TIM INDIANS OP THI WICST..4k move.
ment is now being made, on the part of
some educated Indians, to change the loon.
don that the Government hos given the
Western tribes, and to substitute some
place which shall be more effectual in civ
liming them. A few days since in the
South Carolina Legislature, the Roy. Mr.
Cowpay. (or Ke-geta-gah-bowh,) an In
! dian Chief of the Chippewa tribe. adAress
ed the members of both Housesi l if die
l
subject of Indian civilization, intl e hest
means of promoting it. His ulterior ob
ject was to elicit some action on the part
of the Legislature, recommendiog to Con.
grossthe removal of all the scattered In
dian tribes to some spot west of the Mis
sissippi River, where they might. collected
in one body. enjoy the blessings of o per
manent home, till the soil, found institu
tions of education, and introduce the vari
ous arts of civilized and Christian life.
Mr. Cowpay says, that the country
which the Indians now hold, they cannot
hold forever, or much longer. ['he res.
limns he gives, are that emigrants must ne.
cessarily pass through it—railroads must
pass through their country, canals and
Imilitary roads be opened, and it wilt be
impossible to carry out these internal im
provements without disturbing the Indians
and preventing their peaceable enjoyment
of their lands. 'l'his will be a constant
and fruitful cause of discontent and dissat
isfaction. In the second place, be re.
marks, that the vest quantity of land as.
signed to them by the Government, a
mounting in all to 15,000,000 acres, is de
cidedly injurious to his cou n trymen. It
encourages roving habits among themselves,
and holds out a perpetual temptation to the
emigrant. The lands are fertile, anal tho
Indians are easily duped by artful *pecu
lators into selling theta at a price vustiv
.
under their value.
2583
1344
1854

Thirdly, in their present situation, they
have not the means of educating their child
ren and of admiring in intelligence. They
live only from day to day, and provide
very little for the. future. When they see
the wicked white man standing by his
barrel of cider, they long to partake of the
intoxicating draught. They engage in
drunken revels during the night, and the
missionaries, consequently, however de
sirous to promote their temporal and spit ,
fare, do them little or no good.—
:an place them in some situation
ley would have opportunities for
nefleetual and religious instruction.
he sphere of the temptations and
roue influences by which they are
rounded, you might then hope for
..ananent improvement and progres
we elevation in the scale of nations.
There have been 90,000 removals since
the policy of removing the Indians com
menced ; and there are 21.000 more still
waiting their removal westward. according
to their agreement with the Government.
SLAVE Cssa.—The alleged slave, Jo
seph Belt, who was kidnapped at New
York last week, was declared by Judge
Ethuons on Thursday, to Le entided to
his release, acid he was immediately hur
ried off by his friends to a place of secu
rity. It was proved that lie was born on
the estate of NI r. Lee, in Frederick county,
Md., was about 21, and that his mother
and grand mother areslaves now living.—
The argumeut of the claimant was to the
effect that colored persons being presented
to be slaves in Slave States, and free in
free States, the prisoner was to be restored
to the person whose property lie was, as
lie had been proved on evidenve to be a
slave and born of a bondwoman. The
Judge said that the laws of New York ad.
mined no right to hold property in slaves,
and being in a free State, he waa entitled
to his release.
COL DRAYTON JON es, a respectable citi
izen of Wayne, Ohio, lately came to a
dreadful death. While engaged with a
number of men threshing at his barn, he
fell, through the scaffolding in the loft to
the Hoar, where he was thrown across the
end of the cylinder of the threshing ma
chine, which was in m4tion. His hip
and thigh were mangled in a most horrible
manner. He lingered five days in the
most excruciating agony, w hen he ezpi
red, mortification having commenced the
evening before.
THR DAMAGED PORE.—The snow hill
(Md.,) Shield says, that the recent warm
weather has oecasioned the loss of more
than two-thirds of the pork in Worcester
county, which was butchered and packed
away during its continuance. In the up
per and lower parts of the county, the in
jury and the damage done, is distressing.
Nearly every house-keeper has suffered
more or less from it.
FATAL Acctomr.—We learn that a boy
by the name of Minnybecker. about 9 year.
old, was suddenly killed on Saturday last,
a few miles from this place. It appears
that the father of the young man was en
gaged in cutting down a tree, and in falling
it came in contact with another tree, from
which a limb fell and struck hint upon the
head, knocking out his brains.—Hagers
town herald.
Mosiracntorm Lanics.—The editor of
the Home Journal asserui iti that paper,
that it has lately become all the rage in
Germany fur ladies to cultivate upon their
upper lips each a downy, delicate mus
tache ! The fashion is said to be advan
cing -and no, we suppose, must be the
price of bear's grease.—North hmerican.
INVALID litruans.--Informality and de
lay in the matter of•election returns, have
this °year destroyed the effect of more
votes than many people are aware
of. In nearly every State, some town
ships. districts, or even counties are thus
omitted. In lowa, five hundred Whig
votes were thus lost,- and in Texas, about
twenty counties were thrown out on ac
count of delay.
The Damon Daily Advertiser has ful
reports of the progress of the Cholera inl
Russia, up to November 21st. It was
palpably decreasing. We learn that Dr.
Haadyside. the first English physician in
St. Petersburg, has treated 1200 cases, in
one large establishment, and lost only air
.teen patients. This shows a very small
proportkon of mortality in comparison
with the former inroads of the disease.—
In almost all cases prompt usistance and
care sureeeded in effecting a cure.

