y ‘ RSH.it MORNING, Feb. 14 1822.
Tiie excitement produced in New-York by the
sppt v.tau-nt of Gen. Van Rensselaer post-master
us Albany, seems to have been kept up. Avery
numerous meeting’ assembled at Albany on the
21st, to consider the affair, and in connexion
with a string of violent resolutions passed, a me
morial to the President of the United States on
the subject was adopted. I think that the prin
ciples upheld in this memorial cannot be too
highly reprobated by the enlightened citizens of
this country. It assumes as an established max
im, that no person should enjoy the favors of the
general government, whose political opinions do
not tally exactly with those of the members of
the general administration. Such doctrines
tend to subvert the fundamental principles of
our confederation-they tend to degrade the
general government from the head of a great
empire to the mere dominant spirits of a party.
Such doctrines set aside the merits of a candi
date, and only consider the question—“ Does he
belong to our party ?”
It cannot be questioned that such doctrines
have formerly prevailed. Hut they have always
carried distraction into our national councils, and
confusion into every department of government.
They have introduced jealousies and heart-burn
ings among those who should be united as a band
I of brothers. v
The idea of holding out offices or honors of
I any kind as a reward for any kind of principles,
I like paying a premium for hypocrisy and de-
I ception. Mark out a particular path as the only
I road to honor and preferment, and it will be
I crowded with flatterers and sycophants, who
I will fawn around the administration in prosper-
I ous times in hopes of reward; but who will de-
I sert their patrons, from the same interested nio-
I tives—in the hour of perplexity and danger,—or
lv,hen better offers are made elsewhere. Men
■ of integrity, of principle, and of unbending hon-
Icr, will stand aloof. And every office under go-
Hvernment will be filled with designing knaves
Hind crooked politicians.
H In a republican country', merit ought to be the
■only test of office. An honest administration
■may always venture to employ honest servants,
■ thought their opinions may not correspond in
Hs'l abstruse points of doctrine.

We are yet without as particular an ac
count as we could wish of the re ent con
flict, between the Ossage and Cherokee In
dians, in the territory of Arkansas. The
accounts ofit which have readied this city
do not agree in all particulars. One letter
which we have heard of, states that the bat
tle was an assault made on an Osage vil
lage, when the warriors were absent, and
women, children, and non-coinbafants, the
principal population remaining; and that
of these a number were were killed and
taken prisoners- We grieve Over these
conflicts, as afflicting to humanity.

Hard riding Judges. —A Nashville pa
per asserts, that the Judges in the state ot
Tennessee, are compelled from their fre
quent circuits, to pass eleven months out of
the twelve, from their homes and famlies—
that the legislature have notwithstanding,
created another circuit for the Judges to
ride—that these magistrates, old ami grey
headed men, who are bound by law to hear
and decide aH the cases, to make out cop
ies of their judgments with the reasons at
length, which they file in the office of the
Secretary of State.
From the Boston Evening Gazette.
A friendless boy of 14 yea<sofage, na
med David Leonard, who came here recent
ly from Windsor in Connecticut, on Satur
day evening in attempting to cross on the ice
frotna what fin Boston, to Dorchester point,
fell through a hole which the current and a
recent thaw had opened, lie succeeded
in grasping a small floating cake which was
detached from the main body of the ice,
and half buried in the water, was able to
support himsell upon it. llis loud and re
peated cries of distress, in the stillness of
the evening, was heard by the garrison at
Fort Independence, although at the dis
tance of a mile and a half. The obscurity
of the night increased the hazard of at
tempting to afford assistance, which would
hare been extremely difficult even in the
day, as the ice hail opened in various pla
ces—and in no part was sufficiently firm
to pass over without danger. There was
however no hesitation in endeavoring to
icscue the persun whose situation was thus
perilous. Sergeant Joseph Meserve, and
Corporal Thomas Birmingham, of the Ist
Regiment of Artillery, left the Fort, and
directed in their course by the voice of the
boy, succeeded in reaching him—-Meserve
fell twice through the ice, and on getting
to Leonard, who was still floating upon the
small cake, the support gave way, and he
sunk instantly under water—but the intre
pidity of Birmingham saved him. Throw
ing himself on the edge of the ice, and plun
ging his arms under water he was o fortu
nate as to seize hold of his collar and drag
him out. Leonard was brought to the fort
and lodged in the hospital—he was near
two hours in the water—where lie must
have perished had it been severely cold.
anecdote of a pawnee chief-
FROM TUB HATIOXAI IXTELLIGKXCEn.
