* A CHRISTIAN JEW.
“Travelling lately through the wes
tern part ol' Virginia, 1 was much in
terested in hearing an aged and highly
respectable clergyman give the loi-
lowing account ol'a Jew, with whom
lie had recently become acquainted.
“He was preaching to a large and
interesting audience, when his atten
tion was arrested by seeing a man en
ter the house, the lineaments of whose
countenance had every oppearance ol
a Jew. The stranger was well dress
ed—his countenance was noble, the’
its expression seemed to indicate that
his heart had lately been the habita
tion of deep sorrow. He took his
seat, and was absorbed in attention to
the sermon, while tears stole uncon
sciously down his cheek. After the
service was over, the clergyman was
too much interested in the stranger to
refrain from speaking to him. Fix
ing his eyes steadily upon him, he said,
“Sir, am I not correct in supposing
that lam addressing one of the chil
dren ofAbraham?’ > ‘ You are,” was
the reply. “But how is it that I meet
a Jew in a’Christian assembly?” The
substance of his narrative was as fol
lows:—He was a very respectable
man, of superior education, and hand
some fortune, who with his books, his
riches, and an only child, a daughter
in her seventeenth year, had found a ‘
beautiful retreat on the fertile banks
of the Ohio. He had buried the
companion of his bosom before he left
Europe, and he now knew little pleas
ure except in the society of his be
loved child. She was indeed worthy
of a parent’s love. Her person was
beautiful; but her cultivated mind,
and amiable disposition, threw around
her a charm superior to any of the tin
selled decorations of the body. No
pains had been spared in her education.
She could speak with fluency, several
different languages; and her proficien
cy in other departments of literature
was proportionate, while the ease and
gracefulness of her manners captiva
ted all who beheld her. No wonder
then, that a tender father, whose head
was now sprinkled with grey hairs,
should place his whole affections on
this only child of love; especially as
he knew of no source of happiness be
yond this world. Being himself a
strict Jew, lie educated her in the
strictest principles of his religion, and
he thought lie had presented that re
ligion with an ornament.
“It was but a little while ago that
this beloved daughter was taken ill:—
the rose faded from her cheek; her
eye lost its fire—her strength decay
ed, and, it soon became apparent,
that an incurable & fatal disease was
preying upon her constitution. The
father hung over the bed of his child
with a heart fraught with the keenest
anguish. He often attempted to con
verse with her, but could seldom
speak, except by the language of
tears. He spared no trouble or ex
pense in procuring medical assistance;
but no human skill could avert or ar
rest the arrow of death,
“He had retired into a small grove
not far from his house, where he was
pensively walking, wetting his steps
with tears, when he was sent for by
his dying daughter. He immediately
obeyed the summons, and with a
heavy heart, entered the door of her
chamber; soon alas! he feared, to he
the chamber of death. The parting
hour was at hand, when he was to
take a last farewell of his endeared
child; and his religious views gave him
but a feeble hope of meeting her
hereafter. She clasped the hand of
her parent in her own, now cold with
the approach of death, and summoning
all the energy which her expiring
strength would admit of, she thus ad
dressed him:
“My father, do you love me?”
“My child, you know that I love you
—that you are now more dear to ine
than all the world beside!” “But,
father, do you love me?” “Oh, why
mv child, will you eive me pain so ex
quisite? H ive I then never given vou
any proo r s of my love?” “But, mv
dearest father, do you love me?” The
afflicted father was unable to make
anv reply, ?nd the daughter eontin-
ued.” “ I know my dear father, you

INMAN DANCE.
The follcving account of a dance per
formed by tb Chippevvay Indians, is taken
from a work ktely published by Thomas L.
McKenney if the Indian department, en
titled, “ Sketches of a Tour to the
Lakes,” &c A copy of this work has
been sent to fie Cherokees, by the author,
as a token of his friendship. We have it
now in our possession, and will endeavor
in future to roike some other extracts.
