We would respectfully inform our notions at and the public that we contemplate suiun v new ar iaogeuionts, and improvenients, in the fath coming volume of ‘the Irishman'," and ivh !e we gratefully acknowledge our obligations ibr past encouragement, we uust ;hat an augmen ted liberality will enable us to carry those pro jects into execution. Indeed the political as pect of things, and the relative position in which we have voluntarily placed ourselves, would seem to demand a corresponding energy and enterprise on our part;—Tor we cann t con ceal from ourselves that a crisis is approaching very rapidly—if it has not already arrived— when every advocate for good order, and the “ integrity of this U»i .n, must be bold in avowing, and zealous in propagaling the due doctrines of the Constitution. The enemy is rallying his forces, and augmenting his mears of annoyance—the most powerful engines that talent, ingenuity, or low cunning can bring to bear, arc, or will peedily be levelled at the ven erable fabric of our institutions—and however feeble our efforts, they must not be wanting to “resist the foe.” With this view, wo piopose enlarging onr sheet, and giving to it the ‘ form and pressure” of the ordinary vehicles of infor mation. The circle of Our exchanges too has been considerably extended, and assistance has been secured in the Editorial department. We promise our readers a large, accession of origin al, and an immediate transfer of such select.-I matter, aa may bear on the gieat inteiests cl which we profess out selves the advocates; —in short, we are desirous of establishing a now tera in the hin'ory of the “Irishman 4- Democrat,” and respectfully solicit the co-operation ol our friends. A renewal of our political professions may be considered as somewhat gratuitoui at this peri od of our career; but such is the general boule rersement of parties, such the open tergiversa tion, or contemptible trimming, which cliarac tejizo and disgrace the period in which we live, that, the honest Journalist owes it to himoelf.no less than to his patrons, to recur frequently to first principles. In accotJanco with this con viction, we now avow our full determination to abide the issue of those principles which actua ted us in the outset— lrish Disenthralment, and the Integrity of the American Union! Every thing hostile to the first, we stand sol emnly and irrevocably pledged to encounter, whenever contempt or a less exeuseable feeling will permit us to do so; whatever militates a gainit the last—no matter whence it proceed, or under what specious exterior it may he dis guised, be it open suggestion, Nullification, or Hartford, or any other Convention—as Aineri can-citizcns, as men, as the reverers of Wash ington and his last precious legacy, we shall lift up our v >icos. “trumpet-tongned, against its deep damnation!” Opposed as wo are. and have ever been to the Tariff, Internal Improvements, and the whole hostof kindred abominations, wc shall never cease to oppose them with coii titu tional weapons; but that policy which would tear down a magnificent edifice, reared at in calculable cost and labor, and sacrifice, be cause its latter tenants inay have appropriated it to other uses than were oiigiuaily designed, is indicativt of such wanton folly', or reckless ambition, as to leave us no choice between im plied acquiescence and unqualified reprobatiin W th such measures and their authors, we can hold neither council nor communion. Wo view them as destructive to the very last degree, of every thing estimable or sacred in our political existence; and comparatively insignificant as we may seem, if our friends are not wanting to themselves and us, we may yet oppose a formi dable barrier to the march of ruin To this end, our columns will ho open, and we earnestly en treat the contributions of all friends of tiie U uion. “It must be preserved,” has nheady been wafttd from a quarter, whose warning tones are at once the summons to exertion, and the harbingers of conquest. Let us not be un mindful of the call. As legarilx the ensuing Presidential election, symptoms by no means equivocal, have already begun to manifest themselves, to the uttter dis comfiture of every previous prognosis Nor docs it require any refined sagacity to discover their proximate cause—Jackson "has had tlio firmness and consistency to frown on ihe mach inations to which wo have already adverted A lienee, some of those that rang the loudest note? of praise, are beginning to ivail their feeble cries, or to fulminate their coarsest anathemas. To c-i.ll this only political defection, were a fee ble phrase: in our opinion it involves a much unite serious charge of gross moral delinquen cy, lor it must puzzle even nullification sophis try itself to point out the vast discrepancies between Jackson the idolized, and Jackson ‘.lie jorsaken! In what lias he fallen short of the I glorious anticipations, ofßvhich those very men wore the vouf! tors and proclaimers? What du ty lias lie neglected? What responsibilities has lie evaded? What recent occurrences have cast their darkening shadows over a iife of unnaral lelled devoledncss. and incalculable public ser vices?—For ourselves as we were among the first to support, we arc now confirmed in our confi and nee in tiie man, by the very measures that] have entailed the displeasure of hi* opnooen's; and if any possible contingency could induce us to swerve from onr fidelity, it would most assu redly he of a more important character than a pcrson.al difference with Mr. Calhoun, with which tiie public have, properly, nothing at all to do. Andrew Jackson we now proclaim to he our last, our on///, and we Rhall yet live, we trust, to add, our ovocr.'srvu OaniuuAlE: Let his tricnds come forth bolblv: the season is early, but not too early to counteract the subtle schemes, the Maebiavelinn artifices ofhis ene mies; and while we offer every facility which our columns can afford, we pledge ourselves to go hand in hand with them in whatever may promote the glorious cau-e!

