Many and painful were the struggles that agitated her maternal bosom at the thoughts of leaving her child—perchance to nev - er see it again! But leave it she must—she could not with consistency take it with her. '-Vs she finished packing, the clock on the tnnn tlp-piece struck six, and the twilight of evening beg.m in close around iier.

Imposed on'-eAt ,5 f men, to dissolve the lands of Landl»id and boarder, a decent respect for the opinious of mankind requires that they should declare tae causes which have impelled them to tlm separation. We hold these truths to be self evident thkt all juen arc created with mouths and bellies; and that they are endowed by their Creator with cer tain unalienable right*, among which, is that no man shall be compelled to starve out of mere ‘‘•unpiaisaucp to a l andlord ; am) that every man lias aright to fill his* belly and wet his whistle with the best that’s going.

IL* has r •fused to keep any thing to drink but ■ bv whiskey-.'' l/e lias refused to set upon his table for dinner, any thing hut turnip soup with a little bull beef and sour erout, which are not wholesome and necessary for the public good. He lias refused to let his only servant blink eyed Joe put more than six grains of coffee to one gallon of water. He has turned loose a multitude of fleas and swarms of bed bugs, to assail us in the peaceful hours of the night and eat our .substance. He has kept up in our beds and bedsteads standing armies ol these merciless savages with their scalping knives and tomahawks, whose rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction. lie has excited domestic insurrection amongst us. by getting drunk before breakfast and making his wife and servant so before dinner whereby there is often the devil to pay. Ue has cut off -our trade with foreign ports and brought in his ball faced whiskey, when w e sent him to buy to better liquor abroad, and with a perfidy scarcely paralleled iu the most barbarous ages, he lias been known to drink our foreign spirits aud till ourbottles v uh the most dire po tions. lie-has imposed taxes upon ns, to an enormous amount, against our consent, and w ithout any rule bat his own arbitrary will and pleasure. A landlord whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant and a mis u\ is unfit to keep a boarding house for Cherokee 'lndians. Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to Mrs. S .or Miss Hally. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, we have cohjured them to alter a state of things which would inevitablo interrupt our connection and correspondence. They, too, h ive been deaf to tlie voice of justice. We are, therefore, constrained to hold all these parties alike inimical to our w ell being aud regardless ofour comfort. We. therefore, make this solemn declaration of our final separation froui our former landlord, and cast our defiance at his teeth. An Aff'i a’/ ii g Scene.— An affecting spectacle, of insanity followed by a melancholy result, was witnessed a few days ago, at the lunatic hospital in Saunter. A lady and gentleman went to visit tlie establishment, accompanied by their child, ii little, girl five pr six years old. As they passed one of the cells, the wretched inmate, an interes ting young woman of twenty five, who hud irre eoverably lost her reason, through tlie desertion ol a seducer and the death of her illegitimate off spring, made a spring at tlie little girl, who had approached w ithin her reach. Jn tiie height of the delirium the poor creatu.ie fancied the stran ger's child her own long lost darling: devouring it with kisses, siie bore it in triumph to the far ther end of her cell. Entreaties and menaces hiving proved equally ineffectual to induce her, to restore the child to its terrified mother, the di rector of the establishment was sent for, and at li'h suggestion the maniac was allowed to retain peaceable possession of her prize under the im pression that'exhausted with her own frantic vi olence, she would fall asleep when the child might be liberated from her grasp without difficulty or the employment of harsh means. This calcu lation was not erroneous; in a few minutes the poor sufferers, eyes closed in slumber raid ciu* of tiie keeper's, watching the opportunity, sintclmd the child from her arms mid restored' it to Its mother. The sliliek of delight utLirc.l by the latter, op 'recovering her treasure, awakened the V'aor maniac,who perceiving the child gone,, ac tually howled with despair, and in a paroxysm of ungovernable plrrenzy, fell to the ground— -to rise no more. Death had released her from her suff ering — ‘-CalignauT* Messenger. Col." Forbes has recently related to us an inter esting anecdote of the celebrated Crockett. At ih“ commencement of the war the latter arrived at Nacogdoches accompanied by several volunteers. .Soon after their arrival they proceeded to the office of Col. Forbes, (who was then first judge of that municipality, to take the oath of allegiance. The Colonel immediately w rote out the following form : “ 1 do solemnly swear that 1 will bear true allegiance to tin* provisional lievormncut of Texas, or any future Government that may be hereafter declared, and that I will serve