CREEK NATION, June II, 1888

Sir: 1t is with feelings Of regret that the under
signed chiefs of the Creek nation, have had in
terpreted to them report in your paper Of May
3Oth, stating that the Creek Indians show but lit
tie disposition to plant corn and that in several
instances they have destroyed their own fences;
and that the old women have been heard to de-
clare that soon as the green corn is fit TO pull,
the whites must look out; and that most of them
carry the marks of determined vengeance in their
countenances; and that this report has come
through so respectable a source as to leave no
doubt of the fact, as it was given by gentleman
who has been for several years assisting in the
emigration of Indians west. That great portion
of the Greeks have been removed at the point of
the bayonet, is but too true; and that there is a
dissatisfaction among them, is also true; yet they
look up to the Government for the tulhlment Of
the promises their agents have made them. When
that is done, all will be right with the Muscogee
people: and until that is done, they will not con-
slider themselves fairly dealt with. And, SO any
disposition to hostilities among us, we know no
thing of it, neither has the first rail of fence been
broken, nor have we heard any thing of the old
women's report, that the white people must look
out soon as the green corn gets ripe. The
Muscogee nation have, at this time, as good a
prospect for good crop of corn, considering the
late spring and the small quantity of farming
tools, as they ever had. The gentleman who was
the origin Of this report was mistaken, and we
should like for you to give his name, as we know
of no one who has been recently in the Greek
nation, who has been employed, for years, in the
emigrating Of Indians; and we the undersigned
chiefs do declare the report Of hostilites against
the whites to be utterly untrue. They have too
much love for their wives and children to cherish
such an idea for moment.
The Creek delegation on their arrival at Van
Buren, in Crawford county, Arkansas, were told
to their surprise, of the report in circulation abou
the Creeks, and some attempts were made to stop
them, until the facts could be ascertained; ye
through the influence Of some friends, they were
permitted to continue home; and they take plea
sure in announcing to their Arkansas brothers
and the world, that the report is all false, anc
hope that you will give this true statement il
your paper.
Il With respect, we are your friends and brothers

From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.
A CONSISTENT REPUBLICAN.

The New York Wing says that Mr.. Adams
lately walked into the ordinary of the Astor
House, at the dinner hour, and very quietly
took his seat at the table, apparently unknown
TO all present. The gentleman next to him en-
tered into conversation with the venerable
we will not say ex-president, but statesman and
patriot, which continued ill dinner was ended
After Mr.. Adams had retired, the neighbor Of the
gentleman who had conversed with him asked,
DO you know who that man was!'
No, for the life of me, can't remember He
came once into my store, and asked me how
many ellis were in yard. Who is he? said the
gentleman.
'That was John Quincy Adams"
WHO is he! never heard Of him BEFORE" said
the gentleman.
He was the President of the United States"
president! don't remember When!' asked
the gentleman, scratching his occiput.
Who this gentleman could have been, we
know not And if we did, we should conceal
his name in mercy to his reputation; for not to-
know much of John Quincy Adams. indicates
degree of ignorance of public events for the last
thirty years, Of which we had supposed no .4mc-
rican could boast
But the principal point of the story is the re-
publican simplicity of this truly great man. He
appears no where, and does nothing, with a
flourish of trumpets, or the hustle of preparation
Like the lightning, which gives no warning of
its flash, and shows its power by its effect on
whatever it strikes, Mr.. Adams always appears
suddenly, and shows his strength on every SUBJ
ject with which he grapples.
This either foolish aectation, or ignorance unde-
serving respectable notice.

The Republican of the 2Gth ult. has short
article about Capt. Marryat the Gin. Wing, for
eigners, &C., which contains more error than we
would have supposed could be we'll crowded into
so few lines
The Republican thinks it quite morfying that
intelligent Americans should manifest any sensi-
tiveness on account of what foreigners may think
or say of US people, of our institutions.
In this we beg leave to differ from our neighbor
So far from its being mortifying that Americans
resent the, insults heaped upon them and their in
stitutions by foreigners, we think it highly COM
mendable for them to do SO, and nothing more
than the exhibition of proper love and respect
for their country and countrvmen If we had
more national pride, and were invariably to treat
the insolence of presumptuous foreigners with
meried indignation, we should be annoyed much
less by their arrogance, insults, and ridiculous
assumptions of superiority.
There is nothing we more deest than the fawn-
ing superciliousness, the obseqaious Difference,
the courtlng sycophancy, which many of our
countrymen invariably exhibit towards titled or
distinguished, foreigner.
They seem to feel that their own importance
or elevation in society materially depends upon
attracting the notice, or securing the association
of some foreign digntary-and if thew can elicit
a condescending nod or shake Of the hand bv a
Count or Prince, they are in raptures. Awav
with such a want of personal dignity. say we.
We are by no means opposed to treating meri-
forious foreigners of distinction, with attention
and high respect-but on the contrary, approve o
doing so. We ought however, never to carry
the thing so far, as manifestly to make ourselve
syeophants, or compromise our own dignity.
The Republican, also asserts, that '.an Eng
lishman does not care fig what foreigner say.
of his country" This sentiment is sgnally er
roneous. No people on earth, are more sensi
tive on this subject, than the English-and thi.
is fully proved by the violent attacks made b,
their Reviewers and other writer's, upon Coope
and Paulding, for their independent opinions re
specing the people of England and their Gus
toms.--Cin. IVhig.

