Indiana Palladium, Volume 6, Number 48, Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, 4 December 1830 — Page 3

r i "r "j Much ot our papr, to day, is takn Dp with a communication from general K. Nfhle, in reHy to one published in 41s No. of thr Palladium, over the sig nature of "A Democrat." Having admitted that article unto our columns, we felt bound, as it reflected on gen. Noble, to republish his reply. The same reason may induce us to republish gen. H nna' rejoinder. We hope the belligeraots will have but a brief war, as tve have little 6ea room to spare them at this season of the year. Michigan road lands. The opinion vhich formerly obt lined that, "when the brains were out the man would die," is giving way, and a contrary one is gaining that nothing but the want of breath c u kill some men. We are led to this remark by observing the course pursued by the Clay editors in this state, in respect to the location of the Michigan road lands. The decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, that those lmds are to be located in nd taken from the lands owned by the Potawatamie Indians, and not out of lands belonging to the LJ. States, has throwi the whole phalanx, including a few legislative members elect, into commotion; & set them to "'spounding and 'splaining" the treaty and act ot Congress in true Dvy fWton style. Theii puerile efforts to throw odium on the administration, and create a belief among the people that it is inimical to the interest of the west, because of this decision, will recoil on their own heads, to their shame and confusion. L ist week we published he article of the treaty, made by the Indians, granting the lands for making ihe road; below we give the law of Congress, so pompously refered to by the Clay editor., carrying into effect the 2d article of the treaty it should be observed that the act does not alter the meaning of the article, but is merely intended to give force and effect to its provisions. Without it, under the decision of Congress, the titate derived no title to the lands: the U. States claiming the sole right to treat for ai d dispose of the In diau lands. The 2d article of the treaty must be its own interpreter and it should be construed literally This being the fact, what other construction can be put upon it than that the lands for the road are to be selected in the Indian lands. To say they are to come out of those ceded iu the first article Tvill not do: for no where, either in the 2d article or in the act of Congress , are the lands ceded in the 6rst article alluded to. R'ason and common sense mus at once say that such a construction would be erroneous. The Indians, in the first article, cede to the United Stales a tract of land bounded, as descibed, for a valuable consideration; in another article they grant to the State of Indiana a portion of land for making a road, avowedly to enhance the price of their other lands, and to show their liberality to the state. Now, we would ask, where is th justice or liberality of giving to the Stai of Indiana lands previously sold to the U. States, for a valuable consideration? It seems to ua to be a queer kind of justice or liberality, i I ajter A has sold his farm to B, that he (A) should claim the right of giving C a portion of it, to make a road, to show his(AV) liberality, and to enhance the rice of he balance of bis lands. Such logic may do to trap gulls, but won't take among people of tense. The argument of a learned editor, north of us, is about on a par with the above. He argues that as the lands are to be located "contiguous," and Ihe road only passes 40 or 50 miles through, the Indian territory, they must come out of the lands ceded in the first article. This is a poor peg to hang an argument on, and is only resorted to tor want of a better. The late secretary of war (Mr. Barbour,) it seeme, in his letter to Guv. Ray, did not consider it necessary that the lands should be taken along the route of the road, but contiguous; that is, running out on either side from if. He also, in the 6amc letter, informs the governor, that the United States will not survey the road landf, or bear any of the expense, observing that "the obligations of the general government ceaed4 when the 0"'ght of the land, for Indiana, was secured." We would particularly direct the attention of the honorable gentleman north, to the following extract The phraseology of the article was subse- . quently changed by the Senate, on raiiticition, by sinking out the "state of Indiana," and substituting the United Slates.

froth the letter: ull U proper the Indians should agree with you as to where that point (meaning the point of termination) ought to be; also as to the location of the sections along the route which may h marked in the survey lor the road." We would thank the gentleman to explain why the late secretary wished the governor to consult the Indians about the lands, when it is contended that these lands belong to