American Art Union
The annual distribution of the prizes of the
American Art Union took place at New York on
the 22J of December, in the presence, it Is said, of
3,00,./ persons. The number of subscriptions for
the year 1848 wee 16.475—an increase o f 6,,51.9
over last year. The number of prize paintings
distribumll. was 454, beside* 450 bronze medals
of Gilbert Stuart and Washington Alston, and 25
port folios, each containing s set of the engravingsl
of the institution up to 18-111. From the list o.
successful competitors fm prises, before us, we find
this county receives the following
No. 346—" View in the Cumberland Moun
tains," by F. W. Whitley—drawn by A. N. Jt L
Daugher, Gettysburg, Pa.
No. 410—Two Paintings, " A Mountain
Home," and " Unsettled Weather," by T. A.
Richards—drawn by Jacob Gardner, Petersburg,
(Y. ti.) Pa.
No. 61—Stuart Medal—drawn by Wm. hr.
Sherry, Esq., Littlestown, Pa.
Both Whitley and Richards, we beliece, are
artists of reputation. 01 the latter's pictures the
N. Y. Courier reutarks—••They do great credit
the pencil of the +artist, who is fast winning his
way to distinction." Tne N. Y. Post ilis
productions are highly esteem .d.•'
Of the Medals, t e Horne Jaunts speaks thus
—' Next to the engraviugs come the oodi.--of

NVashington Alston, and 250 of Glltrva, Stun' .
They err beautiful specimens of the art and pleas

they commemorate. have our heart set upon
one or other of certain pictures; but if we c m
not have it, we shall be very grateful fur one of
these medals,"
The receipts into the Treasury of the Association
during the year, amounted to $.45,131 '23—the
expense, illClllifitl4 root of 179 prizes, engraving,
and printing 20,000 copies of the annual repo t,
was $85,979 a balance in the Treas
ury 01 $54 7:3. We perceive by he Report th 3
the American Art Union has surpassed that of
London during the past year, beside* sustaining
the Free Gallery, one of the most attractive orna
ments of our metropolis. The Committee, after a
long discussion for the engraving of 1849, have
selected " Youth," by Cole, the engraving of
which has been entru led to Mr. Smiley. The
"Voyage of Life ' is distributed with the express
reservation that the pictures composing the series
may be engraved for the use of the So..iety. The

Dear Sir—The members eleetof the Senate end
House of Representatives of the Commonwealth
of Palmyleant*, assembled in the Capitol today,
agreeably to the provisions of the Constitution—
there Wing • full ettendanee in both Houses
The Senate met et 3 o'clock, P. M., and organ
hied by electing Hon. G to•o of Alle
gheny, (the Whig caucus candidate.) Speaker, by
• vote of 19 to 9 over W ■ F. ttse ALL (Loco.)
The old Clerks will be retained. Mr. Gutelint,
of Union county, will be the Whig candidate for
Sergeant-m.)oms. Mr. M'Cullough, of Wash.

