SERIOUS AMiiitJA'l’lO.V. Editor of the New Yotk Evening Journal are J, in the most serious manner, and re the charge again and again, that an ar um lor placing Mr. Van Buren in the ncy, has been made between Gen. Jack- Mi.

And the ,e Chronicle observes, in relation to this “We know that Gen. Jaekson had resol lecline a re-election, and that ho did not [hisresolution until after it was nseci tain llie party gave the preference to Mr. , over Mr. Van Buren. Resolved to Ir.

The charge should be mot hy calling on the editor of the Journal lame of the conspirator in the plot, who heated it to him—and on the editor of the Ic, for the me ans by which he bo equainted with what he declares ho And, indeed, those editors owe it to <lc,to give them that information, vvheth* 1 on or not. arsclves, however wo may have refits ance to this plot, so far as Gen. Jackson rned, we have never doubted that Mr. tren himself aimed at the Presidency the Vice Presidency, and that his immu arlizans wete disposed to further that I we recollect rightly, he has heennomi br the \ ice Presidency by the N. Y. and Enquirer, the paper which ordina itks ol him and his views most author!- iid is supposed to be most deeply in his ice. And, tlio’ several other indi liave been nominated, it is so unlikely tor of them, from their respective politi ( tence, will be supported by the parly, biat it would seem hy no means improbable, hat air. \an Buren’s proverbial intrigue is at lie bottom of their nominations; as, by starting ui any candidates, neither of which can hope to succeed, and keeping the public mind divi ded among them till ,h e meeting of the Baltimore ( . Jn ' c,l ’^ on i which is to nominate a candidate ;° r 116 V> Presidency, it will be very easy for 10 stc P forward, then, and carry olf the prize mm all or either of thorn, if Mr. Calhoun should 1011)0 I lUt *n nomination.

If pure, able, useful, and justly po , ! pular, as we believe Mr. Calhoun’s would bo, 11 its effect would be powerful in the next elec r tion; and so, also, if it were connptly devoted t to stiengthening itself by intrigue, deception, f and its power of patronage—as we most solemn* f ly believe Mr. Van Bui on’s would be. I As we have already observed, the question [ involved is not the V. Presidency, but the Pre ■ sidency ; and as none of the several imlivi . duals at present nominated (except Mr. Van Buren) has sufficient pretensions to that office, at the present time, or would be supported for it j by the great body of the j. eople.it is altogether idle to consider them in any oilier light, than as calcu lated to divide public interest on the subject, till Mr. Van Buren has so matured his web of intrigue, as to bo prepared for the effort to concentrate it on himself. And, if we mistake not, all the present nominees are friendly to him ; and there fore, however they may now hope for them selves, when they find those hopes unavailing, it is to bo expected that each will endeavor to transfer his share of influence to him, rather i than to either of his present competitors.—Will i the people countenance all this! Has not their! voice of reprobation already driven Mr. Van Buren from the administration, and probably to i a desperate effort to reach the Presidency by a by-road, in defiance of their will! And, since no other man than Mr. Calhoun can interpose to prevent it, and there can he no itoubt that the great body of the party and the people, prefer him to Mr. V. B. for the Presidency (after Gen. Jackson,) he must of necessity bo placed in op position to him,for the V. Presidency. And, we repeat it, nothing could tend more to restore I harmony to the party, and strength to the cause i of Gen. Jackson, than running him for the V. Ptesidcncy, on the Jackson ticket. SAG H E I)”COXCE RT. Wo understand that gicat preparations have ! been making, for sometime past, for the Sacred ; Concert , which is to take place at the Unitarian Church, this evening. Its selections me highly tasteful, appropriate, and beautiful, and from the efforts which have been made, the number of performers, and the striking musical talents en gaged, Loth vocal and instrumental, it is expect ed to bo at least equal in splendor, beauty, and elegance, to any Concert over given in this city. | W o are requested to say, that those who wish i tickets for the Concert, are desired to supply themselves during the day, as they cannot be