P; S. I shrill be in flilitsissippi iii a few days.
when I will be able in explain to you, more at large;
the outrage which has been committed upon you-

‘I!
. ..~..«

 

“ Rich and Poor."—Thcse wiili a few other
cant words have been deemed an all powerful
weapon in the hands ofllie Van Bureu leaders-
and no doubt they have toiiiporzirily availed
themselves of it to great advantage. But the
ariilice was,loo shallow -to continue effectual for
more than a few days--because ilie freemen of
the land will always speedily learn who are
their true and beneficial friends, and who are the
reverse. -For ' example—ihe dcnioguges and
office holders of the party have proclaimed that
all corporations are monopolies and oppressive
lo ilie poor. Now let us test it by the condition
of Conneciiciii—or~io bring it nearer home to our
readers, let us take the manufacturing districts of
this neighborhood. And we ask the daily labor-
ers in these villages, are you better Ufll since the
storm against manufacturing corporations com-
menced, than you were before? Is employ-
meiii foryourselveszind families more abundant‘!
Are wages higher ? Is your compensuiiori bei-
Ier ? Is the comuiodiiy in Wl]l(.‘l] your are
paid of greater relative value? Are you hap-
pier? No. no. no—_vou will all say to the above
queries. Yet these dangerous and oppressive

iroplics which have come upon"ns. ‘Is it noi
iiiaiiifesi, then. that all the cry wliicli has been
raised against these establishments is false? and
miire than that, is lending‘ to do the people in-
jury. Now it is clear that none but men of
property can ereci factories. or~csiaUlisl1' other
expensive works to employ ihe poor and day
laborer. If therefore the rich be crushed, will
not the poor be dragged down with them? If
ihc employer be rendered unable to pay for ser-
vices. their the laborers of co'ii"rse,cannoi be eni-
ployed. Certainly the poor man cannot hire
others in do his bidding—so on the oilier hand.
the rich are wreichedly helpless wiilioui ilie aid
of ilie poor. They are mutually dependent
upon each otlier—‘and distress which falls upon
the one will be parlicipaied in by ilie other.-
Therefore ilie attempt to array ilie one ofihese
classes against the oi her. is not only ridiculous in
ilieory bui fatal in practice. Arid we ask our
industrious and intelligent poor, are you ready to
break up all these wholesome bonds of society.
and lei every one rely on liiin'scll' for the com-
foris and necessaries of life? Can the same
man be his own iaiior, slioc-maker, carpenter,
dcc. die. This would be -resolving society‘ back
into its rudesi and most barbaroris elements.
Again we ask, what benefit have ilie poor de-
rived from this false and vile ailempt to array
one element of coriiniuiiiiy against another’!
Ruin and dcsiruciioii has "come upon all! No.
we are misiaken—ilie demoguges who raised the
shout have sailed inio otfice‘-’—‘havc obiaiiicd
places lucrative and comforting. ‘They have
beiiefiiied ihem'selves—-but ilie people.‘ ilie dear
people, the sovereign people.’ where are they?
Lei ilieiri consider well one fact. The same
demagogues cried out. down with the banks! and
down they went wiih a vengeance. Now for
the rivers of gold and silver! where are they ?
where? Mark! in ilie vaul:s——not ‘of these
monopoliziiig banks, oli no,_lliose are drained
long since-—hui in ilie vaults, ihe' Treasury
vaults, the Post Oifice vaults, ilie Custom House
vaulis+all in Uncle Sam's vaulis—outofwliicli
the holders of ollice, the friends ofllie poor. re-
ceive good fat portions. And you, the cl_c'arp'cople.
ilie poor people. are compelled to take, if you
can get ihem, the bills of broken banks. Nay,
ilie times are such, that were it not for these
same oppressed and belied and monopolizing
banks. you and all of us would have nolliirig
wherewiili to purchase the necessaries of life.
Think ofthese things fellow citizens. and render
justice where justice is due.—-.l\’orwic/i. Courier.