I ho forests of North America are now unceasingly groaning under the axe of tin backwoodsman; and it is no uncommon J spectacle to In-hold a village smiling on ihe spot which a few months before Was an almost impracticable forest, or the haunt alone ol the wild beast and the sav age. ‘‘ Great changes!” I exclaimed, as I a lighted at the door ol a log building, in front of which hung a rude sign to arrest the steps ol the traveller. “ A few years ago there was scarcely the trace of a white man to be seeu, where I now behold a flourishing town and a numerous colo ny of inhabitants—a large tract of forest land enclosed, and corn shooting up a nnd the dying trunks of its aboriginal trees.” “ .Our village thrives was the laconic remark of a tall slender personage, who was lounging against the sign post of the village inn, around which half a dozen idlers were assembled. “ True; civilization has made rapid strides, but the red men, I perceive, have not yet disappeared from among you.” (Four or five Indians were lying stretch ed upon a bank at a short distance from the inn door, basking in the rays of the setting sun.) “Not yet was the reply. “They come into the village to sell their peltries; but at present they are not very well satisfied with the intercourse we have had togeth er.” “ How so; do you take advantage of their ignorance of the value of their mer chandise!” “Possibly we do; but that is not their chief cause of dissatisfaction. They still prefer their council grove and summary punishment, to our court-house and pris on.” “ Court-house and prison! Cannot so small a community as this be kept togeth er without til's aid of such establish ments!” “I know not; but few- communities however small are willing to try the ex periment. As yet our prison has had but one tenant, and to his fate may be attrib uted the surly deportment of yonder sav ages. They belong to the same tribe.” 1 expressed a curiosity to hear the par ticulars ofhis story. My communicative friend led the way into the tavern, where, as soon as we were seated, lie commenced his account in nearly the following words:— “Tangoras wns the chief of a neigh bouring tribe of Indians. He is now ad vanced in years, but still retains much of the vigour of youth. Brave, expert in the chase, patient in fatigue, and beloved by bis people; Ins voice is a law, for he is looked upon as the sole remaining exam ple of wiiat the tribe was before the whites appeared among them. “ He seems to have beheld the progress •of civilization with the same feelings as the shipwrecked mariner watches the ap proach of the wave that is to wash him from the rock on which he has attained a foothold. The land of his fathers had been wrested from him. He defended it bravely until resistance was found to be fruitless; and when he became subject to the laws of the pale faces he viewed their proceedings as tyrannical, and himself as little better than a slave. “They told him that his condition would he but they would not suffer him to be happy in his own way; and, unluckily, for the old chief, no one can define happiness in such a manner as will accord with the conception of anoth er. All imagine they comprehend its meaning, and all differ. From the cradle to the grave we are struggling to grasp it; but, like the delusive vessel formed of mists, it vanishes when considered near est, and leaves its hopeless and alone in the midst of a turbulent sea. “ When he complained of the injustice done him, they urged that the earth was given to man to cultivate, and that he who rcuusi-s to iunu me condition, loses his title to it. In vain di 1 the old Indian argue from the same authority, that the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field were also given to mail’s use, and that he therefore preserved his hunting grounds inviolate; that lie cultivated as much as his wants required; and that he who does more, brings a curse rather titan a blessing upon his fellows, by introducing among them luxury and its attendant evils. “They also told hint that the Christian religion confers upon its professors, who are the immediate heirs of heaven, a right to the soil paramount to any human claim. The old cliief as he bowed to lliis decision, calmly replied—“ While you who profess Superior knowledge, are taught to pursue a line of action as per fect as can come within the comprehen sion . of human intellect, wherever the cross htis appeared, instead of awakening the Lest feelings of your nature, the de mon of destruction seems to have l»cen roused within you, and death and de-ela tion have followed. Though you tell me it is the emblem of peace to all mankind, to us, at least, it has been the signal of war, of exterminating and merciless war.” “But to proceed with my story: “Tangorus seldom entered the villages i of the whites, and refused to make use VOL? I—TtfO* ft 2* of our manufactures, lie drissed J.irr.