CORNPLANTER.
Jrom Daj'i History of Pemuylvanla.
Few names are more distinguished in the
frontieir history of Pennsylvania tliun that
of Ccrnplantcr. His Indian name was (7a-mo-di-euh,
or Handsome Lake. lie was
born at Conewagus, on the Genesee river;
being a half-breed, the son of a white man
named John O'Bail, a trader from the Mo
hawk valley. In a letter written in lafcr
years to the govenor of Pennsylvania,
bo thus speaks of his early youth :
"When I was a child I ployed with the
butterfly, the grasshopper, and the frogs j
and as I grew up I began to pay some, at
tention and play with the Indian boys in
the neighborhood ; and they took notice of
my skin being of a different color from theirs,
and spoke about it, I inquired of my
mother the cause, and she told mc that my
father was a resident in Albany. I still
ato my victuals out of a birch dish. 1
I gr;w np to bo a young man, and married
mc a wile, and I had no kettle or gun. I
then knew where my father lived, and went
to f!o Lim, and found he was a white man
an i spoke the English language. Ha gave
mo victuals while I was at his house, but !
when I started to return home, he gave me
no provision to eat on the way. lie gave
me neither kettie nor gun."
Littlo further is known ot his enrly life
beyond the fact that he was allied with the
.French in the engagement ngaihst Gen.
Braddock in July, 1775. He wa3 proba.
ably at that tiuio at least twenty years
old. During the revolution he was a war
chief of high rank, in the full vigor of
manhood, active, sagacious and brave ; and
he most probably participated in the prin
cipal Indian engagements against the Uui
ted States during the war. lie is supposed
to have been present at the crudities of
Wjomingand Cherry Valley, in which the
Senecas took a prominent part, lie was
on the war-path with Brant during Gen.
Sullivan's campaign, in 1779 ; and in the
following year, under Brant and Sir John
Johnson, he led the Senncas in sweeping
through the Schoharie Kill and tho Mo
hawk. Ou this occasion he took his futh
er a prisoner, but with such caution as to
ovoid an immediate rccoanizatioa After
marching the old man some ten or twelve
miles, he stepped before him, faced about,
and addiesscd him in the following terms ;
"My name is John O'lJail, commonly
' called Cornplanter. I am your son ! You
are my father ! You are now my priacner,
and subject to the customs of Indian war.
faro, hut you shall not bo harmed. You
need not fear. I am a warrior! Many
are the sculps wluea 1 have taken ! many
prisoners I have tortured to death I I am
your son. I was anxious to see yen, and
greet you in friendship. 1 went to your
cabin, and took you, by force; but your lite
shall be spared. Indians love their friends
and their kindred, and treat them with kind.
ness- It now you choose to follow the for
tunes of your rcllow son, and to live with
our people, I will cherish your old age with
plenty of venison, and you shall live easy.
But it it is your choice to return to your
fields and live with your whito children, 1
will send a party of my trusty young men to
conduct you back in safety. I respect you,
mv father, lou have been friendly to In
dians. and they aro your friends." The
cider O'Bail preferred his white children
pat! green fields to his yellow offspring and
the wild woods, and chose to return.
Notwithstanding his bitter hostality while
the war continued, he became tho fast
friend bf the U. S., when once the hatchet
was buried. His sagacious iutelcct com
prehended at a glance the ernwin2: power
of the Uuited States, and the abandonment
with which Great Dritiau had requited the
Lidelity of the fcenccas- Uo therefore
threw all his influence, at tho treaties of
Fort Stanwix and Fort Harmar in favor of
peace; and, notwithstanding tho vast con
cessions which he saw his people were ne-
cessitated to make, still, by his energy and
prudenco in tho negotiation, he retaiued for
them an ample and beautiful reservation.
For the course which he took on those oe.
eisions the state of Pennsylvania granted
him the fine reservation upon wthich he
resided, on the Allegheny. The Senecas,
however were never well satisfied with his
courto in relation to these treaties : and lied
Jacket, more artful and eloquent than his
elder rival, but less frank and honest, seized
upon this circumstance to promote his own
Dopularitv at the expense or Ciornpnnter.
