upon that box. The white man, how
ever, after looking upon it for a mo-
ment, passed on. and chooses the box
of books and papers. The red mans
turn came next, and you may be sure
he seized with joy, upon the bows and
arrows, and tomahawks. AS to the
black man, he had no cheice left, but to
put up with the box o. tools.
"From this tits clear that the Great
Spirit intended that the white man
should learn to read and write, 10 un-
derstand all about the moon and stars,
and make every thing, even rum and
whiskey. That the red man should
make first rate hunter and mighty
warrior, but he has not to learn any
thing from books as the Great Spirit
had not given him any; nor was he to
make rum and whiskey, lest he should
kilthimself with drinking. AS to the
black man, as he had nothing bu: work
ing tools, it was clear he was to work
the white and red man, which he has
continued to 90.
We must 90 according to the wishes
OF the Great Spirit. or we shall get in
to trouble. To know how to read and
write. is very good for. white men but
yerv bad for red men. ltmnkes white
men better. bu! red men worse; some
nf the Greeks and Cherokees learnt to
read and write, and they are the great
est rascaIs among the Indians. They
went on to washington, and said they
were going to see their great father, tn
talk about the good of the nation.--
And when they all got there, they all
wrote upon aittIe piece ofpaper, with
our the nation at home knowing any
thing about it. And the first thing
the nation at home knew of the matter
they we're called together by the In
dian agent who showed them little
piece OF paper which he told them was
il treaty, which their brethren had made
in their n me, with their great father
ut Washington. And as they knew
not what treaty was, he held up The
little piece of paper, and they looked
under it, and 10! it covered Il great ex-
tent ofcountry and they found that
their brethern, bv Rowing how to read
and write, had sold their houses. and
their lands, and the graves of their
fathers; and that the white man BY
knowing how to read and write had
gained them. Tell our Great Father
at Washington, therefore, that we are
very sorry we cannot receive teachers
among US; for reading and writing.
though very good for white men, is
very bad for lndians.'

GOVERNMENT FORMED IN OREGON.

We have mentioned before that the American
residents in Oregon Territory had formed them
selves into government. for mutual protection
A letter from the Territory, giving an account of
this movement, states as follows:
ga general meeting of the whole settlement was
called by committee appointed for that purpose,
said committee being chosen by a respectable num-
ber of the people who were convened upon an.
other occasion. When the time of meeting arr-
we'd, the settlement came together, and the Cana
dian Frenchmen, servants to the Hudson's Bay
Company, declined participating in the proceedings
Of the day. The American part of the settlement
then went forward, and formed themselves into a
government for present purposes, with a view to
deliver up to the government of the United States
all our documents and all our authority, whenever
the said government shall pursue the same course
with US as with other Territories on their frontier,
viz: pass an ordinace and appoint us Governor,
&C., thus organizing us into Territory of the Uni
ted States"
