THE WHITE WOMILN. (F 13.031 AN . AMERICAN TA.P.ER...) The folhiwing‘ is an extract from an account of a mission among thnSenecas and Munsees, performed in 1820,• by the' Rev, Timothy Alden, President of Allegheny College, addr2ss.: , ed to the Rev. Abiel Homes, D.D. of Massachusetts, Secretary of the Society for propagating the Gospel among the Indians and others of North Anietica. It is communicated to us fur publication, on the supposition that being. published here, it may - reach some •of the connections of the White Wo man, whop tould be much gratified to hear of the exist ence of " aged and estimable Mary Jamieson:" We pub lish it as a sketch of -a scene, many the like of which have oc curred in this country since its first settlement, but .without cal chlating much on its grateful effect on the surviving friends of this MCI feniale.(National Intelligencer.) " On Friday, the Istn of September, we called upon Mary Jamieson, at Gauhdaon, known far and near by the name of the White Woman. She lives in a comfortable Indian style, on one of the fertile bottoms of the Genesee, flanked by high, abrupt, and romantic banks. Her habitation is near the place where, about three years ago, 1.5 acres of land slid, in the night, from the side of a lofty and steep hill, with a flight - Rd noise, carrying trees and rocks into the bed of the rivet, to the amaz ing terror of the few aboriginal families in the vicinity. I could have no opportunity to collect an assembly at Gauhdaou, of which I had been duly apprized; yet it seemed a duty to travel six miles out of our' course to have an interview with the aged white woman. I found her able to converse intelligibly in En. glish, but sheaving, at first, that reserve which is a common trait in the character of the Senecas. She, however, at length, becanie- • agreeably communicative, and gave a • history of her life, which is so interesting, that I shall be excused in stating a fere of its prominent ineidehts. lam more inclined to do this, thinking that this statement may reach some of her relatives, who have probably no knowled g e of h er p as t di s t ress i n g . tr i a ! t, nor even ofher ejqstence.• • • • " She was born at Marsh Creek, below COnnagocheague, in Pensylvania. Her. parents were Thomas Jamieson and Jane, Originally Irvine, and were from Ireland, but of Scottish des, cent. At the age of 13 years, a few.weeks after the evacuation of Fort Du Quesne, in 1758, she, with her parents, a sister, and two brothers, were taken. by the Indians, and hurried into the wilderness. In , the third day of their captivity, the In diana:discovered, by their scouting parties, that wank white people Werein , pursuit of 'them, otherwise all their lives would have been spared. ""These merciless -.savages,. to facilitate their escape, killed the fathsr, mother, sister, and two brothers, but suffered Mary to live, and travelled to the. westward, taking her with them,. to a certain place on the Ohio, probably near .the Little - Beaver Creek, where they continued .some time, and iirent_to•a Shawnee town far below. Here she lived many years, married an In dian, and had several children. once she . attempted to desert - the place; and make her escape to the white people, . and had' proceeded' through the pathless wood many miles,' when the „fond. yearnings of a mother induced her to , return to her chil dren, whoM she has - never since felt a disposition to leave. • " 'Mary had an uncle, John Jamieson, who was killed at the time of .Braddock's defeat. She had two brothers, John and Thomas, who were not captured with the rest of the family.—, ManY years since she saw a'man from the neighbourhood of • her native spot, who informed her,that these two, brothers were' then, as she understood;. in same . part of Virginia. If still hiring, - and feelinc , the best sympathies. of human nature, how most it delight then to learn that a sister., who,. • no doubt was skipppaiiil, near 70 years ago, to . have suffered the-vengeance of . thelomahawk, and Who once seemed born to a better portion . than . ProVidenee has seen fit to allot her, is yet on this side the grave, sustaining the ,characterof an inoffensive and estimable woman.. The last wards her mother spoke to her, before th e fatal weapon' released her.and so many of the family from the sorrows of life;: were not, at present, to attempt to run away ; not tolorget her tnglish, not to forget her God. . • "' She had been taught , to read, and if she could have had books she thought that she could not have forgotten, but now; her Sight 'Was impaired. She. 