Soon after the inspection, and while
seated in my room, I heard a yelling
and shouting among the Indians. One
of the bands had landed from the isl
and, about forty strong. Ben caine
in and told me the Indians were danc
ing. I went out to witness the cere
mony. They came up from the land
ing in double tile, or two a-breast,
with their drums in the lead, dancing,
or rather jumping in short jumps, to
the time kept by the drummers.—
The drums, as I have before stated,
are like tamborines, and have rattles
to them. Those who beat, or thump
ed the drums, sang also; but the song
was a jumble of sounds; a kind of “a-
ha; a-ha, eh, eh’—the “eh” aspirat
ed with great force; and at short in
tervals the whole would yell and
shout, and multiply the sounds by
clapping their hands on their mouths.
On reaching the ground opposite
the door of our quarters, the line was
formed by this jumping motion into a
circle, out of which those who beat
the drums kept their stations. Round
and round, they went, with a kind of
double short step, first with one foot,
and then with the other; but the mo
tion throughout was up and down.—
When they had gone twice or thrice
round the circle, the drums would
give the signal, when they would
scream and whoop, and clap their
mouths with their hands—then stand.
I could see from their breathing—for
they were all naked (except the auze-
mto,) and painted,—that their dancing
was a severe exercise. Some were
painted black, others one half red, and
the other black, and the colours were
separated by a nicely dividing line
down the spine of the back, and in
front; the colours dividing below thfc
body, and one thigh and leg being black
and the other red, they might have
been taken for the halves of tw o bo
dies of diffeyent colours. Their heads
were omaj|ented with feathers, and
♦heir hair plaited, with little bells and
other trinkets suspended from the
plaits. From the waist string of
some, hung small looking glasses, and
thetr knives, and the si ins of birds *
whilst their ankles were hound round
with pieces of fur, and from the heels
of some, would trail out a fox's tail.
Some few wore leeeins, and a few’
others moccasins. The faces of all
wore painted after nil manner of de
vices; with red, green, yellow, and
black; in lines, circles, and stars, or
points, or all these together, /l liai
nothing in this group or mediy, shoulu
be wanting to make the scene a finish
ed grotesque, a little boy, not ovei
live years old, w r as in the midst, paint
ed black, keeping time to the drum,
with an enormous head-dress of feath
ers, and who went through the wdiole
ceremony with them, which consisted
wholly in the “a-/ia-a-o-c/i,” and mut
tering kinds of interludes; of the mo
notonous, though regular thump ol' the
drum, the jumping of the group in
time to the sounds, in a circular move
ment, and at intervals the yelling and
whooping of the whole together. In
the pauses a warrior would tell his
exploits; and these w r ould be shouted
to vociferously.
This was a pipe dance, a dance of
ceremony, or rather, as it ought to be
called, a begging dance. Their ob
ject was to get presents; and it would
have been deemed most ungracious
not to have given them. VV'e put out
a mocock filled with tobacco, and
some whiskey, (the chief object of
their visit) w r ell diluted with water.
They drank each a wine-glass of this
beverage—except those who have
children with them. These were
brought along to multiply the glasses;
for the child, being entitled to his
glass in common with the rest, re
ceives it, but never tastes it. He
hands it directly to his father, who
never fails to discharge the last drop
into his mouth; and to feel grateful,
no doubt, that he has a child present,
thus to increase his bliss. Some fell
heir to as many as three glasses; and
if they had chanced to have had thirty
children, the thirty glasses would have
been all handed by these dutiful chil
dren to their whiskey-loving parents.
These presents were distributed
by one of the band, who is called JWa-
chinewa; a kind of attendant, on whom
devolves this duty. Almost every
chief has one of these, who always re
ceives presents, and distributes them
to the members of the family. There
is no appeal from his mode of making
the division.
