I speak only ol he leadtrs who,by charges and insinua tions iluy knew to be unfounded, such as the giving of two millions or dollars to Bonaparte, the Embargo being the effect of French influence, Mr. J- fTer- son and Mr. Madison being Frenchmen, and an hundred other tales equally un true, imposed ujon thousands of the honest and well meaning of A parties. And yet these gentlemen, in order to vjain your good opinion and procure your suffrages, tell you, that it was in the school of .WASHINGTON they stu- iicd and learned their principles. If this be true, their conduct certainly proves that in practice, they have most sh me- ully disregarded and gone astray from hr lesns which that most excellent man, who is deservedly termed the po- itical saviour of his country, by his ex ample as well as precepts taught them. I' thews that in politics as in religion, it is impossible to form a correct opinion of the mar., by his creed or professions. Hire, Fellow-Citizens, I would close his address, but that I am informed a report, utterly unfounded in truth, is in circulation, which charges me with ha ving declared, that if am elected, I will advocate the impong of ano'Jier Em birgo. It is, perhaps, the more neces sary I should contradict it, as what I lave herein before said in vindication ol the former one wouldotherwisebe seized upon by my political adversaries, as evi dence of the truth of the report. Till the 4th of March next, it will be the duly of the gen'Ieman who now represents us, not mine, if elected to aid in devising and procuring the adop'ion of measures to meliorate our situation. What plan he will recommend, I know not My only wish is, hat he may be so form nate as to devise one that shall ensure you as good a price for your crops a you got even during the Embargo, and keep us clear of War. I can only say, to myself, that I should not recom mend an Embargo. As a coercive mea sure, it must fail in its effects within ar.y reasonable time, as the shock which the former one gave the British natio will, no dMibt, pr mpt them to piovide und keep on hand a sufficiency of tar, pit h and urp. mine, as well as other indispentible articles, for which they are dependant on us, to last them for years. As a precautionary measure, It must come too late, the hostile edicts of the belligerents being unrevoked, and our citizens and property already afloat, if these edicts shall be enforced," must pro duce an effect that will render an em embargo unnecessary. But should a majority of you, Fellow Citizens, think proper again to confid : your interesting and important national concerns to my charge, without partiali ties for any foreign nation, and devoid of that rancorous puny spirit which makes men censure indiscriminately all the measures proposed by others, with out pfoposmg.any of their own wtih a disposition to conciliate rather than ir ritate those with whom I shall be called to act taking the Constitution for my guide, and the public g od s ray on y obje t you may rest assured, tht no exertion, on my part shall be spared, to ensure : a discharge of the highly re sponsible trust, in that manner, which, according to the best of my judgment, shall promise to be most for your In terest. With unfeigned respect, I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient strvant,. , VM. BLACKLEDGfc. JYnebcrn, July 12A, 1810 Ymcennet, (I. T.) June 23. THE SHAWANOE PROPHET. The Editor, thinking thut he could not present any thing more acceptable to his readtrs than a particular account of the causes ot the alarm which has x istcd hcrr for some days past, waited on Governor Harrieon, for the purpose of procuring inform .iori, and was favor ed with the following Since early in May, he Governor has been possessed of information, commu- nirated by Indian trad rs and friendly Indians, that the Shawanoe Prophet was again exciting the mbes ot the Wabash to war against the United Spates ; and indeed, that it was ur"jally agreed upon by all the tribes west of that river. This itiiqi mauuii was commuiucaieu 10 me Government, and was the cause ol the detachment of troops being sent here which we mention- d in our last. Eatiy in May, also, the interpreter maintained by the government amongst the Dehi wares arrived here to inform the Go vernor that that tribe had heard of the hostile movements of the Prophet, and had determined to send a solctrtn em bassy to the tribes wetof the Wabash to wain them of the danger of listening to the advice of the Prophet. The G'-vrrnor did every thing in his power to strengthen them in this resolution, and composed a speech for them to de liver to the other tribrs. This, it ap pears, was faithfully delivered, and it is more than piobablciha; by me influence of the Delawares