If Bouck be returned governor, and a legislature of the complexion—the present state policy, 1il roads and canals, will be maintain- the State office holders of this city will be re- and the present organization of the Court vbolished, Such a result will to, though not decisive of the fate of y Clay, and the national measures identified with him, in the great conflict of 1844. If, on the rary, Mr. Bradish be elected—and a majority ot in the legislature, the Erie and other rail sam ard to ssions will be also b Bradish can be elected, provided the whole party, which is opposed to the locofocos, will come out and vote—but we do not believe that they will come out. The policy of the whig leaders—from Governor down to their very editors, is disapproved by the large masses of their own supporters. They will not vote for the democrats, but they will stay at home, and allow the latter, who always succeed to excite their troops, to attain an easy victory. At this stage of the contest, we do not see any possible mode by which the whigs can bring out all their troops. Can Wm. H. Seward see any ? Can Thur- low Weed? Can Charles King? Can James W. Webb? Can any of them see any mode ? — Inreicues or Penny Orvice Beacans.—A very amusing disclosure has been made by the “Express” and “Aurora,” in which a person by the name of Paul B. George figures at fulllength, also Redwood Fisher, M. M. Noah, and several others, who occupy some very ludicrous attitudes. There is also a doctor in the case. It seems that some time last Spring, a small clique, of which the persons we have named were the leaders, was formed for the purpose of establishing a Tyler party, starting the “‘Union” paper—and mo- nopolising all the patronage of government in “these diggins.” A general committe was accord- ingly formed—M. M. Noah made chairman—Red- wood Fisher the private or corresponding secretary, Paul B. George the agent. One of the letters of Fisher, addressed to the Postmaster-General, has been published, and the way in which the whole scheme is put forth to catch the spoils under the pre- tence of creating a new party, would beat any passage in Rabelais, or equal a chapter in Don Quixotte. It seems that the situations in all the public offices —including the blanks,paper and twine—were all to be disposed off by this amusing set of fellows, and all who interfered with them were tobe denounced and putdown. From these singular exposures—in- cluding the droll letter of Redwood Fisher, we now have the origin of the savage attacks made on the President, in the late “Evening Star,” many of them written by Noah himself—and others in other papers, inwhich John Tyler was most bitterly de- nounced, because it was suspected that the printing patronage of the government in New York was to be given to the Herald, “‘owned by a band of for- eigners.” A word on this point. From the first mament that John Tyler became the President, we gave him a manly and firm support, without ever asking or ex- pecting any patronage. We believed him to be an honsst ef magistrate—and he has turned out to beso. Every article inthe Herald describing his position and his principles, before andafter the ex- tra session, originated with us—and although we sent our correspondent to Washington, we gave him his directions and suggestions, and when he failed to follow our orders—when he began to trade on our capital—to represent himself what he was not—to neglect our business, for which he was paid in ad- vance $500, we dismissed him from our employ- ment. No man knows better than the President how little we sought or cared for patronage of any kind. ‘The public has been so generous in its sup. port of the Herald, that we are not under the necessi- ty of begging patronage from any President or any party. Nevertheless, Redwood Fisher, M. M. Noah, Paul George, and their clique, judging of our our mercenary motives as they knew their own to be, supposed that we were striving, seeking, begging for patronage— and hence the violent attackson the President last spring, published in various papers, and which we have no doubt were got up by these very persons.— We know that many of these attacks on John Tyler were written and published by Noah in the “Even- ing Star,” before it died. But the truth is now out—and the whole plot to deceive the President stands revealed. It is one of the small intrigues of office beggars—and a full his- Amusina will be encouraged—the enlargement of the \l will be continued—the State will get deeper debt—the State tax will be repealed—and the finances and currency of the state will be placed in a new position. Such a result will also tend to iil the fortunes of Henry Clay—and enable him tom sin his position as a candidate till the great trial of 1344 This is a brief view of the position of the two rties. What is the prospect of the result ? First,we premise that we must state a general fact political action—a postulate in political philoso- phy—which after a long and careful analysis of the last censes of the United States, and the returns of tions for a series of years, that, in the United ere is an absolute popular majority, vary- ig from 100,000 to 200,000 votes in favor of the ding points of the whig policy, or in other words against the measures, interests or sentiments of the emocrats. Of thisgeneral fact we believe there doubt. The elections of 1840 established can tory of these amusing things, with Fisher’s letter to the Postmaster General, will be given in atew days, including other facts and circumstances of a most laughable character. Exrrctep Exriosion tv Tammany Hati.