appear, to strip yourself of any such refuge j of lies. We are not authorised to avenge our own wrong's. To give us redress for our injuries is the province of the constituted authorities of our government. To avenge us for our injuries is the prerogative of Heaven, expressly reserved in the ( barter given us for our government here.

'Vengance i mine, saith the Lord I will repay.1 O sir! This plea, however it may he partly supported in the too partial forum of vour own conscience, or by a bench 1 of modern "bloods," "buHies,"' andugentle- , men of honor,'1 who bend the law to suit j their own cruel and bloody notions, will ; he overruled when you reluctantly "apl pear and plead1 at the "bar1 of the Judge j of all the Earth.

But Logan was an Indian: he was an hereditary enemy of white men. Stop, Sir! If anv pretended friends have

j led you to this precipice, permit me to exi tend a friendly hand and faithfully, though i perhaps to appearance harshly, arrest you i ere your soul is engulphed in the deceitj ful abyss forever. Logan, although an Indian, is a son of ! Adam, our common father. Then surely I he w as not the natural enemy of w hite men. file was hone of your bone, and llesh of I your flesh. Besides, by what authority do j we vauntingly boast of our being white? What principle of philosophy or of religion ! establishes the doctrine that a white skin

is preferable in nature or in the sight of God to a red or black one. Who has ordained that men of the white skin shall he at liberty to shoot and hunt down men of the red skin, or exercise rule and dominion over those of the black? The Indians of America have been more "sinned against

I than sinning." Our forefathers cameaI cross flic broad Atlantic, and taking ad

vantage of their fears and their simplicity obtained a resting place among the Indians then the "lords of the soil," and since that time by a series of aggressions, have taken from them their homes and fne-sides; have preyed them westardly until the? arc

nearly extinct. We have introduced arcioug them disease and vice; we have done to them wrongs which cry to Heaven for vengeance, and which have, in many instances, brought down upon us a severe retribution. Our government has indeed al ways of late years treated with them as with independent people, and have purchased their soil for valuable considerations, but those treaties and purchases have generally been made, either after some great victory while the Indians were humbled by recent defeat, or when our population was pressing upon them, and they were, as it were, beat back by the "tide of emigration." Certain it is, that, under the influence of the wily arts of tiie enemies to our government, they have made war upon us, and, contrary to the rules of civilized warfare, have failed to exempt from the effects of their rage unoffending women and children, and even the unresisting prisoner has been sacrificed to their vengeance. Such is the manner in whicii all savage nations make war. They are not at least guilty of making invidious distinctions to our prejudice, lor they make war in the same manner upon onp. another. If they are savages, as we affect to call

them, what could we expect from them? We, as a civilized and christian people, ought not to retaliate even when smarting under the remembrance of a recent outrage. How much less should we make a savage and unprovoked warfare, in times of perfect tranquility, upon a friendly unsuspecting Indian, w ho, by visiting our territory, had made himself as it were our guest. I feel no wish unnecessarily to harrow up your feelings, but I must ask you why you could not permit Logan to visit his former honuvind to hunt in his native forests? How could you have the heart to make war upon, shoot, and destroy the venerable old chief, whose name ought to have been his passport and protection from Maine to Georgia, and from the Mississippi to the Atlantic? The blood of a Loqan has a second time gone up before Heaven crying a! iid for vengeance. The blood of a Lo cm and a friend of white men" rests upon )our conscience, and has imprinted a stain too deepto be washed out but by the blood of a Rldekmcr. ; I entreat and charge you. that, under a

proper sense of your natural depravity, as well as of all your actual transgressions, you humble yourself before that God,w horn you must shortly meet either as an angrv Judge or a kind Redeemer. is, that vou be now taken to the w hence you came; that you he there detained in close custody of the Sheriff of Madison county, until Wednesday the first day ofDece.nber next, on which day, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon ami 2 o'clock in the afternoon, vou he hanged by the neck until you are DEAD. And a God of mercy have compassion on vour soul.

The culture of the v ine, seems to have become a favorite pursuit with the agriculturists of the present day. There are perhaps not less than 15 or 20 vine yards w ithin as many miles of the Borough of York, Pennsylvania, and nearly all commenced w ithina year or two. Should this disposition iyrease, and as a consequence the wine press be made to take the place of

the distillery, it will benefit the morals of

the community. Among what is called civilized nations, the vice of drunkenness has always been found to prevail most extensively where the vine is not cultivated. To encourage our vine-growers, let them turn their eyes to France. That country, though not the native land of the vine, has at the present day, almost four millions of acres employed in its cultivation. The average production of these immense vineyards, is about one thousand millions of gallons: and the whole annual value of their vintage, about one hundred and 25

millions of dollars. Phil. Pott.