Fuou rm: FnoN'rinn.—-Bufl'alo. Friday eve-
ning. 6 o'clocIc.—Since our paper went to press
we have been informed that an express has ar-
rived from Detroit, bringing the iiiforination
that the Patriots, to the number. of about 800.
are assembled in the neighborhood of Black
Swamp, Toledo and Monroc. ‘

They are under the command of the self-styl-
ed} Adj. Gen. McLeod, Sutherland and others,
zépd are well-supplied with arms, ammunitions,

Tlie-soldiers here are to leave" this evening-
for Detroit, where it is expected theywill arrive
in 96 hours. _

Gcn.— rady, who is in command at that point,
is an active, cflicient oflicer, and will undoubt-
cdley disarm the Patriots as soon as they come
within his reach. ' , ‘1

A rumor has been current here this evening.
that the British near Detroit have fired upon
Our side and killed several men. This, we are
authorised to say by Colonel \Vorih,' is wholly
witliout foundation.—Bu_fl21lo-Commercial Adv.

\Ve learn that Major Gen. Scott arrived in
this city the day before yesterday (Saturday
evening)-_-having probably been brought hither
from Bufi'i.lo,- by the rumors which are kept a-
float all along our Canadian frontiers, and one
of which represented thata new expedition a-
gainst Canada was on foot on_ the Chateaugay
or St. Lawrence river; Whether there be any
thing in this particular rumor, we know not;
but learn that Gen. Scott has made a further
requisition upon his excellency Gov. Marcy for
two battalions for those rivers, and that the
Governor has promptly caused orders to issued
to supply the troops from the nearest brigades,
if Brig. Gen. \Vool. who is in that quartenshall,
l.ll‘l(I(_:l"tll_elllsll'uctl0l'l8 of Cen. Scott-, deem their
services important.

. Whilst writing ilie above,we further learn that
a gentlcmanrlias just arrived at Buffalo, who
brings despatchcs representing that a passenger,
from Detroit, met at the Black Swamp, beyond
Sandusky; about the 5th inst. a new and large
band. destined to invade Canada. from our side
oi the Detroit river, and which band had many
wagons landed with arms and ammunition.-‘
VVhat orders Gen. Scott has given, orwhat
movement he may make, consequeiiton this re-
port, we know not; buthc has on that frontier.
Brig. Gen. -Brady, witlia competent force of
regulars rnd volunteers to inoct the contingency,
and Col. VVorth is irriiiiediately charged with
the protection ofthc Niagara frontier, also with
a coinpetcni force. K.

Chateaugay and St. Lawrence rivers, Gan. Wool

“ Burrano, Feb. 3, l_838.

“ Our annuity , due in June, 1837, still re-»
mains -unpaid. The Government agent here
offered to pay us, “one half in goodsilfld I-he Oth-
er half in money. .. \Ve declined accepting, un-
less the whole amount was‘ paidin cash. ‘
“ It is very inconvenient to us, as well as to
the creditors of our nation, ‘these long delays in
the payment of treaty rtipulations. VVhy it is
so, we are unable to say. .
“ Goods cannot pay our debts. Calicocs or
prints cannot buy flour or pork; cotton hand-
‘kerchicfs cannot buy. co.-ii, potatoes, &c.-—
Stockings, perhaps. would do some good in
this cold weather. But what can two or ili.iee
dozens cfpairs do in the tribe ofsome tliousands?
“ Many ofour poor people are obliged to buy
provi.-:ions,.a'_iid resort to every insane to keep
themselves and their families froin«starvation.—
If the Government would be so kind as to pay
us tliesinall pittance due us by solcmii treaty, it
would go far to relieve those who are suffering
for the want of provisions and other means to
keep them alive in this inclement season of the
year. .

set fire to all his houses, which, b .iiig fire proof.
were but slightly injured; destroyed his steam

concealed in the high mountains, about 100 in

The names of Scott and \V%th,§alonc.‘liav
contributed more tcrarrest the order-dilficulies,
than the combined civil authorities oflliecouritry.
Here, near the field of their brilliant achieve-
ments in the last war, is an abiding recollectioii
of their services; and no sooner wastlieir arrival
announced on the frontier, than public tranquil-
lity was in a measure restored.

We will add also, that the prompt and ener-
getic conduct of Col. \Vorth. in his late expedi-
tion up the lake, is worthy of all praise.-—
'I‘hi-oughhis vigilance and alacrity, the arms of
the State have been mainly recovered, and the
contemplated invasion of Canada entirely frus-
trated. The difliculzies encountered by him In
ascending to Detroit, were overcome by that
perseverance and enterprise, for which he is so
peculiarly distinguisned.-—Bu_fl'alo Commercial
