MONEDj, THE INDIANS’ CAP v tive. Many a long year since, there lived in Philadelphia a gentleman by tho name of Ashton. An Englishman by biitb, be emigrated to this country with the pur pose of adopting it as his own. At the period when our story commences, Mr. Ashton was almost alone on the earth. With the exception of a little daughter, who was seven years old, he had survived ■ a numerous and beloved family. His wife and children, one by one, had taken their final departure for another, and a better world. He was a man of wealth, and his temperament was peculiarity ro matitic, wandering, and adventurous He travelled much, and his daughter, young as she was, usually accompanied him. Nothing, howeve» excited in him moie profound and painful interest linn the aborigines of the wilds. He had seen but little of them, alibough from his infancy he was familiar whith the strange peculi arities of their character. He regarded them as a race of beings,possessing many good and evil qualities, and defined by the Great Ruler of tho Universe, foi some noble and exalted purpose. His pos spective theory upon this subject, howe ver visionary, was recommended at least by novelty; and as a proof that it was noi utteity fdespicable, we have only io men tion that its subversion was attempted by by several learned and distinguished men of that age. VVi:h metaphysical disquis itions, however, we have nothing to do, and without further prelude, wc shall en deavor to follow up the incidents which our brief sketch proposes. The banks of the Susquehanna were the frontiers of the country Indian vil lages were scattered alone tho shore, be yond which the whites seldom attempted to pass unless in large and well armed forces. Mr. Ashton, anxious to acquaint ' himself with the manners and customs of lhe Red Men, set out, witj? a party of eight persons, exclusive of his daughter, with the design to reside for a time in their villages. He carried presents, with which he hoped to conciliate their favor; although he apprehended little or no dan ger. After a journey of five days they found themselves upon the banks of tho river already named, nearly opposite the •ne afterwaids chosen for ibe capital of Pennsylvania. They erected a tent in which to pass the night, and procure re freshmen's, before proceeding further. When the morning came, they were so much delighted • with the surrounding scenery, that they all mutually consented to delay their departure. The hills, on every side ascended in beautiful grada tions and afforded a scene exceedingly lovely and picturesque. They passed their time in fishing and huu ing; but were cautious to remain as much as possi ble in a body, lest they should be uncere moniously attacked by the lords of the forest. A little before sunset, on the third day, two Indians were observed lurking at a distance among the trees. Not until n >w, had lhe adven'urers reflected on t le imprudence of remaining thus expos ed. The great caution, which they ob. served for their own safety might vety naturally induce a suspicion that they bad come upon a hostile errand. Mr Ashton suggested the propriety of crossing the river soon as pralicable on the ensuing day; and accordingly, the necessary pre parations were made. The next morning, while they were quietly partaking their homely breakfast,they heard a loud whis* tie resembling that of a partridge. Three of the company instantly seized ihsir guns and went out with tho hope of procuring game. The whistling still continued, bm ibe report of their pieces was not heard, and as they remained a long time absent, j three others were'dispatched by Mr. Ash ton in pursuit; while he, his daughter, and another of the party remained be hind. An hour elapsed, and not a single gun was fired, nor had one of the six re turned. Tho whistling continued; but at a greater distance. This, for a time,was sufficient to account for the protracted absence, but another hour was speedily numbered with the proceeding; and then a vague presentiment came over lhe mind of Mr. Ashton, that evil was abroad. He feared that his companions had been dup ed by the wild men’s statagem; and when he mentioned his doubs tu bis only re maining friend, he at once concurred in the belief. It was not a time for indecis ion. Their personal safety was perilled. While they were devising, hurriedly, the best mo do of proceeding, a tomahawk whirled by them, and struck into a tree. - Mr. Ashton caught up his daughter in his arms, and dashed into the underwood. He continued his way through the forest, for nearly a mile, wffen he arrived unex pectedly upon the borders of the river. He paused to recover from his exhaustion. “I hear a strange noise;” said