The spirit of Contentment.


How universal il is We never yet
knew the man who woUld say, 81 am

the rich or poor, the man Of competence,
or the man who earns his bread by the
sweat Of his brow, you hear the sound Of
muuering and the voice of complaint.
The other day we stood by cooper who
was playing merry tune with his sdz
around cask. "Ah - said lie, mine
is a hard lot, forever trolling around like
a dog, driving hoop"
"Heigho !" sighed blacksmith, on
one Of the late hot days, as he wiped the
perspiraton from his brow, while the red
hot iron gIowed on the snvll-"thIs is

And so through all the rsmifcations Of
society, all are complaining Of their con-

turn came next ; and you may be sure
he seized with JOY upon the bows and

man. he had no choice left, but 10 put Up
with The box of tools.
From this il is clear that the Great
Spirit intended the white man should
learn 10 read and write ; TO understand
all about the moon and stars and 10
make every thing, g,even rum and whIssey;
that the red man should be a hrst-raie
hunter, and mighty warrior, but he was
MOTTO learn anything from books. as the
Grea, Spirit had not given him any nor
was he to make rum end whiskey, lest he
should kill himself drinking. As 10 the

the white and red man, which he has
continued to DO.

Of The Creeks and Cherokees learned to
real aad write, and they are the greatest
rascals among all the Indians. They went
on TO Washington. and said they were
going 10 see their Great Father, TO talk
about the good of the nation. And when
they got there, they all wrote upon
little piece of paper, without The nation at
home knowing any thing aboh it.

gether by the Indian agent, who showed
them lille piece OF paper, which he
told them was treaty which their breth-
ern had made in their name, with their
Great Father at " ashington. Az they
knew not what treaty was, he held up
the little piece Of paper, and they looked
under it, and 10 ! it covered great ex-
tent Of country, and they found that their
brelhern, by knowing how 10 read and
write, had sold their houses, end their
lands, and the graves Of their fathers
and that the white man, by knowing how
TO read and write, had gained them. Tell

THE NEW RESERVATION.


The following are the boundaries and
area of the proposed Indian Reservation
which the Commission has selected,
which il is said Congress will approve,
and upon which General Terry is now
going to Fort Sully to arrange for their
reception. If Messrs. Cavanaugh and
Burleigh do. not fight the action of Con
gress on the matter they will be false to
every interest of the Territories they re-
present. We gave the boundaries some
months since but reproduce them as
found in the Denver NeUs of the 18th,
as of especial interest at this time. "It
is bounded on the west by the 109th
meridian, on the east by the Missouri
river, on the north by the 10th parallel
and on the South by the 43d parallel.
1t includes IL, 900 square miles of south
eastern Montana, $4,000 of northeastern
Wyoming (Lincoln or western Dakota }
and nearly 10000 of southwestern Da-
kota (east of the 104th meridian,) en-
bracing a total area of $1,000 square
miles. 1t is proposed to give it dis
tinctive name, and organize it into a

THE WOLF IN sIIEEP,s CLOTH
ING.

We have no time, just now to dissect and
lay bare the Radical Platform just adopted at
Chicago. Suffice it to say that il says ONE
thing and MEANS another all the way through
from beginning TO ending, and In each and
every resolution, which are short and sweet.
-TGazette, Goth.
1t is not TO call attention to the ludi-
crous tautaulogy employed in the above
to elongate a meagre idea into thread of
argument, that we quote it. The idea is
unique and we think original with the
Gazette, that in ntter failure to be able
to pick flaw in the platform, it gives
up the task as hopeless and declares it
does not mean what IL says. The man
has at last been found who can see
farther into milestone than those who
made it, and 10 it is the astute editor
of the Ga5ette. He does not see any
thing Very revolutionary in the outward
appearance OF Radiealism, but espies a
lurking lion of danger in every lamb
like line. If, then, it does not mean what
it says, it must declare against impartial
suffrage, and equality before the law,
against Congress, against expatTiation,
against the soldiers and sailors. 1t must
declare for Andrew Johnson, for repu-
diation, for unequal taxation, for lavish
expenditures, for disloyalty, for corrup-
ton. Under these circumstances we
cannot see how the Gazette can consis-
tently or with any degree of earnestness
oppose it. If the editor of the G0zefte
| will read the letter of Chas. 5. Bagg,
Esq, published as leader in the same
issue. and commended by that PAPER, he
will find that he advocates in his best
style Eve of the regular, and one of the
additional, resolutions in the Radical
platform. Our opinion is that the
Gazette has made q serious blunder in
failing to find salient point
of attack and by saying the Platform
does not mean what it says, and making
the fight accordingly has arrayed itsel
against the entire Democratic press whC
will war upon it for what it says. The
Gazette still adheres 20 its old fogy, lef
wing, theory, that TO elevate one rac'
necessitates the degradation of the 9th
er. 1t will find Seymour's declaration
in which he thanked God the faitl
which the Democracy of tie East hol'
as one man, is 10 level up, not to leve
down." will live an immortal declaration
, of great and good principle when al
, the base appeals to prejudice are dea
in the infamy in which they were be-
& gotten.

literature, and the arts and sciences, the
birth place of law. and is the home
of liberty loving, heroic people. Tur-
key is the cidatel where all the barbar-
isms of four thousand years have pro-
lection and encouragement. 1t appeals
more directly to the sympathies of the
Great Republic than to any other gov
ernment, for Crete is but a miniature
edition of the Thirteen Colonies, battling
for what our fathers achieved, liberty,
independence. religious tolerance. a
Republic. Today there are exiled from
their homes and their leland, 10000 of
their women and children and infirm,
destitute and perishing; yet bidding
their heroes battle, while the world
wonders at their Spartan virtues. To
assist these, our charitable institutions
have labored faithfully and successfully,
and popular Fairs in Eastern cities have
| contributed largely in their behalf.

cieties, done much for them, yet the
government fears dangerous combin-

the one hundred and fifty million col

the people appeal warmly to Americans
and we hope that the banners of the
Great Republic, bright-tipped with the
glories of triumph over ourselves, will
be reared in the Occident to cheer with
recognition, and aid as in our power, the
