w can see no reason why Sucn n STATE
Il thing. should exist. A willing ond an
honest heart need not seek labor in vain:
md labor, we may add, is the true and
only source of wealth and comfort. We
know Of no pursuit, so enrolling 70 the
human mind, so calculated TO make man
what his Maker created him for, so in.
dependent OF ali other pursuits, and. in
fine, so honorable and respectable us that
Of agriculture.
The human mind. when confined with
IN the pent up walls Of a city, exercises
but limited sphere to that Cor which i,
was intended; while IN the open country.
where the greatness Of God. where the
beauties Of nature are visible, there it |
is that the mind Of man becomes ennobled |
there it is tlat he truly becomes tsiord |
Of the soil" Why is it then tina, SO
many are 10th to engage in pursuit Of
this kind? Why is it that SO great por-
ton 81 our population seek to obtain the
comforts Of life by slipping At the many
branches when tho great river itself is |
open alike TO all? The truth is that the
public mind has been more or 'ess dernng
ed. \ mere bubble has fed our ci,izcps
for the few past years. and now that that
bubble has burst, many OF them have be.
come mere. droncs in this earthly hive.
INDIANS COMING INTO ruE WHITE
SETTLEMENTS.
We have learned from citizen resi-.
ding in the upper part Of the county, TINT
the Sac aud Fox Indians have been per-
Enitted by the Govcrnorio occupy. and
hpnt -on the Islands in the Mississippi
river during tho coming winter; and thas
the greater part Of The nation haxe been
collcctihgon 'he' Islands opposite and
near Oquaka for the last Two weeks.
This appears to u. as very singu
lar move on the par, Of our Executive,
and we fear will result in. serious diff
culties. There have Lcen complaints
already that the Indians have stolen
more or less hogs belonging to citizens
in tho immediate lcighborhood Of their
cncampmens, and If such be the casc diff.
| Gculties must ensuc.
In our own opinion, we think the Ind,.
ans ought not. 10 be permitted 10 come
into the white settlements at NIL, aid
have admired the course heretofore pur-
sued By the Governor in that particular
but for what reason this course should
be abandoned VIC are truly at losslc
conjecture. One thing is certain that oul
citizens will no. quietly submit 10 the in
trusions oil the Indians; and certain also
I is. it that the Indians cannot remain il
i tie midst Of the white settlements with
out committing more or less dcprcda
tons.
! 1.-THE Governor has given permit Il
the Indians, it ought to be revoked inmc.
d'ateIy. and if he has not they ough, ,e
DC removed as soon as possible, and sem
back to their own country

| Tue WEArnER.-The fall season thu.
fur has been one Of the p!casantest We
have ever seen; and unlike the Eastern
Autumns there has been little or no rait
since the close Of summer. Whc,h
Mil'er's prophecy is about to be fulfilled
aud the earth is drying up preparatory
to being burnt; Or whether Professor Es
Ply has by his experiments in the East
attracted the clouds from their natural
course, we will not undertake 10 inform
our readers; but that there is \ prca,
drought hereabouts, our housewives do
most conscientiously believe, inasmuch
as their cisterns ara at low water mark.
and their meal chests prescn, a pov-
crty stricken appearance. But be this
as it may the much dreaded month, No
vember, was this year ushercd in by a
bland, balmy, spring like day, and now, in
stead Of having to grid our coaks ayains,
the blasts Of old Borcas, we are ENJOYING
one Of the mos: delightful '.lndian sum
mers'' imaginable.
