the true friends of this Union, those tvh

0 a dors, No one can doubt but that they hav
already done much to weaken the bonci
of tho Union, by estranging the aOoctioi
of one portion from the other. To met
thnm in their own conventicles. and to ck
yise the proper means of arresting the
further progress, has been otrr earnest ca
;for years. Wo felt assured that the on!
olfec.tnal resisfctue to their mad scheme
must be mad; by tlie non-sJaveholdin
States themselves. This is the only court,
tliat can be adopted in order to prever
the necessity, on the part of the slavehold
ing States, of resorting to such measure
of security as would, in themselves, ten
.much to widen the breach between tli
sections. We are pleased to see some it
dications that the intelligent and reilectin
of the five States arc about to adopt thes
views, and to act upon them. It is im
portant that the southern States should b
saved from the necessity of adopting jne'n

u ! Whereas the subject of abolition has he-,

! is deemed of so much importance as to
u mal.o a public expression ot opinion both

k. j Kesolve-.I, That Pennsylvania is not res.;
ii- ponsiblc for the existence of slavery ill the ;

t. The commercial disasters which for a
, week or two past have cast a gloom over
if the business transactions of our city, are 1
c thought now to be at an end, and before
t IO nnlu.miln/! llmt fllin'T will
M'Uij II to lUHtVij'UlWI UiUh V ? /! ? .r tit ,
j glide along as smoothly and Harmoniously
as at any former period.
Although considerable excitement was '
-- ! produced by the recent embarrassments, t
'! and enough was said to produce an imprcs- i
t, sioa abroad that half our city was in a failing
condition, the number of failures was ,
cj comparatively small, and perhaps not more :
... than a dozen in nil have actually been com)i
' *
n ' polled to suspend kpayment.
|C i In no case, we believe, can the misfortune 1
|e ! be attributed to any other cause than a neg- j
[r ; lect on the part of the deu'ors of the various j
^ j parties to comply with their engagements j
c 1 .Mismanagement or fraudulent dealing have
j ; in no instance occurred, and trie sufferers j
c ; have the consolation to know that the svm- j
i pathies of tlte public are on their side, j
_ i Their only offence was in endeavouring to
j i do too much for the accommodation of their '
? j friends and customers. They all accepted :
' largely in anticipation of returns of eolton ;
j and produce against the time their aceep-;
0 1 lances fell due, and upon the failure of the j
n planters and others to fulfil their obligations,;
e a general disappointment was tne co sequ- j
! once ; and the merchants, with whom punc^
; tuality is one ol*the indispensable requisites ;
,l ! were of course the lirst to be affected and j
: involved in difficulty.
When tbc failures were first made known,
l .
j it was presumed they would exercise a
1 marked influence upon the whole transac.
7. | tions and that prices of every kind would ,
I rapidly depreciate. Speculations were sup-;
! posed to he at an end and general distrecs ;
j was apprehended. It begins now to bepcr- j
i eeived however, that so far fiom these rej
sul.s following, ourciiy will become more |
c prosperous than ever, and actual advantage

To the Editor:?
Dear Sir : An express arrived a few moments
ago from GenJesup, who states that
Micanopy in conformity with the treaty, came j
-* ? " ] c .
m on tnc lotn. ui course you Know ueiuru
this, that he is to bo retained as a hostage
until the whole tribe is removed. On the 18th
a talk was held between the officers and Sem- ;
inole Chiefs. In the course of tho conversa- t
tion, Alligator said that if the Army had gone
a little further than Lake Topopoplialiga, they
would have taken what they considered as
cattle?that the l'-2 hundred Gen. Jesup had
already taken were no more to these than cow
hides. However, what these red skins say, j
is not to be depended upon. Asso Ya Ilola or '
Powell, has not yet whown his tace. Some of,
his present tribe, the Micasukies have. I have
been told by one of the officers, that Powell !
has recently been elected Chief of this tribe, j
the two former chiefs having been acknowl-i
edged to have been killed, in Col. Pierced !
battle at Fort Drane. This intelligence is received
here by two Creek Indians, who start- i
cd lom fort uaur, on me eutn inst. at y a.
M. Tigertail, with his squad of 112 jnen, wo- ;
lucn and children, had gone for Tampa Bay.
The tenor of the information received "last
week, led us to suppose that Micanopy had
cotne in. lie had not on the 15th The lfith j
was the day fixed for that purpose. Micanopy!
is the head chief, and until lie surrenders him- '
s?lf, we cannot in our opinion, count with cor- :
tainty en peace. For what reliance can we j
place on their "talks" what, on their treaties ?
What faith can wo have in their marks set upon paper?
Inourla??twe said "War at an end, ;
and grounded the assertion on the inl'ormatk 11
given us that all the chiefs but Oseola had
come in." We'still hope to hear most favora-;
ble news from the Army, and expect it by the I
next express. The construction of military
works at Black Creek, for a time suspended in j
consequence of the belief of the war being !
over, has been resumed, and other prepara- j
