The Editor of tins p ipet has fetfl a letter from captain Snellmg the commandant of Fort Hrnfon in which he reL.te? tint he had been informed by the Indians, that 1 celebrated chief railed White Pidgeonis now going the rounds aningO the feveral tribes with a fpeech from the Britilh agency at Maiden, the eXat purport of Mrhifti the Indians who told the captain tOufd not learn, further than that they were invited to Maiden to get arms and am nun'th n, which invitation they were about to accept. The Indian? further told the captain that there as a conllant communication between two perfoni in this territory and the Bri:ilh agent at Fort Maiden. Several of the pipers which hive pub limed the letter of lWyd and P. efcott, have expatiated on the mifcOntluCI of our militia. The ftddrefs from Meflrs.

What fav cd us from thofe tlt.f atened Inutilities ? there is no man wlio has any knowledge of the circumfl.Mn es but will helieve that the military attitude in which the countiy was put by the tvrnor, prevented i; frofli ex liibiting I fcene of blood and devaluation, that would hvc been terrible to nature yes, the ,k i:fpeliMr gentfcmttt" hiinf.lt in all prob inility owes hil own, and the lives of his family (if he has p'irl to the verv man whom he has to btfely calumniated. Mn. smt T, As the ftlbj Q of M 3 Sate Government" is becoming generally interefting to this territory for the information of m fellow citizrn, I wiHi von to pu'dilli in your Sun th following extract of i letter from our delegate m congreU, dated lOtl Jan. 181. 11 Your favor enrloiing the memorial, I received and prefented. Tin memorial for our adtniftion iwto the union Dp n the f one footing with the irigtnat Ratet, has met a very favorable reception b) th felecl com mitt re. And 1 expect tuat the fenfe of

F.. T. Andrews, J ph Allen, iiiiam C. Bain,

the committee will be to report in favor of the prayer of the memorial. ' " Whether or not I (h ill be able to obtain the plTage of an aft for that purpofe, during the prrfent fellion, I am as yet unable to fay. But if it Ihould not this feffion, I doubt not that it will be fuccefsful

at the next." Having underlined, for we have not leen it, that a federal paper in Frankfort, Ky. printed by H Marfiiall, is teeming with IbtiK againft governor Ilarrifon, we re. publill the following from a federal paper of VirgiuiS merely to fhew what dificrence appears in the fenttments of federal

Editors : A mefi' ge was received from the prefident, eoncerningdifpatchea from gov. liarnlon. 1 he difpitchei were read by the ch rk. They are loflgi and circumftantial. 1 he nio( profound attention was pjiid. 'l'hc unadorned nai rati ve of the engagement had much efTrrt. Without any fooliih attempts at the pathetic, the narration tou iied the hearts of all, and fUrted the tears of many. There was never a ftatemeitt drawn up by any (officer mote correc ly Mow unlike thr contemptible boalting of the windy Wilkinl'on. , Governor Flarrifon, by his conduct in this afl'air, has gained immortal honor. There are fo ma ny 1 1 aits in this man's character that fo refetnble WalhingtOfi, fhotlld ever this country's (ttustiotl again dtmand a great gc neraliilimo, many if not all eyes will be dire4ed to him. The fallowing rpfttlutions have been pail ed by the Legi(lture of Kentucky with but two dilfenting votes. Resolved, By the fenate and houfe of representatives of the ftate of Kentucky That in the late can p. gn againft the In diaus upon the Wabaflt governor Wm. H. II ai rifon, has behaved hke a hero, a patriot and a general ; and that for his cool, deliberate, fktlfol and gallant condu ". in the battle of Tippacanoe, he well dtferves the WSrmeft thanks of his country and the nation. Resolved, That the governor of this date be requeftod to tranfmit a copy of the

above refolution to governor William Hen- William" Lamb,