the United Slates. It would really seem to us like nonsense to require the governor to consult the Indians about that which did not in the least concern them. We shall give Mr. Barbour's letter entire next week, that the public may see what were the views the last administration, in regard to the locationjofthe Michigan road lands. ArrROVED, 2d March, 1827. Sect. 1 .J Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of A.nerica, in Con gress Assembled That the General Assembly of the State of Indiana shall be, and the same are hereby, authorized to locate and make a road from Lke Michigan, by the way of Indianapolis, to some convenient point on the Ohio river, agreeably to the 2d article of a treaty made and concluded near the mouth of Mississinewa, upon the Wabash, in the State of Indiana, on the sixteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, between the Commissioners on the part of the United State?, and the Chiefs and Warriors of the Potawatamie tribe of Indians ; and the said General Assembly are hereby authorized to apply the strip of land and the sections of land, by said article ceded to the United States, or the proceeds thereof, to the making of the same; and the said grant shall be at their sole disposal. The Ohio river has risen 7 or 8 feet within the last few days. The business on the river is rapidly increasing, as the water is sufficiently high to admit the larger steam beats to ply above, and shortly, it is hoped, to pass the falls without interruption by means of the canal. The Advertiser announces that the smallpox has nearly disappeared from Louisville. A few cases still occur among the coloured people and some whites, who had not resorted to vaccination. We learn that this loathsome and dangerous disease has made its appearance in the vicinity of Vevay.. A young man, who has been engaged carrying the maii from Louisville to Cincinnati, it is feared, has communicated the disease; as he himself is laboring under its operations at a house a little removed from the town. The frequent and almost daily intercourse between our town and the places infected, would seem to dictate a speedy resort to vaccination by all our citizens, who have not adopted this precautionary measure. Canal at Louisville. Frorii intimations thrown out by the Cincinnati papers, it was expected that the water would have been let into the canal at the falls on Saturday last. The .Louis-) vine Advertiser of the 24th ult. however says that, in "six or eight days hence, should the weather continue dry, the water will be let in." It is probable that, as it has been wet for some days past, the canal is not yet opened for the passage of boats. . The legislature of Missouri met at the seat of government, (Jefferson city,) on the 1 3th Nov. We shall shortly hear the fate of "Little Red." Strength of parties. The enemi?s of President Jackson have been indulging the fond but delusive hope that tbey would be able to gain the ascendancy in the United States' Senate in the next Congress, and thereby embarrass and thwart the measures of the administration. As parties stand in the present Congress, the friends of the administration have four of a majority in the senate in the next they will have ten or tzcelve. In the house of representatives the Jackson majority, in the present Congress, is about 60 in the next it will be considerably increased. Yet, with these facts before them, some people venture to assert that the administration is losing strength! From the Auburn N. Y. Free Press. HYDROPHOBIA. The following is an account of one of these most distressing cases of disease upon which it is impossible to reflect without a shudder a case of Hydrophobia. Mr. Vale, of the town of Ovid, Seneca county, died of this awful and distressing disorder on Sunday, the 31st of Oct. last, leaving a wife and one child to deplore his melancholy fate. The particulars so far a? I have been able to gather them, are as follows: Niue or tea weeks previous to Lis death,

Mr. Vale discovered for the first time, that his dog .exhibited symptoms of hydrophobic, and thinking it unsafe that he ehould run at large contiued him; but while in the net of chaining the dog he was bitten severely on the hand. The animal was immediately killed, and consequently did not live to prove the correctness of Mr. Vale's suspicious. But a cow, which had been bitten by the same dog, a short time previous to his confinement, died a few days after,

with every symptoms of hydrophobia, which was fearful evidence to the wretched man, that he too had within him the elements of a quick coming &, most appalling death. Medical aid was immediately secured, and all known speciScs for hydrophobia put in requisition. Eight or nine weeks had passed, and he felt that he was out of danger, fell that the applications had had the desired effect; when he learned that the mysterious and maddening agent was at work within him. On Thursday evening previous to his deathiijle he was setting before the fire, other had occasion to pour some vrtMrnto a dish that stood before him, which caused him to shudder and catch his breath, something as a person does on sudden immersion in water. This was the first symptoms he exhibited. Dr. Pearl of Genoa, in this county, was called on Friday, who 6ays th.it he saw nothing unusual in the appearance of Mr. Vale except in the eyes, which were considerably protruded out of the head very glassy in their appearance, and the pupuls of which were very much enlarged. The patient continued in this situation, free from pain, and well at heart, un4il one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he suddenly sprang from his bed and exclaimed to the by-standers, (fifteen or sixteen in number, who from friendship or curiosity, remained with him through the night) "Clear the room! clear the room1." tbey immediately withdrew and he was confined in the rooTrt alone. Now commenced a struggle, which the pen cannot describe the imagination cahjnot conceive. He raved and struggled gratecl his teeth frothed at the mouth and yelled most distressingly. His distortec visage, staring cyV- and furious gestures, presented a spectacle, which, by those wr& have witnessed it, can never be forgotten. The first attack continued but a short time when he became more calm, and asked his friends into the room where he was. "Now," said he, "bind me, keep away from mt!" solemn and awful as was the duty, it was done as he requested, and the wretched man was bound hanctand foot to his bed, where with agonies and groans, and shouts, too fearful to be told, and too dreadful ever to be forgotten, he died, at about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning.

Coxe publicly read the letter whith the committee ofsar. '' rangements were instructed by a resVi lution of the citizens to address to Gen. Lafayette in their behalf. . Immediately after the conclusion of the ceremonies at the Capitol, the military companies and societies returned to their respective places of dismissal, the concourse dispersed, and tbe President was escorted to his mansion by a body of mounted militia oflQcers, where they partook of some refreshment. The public offices were closed during the day, as were also the shops of the city, and all business was suspended. The festivities of the day closed with a Ball, which was attended by a large assemblage. Among other interesting spectacles which appeared in the procession, were the Printers, with a press and other apparatus, on a large car, printing and distributing an ode written for the occasion the Cordwainers Society, the Hatters' Society, &c. all having stages on which members were at work at their respective trades.
