increasing dependei:ce upon their social neighbors tor the bread of life, their diminished prospects of living by the chase, their perpetration of murders and ether outrages of dangerous precedent, their frequent collisions with our people, their unre. strained exhibitions cf their own savage ciMwms before our citizen"- and citizens' children, the impositions which for the lack cf Inowledge, they arc ever sullering from their more artful brothers, and their destitution of any moral code whatever, ore all w eighty considerations that combine in sum-nmnii-r them before you at eh'tldn n In he. gKcritr,L A trial for half a century, to better their condition as independent nations, or tribes has only served to increase their future wretchedness. They have, by Mime, unaccountable fatality, ac quired all of the u't. of the whites, with but few of their virtues. Besides

t.it absurdity of one independent power iesiding in another, both t:hippinc?sc the nativesand the policy and interests of of the government, call emphatically for a change of relation between the parties It is time that Agencv domination was yielding tip it-absolute sway, to the mild and salutary laws of free, enlightened and religious freemen. The hearts of the Indians themselves, would team with thanksgiving, after realizing th.eir advantage-;, (or the preserving intlueiicej of organic law. If upon the tii st hork, they should receive, by the extension of the laws of the State over them, their timidity should not overcome them, so as to inc line them to sell and mov e beyond the Mississippi, a c heering hope may yet be indulged, that their infantile edlspring may be reared, to understand, venerate and enjoy, the blessing of the social system. The act of enforcing our Stale laws upon the Indians, mu-t be accompanied with great prudence and forbearance on the part of the executive officers. Between the extension of our law s and their liability to them, sutVicient time should be given to enable them to

understand the new rule of their conduct. Special modes of promulgating the laws, mu-t of ncccssitv be resorted to. A drhool for hzrf and other instruction ought to be instituted. Whether these people stay within the Stale or go tothe country allott d to them, after they are brought to an equality w ith the citizen, and subjected to his burdens and counted in the federal tenus their landed possessions mu-t soon form an item in the re venue of the State. If they remove, they will sell to the United States: and if they submit, it is the opinion of the President, that their national property must be carved up into individual rights. If gives rue much picture lo inform you, that in submitting the :bove proposition, I am f rtified by the opinion of the President of the 1. rated States, ar.d by late legislative e nactme nls, of most of the ? 1V3 tint fe-l rin interest in the matter, and have Indians within th.ir

And a code, which shall furnish tiiccommunitv with law, to enable the people to transact their ordinary affairs, without the common expense, trouble or necessity of taking the lawyer's counsel, is one of the reforms loudly called for, in ourcivil polity. Put a Legislature of disinterested members will be essential to success. This the people can give. jrnisnicTiJX. The trial and acquittal of William Kothvvell in Perry county in this state, at thelate March term ot the Circuit Court, on a charge of murder committed on the Ohio river, and the points raised and sustained in the case, must point out the necessity cd' a declaratory statute on the subject of the concurrent jurisdiction of the state s thiough whose

territory this river runs, for the more certain service of process and punishment of offence's committed em its waters. It appeals that an offende r ed' ihe highest grade', has been discharged on the gre und that ibis state, by any laws that are in force, has no jurisdiction over olien-ce-s committed on the )hie river. However clear ii may aj ear ujKm examination of authority, that wc may take a concurrent jurisdiction on this stream, with the; adjoining state of Kentucky, our state law, defining county boundaries, by a vagueness of expression and th: location of county line s, in some instance s along the n camh rs of the river, together with the judicial decision, may, with propriety, lender our right to take cognizance on it, sufficiently doiibtfd, to require further legislation. Your right to clothe the authorities ef the state with this necessary jurisdiction, will appear in flu unquestionable sha)o, by a r lerence to the last sentence in the fourth article of the (Ordinance of Congress, of . I ulv 1-, 17, declaring all streams running info the .Mississippi and St. Lawrence', common hiiihv.ays, A.C., and more so, bv ihe cle-veufh section ed' an Act of Virginia, e recting Kentucky into an indep. inlent suite, 1Mb of Decembe r, HM', by which a concurrent jurisdiclioa is e xpressly given to the stales tlful possess ihe opposite shores of the Ohio river, 1st ol.

What i.-? lequiieel, is a law, making that certain which is doubtful. asvi r.ns, (N.C Among the duties which the Constitution expressly enjoins on the Legislature-, is that of making provision for the poor, who may have legitimate claims on ihe aid and benetice-nce' of socielv. For this pui pose, the Constitution requires, that farms or asylums shall be provided lor them, so lhat they may liml employment and comfort, and "lose, by the ir use fulne ss, the degrading sense of eleJendcne e.", It is for you to judge wheiher circumstances will jK-rmit, at prose -nt, the adoption of a measure' of the kind. It is also incumbe nt on ihe Legislature to countenance ami encourage- the piinciph'S of humanity, industry, and morality."' As the Constitution has piopo-eel lew sj-cei-f:e modes in w ha h this praiseworthy injunction is lo be e arneil into ellect. resolutions, recommending the general practice ef the private, public, and social virtues, would not, jerhaps, be unappiopriate.
