strange things from the Custom House to-day
The facts are said to be, that sundry persons
were rewarded on Saturday, for their services IN
the good cause, and were to be sworn into office
to day, for which purpose they came up this
morning, laughing at both corners of their mouths
But sad was the disappointment they were tated
to encounter 1t seems that letter had been re-
ceived since Saturday, from the Secretary of the
Treasury, forbidding the distribution OF any
more Custom House rewards, except to I'LL va
cancies by death or resignation. Consequently.
instead of being sworn into the Custom House,
the candidates were obliged to go swearing out OF
it. We mourn that the benevolence of our col

We occasionally meet with some of our friends
who think with us on the Indian question. al
though large majority of them are opposed to
the policy of the Administration in this particu-
lar. The Richmond Wing agrees with US pre-
cisely; and we cannot do better than adopt its
words to express our ideas.
If, says the Wing, this Administration has
foe who despises its impotency, abhOrs its mag
nifty, or dstrusts its members or its motives, more
profoundly or more sincerely than we do, we but
nave never had the pleasure of meeting the man
party feeling shall never carry US to the length of
putting in jeopardy the peace and integrity of the
Union, to accomplish any purpose, however i'm
portant and desirable, short in its consequence
of that peace and integrity-and what object can
possibly be half SO vita! and essential to the hap
piness of the people of the United States?-
Misrule, and its effects, may be repaired-the
dscredit of being governed by man too igno.
rant to have formed any system of political con-
duct, so weak as to permit that system to he
controlled by every urgent circumstance, or eve
ry counsellor, who, for the time being, has OBJ
tanned an ascendant over his unenlghtened and
wavering mind, may be survved-but the Union
once dissolved, can never be reunited, and its
peace once disturbed, no man can say when war
will end, and in what state Of things it will ter
inmate. Are the invaluable blessings of Union
and Peace to be hazarded for a tribe of indians:
Or for all the Indians in North America: Was
the question one of extirpation, instead Of the
exchange OF one good country for another, the
alternative ought to be preferred to the dissou.
ton of the American Union, in which all man.
kind have a stake.
The question is one of great and paramount
state necessty-weighed against which, the faith
of Indian treaties, the abstract rights of Indians.
and even their very existence, ought not to weigh
a feather. IF the Cherokees remain in Georgia,
or il the United States attempt to sustain them
in their right to do so. it is plain that rar, ciuI
war, the worst sort of war, is the oonse-
quence. And is any true American willing to
incur this consequence, in preference TO compel |
ling the Indians to exchange cOuntries-an ex-
change which all experience demonstrates must
be for their benefit, BY removing them from the |
Enclosure of civilization, where they have inva-
riably lauguished, de'eriorated, and finally sunk |
into the NEST Ioathsome degradation?
