There are not few such, We are sorry TO say In
Charleston and New Orleans and along the Mlssls-
sippi River, as Mr.. Olmsted, or some recent
traveller there, tells Us at length SO Indians nave
not usually stood high in the good graces OF our
Southern brethren. We have been put to large
expenses in cutting their throats, hunting them
with Cuba blood-hOunds, transporting them tar
away toward the sunset and paying them annuitles,
for the purpose of removing them out OF the way

fellow. citizens. who were minded to convey the
lands Of the Indians to themselves and charge the
EXPENSES Of conveyance to US. But when Indians
have received enough of the light of civilization and
Christianity to read their title clear to quantity
of niggers, they rse at once in the scale OF beng,
and are no longer unworthy of the irnmunites OF
citizenship and the rights of manhood.
The Memphis Enquirer, net long since, con-
tanned suggestion that the Indian territory lying
next to Arkansas, between the Red and Arkansas
Rivers, and extending to the one hundredth degree
of west longitude, should be erected into State
and admitted into our glorious Union. These
gentle salyaQes," it must be understood, are
shareholders and unequivocaly sound on the goose,
so that the crime of having skins not cOlored like
our own can be overlooked if not wholly pardOned,

"the means which God and Nature had put into
their hands" for the suppression of the American
Rebellion, surely the Conservative Element of our
institutions may appeal to the cart-whip and
branding iron of the Cherokees and ChOctaws to
aid them in resisting the incursions of the North
ern barbarians on their rights. 1t is an alliance
plainly suggested by the community of interests Of
the contracting parties as well as by the congenial-
ity of their characters and practices. No Indians,
in their blOOdest days. ever surpassed the barbara
ties practiced for the maintenance of Slavery in
the South and for its extension into Kansas The
unsought attack, the cowardly ambush, the toma-
hawk and the scalping knife Of the Border Rufians,
prove what apt disciples they are OF their red
brethren, and how they can better their instruction
and their examples.
The presence of Big Thunder in the Senate, and
of Little Lightning in the House, might at first be
a little grating to the prejudces of the rampant
AnglO-SaxOns and Caucasans OF the Southland.
But the help they would derive from their votes
which might be relied upon with absolute certain
ty, would do much to allay the irritation, and make
it merely grateful excitatiOn; especially as their
skill in the manual exercises which are fast becOm
ing part and parcel of the Rules and Orders, would
render them invaluable auxiliaries in what may be
called the bush fighting of Congress. We do not
know whether or not the late lamented Brooks of
Carolina ever took any lessons in the use of the
wsr.cub from an aboriginal professor; but he cer
tainy showed q natural aptitude for it, which
would have done him credit had he first opened his
eye. under wgwain or lodge And the stealth-
mess of bis approach, protected by his fellow
Jrare Keitt, and the surprise effected upon his
enemy were worthy the noblest savage of them all.
No one who approved and defended that brilliant
stratagem, such as Senator ToOmbs and Senator
Mason whom Bunker Hill rather delighted to
honor, could object to the society of the which
best understands such strategy, and can the most
successfully practice it.

have no objection to thus ftaternizing egisatiyey
with their Indian neghbors who have expiatea

no possible fault to find with it. To men 50 long
compelled to endure the bad manners and disgust
ing ways of the Buffers, Br)ok.es Keitts, MssOns,
and all the rest Of the dramdrinking, tobacco
chewing broad cast spittng crowd, an Indian of the
average rudeness and uncleanliness of his race
would be most pleasing and refreshing variety.
Possibly, the peculiar vices of that species Of bar
barism which passes for civilization at the South,
msy have infected the Sons of the Forest who have
come into direct contact with them; but it is
hardly possible that they have become 90 utterly
dtbauched and deprayed in the course of so few
years as the barbarisns around them who have
been so long growing up to their present point Of
preternatural Odiousness. On personal grounds,
therefore We can see no objection to the admission
of the new Indian State, so it has properly
qualified itself BY suitable Pro Slavery Constisd-
ton; and on public grounds, if we must have
another Slave State, We should rather take the
chance Of one controlled by red men than of one
uLder the management Of the White Trash that has
so long infested ard tainted National affairs.