the litj tie girl. , “A strange noise?” repeated the father. “In which direction my child?” “Near yonder rock. You had better ascend lhe tree. It sounds like one in distress.” Mr. Ashton chambered into a tree, and to his dismay, be saw, at no great dis- I tance, three of his comrades stretched upon lhe ground. They were all appar ently dead, excepting one, who was still writhing in the agonies of death. Their faces wero clotted with blood, and the gory scalp had been torn from every reeking skull. It was evident that they had been decoyed by the whistling, as they supposed, of a partridge; and in this way led on to their destruction. Mr. Ashton was rapidly deceuding the tree, when tho forest rang with Indian yells; and op sprung, immediately around him, a dozen gigantic forms. One of them seized upon the daughter, and holding her aloft, boro her away to lhe river.— He leaped into a canoe, and dashing his oars into the water soon disappeared.— The father was lashed to a tree, and doomed to be burnt at the stake, after the awful sacrificial ceremonies of his wild captors. ‘Why is it,’ he asked, ‘that you seek to take my life? You have destroyed my companions, and carried off my daughter. Still you are not satisfied. You want my blood. Who can say I injured you?— Have I plundeied your villages; or mur dered your wives and children? Think not that a paleface is afraid to die: he oil ly complains of iojus’ice and cruelty— ‘Will the Great Spirit be offended? ‘You speak foolishness?’said one of tho war-chiefs. ‘We cannot be deceived. You are full of bitterness. You came among us as a spy. You built your wig wam near our villages. We know we were in danger. We believe you were plotting our destruction. We watched yon, that we might take your scalps. Wo succeeded. The paleface say that we are cunning. Ir is right that we should be so. z We' will not be shot down like dogs. The Great Spirit made the rocks th it they might Jiide us. You complain of injustice. You come to shoot pur deer, and fish in our waters: but we have taken you prisoner. You tremble because your heart is not brave* You stand before us and plead for mercy. Did the Safgenah ever show mercy to the Red Man? You say we ate cruel. Aro wo more cruel than the Yangees? Have you not driven us from cur hunting grounds ? Have you not violated our da tght- rs? Have you not matched your armies against us with out cause? Have you not come upon us at night, like cowardly thieves,and butch ered us as though we were beasts? A Red Mau never forgets an injury.’ When this speech was concluded, Mr. Ashton was left, for a time, to himself, while his captors went in search of fag gots, to carry their sentence into execu tion. During their brief absence a tall Indian woman made her appearance. ‘You are to bo burnt!’she said, ad dressing herself to Mr. Ashton. He look ed assent. ‘lt must not be;’ she continu ed. ‘There! now you are free. Go and tell youi white sisters that an Indian wo man gave their brother liberty. Flv quickly, or you will be overtaken.’ Mr. Ashton profined by her advice; and hastily took his departute. de re turned, at length, to Philadelphia, deeply grieved not only for the loss of his'datiglu lei, but of those also, who had accompa nied him. len years from this period, we find him tiavailing in the Canadas. He was winding slow ly along lhe banks of the St. Lawience, in company with a numbei of friends. A mile distant, there was a cluster of villages, inhabited by Indians and whites. Here they proposed to pass the night. Upon application, they pro cured the requisite accommodations. As the mght was pleasing, Mr. Ashton was nut anxious to retire early to rest. He wandered out alone, and seated himself in a grove of trees. He heard voices and looking around, he saw a young man seat ed beside an Indian girl. He approach ed a little nearer without being ob erved ond as the moon was shining bright!v, he had a full view of their features. It did not require much discernment to per ceive that they were indulging in the ro, •nance of love. They say you have given your heart to Mooed o—ihe daughter of Snow,’ said the girl, looking earnestly into the face of her companion. ‘An Indian woman bestows he affections only on one; but tho Snow Skins divide theirs with many. You say yon are sorry that you must leave me; but I shall soon pass from y<»ur memory. You may ween in my presence; but Monedo will dry uo your tears.’ ‘ ’ ‘will deceive you no longer,’ said the young man. ‘Monedo is to be my wife, | She conies to the village to-morrow,when we will be united according to the rites of the Christian People. Who will say I ought not to love her? She is already my sister. She was stolen awav by the Red Men from among her people; and she longs to be restored to their society. Would you bo pleased to see her pine away in these solitudes, like a withered flowei?’ ‘You talk very wisely;’ said ihe girt, with an angry look, ‘You whispmed ma ny things in my ear which I was a fool for believing. You are like the serpent, winding itself in the grass. Bear away my contempt; because you have lied like a drinker of firewater. Fly to the arms of your beloved, and bestow upon her your false and perjured heart.’ As she thus spoke,she rose up and walked haugh tily away. The next day, the village rang with the news of Monedo’s anival. Every one was praising her beamy, or hurrying on to obtain a sight of her person. Mr. Ash ton, on inquiry, was told that she was 8 captive from the white settlements, who lad lived many years among the Indians; ut was cow to be surrendered to a rich young trader, who is designed to become ter husband. She had received various names. By some she was called Mone do, or the spirit; and by others, lhe Daughter of Snow, because her complex, ion was so exceedingly delicate. The reader need scarcely be informed I that Mr. Ashton with the yearning desire of a bereaved and lonely heart, checrish. ed the hope that this was no other than his lost daughter. There was nothing Io encourage the imagination or to justify the surmise—still he could not divest him self of the belief. He hastened to the spot, where the nuptials were to be cele brated; and he was not disappointed.— Monedo sprang forward, like an angel of light, and was clasped in lhe endearing embrace of her overjoyed parent. The young trader who was, about io become her husband, also shared in lhe happi ness that this unexpected meeting occa sioned; and thus the day, that had dawn* ed so sadly, passed merrily away. Many an affluent and delicate lady among us fails, with all her attractions, to win as good u husband as the captive Monedo found in the forest. The descendants of this union are now, a rich, respected and powerful family in one of tho Atlantic ci ties. 7’ne Whig Party — Of what kind of materials is lhe self styled, Whig party composed, by a Union, firs 4 ,0 f Federalists who go foi obliterating the Sta e Consti tutions, ahd establishing in their steads one splendid National Government; Se cond, of internal who maintain that the Federal Government, (without regard to the wishes of the SialesJ has a i ight to carry on works of internal improvment, calculated to bene fit one section of the country only; at the equal expense of all parts of the Union; Third, tariff men, who impose upon the Agricultural States, a burlhensome, and unconstitutional system of taxation, for the avowed purpose of protecting Manu factures. Fourth, Null tiers, who are ready to calculate the value of the Union, because the Federalists have claimed so much power for the General Govern, ment, and thereby incroacbed upon the sovereignty of the States. These, and a host of minor aspiring factions, aided by the monied aiistocracv, which Jefferson, declared would one day sap lhe founda tion of our Republic, have all buried heir hostilities towards each other no doubt, under tiie melancholy conviction, that ei ther acting alone, were too much in the minority, to obtain the “loaves and fish es,” they embraced each other, formed u holy alliance to act in concert, and to be consistent in at least two things, namely, a desperate struggle for power, and the most uncompromising opposition to the present Administration. One thing still remained to be accomplished; this hete rogenlous mass of descordant materials must be furnished with a name that would go down with the people, and cover if possible,some of their natural deformities; the adoption of the name Whig, which had never until then, been contaminated, readily occurred to them, and like the hypocrite “who stole the livery of the Court of Heaven to serve the dovil in,” they determinad to adopt it; possibly the country might be gulled for a wh le, until their purposes were accomplished. H-iw grossly-have they mistaken the character intelligence ol their countrymen. We ate really a 1 a loss to know, whether to treat with scorn and contempt, -or laugh at lhe misrable effort; have they not been most appropriately chiistened, ihe yutncA party. That intoxicating draught, is not made up of a greater variety of materials, and cannot be more injurious to the na tural body, than would be the success of •he party to the body politic.