'had 'learned the-Assembly's Ca techispi, and was early made acquainted, by the care of her pa rents, with the duties founded on the word of God, and has pro bahly often communicated the amount of her knowledge to the Indians. I remarked to her, that, •as she had greater advan tages-than-the people among whom she had spent her life,' it must have been in her power to have offered them very impor tant instruction,- as to the. duties. we all owe to the great God and Saviour of . the world.. She said she used •to teach the chil dren when they Were young. Pursuing my. remarks on the be nefit which she might still afford-to the natives, whom . ' she fre quently'sees by speaktng to them on the things of religion, she eplied with a quick articulation and.conmiderable . feeling, the ' Indians know what is right well enough, but they won't (10 they Won't do it. _ " Froin other sources welearned something of her uncommon trials. -After- the.death : of .her first:husband, she came to the 'Oenessee and married - Kattani, a. Chief, whollien assumed her nanie, Wit was called* Gauhdaou, from the pl ace :where he lived. generally she has six or-seven children, and has more than.forty grand. children.... Of her sons, three were liv ing a few years since. The youngest of these, being ambitious of the hcinour of his father's situation-in-the tribe, he being dead, had recourse to murder, that there might be no comp:Altar- in his way for the sachempon. He accordingly watched for .an op portunity, wiien one of his brothers little suspected what was in his heart, and sleWhim. -This.was overhioked. Smile timeafter, his 'murderous hand plunged a dagger into the breast ofthe sur viving brother. . " The Chiefs in Couneitthen resolved that he should atone for the repeated outrage upon the rights of humanity - with his own life. The mother went forward to plead for him, stating that he was the only son she had left, and entreated that he might not be taken from her. In tenderness to' the old woman, - the Chiefs granted her a lease of her son's life, during her continu ance in the world, with the understanding that, on her decease, the sentence already pronounced should be carried into execu tion. 'T i woyears ago this young Itormiltis was - killed. by some of his countrymen in a .drunken frolfc at ! `6quake Hill.". • _FOIL 1111; SUN. NECESSITY Ol' RELIGION-4LET TEE. H.) MR. EDITOR-Although the pretentied philo-_ sophers of modern . times have done every thing in their power to wove that religious ideas and principles arein direct opposi-. tion to the dictates of reason, and even of common sense, it is a very remarkable fact, that in all ages, and in all parts of the globe, men have agreed only upon one point, ,nainely, upon the, belief that there exists a Supreme Being, to whoorthey are bound to pay every possible homage. To whatever s4 ; e't7ef the earth we turn our attention, in ancient as we ll as .i n Mod er n ti mes , amongst the most chilited as well as annontrst the most herbal-4 ous nations, weevers , where find a notion, more or. less perfect,. of the duty, and some form of public worship established—an acknowledgment of the dependence of man ii;e:in hice euthor.- - Tiiis idea prevelltetiviest, ainitisietiv 4 44'4.0 idolatry.. In those ages of superstition, so humiliating to hu man reason, we ever discover a belief in some supreme regulator of every possible event. In the blindnes4 of their hearts, though convinced of the narrow limits of 'their minds, we find the ancients ever anxious to learn the dispehsations of Provi dence by consulting oracles, and to conciliate the good will of the Deity, by prayers, by sacrifices and by offerings. This belief in the existence of a Creator, of a God, is . not con fined to the untutored multitude. It is, on the contrary, chiefly found to prevail amongst the most respectable sages of antiquity: It was upon this belief that every Legislator laid the foundation of the code which was to unite men into one great social family. They were too well acquainted with the imper fection of human nature, and the disposition of the human mind, not to consider Religion as the mast pe4erful curb they could-put upon the passions of man. They justly con sidered it as a misfortune, or rather as a crime, in a being born to livein society, to be destitute of religious principles, and they delivered the wretch who dared to avow Such impious sen timents to the severity of the law, and to- the execration of his countrymen. According to their notions, Religion was the best pos'sible security for the morality and the probity of men. Mon tesquieu had the same idea when' he said, "He who has-no Re ligion whatever is a - ferocioiis animal, who seems sensible of his liberty- only-when lie teed' to-pieces and devours his fellow men." The praises I have here bestowed upon the religious principles of the ancients, are not, of course, intended as justi fications of the absurd and impious doctrines of Paganiirri e such as' they were professed, and perhaps believed, by the ignorant multittide. The, belief in