jassary to keep up the semblance of in Upendanee among the Indian tribes, humanity can go no farther. T»e language usually held out to the Indians, by the agents of the Govern in act, to isduce them to remove, is, that they are to remain uncontrolled in their habits; that an extensive country will be assigned them, a- with game and evory other .advantage suited to their pristine ha •bit*. Without an extended country tn the south, the Government cannot •comply with those engagements. It is a" mere mockery of humanity to hold such language to the Indians, when under exilting circumstances, •the promises contained can never be realized. It is like adorning the vic tim with flowers o#d fillets, when you are leading it to the alter. In our transactions with the Indians, as well as others, the scale of justice should never preponderate, ~or the language of humanity be disguised. In placing them west of the civilization, they aiuit have a country in extent suitable to their roving habits. If they are all ■to be crowded into tho territory now ut the disposition of the Government in the west, the consequence will be, war, starvation, and a total extermi nation of the race. If this S is to be the case, the cause of humanity would be aided, by compelling them to stay where they are, and submit to •tha restraints of civilization. If the proposition respeoting the formation of our Indian colony, with out the range of the States and Ter ritories, contained in (he report of the Secretary of War, should be adopted by ths Government, we will have, according to the Secretary's calcula tion, seventy-five thousand at one litter, in addition to those already in the country. We most acknowledge, that the Secretary would be extremely productive in people for his colony, but will he tell vis, where he will put them? and how he will subsist them, under existing circumstances, I believe his plan rational and practi cable, if tiie Texas country belonged jto the government; but, otherwise, the restricted limits in which he would have to plant his colony, would render ,itt a perfect Indian slaughter-house. FIRE AT BRAINT.RD. 'We have just been informed that a de structive fire happened on last Friday night to the missionary station at Brain .erd. The dwelling house, the two school louses, and the kitchen, we understand pre reduced to ashes. The original cost .Of these buildings was probably not less than 9-4000. Our informant did not learn jwhethcr any other building was burnt, or how much property was saved. This un fortunate circumstance must, at least for .a while, put a stop to that flourishing school.

Feb. 1830. ] j 1 this day transmit you a eopv of the report of the Committee on Indian Affairs in the Senate. It relates as will he seen, more particularly to our situation, and the threatened exten sion of the State laws over pur nation; and strikes at the very root of oui ex istence as a nation. How the Honor able Chairman of that Committee will.make it cut that the principles of that report are correspondent with those of his written opinion on our riuht to tax traders, I cannot ima gine. How changed and altered are men and things from what they were in the days of our fathers. Then they were told they had rights, and treaties were entered into with them, to secure and protect thorn, in the en joyment of those rights. "But now, ' since we have improved our condition, and are truly sensible of our rights, and insist upon the faithful maintain anse of thoso treaty stipulations mule in good faith, why, wo are frankly .told that Hit) United Slates never had anv right to enter into treaty with our nation; that we are the subjects of a sovereign state, and subject to be controlled by her will alone, with out any interference by General Government. This Sir, is the lan guage of our Great I* ather, to whom The Indians look up for justice and protection.

I shall oiler no comment upon the report, but from the limited knowledge 1 have ol these matters, 1 cannot say, that it is based upon the principles practised by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Mo: roe; or, that it is very able. What a deceptious course the Gov ernment has been pursuing towards us, these forty years, if, indeed, wo have no right as a distinct people, and that they had no right to treat with us even though Htmven witnessed their solemn promises, ami that the lands we now occupy, truly are the rightful property ol Georgia. When Congress shall have decided upon our righis, we shall be satisfied. Let her,in justice to the American people and the unfortunate aborigines, de clare to the world whether all the Treaties under her solemn ratifications 1 are worth no more than so much trou- j ble to deceive ignorance. She owes , it to herself and to the civilized world, j We have determined to remain upon our own soil, and pursue habits ot in- ! dustry and religious instruction. The j state laws, though extended, we can-j not acknowledge to be just; and the i time has at length arrived when it oocomes necessary fur the United! States Government to decide our fate, ; and say whether we shall sink in ruin ; anil degradation by such U iule3 as ! civilization teaches." j ANTI-SLAY EllY. At a meeting of friends.to the aboli tion of negro slavery, held in Leeds, [Eng.] on Monday, Sept. 28, 1529, John Clapham Esq. in tbo chair; It was unanitnouly Resolved. That slavery is an evil of fearful magnitude, directly opposed to the well being *nd happiness of man, the law of God, and the religion of Christ; the existence of which especially in any part of the British dominions, we, as Christian do most seriously deplore, and the entire extinction of which we feci ourselves called upon most stienuously to seek and promote, by all those means which the providence of God, f'nd the laws and constitution uf our own fa vored & happy country, have put info our power. That to us it does appear, that the various religous denominations ot* this country, with perhaps one exception, have not yet applied themselves to (he destruction of this great evil, in that determined manner, and the magnitude of the evil itself, and of the powers banded togeherfor its continuance,ob viously & most imperatively demands', That, for the most part, the ques tion of negro slavery has been ap proached as a political one, and assail ed by arguments drawn from policy and mer<j expediency, and not opposed with those stronger and less equivocal principles c:u3 r Tgti fiirii; 5 AY I) ii' 11 Ore j to he derived from the word of God, ! and the supreme and immutable laws el revealed religion. That, too long have we, in common I with the friends of humanity aroundi us, wasted our time andefiortsin vain attempts to ameliorate the condition of our fellow creatures who are in bondage, with a view to their gradual emancipation; but deeply feeling, tlwt to maintain such a system, under any modifications whatever, is to oppose and counteract the spirit and princi ples of oar holy religion, we pledge ourselves henceforth to seek in every Jegimate and practicable way, and by 1 our united and strenuous exertions, its immediate and entire destruction, and to remove from ourselves, and our be ! lovod country, the guilt of fostering this flagrant injustice, or even permit ' ting its contiiTU inee, for any period, j however limited, beyond the time, that irtay be absolutely requisite to nass the act for its Complete abolition, I and to frame <§• apply those provision -lal regulations and restraints, which ! shall establish the authority of law in the British colonies; | That, while we unequivocally maintain the right of tho slaves to the full participation of freedom, without 1 any compensation on tlieii* parts to the I persons who hold them in bondage, we have no wish to prejudice those . claims which (he planters may have upon the government of our country to a fair and equitable indemnification [against such losses as may bp neces sarily consequent upon the change of ! system; and we declare our readiness to boar our full proportion of the bur dens which t';e lesislntu-re, in its wis dom, may find it requisite to' impose,# for the accoinjdismhent of this great 1 measure - • That a society be now formed, to consist oi Protestant dissening minis ters, and the members of their re •ongregations, whose object shall be the immediate and total abolition of slaveiy, and that it be called "The Yorkshire Protestant Disenters'"As sociation for the Abolition of slavery. That a committee be formed, to consist of tiie minister and two or more members of each Protestant dis senliing congregation in the county, which shall unite itself with this ; sso- j ciation.