her honestly and faithfully against nil her enemies and oppressors whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders ofthe Governor of Texas, the orders and decrees of the present or future authorities, and the orders of the officers appointed over me according to the rules aud articles for the Government of Texas, so help me God.” 1 "pan off ring it to Crockett, he refused to sign it, saying that lie was willing to take an eath to support any future republican Government, hut • ould not subevibe his name to this form the future government might be despotic, the Colonel therefore inserted the word republican between the words future ami government, and Crockett readily signed the instrument. The origual has lately been deposited in the office ofthe Secretary of War. in which the word -icpublican appears interlined and beneath it is the autograph of David Crockett. "T< .ras Tele graph. I'radh and Abolition. —A curious stow is related, ol nu \ dolirionist in tlie West.—Scion' after put ting up :.t i tavern kept by a wag, lie commenced preaching his Abolition doctrines. He endeavored to make black Hill, the hostler, believe that lie was “equal to a white man. It does not appear That Bill fully understood how that could be : hot his master getting wind ofit, caused the negro to dress himself up like a gentleman, and at night to occupy otre of the best beds in one of the best rooms of the house.—When the Aboitionist expressd a desire to retire to rest, the landlord eon ducted him in to Bill’s apartment, and told him that the bed wliieh the negro occupied was the one in which he would have to sleep for the night, lie tlrew hack Mith aghast at the sight of the curly headed negro, and gave vent to’his indignation'! Tl all would not do, however; the landlord gave him to understand that it was the onlv bed in house, and that, as it was a favorite theory with him that negroes were as good as white people lie could have no objection to his bed-fellow. He was compelled to bundle with the negro ; hut, it is said, not before charging Bill at his peril, to Vemove bis black carcass to the other side as far ns possible !

From the correspondence of the Aug. Sin find. Washington. May y&, 1638. 1 give you below' the remarks of Mr. Dawson, delivered at the time the -message of the Presi dent, accompanied by the communication ot the Secretary of War, to the i herokee Delegation, was received in the House of Representatives.— The question was on referring them to the Com mittee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Evkkett, of Vermont, moved to give the Committee power to send for | ersuns and papers. Mr. DAWSON said that it was always with ex treme regret that he ojicncd Ills mouth in that House ou our relation ; with the Cherokee people. Whenever he had done so, he had always stated to the House the true condition ofthe facts.— From the communication whit ii had been receiv ed, and of which he had now, for the fir t time, been apprised, the government seemed I'rsposcd to enter i>.i a train of action which could not but be injurious to the Cherokees, while it would, in the deepest degree, •’» wrong to ourselves, to do any act calculated to affect them, by bringing the tribe into a conflict with the authorities of tlie several State; interested under th treaty. Ii" there was a pa*ty in the United St ps which ex pected to make any tiling out of his movement lie warned them That they won! 1 l>“ mistaken.— If the men of both parties in the State of Georgia were so degraded and so corrupt that they couhl not tell the truth on the subject, and were not to be believed iu any statement they made in regard to it, they had reached a poor mass indeed, an 1 were unworthy, any longer to be considered as members of the National Confederacy. Tlie fin ger of scorn had been pointed at the State, and a strenuous effort had been made to bring all the moral force of the community to bear airainst her, and all without any ju*t reason; and which effort 1 scorn as a Georgian, aud shall treat it as it de serves. The gentleman from Vermont, (Mr. Everett,) had asked to have the Italian Committee clothed with pow ers to send for persons aud papers. What would be the inevitable consequence ? Could anv gentleman be ignorant of it l Did any gentle man doubt if ? The certain consequence would be that John Ross would be brought forward to dictate a course to this government, and would be employed to operate in such a manner as to in flame the political state of the country. Tomorrow (said Mr. D.) is the 23d of the month. That is the day limited iu the treaty, o>: which the rights of Georgia, under tly.t treatv will vest in her citizens as there Wovi led. Tfie grantees who hold their ‘•'•"’..ts under the grants Os Georgia, will. tW day, Lute possession of their lan< c. On this gentlemen may count with Certainty. To talk of giving the C-herokccs two J years io emigrate, when the title to tlieir lands is actually vested in the citizens of Georgia, and tlie grants have been actually issued under the broad seal of the State! If" the Government, by means like these, seeks to avoid the difficulty of its own eroadon, it will attempt an imprueticabjlity. The gentlemen