The Indians, it is supposed, have made for the Chippeway country, and will endeavor to cross the Mississippi, but far beyond any white settlements. General Atkinson, expecting, when he marched, to meet the enemy in a short time, had taken with him but a small quantity of provisions, in consequence of which he was obliged to halt and divide his forces at the lake above named. He himself with the regulars, some six hundred and fifty strong, remained at the lake; the militia, consisting of three brigades, under generals Posey, Dodge and Henry, and of about two thousand men, were ordered to march to fort Winnebago, on the Ouisconsin, where stores were hourly expected. It was the intention of the commanding general to consolidate his forces and renew the pursuit as soon as he had obtained sufficient stores.

Black Hawk will not expose himself and his band to the certain destruction that would follow from a general engagement; the late successes of the whites in skirmishes, and the number of scouting parties through the country will prevent the recurrence of the depredations and murders by small parties, which made the beginning of this contest so terrible and alarming.

We personally have the testimony of gentlemen whose opinions claim the highest respect, that it was quite as large as the vast meeting which had been literally drummed up some days before-and these gentlemen also say, that the appearance of the latter meeting was, at least, as respectable as the former; adding that great credit was due to the naturalized citizens, because they paid no sort of attention to a small gang of their own countrymen, (40 or 50 persons), who had evidently been congregated and arranged to disturb the proceedings, by senseless bawlings, at they knew not what.

He pursued a trail, and about 40 miles from Fort Winnebago came up with the retreating enemy late in the evening, and brought them to battle-but night coming on, they escaped, leaving 16 killed on the ground, and probably others not found. Gen. D. had one man killed and 4 wounded. It was thought the Indians had lost 40 warriors. The letter proceeds to say-"Gen. Dodge was to start early that morning, (Sunday) in pursuit, and had no doubt of overtaking them in the course of the day. The object is to cross the Wisconsin, at what is called the Ford, and go down on the right bank to the Mississippi. The force of "gen.

In pursuance of the call published last week, signed by upwards of two thousand Irish naturalized citizens, seceders from Jacksonism, a numerous meeting of that portion of our population took place yesterday in Independence Square. Many thousands attended. The meeting was organized by placing James Gowen in the chair, and by appointing Samuel Black, Dennis Sweeny, Thomas Laird, John Maguire and William Faris vice presidents. Dr. James McHenry and William W. Haly were appointed secretsries. The business of the meeting was opened by the chairman stating its objects, and commenting on the circumstances which occasioned its call. He was followed by Mr. Haly, who concluded his address by moving the following preambles and resolutions, which were carried by acclamation. evils of misgovernment, and bitterly felt its oppressions, and Whereas, having experienced in our native land the many having thus been led to examine the sources from which these evils flowed, we found them in the combination of those entrusted with public stations, to keep the power and emoluments of office in their own hands; employing for that purpose, the patronage and the money entrusted to them for the public service, to purchase adherents and to punish opponents; using military displays to cajole the idle and the thoughtless, and to intimidate the reflecting and the patriotic; and, at the same time, neglecting the duties of their offices, and disregarding the public business and the public welfare: witnessed with regret and indignation the daring and repeated And whereas this meeting, instructed by experience, have attempts of the present administration of the general government and its officers, by similar arts and combinations, to pervert the institutions of this happy country, so as to control the free expression of opinion, and, under color of republican forms, by the seduction of rewards given to political friends, and the terror of punishments inflicted on political opponents-or, as a member from New York unblushingly avowed, on the floor of the senate of the United States, by "distributing the spoils," to establish a system of corruption, of fraud and force, such as has every where characterised a despotism: is without precedent any where, except in the construction given by king George the third, to his coronation oath, to countenance him in a determination madly to persist, against all right and reason, to keep six millions of Irishmen in a state of disfranchisement and subjection, because they did not agree with him in their religious opinions; and we cannot regard