sier we learn that the inhabitants of San

'tack by the Comanche Indians. In con
sequence of-this, requisi•ions have been
made throughout the Country by Gen.
Rusk, and every arrangement made to re
pel them. The tribe numbers 10.000
fighting men but are so short of provisions
that they cannot concentrate in any - great
numbers.
The Lorette indict - Mi.—We were pre
sent at Quebec, at the time when the
death of William the Fourth was announc
ed and the recognition of Queen Victoria
took place. The Sunday succeeding we
visited Lorene, well known is the princi
pal village of the Canadian Hurons. The
Council Chief, whose name has escaped
our recollection, a venerable man in ap
pearance, although wanting that dignity
of mien which generally characterizes the
Indian, had visited England, on a visit to
George the Fourth after his accession to
the throne. He cherished his recollection,
secondary only to that of Edmund Kean,
the tragedian, who, it wilLhe remembered
was made a chief of that tribe. The old
chief was sufficiently reconciled to the do
minion of the Admiral King, hilt could not
join the general congratulations in favor of
Victoria, having all the antipathy of his
nation against being governed by a wo
man. This circumstance was recalled to
recollection by the following •circumstance
related in ono of our exchange papers.
'The Indians seem to have very little
respect for the "divinity which doth hedge
eibout a"—Queen. - In a talk which some
Illritish officers lately had with them for
want of "Great Father," they Were Ali•
led to tell them of their Great Mother" at
very mentionve of which name they con
emptuously cried "umph—squaw !" '
Jackson's opiskon of Van Buren.—We
quote the following from the Delaware
State Journal:
"A letter from Washington to a gentle
6tan in Laticanster
. details a conversation
Meld with Gen. Jackson at the hermitage,
and among other remarks the General Zb
perved, That if Mr. - Van Buren should
lose New York, he had better not again
meet Congress, but return to Kinderhook.
lie added, that Van Buren did not possess
the confidence or respect of the leading
men of his party—that the sphere of action
;vi as quite too extensive, and involved diffi
tilties that he was unequal to—that he
r could manage a county, a district, but not
;a great country. tie- said that Mr. Van
;Boren could not, of himself, have ascended
the Presidential chair, and consequently,
that he cannot be re-elected. as he (the
General) should never again interfere with
the affairs of government.' "
THE 'DIFFICULTY AT HARRISBURG IN A
The loco members for the Senate and House of
Representatives undoubtedly received a majority of
votes in all the wards and districts in the County of
ltheadelphiat---but Tory Ingersol did not receive utma
jority of votes for 'Congress over Charles Naylor in
the-Third Congressional District. TorOngersol and
that tool of the (;eneral Government. and traitor, file-
Cohen, attempted to commit a fraud upon the people
by- procuring persons to swear that the tally-papers
were lost in one of the Van B tren wards in the North•
ern Liberties, and the election held illegal in the other,
consequently the votes polled in these two wards
could not be received. On this ground the locos
threw out the votes in the whole seven words, and
gave the return to Tory IngersoL The whits very
foolishly believed that the locos swore to-the truth,
and threw out the votes iii the two wards only where
the locos proved the election was held illegaLand re
ceived the votes in all the other wards and districts.
This gave the Whig Senators and Representatives in
the County a majority, and Charles Naylor an increas
ed Majority. and they were returned by the' Whig
judges according to law. The locos finding that their
villainy] had recoiled onthemselves, in their rage dol
