No opinion can yet be formed, with any decree of certainty, of the general result, in the Wabash counties.

INDIAV TREATY.

The Pottawattamie treaty, recently held at the'treaty grornd, near Logansport, has resulted in the cession to the United States ef a choice body of land, lying in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, containing upwards of six millions of acres. The prescribed limits, embracing this valuable tract of country, are Grand River, in Michigan, on the north, and La Plein River, in Illinois, on the west.,' This important cession, we are informed, embraces all the lands in Indiann, heretofore claimed by the Pottawatamies, ttith the exception of somr inconsiderable reservations. The stipulations are said to be favorable to the Government, and satisfactory to the Indians. If this treaty should be confirmed, these lands, when surveyed and offered for sale, will open a valuable field to to enterprising emigrants, and will, undoubtedly, attract the attention of adventurers, from every part of the Union.

An unfortunate occurrence took place in this town, on Tuesday morning last, which, though duty requires us to notice it, we should, under existing circumstances, comment upon with delicacy. On the evening previous, some difference having arisen between Capt. JAMKH WASSON and Maj. GEO. W. DJSWJEEI, in which the latter considered fefmself insulted, he challenged Capt. WaSf son to meet him in the street, (being in Wesson's house) which was declined. Early on Tuesday morning, Maj. Dewees repaired to Capt. Wesson's armed with a pislol, and, Siecting him on the porch, fired at him, at a distance of about six feet. Wasson, who was turning at the instant, received the ball about the middle of the back, which entered in an oblique direction, ranging from the tight to the left, partially downward, towards the kidneys. His surgeons consider the wound dangerous, though the result is yet uncertain. The ball has not been found, and it is unoertain where it has lodged.— The Circuit Court being now in session, DeWees is heliLin custody, to wait the result.

CHOLERA.—'The epidemic, according to the latest information, is abating, in Louisville and Cincinnati, li has made its appearance in almost evtry town on the Ohio river, in this State. At Madison the disease hnd made the most progress, there having been 30 cases, 15 of which proved fatal. Several cases had also occurred, at Lawton ceburgh, New Albany, Mount Vernon, and KvanBville, the proportisn of deaths being about the samo as at Madison.

SOUTH" CAROLINA ELECTION.—In the election of State Officers, in South Carolina, as was anticipated, no, test of parties, in relation to the general politics of the oountry, was made. The question turned entirely upon Union ana Nullification, the latter be.ing generally sttcoeksful, Mr. Niles ha* the following remarks:

The election for members of the Legislature of this StateT[South Carolina] was held on the 8th and 9th inst. In Charleston district, the "State Rights and Fiee Trade" (alias null ill cation) ticket was wholly carried, by an average majority of 130 or 110 votes, over the Union and States' Rights" ticket.. The contest was exceedingly animated.

The numerical force of the Charleston delegation, (IG) in the House of Representatives, will probably, give to that body a majority favorable to the doctrines of nullification, as the majority was at the la*t session—th^ political character of the Charleston delegation then being as it is now. It seems, also, from what appears in the

Mcrcury," I hat the nulliticatorv partyhas succeeded in several other districts. It is not said, howeier, which party had these districts, at the last eloctton. I

figH TBI SiTlOSil lHTWUCSNCEI. :V: JJJ E VOICE OF A PATRIOT. The following Letter from Gov. ScnnLfct, of Pennsylvania, to a gentleman of Philadelphia, was read to the great Meeting in that city on Saturday last. It discloses the sentiments of a man whose integrity was never impeached, and whose opinions are not influenced by any selfish considerations. Surely no adherent of Gen. Jackson, equally uninfluenced, can read them without pausing to reflect whotlier that adherence is not forbidd^p) by his duty to bis country:

Mif Moc.vrouaflviLLt, Lycoming Co Oct. 16, 1832. ^.v \t Notwithstanding my relfictancc to give my opinion on subjects of«o much moment as those which you and ray friends and Have submitted to my consideration, I would have replied to your letter immediately on its receipt, had not personal considerations determined me to withhold my answer until (he Governor's election should be over. That event has taken place, and it cannot now, by any one, be suspected that improper or personal considerations or feelings mingie themselves with, or in any way influence my opinions on a subject which, particularly at this time, is of such transcendant importance, as the election of a suitable person to be the Chief Magistrate of the United States. The time which has elapsed since the receipt of your letter has not passed away without my taking fiequent occasion to consider its contents, and to examine and well review the events upon which my opinions have been established.— You were rightly informed—I think I told you myself—that I had twice voted for the election of General Jackson to the high station which he now occupies.

