August 12. 1831. 33 tf From the Washington City Globe. j REMOVAL OF THE OHIO INDIANS. . I We give an interesting extract of a lrt jter from J. B. Gardiner, explaining the ; terms} which have been -tendered through | him by the President. U induce the Ohio tribes to emigrate beyond the Mississip pi. The politicians who have been con stantly accusing the Chief Magistrate of j‘ driving the Indians, with ruthless in justice, from the graves of their fathers,” I will surely feel some compunction when they see the paternal care with which the Indians have been provided with new homes, adapted to their peculi ar modes of life, with a permanent fond to supply them annually with the necessa ries w hipli they have not skill to manu facture, and w ith an outfit, aid and pro tection, to enable them to reach the place chosen by them for their abode, and to establish themselves in comfort. Those who are sincerely interested in the fate of the aborigines of the territory over w hich our States have spread, will he gratified to see in the plain adopted by the Presi dent, all their wishes accomplished.— Unlike the tribes of the New England States, which have vanished under the guardianship of philanthropic overseers, the western Indians w ill he preserved as an independent people beyond our fron tiers sustained by their original puruit; and the gradual growth of the agricul i tural arts with which they have become partially acquainted. Mr. Gardiner deserves much credit for the manner in which he has carried into effect the wise and benevolent views of the President. Extinct of a letter from J. B. Gardner. ‘•Previously to entering on the mission assigned me, I well knew the feelings and sentiments of the President, in relation to those remnants of the unfortunate race of red men. who still linger among us— I knew that his whole heart was moved w ith the deepest sympathy for their situ ation. That he was determined, if pos sible, to rescue them from the miseries which they now endured; from the evil examples by which they were environed, within the organized counties of this State; and from the pernicious habits, w hich they have strongly imbibed, and which w ere wasting them away, like w a ter poured upon sand. I had heard from his own lips, expressions of the strong est commiseration for their poverty, wretchedness and debasement; and that lie desired to give me the utmost latitude within his power, for the amelioration of their condition, and for the perma nent security of their happiness and pros perity. YYith this knowledge, I entered upon my duties; and in all my public and private interviews with the natives, I have assured them of the entire good ; will and kindest feelings, not only of the Government, hut of ail good white men in the United States. I have told them, w hat is true, that the present is the only President we ever had, who possessed an intimate pesotial knowledge of the In dians ; had lived among them and near them for many years, and was perfectly acquainted with their manners, habits, customs, pursuits and necessities. That he was now in the vale of life ; his head was whitened with tiic snows of time ; that he sought not for money, nor for lands, nor power. That his sole object was the happiness and prosperity of those over whom he had been called to rule ;; and that he had particularly charged me j to assure them, that he was equally af fectionate towards his fed children, as to | his w hite, and would preserve, protect, and foster them, with equal care. In the overtures which I made to them. I was particular to inform the Indians that their acceptance must he voluntary, or not at all. That their rejection should not prejudice them in the mind or the feelings of the President; and that they might remain forever where they were, without receiving injury or Unkindness from him • Ho far from using the semblance of a "threatM it is known to all citizens who heard me address the Indians every where, that 1 laid much stress upon the great importance of calm deliberation ; and mature reflection upon the proposi- 1 tions of the Government, before tliry ac ceded to them. I admonished them that they were legislating for their posterity, j as well as for themselves ; and that they 1 might take the w hole summer and fall,- if necessary to make up their decision, in the affirmative;or negative. “The treaty which was lately formed at Lew istown, with the mixed hand of Senecas and ShaWrtccs residing there, gave entire satisfaction, not only to the Indians themselves, but to the numerous citizens of Logan and other counties, who attended its progress and conclusion.