troops. Bya treaty spotted all over with
faud and treacheIy, these abused and
helpless Indians are to be driven fro n their
peaceful cabins from fields, which We
good Christians have been trying to teach
them to cultivate; and from their fathers
se2ulchres, that the plough of the white
man may mark his title upon them. HUI
mainly sickens at the outrage, and her
heart beats with agony as though it would
burst its easements. The general govern
ment proposes in the last resort conditions
of mercy and amicable adjustment. The
State of Georgia, more savage than the
aborigines, deies the general government
and disdains all propositions of mercy
These wretc he'd people then must go. 1t
would seem as though no earthly power
could avert their melancholy fate; and
page Of our national history, as black as
ever disgraced theannaIs of mankind, must
then remain to exhibit the horrid and
blood Y triumphs of a treacherv never sur

an lnhuman abuse Of power unrivalleG in

They HAVE THEIR REwARD.-A por-
ton Of the southern press, looks upon the
Philadel phia incendiaries with a patron
Izing air, and gives them nice sugar
pIurn, for their zeal an! patriotism, in
throwing PENNSYLVANIA principles as a
propitiarv sacrifice upon the altar OF south
prn slavery. We cut the following scrap
from the Richmond Compiler. The itaI-
Kissing is our own:
with regard to the burning of Penn
svlvania Hall, the event is to be regrett-
ed but at the same time, exhibits the out
burst Of an indignation, sprln9ing from
the highest sense of justice and pride, a
) feeling worthy Of Americans-a sense o.
; ,ohat is due to thea southern brethren and
to their own dignity. We hail the event,
painful as it is, as an index Of the proper
state of public sentiment, on the subject
Of abolition at the North. "-PennsyLra

Mr. John T. Dingley, of this city, was
i drowned in the back bay, near the crossing

Of those deep holes which have been made
