Mon OF you,I did not expect such treat
ment from your hands. In your COM
ments on these Indian lies, you take
them to be true, yet in the same breath
you say, you "t'ust" they are " exagge-
rated. IF you 50 ardentIy hoped for the
honor of our country, that these Indian
statements were not true, why did you
publish them, or comment on them, be-
fore they were ascertained to be true
This manner of first iniuring a mans
character, and then hoping the state
ments, SO injurine, are exaggerated, is
not fair dealing You hope this matter
will be inquired into ; have begun the
inquiries, and | do assure you, the fur
ther you force me to it, the more dis
grace will be attached to you; and do
further assure you, that have not the

Logical reasoners know, when pre-
misses are established, what differences
can be drawn. The farmer knows, when
he sows his wheat, that he shall not raise
crop of hemp; and Legislators should
know, when they enact law, what effect
it will have on the community. The adj
vocates of the State Bank say, Try it
and see what effect it will have" This
only proves that they do not foresee its
effects. But any person who is capable
of understanding syllogism need not
consult the Pythian oracle on this subject.
The mason knows he cannot build mar

Let US for moment examine and see
if the ends aimed at by the law can be
accomplished. 1t is intended to relieve
those in debt-indirectly admitting that
a large proportion of the people were
debtors. This is unquestionably the fact,
and in those parts of the state where |
am acquainted, two-thirds OF the free
holders are incumbered with judgements.
The balance are the substantial yeoman-
~ of the state, and who feel not disposed
to embark in uncertain speculation, and
who would rather collect their own debts
than to become indebted. The property
of two thirds of the freeholders then be-
ing incumbered, and | am satisfied this
is not an exaggerated calculation, they can
obtain no money on real security, and it
is not probable the other third, being in
many instances their creditors, will mort
gage their own property and loan the
avaiis to their debtors, that in the third
step it may be paid back to themselves
as creditors.

hat state, having spent my youth in
Windsor county, | am satisfied, that
here, with half the labor which is there
expended, man may raise more pro-
siuce. The climate is charming, and
with some exceptions, healthy. The
season is about six weeks earlier here,
than in Vermont, and proportionably
longer. There is rarely more than ten
or fifteen days in the winter, that the
plough cannot be used. The expense
of journey from Vermont is nothing,
as any young man may increase his funds,
particularly in the Spring and Fall, as
from Olean, N. Y. the point of embarka-

are continually descending the Allega-

Mississippi, and intersected about the

Golconda on the Ohio, so miles distant.
"Come on, then, by pairs or singly,"
and for your $40 purchase plantation,
be independent, and cultivate no more

binds the enterprising Yankees to the
spot of their birth, like that which re-
tains the Indian near the decaying bones

were again reused by the cry of fire. The
flames we're first discoveredbursting out of the
roof ofthe Old Theatre, situate in South street.
The building had not been open for the pre-

houses, in the immediate neighborhood, were
burnt, and some of the families that occupied
them were unable to save an article Of their
furniture. Mr.. John Diamond, distiler, whose
dwelling and distillery were near the theatre
has suffered considerable loss. The first no.

proceeded from this source, or was the work

GENTLEMEN--I regret that you have
compelled me to come before the pub
lie to correct your Indian statements,
and your comments thereon. In your
editorial mixture of May the 18th, you
have published the statements Of two In
di5ns, concerning their treatment in the
Belleville Jail last winter; and as am,
by the Office of sheriff, the keeper OF that
Jail, consider it my duty to lay before
the public the truth concerning the above
transaction--aud thereby to teach editors
not to inure the characters of innocent
persons on the false statements CT MUIR
dering Indians.
There was no fire in the prison last
winter, nor was there need of any; these
Indians we're confined, by the approo "a
ton of all concerned, iii the dungeon at
Belleville; the walls are thick, and as
not much air could come in, it was not
cold: but let this matter be as it may,
there was no means of having fire in said
room, this was known to all; and if it
was not consented to, why were the In
dams not removed to fire places.-Con-
corning the bedding of these Indians you
have published most absolute falsity;
Mr.. Forsyth, the Indian agent, sent from
St. Louis two blankets, to these Indians,
which were delivered to them in the
presence of respectable gentleman, to-
gether with two blankets and two Buffa-
loe robes they had, which were sufficient
to keep them warm. The above can
and will be proven if necessary. state
to the world this to be truth, which |
can prove, that these Indians were fur
nished plentifuliy with meat, and bread,
and water. From the duties of my Of
fee, could not always be present abou,
the Jail, but have rusty deputy, in
whom l can confde, that lives in the
lower story of the Jail, and from him, |
know that in my absence they had food
in abundance. I attended in person al
ways when in my power, and found food
much more than they could eat; for the
sake of humanity, as one Of these Indians
was sick, and dangerously i'll with many
disorders from appearances, to wit {:
Broke out in large sores, and bleeding at
the nose, tooth ache, and scurvey, nearly
all the time he was confined in Jail. Soup
was frequently made and given them in
the course of the winter. This consider
ed an extra dainty, and thought l would
be rewarded for it accordingly; but in
stead of this, current of silly invective
has been let loose against me. All the
4 above statements are true, and when me-
cessary can and will be substantiated to
the world.
IfColonel Leavenworth had gathered
his information from the keeperso f the
Jail, and people of Belleville, ne would
have discovered that these lndials had