—We understand that very judicious and extensive prepa- rations are making to get up a superior exhibition at the great county meeting, which is to take place at Tammany Hall, some time this week—probably Thursday or Friday. It appears that the number of candidates who wished to be nominated on the Assembly Ticket was 25; of these, of course, only 13 could be select- ed; and the result is that there are a dozen of dis- appointed candidates. Among this dozen, there are a few who are very much disappointed, and amazingly mortified. Of this number are Tom Carr, Mike Walsh, Commer ford, &c., all of whom are leaders of the young Democracy. One reason for the great excitement on this subject, "is the fact that the vast patronage the truth of it for that jyear—and the recent elec- tions throughout half the Union, although hostile in heir results generally to the whigs, concur in and strengthen the same view. though the aggregate number of legal voters are with the whigs, itis no less a truth anda fact, that political itement, necessary to bring out vo- ters to the polls, exists with the democrats in the highest degree. And to this cause isto be attributed the recent triumphs. The changes of pelitical opi- nions are few, in comparison to the whole number of voters in the country—not 3 of 1 per cent. In fact, generally speaking,the great mass of men change their opinions in politics as seldom as they do their yus creed—perhaps not so often. Yet in conse- quence of the faculty of exciting the people higher, possessed by the democrats, they generally possess the government and govern in public affairs. In no instance has this general fact been so com- tely exhibited, as in the recent election in Ohio. 1 comparison of the returns in that State, it ap- pears that the whigs have polled more than 20,000 fewer votes than they did in 1840, although the legal ple On “rs must have increased, by persons coming -while the democrats show a vote very little nferior to that of 1840—the abolition vete beiag a nere bagatelle of less than 3000 in all. This singu- ar tuect shows conclusively that the refusal of the hatever the reason, to come out and , has given the victory to the democrats. ias been the case in several other States— question may be asked, whether it will not ut the whigs in the election in this State, and so in Massachusetts, next month. Tet it will. There is a lukewarmness t among the whigs, which will operate Their leaders and editors have dis- reat mass. The reckless attacks made President by their orators in Congress— ical violence exerted throughout the ve disgusted the generous and humane the nation. A party that acts froma sonal persecution, fails to excite the sym- pathy of all its members. The spirit that prevailed and gave impulse to the whig party in 1810, wasa spirit of generosity—a spirit of sympathy—a spirit of heroism—mixed with original wit, humor, and some disereditable exhibitions,it is true, but nothing tomar the general impulse. The spirit which has ani- mated the whig party in 1842, has been the reverse It began by a persecution of John Tyler—and a vio- lent and fe ous personal warfare on all his friends, thet has disgusted the whole'nation,and,under favor- able auspices, might make him a formidable candi torr The scenes in Congress—in in public places—stimulated by whigs, pleased the spirit tion ures it, have disgusted the whig masses, and prooably over 100,000 sensible’men have abendoned indallowed the deaocrats easy victories. ich is our view of the recent changes. There is a positive whig majority throughout the Union, and the whig candidate for the Presidency can be elect- ed in 1844, provided the canvass be conducted with ich a spirit of propriety, decency, animation, good taste, and moral sublimity, as will bring out the vo- ters. lathis State, next month, we are popitive Mr in the gift of the next Governor of offices in this city, will be disposed of pretty much asthe New York delegation may dictate. It seems, also, that those at present nominated on the Assembly Ticket at Tammany, are in favor of the old Demo- eracy, or, as their opponents call them, the “ old Hunkers,” or ‘ old Rogues.” The probability is that some of these will ulti- mately be stricken off the ticket. And at tne county meeting all these discordant elements will come in contact, and then there will be a terrible concus- sion, much talking, fighting, swearing, drinking, threatening, and probably a few black eyes, and a great mavy torn coats. Look out for the county meeting ! New Yorx Mirror —We were informed on good authority, that the “ Mirror” would be suspended at the end of the year—and if it does not improve in talent, industry and tact, it may suspend before that time. The ‘ Ladies’ Magazine,” and others, are taki ngthe wind out of its sails—besides what Epes Sargeant’s “ Fashionable New Monthly” intends to do. Mr. Srencer’s Maniresto.