liiany Gods was, indeed, confined wholly to• the lower orders of society. The more enlightened had attained more rational ideas upon this subject. Hence•we find Cicero assert, " That we ought aboVe all things to be con 'vinced that there is a Supreme Being, who pre-Sides over, all the events of the world, and disposes every thing as sovereign lord and arbiter. That to -him men owe all the good they. enjoye that he penetrates into, and is conscious of, whatever passes in the inmost tresses of our heart; thet bt teests the jemt and the impious according to their respective merits ; that his good will is not attained by the use of riches and an ostentatious dis play in the worship paid to them, but by the offerings of a pure and blameless heart, and by adoring him with an unfeigned and profound veneration." Such were the sublime sentiments of those, whose minds rising above the vulgar prejudices of their cotemporaries, caught some glimpse of the Deity, and were desirous of establishing religion upon a rational and secure basis. This universal and constant belief in the existence of a Supreme ; Being; manifested by every nation in the world, - in desPite of-the prejudice -of passions, and of the sophistry of some pretended philosophers, can proceed only from are inhe rent principle .of religion implanted in the human- break . by God himself, and from an original tradition as ancient 'as'the globe itself. Reason and reflection alone had thus led meirto a knowledge, in which we are confirmed by the stiperior testi mony of revelation, which' is the only source whence we can derive any thing like a coiiect'llotion of the great incompre hensible Being, and of the homage he is pleased to expect fioin his creatures. Religion is a necessary consennence of a belief in the existence of a God. God implies a Creator, the Lord .and Master of the Universe, and as such, he has an undoubted right to be honoured, respected, and adored. He is the Author of our being, the source of all our hopes ; and as such, grati tude and self-interest must, alone, induce us to thank him for past favours, to claim his -present protection, and to pray for his future kindness. Deeply impressed with an idea of his Di vine and retributive justice, men are kept in the . paths of vir tue by the dread of the punishments that await those, who dis obey his Commandments. In this respect, Religion is there fore the most powerful, perhaps the only effectual, curb by . which the human passions can be restrained, and the peace and happiness of society effectually secured. Destroy this strong, barrier, and the whole fabric of social order will soon be swept away by the resistless torrent of irreligious and immoral prin. ciples. 'When once the sacred bond which united men in one great family is either looseni , d, or torn 47,.sunder, it is difficult, if not, indeed, wholly impossible, to direct the passions of men into a channel that shall not prove injurious to their moral cha racter, or fatal to society. This being evidently the case, is it not surprizing that the men who prcifess themselves to be the friends of humanity, the regenerators of mankind, should use their.ut-- most endeavours to eradicate every religious principle from the human breast ? In order to accomplish this baneful and crimi nal purpose, they employ at once the arms of calumny, of mis representation, and of ridicule. Wilfully blind to the eminent advantages men have derived from religion, they do not blush to represent it as the work 'of weak, superstitious, or crafty minds; as the oppressive tyrant of reason, and the bane of man kind ! If the order and beenity of the universe compel them to admit the existence of a ho'., they represent him as happy in himself, and wholly. indifferent to the actions of men ; who have, therefore, nothing to hope from his goodness, nor to fear from his justice. According to their notion, the author of Nature is a mete passive being ; man only a machine : life an evil without hope, death a final dissolution, an eternal sleep I 'flow perni cious to society I how degrading to man ! how painful to the feeling mind I are these doctrines of a ,pretended philosophy, whose only object seems to reduce the first of created beings upon a level with the senseless brute. If every thing ends with life, why sacrifice the pleasures it eff':rsat the shrine 'of virtue ? Why restrain the violence of our passions; why not seize the enjoyments,that cofne in our way.! If every thing terminate in the tomb, . where- is the boasted attpctiority of man over the. '''v , Z : -1 7, a. --r. . ~.. , ..: -4, v., , e 'biute? Of what use is reason if. it teach hut: only liat virtue is. but an empty name, an unprofitable Self denial ? •If death be an eternal where are the soothing -suggestions of hope ? What comfort is left to the afflicted soul ?