awav, I beretore it is resolved by the

Chief- in Council, that a rop of this Ik

disposition of the citizens of the United

States, to ret tier justice to those of their

fellow -creature s w ho have not the full

means within tbemelves of communicating their resolves, or of defending their

just rights against rr.ab'Volent designs of thoe who seek to entrap them to ruin and d truc tion ; it is confidently hoped, that this publication will become general thro the pre, so that it ruav be known to the

World that the CVv r jrpfr me not (lip)s'd

to stll t,nr J out more j (heir iunrts. That are fat pro:ressii i; in the arts of civil iz ition cannot be doubted. Take for instance, a correct etirnate of the quantities of homespun manufactured bv the Upper Creeks, i. e. only thoe inhabiting the waters of the Coosa and Talapoosa, which ha been kept from the annuity of I 23 to that of 1 G 24. This amounts to upwards f)f thirtv thousand vard. And we are happy to say, that agriculture at d other art, of civ ilization are equally fast improving. The benevolent societies now in operation in ( ur country, bv whose care a number of our children are now under tuition, promise to do well; and under this system of -due -ation, we hope to ascend the hill of science, w here happiness and virtue are to bo foud: and in the atta'n ment of these blessing we are determined toremain on the soil w hich gave us birth, and in our own native land, where rests the remain of our ancestors; there also shall i.:i.i : .. . i

uui i niiuini use m piopeiuv aria Happiness, or sink in adversity. We acknowledge we are weak, and reduced to a handful and we know that our white brothers are strong and numerous, as the trees of our forests: vet mav we not hope to receive that justice w hich our important case requires? Our father the President loves us. and is now doing much to improve the c ondition of us his red children. Under his fostering hand we hope we have nothii g to fear. lie view with delight outrapid improvement i , c ivilization; and we now leave it to our chr istian brothers, the white people, to say, if it would not be hard a d painful to see us driven from our houses, our fields, our country, and from the privileges wc cow en jot , to a land where the temptation would he great to lav aside the axe, the plough, the wheel, and the Joern, and betake thom Ives again to the Uhfor innate employ incut of hunting.

Poverty. A man without money is a body without a soul, a .walking corp, and a horrid spectre. His address is sad and awkward; his conversation tedious and troublesome. If he go to visit any one, he novnr finds him at home; and if he open bis mouth to speak, be is immediately interrupted, lest he should terminate

ins discourse by asking money. He is shunned as one infected, and considered an useless burden upon the earth. If be have wit be cannot show it; and if lie have none, be is regarded as the most hideous two-legged monster tluit nature tan produce. Hiw enemies snv he is worthless; and '.those who are the most moderate in speaking of him, qualif their praise by shrugging up their shoulders. Necessity wakes him in the morning, and misery .attends him at night. The women find him graceless in the extreme. His host wishes he could, like the carnelion, live upon air; and his tailor, that he would clothe himself like our first parents. If he at

tempt to leason, no one attends to him; if: he sneeze, no one perceives it; if be want j an thing from a tradesman, he is asked to ;

pay for it beforehand; and if be ntracts debts, lie is looked ujon as a la;aYc.

Extract. I never shun a grave-vard the thoughtful m danchoh which it inspires is gratehil rather than disagreeable to me. It gives me no pain to tread on the green roof of that dai k mansion, u hose chamberI miM occupy soon and I often wander from choice, to a plat e where there is neither solitude or society. Something hu man is there but the fdlv, the bu-tle. the vanities, the pretension?., the pride ot humanity are gone. Men are there, but their pa-ioi! are hushed, and their spirits are still malevolence has lo-t its power of 'arming appetite is sated, ambition lies low, and ItM i- cold- auger has done raging, all disput'-s have ended, all reveln h over, the idlest anirnoit is deeph buried, and the darkest sins are saf'elv confined by the thicklv piled ( 1- ds of the valleyice is dumb and powerless. and virtue is waiting in silence, for the oice of

African Legitimate. "ThU monarch (king of Asliantee) was seated on a massive gold throne, under the shade of an artificial tree with golden leaves. His bodv extremely lean and inordinate! tall, was smeared over with tallow mixed up with gold dust. An European bat, bound with broad gold lace, covered bis bead; his loins were encircled with a sash of golden cloth. From his neck down to his feet, cornelians, agates and lazulites, were crowded in the form of bracelets and chains, and his feet rested on a golden basin. The Grandees of the realm lav prostrate

on the ground, with their beads covered

with dust. A hundred complainers and

accused persons were in a similar posture; .I ..

hern; u mem twenty executioners, with

drawn sabres in their bands, waited the royal signal, which generally terminated

each cause by the decapitation of one or

other of the parties. The Danish Envoy,

passing a number of bloody beads, recently-

separated from the body, approached the

throne. 1 lie magnificent flaming prince
