THE RED MAN.
There is a great deal or truth in this rude Ian
guage The Quakers have done more to procure
the assassination of thousands upon thousands Of
pioneers than any other agency, human Or divine,
in the United states. Humanity is sweet. good
thing but it does not inspire the enderest feeling
in the human breast to have your wife and chill
dren murdered during your absence and while you
are seeking an honest and laborious existence In
these wild Territories. II is nice and comfortable
| for the Friends to repose calmly beneath their
| broad brms and resolve that the noble red man is
the rigntful sovereign OF the SOIL and should not
be pursued or punished for the most repreheDsible
| or atrocious crimes. Yes, quite comfortable for
them And then it is so pleasant to know that
the government has furnished the Indians with the
best arms manufactured, SO that they are now able
| to shoot any body down from the bush or precip-
itate general war. You will observe that have
not written heretofore IN the belief that there
will be general uprising, nor do now have the
slightest confidence that there will be any. The
Indians are all ugly. They want nght, but they
are a set Of treacherous, cowardly knaves who
hate to face force whether 1t be displayed By SOL
iiers or civilians This whole Indian question is,
however, the simplest study in the world, as any
frontiersman will tell you. 1t means this,
