The past etches them no lessons of wisdom, and the future is un-cared for. The pressing necessity of the present is all that engages their attention. They live and move beneath the sun of intelligence

vicious, dissipated, miserable beings. The remnants of two tribes the Miamies and Potawattimies yet remain in Indiana. We passed through several of their villages in descending the Wabash. Their huts arc rudely constructed of logs, and covered w.th bark. The dwelling of tiie chief is distinguished by its position and by its superior finish. They usually choose the. most conspicuous station for the palace if we ma) tlig -ily such an abode vith such a name and build it of brick or of materials not ordinarily used among them.

But in an inauspicious moment, the British ministry conceived the idea ct taxing the colonies, under the preter.eeof providing for their protection, hut in reality to relieve the nation from the immense debt, the weight of which hung heavily upon it. This iuiquitcus scheme, eriinating with the cabinet, was easily introduced in parliament; and in .March, 17C4, as a prelude to the memorable Stamp Ad the house of com