—Hon. John C, Spen- cer’s formal renunciation and denunciation of the whig party, was spread betore the New York public yesterday in an Extra Herald. We are confident the speculation was a bad one for Mr. Bennett, and we think it will be little better for Captain Tyler and his new allies.— Tribune. A mistake. We published it in our regular eve- ning edition, without any hope or expectation of ma- king it ‘a speculation,” because John C Spencer's movements are hardly worth ‘a speculation.”— However, we suppose we made as much as the Tri- bune did of Webster's speech. Mesmerism.—Dr. Buchanan, of Louisville and Cincinnati, the great mesmerist of the west, has ar- rived in town, and intends to deliver lectures— probably make experiments. Bryant, the poet, his admirer, says that he throws people into fits, like the hysterics, approaching insanity. There isno necessity for any increase of insanity in New York. We have quite a full stock on hand —and when there is any wanted, the politicians and financiers can furnish a supply in any quantity in Wall street. Avorner Ricumonp in tae Fren.—We have re- ceived a magnificent imperial circular from Harris- burg, calling a meeting there on the 2Ist of Novem- ber, to nominate Gen. Cass for the Presidency. The circular contains a spirited address to the people in behalf of Gen. Cass, and a long and well written account of his brilliant services in various public situations. _ Great Covrest.—An election for directors of the Erie railroad, will be held at 84 Wall street, on the 1th November, It is expected to be a hot contest. Various interests are at work to defeat and outwit each other. Giur is Weexry Lirrrature.—The “ Brother Jonathan” and “ New World” are affered at three cents acopy at the Times office, Boston means this ? What Last Day of the Fatr, Wepnespay, Oct, 26, This is the last great day of the Fair. All those, therefore, who have not yet visited it, should do so to-day. If you wish for a free and comfortable view’ of the various exhibitions, we advise you to go in the day time ; on the contrary, if you have a special delight for ** squeezing made easy,” you can attend in the evening, when the Institute will give practical illustrations in that enchanting science. For full particutars, we refer our readers to the ad- vertisement; but we call particular attention to an unusually magnificent display of fire-works, which will be giveninthe evening by Mr. Edge. Texas anv Mexico.—-Affairs in this part of the world seem drawing to a crisis very fast; and be- fore this time doubtless a bloody battle has been fought, in which many hundreds have lost their lives. At the last accounts there were not more than 2000 Texian soldiers in the field, and these had to contend against fearful odds ; at least20,000 Mexi- cans. But in addition to this, Texas has every thing to fear from the Mexican fleet. The flag shi oi that fleet is the beautiful and powerful sieam shi of war called the Guadaloupe, commanjed by Capt. Charlewood, of the British Navy. This fleet consists in all of seven or eight vessels, all well armed, and manned. Capt. Charlewood, himself, isa most remarkable and daring man; he entered the British Navy when quite young, and has been in several important actions. At the taking of St. Jean D’Acre, he performed several remark- able and daring acts of bravery that procured him signal distinction, and he is cousidered one of the most skilful, scientific and gallant officers of the British Navy. He has beed invested with the title of Commodore of the Mexican fleet. And the crew ofthe Guadaloupe are composed of British seamen, picked by himself for the various ships in that Navy. In the mean time the Texas fleet is laying in harbor for want of money. Texas must rouse herself. Consut to Hatirax.—It appears that Charles H. Delavan, Esq. is to be, or hasbeen, appointed U. S. Consul to Nova Scotia. He will reside at Halifax, which isa beautiful spot. In the summer he can get plenty of wild strawberries, and catch very fine j fish alithe yearround. But he must look out for his pledge. The officers ef the British army know but little of Temperance Societies, andthe wines there are of the choicest kind. It Apostle Delavan can live five or six years in Halifax, preserve his virtue, and live on pure, cold water, we think there is very little doubt of his becoming a saint in Heaven, as well as an apostle on earth. Tueatricass, &c.