We had determined to exclude all personality from
paper, but the and temper of of the for
eigners outrageous, that we cannot consent to
keep the fact from our friends. We have had other in
tmaons Of violent and abusive language, and the time
shall come when we shall call these daring slanderers
to public account.-EpIToR.
Mr.. Brent-SIR: have just heard that salaried
officer, while attending to his duties in the City Post
Office volunteered to call the Native American Asso-
citation "a pauper gang, and to say that they should
be transported for twenty-one years."
This man is the of foreigner. state this fact
that the natives may know how radical and permanent
is the prejudice and feeling among the foreigners, when
brought into opposition to American principles. The
same spirit that would in individual prompt him to
utter such slander against body Of honorable men,
would induce the whole foreign party to tradnce the
doctrines of the American Government and overthrow
the principles of American liberty. One question
will put: are the communications TO the Native Anne
rican safe when there is reckless in the dis
tribuion Office of the Post Office Department! And
are the interests of felow-citizens safe when we
have such men in power! And the archives of the
Government themselves safe when in the custody OF
men violently and personally opposed to the institutions
of our country? AMERlCAN.

COMM UNICATIONS
THE a GLOBE.


IF it be the wish of the Globe to detach from the
administration party, its friends who belong to the
Native American Association, tell that paper it
will not succeed. But should the administration
evince the disposition Of the Globe, to encourage
foreign influence in this country, to prefer the eleva
on in government, Of foreigners to native citizens
and in the end to subject country to foreign rule,
the Globe may assured, the spirit that hurled
the elder Adams from power, will again be seen walk
ing abroad in the land conquerng and to conquer.
There is in this people audable, and abiding, and
saving jealousy, which will not tolerate any admin
stration that ords grounds to be suspected Of
partality foreign influence and forms of

present administration entetains such feelings the
tone Of the Globe to the contrary, Notwithstanding

can party. all the members whereofit gratutousy calls

regret, already perceive the same spirit which ac-
uated Arnold, the members of the Essex unto of the
Hartford Convention, and those men also who wished
to saddle us with monarchical form Of government,
predominant not only in many private individuals, but
in Editors of Public Journals, many Of which have
stood high in the estimation of the American people
As melancholy proof of this fact, we have only to
refer the opposition Of the Globe itself to our efforts
to avert foreign influence and foreign nomination.
''Thou that preachest, man should not steal dost
thou steal it very i'll becomes the Globe TO preach
against foreign principles and foreign influence, whilst
by condemning the PRINCIPLES Of association, il
proves itself guilty Of the very thing it breaches
against.
These Tory spirits anxious for the exercise Of for

'The very cry against the influence of foreigners"
says the Globe; .comes from many who are aliens by

every period Of our history, there have been Native
Americans less to American interests-posse
less Of American principles and American patriotism,
than many aliens by birth. Such foreigners these

true hearted native, as friends and brothers.

figure, whence all superhuous flesh is
worn down, exhibits the most beautiful
developement of muscle and power
He is said to be inexhaustible at the ball
play, an exercise so violent that the
struggle for mastery has been known to
cause the death Of one of the combat
tants. When this occurs in contest,
the survivor is not punished for murder,
as in all other cases Of taking life. On
one occasion, Oseola acted as guide to
a party of horsemen, and finding that at
starting they proceeded slowly, he in
quired the cause. On being told that it
was on his account, with one of those
smiles which he alone can give, he bade
them proceed more rapidly. They put
their spurs to their steeds, and he, afoot,
kept upwith them during the entire route,
nor did he exhibit the slightest symptoms
Of fatigue at the close Of the day, but ar
rived at the point proposed as early as
the mounted body.
Oseola has two wives, as is common
with the Indians, but they are rare Trig-
amists. His two better halves live in
perfect harmony, having one table 10
common, but occupying separate lodg-
es. They are both young and comely.
One of them is particularly pretty.
They yield passive obedience to his vig-
orous intellect and expressions, which
partake of the character of his mind
His words are very few, but opposite.
At the conclusion Of the talk, | have
sketched his mein, and manly bearing.
His address is courteous and affable, and
his smile is witchery. Like most In
dians he is fond of joke, the opinion
that savages are always grave being err
roneous. His shake of the hand, like
every thing from him, leaves lasting
impression and if there be not vice
in his fingers, he has vicious way of
holding them. Oseola is generally am
bilious, and, like other Indians, revenge
full lea taliomis' being their bloody
code. His conduct, like that of more
civilized men, is made up Of mixed mo-
tives; having just enough of the salt Of
patriotism to preserve the character
from the taint of our corrupting selfish
ness.

FERTILITY OF TEXAS.

The Buffalo Journal contains an in
teresling letter from this quarter The
bottom lands on the Brassos river are
stated to be clothed with rich soil and
abundant growth of fine timber, which
latter extends from three to six miles
from the river, when you strike the prai-
ries, which resemble naked, boundless
barren, like the trackless ocean. On
their growth Of grass subsist i'm
5mense herds of cattle, horses, mules;
some of them amounting to 10000
The animals are marked. In the win
ter, for better feed, the cattle retire into
the bottoms, from whence they come out
in the spring. Cotton and corn are
produced in great abundance, but the
country about the bottoms and towards
the sea coast is pronounced unhealthy,
chiefly from the badness of the water
the inhabitants being obliged to use
bayou or cistern water. Farther west
and north, the country is undulating, or
rolling. interspersed with wood or prai-
rie land, gurgling brooks, pure springs,
and streams Astounding 10 fish. The
Colorado (meaning colored or red,) is a
misnomer, as its waters are Of limpid
transparency, equal to those of Lake
George, in New York. The lands here
are less productive than about the river
Brassos, but the climate is infinitely more
healthy. There is no snow, and the
earth never freezing over an inch or two
in depth, does not even affect the pota-
toes left in the ground. The forests are
clothed in verdant foliage, and the prai-
ries in perennial bloom throughout the
year.
A rather sorry picture is given Of Col
umbia, the seat Of Government, which
must be taken with some grains OF all
Iowapce. The scenes OF gambling,
drinking, &C., we believe. exaggerated.