A TREACHEROUS WIFE.

In the early part oflast winter, Mr.. R. Callen-
der, fur dealer, residing in New Orleans, Ger
man by birth, had occasion to leave that city on
a journey to Missouri. in the prosecution Of his
business, leaving his store, containing large and
valuable assortment Of furs, in the charge of his
wife, lady of exceeding beauty, and not half the
age of her husband. Upon concluding his busi-
ness, after an absence of several months, Mr..
Calender returned to New Orleans, and was
thunderstruck upon discovering that his store was
entirely stripped of his goods and shut up; and
that his wife had absconded with man belong
ing to the city, Of the name of Mark Samuel,
taking with them about $500 worth of his pro-
perty in furs, together with his wearing apparel.
furniture, &C., leaving him in state of despair.
Upon further inquiry, Mr.. Calender learned that
his young wife and her para mour had fled up the
river about fortnight previously, when he in
stantly pursued them to st. Louis At that place
he learned that the objects of his inquiry had left
a few days previous for the North, carrying away
with them the proceeds of nine bales of furs
which they had sold at Louisville. He then
continued his pursuit to this city, where the fugi-
tives were arrested yesterday, having in their
possession two bales of furs, of the value of
$500, undisposed of. The Lothario is lodeed
IN prison, and the Interesting young wife" placed
In state of security at the house of friend of
the sufferer, in the upper part of the CITY, Mr..
Mark Samuel is well remembered by the officers
OF the Police as an old receiver of stolen goods
and for various other little transactions in the
way OF trade.-N. Y. Herald.

Man?-The late John Thomas, one of the mis-
sionary brethren Of Serampore, one day ad-
dressing crowd of natives on the bank of the
Ganges, was accosted by Brahmin as follows:
: Sir, don't you say the devil tempts men to sin!'
Yes answered Mr.. Thomas. 'Then,' said the
Brahmin certainly the fault is the devil's the de-
vii, therefore, and not man, ought to suffer the
punishment. While the countenances of many
of the natives discovered their appreciation of the
Bramins inference, Mr.. Thomas observing boat
with several men on board descending the river,
with that facility of instructive retor for which he
was distinguished, replied, 'Brahmn, do you see
yonder boat yes Suppose were to send
some of my friends to destroy every person on
board, and bring all that is valuable in the boat;
who ought to suffer punishment, for instructing
them, or they for doing this wicked act?'
Why answered the Brahmin with emotion,
you ought all to be put to death together
'Ay, Brahmin,' replied Mr.. Thomas, 'and if you
and the devil sin together. the devil and you will
be punished together

THE MEN OF THE REVOLUTION.
MARSHALL AND WHITE. ...

We some days since alluded to the address de.
livered by James G.. Biddle, Esq before the so.
cieties of the Pennsylvania College at Gettys-
burg. We have since been favored with copy
and find that it fully sustains the high reputation
of its author. Indeed, it is a chaste, eloquent
and scholar-like performance, and admirably suit
ed to assembly Of young and patriotic Ameri-
cans. After giving brief but masterly view of
the character of Washington, Mr.. B. thus adverts
to two other pure and patriotic spirits of the Re-
voluon.-PhH. Ina.
1.-The American Revolution produced an un-
usual number Of great and good men. The study
of their lives the imitation of their example, may
well be inculcated on our rising youth as salu-
tary lesson. Two bright examples of illustrious
men, raised in the school of the Revolution, have
recently died in our own Commonwealth; Chief
Justice Marshall and Bishop White. Two purer
better, greater men, have rarely lived. Chief
Justice Marshall, impeled by youthful ardor, took
up arms and displayed great gallantry in the
revolutionary struggle; and Bishop White, Chap
lain of Congress, incurred all the danger that at
tended the issue of the contest. No Judge ever
displayed more patience, more learning, more
wisdom, more integrity, than Chief Justice Mar
shall. His expostions of the federal constitution
will survive him an invaluable testimonial Of
the great obligations he has conferred on his
countrymen. No prelate was ever more unpre-
tending, more digni6ed, more sincerely pious,
more extensively useful, than Bishop White
Both these excellent men were remarkable for the
simplicity of their manners. Bishop White pre-
sided at public meeting held in Philadelphia,
to do honor to the memory of Chief Justice Mar
shall. Truly. the choice was appropriate. A
few years before the death of Bishop White,
when political asperity was at its height, and an
election was conducted with more than customary
violence, the windows, at which the votes were
received, were crowded with dense mass of
contending citizens, so that il was difficult to
reach the polls; Bishop White was seen to ap-
proach-some one called out, Make way, here
comes Bishop White The crowd separated
spontaneously, and made lane for the aged
Christian to pass through. He reached the polls,
deposited his vote, returned and not hand was
pressed forward, save to aid him in ascending the
steps. No sooner was he beyond reach, than the
vacant space was eagerly occupied The exam
pie was salutary. beautiful illustration had
been afforded of the reverence all feel for long
life of exalted piety and active benevolence
Mankind, however they may scoff. respect reli-
gon. Hypocrisy has been beautifully called the
homage paid by vice to virtue.
MY young friends, select men like these for
your models;