- Where: shall: the- Oppressed seek for redress If thus deetrihe.be true, their G9d, Hope, Justice, Virtue, Clime, are train: unmeaning words, and man the most despicable, -the :most wretched of possible Beings. These conclusions are strictly correct, their are naturally, and necessarily, deduced froth the, promiseS of our pretended Philosophers. ' Stich are the conse.; quenecs that must necessarily follow theadoption of their doc trines. Let the friend of man, the lover of his country, pause theirefore - ere he a.dPpts sentiments so pernicious in their nature, so fatal in their probable effects upon the generality of mankind, However necessary religion may be to the existence and wel fare of Society, ao inherent is the idea of paying.a just tribute of homage to the Creator, that it existed prior to the citablish ment of social compacts, and proved L-4,;;I:i of. 'tiOn. If this corner stone be removed, the whole fabric will therefore fall to the ground. Reason alone had pointed out this truth to the Pagans. Plutarch asserts, that it would' be easier to build a house in air, than to establish a Republic with out religion. , • Plato tells us, that not to believe in God, was a more pernicious evil for States, than the plague.; and that the man who attacked religion, sapped the veryThundation of So.: ciety. The same sentiments abound in some parts of the workti of the most determined enemies of Religion among the Moderns, In the writings of -Voltaire, that worthy. Chief of the Anti-re ligious Conspirators who have disgraced our days by their - im pious productions, we find, " That it is better for man 'to live in the shade of superstition, than without Religion." - That . a Religion is necessary in 'every Established Society,Lthat laws watch over public, and religion over private crimes," iSz.c. Indeed, the man who denies the existence-of a God, may be considered as a dangerous madman : but he who while l ac knowledges a God denies the necessity of religion, is the very worst of human beings. Hence, the doctrine of the Athiest is less . disgusting than that of the Deist. We may pity: the igno rance and the blindness of the former, but weauust detest the ingratitude and wick6dness of thelatter. If no God exist, man is independent; but if there be a.God, man must worship with gratitude this author of his being, this dispensatOr of all the good he enjoys, his present prop, and the hope of his-future existence. The necessity of Religion may be further proved by the in. suffiiiency of civil laws to restrain the passions of _men. Lavis protect the interests of soeiety, , only by watching over' the .outward appearance of vice. Religion forms themind and the heart of man; forbids private; as well as public crimes, con demns the• inclination no. less than the actual deed, points out the certainty, of detection, and the inevitable condemnation and punishment of the - offender, The laws of man maybe silenced by bribery ; evaded by cunning, set at defiance by power ; but those of God are dealt out to all.men with the most appalling impartiality ; their sentence- is as immutable as the eternal Being by whom prononnced. They are therefore, from their very nature; as well as from that of the human mind, the only secure basis upon which the whole edifice of society can possibly rest, and deserve as such the zzalous support - of every legislator and friend of humanity, .

GUILDITALL.—S6I/TERVARIC MEETI2•II RELATIVE TO Sin ItoirEnr - WlLSON.—During the course of the bushiese before Mr. Alderman J. J. SMITH, the sitting Magistrate at .this Justice-room yesterday; a deputation' of three Ge.ntlentai • from the Borough of Southwark waited upon him as the act ing Magistrate of the Borough, to learn if it was his intention to attend and preside at the Meeting to be held - at the Town hall this day for the purpose of Considering - the propriety of en. tering into, a subscription for Sir It WilSon, Mr. Alderman &inn, received the deputation with every respect, and said he certainly did not consider it hie dittyito • preside at the Meeting: he was not an inhabitant of the Bo rough, but only the acting Magistrate. The meeting was not called by him, : but by the authority of the Lord Mayor, I ,pf whose permission the use of the "hall was also granted. 114 (Alderman Smith)• had no authority to sanction or 'refuse the meeting; but in his, capacity of. acting7Magistrate of the district, it' was imperative upon the 'persons calling 'the Meeting, by the late Act of Parliament, to give him six day's notice of their intention to hold such Nteeting ; this they .hadalone, which, as far as he was concerned, was all that w::.3 required of them. 'The 'Act gave. no authority to 'the Magi trate to prevent such Meeting, neither was. his consent requi rtxl for the .holdidg of it; nor was he directed by the statute to be "present. 