Having buriied the hatchet, Cornplan.
ter Bought to make his talents useful to his
people by conciliating the good-will of the
x whites, and securing lron turther encroach
ment the little remnant of ti.:s national do
main, on more than one occasion, when
some reckless and bloodthirsty w'ates on
tho frontier had massacred unoffouding
Indians in cold blood, did Cornplanter ic
torfere to restfain the vengence of his pcos
pie. During all the Indian wars from
01 to 1794, whieh terminated with Wayne's
treaty, Cornplanter pledged himself that
the Senecas should remain friendly to the
Uuited States. He often gave notice to
the garrison at Fort Franklin of Intended
attacks from hostile parties, and even has
arded bis life on a mediatorial mission to
the WesterP tribes. He ever entertained
a high respeat.and personal friendship for
Gen. Washington, 'the great councelor of
the Thirteen fires,' and often visited him,
duri bis presidency, on the business of
bis tribe. His speeches on these occasions
exhibit both his talent in composition and
his adroitness in diplomacy. Washington
fully reciprocated bis respect and friedship.
They had fought against each other ul
Braddock'i field. ' Both were then young
men. More than forty years afterwards,
when Washington was about retiring fiom
tssmmmmmmm
the presidency, Cornnlanter made a srieninl
visit to Philadelphia to take an affectionate
leave of the great benofactor of the white
man and' the ted.
After peace was pormantly established
between the Indians and the United States,
Cornplanter retire from public lite and de
VOtedJiis labors, to his own people. He
deplored the evils nf intemperance, and ex
erted himseir to suppress it. The benevo
lent efforts of missionaries among his tribe
always received his encouragement, and at
one time his own heart seemed to be soften.,
ed by the words of truth ; yet ho preserved,
in his latter years, many of the peculiar
notions of the Indiun faith.
In tho war of 1812-14, when the Sene
cas took up tho hatchet in alliance with the
United States. Cornplanter appears to have
taken no active part ; but his son, Major
Henry O'lJail, and his intimate friend and
neighbor Ilalf'town, were conspicious in
several engagement on the Niagra frontier.
Rev. Timothy Aiden, then president of
Allegheny' Cillcge, who visited Cornplan.
ter in 1816, thus discribes the chief and
his village :
"Jennescdaga, Cornplautcr's village, is
on a hausome piece of bottom laud, and
comprises about a dozen buildings. It was
grateful to notice the agricultural habits ol
the place, and numerous enclosures of buck.
wneur, corn aim oats. v e also saw a num
ber of oxen, Cows and horses : and many
ogs designed for the saw mill and the Pitts
burg market. Last year, 1815, the Wes
tern Missionary Society established school
in the village, under Mr Samuel Uldhum.
Coriiplunter) as soon as apprised of our ar
rival, came over- to fee us, aud took charge
of our horses. Though havingniany around
him, to obey his commands, yet, ifl the an
cient patriarchal stylo, he chose to serve us
himself, and he actually went iuto the
field, cut oats, and fed our horses, he ap
pears to bo about GS years of age, and 5
tcet 10 inches in height. His countinance
is strongly marked with intelligence and
reflection. Coutiarv to the aboriginal cus
tom, his chin is covered with beard three
or four inches in length. His house is of
princely dimensions compared with most
Indian huts, and has a piazza in front. lie
is owner of 1,300 acres of cxceleut land,
GOO of which encircle tho ground -plot of
his little town. He received an annual sti
pend from the United States of 250.
Cornplanter a brother, lately deceased, cal
led the prophet, was known by the high
sounding name Gosltukficaniui KunnciVc.u,
or Large Beautiful Luke. Kinjnquade,
the name of another ohief, siguihcd the
place of m ivy sties; henco paobahjy the
name of Kinjna."