Doorkeeper ; Mr. Gloodshall, of Montgomery, As

the Senate.
The House convened this morning, but alter

ed—Mr, Ev•as, of Cheater, being the Whig ran
i dilate, and Gen. Pa Casa , of Lycoming, the
Lo
color.° candidado. Several ballots, precisely 'Mi
ler, were also had in the afternoon. When the
Howe will effect an or, inization, it is imptaaibls
to tell It I. said that the Loco-foco members,
with the "rule or ruin" spirit which has charac
terised the revolutionary movements of their
litical brethren in Rhode Island, Tennessee, end
Ohio, have deterniined to defeat an organization
of the House by reftising all proffers of compro
mise, and thus to prevent an election of U. S.
Senator and State Treasurer, unless the Whigs
agree to give them all the House officers. The
follooing resolution sclopted at their caucus meet•
ing looks as if there was •ome truth in the story :
..Ilmared, That the Democratic members elect
of the House of Representatives, in ron'ention
assembled. do hereby plelge themselves to con
tinue to vote for Win. F. Packer, the nominee of
this Convention, until an organisation of the House
is effected by his election."

DIA • SIR —The House is •till disorganized,
and with poor prospects before it. Eight ballot
ing!, were had to-day for Speaker, without any
change from yesterday—the rote standing. Et ens
(Whig) 46 ; Packer (Loco) 49; Scattering 5.
Both parties manifest a J64.4,44+11 to bold cut,
but I am inclined to think that the Whis will
yield the organization. in ord. r to secure the U.
S. Senator and State Treasurer.
The Senate is slowoy preparing for business
hut will do nothing definite until after the org, on
station of the House.
The U. S. senatorsh . p engrosses the most at
tention here. Mr. Cooer it is unquestionably
the choice of the e e..ru of the State, and will he
elected, unless his friends are outwitted by the inn
nceuvering of his opponents—who are herr very
bury, and profess to believe that either Mr. Slo

CONG RESS.—Nothing of Interest has trans.

The Cholera at the Routh.
The Cholera, which made its appearance at
New Orleans. on the eve of the festive *capon, has
been raging with fearful violence in that c ty. and
oil board the steamers on the Mississippi. The
New Orleans daily papers give long lists of cases
of the Cholera. • large proportion of which proved
fatal. A good deal of alarm pervaded all classes,
and it was said that et least 20.0 persons had
loft the city up to the 28th ult. Business was Of
course much depressed, and the city presented •
gloomy aspect.
On board of a number of the steamboats plying
between New Orleans and tilt Louis, Pittsburg,
&c., there had also been , a fearful mortality—so
much so, that some of the boa a have not enough
hands left to work the machinery, and are com
pelled to lie hy. A dispatch front Cincinnati says
that business was much affected in that city alio
—Captains of steamboats finding It impossible to
engage crews for New Orleans on account of the
Cholera.
At New York, the disease was still confined to
the Quarantine Hospital—but Cow cues being re

A despatch from Now Orleans, under date of
December 28,1848, says.' Within two days past
there have been two hundred and one death. in
our city, of which one hundred and fortpuven

The New Year.
Another year (says the National Intriliaencer)
has been added to the records of time, Dimwit be
fore we are ready to greet its advent, and certainly
before we are ready to write the history of that
which it now numbered with the years before the
Flood. •
Yet seldom, it ever, has any year rinse the era
of Christianity been so crowded with political
events, or more marked by discoveries and ad
vancement in all the arts of life.
In the 01.1 Work!, a single spark, fallen into a
mass of combustible population, ha kindled a
game that has extended far and wide, threatening
indiscriminately all structures of government—
those venerable fur age as well as those of modern
date—the bad, the indifferent and the compare
tivelysood ; overturning some empires and shak
ing others to tilde .. foundations; and leaving it
still doubtful whether in the country in which it
originated, the spirit of Liberty, or the principle of
self-government, will in the end have gained or
lost by the experiment. On this point, whilst ev
ery thing is to be hoped. expectation yet Inks for
word with intense anxiety to the news moments-,
rily expected from abroad.
Whilst, however, the countries of Europe are
thus convulsed by the conflict of civil wars, we in
this favored land may look back to the past year
with heartfelt thankfulness, and forward to the
future with confidence and with hope.
Within that period, we have happily escaped,
not only without ilia. redit, but even with honor,
considering the terms of the peace and their con
trast with the cry, for more blood and wider con
quests with which, on this day a year ago, a
cmcerted effort was made to drug and madden
the senses of this People. Hail this attempt suc

