Taking advantage Of the opportunity afforded by
a smsH boat, of admirable constru ,tion and rig,
VIC started from Doty leland for the Stookbidge Set
tleme.it. Two bours of beautiful sailing took us
to the landing place, and we were speedily istro-
duced TO the sachem, Mr.. Joseph NJ Quincy, his
brother, Mr. Austin Quincy, Mr.. John Metoxen,
and other msgnares of the nation.
The nation at present numbers about 300 souls;
they located in perhaps the most beautiful stua
tion for health, beauty, and productiveness in the
United States Alas with such advantages, they
are about to quit this second Eden. All commuai-
ties have their schisms and diff ,ultes and the poor
remnant Of this once powerful nation are not an
exception to the general lot 1t appears that tho
Indian proper cannot ALLEVIATE his land This ope
ration can only BIO carried out by the whole nation

nationality, and becomes citizen. the whole case
is altered ano. by the inherent rights Of Citizen

people 10 secure the fecting advantages Of porni-

oily get rid Of their only property-their land The
intelligent and educated lesdere, such as arc men,
toned above, can plainly soc in this fatal operation
the ultimate poverty, misery. and obstruction OF
their country men, and are anxious to move beyond
the temptations of selfish and unprincplod whites,
whose sole object is to obtain the Indians land at
g low price. To Gerry out tbis patriotic pr ,ect,
they have deterDipod to give up their beautiful snd
valuable, but dangerous loo stion and have nocltiat

Before taking leave Of this cxquisitoly beautiful
