INDIAN EKI3DITIOR It mult affoid a plea (nig reflection to eve ry liberal mind to find that the attempts to civilize and inftruft the Indian tribes in the Inuth western Quarter of the United States, have at length fntceeded, and that the un fortunate Ab-origines have at length fomc thing more to boast of than the ?.cquifitton of the mere vices of their white neighbors. Indeed the study of history and the writing it too, must have been for foms written the history of a nioft unmerciful and bloody tyrant the Emperor called Cat togolli ; but he did mention over what nation or traft of country he reigned ; who wrote his laws in such I'm'll characters and placed them on' such high pillars as to render them not legible by 'the people. Tis. we must own, the fir<\ instance we have met with of Nations of Indians being capable of reading, or their rulers of w-iting their laws. The public, no doubt, will be high ly gratified by the production of the works of Dio-CafTus, and particularly of that part which relates to the r-.ign of the wicked monster Cattagoili. * It is true that Mr. Cocke did hot erprefsty fay this- was an Indian author, Hut a* there is no mention either in ancient or modern history of the author Dio-Cafius, or the Empcor Cattagolli, they must he of the Indian Tribes in the gentleman's neighborhood, perhaps the warriors of the Stmi uoties. COMMUNICATION, The productions of genius, Eloquence and feeling, which a late melancholy event, has called fo'rth, will no doubt become the sub* je£t of fair and rigid criticism :—lt will be a pleating and ailful undertaking, to feleft their beauties, compare their merits, aud class them in the just order of precedence : perhnps no Species of composition is attended with more difficulties:—the.JEulogift, who can give novelty, or add new conceptions, in difpTaying personal virtues, must poflefs uncommon powers—for what can now be {aid, which ha?, not been repeated an hun dred times of heroes, flatefmen, pTnloibphrrs, and faints, in ages past ?—Several very beautiful Orations have already made their appearance : thofe who are conversant in this kind of reading ; many of them can boast of little originality :—That pronoun ced at Trenton on the 14th of February, by Doctor Smithy Prefidcnt of Princeton Col lege—for grace fu.lnds of cliltribution and comorehenfidn of fubjec>, for fine imagina tion. and brilliant exprcllious, as yet has no competitor: there is to be found in mofl: of the others, neatness, and in some forcfe of thought; but ibis feerns to unite beauty with sublimity, and elegaticc with truth. The vast pTeafure which it has affortled me, and the define I feel that so fine an ef fort of a great mincl, may be universally read and enjoyed, demands this tribute from one of your fubfc fibers.