— Columbus Sentinel. New York, July 14. NEW YORK AGAIN TRANQUIL. It is with unfeigned pleasure we an nounce to our readers (says the Gazette,) that there have been no riotous proceed, ings since our publication of Saturday morning. To such a bold extent had the mub proceeded for the three Urging, that it was evident that more energetic measures on the part of the authorities was required. With a prompt and praise worthy deteimination, the Mayor of the city issued a second Proclamation, which will be lound baiow, as well as the Mili tary Older, calling upon onr citizen sol diers, to aid the Magistrates in the dis. charge of their important and delicate duties. In aid of these sources of safe ty, o-< fellow citizens in the diffeieni wards met on Saturday afternoon, and agreed, being properly armed and officer ed, to patrole the sheets during the n gilt which service was performed with that mauly faithfulness which becomes good citizens. The judicious distribution of the mili tary, and the civil force prevented any attempt of the rioters to disturb the pub. lie peace, and at the time our paper went to press List night, the city remained qui et, but the measures of the proceeding evening weie continued, and will exist as long as there is any symptoms of a renew, al of die disgraceful scenes of last week. It will be seen, by what is called a Disclaimer, which we publish, by request of Mr. John Rankin, that the An ti-Slavery Society do not encourage the intermarriages between white and color, ed persons.—This publication having been extensively circulated in hand bills, on Saturday, may have had some effect in soothing an incensed populace; but wo have our doubts. Ticking this Disclaimer as the ground work, or a beginning of repentance on the part of the authors of our trouble, we an ticipate from the Anti-Slavery Society a total abadunment of their mad career* They must see, that in their misguided proceedings, they have brought misery upon the poor black population, many of whom have had their houses pulled down and have been deprived of their hard earnings, and reduced to the necessity of seeking a shelter among the citizens.- In nocent and opposed, as most of them are to the course pursued by their ostensible protectors, they now claim the pity and protection of that part of the community whose sentiments are adverse to those few who compose the Anti-Slavery So ciety. With none but Christain feelings, and with a deep and solemn conviction of du ty, we recommend, most emphatically, that the leaders of the Society in question, leave the city, at least for a time, that there may be no excuse for a renewal of our awful troubles. Reports having been circulated that the house in which Mr. Tappan slept, in Brooklyn, would bo torn down on Satur day night, the Civil and Military Author ities of the place (including the Maiines at the Navy Yard) were prepared to act; but no attempt was made, and the city remained quiet. AMERICAN ANTI-SLAVERY SO. CIETY. Disclaimer.—The undersigned, in behalf of the Executive Committee of the “American Anti. Slavery Society,” and of other leading friends of the cause, now absent from the city, beg the attention <?f their follow citizens to the following DISCLAIMER: 1. We disclaim, any desire to promote or eucorage intermarriages between white and colored persons. 2. We disclaim,and entirety disapprove, the language of a hand bill recently circu. lated in this city, the tendency of which is thought lo be to excite resistance to tho laws. Our principle is, that even hard laws are to be submitted to by all men, until they cau by peaceable meant ba al tered. 3 We disclaim, as we have already d >nc, any intention to dissolve the Union, or to violate the Constitution and Laws of the country; or to ask of Congiess any act traoseuding their constitutional powers; which the abolition of Slavery by Con gress, in any State, would plainly do. ARTHUR TAPPAN. JOHN RANKIN. July 12, 1834. Another Alolition Affair. — For more than a year past, lhe eastern part of Con. necticut has been kept io a state of ex citement, originating, we believe princi pally in the pertinacious continuance of Miss Crandall’s school, h has been chiefly fomented by itinerant abolitionists from the surrounding States. Recently however, a foreign incendiary has contri buted to fan the flame. Charles Stuart, a foreign emissary, ar rived at Plainfield, a town situated about three miles east of Canterbury, across the Quinoebog, on Fiiday evening last, in a small wagon Havi g gained access to the pulpit, he delivered an address on the subject of abolition, in (he usual style of exaggeration and falsehood, but the people were restive under the teachings of this propagandist. The inhabitants of Plainfield are far mers, aid a vast portion of the listeners, happening to have their can-whips with them, they literally ‘vexed the ah’ bv brandishing them in the