conversation which took place, upon
the subject of the Indians, and the In
dian character, Col. H. informed (lie
writer th it in one of his excursions
through the Indian country, he fell in
with a very aged Cherokee Indian ehi f,
who appeared to he highly intelligent,
and understood and spake the English
language pretty well: that he ha J'sev

in one of which he congratulated the old
man upon the great prospect of the im

lieve the red people would become ac
quainted wilh he arts of civilized life -
they would he better cloathed, better
fed, and what was more important,
they would become acquainted wiP.i
the doctrines and principles of the
Christian religion. The old gentleman
listened to him with profound respect
and attention, until the Col. had closed
his remarks, and then with much ein
phasis and shake of his head, replied,
that he doubted the benelits to the re<i
people pointed out by the Col. Before
their fathers were acquainted with the
w hite people, they needed but little, and
that little the great spirit gave them.
The forest supplied them with food and
raiment. As to religion the whites as
sembled at their churches, sung loud,
prayed loud, and made mu h noise.'
The red people met once a year at the
feast of new corn, extinguished all their
fire, and kindled up anew tire, the
smoke of which ascended to the Great
Spirit as a grateful sacrifice. \ow
what better is your religion Ilian ours?
We all have the same object in view.
Befoi e our acquaintance with the white
people, red people never got drunk;
they never told lies, because they nev
er had temptations to tell falsehoods,
they never committed theft, because
they had no temptations to steal; if. in
deed, parties were out hunting and one
party w as more successful than the oth
er, and hungup their game, and the un
successful party found it, if they needed
provisions they would take a part of it:
this was not considered stealing, it was
the custom and law of their tribes.
The red people never swore, because
they had no words to express an oath:
the red people did not cheat, because
there was no lemptation for them to
cheat. The white people have learnt
us to get drunk, to swear, to lie, to
steal, and cheat—and if these vices, as
you profess to hold them, and punish by
your laws, be beneficial to the red peo
ple, we are benefited by our acquain
tance with the whites -if not, we are
greatly injured by that acquaintance.
To say the least of this untutored man
opinions (except as to religion.) were
but too well founded, and are a severe
rebuke upon the character of those pro
fessing and boasting the superior ad
vantages ol the lights of education, mid
knowledge of the religion of the holy
Redeemer.

In the following answer of the PosUnas'er
Genetal to a resolution introduced into the
House of Representatives ot the United states
by Mr. Loiper, we have a palpable argument in
'avot of the exercise of the power of internal
improvement, far which we have always con
tended, by the general government No one,
we presume, will venture to deny to the go
vernment *he power to transport the mail.
Does not the power to facilitate its transport -
tion necessarily result? And if a link of rood,
of the highest importance in a national view,
as the po-t-road from Philadelphia to Baltimor
undoubtedly is, though of comparatively small
importance as a State load, be so defective as
to be next to impassable, can any one deny the
power ofihe government, by the agency of the
••ost Office Department, if you please, to reme
dy the evil? We are obliged o Mr. Lciper for

Reply to a resolution of the House of

causes of the irregular ity of the arr ival
of the Eastern Mail.
Post Office Department,
February, 10, 1331
t 'lß: In obedience to a resolution of the house
ot representatives, requesting the Postmaster
General to “communicate to the house the cau
ses ol the iiregularity of the arrival of the Eas
tern mail, to what the failure is attributable, and
what remedy can be provided to prevent the de
lay,” 1 have the honor to state, that the recent
snow storm so obstructed the roads, as to render
them, in some in-lances, wholly impas-nble; and
nothing but the un earied and Imost unexam
pled exertions of efficient and enterprising con
tractors, in the midst of the tempest, could have
procured a pa sage for the mail through the
immense drifts of snow, which are represented
to have been, in many places, from five to twen
ty feet in height. This impediment, it is presu
suined, will not be of frequent occurrence; yet
it is anticipated that the melting of the snow
especially if attended yvith rain, will so swell
some of the streams on the route as to cause a
few more failures. lam further advi ed, that
this mail is occasionally retarded in its progress
bv the rise of water and floating of ice in the
--'Usqtieliannali river, and the condition of about
forty-four miles of the Philadel

ent juncture in which conflicting m» l.io s threa
ten a change in the form of our go ern en! and
a suspension of the peace, safety and happiness
of society by civil war, —poli'ical candor and
moral hone ty demand a suseinct declaration
of principles and views, that a clear line ot de
marcation may bo traced between the triends of
peace and rational freedom and tne advocates of
anarchy and carnage
he Telegraph will, as it has hitherto done,
vindicate personal and political liberty so far as
compatible .. ith private happiness and public
safety. It will therefore cling to the opinion of
the fathers of the revolution, as comprised in
tbe Declaration ol Independence and the Gon
stitntion of the United States; and it holds t to
be a truth almost intuitive, that on the most vi
gilant and •mreinittiiig'restriction of the gene
ral and state brandies ol our government to
their respective provinces, depend the benign
operations of those opinions, the virtue of the
man, the franchise of the citizen, and tho inter
nal peace and external safety of the country
Under thee impressions, the Telegraph as
regards Ihe causes of excitement in the South,
considers the ju rsdiction • f every stale over
irer chartered limits to belong exclusively to her
own tribunals, and every interference with it
eit.ierby the Federal Judiciary or by congress
to be a palpable usurpation that ought to be
resisted; but the tariff though injudicious in
in'inv .-.fits orovisions and needing general re
v io to adapt it to the interest of the count y, it
v a» ucmg strictlv within the power with
v\ inch c tigress is invested; and believes that in
ternal improvement, in its exis ing shape, to be
r atlier an abuse of legitimate anthority than an
infraction of the constitution an evil which
the patriotism and independence of President
Jackson has gone far to remedy and which tho
good sense and virtue of future congresses will
no doubt remove altogether
It w II therefore be readily perceived that the
Telegraph acknowledges that the Southern
people have just grounds for cemplaint and re
monstrance. in wi ich it unites, but none for se
dition or revolution; and contends thitthe ad
vocates of the latter measures, whether under
the name ofnullifiers or conventionisle, are in
fact adverse to the peace and prosperity of «ur
country and inimical to the morals and happi
ne.ss ol its citizens.
It wilt likewise be inferred, and 'hat truly,
