# SUMMER MOVEMENTS, &c.
THE INDIANS. Officers of the army, lately returned from Florida represent, as the general impression there, that although the Indians have left the neighborhood of our encampments, they do not contemplate renewing hostilities. They are as averse to a removal as ever, and have taken advantage of the warm season, when active operations on our side cannot be carried or, to violate their engagements. It is expected that when the cold weather sets in, they will return, and suffer themselves to be transported to the West.
MR. ADAM'S ORATION AT NEWBURYPORT.
The Salem Register says:-
The Fourth of July Oration of Mr. Adams was quite interesting and forcible. He commented on the Declaration of Independence, the Union of the States, State Sovereignty, and the language of those who talked of calculating the value of the Union. On the subject of Slavery, he took the ground that there was no danger from the free and full discussion of the topic. The latter subject occupied most of the address.
TROUBLE BREWING. It is stated that there are fourteen thousand Squatters in the Iowa district, the part of Wisconsin west of the Mississippi. Government has sold no land there yet.
KITCHEN CABINET NO GO IN TENNESSEE.

THE GOOD CAUSE IN GEORGIA. The Augusta Chronicle of the 28th inst. says, that its letters from the interior give assurance that the prospect of the election of Mr. Gilmer, the State Righte Candidate for Governor, are of the most flattering character.
DEATH OF NATHANIEL MACON. The venerable and virtuous Macon, of North Carolina, is no more. Tbe Warrenton Reporter, of Saturday last, contains the following annunciation of his decease:--
"It is with feelings of deep regret we have to announce the death of the Hon. Nathaniel Macon; he departed this life at his residence in this county, on Thursday morning last, the 29th of June, in the 83d year of his age. Mr. Macon was a member of one or the other branches of Congress, without intermission, almost from the formation of the present Government down to the year 1829, when he voluntarily retired to private life, only to emerge from it subsequently, for a short period, to assist in the convention of his native State in revising its constitution. During the long term, and through all the exciting periods of his public life, though always a conspicuous and influential party man, no one, of any party, ever questioned his integrity or the purity of his motives, and he has descended to the tomb full of years and with universal respect."
GEN. HARRISON, who was appointed to deliver an Oration on the 4th, before the citizens of Cincinnatti, has declined, in consequence of having accepted an invitaton from the citizens of Miami county, to be present at the celebration on that day in Piqua.

The 6th reguiar toast at the great Democratic Whig Festival at Philadelphia, was:
General William Henry Harrison-The People of Pennsylvania exultingly point to him as their future leader in their second struggle for "virtue, liberty and independence."
The people throughout the United States are wide awake to the new plot now hatching by Van Buren, to establish a ROVAL TREASURY BANK.- Star.
The Hon. Geo. Monnell, of the supreme Court of Michigan, is arraigned before the Legislature of that State for malconduct in his office.
Shameful Speculation. The Post Office receipts are deposited in specie and drawn in specie. Amos Kendall sends on a friend with drafts-sells the specie for a premium of ten per cent. and buys Western money at a discount of ten per cent. and thus somebody coolly pockets twenty per cent. by the operation.
These robberies are getting to be open and barefaced. How long will the people countenance this shameful speculation on their pockets? - Star.
Rain. There has been rain-pouring rain, on this city and country, for the last three weeks, without only very short gleams of sunshine. Will the Globe assert that all this water has been "got up" (or brought down) by the New York merchants and brokers for the purpose of drowning the crops, and thus, by producing universal distress in the country, influence the elections? We can tell the Globe what the merchants are preparing to do, with the assistance of the sturdy yeomanry of the country "get up" a political earthquake that shall level this cracked and
