This gentleman is not utterly destitute ofcan-

be questioned. But aday or two since, Mr.

I vidualof‘ his town, whom he probably considered

of the currency, and the unparalleled distress,
under whiclt tlte business part oftlte communi-
ty. is now writhing. And iii the course of his
remarks, he frankly ztnd most truly said “ there
is some!/12' ng rl re/11/:full_'/,1 out of joint somctt;7tcrc,”
and that “//e t'.>t;lz‘m::2rl I/re devil 2t70ultl be to pa_t,I bye

security, and every responsible citizen could have
obtained a part of it. This would have been
satisl'nctoz'y to all. But great and general dis-
stttisfactiou exists in relation to the bill as it now
stands. And it is hoped that the people of the
state will send men to the Legislature this
spring, who will so amend the law, as to make
it accord more with the wishes and interests of
ever class of citizens, than it now does.
: T e \Vhig party, by uuwearied exertions,

was strenuously opposed by the Van Buren par-
ty. And they must now rally in Connecticut,
and obtain such an amendment of our state de-
posit act, as will secure to all our citizens, the
privilege of borrowing theirown money.
Another desirable object, and one which
should secure the support of every well—wisher
to the state, is, to have the law so altered, that
counties. and even towns, if they deem it expe-
dient, shall have tltc privilege of appropriating a
portion of this money for the erection of ‘.~ ’orlt
Houses.
But if any amendment is efieected, it must
be done by the exertinti of the ‘Whigs, for the
’au Burcu leaders are determined to make the
plan of distributing the surplus‘ money, when
there ltappctis to be a redundancy in the U.
S. Treasury, as unpopular as possible, because
they wish to retain it in the Pet Banks for elec-
tioneering purposes. If this is doubted, look at
the votes of Messrs. Niles, Ing/tam, Ifalcy,

bill providin_r_r for a second distribution of the
surplus revenue, in January, 1838. They all
voted ttgaittst the bill, and of course, in favor of
giving the use of the money to the Pet l3anks.—-
Tbe bill was passed in the House of Represett-

Senators in Congress, have said by their vote:-.2,
that the people of Connecticut are not to be
trusted with the management of their own mo-

It now remains to be seen, whether the peo-
ple will again trust those unfaithful public scr-
vants, by selecting them, or suffer them to re-
main at home, as a punishment for their tteglect
of duty, attd subservieucy to the Van Buren

CONNECTICUT.
\Ve feel very considerable confidence in old
Connecticut, notwithstanding her political night-
mare for a year or two past, and the more so, as
the \Vltigs are’ beginning to manifest confidence
in themselves. That they have the intrinsic
strength to shake the state clear of the incubus is
without doubt; and if the VVhigs will only do-
tcrmioe manfully to exert it, John M. Niles,
and ltis colleague in tltc Senate of the United
States, will have an opportunity at the next ses-
sion of Congress to pttt in practice their favorite
doctrine of “ obedience to instructions or resigna-
tion.” The nominations made by the ll/.‘ti’g
- party must prevail, if the friends of the Ct)n._~:tl-
tution and laws exert themselves as they ought,
and as we believe they will do. Connecticut
cannot any longer consent to degrade herself, as
she has done for some time past, by sending in-
to the National Councils such men as go to
\Vashington, as mere libellons caricatures other
ancient honor——as wretched misreprescntativcs

sible for a state that has exhibited in the l‘.-allsof

cility as her present delegation in botlt ltouses

TALLAI-I.-’tSS1-IE, March 14, 1837.
The Government F.xpress has just arrived
from the late seat of war, bringing the welcome
ittlellittcttce that peace has again been restored
to Florida.
\Vo arohappy to learn that Governor Call
will not, in consequence ofthis cheering intelli-
gence relax his vigilance in protecting the from-
tier. A strong cordon will be maintained until
the last Indian is beyond our limits. Indeed, it
is to be expected that a few desperadoes. and es-
pecially the lilicasnlty band, will still hold out,
notwithstanding the general Capitulation ofthe
nation.
S.tv_-t'N1\'AtI, March 21, 1 P. M.
Itzclian Dcpretlatitms.—-Ott Saturday night,
the 11th lost. a party of Indians made an attack
on Mr. David Lang's house, on the south prong
of St. Mary’s River, about thirty miles frotn
Jacksonville, and killed Mr. John A. Osteem,
while sitting at supper. The Indians then made
:1 rush upon the house, which was checked by
Mr. Laug’s son, quite a lad, shooting one of the
lutlians entering the door. The family of Mr.
Laugimmcdizttely closed the doors ofthe house
which the Indians attempted to force open, but
failing, they retired, taking oft‘ Mr. Osteem’s
horse, They caught and sealped a young negro
but he fortunately will. it is thought, survive the
wound.
These, are doubtless the same Indians, who
ttot long ago, committed in that section several
outrages of the same nature. They have not
probably heard of the truce, or having heard,
heed it not, and mean to continue their unholy
butcherics. These prowlers. who have -so long
lurked about the south prong of the St. Marya
and Brandy Branch, should be hunted like

the west to the east side ofthe Suwanee River,
eight miles below Cltttrlcs’ Ferry, supposed to
have been used by Osceola and his men, coming
in to General Jet-:sup’s camp, the rafts were dis-
covered on the 12th inst.