attended to at the door. THEATRIC As« It will ho seen by reference to the advertise ment, that the distinguished Tragedian, and old favotitc of the Augusta public, Mr. Cooper, to i gother wilt* Do* Tragedian, Mr. Barton, who hits been performing for some time in the piin- | ciptil cities of the North, with considerah'c ap- ; plause, and the celebrated Comedian and Vcn- i triloqiiist, Mr, Holland, will give a Dramatic entertainment at the Masonic Hull, to morrow ; evening; which, font the performances spec ified, and the abilities of the performers, wo; • : jiidgc will be found highly interesting and im- | pressive. CHEROKEE CONTROVERSY, We recommend to the attention of the reader, ! the article of our valuable correspondent “War ren,” under the above head; which will he 1 . 1 found highly interesting. It is from the same pen as the able article under the same head, and No. 1, which appeared iu our paper some months ago, which was the most lucid and valuable es say oh the subject wo have ever seen, or we think, has ever been published; and in this, all whom wo have heard speak of it, fully agree with us. UNITED ST t TEN BANK. A Petition from the President and Directors of this institution, praying a renewal of its Charter, was, on the Olhinst. presented in the Senate, by Mr. Dallas, and referred to acommitlec offivc, appointed by ballot, consisting of Messrs. Dal las, Webster, Ewing, Ilayne, and Johnston— and in the House,by Mr. McDuffie, & referred, after a long debate, to the Committee of Ways and Means, by a vote of 100 to 90— Mr. Wilde, voting in the aflirma ive, and Messrs. Foster, Lamar, Newman, Thompson, and VVavne, in the negative, desiring, with the others who voted in the negative,that it should bo referred to a select committee, as it is known that the committee on Ways and Means, will report in its favor. Wo 1 have no doubt that this vote may be taken as pretty nearly conclusive of the division i« the House, on the renewal of the charter, and con sequently that it will bo renewed, as the peti tion has been presented, in despite of the report ed threat of the Secretary of the Treasury, that if it was presented this session, and the bill 1 should pass, he would urge the President to veto 1 A—because, a? it bus been intimated, of the ef fect of tho question on the Picsidcntial election, and the responsibility it would throw upon the President. JUDGE WAYNE. 1 A friend in Savannah writes us, “ Wayne’s friends are dissatisfied with the late Congres i sional Ticket; but they are consoled, so re* , port says, with the promise that the party will ■ run him for Governor —how true this, can't say.” ■ Wo are inclined to think there is truth in it; and • that the object of the Troup party, knowing that i Judge Wayne is somewhat popular with their . opponents, ts to run liiin, for the purpose of - breaking their ranks. The Macon Adver. I O 1 tiser—in publishing a letter of Col. Lamar, • stating that ho “ did not desire a nomination for i re-election, and for that purpose withhold the . submission of his name”—says: “Wo have since understood, that proper respect was enter . tained for Judge Wayne; that lie is yet highly - appreciated hy his political litends, who will ad -1 hero to him on proper occasions. Indeed, it is 1 more than likely, that Judge V- ayno aspires 5 higher, or that his friends intend liim to do so.” , We believe the political opponents of Judge I Wayne have heretofore saved him from the pro scription designed by his political friends; and i -J if he now designsjto testify his gratitude,by lend- J ing himself, as a willing instrument, to bo used - against them, bo it so ; but wo had rather wit , ness such a return from almost any one else— - some one whom we have loss esteemed 1- REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF. Mr. Clay has laid on the table in tho Senate, a resolution, “that the existing duties upon arti i c^es imported from foreign countries, and nut Cuming info competition with similar articles j made or produced within the United States:, ought ,! to forthwith abolished, except the duties on j Wines and Silks, and tney ought to he reduced;" j and “ that tho Committee on Finance report a bill accordingly;” This is exactly what has boon expected and report'd for some lime past. And a mostjuir and equitable system of reduction it presents, truly 1 The Tariff to be “ reduced,” und “modified,” and by