In 1821-22 the commissioners of ar
ren co.
assumed the ritht to 'ax the
pn
vate property of Cornplanter, and proceed-
cd to enforce its collcstiou. The old Chief
resisted it, conceiving it not to be only un-
awful, but a persocal indignity, lhe
client! again appeared with a small posse
of artr.ed men. Cornplanter took thedepu
tatiori to a room around which were ran
sed about a hundred rifles, and, with the
sententious brevity of an Indian Chief, in
timated that 'or each riile a warrior wou:d
appear at his call. The sheriff and his'men
speedily withdrew, determined, however, to
call out the militia, fcevcrai prudent eui
zcr.s, fearing a sanguary collision, sent for
the old chief in a friendly way, to come to
arren and compromise the matter. He
came, and after some pursuasion, gave his
note for the tax, amounting to 43,73. He
addressed, however, a remonstrance to the
governor of PeDnsylvania,soliciting a return
of his money, and an exemption from such
demands against land the state itself had
presented to him. lie met them at tho
courthouse in Warren, on which occasion
he delivered the following speech, eminent,
ly characteristic of himself and his race :
"Urotbers : Yesterday was appointed for
us all to meet here. The talk which the
governor sent us plcasod us very much. 1
thiuk that the Great Spirit is very much
pleased that the white people have been in
duced so to assist the Indians as they have
doue, and that ho is pleased also to see the
great men of this state and of tho United
States so friendly to us. We are much
pleased with what has been done."
"The Great Spirit first made the world,
and next thu flying animals, and all things
good and -prosperous. lie is immortal and
everlasting. After finishing the flying on
iunls, ho came down on earth and there
stood. Theu he made dffercnt kinds of
trees, and weeds of all sorts, and people
of every kind. Ho made tho spring and
other seasons, and tho weather suitible for
planting. These he did make. IJut titills
to make whiskey to bo given to Indians hi;
did not make. The Great Spirit bids me
tell the white peoplo not to give Indians
this kiod of liquor. When the Great spir.
.it had made the earth aud its animals, he
went into the great lakes, where he breath
ed as easily as any where else, and then made
all the different kinds of fhh. Tho Great
Spirit looked back on all that ho had made.
The different kiuds he mado to be seperate,
and not to mix with and disturb each other
But the whito people have brokeu his com.
mand by mixing their color with the In
dians, The Indians have done better by not
doing so. The Great Spirit wishes that all
wars and fighting should cease."
"He next-told us that there were three
things for our people to attend to. First we,
ought to take c are of our wives aud chil
dren. Secondly, the white peoplo ought
to attend to their farms and cattle. Third
ly, the Great Spirit has given the bears and
deers to the Indians. He is tho cause of
all things that exist, and it is very' wicked
to go agttiust his will. The great Spirit
wishes me to inform the people that they
should quit drinking intoxicating drink, as
being the cause of disease aud death, fie
told us sot to sell any more of our lands,
for he never sold lands to any one. Some
of us now keep the seventh day ; but I wish
to quit it, for the Great Spirit made it for
others, but not for the Iudians, who ought
every day to attend to their business lie
has ordered me to quit driukingany intox
icating drink, and not to lust after any wo
men but my own, and informs me that by.
doing so I should live the longer. lie
made known to me that it is very wicked
to tell lies. Let no one suppose what I
have said now i? not tru.'
"I have now lo thank the Governor fnr
what he has done. I.have informed him
what the Great Spirit has ordered me to
ceaso from, and I wish the governor to in.
form others of what I have communicated.
This is all I have at present to say."
ine old cinct appears alter thispain to
have fallen into entire seclusion, inking
part even lFlhe politics of his people- He
died at his residence on the 7th of March
1830, at the age of 100 years and upwards.
whether at the time of his death he expeo.
ted to go to the fair hunting-ptounda of his
own people or to the heaven of the Chris
tian, is not known."
"Notwithstanding his profession of Chris
tianity, Cornplanter was very superstitous.
Not long since, says Mr. Foote, of Chau
tauquo co., ho said the Good Spirit had told
him not to have anything to do with the
white people, or even to preserve any me
mentoes or relics that had been given to
him, from time to time, by the pale faces;
wherenpon, anioug other things, he burnt
up his belt, and broke his elegant sword."
HAS THE DEBT BEEN DIMIN
ISHED! The State of New-Hampshire elects her
Governor and Legislature on the 1st. Tuesday
in March ; and the Sham Democracy of that
State are as intent on discrediting the re
duction of the National Debt as they were
six years ago on distrusting reports of Un
ion victories. In view of these efforts, the
lion. A. 11. Cr.igin recently addressed a
letter of inquiry to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who responded as follows :
Tkeasury Department, Feb, 71870,
Silt : I reply briefly to your letter of the
4th inst, in reference to the amount of pub
nc debt on mo 1st. oj iuaren, isun, as
compared with the amount on the 1st of
February, 1870.
