Remarks of the lion'. D. H. LEWIS, of Alaba-
bama, on the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Lxwts of Alabama, in repto the objdtB-
tions to the appropriation of tnonev-lo carry inlb
eflect the removal of the Greek and Seminole In
dians, agreeably to treaty, said,—
Mr. Chairman. I mutt expreaa my tarprita at
the courie which haoorable gentlemen have
thought proper to pursue—not of eppetiHongo this
appropriation, for (hey profit* to mt in favor of it,
but of tmburreutment to the eontUeration of it at
this time, and nntil, in they allege, full infatua
tion eon be receivdf from tne War Denetttaaijg ss
to (he causes which have led to the hostilities^of
these two tiibes. Sir, I pretend to know nothing
of the courser of hosiiliiie# among the Seminole*;
but as tha war in the Crede country has been con
fined exclusively to the District which I have the
honor to represent, I take this occasion tossy to
gentlemen, that get whatever Imbrmaiion they
may, they wifi not be able to convict this Admin
istration of indifference to the rights or the inter-
evlt of the Creek Indians. I shall be credited by
those wlto know the political position I hove oc
cupied. and rtill occupy towards this Administra
tion, when I any, that so far from the Govern
ment having manifested a dispositions to vitiiate
their treaty obligations to these IdHians, its wli.de
course of policy has been one ofthe most consid
erate kindness ami regard 1o their righta. Sir, if
there has been any error, it has bceu in carrying
this feeling tou far—in listening too lung to limit
complaints, nnd in confiding in their pacific pin-
fessinns, until the very moment of perfidious mas
sacre and murdor n|mn our unprotected inhabi
tant!. Al the vety lime that the Government
were investigating the nlicdged frauds committed
upon these Indians hi the sale of their reservations,
in a lime when three Commissioners were Imsily
engaged in this service—the war whoop' wo* rais
ed, and a scene of bloodshed and desolation was
spread Indiscriminately over the land. And,sir,
while this wnr is now raging, gentlemen coolly
come forward and, refuse to vote the necessary
sum for the removal of these Indians west ofthe
Mississippi, until they shall be informed by doc
uments from the War Department (bat the treaty
faith nf this Government, has been inviolably
preserved. From whence comes Ibis new
born seal for Indian rights? Is it because of the
fidelity With which they (the Indians) linve kept
treaty stipulations, or is it to justify and even to
reward lt)eir Into perfidy?
Do gentlemen want to know the pdkpnse for
which (hie appropriation is uskedl Lei them

which tin* Government unncls pledged, not only
tu the Indiunt* but to the State uf Aiubama ; tu
tho profit who hurt 'purchtmd the lands in the
Crttk country, to remove the entire tribe Went of
the MiMiwdppi. In their znnl to protect tlie treaty
ngbtiiof these Indians, do they intend tu refuse to
execute this provision of n wderun treaty? This
is nut a question involving nu nppronrintion to
iiuld, asthe gentlemen from Virginia (Mr. Wise)
supposes, a nett Treaty, but whether we will ex
ecute the provisions of one already mads tmd rati
fied* tin lung as 1622. Nor is this appropriation
ubked to enable un to prosecute the' war, bn the
gentleman fmm Miisnachuneits (Mr. Adamh) has
suggested. The feuni of fivo hundred thousand
duilarn lias already ber»n wpprupfiated for lliul
purpose; and I fool confident that it is enough to
bring the war to a speedy qliMMh
The geoilrtnnnfrmn MtuirtlrhiisfitiMi (Mr. Af>-
amm) cays that this money is a-»k«d, toeuuble us
to mnkn war on those Indians, for the purjiose of
(ufciug them against their will, at the point ofthe
bayonet, west of the Mississippi. Sir. enu the
gentleman from MnssachusrtiN assign this as one
»f the purposes of a wnr, commenced by the In
dians themselves, at a time too, when the Govern
ment whs using its best exertions to secure them
iu their tights, and before any attempt at remov
al was made? The gentleman seems exceeding
ly anxious tluit thr«o ludiuns should not he re
moved HguiiiKt their will. Lei me say to that
gsntlemarl, that a portion of these Indians who
have not taken U(i arms, are at this time most
anxious to remove, aqd for the reason principally
thnt they may escape the consequrnces '»f this
war which the lower Creeks have brought down
upon tijem. I am informed, sir, that several of
tl»o friendly port ions of this tribe are now embnd
i«dMud'call upon this Government, agreeably to
thifreaty, for an agent, with means tu remove
them West of the.Mississippi. At one point it is
futiiithat three hundred ore embodied, and for the
want of this appropriation they have not the
means of subsistence. Will the exclusiie advo
cates of Indian rights *utter these parties to dis-
(icrsQrtnr ibo -want of food, and in their starving
condition to wgn&r aJmut to beg (bat bred which
this Government is bound to furnish them? Are
they not aware that as soon us they are dispersed
through the couuirv they are in danger of being
shot through mistake for hnstilas? How are the
peonleof Aluhntnn to dihtinguith between them 1
And will gentlemen, with probation* of humau-
ity on their lips, pul these friendly Indian* on a
footing but htilf better than (hut ofthe perfidious
hostilesf^ fciir, l would ank the gentleman from
MaHsachusetts, who im>i*t* that these Indians are
not to be removed against their consent, what is
to bo done, with such as are taken with arms in
their iiuuds? Will you n*k Mem. if they are will
ing to be removed? Will you observe towards
Mrm the faith of treaties, while ittfir hands ure
wreukirig with innocent blood? Or will you treul
them, at they really ure;—us a hostile tribe, who
in violation of nil treuties, huve commenced a
niusivnvngc and bloody, wur; p war of indisenm-
nte muHicic upoir helpless women and children.
