and their loud wailings must swell the note of uni- hands of Satan in hindering the cause of Indian versal lamentation that rises from the bottomless I Missions, than any other that he has ever employpit forever. Nor will it be difficult to determine i ed. Eut among the natives themselves, when at whose hands their blood will be required. Can undisturbed, there is manifested in general, not it, then, be a matter of indifference to the Amen- j only a willingness but a growing desire to become can Churches, whether they convey them the ! acquainted with the Christian religion. We even

light of life, or leave them in the darkness of death! Where do we learn that the soul of the Indian is Dot as precious as the soul of an African, a Chinese, or an American? All are alike 'endowed with capacities for loving and enjoying God: and other things being equal, the glories of the upper -world, and the torments of Tophit, will be e.xperienced in the same degree by all their respective inhabitants. Seeing, then, the last, the onhj hone for the Indians, depends upon us, how can we remain indifferent to our responsibilities, or their situation? W4io among us, with a perfect knowledge of their spiritual wants, and their dependence upon us to have them supplied, will say they are -.viiling to see the whole nation of red men perishing in their sins almost in view of theirown dweli:ngs, provided they offer up an occasional prayer, or of their abundance bestow a. miserable pittance for the conversion of distant nations? Were they suffering for the food that sustains natural life; were thousands of them every year literally famishing with hunger; the sympathies and energies of the whole nation would be aroused, and relief would quickly be afforded; but when, through want of "the bread of life, they linger and die, and -s-ink to the second death; though their deplorable condition has from time to time been rprea.l before us; though thr-ir humble and earnest entreaties for Christian teachers, daily resound in our hearing, we pass them by almost unheeded. It is a humiliating rejection, that the Americans re under obligations to the surviving red men for reasons very different from any of the "receding. The unfeeling and oppressive manner in w.':jch j their race has been treated by the American Government and People, will be transmitted to our latest posterity, and to foreign nations, to our perpetual shame and reproach: and furnishes a powerful reason why we should now adopt some measures to requite them for the wrongs thev have suffered, a.rul to administer to their spiritual belief, t. The f.rst settlers of this country received on many occasions, hospitality, protection, and numerous distinguished marks of friendship from the natives. They found them in the peaceful possession of the valleys and mountains, the rivers and forests: enjoying unrestrained the natural beauties of Providence. But when the whites begr to increase in number and in strength, they o6 i likewise to make encroachments upon the rights of the Indians. They disregarded, in many instances, the principles of honor, the laws of nations, and the solemn obligations of treaties. lnftead of regarding these feebie, persecuted, but yet independent people, as become a flourishing Christian nation, our course towards them has often been marked with duplicity and cruelty. We have driven then from their firesides, their hunting grounds, the tombs of their ancestors, and every thing they hold dear. We have taken possession of the most healthy, fertile and delightful ppots in America, and banished the original inhabitants, the rightful owners of the soil, among the ueserts and mountains, where the wild beasts of the forests can scarce subsist. 'We have acted towards them as though there was in vs no sympathy for the distressed, no com--passion for the supplicating, nor humanity towards -cur fellow men; nor in tkcm sensibility or feelins, knowledge of right and wrong, nor any resrard for th"-ir own happiness. Whether there is no palliation in our case, or whether the Indians have not on some occasion. merited severe treatment, we stop not now to inquire. Certain it is, however, that thev were once a numerous, powerful and happy people, blest with the native luxuries of the Mississippi "Valley; but now are a handfu! of despised outcasts, subsisting upon the scanty productions of barren wastes; and that the American nation is deeply guilty in their case. Is it not high time now, when we have filled the cup of their sufferings to overflowing, and well nigh exterminated their race, to relax our oppression and atone for our past ingratitude and injustice by sending them the Gospel; elevating them from savace barbarity to a rank among civilized and enlightened people; cheering their earthly pilgrimage with the Christian's hopes; and opening before them life and immortality beyond the grave? Nothing less can discharge tbe long and fearful account thev have against us. Nothing less can remove their deeplyseated antipathies against the whites: or acquit us in the eyes of Him who has said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay it." In conclusion, yve have every encouragement to undertake the conversion of the Indians from the remarkable success that- has attended the few missionary tffons that have been made among them. The happy effects of the Gospel, through the instrumentality of Brainerd ami LUiou, is pleasing evidences that the Lord has blessings in store for these untutored savages: and proofs of their readiness to listen to and regard the things that pertain to their eternal welfare. Nor have missions among them in modern days been less successful. Favorable reports reach us of almost every station announcing a progressive improvement in the outward circumsuiices and moral character of the tribes. Common schools, where the pure principles of morality and the gospel are taught, in connexion with the rudiments of education, are numerous and highly interesting. Converts to Christianity are frequent; and such is their correct deportment, blameless lives, and regular attendance upon the means of grace, that they should put to blush many Christian assemblies in our own land. That some discouragements have attended the efforts to evangelize the Indians, is not denied: but they have principally arisen eith er from the Government of the Ij united Mates, or from avaricious and unprincipled white trailers, whos, introduction of mtoxicaung liquors, h.s scattered amt,g then, fire brands, arrows and death; and has been a more -tfkfent agent in the