neighbmho<>d of tho orator’s ears; Tho proximity bucaine at length so trdoblesome that the Emissa ry descended from the pulpit, and made the best of his way to his wagon. The farmers, ‘nothing loath’ to perceive this movement, rendered the most prompt assistance; so that he found himself seat ed in his vehicle much sooner than he could have wished. The moment he was put in-secui e possession of the reins, the cart whips again wnizzed through the air, and he welkin was rent, with shouts of his re cent audience. His horse, mistaking these compliments as being intended for him self instead of his master, pricked up his earsand set off at full speed. Crack went the whips, round went the wheels,— So swift they seemed to fly Suspended were old dapple’s heels Between the earth and sky. , How far be went, c r whither, or whe ther tie is not running still, is more than we wot of.— N. Y. Com. Adv. The good people of West Hartford, Connecticut, lately tore dowii the old “Meeting House,” for the laudable pur pose of building a new one upon the spot. The venerable pastor-of the church, the Rev. Dr. Perkins, is himself a most in., lei esting remnant of antiquity, hiving been settled in this very parish for sixty, two years. On the Sabbath preceding the demolition of tho building, he deliv. ered a very interesting discourse from the (ext, “if thy presence go not with us, car ry us not hence;” in the course of which he slated, ihnt he had preached 4,000 written and 3,000 extemporaneous ser mons, and admitted 500 to the commu nion of the church, and had survived all members of the Society living at the time of his settlement. Dr, P. is in his 76 h year, and is still in tho enjoy ment of good health, and of his mental faculties. He graduated at Princeton, in 1769, and was a class mate of Thomas Jefferson. Winding up.— The editor of the Liv erpool (Pa.) Mercury has thought prop er to issue the following “official” an. nouncemeni of the curtailment of his bus iness. We trust it is not occasioned by the ‘-Removal of the Depositories.” “Peculiar circumstances render it ne cessary for us [we the editor] to curtail our business. VVe have relinquished our pedagogical profession—given up tend ing bar—stopped ferrying—forgotten the art of cleaning clocks, and sundry and divers ct cetera, — and have ‘resolved, unanimously,* in committee of one, to confine ourself exclusively to editing, set ting up, and working off the ‘Mercury;’ practising law, physic, and surgery; exe cuting deeds, conveyances, dec, and cut ting profiles. VVe hope, by this arrange ment, to have an occasional leisure hour. “If you call a sheep’s tail a leg, how many legs will a sheep have?” —“Five.” “Will calling a sheep’s tail a leg make it a leg?” “No.” If then,calling a sheep’s tail a leg don’t make it a leg, will calling a Tory a Whig make him a Whig!— Cayuga Patriot.

The close occupation of our han and all the extra ones we could get in putting on the Courier's new coat, will prevent our participa tion in the topics of this week, and our absence for the next fortnight, we hope, will place the discomfiture of our political opponents in better hands. Now, we can scarcely get before the public, whet our Correspondents wish to say. With respect to the accusation against Col. Do ane, in the Sentinel, we have only to say, that the communication, which we copy from the Constitutionalist, was brought to this office too late for our last paper, and that we are sure no one in this city is as well ac<|.iainted with the facts of the case as tlfte author. We have bo! had leisure to examine the matter particularly for ourselves. If the, fact is. as alleged by “ Fiat Justitia,” the Sentinel ought to under stand us, when we say, Causa sublata. tollitur est. Ct us. From Spain and Portugal. Late amd Important. NEU' YORK, July 15. By the arrival at this port yesterday of the ship Moro Castle Capt. Flowery, we received a regu_ lar file of Havai a papers to the s'h inst. The convention of the Cortes by the Queen Regent of Spain.to be held on the 24th of July ,is confirmed, and the election of Deputies is order., ed to take place on the 20th of June. The still more important infot malion, however, is con tained in this supplement, that the two Contin ental Usurpers, Miguel and Carlos, have been COMPELLED TO CAPITULATE, AND SURRENDER THEIR ILL .COTTON AUTHORITY. Although we perceive no account th;.t Miguel had actually l< £ Portugal, yet it is evident That he will avail himself speedily of the stipulated safe conduct, as the w hole army had abandoned him, and both he and Don Carlos are said to have fallen inro the hands of lhe Spanish troops, —having been delivered up by their own men. We are requested to state, says the Southern Whig, that the Rev. Samuel P Pressly his been selected by the Domosthenian Society of Frank lin College, to deliver the annual Oration before the two Societies on Thursday after commence ment day. —————— — TO THE SENTINEL “Are there no means, then, by which Con gress can lie held to the letter of the Constitu tion? I answer, no constitutional meant but the ballot box; unless the power of amendment, in the sense I interpret it, be so considered" TROUP. Come now, Judge, hinor bright; is not the above sentiment abominable? Isn’t it “undis guised federalism?’’