The neighborhood was indignant at this resolution; but their indignation of a supposed insult to the feelings of the man, who, with all his eccentricities they adored, gave place to aston ishment and horror at the discov ery of the corpse of the stranger, in a secret cavern under the building, and the confession ot Col A le worth that he was the mur defer ot his guest. The unhappy man was tried before the very person whom he had adopted in infancy, and educated; he plead guilty, was condemned, and notwithstanding all the exertions used to obtain a par don executed.

This, he said, they wished to do, but the white men took away their lands and drove them further and further towards the setting sun; and what was worse than all, had sent missionaries to preach and hold meetings among them; that the whites who instituted and attended these meetings, stole their horses, drove off their cattle, and taxed their land. These things he considered their greatest calamity too grevious to be borne The principal object of this visit by these Chiefs was, we understand, to intercede with the Friends, in whose honesty they appear to place the most implicit confidence, to ue their influence to free them from the missionaries now in their borders.
