We onJerftand that the governor has no reliance upon the fmcerity of thofe Indians, ind believes that the prefent, is only another attempt to gain time to complete their arrangements the fmcerity of their profedions, however, will he determined immediately, as they aie required forthwith to depart for fort Wayne.

Fellow Citizens, OWING to a coincidence of fortuitous circumftances, fome characters mount, with rapid Rrides, the ladder oj jamc others ascend with Herculean fuccefs bj their assumed importance whiifl others lefs fortunate or lefs assuming, tho probably much better qualified, are left to occupy the back gtotlfld in fociety, either from their own modest? or a want of pro per discrimination by the body po litic. I w ith not to be underdooO by the above remark, to convey a ny idea of cenfure upon thofe w ho have preceded, o are cotemporary with rrn fell ; nor to found my own praife but the belt of wit (expe rience) has taught me, t lid t fr Dtrtite and talents to become useful the month of modesty mull be thrown aside f How many men of talents, amongfl the mafs of mankind, have, and are likely to remain unemployed from the vjant of influential friends or of pecuniary means to bring ihemfelvcs before the pub lie, who, in other refpe&s, poffcfs sufficient juflice to reward merit ? Whence it becomes neceflury, ef pecially in republics, for a man not only to enter utinbut alfo to express a good opinion of himfelf. This may be done in the manner of the immortal Cicero, (and is not his example worthy of immitatton ?, by ufing modest egotism or fclf praife. I will now call your attention, fellow citizens, to the political hiftory of our territory. Previous to the fall of 1805, you were measurably enslaved under the firO grade

of government, for you paid taxes without your content ; to remedy which, we ailumed the fecond or reprefentative grade, where all, thro their proxies, have a right to debate, council and declare. Bu! there w ere (hackles in this grade the cL legate to congrt fs w as elected by the two houses in Head of tU people and the council were appointed by the pre fide nt ol the U. States for the term of five ears. To cure this, malady in our political conllitution, the general government were petitioned upon thofe points, and granted the deiirable and tleftred relief. And let us here enquire to w hofe exertions it w as ow ing ? Was it not to mine immediately, and others lecondarily ? i cry one acquainted in lue lead, with the proceedings of our legiflature mull anfwer in the affirmative ; for the journals of the Houie of Reprefentativ es proves the tacl. By the clue ges which were thus effected, the territor) gained two important HjiuIs towards her mort rompleta emancipation and independence. But a tavttli r may aik, w hat my motives were i allure you lel!ow citizens they were not thofe of ambition, becaufe I was neither a candidate tor congrefa or the legillati ve council ; but they were of the purefl kind, the love of country : and the s a me motive now induces mc to ptopofe myfelf a candidate to reprcfbtlt the territory in congrei-i, at

the approaching election in Auguft. In thus offering my fervices it may be neceifary to give fome aflurance of my principles. An American by birth, In heart and in conduct an admirer of her rights and a fupporter of her laws an opponent to the tyrannical principle which would enflavthe liberty of a fellow being for our own eafe or convenience, and an advocate for free but energetic governments. Thofe being my political tenets, (houiel 1 become your choice, 1 pledge myfelf to ferve you with fidelity. I am your fellow citizen, And humble fervt. GENt. W.JOHNSTON. May, 1812.