, hear of a tribe sending four of their number fifteen

hundred miles to St. Louis, for the sole purpose of learning "how white men talk to the Great Spirit." Whether, from the considerations that have now been offered, the American Churches are under j obligations to do more for the Indians than they j have done, or are now doing, is left for others to i decide. But little, comparatively, has yet been even attempted. Their wants are trreat and nressing. And if any thing be done for them effectually, it must be done speedily. "The mighty current of time is rapidly sweeping them away, and as rapidly pouring them into the abyss below." Whole tribes have already gone down to the grave without leaving one of their number to tell their origin, or their mournful history. Others will soon follow them. It is becoming on us, therefore, if we would save the remnant, no longer to delay the work but to hasten to their relief. K. For the Standard. ARE ROMAN CATHOLICS TO BE REGARDED AS A RELIGIOUS BODY" ONLY? Notwithstanding all thathas been said and written on the subject, an opinion has gone abroad and obtained very general credence, that the war with Topery is mriely a theological controversy, which can have no poi-.-nble bearing upon civil affairs; and this opinion has been one of the greatest difficulties in the way pf Protestants. It is this, that has soothed down our ci'izens into a careless indifference about the matter, of ,vhich, respecting any other subject, they would blush to believe themselves capable; and that has caused evt'"v effort in opposition to Papists to be regarded only as an instance of intolerance, bigotry and persecution in those who made it. While such an opinion is prevalent, the friends of truth may indeed despair of oU ti'iing a balance of pub'ic sentiment in their favor. The discussion of the question which forms the caption of this article then, is of great importance, demanding ,he candid and careful consideration of every American citizen. For if it can be satisfactorily shown that Roman Catholics, as a body, are acquiring and exerting an undue influence among us one which is felt in every department of our civil and political affairs, the call is loud and imperative for an immtdiale and vigorous effort to counteract it; and we cannot too soon commence the work of obedience. And, on the other hand, it it shall be proven that such is not the case, popular indignation should be instantly awakened against those who have so long and perseveringly endeavored to mislead them respecting the character of so many citizens. Immediate action will result in both cases; and as a matter of both policy and justice, the subject should be investigated. In doing this, there will be required no labor of thought or logical disquisition to lead to a conclusion; the question rests entirely upon matters of fact, and an appeal to history and facts of everyday occurrence will speedily decide it: and to this, let us proceed. It is a fact, that the Tope not only claims to be the Ecclesiastical Dictator of the world, but as a temporal prince is in possession of territory and naval and military authority. That every priest is a mere emissary from him, in both those capacities, is proved from the fact that a solemn oath of hatred and hostility to all governments not subject to, or acknowledging him. is essential to their ordination. Had any other foreign power a single agent among us, in similar circumstances, how watchful would we be! It is a fact, that a large portion of the Romish clergy in our country, Are Jesuits an order of men, pre-eminent in the catalogue of conspirators and intriguers against the peace of society, and proverbial for their opposition to all that is liberal and republican, both in politics and religion; who have, at different periods, overturned almost the whole social and civil organization of Europe, to gratify the cravings of ar: inordinate and unholy ambition; and who have been, more than once, forcibly driven from communities whose polity their machinations had disturbed. It is a fact, that a large portion of the revenues of the Romish clergy, in the United States, is re ceived from abroad; that most of the money for the support and extension of the Roman Catholic Church, is derived from foreign association?, regularly organized for this purpose more particularly, from the "Leopold Foundation," a Missionary Society in Austria, under the patronage and sanction of His Holiness, the Tote, and "the Most High and Mighty" Prince Metternich, a man infamous' fcr his cruelty, cunning and arrogance, and the avowed enemy of alt. free institutions. Par nobile fratmm, "birds of a feather.") It is a fact, that a considerable portion of the American press is under the exclusive management and control of Rinnan Catholics; and their publications are distributed over our country in such a manner that the Northern, Eastern, Southern, Central and Western States, are brought at once under their influence. Of the manner in which this influence is exerted, and its effects, but little need be said. None know the tremenduous power of the press better than the Papists, and few employ it more perseveringly and successfully. They slander those w hose promptness and zeal render them formidable opponents; they Jlattcr, most servilely, those whose talents and influence might render them so, if once enlisted against them; they cajole the indifferent, lull the suspicious, and ever represent themrolves the imposing spectacle of the poor, af flicted, "Holv Mother Church," appealing to the magnanimity and liberality of the American people, for protection against malicious persecutors! By thus becoming, emphatically, "all things to all i men." ami In- yt..iIv ,,! i,...s, ;,..,,..,,i;i.i j giving every department of literature a bim in favor of j ,,,, ,llry aro IU)t only turning many from the paths of truth, but are act.tallv revolution, our Ac rwtn,ry, and preparing "the way for implicit

