on their importance. But the bulwark OF our
defence is the national militia, which, IN Inc
presen, state of our intelligence and population,
mus, render US invincble. AS long as our go
yernmen,is administered for The good OF the
people, and is regulated by their win; as long
as it secures 10 us the rights Of person and pro-
perry, liberty OF conscience, and Of The press, 1t
will be worth defending; and SO long as i, is
worth defending, patriotic militia will cover
it with an impene,rabe ggis. Partial injuries
and occasional notifications we may be SUBJ
jected to, but million Of armed freemen, pos
sessed Of the means Of war, can never be con-
quered by foreign foe. To any just system
therefore, calculated to strengthen this natural
safeguard Of the country, shall cheerluiiy lend
all the aid in my power.
1t will be my sincere and cons. ant desire, TO
observe towards the Indian tribes within our
limits, jus, aud liberal policy; and to give that
huns me and considerable attention 10 their rights
and their wants, which are consistent with the
habits of our government aud the feelings OF
our people.
The recent demonstration OF public senti-
.nent inscribes, on the list Of executive duties,
in characters too legible to be overlooked, the
task u reform; which will require, particularly,
the correction of those abuses that have brought
the patronage Of the Federal Government into
conflict with the freedom Of elections, and the
counteraction of those causes which have dis
tn. bed the rishful course of appointment, and
have placed, or continued power in, unlaithlul
or incompetent hands.
In lhe performance Of a task thus generally
delineated, all endeavor TO select men whose
diligence and tale pts will ensure, in their res
peclive stations, able aud faithful cooperation
depending for the advancement Of The pub
lie service, more on the integrity and zeal Of
The public officers, than on their numbers.
A diffidence, perhaps too just, in my own
qualifications, will teach me TO look with rever
ence to the examples Of public virtue left by my
illustrious predecessors, and with veneraIiou to
the lights that how from the mind that found.
ed, and tho mind tina, reformed, our system
The same diffidence induces me 10 hope for in
siruction and aid from the coordinate branch
es Of the government, and for the indulgence
and support Of my fellow citizens generally
Aud firm reliance on the goodness Of that
Power whose providence mercifully protected
our national infancy, and has since upheld our
liberties in various ,icissitudes enc oarages ME
to Offer up my ardent supplicatioDs that he will
continue to make our beloved country, the OBJ

INDIAN TALK.

Inc following speech IN answer to the
"talk," which President jackson sent to the
Creek Indians in GeOrgia, short time since,
advising them to remove beyond the Missis-
sippi, is very much to the purpose, although
prOfessedly fictitious. We copy il from a
Savannah paper.
At q council of the Chiefs, head men, and
warriors Of the Creek nation, convened by
authority. the talk of the President was COM
municated by the Agent. After profound
silence of many minutes duration, SpeckIed
Snake, a warrior whose head was whitened
with the frosts of more than hundred win
tiers |! and who supported himself on the
shoulders oftwO young men, it il supposed a
rose, and spoke as follows.
Brothers! We have heard the talk of our
great father; Il il very kind he says he loves
his red children.
Brothers! have listened to many talks
from our great father. When he first came
over the wide waters. he was but little man,
and wore red coat. Our Chiefs met him
on the banks Of the river Savannah. and smO-
ked with him the pipe OF peace. He was
then very little. His legs were cramped by
sitting long in his big boat. and he begged for
little land 20 light his Ere on. He said he
had come over the wide waters to teach In
dams new things. and to make them happy"
He said he loved his red brothers; he was
