Mr. Stout in the last Western Sun, wishes to make it appear that we do not quote correctly. We can inform our positive neighbor, that the remarks we quoted from the Richmond Enquirer, is from an indisputable source, ll'v do not pretend to say that the article published in the Sun of last week, villi the "Richmond Enquirer" Riven as a credit, did not originally appear in that pa per, but Mr. Stout ought to knva that more than one article on the same subject, can ! appear in any paper Now, hc positively, fiay, with backers to the assertion as plentiful as blackberries in summer, that Mr. Ritchie diJ, when he awoke from the lethargy in which he had been kept for years, make use of the language verbatim ct literatim which appeared in the Gazette of the I Oth ult. He quiet neighbor there are two ends to every thing. I republish the above, merely to assure my positive neighbor, that although he may have "'backers to" his Assertion as pJcntiful as blackberries in summer," they Tin p 1 t The Luauirer can be seen bv anv one.

A general meeting of the Democratic ftepablicans of Daviess county, is requested ai the Court house in Washington, on Saturday the lGth inst. at i o'clock, p m, for the purpose of chosing Delegate to represent them in the State Convention to he held at Indianapolis, in December iuxt to select candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and such other matters as (hey may deem necessary and proper. M. November 8th, 1633. Indian Tiikatt Thetrcatv with the Miami Indians for the sale of their lands in this state is not yet concluded. We learn bv a gentleman who lelt the treaty .ground yesterday, that the Indians were ; expected to give a linal answer to the propositions of the commissioners this day. It is the general opinion of those who have Ijocu present at the treaty that the Miamics will only sell a -small portion of their laIs,and there is no probability of their being induced to cross the Mississippi at this time. Fort Wayne Sentinel, Oct. 0. The Globe of the 21th inst. announces the appointment of Peteu V. Daniel, of 'Richmond, Va. to be Attorney General of the United States, in the place of Roger B. Taney, resigned. lb. The Herald vcrv plainly intimated that Mr. Clay xcill be a candidate for the Presidency at the election in 183r. - It seems that Mr. Clay and a portion of his friends belong to that class ot politicians who cannot be instructed by the admonitions of the wise or the unerring lesions of experience.