Mr. Clay, too, who wc have been told, was to become the groat loader in tho cause of the South, for tbo reduction of tho Tariff! And how is this now proposed to bo done I Why, by retaining all the present duties which hear j severely upon tho interests of the South, in par* | ticular, and “ abolishing ” all those which are j general, und paid equally hy the whole country, tho A orth, East, and West, as well as the South I —thus throwing the burthens of taxation entirely upon the South, instead of principally, as at pre sent ! This is Reduction, with a vengeance ? injury upon injury, and insult upon insult! And, I does Mr. Clay and his coadjutors, who, wc doubt! not, from what has been published on the subject, i will succeed in this most iniquitous ami outrage ous project, expect that the South will lamely sub-1 mil to it 7 If they do, we can toll them that they j | are wofully mistaken, and that the whole | Southern people will rise up against it, to a man, and resist it, at all hazards, and in defiance of all consequence*. Let them beware, then, and mark the fable of the goose with the golden eggs; for assuredly the very mildest submission ; ists among us, will not submit to tlii*.—This is no burst of fugitive passion, but the language of truth and reason; and we say to them, with I th ;se v\ ho iiave been willing to bear much, but cannot bear eccrythinff, Beware ! for the love o' God, and the peace, and harmony of the coun try, do not tins thing I —do nut dtiec us to extre mities I EXt CT'STVE APPOINTMENTS. i Gov.

CIIFROKUF C’ONTUOVFUNV— VO. 2. , That individual, who is in possession of what tho Romans termed animi firniitus, will rattier justify himself, when the propriety of his actions are questioned, by the sober remonstrances of truth and reason, than by the ordinary moans of retort and tociimination. He will not ho content to suffer a male to remain in Ids own eye, mere ly because tho vision of his adversary may bo ob structed by a beam. And, as the modern improvement of the Law '\of Nations has subjected States In the same pre ; copts of morality and revelation, wldcli, in , every age, wore held to be binding upon indiei duals, it is not vow competent in Polities, to justify acts which are admitted to bo mala per se, by PRECEDENTS, however long establish ed, or respectable the paity may he, by whom i they were established. Disclaiming, then, any intention of Justifying the course pursued, and still pursuing, by the i .State of Georgia, towards tbo Cherahoe Indians, , my object, at present, is, to bold tbe mirror up to our brethren of New England, or that portion , of them, whoso sympathies have been all along . so much excited in the behalf of those “ oppress j ed Lords of the Forest,” and by a bird's eye , riem of their own history, invite those querulous . religionists to go to the tombs of their Elliots . their Cottons, their Browns, and their Mayhews . —and there to inscribe upon durable nimble, t tho fate of the several tribes of Indians who were I the objects of the pious labours, and the fervent , prayers, of those truly Apostolic Missionaries. The first permanent settlement made in New England, hy tho English, was in the year 1020, , by a company of about 120 persons. They as sociated themselves into a body politic hy a lor mal instrument, in which, having declared themselves sub jects of the Crown of England, » they solemnly engaged submission to tho laws - that should from timo to lime be made, for the ■ good of the Colony. I Tins instrument was dated at Cape Cod, No vember 11th, and signed by John Carver and 10 1 others. They chose Mr. Carver to be their Gov t ernor for one year; who, with several of the r principal men of the company, went on shore to I look for a convenient place to build and plant. - They agreed upon a place in the Palaxet coun , try, whore were several corn-fields, with fine r running brooks, near a good harbour for ships, 1 which was called by the name of tho tribe of ! Indians, in whose country it was; that is, Patux • et. They divided themselves into 19 families, 1 allotting to each a half a pole of ground in breadth, ’ and three in length, for building lots. They com ’ inenced building on the 25th Dec. being Chiist -5 mas day, and to the place they gave the name of AVin Plymouth, * This handful of Europeans was then in the ' neighbourhood of the following tribes of war-liko ’ Savages.. I Hie Ihnnpanoags, whoso and 1 Ins son Metacomet, alias Philip.LaliasMolamora,] - have been considered worthy of tho particului -notice of the historians and biographers of New England. They dwelt about Mount Hope, and were the first nation that the English entered in to fiiendship with. ! 