than taking up the vile girls on Broadway
Young men they ought not to be called, as some
Of them arc far worse than any sayages of the
Wild wilderness. Worse even than brutes they
ought to be called by the public, if the crimes
were known that they have perpetratcd on cery
voung, innocent females. We said worse, be.
cause the male brute quadfupeds are never known
to form companies and combinations 10 torture
the opposite seq, to compel subsection to more
than brutal desires. Young females are thus Sc.
deced by these wretches, and then, when their
victims from exposure become public girls, the
wretched creatures are punished in the Tombs,
aud the worse than villains are permitted 10 go
at large!
BY the common law, when young, strong
fellow is following nothing for living bat loafer-
ing and idleness, he is Uagrant, and liable to
the penalty. But should one of these fellows be
brought up by his friend the Constable to the Pc.

progress in vileness, to the disgrace of New
York and its Police, and to the extreme morrill,

Now it may be asked, under which Of the CIV
ilized monarchies OF the world, whether Christian
or Turkish, or whether under the government Of
the american Sduages, young females are SO in
secure in their persons as in this City, infested
By those wretches with "red shirts and human
forms7
And what, too, are we 10 say of many young
Members of the Bar, who, when the poor young
creatures are giving testimony that would make
the heart Of Benevolence and Justice sick, are
found enlisting themselves on the part of the
welLknown wretches, and browbeating the poor,
violated girl, until the guilty end, by the tschni-
eQhty Of la,o, is thus enabled to escape. Oh!
Nineveh aud Sodom how many degrees less
deep in guilt and wickedness is now this once

TIE CHERoksEs.-The capacity of the North
American Indians is being, if it has not already
bsen, satisfactorily tested in the Of the Che.
rokee nation. To say nothing Of the physiolo-
gcal fact, that the brain of the Indian, even un.
stimulated by education. gives evidence of a men.
tai power and activity only inferior to that Of the
purely white mantle Anglo-Sa1on stream from
Caucasus (oh, hoo our friend, DR.. Mcdowell,
waxets eloquent on this subject .)-the fact Of
their possession of al alphabet invented by one
Of themselves-the fact that the aboriginal mind
is capable not only of understanding and esti-
mating the value of that an-subduing sovereignty
conferred By kno ledge, but capable, also, of in
Dsnting-the means of appropria!ing and diffns-
Ing its benefits among the red men, proves that
the words savage and sympathy may be closely
associated, and invests the future Of the forest
children with redoubled intest. We open the
Cherokee Advocate and look Though lis columns
with the deepest so!icitude, and never do we lay
1t down without pleasing evidences That their ca
reer is still onward and apncrd. A second pa
per, we perceive, has been STATED, though we
have rot as yet, received it, and the Bible, laws
and intelligence are diffusing their light in every
direction Mr.. Ross, the Editor Of the Advo-
cate, says:
"Tahlesuah, the place where we hail, is situated
some eighteen miles east of Fort Gideon. Itbecame
the seat of Government of the Cherokee nation in
1889, after the reunion Of the Eastern and Western
branches of the Cherokee family"
After it became the scat of Government,
number of 'log cabins were thrown up about
the place, without, however, much regard to Or
der, as they were designed for the temporary &C.
commodation OF those engaged in the transaction
of public business. But regular town having
been laid off last winter, and number of lots sold
TO citizens of the nation, these cabins will be re.
moved and others built, which will present bet
ter appearance. A few houses have, however,
been already erected, and others are in contem
pation, of the jam up kind,
The Supreme Court has just opened lis annual!
session in q new and commodious brick Court
House, which, in point of neatness and durability
is surpassed By no building of the kind in Ar.
kansas. And here it is that the Bile Society
hold their regular meetings, the last OF which is
spoken of as having been most interesting.
While however, we read these facts with de-

What history is conveyed in this little para:
graph The scoundrel Christian, the deceived
Savage, the civilized crime and the barbarian
Judgment.
The Cherokees, among themselves, We fear,
have but too many scurvy specimens OF the
white man, but they may look abroad upon us
with an eye OF not unmingled admiration. To
say nothing of our downright crime-cur daily
outrage Of every law, human and divine-atroci-
nes to which Indian cruelty is comparatively
o. esAueless-how must they regard the colo.
plooded malice and ISLANDERS conceived end
brought forth by that venomous hag-Party.