who opposed this treaty, aajl would vi sit the sin of making it upon Ga- are gifilty of the grossest injustice, for that is a matter with which Georgia had nothing to do. The treaty was be gun, carried on and consummated by the General Government, and tha General Government alone. For what would the gentlemen have the power of sending for persons and papers ! (Mr. Everett said, “what do you send the message to the committee for, if you will not give them power to act upon it?”) I oppose the reference. The committee want to bring John itoss before them, and we are to per mit the interference of John Ross, who has been here for months, deserting his own people and leaving the nation without a head, while he is con ducting intrigues at the seat of Government, and it seems influencing the Administration ofthe Go vernment in relation to the treaty which Georgia had been told should be executed ut all hazards. Ves, sir, In- has left the Cherokees under the pro tection of the laws of Georgia, Alabama, Tenes see and North Carolina, and they have been pro tected by those laws, and will continue to be pro tected by them, but are we to suffer John Ross to arrest the whole course of the pot ley of tins Go vernment on the ground that he is the treaty ma king power ? Sir, 1 think we ought not to permit it. John Ross knows well that there is no man ou this floor more ready to do the amplest justice to the people than I am, anil unless soihe decisive steps are taken, the whole course of your Govern ment in relation to its Indian policy, will be arrest ed by those propositions. The only way to con duct this matter is to disobey the suggestions, and not yield to the propositions of the President, No power of this Government can destroy the rights of the citizens of Georgia. They will insist on their right to their own soil, which has been assur ed to them under the treaty and grants, bearing the seal of the State, aud they will insist that tiie In dians who are in possession of that soil shall be speedily removed from it. And what will you do? Will you declare war asainst Georgia / Will you take up arms to Ibree grantees out of the pos session of their own land that you may give that land to the Indians who have yielded their right of occupancy under tlie treaty? Yet that is the substance of the proposition sent to us bv the President and which we see now gravely consid ering. Sir, tio Georgian can go for such a mea sure. What will be the consequence of attempt ing it. I warn both sides ot' this House, 1 tell the j friends of the Administration, and 1 tell the gen tlemen in the opposition that such an attempt will certainly be resisted bv Georgia, and her rights will lie maintained by Her constituted authorities and in strict conformity to the rights of the State, although it may he called nullification. The mo ment this House seriously entertains it, the Indi. litis will instantly suppose that Congress is about to interfere to annul the treaty. They will take an obstinate stand upon the soil and the authori ties of Georgia will then execute her laws; and I tell you here in mv place that those laws will be enforced. Before 1 resume my seat. I shall move to lav the President,s communication on the ta ble. A more dangerous interference with the rights of the people of Georgia I have never witnessed, than the message this day received from tlie Pre sident, when he knows well, that Georgia has dis posed of the land under the treaty, that the Geor gia Legislature is not iu session, and that no post- j ponement of the rights of the State w ill be sub mitted to. It far surpasses any proposal (because of the scurce from whence it comes) made in this House by tlie petitions of morbid philanthropists or fanatics, it has taken me by surprise, it was un expected. Why it has been sent to us, 1 cannot understand. 1 protest agsinst its reference to any committee. ?>Tr. Dawson immediately thereupon made his motion that tlie communication of the. President do lie upon the table. This was rejected—and the motion to refer to the Indian Committee prevailed. Tt is exceedingly difficult for one to observe the movements of public men, and to compare their professions with their practice, and still to retain a favorable opinion of human nature. Perhaps lofty professions of patriotism, followed by gross selfishness and venality; pretentions to strict economy, followed by unbounded extravagance; high claims to the love of liberty, followed bv obsequious devotion to Executive power, never were so grotesquely and shamefully exhibited, as by the party now in power, it we wii! observe their course from the tune they first raised the cry of retrenchment and reform, up to the present time, lira late speech in Congress, by Mr. Bond of Ohio, he makes a most s.rikiug exposition of tlie hollow profession*, and inconsistent practices of those who are now iu authority, it must not be t'orgotteu however, (and let it lie remembered in honor of human nature,) that those who united in tlie cry of retrenchment and reform, were not all mere pretenders ; some of them continued to insist on these reforms being carried into practice. Tlie consequence was that they were discarded from the party; but they will be, remembered by tiie country, as men who have proved by many personal sacrifices, their devotion <o their princi ples. Mr. Bond concludes Lis admirable speech on this subject by the following striking appeal.