—Eaton has been playing “ Bru- tus” at Boston. Miss Lee, the danseuse, has re- turned there to the Tremont. Murdoch and Profes- sor Greenbank, are still giving lectures on Elocution. Braham, and his son Charles, have been im- mensely successful in Canada. Sir Charles and Lady Bagot have shown them every possible kind- ness, and invited them to all their parties, and given a dinner especially to them. They return te New York next month, thence to Charleston, New Or- leans and the Havana, and to sail for England in April or May next. They have received many re- quests to visit New Brunswick, and Neva Scotia, but they are so much wanted in England, that they have declined going to Halifax or St. John’s. Nagel and Nouritt have not yet returned from Canada. Forrest is still playing at Philadelphia; but ns engagement has not been so profitable as that of Celeste’s ; she has had a very brilliant round of success at the Chesnut street theatre. It has been stated that she received $5,500 for her late engage- ment here ; we believe the sum was $4500. It was so stated by Hamblin himself. FasnionaBLE Movements.—Mr. Spencer, Secre- tary of War, left town yesterday morning, for Washington. His visit and letter have given great offence to the whigs. Mr. Webster is expected in this city on Sunday morning. If he could enter the metrepolis ona week day, we would give him a procession. On!—We understand that there is a project on foot to nominate Wm. McMurray for Congress in the sixth district, in order to create a vacancy in the assembly ticket tomake way for Mike Walsh. g- The “ correspondent” who offers us some ad- vice relative to one of our reporters, will please to mind his own business, as we mind ours. Loss or THE Isis.—This steam ship, one of the West India Mail line, was totally lost at sea on the 9thinst. ubout forty miles from Nassau, N. P. Herspecie, passengers, and crew, with the ex- ception of a small boy who was drowned, were ta- ken off by the Medway, another of the line. Mis- fortunes never come singly to this steam ship com- pany. aril aN ea Review of Books, &, Coorer’s Task, &c.—Carey §& Hart, Wiley & Putnam.—This is the most beautiful edition of Cowper’s poems that ever was published in this country. It has been got up ina style similar to the superb annuals published by Carey & Hart, and is illustrated with twelve admirable engravings. It is a most appropriate ornament for a parlor table. Common Scioor Aumanac.—Clement § Packard, 180 Pearl street.—This for its price, is the best al- manac published in the country. It is full of valua- ble statistics and useful information. Lonpon QuaRTERLY For Ocr.—Joseph Mason.— This number contains a most valuable and interest- ing article on Blucherand Wellington. Burnine or tur Ente—Dickinson, Boston.—A poor poem. Last Days or Pomren—Rixwzt.—Harpers’ Bro- thers. Loss or Sream Sup Norru America —We learn that this vessel with her furniture, cost about $70,000; there was insurance only to the amount of $15,000 at the Mutual Safety office, in this city. The cost of repairing the vessel will be $8000. The furniture will cost $1,500 to $2,000 more. Jamaica.—We have files of the Kingston Morft- ing Journal to the Ist of October. A great many robberies have been committed of late in Kingston. The Journal says: Midnight robberies are now committed on such a systematic principle as clearly demonstrates that if our black population have not improved in the other refinements of civilized life, they have in an wong al A degree advanced in the arts of vilainy. An earthquake shock was ex- perienced in St. Thomas in the East on the 2Ist ult. he Journal complains that trade is very dull, and business almost at a stand.—Phil. North Amer. . On10.— The returns are now all in, nearly all offi- cial, and Shannon’s majority over Corwin is 3,298. King’s vote in some 30 counties 1s 2,670. Sreamnoat Loss.—The Cincinnati papers confirm the accident to the steamboat Eliza ; Bat one ac- count states the lives lost as low as 20. Frour.—Upwards | of 15,000 barrels of wheat flour were inspected in Baltimore last week, Nmos.—The new pantomime of “ Ellen” conti- nues to advance in favor with the visitors to this distinguished place of amusement, and though the run of the ‘* Night Owl” has been unprecedented, it still continues popular; this is evinced by the laughter and applause that ever attend its represen- tation, T>-night the whole Ravel family appear in these two pantomimes— and the three brothers give their unique selection of classic groupings, called the Three Gladiators. The elegant Miss Wells and her clever brother appear also in the grand pas de deux trom La Sylphide. Cuatnam Tueatre.—This establishment still con- tinues to attract large audiences. It can be ac- counted for by the novelty which is nightly offered. To-night, we have “Eugene Aram,” “ Darnley,” the wonderful Great Western, and the original Master Diamond. w York Election, Wric Canpiwares. Democratic Canpiparss. For Governor.

