My Red Children, am happy to meet you

As you have risked your lives in ibehalf of q
white person, hope my white children will
risk theirs in your behalf should an opportu.

we'll understood the danger of sen ding
white men out to capture these prisoners.
They would be as apt to kill friends as enc.
mics and in the end do more harm than good
While I knew that Inkpadutah and band
should be punished, I thought it my duty to
save these women. You are deserving OF
the thanks of all good whites in the United
States I hope all friendly Indians will hold
no intercourse with Inkpadutah. His band
are outlaws and murderers, alike the ene-
m;es of the whites and the friendly Indians,
and they should be extermina led.
l shall convey to the Great Father in
Washington, in person, tidings of the good
deed you have done, and urge upon him the
necessity of faithfully fulfilling all promises
made to you. I shall say to him you desire
to live like white men in houses, and have
churches and schools, and cultivate the soil
that you desire to keep peace with the neigh

Yanctons and Red River Half Breeds to be
at war along our territorial fronter-all

Maj. FLANDREAU exhibited an Indian wal
head-dress, which the Yancton Indians had
sent to Gov. MEDARY, with desire for him
to present in public manner on their be-
half to Miss GARDINER as token of their
pacific intentions towards her and the other
white people. The presentation was then
made by Gov. NJ. trrl.
This headdress somewhat resembles pea
cock when he has his tail spread. Maj. Flan-
dreau told the Indians they would be paid for
their services and sacrifices in the afternoon,
when the Council broke up.
As Ma-za-cu-ta-min took his leave of Miss
Gardiner he wished her when she prayed to
the Great Spirit to remember the poor Indian
We learn that the Indians were paid 81, 600
for bringing in Miss Gardiner the same as
was paid for the ransoming of Mrs. Marble,
besides the expenses of their outfit for their

Some Of the Eastern journals are growing
very nervous about the speculations in land
in the Western country, and are predicting
cur ruin in emphatic and positive terms.
Poor people! We hope they won't allow
their grief at our impending ruin to inter-

years ago, . man came to that State from
Haverhill, Mass, bought him quarter-sec-

money enough to make one payment. He
went to work himself, and hired boy to
help him for $40 month. The following
paragraph in letter from him to the New

PsRsoNAI--The Messenger says that week
after week, we ridicule honest and industri-
GUS mechanics on account Of their occupation.
This another is falsehOod. We have never
ridicnled any mechanic on account OF his oc-
cupaton. We are mechanic ourself. and
we glory in it; and when we get above our
business, or deny that we are mechanic, we
hope our tongue will cleave to the roof of
our mouth. and our right arm fall from its
shoulder blade. Not only are we mechanic.
but We have often worked as a common la
borer; and if it ever becomes necessary, we
can and will do the same again, Still more:
We once engaged in the brick-making busi-
ness-acting alternately as g off bearer, boss
and moulder;" and with little practice we
could mould as good slop-brick as our
friend Jonathan McKusick ever monlded and
burnt IN saltwater. That's SO. And what
IS still more Of it and worse, we once went
down to New Orleans on fat-boat-tugged
at the oar with tie rest of the hands and
rather than die of dyspepsia, or sacrifice one
io.a of our manhood and independence, we
viii do the same thing again."

that if Kansas becomes free State the basis
OF the party is gone. Mistaken souls The
contest between liberty and despotism is ev-
erlasting. We have new had only one
phase oft. For twenty, perhaps fifty years
to come, the agitation Of the Slavery question
as it relates to this country is to 90 on in
creasing in ratio, compared with which that
OF the last ten years is snail paced. We not
unfrequently hear some we'll preserved old
fogy bewailing the violence of the present
controversy, when, if he had but half an eye.
he might forsee that what is coming will
make the present agitation seem but the mur-
muring OF the impending storm. Despotism
cannot remain in rcpose. 1t is forever en-
croaching upon freedom. The history of the
old world proves this no less than that of
our own country. In America the progress
OF tyrany is marked by such steps as the
stealing of Texas, the Fugitive Slave Bill.

go on. The greenhorn in Broadway, New
York, who stands waiting for the crowd to
pass by before he crosses the street, is not
more simple than those politicians who in
tend to mount their particular hobby anew as
soon as the Slavery agitation subsidies. In
stead OF the excitement being ended or about
to subside, it has but just begun. The