the attempt by the president, to set his own will above the judgment of all the other constitutional tribunals, above the acts of the people's representatives, and above the clearly and repeatedly expressed opinions of the people themselves, as a most daring and dangerous attack upon our constitutional rights and freedom. And whereas, among the public evidences of this corrupt system, and of the influence it has already exerted among us, we would bring to recollection the letter of the relation and private Whereas, during the last war, and for sometime after the secretary of the president of the United States, addressed to a peace, the United States labored under the heavy oppression of member of the Pennsylvania general assembly, praying his in- a circulating medium wholly of paper;--from one thousand dolfluence to have Andrew Jackson re-nominated, by the members lar notes to six cent notes, all our currency was paper, gold and of the Pennsylvania legislature, as a candidate for re-election as silver were not seen, or seen only by the wealthy and the miserpresident of the United States; which electioneering letter was ly, by whom they were hoarded-all the means which the poor actually franked by Andrew Jackson himself:-we would also obtained for their labor, to purchase the necessaries and conadvert to the letter of the fourth auditor of the treasury, of the veniences of life were paper; individuals issued notes, banks 23d of April, 1832, believed to be a circular, announcing the plan issued notes, and the notes of both banks and individuals beof the executive, by means of its power and patronage, to or- came worthless in the hands of the holders:ganize the newspaper press so as to influence "all elections" And whereas, to give the people "a uniform and sound cur"in every neighborhood in the union;"-we would also bring to rency," congress established the bank of the United States, recollection, as being in the same spirit, and emanating from the which accomplished for the people and the government, all that officers of the same treasury, the recent direct and unprecedent- was expected by its most sanguine friends:--It paid gold and ed interference of the custom house officers in Philadelphia, in silver for all its notes, great and small, and enabled all the other calling a meeting to approve of their patron's acts, and endeavor banks to do the same.

Wherefore for these and many other reasons And whereas, the legislature of Pennsylvania, at its session in June last, unanimously recommended "the re-chartering of the bank of the United States as of vital importance to the public majorities in both houses, and so wholly unexpected was the veto of the president, that, just before it was sent to congress, a numerous meeting of the partizens of Andrew Jackson, citizens of Pennsylvania, assembled at Williamsport, from eighteen counties, and after declaring their undiminished confidence "in the sylvania," they "resolved that the rumors in circulation of the intention of the president to put his veto upon the bill for rechartering the United States bank, they deemed slanderous; intended to subserve electioneering purposes: and that the course of the president would conform to the almost unanimous wishes of Pennsylvania, and to the interests of the union, when that bill should be presented to him for his sanction." And whereas, notwithstanding all these facts and representations, Andrew Jackson did "in the hour of trial" desert the vital interests of Pennsylvania, and did "put his veto upon the bill for re-chartering the United States bank," and did prevent it from becoming a law: institution of such incalculable importance to the agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interest of the United States, far desert the interests of Pennsylvania, nor so far sacrifice their And whereas, this meeting cannot "in the hour of trial" so principles at the altar of man-worship, as to give their votes in Resolved, That we have no confidence in the present admi-favor of any individual who has thus declared war against an nistration of the general government, and that we will embrace all proper occasions to do justice to our principles, opinions and feelings, by declaring that we cannot, consistently, and that we will not, vote for any one, as an elector of president of the U.

States. wherefore fair and honorable means in our power to prevent the re-election Resolved, That we, and each of us, pledge ourselves to use all of Andrew Jackson as president of the United States. And whereas, the pure and patriotic, the talented and enlightened author of the Declaration of Independence, deeply impressed with these truths, having just taken the oath of office, as president of the United States, and about to make known the funadministration of the government, made this his first declaration, that he would faithfully dispense "equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political," nation or people.

