During his march to conquer the world,
Alexander, the Macedonian, came to PEG
pie in Africa, who dwtlt IN remote and
secluded corner in peaceful hms, andIknew
neither war nor couqueror. They led him
to the hut Of their chief who received hun
with hospitality, and placed before him
golden dates, golden figs, and bread ofgold.
Do you eat gold in this country! said Alex
ander. take it for granted lreplied the
chief that thou vert able to find eatable
food in thine own country. For what rea-
son then art thou come among US. Your
gold has not tempted me hlther, saIdAlexan-
der, but l would willingly become acqualn-
ted with your manners and customs. 30
be it, rejoined the other; sojourn among US
as long as it pleaseth thee. At the close OF
this conversation two citizens entered as
into their court of Justice. The plaintiff
said, bought Of this man piece ofland,
and as Twas making deep drain through
it found treasure. This IS not mine, for
only bargained for the land, not for any
treasure which might be concealed beneath
i; and yet the former owner wlllnotrecciye
it. The dclencau: answered: hope ! have
a conscience as well as my fellow citizen.
sold him the land with all its contingent
as well as existing advantages, and cOnse-
quently the treasure incluslyeIy.
The chief,who was at the same time their
supreme Judge, recaptulated their words in
order that the parties might see whether or
no he understood them Alright. Then after
some reflection said: Thou hast a son friend
| believe? Yes! And thou addressing
the other a daughterl Yes! Well then,
let ting son marry ting daughter, and bestow
the treasure on the young couple for their
marriage portion. Alexander seemed sur
priscd and perpexed. Think you my SEN
teuce UNJUST the chiefasked him. o no,
replied Alexander, but it surprises me.
And how then, reioined the chief, how
would the case have been decided in youf
country To confess tho truth, said A.
lcxander, we should have taken both par
ties into custody and have sliced the trea-
sure for the kings use. For the kings

suredly. Wonderful but are there tame
animals in the country that live on the
grass and green herbsl Very many, and

cause, soid the chief for the sake of those
innocent animals the All Gracious Being

WINNEBAGOES.

About $50 Indians of this tribe, belong
ing to the Spotted Arms Village Band, on
the East side Of Rock River, started Tor
Rock Island for the purpose of attending
the treaty, which was firstly appointed to
be held at that place. After reaching o.
gees Ferry on Rock River, they learned
that that It was to be held at Prairie du
Chem; at which they were so much dis
pleased, that they declined going any fur
Their, and we are informed, they say they
viii not consent to, or recognize any trea-
ty.-GalsHa .Rig.
We learn by a gentleman who arrived
here Yesterday, from Prairie du Chem,
that there arc at that place about loo In
dams, consisting of Wnne5agoes, Pola-
watamies, Sacs and Foxes. The two for
mer nations, each, claim TO be owners Of
the Country, for the purchase of which our
Commissioners have convened them. Sew
eral talks have already been listened to by
oa- Commissioners from them, in which
they show every disposition to sell their
country. There was some difficulty be-
tween the two nations alluded TO, arising
out of the manner in which the $4,000
promised them at Green Bay, last summer
ST. ould be distributed among them. The
Winuebagoos claim the full amount, be-
cause they say the Potawatamies never
owned any portion ofthis country, and con
seouenily are not entitled TO any portion Of
rents for 1t. The Potawatamies claim
ownership ly virtue of title invested IN
them az some former treaty, in conSldera-
ton OF the country bordering on the Illinois
River. So soon as the difficulty is settled,
the purchase can be etiected.-Nhat
course will be adopted by our Commission
ers TO settle that point, or whether any ad-
iustment can be made satisfactory to the
contending parties, Is at present unknown.
We think. however, il will not be difficult
to treat with the Indians upon fair terms,
lflef to their own discretion, unInAuenced
by interested white men.-B.
CopDer.-We have this day seen a spe-
cimen ofpure metal copper, obtained from
the ore which has recently been dug from
Mr.. Ansley's Copper Mine near Mineral
Point. We learn from that gentleman,
that there is, IN all probability, large bo-
DIV of this valuable are in that section of
the country; and tits only requisite that the
manufacture Of copper be commenced, to
render il q valuable article for expectation.

We learn from Gen. Il. VI. Saunders,
who returned few days since from the
Cherokee Nation, that himselfand the Rev.
Mr.. Posey, the other Commissioner, sue
ceed5d il contracting with the claimants
for reservations fland, in fftyt0ur cases,
of $40 acres; that there are three OF four
cases, in which they expect to meet with
no difficulty Of obtaining; that the apprO-
priadou by Congress, $4,000, will more
than cover tine purchase and attending eX-
penses; that It will be necessary for the
Commissioners again to visit the Nation,
TO pay the money, take conYeyances, sc.
when they expect TO make a final adjust
ment of the whole business; and thata part
Of these lands have already been sold by
The State, but a large portion are yet to sell
some ofwhich are valuable.
The country Is represented to us as heal
thy and well situated to persons of small
force, as stock Of all kinds is raised &c
great advantage. The inhabitants of the
new county Of Macon evince public spirit
in the opening Of roads, the erection o.
public buildings, &c. Contracts have beer
made for the erection of a Court House &
Jail, both Of brick, at the price Of about
$1,000.
There seems to be no doubt, that after
another sale Of the State Lands, the coun
try will become fully settled.

Yesterday the Convention again resolved itself
into committee Of the whole, Mr. Powell in tie
Chair the question under consideration being the
resolution of the Legislative Committee, fixing white
population the exclusive basis of representation in
the House of Delegates.
Mr. Scott suggested that the committee should
pass over the subject of the basis of representation
TO other matters referred TO them, aedgng several
arguments In favor of it. Before any question
tuken the discussion branched off, hIessrs Mercer,
Doddridoc, Stanard and Scott, ayailing themselves
cf the opportunity of explaining or rebultiDg Calcu-
lations submitted by those gentlemen and others,
relating to the strength OF the population on either
side of the mountains. This discussion was prOnoun-
ce by tic Chair sulneWIat out Of order, but conceded