Winn claim nave they on tho sympathy of gen
tlemen?
1 repeat the question—what is to he done with
such, us ure taken with arms in their hands
W hut disposition will you make ol such os in
the cliuuces of wur are overpowered by our troops?
Shull wo retaliate on them by murdering them ?
Geiitiemrh will say no. Can we give them a
parol ol honor? If we turn thorn loose one day,
would we not meet them in fight the m*xt t Afe
limy tube ugninsentubromi among the people*df
.Malinina, to desolate nnd destroy ? Is this the
policy whic h my constituents are to expect at tho
bauds of this Government ? ~ If this be the decis
ion. it i» one which dooms every Indian now in
arms, to extermination. The people of Alabama
will consult their own safety in utter destruction
of the hostile tribe. Tiny cun nut make peace
" i'h them ; they cannot, nnd will not again trust
their pledges und professions offiieiuLhip.
8ir, every motive of policy—every requisition
of justice to the people of Alubamu^—every con-
xideriiimn, eveb of humanity to the Indian^'now
in arms against ns, requites that this appropriuiiun
should bo passed, to remove them by force ; yes,
sir, even at the point of the bayonet, west olthe
.Mississippi, jt is unjust in the extreme, to con
tend thulthey ore to remain in the heart of a pop
ulation they have outraged by the most tuvugo
dertd prleonert of war. Tht bill contemp/afea

too Urge to effect ibis porposa.
dir, I desire (hat (his question eboald be met,
not in a preliminary discussion, but upoo its mer
its.,. J pledge invself ready to meet gentlemen
facSf toface, in the freest ana fullest investiga-
tioo. I Isold myself ready to vindicate my con
stituent* from every imputation as to the causes
which have produced this war. As to the legis
lation of my State over these Indians, 1 will not
condescend to offer palliation or apology. What
she has done, bus been within her acknowledged-
chartered limits, in the exertion of her high sov
ereign will; and she is not responsible in the ex
ertion of'that will, either to this House, or to this
government. U|xm any other topic connected
with this question, I will meet either the taunts
or the arguments of gentlemen ; and all 1 ask of
them, is to come up to tho tfeal question without
delay. -Sir. if we net upon this subject at all, we
should act promptly. ^
UPON THE ARKANSAS AND MICHI
GAN BILLS.
Mr, Lewis said, he should vote for the piopo-
sitiou of the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr.
Wise.) in lay the Bill for the admission of Mi
chigan into the Union, on the table, until the Bill
for the admission of Arkansas should be first
passed.