And whereas, when the Supreme Being delivered the law for his chosen people to his servant Moses, he said, "one law and one manner shall ye have for you and for the stranger that sojourneth with you;" and again, "one law shall be to him that is homeborn and unto a stranger that sojourneth among you:" and whereas these great and sacred principles were, in the opinion of this meeting, set at nought and trampled upon when the pre Resolved, That the total disregard of his solemn pledge to serve but one term, as president of the United States, and of his re-sent chief magistrate of these United States, for no other cause peated promises not to appoint members of congress, nor to be lavish in the expenditure of the public moneys, have so entirely shaken all confidence in the truth of bis declarations, that we feel fully warranted not only in refusing credence to his most elear and unequivocal declaration, but are called upon to look with a weary and a jealous eye, upon his ambidextrous declarations in relation to subjects such as the tariff and the bank, which vitally affect the independence and interests of the United States.

If I were a determined enemy to the bank, and yet a friend to my country, I could not support gen. Jackson's reelection, after his avowal of such sentiments. If they be carried into practice, they will subvert the foundations of this government. I do not take this course because I have enmity to gen. Jackson, but because I have a superior patriotic love for my country, which has adopted me, as it has the Irishmen who are to compose your meeting. I wish gen. Jackson well, he is aged and feeble, and too much dependent on others, to be at the head of this nation. Finally, gentlemen, let me recommend moderation with firmness; let our patriotism be distinguished with prudence. Thus shall we best contribute to bring back our adopted country to the sound constitutional principles of genuine American policy -the protection of home industry-the independence of our judicial system, and the equal bearing of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our government, all which I conceive to have been either abondoned or infracted. I am gentlemen very respectfully yours, ALEXANDER COOK. "The future pages of history will paint them in their true colors. Called on to conduct the affairs of a great nation-to administer the pure principles of equal justice to all its inhabitants by the well arranged rule prescribed by a written constitution➡ to preserve that inestimable blessing of rational liberty transmitted to them by a noble ancestry, who had valiantly fought and bled for the prize-they have turned aside from the performance of those sacred duties, and entered into the views, and promothold their own peculiar interests as of greater and paramount consideration than the peace and tranquility of the country, the value of the union, or the immutable principle of justice. In vain we have endeavored to arrest their lawless course. Petition-remonstrance-argument-nay more, supplication, not for ourselves alone, but for the honor and welfare of our common country-for their own characters-for the cause of constitutional liberty-for the freedom of man from unjust restraints— for the honor of human nature-for the love of peace-all—all have been again and again urged in the most ardent, patriotic and eloquent strains that ever fell from the lips of man. But all have been urged in vain. Yes, fellow citizens, your hope, your long deferred hope, that a returning sense of justice would relieve you from the unjust taxation of this reckless inajority, is at an end--a gloom overspreads your political horizon; but it is not the gloom of despair. That is the last gloom which obscures the patriot's vision. The truth is immutable, that in every organized government there is a remedy for every wrong, whether inflicted by an individual, or by the constituted authorities of the country. Resolved, That our secretaries are instructed to communicate with Mr. Alexander Cook, for the purpose of acknowledging the receipt of his patriotic letter of the 2d inst. and of assuring him that we heartily respond to the excellent sentiments it contains;-WILL YOU SUBMIT to the unjust oppression and unconthat we respect him for the fearless manner in which, at that particular juncture, he has expressed them; and that we will, by all proper means, co-operate with him in the determination to which he has come, to oppose the re-election of Andrew Jack son, whose political course has occasioned to us all the same "disappointment and mortification" he has experienced. Several gentlemen intended to have addressed the meeting, but on account of the extreme heat of the weather, the pressure of the immense crowd, and the peculiarly unhealthy state of the city, it was thought advisable to adjourn as soon as the main business, the passing of the various resolutions, was accomplished. The meeting was, in consequence, deprived of the enjoyment which it would no doubt have experienced from the addresses thus necessarily suppressed. It is, indeed, one of the best