Red Jackets Grave•
A movement was lately started in Buffalo,
Itiet7 York, having for its_ object the erection of
a,monunient over the grave of the celebrated
Indian Red Jacket. A meeting vas held, and
a proposition made to open a subscription for
funds to pay for the monument' At the con
clusion of an address on this topic, one of Red
Jacket's descendants, (Dr. Wilson) aroso and
said ;
Ladies and Gentleman:—l wish to detain
you for a moment,l am-one of the descend
ants of Red Jacket, I speak for them. We
have been removed from our homes by the
cunning, treachery of the pale faces. Red-Jack
et, though not a prophet, nor the son of proph.
•etpredictedthat the pale faces would drive I
them from the homes of their fathers; and his'
bones_would rat there.: But let nd pale. face
touch them. He forbid, in his last moments,
the palePface to follow his remains when his
whit should leave _them to unite with the
-Great Spirit. So let the white man not touch
them. We, the few broken remnants of the
SenoCas, will bear - them away with us. Ho
wanted no monument from the hands of the
white .man—ho would not have it. As he for
bade the pale faces to follow him to his rest
ing place, - so he would forbid them to deio
vrate his bones,with their touch. Let not the
White man bestow his unthanked benevolence
there. Let not the philanthropist go there..—:
Red Jacket wants no, monument. . No moon=
meat would preserve his name. His name
will not perish, though behave no monument.
He lives. He lives in thesi, hearts of ours,
and will live as, long as ono heart beats in the
breast of the red man. The white man has
done something for him—he has surrounded
his remains : with a paling,--he has placed a
marble sled over them. Where bit now ?-- I
Piece by piece the curious has 'carried it away
till scarcely one is left. Shouldtliitale faecal

Jacket forbade pale fries - intollo* him to
his grave. Red Jacket would not have theml
.desecrate his bones now resting there. His 1 . 4
prediction that the pale face immigration we'd
roll over these plains and sweep away his 1
tribe, is fulfilled, and I a relative of his deseen
dunts,a few of whom remain yonder, say to
you, white men and white woman, touch not

reason assigned is, the intolerable hard winter,
and the fact that feed was so dried-up and,
scanty last fall. When the winter set in, cat.

I W7 We, publish the following from the
brilliant pen of Col.-J. W. FORNEY, late editor
of the Pennsylranian, now Clerk of the House
at Washington.
-Glances at Cangress4—No. 2.
The retribution of politics is a very instruc
tive lesson to public men. If you' will unfold
the volume of tnemory, and go back to the be
gWning, you will find that rarely has a politi
clan heen dishonest.or corrupt that Ne has not
sooner or later been exposed and' punished.—
So, too, with those popular leaders who have
been persecuted and proscribed; Time, with
them, as with the others, makes kill things even
'at hist. How corrupt men have been punished
our Pennsylvania experience explains while it
admonishes; and there are those whoSe fate is
destined more hilly to confirm the rule. In all
this we may gather a most striking moral.—
Take,:now, the other side, and see' how th•
abused public man has risen abOve his detrac-*
,
tors, Jorix B. WEtter„ who sits next
Janis A. BAYARD,in the S. l , Senate, is an
instance. He hasthe face of aU honest man.
Theie is no insincerity in.that eloquent eye, in
that expressive mouth,With its winning. Smile.
Thep is no' indecision in that graceful and
Well-knit figure. Well, that man ha.s'been '
slandered as if he were a man Made up Of
famies • slandered personally, politically, and
officiall'v.: , He was removed from a high posi.
tionrm *California, amid a torrent of libellous
falsehoods from' head quarters his friend then,
and row his colleague, the manly and straight
forwind Dr. Givm, vindicated him against his
wisafiants. But this was not all. Colonel
WO.rtrt wanted a further endorsement.' He
'went among the masses of California. He be ,
carob as is his good fortune, their favorite and
their friend, and, finally, from among a erostrd
of Ohio and accomplished intellects,'he was
choien to the Senate of the United States by
the Democracy of California.- Reaching here,
he found his chief enemy -EWING , prostrated,
expelled from the Cabinet and defeated for the
Senate! Truly did the great EDamsn BIIRSE
Hay_that it is in the nature and constitution of
things, that obloquy and abuse are essential parts
of triumphs. • Take now . an example on the
other side of the question P.'llatz, of
NeW Hampshire. I speak of him with person
al regard; for I like the man for his honor; his
gOod.natare, and his fearlessness even when in
the wrong. But he deserted his partylor of
ice; ho introduced the abolition serpent into
the.Demoeratic Counsels in Now-Hampshire;
he ruled forli brief period With a high hand;
bat,l two week's ago, another trial was made;
on. the one :side Mr. KALE and his allies, the
Whigs, Abolitionists, Free soilers, and Temp
erance men : on the other theDemoeracy alone
Ire was utterly defeated—routed, annihilated.
So endeth the second lesson. '

has apt yet taken part in . the debates of the
House; but When he'doee, a fine effort-I=y itg
expeoted: He lei won general regard and 'es,
teem since he has taken hie place.. .Virginia
understands 'how to manage her own affairs
and to maintain her influence in Congress bet,
ter than •any' other state,. except -Kentucky,
Tennessee, Isl. Carolina, and S. Carolina. She
acts upon the system' of retaining the services
of a good representative so' long as lie is wil
ling, to come here. • It, is almost incalculable
how a knOwledge of the rules, and of the ma-I
chinery of legislation on the part of members,
helps the State - they represent. According to
our Pennsylvania practice, when - a good man
has got acquainted with the habits and east.
oms of Congress—and it takes at least two
sessions of four years to do it—he is whisked
out of his sCat, to give place to a new man,
who goes through the same routine, and when
he is really influential gives place to anotOr.
Under this sviem the State suffers .beyond
measure—suffers in many of her most essent
ial interests, and sees oth er States Outstripping
her by dint , of the superior experience of their
representatives Virginia for instance has had
