, The SeaSon.-While the pecuniary
distress through the country, causes a
heavy heart and sad countenance with
many of His unworthy creatures, the
providence of God was never more con-
spicuous than is this year displayed in the
fruits of the fields, and the health of the
inhabitants. Who that will think of these
things, but must be abased at the reflec
ton, that the causes of the complaints so
generally and deeply heard, are to be
found in the abuse Of high priyileges-in
the foIlies and extravagancies with which
most Of us are ehargeable Our feelings
ought to be chastened, and our ingratitude
punished by adversely.
The fields, which began to suffer from
several weeks Of dry and warm weather,
were refreshed on Thursday last by a
plentiful shower. The oats, corn and po-
tatoes, now promise good crops. Farmers
are now harvesting their rye, aud will
soon find the wheat ripe for the sickle.
The Council holden with the six ma
tons Of Indians, by Judge Miller, as
commissioner GU the part of the United
States, terminated on the 9th inst. in the
refusal of the Indians TO cede their lands.
The celebrated Red Jaclcet spoke about an
hour in his shrewd and logical manner.
We are assured that the article copied
into our last from Buffalo paper, stating
that the Indians residing within this state
had resolved not TO encourage the intro
duction of the Christian religion among
them, is incorrect. We are promised
some particulars relative to the long talk
held by the Indians, at their late meeting
on the subject.
