It seems impossible that n new cre-

It would be well indeed for the
Bench of Bishops to lake warning by
what they see and hear, and as Lord
Grey solemnly adjured them, to “set
their house in order” against the day
of trial. Yet we do not believe that
the Reverend Lords will act upon the
counsel of the Prime Minister, or
upon our far humbler and less author
itative admonitions. Bishops gen-
ertjjly have regarded the temporal
church as the creature of a sort of
uncalculating prescription,—as a
thing which it was sacrilege to touch,
and about which it \vn» presumptuous
for the laitv, and utterly needless for
the clergy themselves, to reason.
For inen in 1 such a state of mind,
therefore, it is natural to be wrapped

sense and penetration of Dr. Bloom
field seem to extend themselves to
the understandings of his brethren,
that within the Inst fortnight, Bishops
who had promised to support the se
cond reading,—even some of the moat
timid amongst them, and perhaps by
virtue of that timidity,—have recent
ly declared that they must oppose the
Bill through all its successive stages.
Is this to be deplored? Undoubtedly,
for the sak‘' of the Reverend Bench
itself; but for no other reason. For
tlu public cause we rejoice to see
the mask thrown off before the fight
commences, that so our own comman
ders may have no difficulty in ascer
taining, and no prutenee for under
valuing, the full amount of hostile
force.—[T ines, March 29 ]

In Marquineto was combined all

he sustain the character givenhim by
his tribe. Bold and intJ'epkl in war,
open and generous in time of peace;
he seldom exhibited the wild barbari

alas! too seldom gilds the page o'
savage warfare. Like the bearded
lion lie rose in awful majesty at tin
approach of danger; and when hi
deemed the soil of his forefathers
polluted by unjust aggression, his vva,
spirit rose within him, and he was a
mong the first to cry for vengeance.
Then would the feeling which has so
long characterized his race burs!
forth, and like the lightning's glow,
become the harbinger of destruction.
While the hatchet remained buried,
and the pipe of peace unbroken, Mar-
qcineto, like Logan, remained, in his

of peace; but when the War-whoop

Ah! why should it be supposed that
the finer feelings of our nature find no
refuge in the ludian’a Wigwam; that
love, pure as water from a chrystal
fount, dwells not in the breast of the
wild native «r the forest? Though
the war path and the hunting ground
seem designed by nature as the home
of the Red Man, and though he oft
mikes the trembling air ring with
the shrill and startling war-whoop

The finely formed features and the
stately altitude of Marett, orrayed in
the plain simplicity of nature; the
black piercing eye, and the jett hair
that overshadowed her high and prom
inent forehead, falling gracefully over
her shoulders, might well have been
envied by the choicest votary of fash
ion. She was the child of nature,
unadorned by the proud and gaudy
allurements of civilized refinement
'ihe wilderness rang to the melody
of her wild song, and every hill and
every dale received the impression of
her footsteps. She was reared in the
nine tribe with the youthful and
warlike Marquineto, and wax destin
ed to share his affec iona. II ever pure
aiid unalloyed love t ontroled the af
fairs of individuals, it surely held its
influence over the hearts ot Marett
and’Marquehito.—Nature had indeed
iestined them for each other.
In a somewhat secluded valley,
that in its w indings verged gradually
towards the Mississippi, stood the
cabin of the aged father of Marett.
No cncroai hn.ents had as yet been
permitted te reach its retirement;
and the deep silence that teigned a-
rouncl was only at tindlfs broken by
the footsteps of some friendly Indian,
as he paid his annual visit to the aged
patriarch, who had in his youthful
days acted his part in many, a sanguin
ary conflict. He be re counted his
honorable scays in peaceful retire
ment, receiving the friendly homage
of those who now deemed him the
aged oiacle ofhis tribe.
The sun had just risen from k
misty couch, sending his golden tri
bute over the surrounding wilderness;
and the smoke from the cabin of the
aged man had commenced rising slow
ly and majestically to the heavens
when Marquineto, after a prolonged
jerous
skirted the abode of his Marett.—
With hasty footsteps he appionched
the door, and would have raised the
rude latch and entered, but the voice
of Marett at that moment broke upon
lus ear, and In* paused.
In*a low and plaintive voice, as if
accompanying it with her morniu's oc
cupation, she Sang:—
When will Ihs warrior’s war-whoop
cease,
The wiblc-ness rejoice in peace;
When will h<* cease the spear to wield,
Returning fton\ the slaughter field;
V' hen will his so; it cease lo rid*,
On war’s revengeful, gory tide!
Ah/ never shall the warrior’s strife,
End-but wdh the warrior’s life!
God oftlie red man! oanst Ihou see#;*'
Unmoved, the red man’s destiny !
While wilderness, and battle plain,
Are cover’d with the lordly slain;
While the poison’d arrow flies,
Anti groans of led men fiUjfijeskies,
Dor* not JhTancto drop tftyrt'Ter>r
O’er the red man’s litnciels biei ?
Come, JUarquinelo, sheathe the knife,
nor join again the battle strife;
I,nt the dread heicliet drink no more
fho white man’s red and flowing gore;
Let love within thy;besom bum,
Thy Afirett bitlslhecto return;
Quit war’s sa"ginnary t"ade,
Return ye to the wigwam’s shade.
Scarce had she ceased .then the
lour burgi open and her fondest hopes
were realized.

many iifles burst through the forest,
and he fe^ojerced to the he rt- by

From the New Fork American.
“Adventures on Columbia River; in
cluding the Narrative of a Residence
of six years on the western side of
the Roeky Mountains, among various
tribes of Indians hitherto unknown^
together with a journey across the
American continent.” The Messrs.
Harpers have done well in republish
ing this volume, aud the public are
more beholden to them for it than for
a hundred novels. In the strides that
civilization is taking across our con
tinent, each picture of savage life
which presents the red forester in bis
reai lineaments is becoming more
and more Valuable, They further
wor.hy. These ingenious people,,
have houses of wood eighty feet
in lengih hy forty broad, divided by'
partitions .eighteen feet high; they'
construct canoes fifty led in lengthy
which will carry -thirty persons; and
besides the usual offensive arms of
the Indian, wear armor of elk skim
with leather helmets, so prepared a»
to be arrow prool, and frequently*
even turns ball. Again in advancing-
into the interior, tome miserable,
squalid looking, skulking tribes, who
lire bv trapping, are to he found in
the immediate vicinity of a thrivii g
race of rfien, whose habits and ap
pearance are totally the reverse.—*
The last are generally those who
hunt the buffalo on horseback, and
with farmers invigorated hy the
chase, and spirit nerven by the con
stant encounter of peril, are equally
fearless in ' character and noble in
their carriage. And both on Ihe
coast and in the interior some tribes
are entirely absolved from the re
straints of chastity, w hile others pun
ish inconiinency u'ith death; many
clans again are addicted I. stealing &
lying, while these vices are held in
such nbhocenee by others, that those,
who commit them are driven out from
their communities. Cruelty to their
enemies and fortitude under the (in
fliction of pain, seem to be the only
qualities which are common to all.
Ol this we have n horrible example
in the following extract.
