The act was made for the purpose ofj protecting all the public lands thougii the immediate object was to puie( t a srrs;.ii body of them. The light here contended for, has been exercised b other Governments holding lands inde pendent of individual citizens. Geor gia, within three years, has had her 'gu ird" protecting and preserving the gold mines from the intrusion, anu driving olf those who may attempt to settle there. In an early period of her histo ry,by a general law, she provided fori the removal of the settlers upon the lnji:n laud in her boundaries. I he writen upon general law recognize the; right, and announce it as a duty of the !

W e do know that much distress wdl be occasioned perhaps not so much as the Governor fears but enough to lead any administration to depart from their determination, if consistent with higher obligations than are imposed upon it. To the settlers n calm and tempenate course is most unquestionably tha best. Thet have. been deluded, not so much by the General Government a-s by the Legislature of our State. Much may transpire between this and the 15lh of January to alter the resolution cf the War De partment, and none can question but that the rresulent would not wilhi'jriv adopt any measure calculated to injure the humblest citizens in our country. We ag dn urge the necessity of a moderate and calm course of conduct as the only one calculated to avert tho?e evil? that at this time appear inevitable. JUSTINIAN. TO YOUNG MEN.

this custom. 1 1 is a waste of property. Many families expend, in this way, in obedience of the tiranny of custom, what that they really need to render themselves comfortable, and to educate tliGi'r children. 1 1 is a waste of time. Notice of; the intended visit must be given a day or two beforehand, that the thrifty housewife, in addition to her other labors, or in the accessary neglect of them, may have sullicient time to adjust the needful preparations, It is an intolerable drudgery. I appeal to my female readers for the truth of this statement, and call on the "Female Advocate' to relieve them from this burden. I t destroys the pleasures of visiting, hy the consciousness of being burdensome, on the one hand, and the fatigue and latitude, so difficult to conceal, on the other. And when taken by surprise, or on short notice, the fair visitre is 'cumbered with such servinn' as scarcely to find time to exchange a civil word with her visitant for whole hours together. It excites a vain emulation among neighbors, to excel each odier in the costliness nd luxury of their feasts. and thus tends to encourage prodigalityand all the connected vices oil the age. It fosters dielectic habits prejudicial to the hf"lt", calculated to counteract) ine cvorent aKe, in ia vor ot the promotion ot temperance.

TailIKSIAY. .X(V. 528, 1&V We Slated in our last number that the Commissioners had gone to the Pottawattamie Mills in order loellecta treaty with the pottauattamic tube of Indians, and to pay them their annuity. But their lands being hut a trifle, and tkc Commissioners were becoming very much fatigued, they soon ascertained that the Indians would not dispose ot equently they were paid their dues and dismissed. We insert in to days paper the 4th number of a correspondent in the Cin cinnati Republican, on the subject of the U. S. Bank, which is deserving of an attentive perusal by every person de sirous of information on that subject. The Phenomenon noticed a few weeks since in this place, appears to be generally noticed in all our exchange paper. WTe have received the first number of the 3d vol. of Grek.vban'ks Periodical Library It will be seen by an advertisement in this days paper that the publisher has been at considerable expense to render the Library valuable and interesting, for which, we hope, he will be liberally patronized. By our last northern mail we received the first number of a new paper published at White Pigeon, M. T., entitled the "'Michigan Statesman' hy John D. Defrees, formerly proprietor of the South Bend paper in this State. The Statesman is neatly printed on an imperial sheet, every Monday morning. Our last Indianapolis Democrat, tells us that the State Convention will not convene i.i that place, until the 9th day of December next, which will be on the second Monday. Ifourre?ders recollet, we published ",rf mc some two or three months ago, remark - - - ci 'son to Irahanapohs l Stage line from Madpolis in this State. We ire happy to tell them that such efforts have been successful, and Mr. Jarne II. Wallace, an enterprising citizen of the former place, has got the contract. Consequently a Stage is to be run, next summer, regularly through every day for six days in each week; a distance of between 75 and 80 miles. The following list of contracts from the Indiana Democrat, is our latest received: "Wcare gratified toltarn thai our enterprising citizens, tlie Messrs. Johnsons, have succeeded in obtaining their present contracts for the Stage Routes frwm Cincinnati, via Laivrencer.unjh, to this place, from Terree to Indianapolis, and from Cincinnati. rooliTille, to Indianapolis The con-tr3rtlrtlnIlrioot-o- If. i: 1 '-V wh.th wa. put .a operation by ..,v uu,,,. c uiiueisuuc inev nave or by a company.

Education-, at present, is one of the prevailing topics ami n subject wherein our whole country is interested. We have rtccived the proceedings of a mee ting, held in Madison in this State, on the 3d and 4th Sept. last, which was the first semi-annual meeting of 4,The Association for the improvement of Common Schools in Indiana' It gives us pleasure to notice that the most prominent feature in the Contituwould class it as ;i party institution or as the exertions of hut tow, and conceiving those few as merely seeking power or popularity. We view it less liable to a wrong con?truelion, than any other method in operation at the present age; less calculated to disturb the peace and harmony ofour common country, and to contaminate: public hiuicstv to inter fere with the privileges and rights of man and much less calcinated to destroy ur union, peace and prosperity.

Wc learn by the last Michigan Stairs man, that a meeting of the citizen o,' Michigan Territory was held at Whiu Pigeon, for the purpose of takine ;,ito consideration the subject of a Rail Read "uu?3 tfiuMiri oi Michigan, to conrcctthe Lnkes Er and .Michigan. A committee of four persons were chosen to draft a petition to Congress. The petition and prorecdii gs of tbo meeting, arc as follows: A petition to Congress for a Rail Road which i to connect the waters of Lake? Erie &; Michigan; and lhu, bv ojenii ; a channel for the eradiation of the EnX and for, tlie agriculture and resources of ihc vast lf'ettn be of immense benefit to the United State? ol America. Both necessity, public utility, and national glory impel y our petitioners to entreat the Honorable Congress, the legitimate head of our dear country, to grant the authority and means bv which the above object may be eficctuallv and speedily accomplished. 1st. Let there he commissioners appointed to say where this Rail Road shall be; and thus prevent the bai eful influence of conflicting private interests. 2d. Let there be a liberal charier granted, either to the State, or Tentorial Govemmtnts whose Legislative cooperation is hereby most respectfully solicited or to both, as the case may be or to a private company of individuals' who by subscriptions of stock could immediately raise (such is tlie strength of public confidence) sufficient funds to accomplish the object. 3d. Let such portions cf contiguous lands belonging to the public be granted to the company as is usual, eneonnimt and nonora hie. .

Unc look on the map, aceompaincd hy a single glance into the future destiny of this great Republic, is sulhcient to account for the unanimous opinion and earnest prayers which accompany this petition. The Isthmus of the Peninsula of Michigan which now stands in the way of the prosperity of the West and North-weft of our Country must be obviated: for mo.t of all other things, this Isthmus now stojs the tide of commerce .lowing thither from the east: and impede? the imrr.ci.se emigration which lias hut just begun lo travel from Europe to our happy country . Why should the thousands and ten of thousands of men and w ealth in seek Huron? Let the benevolent patriot arswer this CjUestion when he relied d'-' Congress with a breath can nuke it otherwise. Besides these reasons for the grant ot their request) our petitioners have' son c of a peculiar character, which as tUv deeply affect their interest they are ct impelled to state. The great portion of us, the inhabitants of St. Josephs' country, having o rercome great difficulties in finding ovr wav to this fruitful land are now sobering" severely for want of an out let tc ou&r abundant harvest.