— 'l /,'•■. Monitor. “Sir, has not the country been disappointed ? Have not site l’ople bet:n deceived and allured by specious and vain promises? liar, not the Fed eral Executive patronage inordinatly increased, and is it not still unrestrained ? Is not the power over it abused and perverted ? Do not the expen ses of our General Government far transcend in amount all our pa t history ? Why are these things so, and why has not this “plague been stav ed,” Mr. Speaker, according to vour plighted faith ! I will tel! you wliv, sir, but 1 prefer doing so in the language and illustration of one of your own friends, Mr. Buchanan, of tlie Senate { 0 whom 1 have before referred. p ;1 . n to which I have already, alluded, apj w |/ en assaulting the.

In the sacred | Book, which contains lessons cf wisdom for th'o politician as well as for the Christian, we find a h ippy illustration of the corrupting influence of power upon the human heart. 'When llazael came to consult Elisha whether his‘master, the King of Syria, would recover from a dangerous illness, the prophet, looking through the vista of futurity, saw the crime:; of which the messenger, who stood before him, would be guilt v, and he wept, llazael asked,‘why weepeth in v lord'?’— The prophat then recounted to him the murders and the cruelties ot which he should be guilty towards the children of Israel, llazael, in the spirit of virtuous indignation, replied: ‘ls tbv servant a dug, that he should do this thing ?’ And Elisha answered, ‘The Lord hath shown he slialt be King over Syria.’ This man afterwards became King by the murder of his master, and w as guilty of enormities, the bare recital of which would make us shudder.*’ 1 low true, and, alas! how applicable is this sa cred illustration to those who invoked its use in elevating themselves to power ? Suppose, Mr. Speaker, that somo inspired Eli sha had been present when you and Mr. Buchan an, with others, engaged in ’.lie debate which has been referred to and moved by the sympathetic tear of tlie propht, you had asked. “Why weepeth my lord ?>’ how would you have been astonished in being then told what the People of this country have since realized! Imagine, sir, the inspired one looking through the vista of a few brief years and saying, You will lie placed in power, but will greatly increase tlie amount of all public expenditures. You will use the olfices and patronge of the country for private and not for public, good. Aou will create odices for favorites. You will enlarge all Exec utive power. You will deny the right to call for reasons on a removal from office, and in a few years w ill remove more than 1500 persons from of fice Ibr opinion’s sake! You will derange and corrupt the Post office Department, which you now admit to he sound, and you will not reform any of your designated abuses in the other De partments. You will appoint more members of Congress to office in four years than has been done in all the past history o( the Government. Your bill for the abolition of the power and patronage over the Press will sleep the sleep of death. Aon will retain -‘the press, the post office, the armed force, and the appointing power in the hands of the the President, and will not sutler them to change position and take post on the side of the People.” lou now censure a svnali appropriation to purchase some nddditional furni ture for the President’s house, but you will furnish that house in luxurious style tor General Jackson, who will be succeeded bv Mr. Van Buren ; and he, not content with tlie second-hand furniture of his predecessor, will cast off and make his entrv into that edifice, with one appropriation of $7,300 for alterations of the house and superintendence of the grounds, and another appropriation of $20,- 000 foi new furniture, and this, too, in the very venr when your public treasury will he bankrupt, aou will increase the expenses of foreign mis sions and suffer your Ministers to return home on such brief service as will show their appointments to have been made lor individual gain rather than public good. Aon will increase the contingent expenses of this House from SBO,OOO, the ‘present annual amount, to *210,000. You will add to the like expenses of the Senate and to «]l other expenditures in the same ratio; and the sum total tor the whole civil list and ordinary appropriations of the Government, which is now $12,163,438, will be incieased from time to time under vour boasted reform, until it shall exceed thirty millions per year. AYm now question the right of a Department to purchase a print or likeness of the immortal Washington, but will decorate every room in all the Departments with likenesses of Martin Van Buren. AYm will, by means of the office-hol ders—the enlisted soldiers, as you have just called them—bring ti;e patronage cf the General Gov eminent into conflict with the freedom of elec tions, and you w ill resi. t the bill that shall he brought in to secure the freedom of elections.

