INDIANS IN THE SOUTH.

Tho policy of Indian removal, and their
concentration on the frontier Of the South
Western States is beginning 10 be understood
throughout the Country. The representa-.
tons Of Mr. Garland in Congress, on behalf
Of Louisiana, deserve tho most serious con-
sdcra,on. We presented a similar view OF
this subject some months since, and public al.
ten,ion is now tardjiy awaking TO its impor-
s,ncc. The following article from the Penn.
sy'vania Sentinel will be read with interest:
awe are no, surprised that the representa-.
,ives IN Congress, from the South Western
State, have come ont in opposition to the
yolcy Of our government in settling all the
Indian tribes within our borders, n, Tie South
West. a large body Of Indians have been
already gathered there. They arc in the i'm.
mediate vicinity of great warI'kc and unsub
dued tribes, fnm whom. in case Of war with
the whites. they would receive great assis.
lance. The country also, being prairie, en-
abcs them on their horses. the wild stccds Of
the desert. to dart upon The American settle.
menis and retreat in safety In case of con.
fict with the whites. our military posts and
military preparations on the frontier, would
be insufficient 10 withstand the Indians. They
would probably burst down upon the settle
ments. Here they wo1ld free the slaves.
massacre the whites and desnlaic the country
as they progressed. Such an invasion, aided
by scrvie instruction. could not be with.
stood by the ordinary military resources Of
the Soull, Western States; and the whole Of
tina, portion Of the Union might fall into the
hands ola mongrel and savage foe. The his.
tory of the Indian race is not yet told. The
day ofretributIon may yet come. The Indian
race may yet be enabled. with the aid of the
negroes, ,ol wrcak bloody vengeance on
their oppressors, to reclaim portion Of their
most fertile territory, and drive the pale faces
from the graves Of their fathers. We know
that intelligent men at the South West, have
regarded the policy of government. in conso-
idatng the Indians in large and formidable
masses on our weakest frontier, almost suci.
deal. Their upeasness is not without cause
and we heartily unite with them in dcpreca-
ting The rcnol al of The hardy tribes Of North
West to the same point of concentration. II
