Canadians Tampering with Michigan
Indians.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald has the following decidedly sensational
dispatch:
letter was received, several days ago, BY
Commissioner Dole stating that several mu,-
ders had been committed by rowing band Of
Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, at the head Of
Traverse Bay, in the Northern part Of Michigan.
A gentleman who has just arrived in Washing
ton from that section denies the truth of ,bs
statement, but recommends, as a precautionary
measure, that forces be rendezvoused at different
points in Northern Michigan, to be ready for any
emergency that may arise. He saws that tie
tribes on the American frontier have become
very suilen OF late, refusing to trade or have in.
teTcourse with the whites, as formerly. The
cause of this change in the conduct of these IL
dams, who have always lived on the mos, friend.

and Democratic one beyond dispute, into the

Is Thayer suggested, to vote Soften" 1t would
be little singular if they had lost their ekll in
this particular BY the mere act Of volunteering.
There is not bit Of use in persisting in these
falsehoods. The simple truth is that the volun-

voted what they thought better one. That's

W From the accounts blished in the Chi.
cage papers, the County Convention of the IN
terrified of Cook county, held in that city on
last Saturday night, was about as rich to ont
siders as Kilkenny fight. Sherman, the Times
candidate for Congress, declared in speech
that the "Union was about played out" Another
of the Tory leaders denounced the Adminis,ra
ton, proclaimed the Union lost, lauded the
course of England, tainted our gallant volun
teers as hireliDgs, fighting for pay, &c., &C.
They made their nominations after exhibiting
quite as much of their reasonable purposes as
they thought consistent with safety. What a
pretty set they are, truly!

The Reverend Dr.. Hawks. the we'll known
Episcopal Divine of New York city, has &C.
cepted call to Christ Church, Baltimore, and
is about removing to that city. 1t is supposed
that negrophobia is the cause of it. The church
in New York is little too earnest in its hatred
of the rebellion to suit the aged, but any thing
but venerable Doctor.

u The Mahony papers are trying to account
for the immense preponderance of Republican
votes among the volunteers, by asserting that
Democrats we're not permitted to vote, that they
could not procure tickets, that their tickets were
not counted because written in pencil. &C.. Ac
They are publishing letters purportins to come
from their friends in the army containing stories
like these, all probably got up for the occasion
anywhere but 10 the army.
Now, the returns themselves prove all these
assertions to be base tabricatious. II the major
ity of the volunteers were Democrats they would
have elected their Judges. If they wanted to
vote for Hahony or any body else, there was
nothing, and could be nothing to prevent thei,
doing so. That they were not prevented il
shown by the fact that, wherever there was g
pol! opened, some such votes we're returned
The idea that Democratic tickets were not to bt
bad is only tenable on the assumption that the
Mahonyites were not smart enough to furnish
them, or that there was no one among the yolun
teers who would receive and take charge o
them. That the Mahonyites did send Dick Syl-
vester down to Corinth expressly to look afte
the vote of the volunteers was admitted befor,
the election. If he was not competent to d,
that, we submit that he was very unfit man II
nominate for Secretary of State. IF there wer.
no Democrats to take charge of the tickets w.
don't see how there could have been any to vo,,
them. To assert that the Judges elected =, -,
soldiers themselves rejected ballots heo.,,,
written in pencil, is merely An assertion tb.,
the Judges, uniformly, perjured themselves
The sum of these fabrications il that n.
Democrats among the volunteers we're both idiot,
and cowards-that they did not know enou,,
to prepare ticket to suit themselves. or b.l
not manliness enough to vote - they thought
right We don't believe they we're either. W.
have never yet met with Democrat who. If b.
wanted to vote, did not manage to get bis ticket

It was perhaps necessary that great REBEL
ion should strike at the very existence of the
Republic. in order that It might be made con-
scious OF its peril, and be compelled, Is means
of selfpreservation, to assert its supremacy, and
cut of forever the incubus which has sapped the
foundations of it's strength, and almost destroyed
is vitality. 1t was required that something
should be done to purify the Nation. The re-
bellion has come, since nothing less terrible
could do it, to arouse the people, to expose the
great iniquity, to show how at war it is with our
institutions, and how essential it is to our future
peace and prosperity, that it should be rooted
out entirely. tits no longer question whether
the Republic can continue to live soM it. but
whether there is yet virtue enough among our
people to msintain and perfect it-whether the
poisonous virus of slavery has not already made
present or prospective slaves of US all.
81. We have faith yet in the people. We believe
that "out of the nettle, danger" they will
"pluck the flower, safety" We believe the rev.
olution we sought to avoid, will prove salutsry
medicine-that the blood already shed, will not
moisten the earth in vain-that the Nation and
people will be elevated and purified, and that
the lesson We are learning will give Us a renewal
and perpetuity of the Nstionallfe 1

sidering that the British nation don't mind ma
king the poor pay moro than their share of tax
a., nor does it take the care that this Govern
nent always has, hitherto, of the education Of
the children of poverty. That Government is a
government of the lew, and not of the many, and
its legtlaton is for the benefit of tho few and
not the many. The People do not rule and
they are not deemed fit to rule, and it is not
thought worth the while Of the Government to
educate them up to Gtness for parsici patton
in the right of suffrage The People, then. are
not sovereign, and SO England has never hesi-
tated, till recently, to make her newspapers bear
a stamp tax, and thus make them luxury be-
yond the reach of the masses. But even En-
gland has taken step in advance, and abolished
the stamp tax on newspapers, and the Immense
increase Of cheap and good newspapers in that
Kingdom attests the wisdom and the necessity OF
the measure.
Let Congress do what it ought to, impose
property tax, and then those who have property
will, as they ought to, bear the burdens of the
country, but let it not shut up by tax any ave-
nue. through which our people are educated and
attain their knowledge of the movements Of ev-
eryday life, Of the dongs Of their representatives
in Congress, Of the welfare OF the nation, OF the
success Of tie army, for it is through instru-
mentalites like these that We have como to be
