, -INDIAN LANDS. We fern the late purchase of indianlandsin the state of Ohio, one of the most important events his hanoened in the wes-

tern country for many years. ; Although it was thought expedient on the conclusion of the war to

consent, that tne "vagw retain all the lands which belong"ed to them at its commencement ; Yet it was foreseen, that by a purchase after peace, we might obtain all the advantages qf a most sue costal campaign.-The event has justified these expectations, lne purchase lately made includes

most ot mat wuuci ww the settlements in Ohio ADctioit; which was the battle field during most of the last war, the. scene ot fliory and disaster. It includes a great quantity of excellent land and will doubtless settle with the greatest rapidity. The commu. nication between the northern In'diansandthe British at Maiden, will be almost entirely cut off and .that frontier will be filled up with -an active, hardy population ready to defend their country and punjsh wrongs. ... , In Mississippi the acquisition ot territory is likely to be not Jess extensive, though not equally un-. portant. By a late arrangement with the Cherokees, that tribe jiave leave to exchange their lands

on he east tor omers uu cv, -v-of the Mississippi, -and it is believcd that most of them will remove. The country thus left vacant wnl cnn fill up with white papulaI tionand together with the terii-

tory conquered irom tne reeics, which is peopling with unexam--Southern borders from Indian hostility, and strengthen Louisiana against the attacks of a foreign enemy.- All the Indians in that quarter will in a few years cross "the Mississippi, adopt the manners ot civilized life or become .extinct. On the south we now want nothing to complete our security, but possession or the Fioridas and that we must have, peaceably. it we can, foicibly if we must." A petition to Congress is circulating in Missouri, praying that that territory 'may be admitted -into the union as one of the U. States. Their population is stated to be about 40,000 and we know that it must be increasing rery rapidly. Kentucky, which a few years ago was " the land of promise" has now become an old jtateznd sends forth her emigrants by thousands. The curjent from this state and through It, is almost exclusively to the "Missouri territory. We can travel scarcely half a dozen miles on any important road leading in that direction without finding many families with all their substance travelling to that distant land. Distant it is, even from this place, which is almost four hundred miles further west than traveller Brown" extended his jaboriousand satisfactory researches in the " western country." 1 hus our empire has risen from the late war with greater elasticity than ever, and like a vigorous
