Blake, relative to any remarks he might have made in the course of a public speech. The statement he then made to McKinney was taken, or pretended to be taken down by him. but was entirely different both in spirit aTid substance from what has been subsequently published as of this deponent's knowledge, who can neith'ir r^ad nor write. Before parting, McKinney pretended to read what he had written, but |upon hearing the certificate with his name attached to it read at this time, he most positively asserts that such was not the purport of what he told McKinney or what Mettinney read to him. And furthermore, the deponent says that he never did hear any thing from Colonel Blake calculated to leave any impression of the kind upon his mind. He also states that with Wm. J. Cunningham, whose name is subscribed as a witness to the certificate, he was not at that time acquainted nor does he believe that his name was subscribed at the time the statement was drawn up *$Y" ~u his

Communicated.

I From the Builalo Journ. of Aug. 12J senator Van Jiuren, antl Mi. Speaker Stevenson spent several days in our village last week. Mr Van liuren'n visit was connected with the politics of the day he moves about from one quarter of the country to Another, inspiring his troops Tor the great battle in November. lie is a skilful commander, but he is destined on this occasion, as in others in which he has figured, to a signal defeat His overthrow will be as great, we trust, as that nl ins chit at. the sccmd battle of Orleans, lately luught.

There is a peculiar obliquity of vision in the supporters ol the hero,

which

purporting to have been

l^oed by hitn, dated ''June 5th, iBiij"

'prevents them, at all Limes, from seeing more than one side of a question. Tu the itinerant politicians named in the above extract, we believu no blame is attached, by the Jackson papers, lor going liom tovyn to town and from county to county, and stave to state, in pursuit, doubtless of recreation perhaps (thou»h we hope not,) ol health Others of the same political school are journeying to and fro, seeking whom they may- enl.gnten, we suppose yet nothing is seen amiss in these doings. Oen. Jackson, too, the great type and mode ot l.ue republicanism, (we beg pardon of the Albany Argus, which said he had nothing i-i common with republicans,) and of modest self-denial, finds his health and pleasure would be consulted by a visit to IVeeJa *Pi,nS* on the boundary line ol K^tituclo and although iliu precise moment oil

which the Kentucky elections were commenting, n» true and liege Jacksonian'for a inonent imagines, that the visit and elections had any thing in common.

But reverse this picture. Let Mr Clay, impaired in health, as to the eve of every one who now looks upon hint* and who had seen him before —he obviously is—enjoined by gentlemen of the highest medical standing in the country, and wholly unconnected with politics, to abstain trom application to business and travel let Mr. Clay seek, in conformity with their advice* to regain his lost health—lost mainly in arduous application to official duties}— and straightway he is blackguarded —our reatlers will excuse the word —it is the only one that is applicable to the facts—by every Jackson pa per in theUniob.-4iThe travelling Se cretary" the "peddlingCabinet" the "arch-intriguer" and quantities of such choice phrases, are bandied about from one end of the nation to the other. If Mr. Clay's journey be to his own home and state, it is for the purpose of influencing the elec tioo.—If it had been directed to the north, or the east, it would in like manner, have been to gain or to se cure proselytes.— II he be received with enthusiasm and makes a grateful reply, he is fawning to the people, if he pass quietly and without notice the people despise and have deserted him. So, of Mr* Adam3, the President—of all men living the most unostentatious, simple, and direct in his appearance, habits and manners —it he be recognized in the streets, at his hotel, and cheered by his fellow citizens, jhis few brief words of thanks are ridiculed as cold and wanting in eloquence. The Richmond Enquirer, received to-day, is quite facetious, for one of its saturnine cast, that the President should have bid his friends in Philadelphia "good nightand actually discovered, with the assistance, we suppose, of some professor of languages ot the vicinity, that those words spproach nearly in signification, to an expression »'bon soir," used on some occasion by the French K.ing- I he eru dition* of the discovery is only exceeded by its pleasantry It the President pass through tiiis city, not only without any parade, but seeming to avoid all appearsnce of it, it is announced as a significant fact, that the corporate authorities did not wait upon him —as though, if there be any thing in it, they, and uot the chief magistrate of the union, were not, in such a case, the dishon »red parties." Again—owing to the appointment ot the Secretary of VVar, Mr. Maibour, as minister to England, li. Porter, of this state, was called to the war department, and his immediate attendance at VV ashington was required, lhe call was complied with aud now when, in a temporary interval in the business o| the department, the Secretary returns to New-Vork, to arrange and put in order his private att'aira, and io prepare lor removing his family to Washington he, too, under ail these circumstances, is taxed with quitting his post for electioneering purposes.

THE COUNTY MEETING.

The county meeting ol the friends of the Administration, held in the

dav last, was such, both as to char-

icter and number, as to afford great gratification to the friends of the About 500 of thfl bone and cause sinew of the county and from the County too, were in attendance The farmers and mechanics, who know how to appreciate the blessi igs of a good *nd peaceable administration: the old soldiers, who fought and bled for their liberties, were there.—Each considering it the cause of his country, boldly came out and proclaimed himself its friend VjjtjT, j{~ Lancaster Reporter.

More disturbances among the Inif :. dians The following is an extract of a letter from a highly respectable correspondent at Cantonment Gibson, under date of 15th wit

Sir—It seems that peace and tranquility cannot be maintained in this section of the territory, where so many Indian tribes are crowded together, possessing such various hab its, and laboring under the influence of a revengeful and warlike disposition.

The ca Irrt iri which wc seemed to have reposed for a short time past, appears to have been the harbinger ofa coming storm. On the 5th currant, an Osaje was killed at Hopefield, near Union Mission, by five unknowif persons. The friends of this man, (who have in some measure abandoned the hunter life, and under the direction and influence of the missionary establishment, are particularly engrossed in agricultural pursuits) immediately collected and pursued the lurking Indiansovertook and killed the party, consisting of one white man, two hall breeds and two Indians.

The information of this unpleasant affair was communicated, by express to col.

Arbuckle, com

manding at this place, on the evening of the 7th inst A detachment of°regular troops, under the command of Lieut. Thomas Johnston, was immediately despatched, with instructions to reconnoitre the country and put a stop to any further outage.

They proceeded to the place action, and traversed the circumja cent country but no hostile Indians were discovered.

From the report of Lieut. Johnston it appears, the hostile party ha-i killed some hogs, and stolen one iiorse, which they left in the hurry and confusion of flight. It is believ ed from their custom, equipments, and other indications of national character, that they were Cherokees it is apprehended that this late oc currence will lead to farther distuibances in this quarter

A letter from another correspond entat Fort Smith, of 10th ult, gives a brief account of the above transaction, and then adds the following:

Report has just reached us, that the men who were attacked and killed, were of the name of Roberts, formerly of Red river."