proofs that could be given of the ardent devotion of the Irish in this quarter of the cause in which they had embarked, that under the various unfavorable circumstances just mentioned, they should have congregated in one of the largest political assemblages ever witnessed among us. JAMES GOWEN, chairman. JAMES MCHENRY, W. W. HALY, Philadelphia, Aug. 7th, 1832. secretaries. LEXINGTON MEETING. From the Observer. In pursuance of a call, signed by forty-seven individuals of Lexington and Fayette county, who voted for general Jackson at the last presidential election, a large and highly respectable meeting of the people, convened at the court house in Lexington on Friday the 27th of July. On motion of M. C. Johnson esq. Mr. John Henry was appointed chairman, and George W. Laudeman, secretary. Thanks to the wisdom and forecast of our fathers, we have the remedy for this wrong. The question is now distinctly put stitutional taxation of a reckless majority in congress, OR APPLY THE REMEDY provided by the wisdom of your ancestors? Who can hesitate? none but the oppressors, or those who partake of the spoil. To us the choice is SLAVERY OR FREEDOM. Disguise it as you may, if we acquiesce, we shall be reduced to a state of utter ruin and degredation. The profits of our labor will be torn from us in violation of the most sacred principles of the constitution, as well as of common right and common justice, to enrich other more favored interests. If we submit to such injustice, we shall become the scoff and byeword, not only of our oppressors, but of the world. Every principle of justice and of right-all the sacred guards which the constitution has thrown around us, are violated in this last act. It is established as the settled and authorised policy of the government, as avowed by its supporters. The principle of protection is not only preserved, but extended. The burthens of the agricultural states have been increased, while those of the manufacturing states have been lightened--and, as if to mock at your complaints, you are told that relief has been afforded to you by a reduction of the taxes; a reduction which consists in taking off the duties from the unprotected articles, consumed chiefly at the north, and throwing the whole burthen of the support of the government on the protected articles, chiefly received in exchange for southern productions. This is surely adding insult to injury. What then remains to be done? Turn from those misguided rulers, and rely on yourselves and on your God! Resort to that principle of self-protection which He implanted in the breast of man, and which has been incorporated into all the laws and compacts by which we have consented to be governed. Therefore Resolved, That the act passed at the last session of congress entitled "an act to alter and amend the several acts imposing duties on imports," inasmuch as it recognizes the principle of protection, and imposes unequal and oppressive taxes, not called for by any public urgency, but for the sole and exclusive benefit of a favored class, is a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of power not granted by the constitution, and therefore re operation of the said act within the limits of South Carolina, and for maintaining within the same the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to our state, and that we will henceforth use all the means in our power, (as speedily as the forms of our government will permit), to nullify or arrest the operation of the same within our limits, as a violation of our dearest rights. Mr. Johnson then offered the following resolutions which were read, and after an able and eloquent speech from Charlton Hunt, esq. were unanimously adopted by the meeting. Resolved, That in the administration of general Andrew Jack-have a right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the son we find many causes of disappointment; that the principles which induced our support, are deserted; the pledges on which we confidently relied are unredeemed; our hopes of promoting the welfare of our country, by his election, are unfulfilled, and that his longer continuance in office, would be dangerous to the best interests of our country. Therefore, Resolved, That by our best and most unremitting efforts, we Resolved, That our thanks are due, and are hereby tendered, will endeavor to defeat the re-election of general Andrew Jack-to the talented and patriotic exertions of our faithful represen tatives Robert Y. Hayne, S. D. Miller, George McDuffie, Warren | all lawful means, to cause to be prosecuted and punished, all R. Davis, John M. Felder, John K. Griffin W. T. Nuckolls, and Robert W. Barnwell, assuring them of our entire approbation of their conduct, and our hearty concurrence in the able and unanswerable arguments which they have made in support of our rights, of the constitution of the United States; and above all, for their judicious and firm conduct in voting against this last and most fraudulent act. Resolved, That being firmly persuaded that the only means by which the peace and tranquility of the country-the liberty