'Titti POOR INDIAN.
The opr-ration of the beneficial policy of
Uib government towards the Indians will be
been in tiio extract wo givo from Senator
Sevier's speech, lie is nonr tho new
residence of tho tribes, and understands
milch better their condition, lhaif those re
mote "political sympathisers" who, having
exterminated the tribes in their own region
Tsxptats tho sin by exclaiming "tho poor In
dians 1"
"Within the liny'ts of the proposed Ter
ritory, there are eighteen emigrant tribes,
number in population about 73,200, and
there are eight indigenious tribes, whose
aggregate number is about21,G00, making
in all about 95,000. In this estimate, I have
Viol included the wild Indians of the prairio
tor the mountains, or those residing north of
Ihe Missouri, or around the sources of tho
tIississippi, as all of these aro without the
limits of the Territory. Of those whoso
condition wo arc now considering, tho prin
cipal and most influential, and, with a few
individual exceptions, by far tho best in
formed and eivilizcd, aro the Ohoctaws, the
Chickasaws, the Chcrokccs and Creeks.
Many of these havo learned our language,
our religion, our literature, our agricultural
pursuits, and mechanic arts. Some of
them studied our form of government, and
liave organized their Government, for their
'respective tiibes in imitation of ours. They
have printing presses mnong them ; they
publish newspapers in the English and In
dian languages. Thoy print their school
books and almanacs, etc. ; and Guess, a full
blooded Cherokee, and an untutored sav
ngei has has had the lasting honor ofrj in1
venting for tho GhcrokeeB their alphabet
Several of the tribes provided for tho estab
lishment of flc!ltfoIs4 seveial of which arc
now in operation, at which some hundreds
of Indian youths are how annually educa
ted. Several of the tribes have set apart
large sums of money forovcf of which our
Government is trustee, for purposes of ed
ucation. And sir, as you arc well aware,
there arc now annually educated .at your
residence, in tho heart of Kentucky, some
two or three hundred Indian boys, at tho
Voluntary expense of tho Indians them1
selves. These lribs3 havo among them
several shrewd, intelligent, wealthy native,
merchants, who annually import into the
country many thousand dollars worth of
merchandise.
"They have mills and gins, and cotton
farms, and in 1837, the Choetnws made and
sent to market GOO bales of cotton, which
was worth upwards of $20,000.
"Thoy raise every year a large surplus
of corn, hogs, and cattle, which they dis
pose of in part by contract, to Government,
to feed the emigrating Indians, and supply
the troops of our garrison. But sir, as this
inquiry must be interesting to the Senate, I
will be more particular, and road a few ex
tracts from the work I havo previously re
fitted to. Speaking of the Chtfctaws, the
author of this work says:
"They aro improving in civilization and
comfort. Their houses and .fields indi
cate a good degree of industry. Many
have largo farms. They own much live
stock, such as horses, caltlo sheep and
swirte and are pretty well supplied with
farming utensils. They own about 000 ne
gro slaves.
"Thoy own three flouring milh, two
cotton gins, eighty-eight looms, and 'two
hundred and .twenty spinning wheels.
They have thirtccen native merchants, be
sides white men engaged in the same busi
ness." If these statements are not overcharged,
the present century may not expire before
wo have on our borders a republic of red
men, whoso politics it will ha necessary
to understand, and whoso friendship may
become of great importance to the dwellers
in the lower .valley of the Mississippi.
Hitherto, the Anglo Saxon race has met
with little success in civilizing tho Indians ;
but now that the Aborigines are meeting
the efforts of the Government half way,
perhaps tiie next feneration will' witness
the rise of aboriginal communities and
States eclipsing in the art? of civil life, and
the science of government, all we read of
in the narratives of tho historians of the
10th century, touching Mexico and Peru.

THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
"thutii without tr.Art "
This No. 5S completes one year Ginco
the " Columbia Democrat" came into the
hands of tho present publisher! anil to suuh
as Irave complied with tho terms of publica
tion his thanks are due, a3 they havo as
sisted to lighten tho burthen of a printer's
tiotiblcs, which are, at best, almost too
"heavy to bo borne." Those who havo
not, will confer a favor, not only on the pub
lisher, but on his creditors, by handing over
tho ready in due season.
REMOVAL.
Tho Office of the 'Columbia Democrat'
is removed into the building opposite St.
Paul's Church, Main-street.
In commencing a new volume of " The
Columbia Democrat, it will not be amiss for
us td say a few words in regard to the situ
ation of the establishment, and the interest
that every removal man has in in its pros
perity. A year since, when wo assumed
tho control of this paper, wo were well a
ware of , the giicvaiiries under which a large
portion of the. county labored in conse
quence of the present unjust location of the
public buildings, and wo were determined
to exert our every faculty to remove the
evil, and so expressed ourselves at the out
set. For this wo have been denounced by
the Danville interest, and no stone has been
left unturned to effect our destruction ; but
in this, they have as yet failed, and it. now
depends upon the friends of the removal to
decide, whether tho only democratic paper
in the county which advocates their inter
est is to be sacrificed by a few intriguing,
self-managing individuals in Danville.
The friends of the removal constitute more
than three-fourths of the electors, and near
ly two-thirds of the democratic party in the
county, and yet, tho only democratic paper
that dare advocate thoir interest, is allowed
to drag out, at best, but a miserable exist
ence, while the friends of the removal sus
tain those papers, by subscriptions and ad
vertisements, which arc hostile to the inte
rest of the removal party. This is down
right injustice to their own interest, and to
that of tho sentinel who spends his time and
his money, to protect them from the insidi
ous attacks of their enemy. The " Demo
crat" always will, as it always has since it
came into our hands, advocate democratic
men and democratic measures; but at the
same time, it always has, and it always
will, be a decided advocate of the removal.
It behooves, then, at least every democratic
friend of that interest, to sustain it, not on
ly by adding his own name to the sub
scription list, but to use his influence to ex
tend its circulation among others. Wo
trust that this will soon be done, and that
wo shall have the pleasure of boasting of
having as much larger subscription list than
the other papers of tho county, as tho remo
val interest is greater than all others com
bined. " The iron steamer Do Kosset, Captain
Wamberroe, arrived at Wilmington, N. C.
on tho 17th inst., in 18 hours from Norfolk.
This is believed to be tho first iron vessel
navigated on the waters of thoUnitedStates.'
The above paragraph is from a llaltimore
paper. Tho editor is mistaken in suppos
ing that the Do Rossct is the first iion steam
boat that has over been navigated on the
waters of the United States, as many well';
remember the iron steamer " Codorus,"
built at York, by Messrs.Davis & Co. pass
ing up tho Susquehanna in" 1825, as far as
Owcgo. Wo wcro on board of her for se
veral miles above Wilkcsbarre; sho was a
light pretty boat, and puddled up stream in
fino style. What became of her afterwards
wo do not Know. At tho same time a
wooden boat called tho " Susquehanna,"
came up tho rivor as far as llorwiek, whore
she burst hor boiler,, killing one or two
men, and severely scalding soveral others.
The Legislature convenes again at IIar
risburg on Tuesday next.
It appears by tho official reports publish
ed in tho Ilaiiisburg papers, that tho tolls
collrctcd on the Pennsylvania canals and
railways, for tho four weeks ending on tho
17th of April, amounted to $14-1,GC7 17,
being an inctoaso of $35,502 93 over the
corresponding period of last year.
The Ilangor Whig says, that a small de
tachment from the civil force now on the

capturing five tresspassers and their teams.

COLUMBIA COUNTY.
Every community has its ovils arising out
of some peculiar circumstance necessarily
connected with its position, or consequent
oil the management of its internal concerns;
but few, however, are.cursed with so groat
an evil as the inhabitants of Columbia coun
ty have been compelled to endure for years
past in consequence of the location of her
coutls of justice in an extreme Southern
portion -of her county. How much longer
this evil will bo permitted to exist will in
my opinion, depend upon tlie conduct of
those immediately interested in its being
removed that it can be, there cannot be
any manner of doubt, if a united action be
had, and the right measures pursued, by the
removal townships. t
Many objections havo heretofore been
uiged against making it a question at the
polls, and the Danville interest wcro always
ready to prevent any such action, well
knowing that it is tho only way in which
the subject can be fairly brought before the
Legislature in a proper shape. If a majori
ty of tho democratic party of the county
aro in favor of a removal why send a man
to the Legislature, who will embraceevcry
opportunity that may arise to oppose your
interest, and misrepresent the views and
feelings of a majority of his constituents.
There can be no justice in it you tlnow a
weapon into the- hands of your opponents,
to cut your own throats' A weapon that
has been used with great effect by them, at
every trial that has been heretofore made to
effect a removal.
At the time the petitions for a removal
wtra uetora tlis JUBgimUu'C three years
since, the anli-removalists went so far as to
attempt to show by a published statement,
that a largo proportion of the Representa
tives from this county had been anti-removal
men, and argued from thin that the county
was' opposed to the courts being removed
from the prcscnt location, and no doubt, this
had a great influence upon the decision of
the Legislature. Then, I again repeat, why
should we put tliis weapon into their hands,
for them to wiold against us at their pleas
ure? No man in his senses will say that
wo ought. Then why do it i Tiierc is no
reason why we should. We have a major
ity of the townships' with us, and a major
ity of the democratic voters. We can of
course nominate whom wc please, and elect
them too, even if the anti-rcmovalists, of all
patties, mi i to to a man against us, which
they will undoubtedly do as they have al
ways done heretofore whenever a ticket was
composed of men, whom they thought they
could manage and mpuld to their views and
wishes. If you will refer back to the-election
returnn for years past, you will find
that every man, whom they could claim as
of their own, would bo supported almost
unanimously by them. Then why should
we unito with them to elect men who will
oppose our interest when they will not un
der any circumstances, unito with us upon
a man who will oppose thoirs. It is not
right, and 1 boldly affirm that it is not dem
ocratic to do so. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature, and " he who will not
provido for his own household is worse than
an infidel." I shall pursue tho subject here
after. ,

A Scion worthy of his Stock. Our
readers will no doubt recollect seeing in
bur compendium of foreign news brought
by the Groat Western, an account of the
murder at a school near London, of'a young
man named Hayes by a fellow student
named Mcdhurat. The case created much
oxciteincnt in the vicinity, and the more, in
consc(cncG of the fact, that the grandfath
er of the prisoner, a very wealthy man,
nau uecn tormerly (in 1801) indicted for
tho murder of his wife. It appeared in ev
idence, that he cut off his wife's head
placed it on the table, and addressed it thus:
"there now see if you can stop scolding
at me for half an hour.1' Tho jury con

But it is not alone in tho original department that
we intend to make improvements. Our resource

Our list is already large but our cxpenres Errf
by no means inconsiderable, and vthilo the former