Committed. §G@- The American Museum continues daily to be crowded to its utmost capacity. This afternoon, at three o'clock, an entirely new and splendid performance takes place. Mr. Brydges, a gentleman favorably known on the southern stage, appears in a characteristic, comic, colloquial performance ‘called “ Who wins, or a wife by advertisement,” in which he sust.ins a number of cha- racters. Master F Diamond, the extravaganza dancer, Morris, the comic singer, Celeste, Miss Wood, the vo calist, and Signor Vivaldi’s mechanical figures also per- form, making one of the best day entertainments ever offered there. In the evening, Dr. Valentine appears in conjuxction with a host of other novelties. {iG The New York Museum is undoubtedly the cheapest and best place of amusement in the city ; where else can the same quantity of attrac- tion be obtained for one’ shilling? Mr. Nellis, the wonder of the world, born without arms, will perform his wonderful feats; Mrs. Phillips, the much admired songstress, Mr. Collins, the comic. singer, Mr. Delarue, the mimic, Mr. Wright, the falsetto vocalist, Master Young, Wire Volante dancer, Museum Curiosities, &e. included.

BEFORE THE CLOSE OF THE FAIR OF the American Institute, we would call the attention of the ublic to Mr. Walter Hunt’s newly invented Fountain, ‘ickless Lamps and Burners, which in the gallery of the saloon at said fair, and which are de signed to burn camphine, oil, &c., without a wick, for all of the purposes, and in all of the various plain and orna- mental forms, of lamps and burners, in which artificial tht can be used. is plan is also peculiarly adapted to take the place of carburetted a ee or street &, it ers so arranged that any number of burners may be supplied from one ge- neral fountain, through small tubes, and managed with perfect safety from explosion, or obstruction from cold, or other causes, projucing a light as pure and brilliant as gas, at one half of ita expense in the censumption of ma- terial, and no more trouble in tending. For churches, halls, stores, factories, and public build- ings generally, this invention will be found of vast impor- tance, especially in populous towns were gas has not been introduced. Another important acquisition will be real- ised, by its introduction into light houses, where the same brilliant and unvarying light may be supplied through all seasons and temperatures, with no other care than the supply in of one feneral reservoir, and the lighting and i e burners. ext Orders for the: above articles will be promptly attended to, by George W. McCready, at the lamp warchouse, 507 Broalway, under Lafayette Hall, or ut the factory, 60 Gold street, New York. LAST DAY OF 1 HE GREAT FAIR OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE AT NIBLO’S.—This cele. bration will close this evening by a short address, award ol premiums, and a triumphant display of fireworks temple of uncommon magnitude, and appropriate devices, has been put up for this evening, by Mr Isaac Edge, Pyrotechnist, and member ef the Institute. ‘The ocession and the display deserves a visit from our whole city. The now exhibiting naval band from Brooklyn will be present, and will play during the evening.

Og, FACTS FOR THE PEOTLE—DR. RUSH’S Infallible health Pills have been used in private practice for more than forty years,and always with the most unfailing success The high character and great scientific attain- ments of Dr. Rush, are so well known, that it is needless to say a word in commendation of this popular medicine, the preperation of which cost him yenrs of careful study and long experience in the treatment of diseases.

Philadelphia {Correspondenee of the Herald.] Puitapetrnta, Oct. 25, 4 P.M. I wrote to you yesterday that the sherifl’s sale of real estate would take place to-night. I was in error, and should have said on Monday evening. These sales are nota very fair test of the value of property, because the incumbrances are not gene- rally known, to which the property is liable, but yet they serve as a general guide to the cash value of real properr, in this city. The sales of last even- ing were at very low prices, and show that capitalists are not yet disposed to invest funds in that way. Infact, scarce any thing is done in the actual sale for cash, of real estate ; there is much bartering and exchanging between mechan- ics and traders, but no money passes. This will probably remain so until next spring, as the season is late for building and the number of houses torent is large. For foreign investments the real estate of this city presents no inducement, The State debt, principal and interest must be paid, and the owzers of the soil will be heavily taxed. The Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, the South- wark, and Northern Liberties, are all about wooly ing to the Legislature for renewal of charters. 