Persevere in diligence; faint not in your aspira.

with Mary Ann Smith, his wife, absconded from
that city on Tuesday night, leaving number of
his friends minus to considerable amount. He
is said to be the most finished villain that ever
wore that name. He is an insignificant and pu-
sillanimous looking fellow, and follows the busi-
ness of moulding wax into flowers. The great
est loser by this arrant knave, is Miss Oldham,
a respectable young lady of Baltimore, whom he
induced to venture her all in his business, as a
partner, by which means they had opened hand

thing with him, not leaving behind one cent,

The RIGHTS OF WoMAN.-Some ladies have
distinguished themselves by declaimng against
the oppression OF woman, which they say exists
in our christian land. They say women are kept
in condition of inferiority to men, and that of
right they ought to be equal. We have been
thinking the matter over, and have come to the
conclusion that the wrong is quite the other way;
and that if rights ought to be divided half and half,
we should be for new division-not on the
ground upon which Miss Grimke goes, that men
are not women, or permitted to engage in wo-
mems occupations, but because, when the simple
question of superiority is at issue, the men always
have to give up. If ladies and gentlemen meet
on the side walk, who has to turn out? If
there are not seats enough for all the company,
who has to stand up? When there is danger to
face, who must 60 forward? If there is curiosity
to crafty, who goes behind! If there is too
much company for the first table, who eats at
the second? Who has always the right hand and
the most respectable position? We could men,
ton hundred other cases, in which, on the sim
pie question of right, every thing is yielded to
the women. But there are many cases in which
the condition of men is still worse For instance,
IT on any public occasion, pew at church, or
seat any where, be occupied by men ever so re-
spectacle or aged, smerky little beauty trips
along and presents herself at the top of the seat,
and they must all jump up and clear out as if they
had been shot. Especially ought it to be noticed,
that when matrimonial negotiations are to be
made the whole burden Of performing the delicate
and often very embarrassing part Of making pro-
posals, is thrown upon the men, while the wo-
men sit and say no, no, no, as long as they like
and never say yes until they have a mind to.

IMPORTANT TO PRINTERS.

we are happy to communicate TO our brethren
OF the press that we have found simple and
economical substitute for the ordinary ley used
ior washing types, and which is applied by a
method which does not deteriorate the letter so
much as the brush or swing trough does, and
clears away the INK far more efectually than
either. Recetpf-Pnt into close earthen ves-
sci two Scotch pints Of rain or river waters take
one pound OF caustic or unslacked lime, and one
pound OF pearl ashes, and mix them among the
water: cork the bottle and shake well for twenty
minutes; then lay it aside, and allow the ingre-
dients to settle. In the course of next day it
should be carefully poured out, quite transparent,
into another vessel, where it may be kept for use,
always taking care to secure it well from the ac-
tion of the atmosphere. Thus, an alkali of the
most powerful kind is produced; the application
of which, while it cleans off the ink and dissolves
picks on the letter. has not the slightest tendency
to inure the metal, as we have proved by nume-
rous experiments. 1t is used for washing Jobs,
&C., by being poured on small pice of sponge,
which should be firmly tied on a piece of stick,
like. mop, otherwise it will seriously inure the
fingers of the operator. After it has been once
laid on, the job is cleansed from the alkali by
dashing couple of pals full of water on it, We
may add, that half farthing's worth of this
ley will be sufficient to wash the largest FORM and
may be accomplished in five minutes. Afte
most satisfactory trial of twelve months we would
recommend it to the trade. Having felt its ad-
vantages, we are anxious that all our brethren
should participate in the benefit of our discovery.