First—The purchaser may be in pos

contract entered into between them, with
out any misrepresentation being made to
the seder by the purchaser, is a valid con
tract and binding in every respect. Thus,
if the seller asks no questions the buyer
is not bound to impart to him his superior
informatiim--and the contrast thus made
between them is agood one. Second—ll
the purchaser be in po ion of news,
and is questioned with reference thereto
by the seller, he is not privileged to dery
his possession thereof or misrepresent the
same, and, to do sn with a view to draw
the other into contract adverse to his in

Election of Louis Bonaparte to the Presi

Abdication of the Emperor of Austria
—Riots in Prussia—lnland quiet.
New YORE. Dec. 31, 1840.
The Cunard steamer Europa arrived
this afternoon from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 18th ult. The moat impor
tant intelligence by this arrival is the re
sult of the recent Presidential election in
Prance.
Louis Napoleon hai been elected Presi
dent of France. The country is repre
sented as tranquil.
A great change has come over the peo
ple of Prussia as well as the Court. 'rite
King has granted a Constitution of the
most liberal character.
FRANCE.—The latest intelligence from
Paris is up to 10 o'clock. P. M., on Thurs
day the 13th, at which time tranquility
prevailed, The latest election returns
show in favor of Prince Lo uis Bonaparte,
which, with those before given, leave no
doubt of his election.
Prince Louis 13..maparte's proclamation
of President was to be issued about the
20th.
From the incomplete returns received,
the vote Ficue. in Mr folbwing proportions:
Louis Napoleon 66 per cent, Ca%aignac
20 per cent, filliliff 6 per cent, Rasped 4
, per rent. Lumartine 3 per cent. Com
•iiiksioners will have examined the vote
by the 17th, and on the 10th the Assem
bly il! proclaim the Prince President.
The very latest intelligence from Paris
r. confirms Louis Bonaparte's popularity,
and the overthrow of Cavaignac. The
.clection was more decisive than was an
tieipated. In Paris the Prince's majority
over all competitors is 20,000 and Bur
dens gives him 70,000 votes.
IRELAND,—AII is tranquil. Lord Clar
endon was formerly received on his return
to the Vice Regal Lodge. The usual ad
dress of confidence was voted to him, coup
led with rcromniendations for a removal
of grievances under which the couctry la

of the Government to Catholics

terminated by the flight of the Pope, the
head of the Roman Catholic Church. One
of the innst popular Princes that es ^r us

The Pope, in fleeing iron: Rome, took

A FLorrixo CHURCH—that of the Re
deemer—is attracting a good deal of atten
tion at Philadelphia. It was brought to
that city on Friday. The Ledger says :
"Its progress lifting the City front was
hailed by the ringing of the steamboat hells.
The exterior is painted to represent brown
stone, and the style throughout is Gothic.
'Pile boats supporting the structure are 99
tons burthen, the deck is 9J feet long, the
building is 86 feet long by 34, and has
a passage all around it. The interior is
68 feet long, having a vestry room at the
rear 6 feet by 24. The tower and spire
are at the west end and are a beautiful fea
ture of the structure ; from the deck to
the ball on the spire is 80 feet, and above
this is a flag staff le feet high. The tow
er contains a stairway leading to the bel
fry and organ loft. The latter now con
tains a small parlor organ, but is to be for
with a larger instrument now buil.
ding by Mr. Pitcher, of New York. The
interior of the church is beautifully finish
ed, being painted in fresco, to resemitle
stone, with a grained Gothic ceiling, sup
ported by cornice and pillars of the same
style. The windows are of stained glass,
which greatly heighten the effect. An
aisle runs up the centre ; the pews will
seat 559 persons, and are all to he free.—
The chancel-rails arid pews are painted in
imitation of black walnut. A stained glass
wintlOw is at the east end, and immediate
ly below are tablets containing the Lord's
prayer, ten continandinents and creed. OA
either side of the chancel is a door coin-
municating with the vestry room. 'rile
pulpit is on the left hand side, and on that
right is the lectern or reading desk ; the
Punt is in the centre iininediately in front
of the coniiiiiinion table, lin either side of
which are the bishop sad the plie-t . •