11,0 a small, though bravo tribe, t W ‘°’ to getber with their Queen, participated in s lhe fortunes and fate of King Philip and his na- tion. , \ ll(J y e, jnots, who are represented to have been • 11 li urc e, untractahlo people. They inhabited j ’! 10 countr y about the mouth of the Connecticut river, waged the first war against the English, j. which ended in their total destruction. I -bbo Putuxcts, whose country wo see thus cn ! i tcred and possessed by this infant colony. , i The Mayans arc enrolled by Dr. Mather, and |atlor him by Mr. Neal, among tho New England : Indians; but I apprehend they should rather ho | classed \\ ith the Indians of A oea iiclgia, as New \ork was called while it was a Dutch province, ’ as this was evidently one of the Jive nations to which tho French Geographers of that age gave the general appellation of Ma.qiwts, and one of the six, to which the English Geographers gave ; 1 that of Mohocks. , | r - Mather makes thorn ciumilals, but lie aj>- j pears to me to have been too fond of the mar- I tedious, in all ids historical writings. | The Xarraganscts aro represented by all The i writers ol that age, to bavo been a formidable j people. They inhabited the country about Now I London. Iho Xcuintcaks lived where, afterwards, was | j Esiscx county. The Massachusetts ; this was the most popu lous nation, and they had tho honor to have their name perpetuated by a people, who, at this day, appear to he disposed to sympathise with, and improve Uie condition of tho savage, whatever may have been the feelings and conduct of their ancestors. Their name is thus derived. It is . said that the Sachem, when the English first set tled here, had his Wigwam on t small hill about 0 miles from where Huston now is; this hill lay in (ho shape of an Indian arrow's head, which in their language was called Mts or Mows, and a . hill was called Willaset. Henl-u tho Sachem’s Royal Scat wa* called MosiclLuset, and his sub jects tho Muswillusct Indians, which very easily 101 l into Mussaclmaet, the till with the arrow's '• head. Tho Mohcgnns, who dwelt near tho Sea coast, oust of Hudson’s Bay, and were an ex. | tention of tho Maquoil or Mohocks, to the coast. The Mo i intags, wlio inhabited that part of! tho country which afterwards composed the ! county of Barnstaple. The N'lmaslccls, who resided between the! Providence and Merrimack Rivers. Beside several tribes to the east, in the court* ! By that now composes the States of N. Hamp shire and Maine, who went under the general ap pellation of Elcchemens. These numerous tribes were each under the ! government of a Segamore, who, in general, ! was elect' d from among the seniors or elders, for they acknowledged no nobility but that I which was founded upon superior wisdom and I valor. | Each Segamore exalted his territory, which ; was in general, not more than S or 10 miles j square, into a kingdom, and gave a name to his; nation. | Their authority, though despotic within each | particular district, was, in all external relations) | subordinate to tho great Sachem, who presided; over several of these small districts, as conven- ( ienee or caprice determined. ! At tho period of which wc are now writing,! Massasoit, King of the Wampanoags, was the Sachem who presumed over the several nations, in tho immediate neighborhood of this infant co-j lony. Hu was among the first of the natives who | visited the English, and on the 21st of March, i 1621, ho entered into an “Alliance, and engage -1 meats of mutual trusts and goad offices, with the English.'’ And as an instance of which, on his’ part, he gave away all the lands, adjacent to the settlement, to the planters, their heirs and sue-1 cessors, forever. He lived until after theros!o-j I ration of Charles the 2nd, without having, in any j one single instance, violated that league. Within 15 years the English settlements had j 1 increased to such an extent, that four colonial - governments had been granted and established —Plymouth, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and I New Haven—and their population was conjm-1 ; ted at 8.000 families. 