The same prejudices which were indulged thus early, exist in common circulation at the present day. Certain loarncd societies, it is true, have endeavored, with laudable diligence to Investigate and record the raal characters and mauncrs of the Indian tribes. The American Government, too, haa wisele and humanely exerted itself to inculcate • friendly and forbearing spirit towards them, and to protect them from fowl and injustice. The current opinion «f the Indian character. however, it too apt to be formed from the miserable hordes which infest the frontiers and hang on the skirts of the settlements.— These are too commonly composed of degenerate beings, corrupted and enfeebled by the vices of society, without being benefitted by its civilization. That proud independence which formed the main pillar of savage viitue has been shaken down, and the whole moral fabric lies iu ruins. Their spirits arc iiuinilis toil and debased by a sense of inferiority, and their native courage cowed and daunted by the superior knowledge and power of their enlightened neighbors. Society lies advanced upon them like one of those withering airs that will some imes breathe desolation over a whole region 6i fertility. It has eaervntod their strength, n ultiplied their diseases, and superinduced upon their original barbarity the low view of artificial life. It has given them a thousand superfluous wants, while it has diminished their means of existence. It has driven bofore it the animals of the chnse, which fly from the sound of the axe and the smoke of the nettleuient, and seek refuge in the depths of the remoter forests and yet untrodden wilds. Ttfu* do we often find the Indiuns on our frontiers to be the mere wrecks and remnants of once powerful tribes, who have lingered in the vieiuity of settlements, and sunk into precarious and vagabond existence. Poverty, degrading and hopeless poverty, a cankerot the mind, unknown in savage life, corrodes their spirits, and blights every free and noble quality of their natures. They become drunken, iudoleut, feeble and thievish. They loiter, like vagrants, abont the settlements, among spacious dwellings replete with elaborate comforts, which only render theui sensible of the couD]Darative wretchedness of tlicir own condition. Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes; but they are excluded from the banquet, l'lenty revels over the field ; but they uro starving in the midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden; but they feel as reptiles that infest it. $uaiitcss Curbs. business d/ar&s.

Both parasol ad umbrella, prosaic u the* appear w their daily attributes, have each their romantic and ltpndrj annals. During Mm last iniurrection £ favor of Dob Carlo#, an attack was made upon the auramer. palace of the Marqttis de la 8——, who Waa a been t at the time, combatting in the Queen's cause in another part of the oountry. His daughter the widdowed Countess F , waa alone with the servants in thechateau. At the first onset she assembled all the men capable of defending her father's property, ana having barricaded doors and windows, prepared for the attack, the defenders were soon compelled, for,want of anunnuition to surrender. Driven from room to room in search of a fitting place of concealment from the invaders the poor voung countess at last took refuge in a small closet which hod been for many years used as a lumber room, and where she hoped to remain undisoovored while the pillage of the house was going on. But the search, eonducted with the sole view of capturing the beautiful young heiress, could scarcely fail to to prove successful, and she was soon tracked to her hiding place, amid the brutal threats and the still more frightful jests of the assail' ants. For a moment the poor lady stood, defended by the pile of trunks and lumber behind which she had crept. But this fragile barrier could not be available for morothan a few nun* utes longer. In her despair she looked around for some weapon of defence, by which sha should be enabled to keep off the attack, Utatil she could reach the window resolving at one* to perish rather than fall into the hands of that lawless band of ruffians. Iler eyes fell upon an old, cast off umbrella belonging to her father, which all dusty and moth-eaten, had perhaps been standing for years against the wall, in the place where she now beheld it. She seized it in triumph, and rushed to the window, just an the fiercest of her pursuers hail succeeded in forcing the frail barrier which stood before her. He laughed in derision as she raised the old umbrella at his approach; but nevertheless, the surprise occasioned by the movemont caused him to draw back In an instant the Couutess had sprung upon ths sill of the open window, and before he had recovered self-pouession enough to grasp her garments sue had disappeared through the easement. A cry of horror burst from the group of brigands rushed to tho window fully expecting to behold tho fair form of one Countess, dashed to pek.-cs on the pavement of tho court yard. But the old umbrella, which she still held in a firm grasp had savod her from death and dishonor. It had opened in her dodescent, and oaiching tho breze as she felj, wm bearing her gently to the ground, where she alighted unharmed, and reaching tha gate before her pursuers had even thought of descending the stairs, found a refuge at tho oottage of one of the peasants on the es-D tatfl.

