could elect him by our vote, we should
think of securing the triumph of those
great fundamental doctrines of the republican

because it would be giving a solemn sanction
to principles that we deem necessary

It is indeed the true fire of the flint.
We bog you especially to read tne arucie

is beautiful in his poetry. With him, wc
think we have much to do. There is 110
cause for despondency, but every thing to

Mr. Van Buren .is indeed beaten; but in
the midst of his defeat, ho hears himself
with the equanimity of the sage and the
courage of the hero. "I took tea (says
an intimate friend) with the President last
evening, lie acknowledges himself defeated;
but he hears it like a hero who has
fallen in his country's cause." . And well
may he bear it with philosophy and dignity.

of regret, lie retires with the approbation
of his own conscience, and amid
the applauses of all impartial men. History
has a rich recompense for him, and

PROSPECTS OF A GENERAL WAR.
To Louis Philippe, King of the French.
May it please your Majesty?Among
the political parties existing in Great Britain,
there is one the members of which
appear to entertain a favorable opinion cf
your Majesty's character and understanding.
They persuade themselves, and per haps
with reasonr that you sincerely desire
peace, not simply because it is necessary
to ensure the stability of your throne,
but from a respect for human life, and a
natural, deep*rooted, and growing aversion
for strife and bloodshed. To confirm
this conviction, however, it is necessary
that you discard from your councils and
confidence a minister who seems to comprehend
neither what is due to others nor
to himself. That minister is M. Thiers.
After havin<r. bv a fortune at combination of
C" - 0
circumstances, acquired the credit of being
a shrewd and able statesman, thoroughly
conversant with the tempers and interests
of the various powers of Europe, lie
has, by bis reply to Lord Palmerston,
forfeited all claim to so respectable a
character, since i:i that document he degenerates
into a mere political sophist, insolently
confident in his own powers of
misrepresentation, and resolved to accomplish
by vaii*and frivolous abuse of terms
what he is unable to effect by sound reasoning
and a frank and candid statement
of the truth. Being incapable of explaining
away the f.icls related by the British
minister, RI. Thiers ventures to contradict
them, not, be it remarked, on his
own knowledge, but upon the testimony
of a third person, and because he has
failed to find in the archives of his bureau.
documents supporting the statement of
Lord Palmcrsion. It will at once be evident
to your Majesty that this is a very
lame attempt a: escaping from a dlctnmai.
Lord Palmersloti, who has himself conducted
the dip!oma;ic business of his country
during the whole of the period referred
to, makes certain affirmations on his
own knowledge, his character and honor
being pledged for the truth of what he
states. INI. Tillers, from having engaged
late in the transaction, has no personal
concio-.isness to oppose to thai of his lordship,
but searches his bureau, and has
recourse to the recollections of General
Scbasliani, on the strength of which he
gives the British minister's memorial a
flat contradiction. But this nut enough.
To accomplish his purpose. M. Thiers
must not only make u certain statement,
but must prevail upon the nations of
Europe to yield belief to that statement.
Now it is certain that lie has done this, or
even approached the proper way of doing
it, for he neither affirms, nor dares to affirm,
that iii lite French archives there exist
no documents confirmatory of the statement
of Lord Palmcrston; he only says,
that during a search, neither very strict
nor very preserving, lie could find no such
papers. But would a hurried and scrambling
investigation like this have seemed
sufficient warrant to any one deserving the
name of a statesman to put forward a formal
contradiction of an English minister's
testimony? M. Thiol's is deceived if he
imagine that either his own reputation or
that of Gen. Sebastiani is so high in Europe,
as, a mere ipse dixit, to neutralise
the dice of a British nobleman's solemn
affirmation* The world is too. well acquainted
with the school in which both
those gentlemen hare been bred, to give
much credit ho anything they may say.
unb'-'S their testimony he probable in itself,
and corroborated by circumstances; and in
the present case b ?th circumstances and
probabilities range themselves on the side
of Lord palmerston, leaving your Majesty's
servants in a most uncomfortable and
suspicious position. Again, there is another
circumstance which goes to undermind
the credibility of M. Thiers; his
interpretation, I mean, of what is signified
by the integrity of the Ottoman Umpire,*'
which, according to him, means
en. The chiefs listened with their cusmary
silence and decorum to a long
>eech, setting forth the advantages that
ould accrue to them from this measure,
id when he had concluded, begged the
itmval of a day to deliberate on U.
On the following day, a solemn convoition
was held, at which one of their
tiefs addressed tin- Governor in the name

nothing in the tvorhl hut the absence of m
Russian protection. Before this notable to
explanation of the phrase had been given, sf
it would doubtless have appeared impos- w
aiblo to find a respectable politician in Eu- iai
rope hardy enough to couple so contemp- r in
tiblc a piece of sophistry with his name.!
If. may be distasteful and dishonorable to j c;
the Sultan to owe the possession of hisicl
throne to the employment of Russian ol
bayonets; 4nit so long, ashy any instru- "
j mentality whatsoever, he maintains the ti
: sway over the whole of his ancestral do- tr
! minions, it will be acknowledged by all in
men of sober understanding that the in- e
tegrity of his empire is preserved. M. (1
Thiers, however, has framed a novel idea o
of integrity, which he believes to be per- rr
fectly compatible with the separation and y
loss of all the intrcgal parts* According si
to these views, your Majesty will still pre- t;
serve your throne and kingdom in nil their fi
integrity though England should claim tl
: and recover possession of her ancient ti
j provinces of Normandv, Picardy. Guien- h

