Taxes are sill the most Interesting OBJ

f'ankness. The most important disclosure
is that Mr.. Madison aud Co. are bankrup,
Tor upwards of thirteen million Of dollars y
The object of the Secretary, in the plan
he proposes, and which he shews will be
necessary, is TO adopt a system OF perma
nent taxation, which shall raise annually the
Amount OF twenty one million Of dollars
which VIII DC repaired every year. until, by
raisin., still greater sum. the amount OF
the 2ub.ick debt can be reduced e This,

The propositions Of the British ministers
at Gnenl shew plan enough, that Great
Britain, though forced TO be at war with US
is not so much our enemy, as the govern
| ment we serve. The only condition whiCl
| they insist upon, and say must be conceded
| - ottC WbtCu tuC oNHeu oldlSS may duAlit
without the least injury, and therefore with
out the least disnonour.
This IS so very obvious, that with all the
1 care taken, before the documents appeared
! to Pr epossess the publick mind against then,
there was no evidence of any considerable
sensation, when they we're first Perused
| Inc documents themselves brought an an
lidote 10 the Misrepresentation circulated
in advance. Every day they were examin.
ed, the less Iepulslve they appeared 10 meh
oil reflection and at HIS moment we are
persuaded the general impression is, tina,
they contain no.bingto forbid the progress
of negotiation and thai il an honorable
peace is not Effected, it will be because our
government Isrefer svur.
The ssl onser this impression grows, the
more desperate appears our situation. The
people have loosed forward to the Ting
Of .he ministers at Client, with the utmost
soiictude. They now fad, the 6ist and
highes! claims Oh the british, such as o2en
a door for al honorable negotis'ion aud an
advantageous peace. But boik our minis.
tiers and President and perhaps majority
in Congress are for taking offence, and re.

geance Is it possible, thai IN the nineteenth
century any rational man should question,
whether the Indians have right to the, soil,
which God has given them? Or whether they
are to be treated as an independent people
Right and power are different things. If civil
lized nations, will not say christian, have
never done them justice, bet them repent of
their past conduct, and do them justice for the
future. Let the Indians have the lands, giyen
them by their Creator, rand left them by ,heiT
fathers. Let their just rights be eaectualy
secured. And ls' CHRISTIANS endeagosl tccjy-
| ifize and Christianize tnem..
The Indian territory is Of no importance to
the commercial States. Indeed it is almost
certain, that if it were taken from the Indians,
and settled by the whites, they would with
draw from the Atlantic States. If the union is
to be preserved, it is wise policy to leave to
the Indians all, that they now possess.
No evil can result to the Atlantic States from
allowing the Indians to have all their lands
guaranteed by the British. If any are iniu-
red, it will be the people ofthe Western States
These have done all in their power to plunge
us into the war. If they have to suffer the e.
vii resulting from their own folly they may
! thank themselves. Justice must take IFS course.
Win the friends Of peace fight to obtain fol
the people of the west right to exterminate
our red brethren, to seize upon their lands, to
| deprive them OF the inheritance, which God has
given them! Will they hazard their own in
dependence to maintain that the Indians are
not to be treated as an independent people
Will they expose to devastation their flourish
ing cities, their extensive sea-coasts, TO de-
prive the Indians of their native wilds? Will
they sacrifice all the blessings of civilized
life, that they may be in a situation to make
savages more miserable What then mus, be
the consequences Z? The war must continue to
an unknown period In the contest thousands
and ten thousands OF eur fellow citizens must
perish; and countless millions expended. Fax
es must be increased to an extent insupporta-
bic. A dsbt will be contracted, which fifty
Indian territories, would not extingu,sh. Our
trade will be destroyed past recovery. All our
shipping viii perish in the mud. Our sailors
will disappear. Our mechanics and merchants
will be reduced to poverty. Thousands Of IN
nocent families must perish. Our Cities will
be depopulated. Our morals will be eontami-
mated. The commercial States will be ruined.
And Mr.. Madison will be gratified. Ii an In
dian wilderness be of more importance TO us,
than all our commercial advantages, than all
the blessings Of peace, then let us make des-
perate push to obtain that wilderness. But if
we have any regard TO our own interest, and
are not infatuated 10 the last extreme, let the
Indians retain their wilderness, and let US take
ehectual measures to obtain the blessings OF
peace, and restore our expiring commerce.