obedience, when the time and opportunity for their ecclesiastical usurpation shall have come. It is also a fact, that many of the schools, academies and institutions of learning in our country, are established and supported under the auspices of Roman Catholics. This may be deemed an unimportant circumstance, if not a redeeming trait in their character. We are so much aware of the importance of education, and are so much in need of institutions for its dissemination, that we hail their establishment, by any persons, as an effort for our melioration. But when it is recollected that these institutions are founded, on principles apparently liberal, for the express purpose of training up a generation of, or favorably disposed to, Papists, and thus ensnaring protestants to furnish the means for their own destruction, we cease to look upon the numerous convents, nunneries, COLLEGES, ORPHAN ASYLUMS, and FREE SCHOOLS, which are scattered up and down our country, under the supervision of the beneficent "Sisters of

Charity," and the benevolent order of Jesuits, with any feeling short of abhorrence and alarm. It is a fact, upon the authority of the Lady Superior of the late Ursuline Convent, that the clergy can, at any time, command the assistance of thousands of "brave Irishmen," and others, doubtless, in the service of the church. It is a fact, that the civil authorities of our cities are, in some instances, compelled to implore the aid of Ihe Roman Catholic clergy in restraining the violence of ilie mob. Thus we perceive that there exists among us a power, not only unknown to our constitution and laws, out actually in opposition to both, emanating from and supported by foreign governments, dif fering essentially from our own; which is ready at any tittie, to break out into actual rebellion, and which is even now, restrained only by motives of policv from so doing; which has already degraded our ri;'g, invaded the right of property and done violence to the feelings of our citizens, and compelled our civil oncers virtually to acknowledge the legality of lis existence; and yet, which is gradually possessing itself of wealth, station and inlluence among us! After this enumeration, is any reference to the thrones usurped, the rulers degraded, the institu tions overthrown, the liberties trampled upon, an j the people subjugated or inassacred, with which the annals of Jesuitism abound, required to convince every one that prompt and energetic action is necessary to check the advances of such a power? Citizens of America! Be notdeceived! An enemy to your vital interests, more cunning and persevering and deadly than the "Philistines, is upon you," yea, in your midst! J. O. T. The following fact, illustrative of the success with which the weapon of flattery has been wielded, is somewhat amusing. Not many weeks since, an article appeared in the Catholic Telegraph, Cincinnati, prefaced by an editorial "puff direct" of the paragraph, as coming from the "polished pen" of the "talented Editor of the Western Monthly." The following remarks forthwith appeared from the pen of the latter: "The College BardstownJ Mistains a high reputation, and judging from the number of its alumni, has been eminently useful in extending the facilities for liberal attainments in this young State. Perhaps it is wrong for me to say so at all events; it is very unfashionable to speak of the Catholics in any tpnns than those of bitter denunciation. But as I am in the habit of condemning whatever I think wrong, without respect to persons, I think it right to lie equally frank in giving credit wherever 1 think it deserved. I am as sound a heretic as ever lived, and am as thoroughly alarmed at the reports lately circulated of horrible machinations of popery, and especially at their diabolical wickedness in digging profound dungeons under all their churches, for the purpose of introducing the attrocities of the inquisition, as a good protestant ought to be. But, then, I have no great objection to their colleges, nor to any other institutions which disseminate sound learning. I did not visit that at Bardstown nor will I ever enter the walls of any place under the dominion of the scarlet lady, who presides at Rome, without having received ample security, that I shall not be stretched upon