4 to the first named, there is probably no where to be found a more uneivil, arrogant, and disobliging set of people than those connected with it in vari- ous offices. Its Cashier, Mr. Patton, is now on trial in the Court of Commen Pleas, on the complaint of his wife—formerly his mistress— for a divorce from him. The parties have lived separated from each other for many years, each Fre} their own way. The testimo- ny i8 filthy to the last degree, Kir. P. being a de- cided amalgamationist, and it’is hard to say which of the twain are the worst. The case has been tried before ; and yet, with all this revelation of corrupt morals aoa them in the face, Mr. P. is continued cashier by the directors! Certain it is, that the feeling of dislike towards the bank is so caused chiefly by its officers and underli: that though in good condition, it is supposed fae neral feelin; is that it ought notto be extended. ‘The ‘Southwark Bank, it was generally thought, would close its concerns, as its capital is small allsafe. Of 4 the Northern Liberties, but little is known. Its affairs are in the hands ofa clique, and it dabbles a good deal in country paper. ‘ Money matters remain as yesterday, cash plenty, but no good paper in the market; this isa bad state of things for business, as it shows a want of action, and no general business activity. : Mr. Biddle has had Andalusia sold by the Sheriff, to make a title under a mortage, which it is sai his son holds, and which Biddle, Sen’r., can’t pay ! People at the street comers pull down their eyes, and request to be told if there is any dust there! Simultaneous with this, Mr. John White, President of the Delaware Coal Company, resigns, and his son John White, Jr., is elected. ‘The father,of course, remains ‘‘de facto” president, the son being de- ficient in sxuenanen for the berth, but our financiers manage all these matters in the family way. Francis J. Grund, of rejected fame, has been fur- nished with the office of weigh master in the Cus- tom House, in the place of a son of Gov. Schulze, removed. Mr. Smith, the present collector is a dex- terous politician; but how he 8 capital for his own confirmation by this move, is not easily seen- Mr. Buchanan was here feeling. He rather leans towards Calhoun, but gcloge himself in finding out what others think, and like Talleyrand, be- lieves “ God gave speech to disguise the thoughts.” Valley Forge did not meet the Messrs. Reeds last evening. In the Journal of this afternoon he states that the sickness of his relative who holds the do- cuments and will not part with them, 1s the cause of hisnon attendance. Doubtful. It is more than probable, from present appearances, that the whole affair is a mancuvre of ea and Whitney to gaina sale of their paper. This appears to be the general opinion. if I subjoin sales of stocks and bankrupt applications in which some of your readers may be interested. The day israiny, and all out-door business is dull.

Leggan & McMinn, on the south side of Carygstreet, and ex. tended to the brick row on the opposite side. Most of the buildings were insured, but not sufficiently to cover the entire loss. Texas anv Mexico.—We copy the annexed ar- ticle from tne New Orleans Advertiser, a paper which we presume to_be well informed touching the movements and views of our Executive Gov- ernment: 5 Tgxas anp Mexico.—By the Nachitoches Herald we learn that the mediation of the United States has been offered by this Government, in the hope of bringing about a reconciliation between Texas and Mexico. It apperrs that Mr. Webster, by instruction of the President, has addressed a letterto the A. Min- isterat Austin, enclosing a sony of instructions which had already been forwarded to Mr, Thompson at Mexico, directing him to express, in the name of the American Government, ‘ the hope that it may be deemed to comport with the interest of the Tex- ian Government to suspend any offensive military operation which may be in contemplation against the Mexican Republic until it should learn the re- sult of the negotiation which Mr. Thompson had been directed to undertake. a This, theerh not officially communicated, yet comes in such a shape that entitles it to credit. Mr. Webster is represented to say to the Mexican au- thorities, ‘that while his government sees with pain the prospect of active warlike preparations between Texas and Mexico, and disclaims all right to inter- fere, yet it cannot, under the circumstances, be in- different to a renewal of hostilities between them. The general and natural advantages of peace, the security of our commerce, the uncertainty of the is- sue of a war, the dissimilarito of the people, and the extent of territory of the two countries, are all urged as reasons to accept the proffered mediation. To these is added the intimation that, in case of war, American citizens will emigrate hence ond aid the ‘Texians, and that it is the President’s convictien that war is not only usetess but hopeless. A New Inpian Treaty.—The St. Louis Repub- lican states that a treaty has just been concluded between Governor Chambers, ot Iowa, Commis- sioner on the part of the United States, and the Sac and Fox nation of Indians, by which the Sacs and Foxes have sold to the Government all their coun- try between the Mississippi and Miesouri rivers, amounting to about twelve millions of acres. | The. Indians are, however, to, remain in possession of the western portion of their territory three years— the eastern pertion, including the country between the present boundary and the White Breast river on the Hes Moines, to be given upby the Ist May next. The Tnited States are to provide a home tor the Sacs and Foxes on the west side of the Missouri iver. The price paid for the land is about $1,050.- 000, of which ht hundred thousand dollars are to be invested for the Indians—the United States gua- rantying an annual interest of five per cent, The Republican adds, that the country ceded is rich, and beautiful, and that the treaty is regarded as; very favorable to the government, and no less so to the Indians — The lands will.cost about nine cents per acre.—Nat.
