wmtin in that respect which a governor should merit. We abstained from Untieing the late establishment so lon as it was possible to permit their mistatcmcnts to o uncontradicted, and we must believe they are now so well understood that they can give but little trouble hereafter. We (Acknowledge that respect for the state inevitably produces a sort of necessary respect for whoever may be governor but to respect a governor independent of the office bestowed upon him by Ihe people, any further than respect may be due to his virtues and talents if he were a private man, is preposterous and hostile to republicanism. Wherever Vfc discover virtue and talents we shall always honor them, whether in a governor or in a peasant and it cannot be expected that we should pass over the vices, errors and follies of those placed in high and responsible stations, who possess neither. We would in all cases take much more pleasure in hiving subject matter for praise than for censure, but by a singular fatality of events for tlic last two years in our state affairs, it Would appear we are not to have that pleasure, at least until after the next gubernatorial election. In the formation
and expression of our opinions, wo look neither to men nor to mrtics, further
ban the public good requires that has
lwavs been our polar star, and ever
all be. We have alwavs viewed the
landed men, the farmers and mechanics.

from their correspendents at Gibraltar, as late as 13th June, that the report of the Floridas being ceded to the L nited States is untrue. For, at the time their correspondent wrote, no such intelligence had reached that place A writer in the New-York Evening Post, states the following as a fact General Jackson has left positive instructions with the oHiccr commanding in Florida, not to yield the Spanish posts to any authority whatever not even the orders of the president of the U. States, without giving him (gen. J.) days previous notice. The Mobile Gazette of the Uth tilt, states that by a gentleman just from Pensacola, information was received that a body of hostile Indians had appeared on the Escambia, against whom colonel Ring had despatched a body of one hundred and fifty men. The Natchez Republican states, that there is in that city, a gentleman authorised by the Mexican Congress to liquidate the claims of the Americans and
fatal British influence which has for so many fears ar.ncd t ic Indian nations against our western frontiers. It tarries the arms and the power of the United States to the ground wnii h has hcretoforcbeen exclusively occupied by the British North-West and Hudson's liay companies, and which has been the true seat of the British power over the Indian mind. Now the American arni6 and the American policy will be displayed upon the same theatre. The North West and Hudson's Bay companies trill be shut out from the commerce of the Missouri and Mississippi Indians ; the American traders will penetrate in safety the recesses of the Rocky mountains in search of its rich flirs ; a commerce yielding a million fier annum will descend the Missouri; and the Indians finding their wants supplied by Ameiican traders, their domestic wars restrained by American policy, will learn to respect the Afipencan name. The name of the Yellow Sro4r river will hereafter be familiar to the American ear. That a stream of its magnitude should heretofore have been so little

On Sunday the 30th inst. a battalion of the rifle regiment, 300 strong, embarked at Belle Font am r, to ascend the Missouri river to the mouth of the Yellow Stone. The expedition is commanded by Lieut, col. Talbot Chambers, The captains Martin, Makjee and Riley ; the lieuten ants Shade, Clark) kavenaugh, fields and Francis Smith, g ) out Wttli their respeetivc companies. It is intended that the expedition shall encamp during the winter above the mouth of the Kiinse? ; and continuing their Voyage in the spring shall reach its point ol destination in the course ot next summer
The Yellow Stone enters the Missouri
in latitude 48 degrees north ; and in Ion
gitude 27 degrees west from Washington city. The intended post will be at its mouth. The United States will then have a military establishment one thousand eight hundred miles west of the
Mississippi, Sc nearly one hundred miles
ness of the country. In fact the traders
speak of the face or the country upon the Yellow Stone, the serenity of the climate, the rapidity and clearness of the waters, in terms of admiration.