1 The first aggression made hy the Indians, - - which their historians mention, happened in the | year 10H-4. Captain Stone sailed in a small vos- j sel from Now England for Virginia; he entered ! ! the Connecticut, and sailed up that River. At I 1 night he was hoarded, surprised, and murdered, ■ with the rest of his crow, hy a party of tho Pe- j '• quot Indians. The nation disclaimed the act, I ■ alleging it to have been done hy a party of vaga- j bonds, for the sake of plunder. Those who I ■ cunmittcd the outrage, justified it, saying that! I Captain .Stone had seized two of their country men, and compelled them to pilot him up the river against their will—that n no of them un -1 dei took to watch the vessel, that they might have an opportunity of releasing their country men—that Stoue, and two of the sailors coming l 1 ashore, wore surprised and killed in the night, i while asleep; and, that the vessel took fire, ami j ! blowup, and destroyed the rest of the crew by 1 accident, Tbe Peqnots were then at war with the Dutch, in New York, and with the Narragausels, their Indian neighbours. To prevent a rupture with j tin- English, about the affair of Stone, they sent 1 messages to Mr, Wmthrop, governor of Mas sachusetts, with presents, to desire his friend* ’ ship. The Governor was not very forward to 1 treat with them, but at last, bo concluded a peace upon the following conditions : j. “That the Indians should deliver up the men that bad been guilty of Stone’s doalb, to the , English.” j “That they should yield up their right to all the lands, bordering on the Connecticut river, J whenever the English might be disposed to plan ] there.’’ i “And, that there should boa lice trade at nil ' f ti,,U!S i allowed the English, on that river.” I 1 o those articles the Peqnots agreed, and re - quested the Governor to mediate between them and the Narrag,insets, with whom Uicy wore , then disposed to becomo reconciled, t The English, pursuant to this treaty, common ■ ceil their settlements upon Connecticut river. But, before they were completed, tho Indians t committed several murders; upon which, the I English entered into an alliance with tho Narra t gansots, the old Inveterate enemies of tho Po > , 1 u,,,5, ) and with Uncus, Sachem ofllie Mohcgans, whose territories were thou almost surrounded ■hy the English—and with the aid of (hose allies they entered the country of the Peqnots ami I made a complete conquest of it. It is supposed 1 i that at least 800 wore slain. The prisoners, to i the number ol ISO, wore divided, hy transport ’ ing the males to tho Island of llcrmudus, ami , distributing the females among the different ) towns of the English. : Iho wretched Itigilivos who remained, fled 1’ into ilifterciit parts—or snlimittod themselves to i the, mercy ol their English conquerors, who di vidod them between their allies, tho Narragan sets, und (ho Mohcgnns. And the Peqnots cEAsm to exist, as u peo ple, and their country became the properly ofthe English, who dispo-cd of the lands as they thought fit. Among tho prisoners that were taken into Massachusetts, were flic wife and children of j an Indian Prince, or Segamore, 1 his matron deserves to bo remembered, no less for her modesty, and meek submission to her fate, than the severity of her fortune. Mho had, in the progress of this short, though fierce ami bloody scene,saved from torture, and from death, two young women, who had been captured by ber countrymen at U'eathcrsjkld. Her counte nance and behaviour were both indicative of great female modesty, and she asked hut two favors of her captors : “ That her body might not hr. abused— And T hat they would, permit her to nurture her i/p --fnnl children.” il wo judge of a people hy the sparse and par tial narratives that have reached us— partial they aro presumed to be, because they cenio ; from their destroyers —and if wo give full cic donce to Dr. Mather’s description of the first Eng lish settlors of Rhode Island, whom he repre sents to be then, in as much need of Missionaries as the Pequutsur Mol teg alls ever had (seen, we | aro constrained to admit, that this nation, when it was si i ichcnfrom the earth, was far, very far I from the lowest grade of savage barbarism. Tho four colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts, | Connecticut, and Now Haven, soon after the ; I'eqiiot war, formed a confederacy, by which they became \njact, and m style, tbe United Co lonies, And, as one of their historians writes, “certainly never was a country mo o obliged to a man, than New England was to Arch lie-bop j Laud, who, hy his arbitrary proceedings, drove i thousands ol families out of the Kingdom, and j lln.