From the Boston Statesman. LOVE IN THE NEW COUNTRIE ( By Peregrine Penniless. J " O ! love in such a wilderness," How smooth it always runs ! How lucky arc its daughters, How foi'tunate its sons. You never hear of poison, And hanging's out of date. And people will get wedded At some or other rate. i On Monday last, was married Bv Reverend Mr. Cotton, John Hezckiah Smith To Sally Temperance Walton : All of this town." And so it goes, There's very little billet-douxing, Though five and twenty Mr. Smiths, To fifty Wattcns go a wooing. " Cculd a body have you Betsey ?' Well I reckon as you might I'll go straight and ask mamma, And let you know to night." 41 Mama says yes But Pa says no I'll run away if you're inclin'd" 11 No consequence since morning I believe I've chang'd my mind." Once in a while, the prints Give out a 44 Horrid Death. On Wednesday last, Miss Brown Expired from want of breath. Self-hanged ! and love is thought to be At the bottom of the slaughter." Pshaw ! how the daily papers lie "Twas nought but gin and water. A gentleman and lady At a party chat together J With a word or two about their healths, And a word about the weather At ten o'clock the gentleman Sees the lady to the door Which perhaps at most may be about Some three rods eft or more. Now who would think that a thing liHe this Should be the lad's undoing ? Yes the female fntcs have all agreed That a match is surely brewing.

From the Cherokee 'Phenix. INDIAN EMIGRATION" . We had occasion, in the first number of our paper, to publish an ex tract of Col M 'Kenney's letter to the Secretar v of War, on Indian em agration. together with ome remarks of our's which we could not very well avoid, considering our situation, and our views of the subject. An unknown advocate of this new sys tern of emigration has sent us the communication published bebuv. in tended to explain and defend the policy and principles recommended by

col M Ivcnney in theahovemt ntin ed letter. We arc opposed, as on Headers undoubtedly know, to the remov a! of the Cherokees; particularly under such pinciples The objecti

ons to our removal we have nor yet offered to the public, but which will probably, at some future time, be done through the medium of this? paper It may suffice for the present to observe, that it is a matter of great doubt with us, whether this policy of removing the Indians beyond the lim its of any state, is reall y founded upon true friendship, having tor its sole & great end, the good of the. aborigines oi this country. This doubt be convs strengthed from the fart, that
