lv similar; or rather, should say that they have
but two sorts Of expression; the is that OF We
ry noble and warlike daring, the other OF a gen.
tie and naiuc simplicity, that has no mixture OF
folly in it, but which is inexpressibly engaging,
and the more touching, perhaps, because at the
very moment we were looking at them, those
very hearts which lent the eyes such meek and
friendly softness, were wrung by base, cruel,
and most oppressive act Of their great father.
We.were at Washington at the time that the
measer} Or chasing the last Of several tribes OF
Indians from their forest homes, was canvassed
in Congress, and finally decided upon by the fat
ofthe President. If the American character may
be Judged by their conduct in this matter, they
are most Iamentabiy deficient in every feeling OF
honor and integrity. 1t is among themselves,
and from themselves, that have heard the state.
ments which represent them as treacherous and
false almost beyond beiefin their intercourse with
the unhappy Indians. Had |, during my resi-.
dence in the United States, observed any single
feature in their national character that could JUS
tiy their eternal boast Of liberality and the love
of freedom, might have respected them, how.
ever much my taste might have been offended
by what was peculiar in their manners and Gus
toms. But it is impossible for any mind OF COM
mon honesty not to be revolted by the contradc-
lions in their principles and practice. They in
weigh against the governments OF Europe, BECAUSE
as they say. they favor the powerful and Cypress
the weak. You may hear this detained upon 10
Congress, reared out in taverns, discussed in eve
ny drawing room, satirized upon the stage. nay.
even mathematical from the pulpit: listen to it,
and then look at them at home; you will see them
with one hand hosting the cap Of liberty. and with
the other Hogging their slaves. You will see them
one hour Iecturing their mob on the indefeasible
rights Of man, and the next driving from their
homes the children of the soil, whom they have
bound themselves to protect by the most solemn
treaties.

New Method Of Forging. or the stronger the
Stream, the easier TO get ouer.-The Arkansas
Gazette, Of the end instant, presents US with
the following description Of new mode OF pro-
Polling ferry boats. 1t is said to have been put
in successful operation at the new Ferry, recent
Iy established by a Mr.. Rover, across the Arkan-
sas River, near Little Rock. tits called Browns
patent improvement in the propulsion of terry
boats:
One end of rope or wire chain, Of sufficient
strength for the purpose, and long enough to
reach diagunally across the river, made fast on
one bank only, above the landing.place, at as
great height from the ground as practicable,
and extended to within few feet Of the Ferry-boat
IAN ordinary Ferry-fat.) to which the other end
of the rope or chain is connected by rope pass.
ing through pulleys at each end OF the boat, and
over the steering wheel and round the upper gun
vale, SO as to form an angle above the beat. Inc
main rope is kept out Of me water by three buoy
boats, built nearly in the form Of half circIe-a
greater or less number of which are required &C.
Cording to the width of the stream to be crossed.
The boat, suspended as it were by the rope in
this manner, is propelled diagonally across the
stream, by the force of the current operating on
lee-board, placed against the upper gun vale Of
the boat which is raised or lowered at pleasure
by means of wheel and pulleys. The boat,
when under way, lies quartering across the cur.
rent, with her bow up stream at an angle OF
about As degrees. The position OF the boat is
never changed-runnlng with one end foremost
in crossing the river and with the other foremost
when returning
The machinery of this improvement is very
simple, and the boat may be managed with per.
feet ease and safety by any stout intelligent lad
of IL or Is years old. One great advantage Of
it is. that the boat runs best where the current
is strong-aDy increase in the velocity OF the lat
ter giving additional speed to the former. We
crossed the river on this boat last week, when the
river was low and the current weak, and made
the trip over and back in between and MI
nutes. The river has since risen several ieet
which has produced.a stronger current, and we
understand the average trips this week have been
from to minutes, and no doubt. by a little I'M
proyemeot which we understand Mr.. Rover in.
tends making, the time required tor trip, across
and back. may be reduced to three minutes.
Some hundreds Of persons have crossed in
Mr.. Rover's boat since she has been in operation,
and every one, we believe, is perfectly satisfied
thai this plan is greatly superior to the old mode
of Ferrying, or, indeed to any other improvement
requiring 50 little manual labor and expense, and
is adapted to all Ferries, where there is no eddy
on either side.