— The conditions were not only humane, hut munificent towards the Indians. The agreement is based on different princi ples from any other compact with the natives ever made in the United States, except that formed with Hie Senecas of 1 Sandusky, last winter, at Washington City. They cede to the United States' 40,000 acres of land, w hich is to be sur veyed and put into the public market; and all the proceeds over 70 cents per acre, are to belong exclusively to the In dians, and either to be paid over to them for their sole use, or to be vested in gov ernment stock, and live per cent. on the amount to accrue to the tribe as a perpet ual annuity. The surplus avails will not be less than 840,000. Their im provements arc estimated at 86,000, and are to be advanced by Government, and reimbursed out of the surplus funds. They arc to have a Saw-mill and black smith shop, and a smith to do all their necessary work. They have made their 1 ow n selection of a tract of land, west of the Mississippi, w hich is to contain 60, ; 000 acres, and to be granted to them by patent in fee simple. The Government guarantees them the possession of it “as long as they shall exist as a nation, and remain upon the same.” It is also guar anteed that, it shall “never be within the limits of any State or Territory, nor subject to the laws thereofand that tlu* Indians shall he- piotcctcd at their nr‘,\ residence against all interruption or dis turbance from any other tribe or nation of Indians, or from any other person or persons whatever. The President is to have the same care and superintendence over them, in the country to which they design to remove, as he now has at their present home. They are to be removed in a convenient and comfortable manner, j at the expense of the United States, and subsisted on good and wholesome pro vis- 1 ions for one year after their arrival at j their new residence. They have the: privilege of nominating to the President some competent person, friendly to them, and acquainted with their manners, cus toms and wants, who, if approved by him, shall have charge of their convey ance. They w ere requested to name the number of blankets, ploughs, hoes, axes 1 and guns which would be necessary for i their people. They did so ; and the same were granted as presents. In place of the number of guns which I was au thorized to give them, they requested that horse-gears might he substituted, as I they intended to become more an agricul tural, than a w andering 01 h ti ng peo ! pie. This also was granted; and at ! their further request, they w ere given as J i much Russia sheeting as would makefor ;ty tents. Three stuall Reservations j i were made for some of their white friends who had formerly lived among them, and mjdercd them many services. Indeed there was no expressed wish of the Indians left un, gratified. They were ! highly delighted with the terms of their ' agreement and their principal Chief has 1 already gone to New York to surrender | to his brethren there the bond of Union I (the IVampuvi Brit) which has hereto fore united them as one people, and to i take a final leave of the ancient home of , iiis progenitors. The Senecas of San- 1 dusky, who treated at Washington last j February, and a small band of Dela- J wares, who sold their reservation in the Sandusky Plains two years ago, will set j out in a few w eeks for their new homes. Two of the Delaware Chiefs (Capt. Pipe and Capt Monture) have lately re turned from the country assigned them, west of the Mississippi, where they have been exploring for a considerable time ; and they speak in the highest terras of I commendation of the country, arid the prosperous situation of their brethren, wiio have been therefor some years They also say that the Shawnces, who are settled on the river khutxas, [pro nounced K’nsau,] not far from its junc tion with the Missouri, have a fertile, healthy and beautiful country, and are more wealthy and happy than th‘-y have i ever been before. These Chiefs have j brought Wampums to all the the tribes in j Ohio, inviting thorn to go and sit down by their brethren in the “far w est.” “The considerable tribe of Shaw nces at YYnpaghkonetta, (who own 117,000 acres in the heart of Allen county.) arc now ready and anxious to form a treaty, similar to that just male with their neighbors, the Senecas, and I shall leave: home in a day or two for the purpose off opening a negociation with them. The YVyandots of Upper Sandusky are be coming quite favorably disposed to the overtures of the Government, and a gen eral council is to he held with them about the middle of August. The Cutaways, residing on the Miami of the Lake, and owing reservations on each side of the line between Ohio and Michigan, have been visited and consul toil with, an 1 a Grand Council is to be held with them about the Ist of September, at which time it is probable a treaty w ill be form ed for the cession of their lands. “I have thought that the above details might be interesting to some of my old friends and neighbors and perhaps serve to correct a few of the “ thousand and one” mis representations, which have lately lo und their way into the Journals | of the day, relative to the benevolent an'l generous overtures, which I have been authorized to make to the Indians.” I am very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. B. GARDINER. * —mi w • ■~v*- r snssj!!