the rack, or tortured with the thumb-screw but 1 walked cautiously around the fence, which incloses the grounds, and peeped through, expecting to see the monks gliding about mysteriously among the trees, and the students, wan with pennance, moping in solitary grief under the long shadows of the academic groves. All I saw, was a very handsome building, with a beautiful lawn before it, a sedate looking gentleman or two, and a fewruddy youth; and I came away with the impression, that a Catholic college, so far as outward appearances go. looks very much like any other seminary of learning, and with a very strong desire to examine, for myself, whether "there is any real difference in the inside." West. Month. .Mag. Ao. XXV. page 22-3. This was precisely the point aimed at by the wary Editors of the Telegraph, and they speedily followed up their success by another"pu(T!" The Western Monthly was now formally absolved from ail past offences for such there had fccei- and, in the most complimentary manner, recommended to the patronage of all good citizens and Tapists, as having made amends for its misdeeds and become quite orthodox; accompanied, moreover, with a promise to obtain for Judge Hall all that he wished in the way of it formation , ice. and as much more, provided, doubtless, that he would make a similar use of it, as in duty bound. For the Standard. FUGITIVE THOUGHTS. Every person has his faults, many of which may be eousideie I trivial when viewed alone, hut these help to form tlie character, and influence the manners and foitune through life, while the individual may be wholly unacquainted with them. To obtain a thorough knowledge of ourselves, of our faults and imperfections is at the same time the most difficult and the most important pari of education. The most important, because w ithout it, all other knowledge is comparatively useless; the most dilucult,berause we are naturally deceived with regaid to our true character. Even when attempting to examine ourselves, we are prone to view our good qualities in a better light than they deserve, and entirely neglect (or are so blind as not to perceive) our imperfections. "From these facts we may learn our need either of ingenuous friends, or bitter enemies. The former will faithfully tell us of our faults; the latter will first acquaint others with them. The highest office of friendship, consists in seeking the mental ami moral improvement of tie objects of regard, and those persons are more dang-rous than avowed enemies, who, while professing to be actuated by this holy principle, Hatter the vanity, fad to point out faults, and tu administer reproof and admonition when needed. The wie

man in "learning ftt'rrue"" will take advantage both of in. genunui friendj and bittel- enemies, and will frequently learn more respecting his real character, from the latter than the former class, for this reason, that he is sellom willing to believe his faults greater than they arc represented, and the eye even of a faithful friend does not view tiiem in their worst light.

Parties in Engtind. As very general curiosity is evinced to know in what manner parties are at present divided in England, it nvght, in some measure, satisfy that cuiiosiiy to staie, that there are at present six political parties in that country. 1. The Ultra 'Pones, of which Lord Eldon is the chief or head. Tney are of course opposed to all reform, political or religious. 2 The Moderate Tories, who are led by the Duke of Wellington and Sir Ktib rt Peel. It is supposed they will consent to a temperate reform. 3. The Semi VVhi;;?, as they are called, the most conspicuous membirs of which are Lord Stanley, Sir J. Graham, and ti.rDukeol Richmniul, seceders fiom the administration of Lord Grey. 'Phis parly is very small and incline most to the moderate lories. 4 The Moderate Whigs, the party late in power; at whose head are Lord Melbourne and Lord Brougham.

The latest accounts from Ihe seat of war in the North represent the recent victories of Mioa over the Carlists, as more decisive than had been supposed.

The Queen's troops are in full pursuit of the defeated and scatteietl corps of the enemy, and it is stated that Mma undertakes to bring the revolt to a speedy close, if supplied with the means necessary to follow up his advantages.
