INDIAN SPEECH

INDtAN SPEECf.
The following Speech of Syqfccha Bar
nett, a half-brecd Creek Indian, was de-
llvered short time past, before nation
al assembly of the chiefs lit evinces Il
pacific disposition, which should be che
rished by our government:
My countrymen--God made US all,
both red and white Americans, to live on
one Island. Since the Almighty has
said we should live together, Why did we
join the people who came from beyend
tie saltwater? Why did we join the
British. Let us raise our children TO the
end that God created them. We can
live without The red coats,or their help.
Let us, lien, raise our corn and eat it.
When God gave us this land. he said we
shall rest our bone upon it--sO he said
TO all those 10 whom he gave land
think there is but one Cod; and
that, that God is just-if we walk strict
in has, he will save us in the nert world.
The cold water which he gave us still runs
so ave The paths for the government of
the conduct ofgood men stillhere. Fool
SIN as am, my little understanding tells
me when see these things, that they are
Gods works.
When the white people first came a.
mong us, the Great Spirit had forbid our
mlNture-we did mix-and TO avoid the
PAIN of separating the husband from his
wife, the father from his children, and the
brother from his sister, he has continued
the course of the mixed blood i'll our
VEINS. We mustremain in this situation,
because God is upon The top of US, and
directs il 10 be so. Gen. Washington
acquired war-name above the rest Of
men-but the mixture of our blood, and
the accession of Il part ofour strength to
his, added not little TO it. You all
know, my countrymen, who know any
thing of the unfortunate history Of our
country, how slow was his progressw when
opposed by the strong and undivided
arms ofour fathers, and how rapid it
has been since Whiskey and Calico have
divided us-We are all one people,"

SOmething ceiy extraordinary, bat t'ne.-
The London Courier says, a Depuiy from
iuenos Ayres is SAID To he On his way TO
Vienna, TO offer the 9 Kingdom of Buenos
Ayres," Ia the Austrian Prince, upon his
refusal, ii IS TO be hawked about 10 some
other powerful court.
This, we are sorry to say, is not en-
tirely fictitious. The lactious persons
who govern Buenos Ayres, &c. have ac-
tually proposed to Ferdinand VII. 10 send
Gu, his brother Charles as hing of ALL
South America, provided ;hat Ferdinand
should renource his own claim to it /!
These imbecile beings. who abound in
banishing and calumniating all men OF
worth. (hiring renegadoes to asperse
their character, as in The case of General
Canera,) talk openly as though they
thought consolidated monarchy prefer
able to separate epubiics.-What is
stranger still, they who are catholics
themselves, affec; TO think that the cath
Ole religion is Incompatible with rcpubH-

The propositions from Puerreydon 10
Ferdinand, are doubtless the real cause
of the frequent interchange of courieIs
between certain courts mentioned under

learned tIie facts to which The London pa
ragraph recalls our recollection. [N. Vol.

This general movement of my tellowciti

the happlest effects may be anticipated.
The regulation OF cOnn.erce, has, as you

the manner in which that high trust has here
tofore been discharged, the most salutary Ell

TREASURY REPORT.

The acting Secretary ct he Treasury has
made his annual report. II appea's that phc
amount Of unredee med pub - deb, ON the st
Of October, was Sios,745,8is. The debt
doe before the lsio war, and. which was
unredsemed on the first Of Ja1. ieiS, was
H38, ,34o, ,9o6. The Wac Deb Is therefore,
S7o,4o4.pl2. Tbs revenue ives very great
the last year, and has been - the present.
owing to an excess Of impor.a,ions After
1920, tho present rates OF duties and taxes
arc only calculated to produce 10000 over
the permanent expenditures, including, how
ever, the app ioprialins tor tho sinking fund,
which he proposes to augment by two mil
lions additional per year. The present sink
ing fund ne calculates would unaihiaIate tic
public debt In l8l2-but with tie proposed
addition, conditional apProp, ia,ion OF snoth-
er million, SIC. he considers it may be sxtin-
gushcd in Is yesrs.
The Louisiana Stock, SIo,923Soo, is re-
imbursabIs in four annual inslallments
commencing in 1919. The stock subscrib-
ed by individuals 10 rho National Bank is &c.
deemable at the will Of the Government.
The Secretary advises that when there 10
money to spare, Six Per Cent Stock may bs
purcha.ed when it can be got at par, or Sew.
en- Per Cen. for loo.
II is calculated that the Mississippi Stock,
S4,oSsei5 which bears no interest, will
probably be Reimbursed by saes Of public
land in the Mississippi Territory during the
three succeeding years.
In 1919, lac revenue is calculated at le
millions from tho Customs-3, 500 900 from

notwithstanding the favorable situation
Of the Treasury, the cisordered state Of the