If he had not been elected President, and thus had an opportunity of showing his qualifications and disqualifications for the station which, previously to his election, had been So well and so ably filled—so much for the prosperity of the People at home, and the establishment of a high character for the Nation abroad—1 am sure I never could have been persuaded that it was in the power of any one man in this country, to do so much evil and so little good,, as has been effected by Gen. Jackson,since he has been elevated to the Presidency of the United States.

I saw, at the outset of

His

adminis

tration,with extreme regret, Strong appearances of his being greaHy influenced by men wholly unworthy\f his confidence, and 1 greatly feared {hat this would cause him to act upon shch principles as had never before been actcd upon bv a Presieent of the United 'States. It wns early announced, as from authority, that attachment to him was to be regarded as a virtue of the highest order, and that opposition to his will was to be treated as a sort of pettytreason. Indications, in the earliest days of his Administration, of a determination to violate his most solemn promises, in relation to the non-ap-pointment of members of Congress to office, excited the fears of his original friendsi, that he was violating one public promise, only to enable him, the more successfully to violate another.— These apprehensions were soon made certainties, and it became apparent to the whole Union, that he was actively, at the public expense, organizing a personal party to secure his re-elec-tion, and enable him, if possible, to transmit his station and his influence to some favorite partizan, and thus perpetuate a power, which, in all probability, would be exercised, as he has exercised it, to the great danger of the liberties of the People, and to the evil example of every Executive ofiicer in the united States.'.

It is, however, by no means my intention to undertake a task, for which I fear I should be but poorly qualified —a review of the administration of President Jackson my purpose is to show forth why it is, that I, as a Pennsylvanian, and a person who has been highly honored by his fellow citizens, and therefore feels bound in gratitude, to watch over their welfare and

The interests of tWs State are well Understood by the citizens and the constituted authorities, and they have been made %iown with a distinctness and unanimity which could not be misunderstood. -4 f,

All our members of Congress, but one, and all our members of the General Assembly, in obedience to the well known wishes of their constituents, declared that the continuance of the Tariff and the re-chartering of the United States Banlrv were, above all things, most desired by Pennsylvania, as vitally important to ber prosperity** What has been the result! President Jack* son—who owes so much to Pennsylvania—and his Cabinet—in which there is m» Penwylvanian—have labored incessantly to have changes made in the Tariff, greatly against the interests of Pennsylvania.and this object they have attained. With respect to the rechartering of the Bank of the U. States, a

large majority of both Houses of Con-1 gress agreed with the State of Pennsylvania, and passed a bill for that purpose. This bill was rejected by the President he declared it should not pass, and refused to give it his signature. These things would seem to evinee in the President an obliquity of mind,or a settled and determined hostility to our interests, and a total disrespect, if not a studied contempt, for the wishes of our citizens and constituted authorities.

His rejection of the Bank Charter, however injurious, might have been tolerated, had he not chosen to couch it |n such offensive and

arrogant

roost

tutional, on the most important subject. I refer in a more especial manner, to what he has thought proper to say of the TARIFF and the decisions of the SupremeCourt.

When I read the unsound, and uik tenable* and altogether new And pernicious doctrines held forth by the President in relation to the opinions and deci^ons of the Supreme COUI t, my mind involuntarily reverted to his contempt for their decree iu the case qf the state of Georgia,for having unjustly and cruelly imprisoned the missionaries, who had gone amongst the Indians to instruct them in the gospel truth, and who are even now unaccused of crime. They, the ministers qf the meek and lowly Redeemer, are left to languish in a dungeon, for no other offence if offence it may be called, that I have ever been able to ascertain, than the having labored to do the will of their Master, and because President Jackson has not carried into effect the decision of ihe Supreme Court.