- self in skins instead of the Llai l et?, which bis people hud adopted: for b* said; be won! live as 1 is lathers h: and lived, and die as they had tiled. Al out a year age, at the head of a do-en of his tr be, he de scended yonder lull by the narrow path which winds over it. His followers were laden with peltries; hut the old chief marched erect, with h s umuix only in his hand, and las huiiting-ktufe stuck in his trirdle, for he scorned to Le a paek-httfse for the pale fares. “As he entered the village, h's coun tenance was stamp and with more than a •itial austerity. I spoke to him, hut he made no reply. He refused to enter our cabins, and turmd away from food when it was profit-red him. He s:rcti bed him self beneath the shade of flic cypress tree at the hig spring, while bis followers pro ceeded to dispose of their metchat.dise. “ If so happened that four or five Indi ans lx longing to a tribe inhaiiiiinga tract of country somewhat lower down the riv er, were in the village at the same time. ' They had made tju.’ir soli sand purclw ses, and were about to depart as Tangoras and hi? joeople appeared'. They soon mingled together, and a low guttt ral con versation ensued. From the volcnce of " their gesticulations, we concluded that the subject was of deep interest. A tall handsome savage of about five and twen ty years of age, active mid athletic, kept aloof from the crowd, and appeared to he the subject of conversation, from the ferocious glances cast at him by the tribe of Tangoras. He was evidently uneasy; and as he slowly receded, as if intending to leave the village, lie kept his and irk eye lowering suspiciously upon the crowd. He had already passed the furthermost house, and drew nigh to the place where Tangoras lay, too much wrapped in his own reflections to attend to what was go ing forward. “The sound of footsteps awakened his attention: be slow ly turned his Herculean frame, and appearing to recognise the young savage, sprung in an instant upon his feet. A fierce yell succeeded, which the distant hills re-echoed, and the next instant we beheld the stianger flying like the affrighted deer from the famished wolf, towards the mountains. _ Tangoras fol lowed close behind. They crossed the plain with the rapidity of an arrow from a bow, and at intervals the fiend-like yell of the old chief, startled the eagle as lie en joy'd his circling flight in the upper air. “While crossing the plain, the youthful activity of the fugitive Indian enabled him to exceed the speed of his pursuer; but in ascending the opposite ridge, it w as evident that he was losing ground sen si blv. A shout of triumph which the e« vening breeze carried from mountain to mountain, proclaimed that Tangoras wa9 aware of bis advantage. The rest of the savages watched the chase with intense interest, and preserved a dead silence. They scarcely breathed as they leaned forward with their eyes fixed upon the parties ascending the rugged and winding path. The young Indian now stood up on a bate rock on the brow of the ridge. He paused for a moment to breathe. The motion of his body did not escape us as he drew a deep inspiration. He cast a look downwards upon his pursuer, who followed close after him. It wns but a momentary glance; and the young man disappeared on the opposite side of the mountain. Tangdras sprang upon the rock, sent forth a yell, and the next mo ment was out of sight also. He did not pause to breathe, nor did he slacken his pace as he ascended the ridge; he could have kept on from the rising to tin; setting of the sun without fatigue or without n bating his speed, for be united with the strength of the rugged bear the activity of the deer; nor did he fear to wrestle with the one without a weapon, or to hunt down the other without a dog to keep him on the trail. “They were no sooner out of sight than the savages in the village started in pur suit of them. As they sprang over the plain, they yelled and leaped like a herd ..<• flmiwica wutu. on me scent ot their prey. It was indeed a wild sight to be hold them rushing along the narrow path over the mountain. “The fugitive pursued his course down the western deckvity with increased swift ness. It was the race of a maniac. He leaped from rock to rock at the hazard of his life, and bad gained considerably up on Tangoras, who followed with his eve fixed upon his victim, and without slack ening hi3 speed. At intervals he sent forth the piercing war whoop, and the fearful sound increased the speed of the fugitive. “At the base of the mountain was a river deep »r,d rapid. The fugitive came rushing flown with the ungoverued velo city of a thing inanimate. He reached the green hank of the river, and without pausing sprang into its waves. The cur rent bore him rapidly along, and *he cool water refreshed his burning body. He had not swam far before Tangoras stood upon the bank, and immediately with a heavy plunge desired into the. river; he beat aside the waves with his sinewy arms; his head was elevated, tlnd his broad chest : piffled the water, even ns the prow of a j vessel. He glided niton the surface us I thouirh be bid been a creature of the elc ; ment, and the small waves leajted about Ins brawny neck in playful wantor.ness-
