strict proh.bitOry features, and the care with
which it has been prepared to entirely cover
the evil designed to be remedied, aud at the
same time in no possible manner to infringe
upon law or constitution, seems 10 make il
popular with Temperance men.- For years
they have been zealously and perseveringy
laboring to prepare the public mind for law
of this nature, and to secure the legislative
power to make such law. AT last success
ful in obtaining the power, they concocted q
bill among themselves. which was reported
to the Senate through the joint committee
If this bill do not prove satisfactory, the tenn

but themselves. Much will depend upon
temperance men whether or not the expert

1t was supposed by the people of the State.
we believe generally, that modification Of
our State Naturalization Laws would be an
early subject of Legislation at the present
session of our General Assembly. The ques-
ton was universally mooted at the last cleo
ton, and although it produced little excite.
uent in the canvass, yet We believe there
was no more determined issue before the
people. 1t was confessed on all hands that
our naturalization laws were radically wrong,
and we believe that no man could be elected
to the Legislature Of our State who made the
present laws upon that subject an open issue
before the people. .-.ai..a .iasar sasss-3 .
/ The Legislature has been remorialized
from almost every section of the State, to
give this important error in our organic
laws, proper and speedy consideration. Why
it has been 80 carefully handled thus far, we
are ct loss to determine. There is proba.
bly, not an intelligent American citizen Of
foreign birth in our State, who is not opposed
to that provision of the Constitution admit
ting foreigners to the right of suffrage before
they shall have become citizens OF the United
States; and who does not feel the reproach
brought upon himself by the operations Of
this law. 1t is known to have been the in.
vention Of demagogues, whose only aspira'
tons were their own seli-aggrandizement.and
who were willing to barter away the sacred
spirit Of our national constitution and Of citi-
zenship, to secure little brief graft fica,ior
of their own personal ambition. We believe
that large majority of the people of Indi'
ana, without respect to party or nationality
are opposed to our present law Of naturali'
cation, and in favor Of making full citizenship
sine qua non to the exercise of the right o.
suffrage. We no not believe that the Trainer.
OF our National Constitution contemplated
the enjoyment of the right Of suffrage in any
person, or that any individual should aid ia
framing our laws and regulating our Repub
lican institutions. who had not fully attainet
citizenship under the laws of the Unite,
States. We hope our Legislature will NO
pass this important subject by unnoticed.

Midnight watch ofths Indian Warriors


The moon, on high, Is sailing through
A sea of pale and cloudless blue:
While to the earth-a mantle bright
She fings her clear and silver light
And tall grny rock and flowing stream
send up to heaven joyous gleam.
Valley and forest all are still:
Saye where the voice of whippoOFwill,
18th saddened tone, and full of care,
Floats plaintive on the midnight air:
Or owl, from top of scathed tree,
tiioots out, with strange and lonely glee.
Proud forms are those that leave the shade
Dark ON the forest carpet laid,
And firm. though silent, is their tread,
Up the lone valley of the dead.
They seek the spot where rests their sires,
Keeping, with Death, their couneil-fres
Beneath the grass that rankly waves,
Touched by the night wind DER their graves
Once, warriors Of the forest they,
Ire the pale stranger crossed their way:
When the whole pathless wild did own
The red man for is lord alone.
But now the children of their race,
Who slow approach their burial place,
Seek other hunting grounds than those
The wisdom Of their fathers chose:
And chase the wolf, or grizzly bear,
Or spotted deer, no longer there.
No longer wait they by the stream
Where glide the trout and inny bream;
Nor where the cascade fills the air
With music, can they hnger there.
But on, still onward are they prest
.Fe the grim mountains of the west
Destined. at last, to make their grave
Beneath the western oceans wave.
Lol they have paused--that warrior band
Their blankets, folded proudly, round
Their noble forms are wound
Among their fathers graves they stand,
Like statues, in the clear moonlight
That fills the temple of the night.
No tear comes glistening TO their eye
From their proud hearts there swclls no sigh
But. stern and vOiceless, there they stand
Among the grayes--that warrior band

white Indians.

| A writer in the Mariposa Chronicle
furnishes the following description of tn
Village and surrounding country inhabit
ed by the tribe of white Indians, be
yond the Sierra Nevadas, about which $,
much has been formerly said by othcI
writers
"This village is pleasantly and roman.
tically situated in a beautiful and rich
valley, guarded on either side BY lofty and
precipitous bluffs, which from the ever
green's grown upon their borders and va
riegated colors, present a singular pictur-
esque appearance. The mountains and
table land adjacent are thickly studded
with magnificent and lofty pines, cedars,
and oaks while in the valley, dressed
in her richest and rarest colors, Flora
reigns supreme. We were asreeably
surprised upon entering the village, toob-
serve the taste and utility displayed in its
construction. The streets were very
regularly laid ont in circular form,
shaded by trees resembling the magnolia.
The houses are partly Grcciau in style,
and of very good workmanship. That
occupied by the chief or king would re-
fleet honor upon more enlightened pco-
pie. 1t is a gigantic structure, built in
the form of a pyramid, and surrounded
with succession of corridors, rising one
above the other. Upon the railing of
each corrider-whieh is wide, and gr.ov-
ed for the admission of earth-are eulti-
waited the most beautiful aud fragrant
flowers, so arranged that, at a short dis
tance, the palace resembles an immense
bouquet. The people seem to have great
respect for their chief, who is a venerable
and benevolent man of about sixty. We
were received and entertained BY him
during our stay in the village, with the
warmest and most profusc hospitality. A
ipart of his suite was delegated to accom-
pany lis in our inspection of the village
and surrounding scenery. In trnth, so
much attention was hvisl,ed upon us.
that at times was almost induced TO be-
lieye that surveillance vas placed upon
our movements.
1--WE were :old that the valley extended
nearly TO the desert, but that view of its
entrance was obsured by hills of sand.
Of the origin of this people / could
learn little reliable. They have tradi-
ton, however, which may shed some im-
portant light upon the subject. 1t is that
their fathers came from across the great
waters they were visiting, as was their
custom annually, neighboriBg nation,
when they were driven By a gale from
the land. The gale continued with ter
rife force for number of days, driving
them rapidly to the east. After enduring
fear. hunger, and thirst, until they were
driven to despair, they came in sight Of
land. This land proved to be inhabited
BY sayages, By whom they we're taken in
to the interior and held as slaves. Soon
after, plague appeared among the In
dams, which made fearful ratases The
Indians were na;sle 10 belieye that il was
a Judgment upon them for enslayiHg the
white men, and they were accordingly
| liberated. Their fathers then established
themselves in the valley which they nov
|oceapy. They are evidently Of Asiatie
origin"