—Worse.' revolting, dreary, hopeless, suicidal South-destioying, Consolida tion?” Indeed, Judge, “ifit be true, that Cod first maddens those whom he intends lo destroy, the judgements of heaven must lie near" your party. JIM SHORT, Bob’s Cousin. FOR THE COURIER. Jfath. Sir, you have done this in the fear of God, very religiously; and as a certain father saith Hvl. Sir. tell me not of the father, I do fear colorable colors.— Shocks pt arc. Mr, Fditor— In the “State Rights Sentinel” of the 21st, a quotation was made by the E litor of tlta* j>ape t from the “Aurora of the 4<h of March, 1796, hijh’y abusive of Gen, Washington, which the Eultor, in the superfluity of a disposition to misrepresent, or of his iguoranc-, has attributed to W illiah Duaxk ; and, in commenting on which, he was pleased to lavish a strain of the most disgraceful abuse upon that veteran politi cian aud venerable patriot. A writer in the Constitutionalist has already suggested that Mr. Duane was not th Editor of the Aurora in 1796. J his is true, sir. Ihe Editor of the Aurora at that lime was Benjamin F. Bathe, who assumed the conduct of that paper some time after the Revolution, and continued it until ’9B, when he sold out to Mr. Duane. Mr. Bache was oppo:- ed to the administration of Gen. Washington and attached to what in those days was called the “ French Interest;” and when Gen. Wash ington, as President of the United S ates, re solved to occupy n position of neutrality tn re lation to the conteudiitg powers of Europe, and recommended such a course of policy to the country, Mr. Bache took occasion to express his disapprobation of Gen. Wash ngton in terms quite as abusive and disgraceful as those which the Editor of the Sentinel has applied to Mr. Duane. Such was the unpopularity which Mr. Bache thus brought upon himself aud bis gazette, that he sold out, and it was purchased by Mr. Duane; who soon rendered it the standard of pure democracy, and with the patiouage of such men as Madison and Jtffcrson, made it the most popular political journal in the Union. Now. the Editor of the •- State Rights Sentinel," when he wrote the article referred to above, knew- that Mr. Bache was the author of the quotation he cites and that Mr. Duane did not assume the conduct of the Aurora until ’93, or he was ignorant of these facts. If he did know them to be true, then was he guilty of the basest misrepresentation. If he did not know them to be so, then does he stand convicted of ignorance, which would disgrace a sophomort; for what man—nay, what schoolboy of reading —is not familiar with “ Porcupine’s Works," where the sentences, or the greater portion of them quoted by the Editor of the Sentinel, are repeatedly charged by Mr. Cobbett upon Mr. Bache.* Let the Editor take which horn of the dilemma he pleases. In any event, the senti ments of an Editor thus prone to misrepresent, or thus subject to err so grossly, cannot meet with much respect or be much regarded by the intelligent people of Georgia. The Editor of the Sentinel will attempt to excuse himself here after, perhaps, by declaring jhat he was mista ken in relation to the author oGhe above alluded to quotation— -at least for his own sake, this is to be hoped. Be it so. I have charity enough to believe he was. Let this teach him,then,to read moreof the history of parties and of politics in his country, before he sets himself up for a teacher in that branch, and let It learn him to blush for his ignorance, and fur having through that igno rance, abused and vilified, as he has done, an old man and a patriot; and, finally, let him re’ member this sentiment—Politieal quacks are the most despicable of all pretenders.

The Editor of lhe Chronicle, writing from Philadelphia, for his paper of Saturday last, says that the people of the North an disposed to interfere with the slave population of the South; and that, particularly, the more “ignorant mass” of them are compelling the intelligent lo pursue this course PROOF. 1. Even while the Editor was in the act of writing this charge, a mob, in Naw Yolk, was putting down the abolition gentry, bv force.
