Auk hlkNDLi lNpLAN XRIBkS.-1 NERO Is, tlS
year, very large representation of the red men of
the forest, at the seat of the national government
Several tribes have sent delegates TO Washington,
for the purpose of cementing lasting friendship
between their nation and the great father of the
pale faces, as they call the President of the Uni
ted States. The tribes our South Western
borders, have manifested the most friendly feel
ing towards the United States, and have sent on
their chiefs to give intimation of their amicable
disposition towards us.
Among those who have sent representatives to
Washington, are the Camanches, the Miamis,
the Cherokees, and the Kansas Indians. We are
glad that these delegations have been sent, as the
visit will tend to impress those unsophisticated
sons Of the desert with some idea of the strength,
civilization and importance of the United States,
and will furnish them with a theme for expatia-
ting upon to their brethren at home, thus serving
to inspire them with respect for our nation.
This binding Of the Indian tribes in a treaty Of
friendship with the United States, will be an as
surance ofstrength to this country, in time war,
that will have very material influence on our
success in prosecuting hostilities with foreign
nation Hitherto chief reliance Of European
nations, when threatening war with the United
States, has been the facility with which they pro-
missed themselves they could stir up the Indian
tribes against us. Now those same European
powers will be less likely to "dig up the hatchet"
when they learn that the Indian tribes our bor-
ders are our friends and allies.
The red man has been treated by us
with more kindness and consideration than
by any other nation on this continent
Our missionaries have won them by de-
grees from barbarism to civilization, and the
fruits of this kindness and attention are daily
manifesting themselves in tho increased friendli-
ness of the Indians. They will cling to no other
nation with the same cordialty as to the United
States, and their friendship, in time Of need, is by
no means to be despised.
THE BowERY THEATRE.-It is almost umeces-
sary to state that the worthy manager Of the Bow
cry Theatre is not indebted to this establishm
to the amount Of single copper. We mention
this in justice to Mr. Jackson, because it has been
stated somewhere that he was in our debt. We
never presented bill to him the second time
INTELLIGENCE FROM CANADA AND THE PROVINCES.
Our advices from Montreal are of the 9th, from
Quebec ofthe 25th, and from Toronto of the 23d
instant, all inclusive.
The Canadian papers seem to be altogether at
Idtut us 10 ulc OIcuklHS up Ol TIC AhuIsuy. ~
seems certain, however, that Mr.. Sherwood has
resigned, that Mr.. Papineau goes out, and that
Sir Allen McNab is TO be Adjutant General.
The Montreal Herald of the 9th, complains Bit
terly of the ignorance displayed by the English
Parliament with regard to Canadian affairs. This
is, at the present crisis, very significant 1t does
not threaten separation, but speaks of the policy
of the English government as calculated to lead to
such an event. " recommends the following
three modes of relief for the evils resulting to
Canada from the passage of the corn bill:-
First the remission Of the interest the capital
pended public works Second, the entire repeal
Of the duty exports of granand third the re-
moval Of all commercial restrictions in favor of British
manufactures and modification Of the navigation
laws, by which foreign shipping may be permitted to
transport produce to the home markets.
1t adds:
Soi-disanf friends Of Canada have lately appeared at
home in great numbers; let them show their since
rty Let Lord George Bentnck propose the abolition Of
derenta duties let Lord Stanley the removal of
the s per quarter levied upon our gran and let
little Roebuck-or the proposal somewhat Of
dcalsm, though perfectly just in iact-see he cannot
obtain the remission Of the interest debt until the
great experiment before is fairly tried; and If these
measures be carried, we shall be satisfied that all
has been done for which the principles Of frecrade
now in vogue will admit Of.
