This country has been thrown up from the bottom of the ocean by a series of up heavals, the lasLof which was the Rocky .Moun tains, dividing this great ocean into 'the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. r -. t. , Here are to be a series of States of immense er tent, and more fertile than apy other part, of ,the country. It is. the best part.of the country for, a man' to settle in. Ho can go there 'and select a farm and not be called upon to pay a cent for it for perhaps two or three generations, and when the land is eventually brought into market, he can. be' sure to have it at the minimum price of $1,25 per acre. A man who should, overbid a squatter could not safely remain in the country. Tiie American Fur company commands univer sal respect among the Indians. They are punctu al in fulfiUins all their engagements, and they nev er sell any liquor. The Indians have no fear of the United States Government. They think the Great Father at Washington is a man of huge pro portions, but they have no definite conception of power. But telLthem that if they behave ill they will get a ball, or, if they behave well, a blanket, and thev know what is meant. In the boats of the Fur Company one can travel with perfect safety. " Except in the hunting season the Indians lounge about their wigwams and keep drunk' when they can get whiskey, and ' gorge themselves with food when they can-get that. When the hunting sea son arrives, they purchase blankets and traps of the Fur company arid start oh their expedition. The squaws do all the labor, dress the skins, &c. Fhis aives rise to a stranee kind of polygamy. I An Indian wants three or four squaws to do his j work, and looks round for the strongest he can : find. He lavs a trap at the door of her father's i n a - i vj to purchase his daughter: If he does not choose to accept the offer he does not touch the trap The next night another trap is left at the dodr, and so on til! a sufficient number is offered, when they are taken in, arid the owner comes forward and claims his squaw. They leave their dead upon some lofty ridges and let the flesh waste away,.and then collect and bury their bones. An "Indian woman who has : been most shamefully abused by her husband dur- Jng jjjs life, will go everyday and lament most jTlerl v over his .dead body,-and will finally col lect his bones and cari;y them about with her, and When it becomes impossible to preserve them any longer, will bury them with the utmost care in the bottom of her wigmam. If any body has reason to be' thankful for Christianity ; it is woman; for without' it, even among our own race, her condi tion is little better than, among the Indians. From the New Vork Express. Inaugural' Address as it should have been. I, James K. Polk, a modest and. unpretending juvenile of Tennessee, quite a boy in cpmpanson with my predecessors, have been elected by the influenced suffrages of a people who llog tneir slaves at pleasure, and do not govern themselves, to be a chief magistrate, to be governed by the same people of whom I am constituted governor. I cannot hide my modesty, and blush so exces sively, that I am-obliged to use my pocket hand kerchief. . - . Tom Jefferson, who did not believe in the bible, wrote for this people a constitution, which has been the " blarney- stcne" since the revolution. He swore on the bible, in which ho did' not be lieve, that he would defend this constitution, which same religious ceremony I here, perforrn. in the presence of this assembled multitude.

Tbi diddle the boys down east, I promise incidental1 protection, a term used before, but which I neither" understand nor can explain. . . .. Each state is a sovereign power. They; do as they please, and the United States protect them in w hat ever they do. They borrow money and re pudiate, and their enemies who lend them "fndney, dare not say " pay " The Texans are in di cannot pay, at war, and do not like to fight We." the United Siates, spread the wing of the Ameri can eagle over this "land of promise," and there" is an end of obligation. Becoming part of thi country, thev can follow example and repudialo. To promise is one thing, to pay Is another thing. The transatlantic half of the Anglo Saxon family have set us an example of avarice and ambition. They grasp at every thing within their reach and, power.. The people of this country, this half.,of the same family, following their bad example!; shall spread their power over the whole western world banishing the Indians-until they be driven into the Pacific, and staying the tide of foreign' immigration setting hi upon us from the old world. An old man in this assembly recollects when' the United States were peopled with three millions of inhabitants ; now there, are twenty miMons, and your youthful orator hopes to see many millions, more scattered and divided from pole to pole, fiorn, shore to shore, requiring half of the citizens to bo soldiers to keep the rest in order. - - Ours was intended to be- a frugal, government. To pay for actual services requires but a .very small amount of money. There are some meit, however, of large minds, and large pockets, which minds and pockets could only be satisfied by be ing filled with the peoples' money, obtairiedi'nany manner. Many millions of "money have been ta ken, and someof the criminals have been , taken ; and, altogether, it has been a great take -in, for men who repudiate indebtedness repudiate.all ob ligation to punish rogues ; they who care not for reputation abroad, care not to be honest at home. The revenues' are. large, national indebtedness very small, and there is abundance for all neces sary wants of 'tho treasury ; but those who are not satisfied with moderate things must follow the' steps of their illustrious absquatulators; The prosperity of the country has been so great, under even adverse circumstances, that the war debt of 1812 has been paid off. It is earnestly desired to involve this country in a war with Mex ico, and the-other nations hostile to injustice and oppression, and thereby involve this nationun-anr other " bond of union," a national debt. The people of these states, who owe money abroad, should not take upon themselves any trou ble lo pay ; when they can do it with perfect con venience, it will be time enough. The bounda ries of the country are imaginary. All tho world is ours, and being free and independent, we will enlarge as, we feel inclined To borrow money and not pay, ... . Is styled Repudiation;: - ,. ,- To pirate land-from Mexico, v .-v it&O Is nought but Annexation. Trusting that both houses of Congress will pay due attention to the great infidel from;' England, who proposes to lecture for the benefit of this .na tion, your orator bows, and .retires to take a nap. Anecdote. A countryman reading the Bible to his wife, -where it is stated that Solomon had three hundred, wives and so'ven hundred concubines, the good woman, in a, tone of surprise, said .she was sure he did not read it .right, and insisted upon looking at the passage herself; when, having conned it over two or three times, and satisfied' herself that if was so, she looked up in his face', and, chucking him gently iriider the chin, rex? claimed, 'Eh! iohat a 'simple Solomon laoulcTst thou make! , .'.' Somewhat so. When we hear a rhan boasung of his lpyc for the dear people,' we are strongly inclined to suspect him for a love of the ' dear' people's offices. It reminds us of the Irishman who was ahout to marry a Southern' girl for her property. 4 Will you take this i w'othan to be your wedded wife V 1 Yesydur rivfliehco; and the rio gars too.'