* DEFERRED. From the New.Orleans Advertiser. Since our last the wind bus abated, but the weather is still exceedingly rough. During the forepart of the day, our streets are delu ged with rain, and in the evening, during the sway of the moon, the atmosphere is intense ly oppressive. The hack part of our city ex tending along Rampart street and towards the swamp, is entirely inundated. Yester day morning, several parties in small boats were seen hunting ducks, where but a f w days since commerce was actively conducted; and even as far as the countiug-bouse of Messrs. John Hagan & Cos. in Canal street, the roads were only passable by means of pi rogues. In some of the houses in the back part of the city there is as much as three feet ot water; arid all the houses on the west side of Rampart street, the first floors of which -ire on a level with the street, have Coin two -to three feet water in them. The cessation ol rain during the early part of yesterday inor ning, afforded an opportunity of visiting tho lower part of the city. The situation of ttm levee from faubourg Washington (Nutt’s prop erty )is indeed horrid; and after the who!.*ex tent of it, we cannot but feci thankful to providence, even when regarding the dismal appearance, that the storm did not burst upon lus when the river was at its highest. Then we should have had to relate the destruction of the whole extent of that oart of tiie levee commencing at faubourg Washington as far down as the levee already informed. What levee like the one we mention could have ar rested a storm like that of the night of tins 10th instant, if the fiver had been in its win ter stage, high up on the banks? The curren r . would have made one entire crevasse of tho whole extent of that levee from faubourg Washington, even to the Balizc; rior could the strong levee in front of Miller’s mill have | withstood the storm, when on cither side of it crevasses would have been formed to a ! frightful extent. We thank heaven thedis- I asters about us are no worse, arid hope 3 ich | precautions will he taken in future, to pre j vide against the inundations we should over j expect from storms of this.nature. The back j parts of all the lower faubourgs arc in a bc -1 dy of water, arid many different sea-birds have j been caught in-this neighborhood. In fau -1 !>ourg Treme, the poor are great sufferers, < - | hligcd as they have been of late to lay down their gunwales for banquettes; and small an the expenses have been to them, yet all is ! lost to them, and their property may be seen i floating away. In this situation of things, the rain continues to fall i.i torrents; the ! lake continues to vise* and property becomes} 1 hourly more endangered. We hope, hov,- | ever, that the weather will take ari earlv j change* During yesterdayw e had tome kea | vy thunder, which is the first since the com mencement of the storm; this may clear tho atmosphere. In many parts of the town we have obser ved large quantities of lime stow ed away in wooden sheds. It is not proper that this should he allowed: on Thursday, a lot of this material became wet, and immediately quick ened and set the building on fire in which it was stored, which Was consumed. False economy —A Correspondent wishes us to animadvert upon that false econoum, which, in the vulgar phraseology, “saves at the tap and loses at the bung hole” A good many chapters might be written upon the sul - jeet. A sermon now and then might be of utility—an essay occasionally not outofplace. People sometimes imagine a half a dozen bad contrivances ate better than one good on- - A pane of glass is broken out— a half worn hat-goes into the passage hole—u towel ol two round that—and after several decent ar ticles are worn out in this way, a pane of glass, which costs perhaps only a tenth part of the money, by aefcklCnt gets in. Repair ing fences and painting houses arc too expen sive* A half dozen cattle walk into what ought to have been your enclosure, and de stroy your crop for the season; your house looks weather beaten, decays, dilapidates, and you wonder why you do not think of hid ding defiance to the weather by a seasonable coat cf paint. Our friend is not too dointv to fetch a pail of water occasionally. His pail, he said, leaked the other day, from a hole of ancient date. lie lost nearly half his water, and of course half his labor; his shoes aro soaked through, and twinges of rheumatism threaten him with the expense of a doctor’s bill. We know of a house, the hack door of which had lost both bolt and button. It remained without proper security some months; during that time two case knives, five table forks, and three skewer* were bro ken up and sold for old iron. The door frame also was punched in to holes, resembling a honey comb, one of which was so large that in bad weather it was necessary to close it with a napkin or table cloth.—we forget which. The instances ure innumerable, ami we might run on without end; but enough hereof for the present. — Herald. Col. McNeil, the vigilant collector of this district, seized upwards of $2,000 worth of j goods which had been smuggled into the 1 States frotn'Canadu, at Albany, last week.— i He almost made a seizure of about $4,009. ! in Champlain, the same week.
