VINCENNES, NOV. 20, 1830 Maryland Ejection. Complete returns from all the counties iti the state have been published m tho Baltimore Republican, by which it appears the opposition majority -s less 1U1 lv0 hundred votes. At the "last presidential election, Adams received seven, and Jackson live of the electoral votes of Maryland. Jackson must then have been in a minority in the state, and the opposition claim a victory there, because they are not now in a minority. Ohio Election. Complete returns of the election in the state of Ohio hive not teen received; sufficient, however, have bn:n published to leave no doubt of the election of den. M Arthur as (Jovernor, and to make it verv nrobable there will bo -a small majority in the Legislature in taverof the administration. uCrwfordi.ville, Nov. 2d, 1830 Dear Sir Enclosed is a copy of a communication received at this office from the acting commissioner of the general land office, in relation to the selections of land by the commissioners of the Michigan and Ohio road for its construction. It is perhaps proper that publicity be given to it, so that those interested may be apprised of the decision t)f the proper department relative to the selection of those lands. It will be seen by this communication that so far as selections of land for the road have been mads within the lands ceded by the Indi ans to the United States they have been rejected, and that other selections must consequently be made within the unce ded Indian territory By relerence to the treaty by which the lands in question were granted to the state of Indiana, it will be seen that the construction given to it is the proper one, and it is only to be regretted that it had not been construed in an earlier period. Respectfully, sir, your ob't serv't. SAML. MILROY." Copy General Land Office, Oct. 13fA, 1830. Gentlemen The road commissioners of the state of Indiana having forwarded to this office a list of certain tracts situated within the townships to be sold at your effice during the next month, which ttny have selected for the (Michigan and Ooio road, I have to inform you that it has been decided that the lands ceded by the 2d article of the Pottawatarnie treaty of 1826 for making that road, for an entirely separate and distinct cession, and that no lands ceded to the UniteJ States by the 1st article of that treaty, or by any other treaty, are liable to be entered under the provisions of that article, or of the act of congress fthc 2d of March, 1827, (Land lavs, p. 192,) the selections are therefore rejected, and you are advised of the fact in or der that you may 7iot withhold them from the public sales in case the commissioners should have furnished you with a list of them, and requested their suspension from the sales. With great respect, your obt serv't. JNO. M. MOORE, Act'g Comm'r. The Register and Receiver Land Office, Craxsfcrdsviilet 2nd1 a." By the above communications it is ev. ident that disappointment will near the prospects of a very speedy selection of the Michigan road lands, and that those lands will have to be taken in the territory yet belonging to the Indians. We insert below the first and second articles of the treaty from which the state derives title to the lands, so that ev cry citizen can judge for himself of the justice of the construction given by the acting commissioner of the general land office. 'ARTICLE 1. The Pottawotamie tribe of Indians cede to the United States their right to all the land within the following limits : Beginning on the Tippecanoe river, where the northern boundary of the tract ceded by the Potawat3mies to the United States by the treaty of St. Mary's, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen intersects the same ; thence, in a direct line, to a point on Eel river, half way between the mouth cf the said river and Pierish's village ; thence, up Eel river, to Seek's village, near the head thereof; thence, in a direct line, to the mouth of a creek emp tying into the St. Joseph's, to the boun dary line between the state of Indiana and Ohio; thence, south to the Miami: thence, up the S3me, to the reservation at Fort Wayne; thence, with the lines cf the said reservation, to the boundary established by the treaty with the Miamics in the year one thousand eight bun drc J and eighteen ; thence, with the said line, to the Wabash river; thence, with the same river, to the mouth of the Tip pecanoe river ; and thence, with the said Yippecar.oe tiver, tothc place of beginr.inir. And the said tribe also cede to the United States, all the riht to land within the following limits: Beginning at a point upon lke Michigan, ten miies due l orth of the southern extreme thereof: unning thence, due cast, to the land ceded by the Indians to the United States bv the treaty of Chicago; thence, south, with the boundary thereof, ten miles ; thence, vcs:,tothe stuihern extreme of!