You, Mr. Dickerson, also a member ol‘ the com mittee, will be made Secretary cf the Navy; but the f ;et «rtmt-nt will be so mismanaged under vour direction, it u ill be truly said cf you, on the floor ot congress, ‘there is none ro poor a ; to do him rev erence.’ You, Mr. Woodberry w ill take first the Navy and then the Treasury Department, and un der your supervision an attempt to humbug the people with the promise of an exclusive hardmon ey currency, will result iu the banishment of all specie, a hankruj t'i icasury, and the circulation of shin-plasters and Treasury notes. Imagine, then, Mr. Speaker,such a response to have been made,at the period of time w hich I have suggested. What would have been your, replv, aud what would Mr. Buchanan, who made the scripture allusion, have said. Methiuks I almost see and hear him exclaim, Is tliy servant a dog, that he should do ~ Uisthit:r r ? W e arc tub 1 , that notwithstanding the indigna tion o* Uazacl, he reached the throne of Syria, oy uuudPring the King his master, and soon com mitted all tlie enormities foretold by the prophet.

ADMISSION OF TEN AS. W e have received the very able speech of Mr. Pn ston ou the admission ol Texas into the Union ; we fear, however, that it is too kite. It is rumored that the Texinn Minister in London, after several interviews w ith the members ofthe British Cabi net, has received assurances that the indepen dence ot Texas w ill be recognized by that Govern ment on certain conditions aud consideratious. It islvirther said tint an t ariv application has bn a made to the British .Minister iu Mexico for details ol the power and reseurses of that republic, and the prospect ot success in f he repossession of Tex as, and the reply ha.: been hi e.i ry respect unfa vorable to tiny attempt winch Mexico may make to reconquer that territory. h he first condition required by the British Min istry is the withdraw al ofthe application toCou gros made by Texas 10-conieinas one ofthe con federated States ot tin Union, on the ground that a proposition to be recognized as an independent na tion could not be entertained during a pending application to become a component part of the American family. The doubts and difficult es tnrown in the way of annexation by Norliern poli ticians, and tlie obvious benifits to be derived from a treaty with England, which of course includes recognition and treaties from oilier Continental powers, together with the increasing population and resourses ot Texas, determined that Govern nient to withdraw its application for coining into the Union, and thus a powerful independent na tion will be established with a Territory half as targe as tlie whole United States, and with a body of active, intelligent men, emigrating from all parts ot the world in ntunders e»lceluted seriously to alarm Mexico hereafter for the integrity of her other possessions. England w ill find a direct mar ker lor an immense amount of her manufactures, and an indirect outlet through Mexico and the navigable rivers of this country —the supply of the Indians and others at a low tariff, taking in exchange, among other products, from one to two hundred thosaml bales of cotton annually. It is an invaluable accession of power and influence to England in other respects. Hanging on cur borders on a long line of Territory reaching from- Nova Seruia, Upper aud Lower Canida almost to the Rocky Mountains to the North and North West, England, by this earlv alliance w ith Texafi exercises a direct commercial nnd political inf*’-* ence. from the Atlantic to the Pacific, on the Ini’S line of the Rio del Norte to the and "e may say thus nearly encompassing she whojcl ion with her extended territorial arms; kcepiug also a watchful eye on tlie Mexican mines, aiding to improve the navigation of the great streams, to get into the heart of Mcxieo--making valuable treaties with the immense bodies of Indians and Mestizoes—pushing on excitement and divisions among the already divided parties in Mexico, and finally annexing that country to Texas, including the ports of Tampico and Vera Cruz, the work only of a few years, and finally possessing The great key to the Pacific and the commerce of the Indians by the Ship Canal across the Isthmus o Darien.