and the impression made, by them on the minds of the other Indians, the war has been iVerted, Fr:m the 10th to the 13th inst. the Governor was informed, thro various channels, that the Indians were collect ing in very great numbers about the Prophet that the Miamies had oeen so u.timidated as to agree to attend hgs council that the Wyandots had come into hi schemes and they had agreed wnh him that everything thathad been done be' wireti the White People and In dians, since the t eaty of Greenville, was void and good f r nothing, and that they were determined to stop the progress ol the Wh te settlements. About the yth or 10th inst. an Indiac came to M . Dubois (a French gentle man who lives about a mile above this town) in the dead of night, and told him j that his friendship for him had induced h m to come for the purpose of advising him by ail means to remove over "tht Mississippi with his family, as he might shortly expect trouble,, if he remained where he w .s. The old Piankashaw Cnief, iirohUy came also to the Governor and asked his permissioo to retire ove the Mississippi, observing, that h- hud heard nothing from the Indians above, but thi cry of war ; that he was old and and did not wish to engage in it ; that he wished to retire to a place of safety. The next day he informed the Govern or that a particular plan had been hid by the Prophet for ihe surprise of thi own, and toid him whit the plan ws: About the same time also, a boat, which had been sent up the Wabash with the annuity salt for the Indians, returned The master informed ih: Governor that the Prophet and the Kickapoo tribe rud refused to receive the eight barrels of salt destined for ihem. and that the Pro phet's brother had insul ed him in the grossest manner (the Prophet being present) shakjng him violently by the hair, as well as some other of his crew, asking them if they were Americans (They were all young Frenchmen.) Mr. Brouillet, a trader, who was sus pected of being in the employment of Government, was also insulted, made to deny th ?t he? was an American, and bis house immediately plundered of his pro visions artdther articles. The Proputt sent word tox the Governor, ; " Thar his people should not come any nearer to him that they should not settle on the Vermillion River he smelt them too strong aire dy." " V The Governor, being loth to create any alarm until there should appear an ibsolute necessity for it, 'from -the great injury it might produceiby stoppii g th emigration to the country, and perhaps driving off frontier settlers, had not hi therto made public any part of the ih- iormation ne naa received ; Duias ine danger appeared to him to be extrVnfely threa'eriing on the 1 8th inst. be assem bled 17 or 18 of the leading citizens Viz. the Secretary f the Territory, a Judge of the Supreme Court,, the Representa tives of the county of Knox, the Regis ter of the. Land Office, County OfTirers, Merchants, .Sec. arid, having laid before them the information which he had fe ctived, requested theit advice upon the subject of taking measures- for putting the country in a state of :"defe nee 7 ThisAvas uuanimbusly'ad vised, as we'll as the immediate ordering of two"cotn p ies of Militia into actual service - VVhilst these measures were progress ing, a principal Putavra imie Chiefarri- ved, being sent by the representatives of 1 5 villages west of the Wabash, tp in- f .rm 'he Governor that they had aban doned the Prophet, and had thrown a way the tomahawk which he had put in to their, hands. This revolution in their minds was produced by the forcible re presentation of the Delaware Deputies ibove mentioned, to a.-council which had assembled the latter end of May, somewhere in the 'neighborhood of bt. Josephs, on Lake Michigan. The Governor assures the Editor of the Western Sun, that the Chief who brought the above information is en tirely robe depended on, his fidelity to the United States and personal friend ship for him having been manifested in every transaction with the Indians since the treaty of Greenville. Two young Frenchmen arrived from Fort Wayne last night. ' As they pas sed the town of th Prophet, they were desired by Mr. Brouillet jo inform the Oivernor, that every thing appeared to be quiet above the Prophet's town, but that another council was shortly to be held There are not more than400war- riors at the village where the Prophet resides, and the Governor thinks that the whole number which still atlhere 10 him does not exceed twice that num ber. Notwithstanding the above favor able appearances, we understand that the Governor wdl not countermand the' order for turning out the militia, until he discovers what measures will be ta ken by the Prophet on the defection of his followers.