lake Michigan ; thence, with the shore thcicof, to the place cf beginning. Article 2. As an evidence of the attachment which the Potawatamie tribe feel towards the American people, and particular to the soil of Indiana, and with a view to demonstrate their liberality, and benefit themselves by creating facilities for travelling and increasing the value of their remaining country, the said tribe do hereby cede to the Uuited States, a strip of land, commencing at Lake Michigan, and running thence on the Wabash river, one hundred fect wide, for a road, and also, one section of good land contiguous to the said road, for each mile of the same, and also for each mile of a road from the termination thereof, though Indianapolis to the Ohio river, for the purpose of making a road aforsaid from Lake Michigan by the way of Indianapolis, to some convenient point on the Ohio river. And the General Assembly of the State of Indiana shall have aright to locate the said road, and to apply the said sections, or the proceeds thereof, to the making of the same, or any part therof; and the said grant shall be at their sole disposal." It will be recollected that the United States have always utterly refused to survey the road lands, and this position was indicative of the determination to object to any claim which the State might set' up to lands ceded by the first article of the treaty, or to any other ol the United States' Lands. Many gentlemen incline to the opinion that l tie Indians did not contemplate an additional cession by the 2nd article; but the treaty, in its own language, is the rule of action and is paramount law. No officer of the government has the righ to construe beyond the plain letter of1 the treaty, and any construction w hereby Indiana would be permitted to select U. States lands for the purposes of this road, would be viewed by our sister states as an infringement upon the common right of the confederacy. We are uninformed of the extent of the instructions forwarded to Gen. Tipton; but we highly estimate his good intentions, and feel confident that he was fully persuaded that a different construction would be given to the treaty. Although we are some w fiat disappointed in the prospect of being able to select lands in the purchase; yet we indulge the hope that equally good lands will be obtained in the Indian country, and that but little tima will be lost in bringing them into mat ket. inasmuch as the Legislature had not heretofore made any provision tor the time of sale of the lands. The whole matter will be a sub ject meriting the particular attention ol the Legislature at its approaching ses 9ion, and no doubt need he entertained by the contractors on the works as to the fact that every possible measure of justice and relief will be affoided them.

A NEW COUNTERFEIT. We have before us a counterfeit five dollar draft of the Branch of the U. S. Bank, payable at Fayette ville, so well executeel as to have passed at one ot the banks without detection On a partiallar examination, however, its spurious . character is very apparent. The name of the payee in the body of the note, and the signature of the President, are considerably blotted; and the names of the Cashier and payee, together with the rest of the filling up, are executed in a cramped hand writing, unlike the genuine notes. The paper is good. We understand that three other similar counterfeits have been detected at the Branch Bank within a fewday s . Co unterfeit Detector. THE LOST MAIL. The Post Master in Cincinnati on learning that a mail goinn; east bv Chillieothe was lost between Williamsburg &. Ilillsborough, immediately started on that line c 4, ' c - . . for the purpose ot ascertaining the tacts. r, 1 ...t , , , I hey are as follows: At three o clock on riM , rw i ,.i .1 i I hursday morning, (Jot. 11th, the mail w;!i;., :.u senders; the bout in front of the statro contained two trunks, and the mail hairs on top! It is supposed that the mail was thrown out of the boot before day, in passing over a causeway about six miles beyond VYilliamsburjjh, ami the driver proceeded 0 miles further before he discovered the loss. lie immediately returned on the road, but did not find the mail, as in the mean time it had been carried into the woods about one hundred yards from the road, where it w as found uu the following Saturday, with the strap cut. the contents emptied, and several letters mutilated. On examination, it did not appear tint anv thin had been taken irorn the mail. We hope this will be a lessen to contractors and drivers, and cause th'Mii in ... tuture to make the salety ot the mail the iirst e ject. Nat. Rcnub. jcrom me nnoxviiie irgis:em.

The elevation ot editors to office, tinder the new government ot France, is a matter of gratulation to those journalists in this country, who have been visted with official honors, under the p:esentoi former administrations. I is a laise and will ever be an unpopular policy in a re publican country, to proscribe any set of men in consequence ot their vocation The arguments agains- the appointments of editors, which operated most upon the public mind, if any so operated, was the charge that offices wcie given them, as pay lor their p mical advocacy and services This surely is not flattering to the principle d the fraternity, if true: but when it is known, and it may be readily ascertained that, fromFiank!in down to the piescut time, the editors of public journalists when elevated to office have r flccied as much honor on the country, as any other set of men so elevated. ?Me fuilacy of the charge will at once b r sco In France, as in this country, iha selection of certain editors to fill i;-.:p -"taut stations, has been made soieiy i.i .nation to their capacities, and not for their party violence. From the Lancaster Journal. The election of the present year, wtlong ago asserted, would convince the most sceptical that anti-masonry, was on the decline in mis county, and the result as given in this cloy's paper, establishes the correctness or our prediction. A majority of nearly, tixteen hundred at the last election is nont reduced to about mnc hundred, indeed for senator it is but Uj - r hundred and form fi-,,, PhU ;th I - --y-w. the strong evidence, of the rapid decline of anti masonry in other counties, in this state, insures its speedy downfall. Many tf the leaders of that party care not a fig for masonry, and finding the flag under which ti cy are now fighting unpopular, they will soon abandon it and hang out another banner, perhaps that of the national republicans, as more propitious to their views.