of the people and the union of these once happy states can be preserved, is by a strict adherence to the constitution and all its positive provisions-we do hereby most earnestly invoke the cooperation of all our fellow citizens in this last struggle for its preservation, and recommend as the most efficient means of accomplishing this object, a call of a convention of the people of the state, hereby pledging ourselves to support for the ensuing legislature, such persons only as shall be in favor of a convention, adopting as our principle that he who is afraid to submit this great question to the people of the state, is an enemy to the people's rights. Resolved, That while we deprecate a resort to violence, on the part of the general government, as opposed to the constitution of the United States, and all the recognized principles of our government, and treat it as a phantom, conjured up by avarice and ambition, to alarm the timid, and render them subservient to their purposes, we shall be ready to meet any consequences, in preference to a base submission to the exercise of unconstitutional and arbitrary power. Resolved, That we hail with sincere pleasure and gratification the magnanimous course of our fellow citizens of St. John's, Colleton, and those of many other parts of the state, who actuated by a pure love of country, were always opposed to the unconstitutional action of congress, but doubted as to the remedy, and have now determined to co-operate with us in this last struggle for the preservation of the constitution of the United States, and that we recommend them as examples worthy of imitation. The foregoing reports and resolutions were not only adopted without a dissenting voice, but amidst the repeated and enthusiastic cheers of the assemblage, who frequently interupted the chairman by their plaudits during the reading of that docu ment. NULLIFICATION! We offer some excerpts for the edification of the South Carolina nullifiers. [Nat. Gaz. From president Washington's proclamation, (of 1794), against the insurgents in the western counties of Pennsylvania. "And whereas the endeavors of the legislature to obviate objections to the excise laws, by lowering the duties, and by other alterations conducive to the convenience of those whom they immediately affect, (though they have given satisfaction in other quarters), and the endeavors of the executive officers to conciliate a compliance with the laws, by explanations, by forbearance, and even by particular accommodations founded on the suggestion of local considerations, have been disappointed of their effect by the machinations of persons whose industry to excite resistance has increased with every appearance of a disposition among the people to relax in their opposition and to acquiesce in the laws," &c. From the proclamation of gov. Mifflin*, of Pennsylvania, on the same subject. persons whomsoever, that have engaged or shall engage in any of the unlawful combinations or proceedings aforesaid. And further declaring, that whatever requisition the president of the United States shall nake, or whatever duty he shall impose in pursuance of his constitutional and legal powers, for the purpose of maintaining the authority, and executing the laws of the United States-will, on my part, be promptly undertaken and faithfully discharged. "And whereas every good and enlightened citizen must perceive how unworthy it is to oppose the constitution and laws of our country, (the government and laws of the state being herein as much affected as the government and laws of the U. States), which were formed by the deliberate will of the people, and which, by the same legitimate authority, can, in a regular course be peaceably amended or altered: how incompatible it is with the principles of a republican government, and dangerous in point of precedent, that a minority should attempt to control the majority, or a part of the community undertake to prescribe to the whole: how indispensable, though painful an obligation is imposed upon the officers of government to employ the public force for the purpose of subduing and punishing such unwarrantable proceedings, when the judiciary authority has proved incompetent to the task. And how necessary it is, that the deluded rioters aforesaid should forthwith be brought to a just sense of their duty, as a long deviation from it must inevitably be destructive of their own happiness as well as injurious to the reputation and prosperity of their country. And whereas, entertaining a just sense of my federal obligations, and feeling a perfect conviction of the necessity of pursuing immediate measures to suppress the spirit of insurrection, which has appeared as aforesaid, and to restore tranquility and order, I have here tofore given instructions to the proper officers of the commonwealth, to investigate the circumstances of the said riots, and to institute the regular process of the law for bringing the offenders to justice. Now therefore, I have deemed it expedient, also to issue this proclamation, hereby publicly announcing my determination, by *Gov.