The following anecdote of a Pawnee half
Chief (a sou of Old Knife,) now on a visit
to Washington City, highly creditable to
his courage, his generosity and his humani
ty, is copied with leave, from Dr. Morse’s
Report, jost presented to Congress by the
President. The facts in this anecdote were
taken by Dr. M. (by permission) from a ve
ry intei eating Journal of Capt. Bell, of his
expedition with Major Long to the foot of
die Rocky Mountains, in 1820, and are
sanctioned by Major O’Fallori, Indian A
gent near the scene of the transaction here
related, and who commands the Indian De
legation now here.
This chief, of fine size, figure and coun
tenance, is now about 25 years old. At
the ag e of 21, his heroic deeds had acquired
for him in his nation the rank of “the bra
vest of the braves.”* The savage practice
of torturing and burning to death tiieir pris
oners existed in this nation.t An unfortu
nate female taken in war of the Padnesse
nation, was destined to this horrid death-
The fatal hour had arrived; the trembling
victim, far from her home and friends, was
fastened to the stake; the whole tribe was
assembled on the surrounding plain, to wit
ness the awful scene. Just when the fu
neral pile was to be kindled, and the whole
multitude of spectators were on the tiptoe
of expectation, this young warrior, having
unnoticed prepared two fleet horses, with
the necessary provisions, sprang from his
seat, rushed through the crowd, liberated
the victim, seized Her in his arms, placed
her on one of the horses, mounted the oth
er himself, and made the utmost speed to
ward the nation and friends of the captive
The multitude, dumb and nerveless with a
rnazement at the daring deed, made no ef
fort to rescue their victim from her delive
rer. They viewed it as the immediate act
of the Great Spirit, submitted to it without
a murmur, and quietly retired to their vil
lage. The released captive was accompa
nied by her deliverer three days through
the wilderness toward her home. He then
gave her the horse on which she rode, with
the necessary provisions for the remainder
of her journey, and they parted. Oftjhis
return to the village, such was his popular
ity, no inquiry was made into his conduct,
no censure was passed on it. And since
this transaction no human sacrifice has
been offered in this or any other of (he Paw
nee tribes. The practice is abandoned.—
Os what influence is one bold act in a good
cause !
* The braves are warriors who have distin
guished themselves in battle, and stand highest
in the estimation of the tribe.
f This custom does not exist in the surroun
ding 1 tribes.
From the New- Fork American.
The New Mint. —lt seems a good deal
singular that so flagrant a casus otnisus
should exist in our laws, as that a man tray
carry on in our city, and in the very face
of our criminal authorities, the whole-ale
manufacture of spurious coin. Such howe
ver, is the fact, James B. Walters, the man
mentioned in some of the papers as having
been arrested in coining bad money of the
several denominations current in Hayti,
was allowed by the police,to’take all his ap
paratus back to his burrow, No. 40, Beek
rnan strt. where he is knocking ofi - his sil
ver washed copper coin again by the cwt.
The police have remitted to president
Boyer a sample of the miserablestuffwhich
was found already coined in Walter’s pos
session, and impressions in wax of the lar
ger pieces; some with the head of Boyer on
the iront, and some with that of Peiion;
motto on the reverse, Republique de Hayti,
An. 12. The coin of Hayti not being recog
nized by United States laws as currency,
the magistrates could do no more; and it has
been further said that Walters is realy tur
ning out of his mint as good coin as the re
gular circulating medium of Hayti. His
profits, lie says, are a good 50per cent, and
that he is coining for an authorized agent of
president Boyer himself.