'Zitry vouldtherefore appoint their own Chairman ; he should of coarse be at the Town Hall about the time of • . Meeting upon the regular business of the Justice-roora, and should therefore be at hand and ready to perform his d ut y, if his services as a Magistrate should be in any manner required. The worthy Alderman then took occasion to observe, that the requisition presented to the High Bailiff; and which he bad rt . _ fused to accede to, differed very essentially as to the purpcs:±s,of the Meeting from the notice with which they had served liim - aa 'the Magistrate. lie therefore thought it right strongly to 're commend to them not to introduce any extraneous business at the Meeting, but to be exceedingly cautious to keep strictly •to the business mentioned in the notice. They were. no doubt aArare that the Magistrate had the authority, by the Act of 'Par liament, and might I\e called upon, to dissolve the Meeting if any improper discussion arose or was persisted in; and he,' if calledupon must do his duty, and dissolve the Meeting., The Gentlemen of the Deputation thanked the Alderman, • and-promised' -to use every exertion to confine the -discussions at •the -Meeting to the business stated in the notice. to the . • Magistrate. ' • . The Deputation then bowed.and withdrew. - APPLICATION TQ TIIE LOIID NIAYOIX BY THE FRIEND. or Silt ROBERT WILSON.—AS the Lord Mayor was sitting in the J . oglee - Room yesterday, Mr. Ryland and Mr. 'RichartF- Non, Gentlemen well known .in the Corporation as persons of activity in - public matters, waited upon his Lordship to request that he would grant the use of the Lgyptian Hall for a N; wiang of those citizens who were desirous of expressing their senti ments upon the-extraordinary dismissal of Sir Robert Wilson from his rank of Major-General in the Army. The circum. Stances of this case of uncommon hardship were, they obseryekl, familiar to his Lordship, who was also doubtless well aware of the general feeling upon the subject, and of the proceedings of the, constituents of Sir Robert. 'the Lon]) 'Maxon tiaid, in answer to the application . , that upon the -last occasion of o public meeting in the Egyptilin - hall,.na,mely,, upon the meeting of the merchants, 'bankers, and traders of the city of: London, so disgraceful an uproar was :raised in the halli . that he had made a declaration that he Would prevent the possibility of the recurrence of so offensive a scene during; his mayoralty, by withholding' his consent to the practice of applying the Mansion-houie to political meetings, 'or any others but those upon charitable or religious occasions..--. His Lordship said he had wristantly maintained this determin ation, although be supposed there were many who objected to it, in whine political sentiments he completely acquiesced. HO had been under the necessity of giving a negative to several 4. plications• for. the use of the Mansion-house on political occa. dons, 'and he regretted that he lay under the same necessity in. the presentinstance. The Gentlemen, we understood, observed, that they felt by no means surprised at his Lordship's determination under tile ' circumstances that had at that period alluded to taken place, but submitted that the.occa,sion. upon which they proposed to have -a meeting was not one of those at which the contemptible bands of disturbers of peace and harmony who had occasioned such diSortier were likely ,to be pr,scut. Noise and nonsense, if nothing - Ose,•weie to be apprehended front such interfere/rite, although the object would, no doubt, be that of frustrating thO &signs of the friends of constitutional freedom. The'applitants intimated tci his Lordship, finding thit he was immoveable, that they should at all events feel it necessary to hold a meeting of the friends of Sir RObert Wilson ih the city, at some one of - the tavorns'or pUblic'reome.. 'The L'onD 'Mayon'expre.ssed his. full concurrence in the ob. 'Pet Of the friends-and constituents of the g s ►allant individual, but, as the Chief Magistrate of the City; the impropriety of his taking an active parria. any of the proceedings that were al,. ready entered into would, be perceived. His Lordship approved of the idea of calling the meeting .in the manner just suggested, after which the gentlemen left the Justice-room. It is said that Sir Tton::nT WILSON will set' out for 'London on the ‘,2 d is 3d of October, - and s that his friends in England are impatient:to . see him in that country, in order 'to repel the accusa tions made agaiust.him during' his absence. The General is still.ps_completely 'ignorant as he was the first day, respecting the causes of hi§ sudden dismissal.• But this mystery •wilt•be soon deve loped., for public opii‘iou was never mare de cidedly pronounced' than in this affair.