He should do this, for the obvious roason that
there werif dangers, he would not say how^grcai,
which beset Arkansas and which did not beset
Michigan. Tho question of slavery could be
moved us a condition (hr the admission of Arkan
sas, and it could not, ns a condition to the admis
sion of Michigan. I look upon the Arkansas
question ns therefore the weaker of tho two, nnd
for that reason I would give it precedence. Be
tides, upon the delicate question which may be
involved in the admission of Arkansas, tee may be
thoiceaA'er parly in this House. For that reason,
if gentlemen mean to offer no obstructions to the
admission of Arkansas, kt them givo^Ue assu
rance by helping the weaker party through with
the weaker'question. We of the South cannot,
aod will not, as I pledge myself, oiler, any objec
tions to the domestic institutions of Michigan with
regord to slavery. Can any gentleman make
the same pledge ; that novtuch proposition shall
coma from the Ninth ? -Besider^he two bills
are not ob equal footing. The Bill, for the ad
mission nf Arkansas, must be sent |o a Commit
tee of tho-Whole, on the stele of the Union. The
Bill for the admission of Michigan need not ne
cessarily go to that committee. It will therefore
pass in perfect safety, while we Ahull be left to got
Arkansas along, through tho tedious stages of
coiuinitineot, as well as wo can.
Tl»b gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Suth
erland.) soy)i these two hill* will be hostages for
the solely of each other. Not, sir, if you pust the
stronger bill'in udvancc of the weaker. Besides,
the North Want no hostages, on this subject.-—
Their institutions cannot bo attacked. Jf r t' of the
Houih leant a hostage, to protect us on a delicate
question ; aid the effect of giving precedence to
the Michigan Bill, is to deprive usofthut hostage
Mr. Wise having modiffed his motion, so B9 to
refer both bills to the Committee of the Whole at
the same time,
Mr. Lewis said, that he had understood the
Delegnle from Arkansas to soy. that as |)ie ad
mission ofArknnNus into the Union, contained no
appropriation of money, it therefore need not be
referred to the Committee of the whole, on the
state of the Union.
Iiercad|thp:5ih and Gth sections of that act, to
•how that there were appropriations to pay Judg
es and District Attorneys. Now, sir, gentlemen
will see thnt the bill for the admission of Arkan
sas into the Union, must be referrred to the Com
mittee ofthe Whole, on the state of the Union.—
It combines the principle of reflating the depos-
ites ofthe public money, and in sonledegree pro
viding tor its safe keeping, and that of depositing
(or distributing) to the several States, whatever
surplus of public money may be on band on the
1st day of January oext, beyond the sum of|ve
millions of dollars. It does not* however, pro
pose any interference with the Land bill, which
had previously passed the {Senate ,* and should
(bat bill paM, this new bill, weie it also to pass,
would not. so far as regards the depoeittoc of the
surplus ofthe public money, take effect, until the
requisitiefifcof tho Land bill, shall have been sal-
isbed.—itof. Int.
Yesieftgy, the Bills, which have passed the
Senate for the admissuui of the States of Mici-
gan and Arkansas iun/tbjgfJnion, being again the
Special Order nf the D*y in the House of Rep
resentatives, occupied the whole day. The for
mer of these bills mpa ordered to a third reading
about 4 o'clock; awfthe latter about 6 o'clock.—
After which, t^e Bills were read a third time,
and passed. ''Both Bills having passed without
amendment, hove no need of being returned to
the Bennie, and, being known to be acceptable to
the President, they may be already considered os
laws of the land. Nat. Intel.

" WASHINGTON, June. 1G.
The Bennto has to-day ordered the DejKisite
Bill to be engrossed, by a vote of 4Qto<>, and
greut rejoicing there is on account of this result.—
There was not any great speaking during the pro
gress of this bill. In particular, during the Inst
duy or two, the time ofthe Senate has been chief
ly occupied! in motions to amend, many of which
were intended to be motions todestroy. Mr. Clay
to-day adjured every man who valued his country,
who valued his own fume, the favor or the inter
ests of his constituents, not to go home until the
mass of treasure uow in the hands of the Depos-
ite Banks, should be pluced in a state of greuter se
curity. He said he could shew the treusuro
would amount to (fifty millions before the uext
meeting of Congress ; and this immense sum
would be more safe in the treasuries of the vari
ous Slates, than in Banks, for the solvency of
which, no Senator Would be willing tu endorse fur
ninety days. According to the bill, as it has pas
sed the Seriate, tho surplus will be divided among
the States, on receiving their pledge to repay it
when demanded by the General Government.—
Thus, as it came from the people, it will go into a
situation io which it may be used for the heueiithf
the people. Tho only part of the Union, which
has any excuse for complaining, is New-York.—
She may say, that ns she collects in her port some
ftlleen or sixteen millions anobully, she is enti
tled, when fifty millions arn to be divided,
ceive more than six or seven millions as her share.