How entirely, and in how manv instances, he has set at naught the adlvice and conBent of the Senate, are matters of such notoriety as precludes the necessity ofmv dsing anything more than recall then* to yoiir memory, as well as the fulfilment, io the letter, of the prediction of Senator Benton, that if General Jackson should ever be elected President of the United,States, the Congress-men would have ti legislate with pistols in their belts." I well remember when {he letter of Benton was published antHfe-publishedj yara^ago, that I regarded it as a mere effusion of ignorance and tnalice. Nothing but facts, stubborn, ell authenticated, irresistible facts, cimld have convinced me of the truechaWcter of Gen. Jackson, as it has been exhibited since he has become Chief Magistrate of our country, to the great lojs^f our character and wealth,and to the shading of the very foundation ofour Constitiiiipn,and whole system of policy.

Excuse me,my good frieijd, for having troubled you with as diffusive a statement of the prominent causes which have induced me to change my opinion of General Jackson, and to come withsome reluctance, to the conclusion that neither his education, his acquirements, nor his previous habits, have, in any wise, fitted him for the station to which he now, after experience, and in violation of his pledge, desires to be re-elected.

You and your friends have been so brief, and, allow me to say, so guarded, in your letter, that I should feel somewhat at a loss to determine, whether you have or have not made up your minds to vote against President Jackson, if I did uot know, that you and all your family are firmly attached to democratic principles,and to 'he American System and this knowledge induces me to conclude that you will not, by your votes, do any thing which would risk the dissolution of the Ur\ion, and the almost certain ruin of Pennsylvania, to your attachment to an individual J5- ', _• V*

rights—have made up my mind that I ought not* and that, therefore* I will nof.vote for any man as an Elector who is beleivcil to be friendly to the re-e-lection of President Jackson.

The reading of the letter was frequently interrupted by loud and long continued bursts of applause aud the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:

RcsohaU That the hearty thanks of this meeting be, and they hereby are, tendered to JOHN ANIIKRW SHTULIE, Esq., of Lycoming County, late Governor of Pennsylvania, for the msnly, independent. and patriotic spirit which breathe* through his letter, dated the 16th instant, and that its statement of facts, and its principles, be earnestly and anxiously recommended to the serious and attentive consideration of the citizens of Pennsylvania. ff"

Resolved, That the editors oT tfie Anti-Jackson papers in the State of Pennsylvania be requested to publish in their papers, the letter of Governor Shulze of the 16th instant, that *.20,000 copics of it be published in the German language, and .50,000 copies of it in the English language and that the An-ti-Jackson party be requested to take pains to have the letter distributed throughout every township in PeonsyK vama.

Meanly ambitious to public trust, without the virtues to deserve it, intent on personal distinction, and having forgotten the ends for which alone it is worth possessing, the miserable being concentrated all in self, learns to pander to every vulgar prejudice, to advocate every popular error,to chime with every dominant party, to fawn flatter and deceive, and becomes a demagogue. IIow wretched, is that poor being who hangs on people's fdvor!— All manliness of principle has been lost in his long course of meanness: he dare not use his temporary popularity, for any purpose of public good, in which there may be a hazard of forfeiting it and the very eminence to which he is exalted, renders but more

Or whether great tracts ot land were not absorbed into those vast lakes or inland seas which occupy so much space to the west of us. But to leave the natural, and come to the political state: we know how the French have erected a line of forts from the Ohio to Nova Sco//a,includingallthe inestimable coun try to the west of us, into their exorbi tant cluim.

Mr. Carson alone advocated nullification. When he took bis seat, David Baker, Esq. a Revolutionary soldier, venerable for his age and unblemished character, rose, with a staff in each hand to support his tottering frame, and requested permission, to address a few words to "his fellow-citizens. After premising that tie was probably the, oldest man in the house, he went on to say that be enlisted under Washington, in the first regiment raised in Virginia, in the beginning ofour Revolutionary struggle: and after other- remarks, be added* that in those days there were men who attempted to resist the laws of their Government, and they were publicly tarred and feathered and, continued the venerable old patriarch* he /bared it must eovte to that here! When this was uttered, the whole audience, as if by one impulse, united in a most deafening applause and thaold veteran sat down, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of his fellow-citizens. —-A*. C.
