The following article from the Western Ad.

The following article from the Western Ad-
'venturer. ispreceded by the letter of the Edi-
tor of the Peoria Register, experimenting Indie
an difficulties, will give quietus to that story.
and, we hope, guard the editor from again be-
ing deceived by the Indian traders, and used
as means Of retarding emigration to our Terri
tory, in order to further their interests or ac-
complish their unjust ends.
Since reading the above letter, we have had ar
interview with General BLACK Hawk, who is now
at this place, & who perhaps, knows the Indians
well as any man living OH the Mississipyi.' Mr..
Phelps, Of Oquawka not expected. On explain
ing to him the purport of the letter, through one
we'll acquainted with him and his language, he
laughed heartily al the intelligence. AS to the fail
ure of the Gov eminent to meet the demands of the
Indians, the statment is correct. keokuk &other
chefs did 60 down to St Louis to procure theiran-
nuities-but received none. But, as TO the opinl-
or of Mr.. Davis, that the Ind ans are incensed
as to be on the pon, Of Utilities. we have every
reason to believe it to be entirely without founda
lion. There was rumor of some Expectations
having been committed on Skunk River--stwo or
three white familias driven off, &c.-and Capt.
Brown, with company of Dragons, was sent 10
qnall the disturbances. But we would remind the
writer OF TINS letter, mat tnesS tnSS LOOK plaza IN
May--two months before tho Indians knew tina,
the Government had failed :! This then could
not have been the cause fthe dissatisfaction at
that time. The disturbances on the Iowa, if we
mistake not, resulted from a misunderstanding be-
tween the Indians and the settlers, about the occu-
pancy ofther cornhelds-so long ago asco-n -plant-
ing.
Black Hawk Gays that there is no g,o,n,;l for any
apprehension of hosilites on their part VIVA tsver,
OH any quarter. And, as to the imaginary uncon-
trolled anger Of tho tribe, he says that while keo-
kuck is restraining the sacs Oh the Des Moines,
he, himself old, and in firm, and divested of pow
CIR, as is-can very easily curb all the passion
ate outbreakings that will ever be manifested by
the Foxes OH the Iowa. He further says that he
long since, shook hands with sths Government,'
g. pledged, forhimselfand his nation, to matnain
amcable relations for the future.
|, is well known ON the Upper Mississippi, that
these annoities do not long remain in the hands of
the lndans--that they pledged to traders a
nong them, long before they become due. So,
that if there is any danger of shostiity' existing
any where, it is with these traders who, perhaps,
feel the effects ofthis Noncompliance on the part
of the Government, more than the Indians them
selves.

The above corroborates statement made
in the Mineral Point Free Press, that Mr.. AL

tive Council from Brown county had resigned.
We would unite with the Democrat in express
ing regret at his resignation; Mr. F.. has pub
lished short address to the Electors of the
County of Brown, stating his reasons for this
to be that some might think the ground taken
by Zone One" "a correspondent the Wis
consin Democrat, which commended that the
members had, by their own acts, voluntarily
resigned their seats) tenable, he does not wish
to represent his constituents under any doubt
full authority, therefore he has resigned.
Inasmuch as the reasons adduced by "One
One" are dsregarded by all the other men,
bers of the Council, and among our citizens
we hear no dissatisfaction, we consider it as
an insufficient reason to cause the resignation
of any member; but as Mr.. E. fears some
might think the ground taken by ''One One"
tenable, we would be pleased to see him again
take the field, confident that the people Of
Brown county can but appreciate the talent.

department Of Mr.. E. made him many friends
last winter, who would dislike to see his place
filled by another; and as for ourselves we doubt
bu. Brown county would lose by any exchange
that could be made.

disappointed, and instead of charging will
De Obliged 10 lessen their operations and
the poor heather will cry in vain for the
word OF life. But to prevent this, let the
difheulty of raising funds excite TO greater
efforts. Let each do what he can. Let
those who can spare large amount, spare
1t now. Let no one ask to be excused from
doing all in his power. Let retrenchments
and sacrifices be made; retrenchments in
superauities, in luxuries, in food and appar-
ell, in buildings, furniture and eqnipage.-
But let no retrehchments be made in dona-
tons to benevolent institutions. We have
not heretofore done what we should; we
must do more. Some, by reason Of embar-
easements, may not be able to do as much al
formerly; but as body we are undoubted-
ly bound to do more. The associations and
convention in the State of Vermont cheer
fully adopted resolutions last year recon-
mending the raising of funds to be paid over
to the treasurer Of the state convention. to
be forwarded by him to the treasurer of the
A. F. B. S. But the collections, which
should have been made last autumn or win
ter, are yet delayed. 1t is earnestly request
ed that they may be made before the meeting
Of the convention in October; and that if it is
not possible, now, to raise as large an amount
as might have been done in the proper sea-
son, that such an amount may be raised as
will comport with the known ability and
liberality of the denomination in this State.
AS the book Of the Treasurer of the Yer
mont State Convention must be cucumber
ed with a variety Of accounts, | would sug-
gesl for consideration whether it will not be
best to form Bible Society in the bounds
OF each association, which shall be auxiliary
to the A. F. B. s. In that case each church
may raise money in its usual way, and for,
ward it to the treasurer Of this auxiliary, tc
he sent by him directly to the Parent Socie-
ty. Should this be Judged advisable these
societies may be formed at the sitting of the
associations, and hold their annual meetings
at the same time; or which I think much
preferable, some time in the winter. Since
it is desirable to avoid the expense Of agen
cies as far as possible, and the territory as
signed to the writer extends over severa
whole states, and parts OF others, it is ear
nestly requested that pastors, deacons, ant
other influential brethren will take meas
ures to raise what duty may demand at thu
present time, and in future.

4th. But they also have erred through ,ctne,
and through strong drink are out Of the way: the
priest and the prophet have erred through strong
drink: they are st0dllO,Oed up of ,oi,1e they are
out Of the way through strong drink: they err in
vision, they stumble in judgement. lisa. xviii.
II seems that the sin of using strong
drink, had taken deep root among all classes
of people, from the highest to the lowest
Those who ministered in Holy things were
partakers in this guilt. 1t appears plain,
from The declaration Of the prophet that the
use of strong drink did then cause men to
err In judgment. 1t clouded their vision, so
that they were not as competent judges in
certain cases, as those who did not use it.
1t also appears PLAIN that there was guilt
attached to using it. 1t appears also from
other history, that in all ages Of the world
alcohol has been looked upon as rather a
suspicious character, and was not considered
safe to be entrusted to any but men of
good standing in society. 1t was found ne
cessary in the early ages of his history, to
keep the Tiger chained and none but re-
sponsible men were allowed to be his keep
ers. In many cases none but the professed
servants Of God could have the charge OF
alcohol. -
AS it was in old time, so it is now, in
some measure, with ministers and other
professed followers of Christ in regard to
sanctioning the use Of strong drink. We
do not see much Of it in this region, but we
see it in other places, by accounts given in
publications Of the day. Bishop Hopkins,
of Burlington, asserted, not long since, in
printed document that the triumph Of tenn
perance principles would be triumph OF
iafdelity. This found charged to him in
public journals, and have not seen it con-
tradicted.
For proof that ministers Of the Gospel
still give their sanction to the use Of alco
holic liquors as drink, the hearer is refer
rcd to an article written by L. M. Sargent
Esqr. Those who are acquainted with hi:
writings will know what weight to place
upon his statements. The following arr
: extracts from that article, found in the Jour
nal of the American Temperance Union 10
June 1887.