But it is a bill which will advance greatly the
terestsof the agricultural States of the West, as it
will place in their hamE very great pecuniary fa
cilities for carrying on their great works of inter
nal imptovemenl. 1 do not know whether thi:
bill is likely to pass the House, There it is «
much more difficult to bring members to an under-
•landing of any tiling, except party tactics, that it
may bo well doubled if a general and accurate
comprehension of all tlie benefits to be der"
from this measure can bo impressed upon the
joritv. We shall sixin. however, know the result.
THE WAR.
Sanguine hopes are entertained, that the diffi
culty with the Indians, will be shortly ended and
peace and tranquility again restored. These hopes
ore predicated upon the present apparent disposi
tion of the savages to cease hostilities, and we
trust will soon be realized to their fullest extent.
Neah Micco, hus beyond doubt, gone to the friend
ly camp of Eche-lladjo, with some thirty or forty
of his men. But where are the balance of them ?
May (hey not have joined so.ue other Chief, and
be still in the swamps, ready and wailing to do
further mischief, wheel on opportunity offers ? It
was said and generally beiieved, that he had un
der his command, some five or six buudred war
riors. If so, die 30 or 40 that have gone in. is
but a meger portion of them, ■ add the rest should
be locked well to.
Old Neah-Emorthla has been taken, and since
his capture, 3 or 400 hundred warriors, u portion
of whom, no doubt, belonged to his comp, have
come into Fort Mitchell and declared themselves
friendly or surrendered. Are these nil he had
under his coinmuud ? Wo can hardly think ao<
when we remember that lie wos the great w'arri-
or of the tribe, the most daring and dauntless spir
it that was ever known among them. We lake it
for gtanted then, that a large portion of the bos
tiles flocked around their chosen and well tried
lender, and that many of them ore somewhere yet
secreted and unknown.
Another considerable body ofUchecs and Che
haws, uuder the former direction of Jim Henry
from his present professional insignificance,
History to be sure, furnishos warn pies of small
men, destitute of meric, rising to some conse
quence iu the world, by dint of incessant contro
versy with those above them. But in the case
before us, if our brother is fool enough to' think
that he can profit by such a course, we are not
vain enough tb imagine that any strength ofiours
con lift him from the dead level of his degradation.
Sleep he must, and sleep he will.'so far aa our a-
bility is concerned, in that humble and obscure
berth where fate, when sh6 frowned upon his
cradle, fixed and sealed his destiny. Far be it
from us, to interrupt this manifest order of provi
dence, or aid by any indirect instrumentality of
ours in elevating a thing, so lost to the decencies
and decorums of the fraternity, from the low and
filthy kennel where nature and education have
placed him. It becomes necessary however,
sometimes for a man to defend himself ev#n a
gainst the attacks of a boy. nnd if in doing so, hu
man nature looks for a time degraded, the world
will see, when the contest is over, that the swine
sinks back to his wallowing in the mire, and the
man goes on, if a little muddied, no other-wise
hurt fn the conflict.
When a press 6ets out to defend the conduct of
such men as Gov. Clay, and his redoubtable
squire, John B. Hogan, its conductors will always
find it nccessory to fling the blame of their mis
deeds on the bends of others. This is natural.—
The difficulty with the Indians has, by almost un
iversal consent, been attributed to tho negligence
of the Governor, and the wilful misrepresentations
of the squire. The one held an open ear nnd con
fiding heart to tlie other. Petition after petition
went up to his majesty; men of. high character
were sent by public meetings of the people to rep
resent the true state of things, to disabuse the
public functionary of their state, and implore such
assistance as would prevent the impending ca
lamities. There sat his excellency, drinking in
the lullaby of peace, warbled in the 6weet and dul-
and Yoliolojladjo. are still out, which added to
the two parcels above mentioned, it onpears to us, I cet notes of Hogan, until his reverie could acarce-

must have some eight hundred ora thousand yet
to be subdued. This calculation may possibly be
too large, but Horn the best information which all
the circumstances afford, it will in the main be
found tolerably correct. A party of about 300
hundred, composed mostly of Alabama troops and
friendly Indians, under the command of* Gen.
Jessup, went on Friday last, in search of the cel
ebrated Jitn Henry nmi his followers. They
caught nnd made prisoners of about thirty of his
men, but were unable to mine across the main
body, who are supposed to have gone on their
way to Florida. A large detachment of cavalry
from this Stole, under Col. Beall, we ore informed,
have beon sent in pursuit of them, who will prob
ably induce them, in the language ofthe Scotch
man “Jo gang their way back again." Gen. Patter
son, with the Alabama forces, is still between
Fort Mitchell and Tuskegee, in search of the ene
my. Nothing authentic has been heard of Gen.