The net amount of the public debt on the
1st of March 18(19, iucluding iuterest ao
crucd and not paid, and excbidinq 4?aei(ie
Railroad bonds,, was $2,52.5,403,200 01
The principal of the bonds then issued to
the Pasifio llailroad Ouypanies was 53
937,000, or an aggeagato liability and in
dentedness of 32,579,100,200 01.
On the 1st of February, 1S70, the amount
of the debt, excluding bonds issued to tho
Pacific llailroad Companies, and including
interest accrued and noi paid, was 82,441,
813,288 92. The bonds issued to tho Pa
cific llailroad Companies at the latter date
amounted to 04,457,320, or nn aggregate
liability and indebtedness of $2,509,270
008 92.
It thus appears that the liability of the
United States on account of the pacifiie
Railroads has been increased during the
eleven months, under acts of Congress pre
viously passed, to the amount of 810,52'),
During the same period of eleven months,
tho direct debt of tt:e Unrtod States has
been diminished 880,649,971 09; and, if
the increased libailify of tho Uuited States
on account of the Faenc Railroads be ad
ded, there still remains afl actual diminu
tion of the total public debt of the Uuited
btates, direct and contingent, during tnese
eleven months, of $70, 129,051, 09.
These statements aro based upon the
books of tho Treasury Department, ami
cannot in any way he impcucli d. Very
respectfully, your obodieet servant,
George S. Bout welt,. Secretary.
The lion. A. II. Gr.Afiiw, Uuited States
Senate, Washington D. C.
We beg our fricudj who are anxious
to stop payiug off (he National Dcpt to
judge whether it would be better 'for the
Republican cause that we had paid nothing
during tho year now closing. It seems to us
that the Debt will bo felt as a heavier loi.d
from the hour that we stop reducing it.

THE BAR RICA DES
Paris has again, after nineteen years'
pause, jusued to the barricades. Ou Tues
day, upon tho arrest of M. Pioehefort a
multitude of his friends raised the cry
of revolt on a signal from M Gustavo Flou
rcus, who declared that insurrection had
begun. Forthwith, Paris with its old fury
began to tear up its Btrccts and turned over
its omuibuses, and to make at least several
quarters of the city a scene ot war. Belle
villo and La.Villctte, and tho neighborhood
of the Montmartre, were chosen for its dem
onstration; Upon this part of the city the
lavish genius of Caran Ilaussmann for spend
jng the money of Frenchmen in order to
make it a greater architectural possibility io
shoot thera down, has not been fully exer-
eiscd.
The world is not surprised to hear that
the Parisians have attenpted insurrection
nor will it be astonished to hear that tho
attempt has been suppressed. The one
hundredthousad soldiers which Napoleon
knows how to turn in upon Paris at a mo
ment's notice ought to be competent to
make him master of the situation. Cu
riously, their number is just the same as
that wherewith a usurper one bloody De.
cember overthrew the liberties of Franco.
It is the faral number of the coup d'etat.
Lookipg back upon .the day wlien fraud
reared its throne upon tnassapre no man can
predict that Napoleon will be more merci

firm and his well-trained soldiers are pro

time that Napoleon perpotrated one of the
crudest, most sweeping slaughters of a peo
plo and its liberties on record. He did it,
it is true, in the name of the people, as Dan.
ton, Robcspiearre, and other' less sagacious
students of French nature had done before
him. All that wo need remember just
now is that he did a dishonest aet in a mur
derous spirit. It was not his fate to be un.

and his country more than hirnsclf, but to

The Mamelukes of the French Dress, and
the flunkeys of.he English and American
press, had a chance to show their iustincts
when a citizen of Taris was murdered by
a Prince for challenging a Bonaparte.
Now Paris in desperation challenges an
other Ronaqarte. Will he, too, murder
his fellow-citizens if they excite him ?
and then, what will the flunkeys say ? This
latest demonstration is likely enough ta be

next day of weakening disintegration. For