Mis views upon the subject are £iren at length in the Ob tend Keport, over lus own signature. That lie port 1 did not approve, because of the qualifications which it contained. The situation of things in the premises, at home and abroad, was Mich that 1 thought an unqualified recommendation for the acquisition of Cuba was imperatively demanded, whether that recoup ■Herniation should be acted upon at Washington or not. That situation, b Dth at home and abroad, has been constantly growing worse. A nation's perpetuity was involved, as the sequel will show, in the pinciple of "purchase or seizure." Under such circumstances, a nation's duty was just as palpable as it would bo to repel o foreign inv&der of its territory. Enlightened men every where would have so considered it. We rebelled against our pareut —-justly, nobly rebelled—and took from her the sovereignty and wealth of thirteen colon' ies.

ROBERT RAU it, Such were the Indians, while in the pride and energy of their primitive natures, Thoy resemble Uiom wild plants which thrive best in the shades of the forest, but shrink from the tuind of cultivation, and perish beneath the influenco of the sun. In discussing the savage character of tha Indian, writers have bcon prone to indulge in vulgar prejudice and passionate exaggeration instead of the candid tenaoerof true pbilowv phy. They liave not guttciently considered the peculiar circumstances in whichi-the Indians have been placed, and the peculiar principles under which thoy have been educated. No being acts more rigidly front ruls than the Indian. Ilis wliole conduct is regulated according to some general maxims early implanted in his mind. The moral laws that govern him, are, to be sure, but few; but then he conforms to tbeui nil: the white man abounds in laws of religion, morals and maw* ners; but how many do«e he violate T A frequent ground of accusation against the Indians, is their disregard of treaties, and the treachery and wantonness with which, hi time of appurcnt peace, they will suddenly fly to hostilities. Tb« intercourse of the whit* men with the Indians, however, is too apt to bo cold, distrustful, oppressive and insulting. They seldom treat them with that confidence and frankness which arc indispensable to real friendship; nor is sufficient cuutionobserved not to offend aguiust those feelings of pride or superstition, which oftou prompt the Indian to nostility quicker than mere considerations of interest.

Augusta, Iy#  The solitary savage feels silently but acutely, His sensibilities are not diffused over so wide a surface as thuae af tlie white man; but they run in steadier and deep«r channels.— His pride, his affections, his superstitions, are all directed towards fewer objects; but the wounds inflicted on them aro proportionately severe, and furnish mot".ves of hostility which we not sufficiently appreciate. Where a commuurty is also limitod in number, and forms one groat patriarchal family, as in an Indian tribe, the injury of an individual is the injury of the whole; and the sentiment of vengeance if almost instantaneously diffused. One council Ore is sufficient for the discussion and arrangement of a plan of hostilities. Here all the fighting men and sages assemble.

That this country arose when and where it was promised. at the end of 1,290 prophetic days from the destruction of Jerusaklu, which period terminated on the 4th of July, 1776. lie said that the land pictured in the prophecy of Daniel, was to be inhabited by a people gathered out of all natiunn ; that it was to be located between two seas—the Eastern and Western—that its citims and villages should have neither waits nor gates, nor bars, and that it waa to be tnt visited by the ships of Spain ; that emigration should oome for th« freedom of worshiping God, and that it was to be a Republic, awl that this Republic should be an epoch in the history of humanity, to learning, oommeraa, s*d trade !

There seems.but little soil in his heart for the growth of the kindly virtues; and yet, if we would but take the trouble to ponetrato through that proud stoicism and habitual tactiturnity which lock up his character from casual observation, we should tnd him linked to bis fellow-man of civilised life by more of those sympathies and affections than are usually ascrihed to him. It was the lot of the unfortunate aborogincs of Amcrica, in tho eafly periods of colonisation to bo doubly wrougod by the white men. They have been dispossessed uf their hereditary possessions by mercenary and frequently wanton warfare; and their characters have been traduced by bigotted writers. The colonist has often treated them like beasts of the forest; and tta author has endeavored to justify him In Wb outrages. The former found it easier to exterminate than to civilize ; the latter, to Vilify than to discriminate. Tho appellations uf savage and jpagan were deemed suffioiout to sanction the hostilities of both ; and thus the poor wanderers of the forest were persecuted and defamed, not because they were guilty, but because t,hey were ignorant The rights of the savage have seldom been properly appreciated or respeoted by the white man. In peaoe, he ha*too often been the 4iqM of artful trafic; in war he has been regard** as a ferocious animal, whoa* life or death was a question of mere precaution or oorrvenienoe.
