or convenience, but even life and limb. The
wealth In creation could not induce US to live on
either side Of this eternal stream Of men, beasts.
vehicles and uproar. We should not live out hall
our days, and then get through the world before
we knew 1t. We said we saw no children. It's
fact. We see every day, when at home, more
children on a single square In any one OF the
thicfly Settle streets than we have seen in the
business portion of New York since We have
been here. The fact Is, we cannot invent, in our
mind, any principle upon which they could be
raised here. 81 they Were kept cOOped up In the
houses all the time tfor yards there are noneJ,
they would die for want OF air and exercise; and
IL suffered to go into the streets, they would be
fore, upon which we can account fcz the dense
throng of human beings that we find hn ii is, that
they grow them outside, and then bring them in.
We also had the pleasure of visiting the marble
dry goods palace ofStewart, which Is certainly
grand specimen Of private enterprise, and one that
reflects great credit upon its protector.
We also visited last light the celebrated eating
saloon Of Taylor The interior of this establish
ment Tor gorgeousness in finish and furniture far
surPasses anything we have ever seen before. We
are not exaggeratiDg when we say that the main

we'll rewarded for their trouble.
We have said that all were busy here. In this
we slightly erred. There Is one class Of indi-
viduals (the negroes) who appear to have but
very little to do; most of their time seems to be
spent In strolling about, and looking on while
others work. The fact is, every one seems to be
perfectly reg ardless of their welfare, and many
unwilling that they sh all work. 1t Is true there
are but very few about the wharves and business
part OF the city, and from present indications
- ho
oufy as their condition seems to be pretty much
like that OF poor boy at irolc. The manner in
which they are treated here is sufficient to satisfy
any honest man that there is no sincerity among
the aboiitionists that they have no real SYM
pathy for them. All the clamor upon the part of
the leadersts nothing more nor less than species
effect; ard among the masses it is the result of
Ignorance, want Of knowledge Of the real con.
dition OF the slaves in the South.
From what we have seen, we have come to the
conclusion that such thing honest (roIiti-
callV) Abolitonist among the leaders OF the party
Is not to be found, in New York at least We
would as soon undertake to look for grains of

smiths there are in the world, as find one B.; and
we volunteer your readers this infalible sign by
which to tell the honest ones hereafter:-Each
one Of them has tuft Of black kinky hair grow
ing in the centre of his forehead. We have lost
all manner Of faith in the professions of sympathy
with, and friendship for, the negroes of the South;
OF the whole tribe, even Horace Greely himself
| would almost soon be horse with good
master, in one of the southern States, as be free
black down in these diggings.
We are going out to-m morrow to look at the
fashions, &c, in other quarter, of which we will
try and give you some idea in our next
INDIAN TREA1IEs.-As the recent outbreak
among the Indian tribes in Washington and
Oregon Territories is attracting good deal of
attention, We reproduce the following state
ment of treaties with the tribes in that region,
which were agreed to and signed by tho In
dams three years ago, but are not yet approved
by the Senate. 1t will be observed that in the
aggregate these tribes number 1917 souls,
and that they have coded to the Government
62,4l5, $50 acres of land, for which they were
to receive within twenty years 50, csc, 900 in
money, besides the residence among tn en- of
physicians, schoOl-teachers, farmers &C., as is
enumerated below. Now, while the whites are
taking possession of these coded lands the In
dians have not received any part of the remu-
neration, because of the Senate's hardness in
approving the treaties. This, then, is a real
cause of their disaffectfon, and We ebould
nationally expect that it will be difficult to
restore quiet among them until our obligations
are commenced to be fulfilled, or until the
whites to take possession of the lands if not
fulfilled.
The Administration cannot be deemed cen.
surable, then for existing Indian trou bles nor.
indeed, can the blame rest anywhere except on
the shoulders of those who, during the late SEES
sions Of Congress, prevented the dispatch of
business by series of Parliamentary maneu-
vering, the only object of which was to consume
time and prevent the transaction Of necessary
business. This statement also enables US better
to realize the imminent danger we are in of a
general Indian war, as well as the jeopardy to
which many of our Indian agents are subjected
in their intercourse with the tribes, and the
assiduous labors which they are compelled to
perform to keep those in their charge pacified
