The late rumors from the westward
ofthe savage barbarities committed by
the Indians in British pay, have excited
the sympathy of all feeling hearts, and
the Indignation ofthe community against
the AclAish tends who instigate them.
From the National IuteAgencer Of Oct. /.
The services OF a number of the friend
ly Indians we learn is proposed to be
accepted by our government
From the albany Gazette.
Indian AuxHiaries The Indian Agent
at Buaaloe has been instructed by the
President of the United States to accept
the services of the Savages of SIX na-
tons, and to embody and organize them.
There will probably be within fortnight
at Buffaloe or 400 Indian warriors,
embodied and organized in the service
Of the United States
From the National MteNigencer Of Oc-

Our readers will scarcely credit the
fact, that some of our most popular jc-
deral prints are so lost to reason-their
feelings of humanity so much blunled,
or totally stihcd by their enmity to their
government, that they defend the en-
plsyment of the Indians BY the British
in the business of marauding and muir
dering the defenceless inhabitants ofour
frontiers. Such however is the fact
and painful as it is to record it, it
ought to be known, that whilst the Bril-
tish are defended in every thing-the
patriotic exeytions Of the West are in
the same quarter related with sneers,
almost with wishes for their defeat |!
The man who can elicit amusement from
British foray aud Indian massacres, who
can smile at the wounds his country may
receive
g Is fit for treason, stratagem and spoil
" Let no such man be trusted.
We think we hear the reader exclaim
Why surely these different paragraphs
are The Productions Of very different
pens! The man who on the Goth OF
September wrote about the helhishness
of employing Indian Auxi!iaries--and
who on the 18th of October, again starts
with horror at the bare idea of their
crueltics upon the dcfcnceless inhabi-
tants Of the frontier, cannot be the same
who gravely, and without a sigh, an
nounces the intention OF his own 60
vernment to accept the services OF these
very Sapngcs in carrying death and de-
ISOLATION amongst the defenccless women
and children of the Canadian territory !!
Yes, gentle reader, " such is the fact,
and Painful as ii is TO record it, it ouShf
to Be knoscn," the very same man OF feel
ing, who on the goth of September, is
ready to burst with Indignation at the
barbarity Of employing Indian auxllla-
ries, can see no harm in such measure
on the lst of October. The very man
who is shocked when informed that TIE
people of nsighboring province have
accepted the aid of the Indians in the
defence of their liberty and lives, >sees
no inhumani,y in our acceptance OF their
services 10 marau6 and murder the de-
Genceless women and children OF pro-
vince, hose soil we have invaded, and
amongst whose unoHending people we
have sndeayored to kindle the flame OF
siyil war!
The man who can "elicit" truth from
contradictions such as these,
" Is fit to be-a conjursr %
Though Federal Editors we feel as
sensibly as the Editor Of the Intelllgen-
Ger can do, for our defenceless brethren
who BY precipitate declaration OF war ,