-rehy stocked the plantations with inhabitants iin a very few years. And as the Puritans went .... I nut to I iiginia or Maryland, and no oilier Eng ! lisb colonies were then on the continent, those thousands of families raised the computa tion of English inhabitants iu New England, to 1 2 lor 25,00(1, of which one may suppose near the j third pai t to ho able to boar arms, it not being so -practicable and profitable, for old men, women, land children, to partake in such adventures, as the young, strong and active. Ho that, at tho breaking out of the civil war in England, there ! were 7 or 8,000 men in New England able to bear arms. Anil the Indiana might easily have been extirpated by the English, had their con sciences and interest so directed them.” [ During the civil war in England, and the gov ! eminent as Oliver Cromwell, New England on joyed entire liberty, increased rapidly in popula tion and wealth, and extended its settlements in every direction, so that (buy soon became a great people. And, at this flourishing period, | they turned their attention to the important ob ject of convoi ting the Indians to Christianity. Mr, j Elliot commenced his Missionary labours, and preached his first sermon to the Indians, October, 11616. Ho prosecuted his labours for near half a 1 century, with a zeal and success only surpassed jhy the primitive apostles. He studied tho lan guage of the savages whom lie laboured to con |vcrt, and with his own pen, in tho compass of a tcry lew years, translated the English Primer, j Chotcchisms, the Practice tj Piety,Racier's Call ! to the Unconverted, and the uitii.i. itself, into that i language—a labour worthy of other notice Titan | was bestowed upon it—und other rewards than ! it met with. I To draw thorn off from their wild way of liv- I ing, Mr. Elliot, with the aid ofthe general court, I or executive council at Boston, established sov j oral Towns for the residence ofthe converted Indians. And the Laws to which these now j converts agreed, for their government, were the i effect of strung natural sense. The following are given as specimens— "lf any man he idle a week, he shall pay five shillings.” “ Every unmarried naan, who is not a hired servant, shall set up a Wigwam, and plant for j himself, and not shift up and down ui other Wig ! wains.” j “Isa woman shall suffer her hair to hang loose, or to be cut as a man’s, she shall pay live shillings.” “ Isa woman shall go with naked breasts, she shall pay five shillings.” “ All men that shall wear long hair, shall pay ■; five shillings." “ Whosoever shall bo drunk, shall pay twenty shillings.” “Ifany boconvictod of theft, they shall restore fourfold.” “ Whosoever profanes the Sabbath, shall pay i twenty shillings.” “ Whosoever commits fornication (if a mart) shall pay twenty shillings, (ifa woman) ten shil* 1 lings.” “Murder, and Adultery, Death,” — - J '' No ,Dan 10 boat I'in wife, under tlio penalty of twenty slj.llinga,” 7 H “liiure shall bo no Powawing, under tho pen, a ty of twenty flings. ”-(P o wawm gß wore - the eonjurings of their Piiests.) a “ Howling, planting of the body, and adonp d mg of tho lioad and hair, abolisliod.’' “Prayer shall be inado in each Wigwam, • morning and evening, and grace shall be said, . b- fore and after meat, at every meal.” * Mr> Klliot ‘n ivory short time taught Mono. 5 <(Uo|ion, an ingenious Indian, to road and write, - and made him school master at Natic, one of his - Christian Indian towns; and Hiaocomee, another , ingenious Indian, was soon converted under tiro I preaching ofRJr. Mayhew, and became a zeul , ° IIS nnJ popular preacher among his country men. And, indeed, the labours of those truly 1 great and good men, wore so blessed by a gra- ’ cions Prov.deuce, Unit before the breaking out -of the second Indian war, there wore, in New -1 England, 5(1 congregations of Indian Christians, t containing about r>,ooo members, who supported ~‘l Indian Pastors, employed nsar tiro same number of Indian School masters, and had 6 In > dian Justices of the Peace, to maintain good or der among them. - C la le Concluded in our next.) • <-OiUMKK€IAL. 1 * „, T Savannah, Tan. 14.