On receiving these presents they
discharged a gun, shouted, formed in
to double file, and went off elling, and
singing and dancing to the Captain’s
quarters, to get an additional supply
All this, my dear friend; impressed
me deeply. It was a scene of inter
est, it is true, but filled with incidents
which demonstrate the superior excel
lence of civilized, and polished an
Christian society, over that of the
savage. Tell me not of the happi
ness of the Indians—of their freedom
from restraint—of their independence
—it is all fable, at least as the condi
tion of these unfortunates now stands.
I believe it was different with them
once. Such a sight presents a wide
field for moral reflections; and fur
nishes a dark foreground to the picture
I have just sketi hed, of the repose,
of the peace of the Sabbath! No
one can witness such a scene, and
look upon bodies of the finest mould,
for they are all such, and one espe
cially the most perfect I ever beheld,
and would in Italy be worth its thou
sands for a model, without feeling anx
ious for the arrival of the time (but
how slow have been its advances!)
when all these unmeaning and barba
rous customs shall give place to the
refinements of civilized life, and the
sensual object which led to this, be
changed to the nobler one of which
their faculties are so manifestly capa
ble. .
I look to a speedy interference of
our government in this work of mercy.
It is not possible for it to be longer
delayed. Public opinion, that seciet,
but operative and powerful principle,
is strong against a further delay. It
is too late to tell us that Indians can
not be civilized, aye, and christianiz
ed too. The time was when this
doubt formed the harrier to exertion;
b it that has been broken down. The
way is open. Experience has come
in with its demonstrations—And while
we give up the old Indians to die as
they live, and leave them and their
destiny to their God, we are bound
by ever consideration of moral and re
ligious obligation, to save their off
spring. I will not reason upon it.—
The proposition carries with it its
own illustration and demonstration..
Indians are men—they are within our
uirisdiction—they are snffere s—we
have the power, and they the rapaci
ty; and we are bound to relieve them.

FOR THE CHEROKEE PHOENIX.
Mr. Editor:—In your sixth num«
her has appeared a new defendant a«
gainst the position which I have main
tained, that popular principles have
been prostrated by the Council and
their Treasurer. I proceed to rein
force my position, the correctness of
which he has denied, and answer some
of his annihilating sarcasms, to the
performance of which he appears
strictly to have adhered. It is said
that w 7 hen two persons throw dirt a-
gaint each other, both cannot be clean;
and let it be observed that in the con»
elusion of his exposition, “ Marshal”
has applied to me the epithet of a
calumniator, w’hen at the same time
the course he has taken is big with Ihe
same consequence. Not having ever
witnessed a similar spirit of high re
sentment in support of a question in
collision with another, ‘the conclu
sion is irresistible, that he has not a
little strained the faculties of his
mind. In this hasty effort of establish
ing some of his questions, have or*
ginated some of his preposterous alle
gations.- In the support due my position
I hold it to be an immutable principle,
which it will test all the scrutiny of
Philosophy to overthrow, that when a
set of men imbibe certain special
principles, formally, which it is agreed
should be governing principles twelve
months afterwards, they are bound
from the time such principles are de
cided to de fit for the happiness of a
people, so far as virtue and ability ar®
hand in htmd, and accompanied by a
strict regard to consistency, from eve
ry consideration to have adhered to
them as near as the nature of the case
w r ould admit without awaiting th©
given time. The appointment of th®
different officers by the Council, (ex
cepting the Treasurer,) was conform
ing as near as could be done, to, th®.
principles in the new Constitution;
but the appointment of a treasurer,
who w r as then holding three offices
under the nation, is as much as to say,
that altbo’ w r e have proclaimed some
important principles to govern us tti-'
morrow, in preference to our oldo nes,
let us with all our industry gratify,^
ourselves in the enjoyment of our old
unfit principles to-day. If the com
parison which T have drnwm he a ror-
•rect one. then if there has been no a-
baudonmeut of principle,yet a great in*