Moore, since ho left lrwinton.
The main body of tho troops from this State,
rnnrched down the river on this side, a few days
since, under the immediate command of Gcu’ls.
Scott and Sanford, and have crossed over, near
Roanoke. NVe have heard nothing of interest
from them, since they crossed. By our next, we
hope to learn enough to ehable us to decide with
some certainty what will be the probable durution
of the war.

screams of the vulture, as it flopped its dull wing
over the dead. Of this cold blooded indifference,
we spoke in terms of merited reproach, and should
have done the same if Gov. Clay had been our
own brother. Is there auolher man in Alabama,
the editor ofthe Advertiser always excepted, that
blames us for this expression of an honest opin
ion? No mutter what cause might first hove a-
ronsed the savage nature and blood-thirsty spirit
ofthe Indians, the man that could have testrain-
cd their vengeance and did not, is guilty of his
country's blood, and his defenders, before Heaven
and earth, ore as guilty as their masters. Ask the
settlers iu the Creek country whose neighbors have
been murdered, whose properly has been destroy
ed, whose homgshave been madedesolutc,to whom
do they attribute the wide spread calamity (hat
has befallen them? Will a man among them point
to ihis press or its conductors, as aiding, either di
rectly or indirectly, in theii misfortunes? Not one,
we repeat it, not one. They will point, as with
the finger of one tnan, to the highest officer of
their own State, to the infamous conduct ot John
B. Hogan, and the pitiful, but, as its editor sup
poses, innoceut errors of the Advertiser.
Had Mr. Belser contented himself with defending
Gov. Cloy, he would not have provoked this gen
tle notice of his conduct. But he seems to have
gone out of his way, tu couple us with a controver
sy in which we huve neither part or 4of; accuses
us of “aiding a set of infamous robbets,"-“sheild-
ing a den of polluted theives"—and to cap ,the
climax of his nousensc, couples us with the Spec
ulators. Just hear the veritable and charitable
dunce.
QJ 5 * The people of Alabnmo.cnn now see why
it is, that /Arir Governor, has been so much abus
ed by ceitaiu prints of Columbus, Georgia, The
papers to which we allude, are principally in the
hands < f speculators, aud to cover their own vile
deeds, they have kept up an iuccrsnni t warfure u-
gainst tho Executive of this State, ho|»h)g there
by, to escape that odium that awaits them, and
which they so richly merit. For ourselves w
have uo doubt but that those “pirntefq” ure the
authors of the slanderous articles alluded to.—
There h not within our knowledge such a btoth-
el «•(*corruption as is contained'within the limit*
of our celebrated tnaier-towu. If the righteous
could be extracted from it, there is good reason
why it should he blotted out from the book of re
membrance.
lt makes us smile to think nur paper is in tlie
hands of speculators. No, friend Belser, wc are
too pool, like your&clf. to indulge in liie*e schemes
of money making. The lands of Aiubama wo e,
as they *til! arc far beyond our reach, and in this

vFroin tlie Mobile Chronicle, June 11.
We received by yesterdays mail a letter which
we publish this morning, giving some account of
tlie recent death of Osceola or Powell, the Senitr
nolc chief. Wo publish tlm letter with the sig
natures, and although we have not the pleasure
of knowing tho individuals, whose names ora
aiUfted to the communication, yet we feel fiat-
ifetiea that every reliai.ee may be placed upon
their statements, as obtained from the Indian.
Mr. Editor.—Through the medium of your pa
per, wo think U our duty to state some facts, of a
highly important nature.
Lust evening, the 8(h nf June, an Indian who
calls himself O-ha-ba-ta-ca, came into the *et-
th-ment on Little River. Hu has beeu three days
coming fritot Florida, rides a very tood poncy,
aud is on his way to the Ouachita tribe of Indi
ans near Red River. The day before he left tha
hammock, called Meta or Bear Hammock, Pow
ell and a young chief, Uo-pa-to-pha, had a |»er-
fj'iml fight. Powell received a wound iu the left
feiJc, near tlie heart, with a hatchet, which iti-
stuntly caused his death. The Iricnds o| the de
ceased, were determined tu kill the youug chief,
but he Micrctdtd in making his escape. Wa
quraltoucd him foqtecriitg tlie dtspot-ilinn of th#
-Indians. He feinted that they would ever be un-