Initios, anything or nothing according to ]
| circumstances so that Turkey is as entire h
and complete now as before Greece asser- y
led its independence, or Mohamad Ali
robbed it of Egypt, or your Majesty of j tl

because it appears to be lost sight of, that fi
France has long since commenced the (lis- tl

simply by favoring the ambition of rebel a
pashas, but by apportioning to itself a s
large portion of the Turkish territories, y
'Such Being the state of the case, your d

! gate act of aggression. And such an act |>
on the part of France' though it might f
'excite deep disgust and resentment, a
would surprise no one, since duplicity "
and bad taiih have long been the dislin- <1
gulshing characteristics of her policy. I h
will venture, however, as a British subject,
to remind your Majesty there is ac- r
tually stii! in existence such a thing as a I1
British fleet, and that the hulls of Admi- t
ral Ilugon's ships are not impenetrable to t
British balls. The probability, accor- r
dingly is, that should your minister veil- a
ture upon this most insolent, wicked, and a
disgraceful step, a British force would be h
sent to fire your fleet in the harbour of n
Kancn, and thus inflict signal chastise- k
incut upon France in the sight of those b
; very people who witnessed her infrac- t
. tions of the law of nations. Be this as it v
I nny, let your Majesty be fully persuaded u
! of one thing, namely, that although

, llie peace of the world, she is still as able t1

punish in any nation whatsoever the slight- f
est attempt to invade her rights, or to (lis- b
pule her naval supremacy. It is not our a
practice, as your Majesty must be well a
aware, to boast and bluster and menace a
I our neighbours, but when just cause of t
: war is furnished us by others, we usually C
strike home, and our blows, as Trance t
can tell, arc long remembered. It is tbe t|
consciousness, indeed, of these truths v
; now rouses the irritability of your Majes- t
j tv's journalists, and stings them inio some- 11
thing very much resembling madness.? v
Hut if he be "thrice armed who hath his v
quarrel just," England has good reason to v
be confident at the present crisis, since it '
is supported not only by the conscious- v
ness of unrivalled strength, but by the i
certainty that in putting fourth that h
strength it will only be asserting the t
cause of justice, humanity, and good p
faith. Such are the views and sentiments t
of every true-born Englishman, as your r

A SEMINOLE TRADITION. [
BY WASHINGTON IRVING e
When the Floridas were erected into a )
territory of the United States, one of the ]
earliest cares of the Governor. William v
P. Duval, was directed to the instruction
and civilization of the natives. For this

in which he informed thonj of the wish of (J
their Great Father at Washington, that c
they should have schools and teachers c
among them, and that their children should
be instructed like the children of white

we have been thinking over the proposion
of our Grout Father at Washington,
) send teachers and sot tip schools among
s. We arp very thankful for the interst
he lakes in our welfare; but after much
('liberation, have concluded to decline his
fier.?What will do very weil for white
len, will not do for red men. I know
ou white men say we all come from the
ame father an ! mother, but you are mis1
ke. * We have a tradition handed down
out our forefathers, ami we believe it,
lat the Great Spirit, when he undertook
) make turn, made the black man, it was
is first attempt, and pretty well for a beinning:
but lie soon saw ?hat he bungled;
r> he determined o try his hand again,
le did so, and he made the red man. lie
ked him much better than the black man,
lit still lie was not exactly what he wan[!tl.
So he tried once more, and made
fie white man?and then he was satisfied.
t ... .1 f ,U..? ?n? ,vnr? mndf?
[Oil see, inereiure, mat juu
ist, oiul that is the reason I call you my
onngcst brother.
When t!te Great Spirit had made the
iiree men. he called them logether and
bowed them three boxes. The first was
lied with books, and maps, and papers;
tie second with hows and arrows, knives
ml tomahawks; the third, with spades,
xcs, hues, and hammers. "These, my
ons," said he, "are the means by which
ou are to live; chose among tliern accoring
10 your f.iiirv.*'
The white man being (he favorite, head
lie first choice, lie passed by the box of
forking -tools, without notice; but when
e came to the weapons for war and liunln<r_
he stunned and looked hard at them.
The red man trembled, fur lie had set his
yc upon that box. The white man, howvcr,
aficr looking upon it for a moment,
assed on, and chose the box of hooks and
lapers. The red man's turn ramc ilex',
nd you mnv be sure he seized with joy
ipon the bows and arrows and tomahawks.
Ls to the black man, he had no choice
pft, but to put up with the box of tools.
From this it is clear that the Groat Spiit
intended the white man should learn
o read and write; to understand all about
he moon and stars; and to make every
hing, even rum and whiskey. That the
cd man should be a first rate burner, and
miglitv warrior, but he was not to learn
ny thing from books, as the Great Spirit
ad not given him any; nor was he to
nakc rum and whiskey, lest he should
ill himself with drinking. As to the
Jack man. as ho had nothing but working
ools, it was clear he.was to work for the
rhile and red man, which he has contihed
to do.
We must go according to the wishes of
n ~
he Great Spirit, or we shall get into
rouble. To know how to read and write
s very good for white men, fiut very bad
or red nun. It makes white men belter,
ut red men worse. Some of the Creeks
ml Chcrokeos learnt to read and write,
nd they are the greatest rascals among
II lite Indians. They went to Washingmi
ami said they were going to see their
Jreat Father, to talk about the good of
lie nation. And when they got there,
[ley all wrote upon a litile piece of paper,
mho lit the nation at home knowing any
liing about it. And the first thing the
lation at home know of the matter, they
rcrc called together by I he Indian agent,
I'lio showed them a little piece of paper,
I'hicli he told them was a treaty, which
heir brothers had made in their names,
villi their Great Father at Washington,
tnd as they knew not, what a treaty was,
le held up the little piece of paper, and
bey looked under it, and lo! it covered a
;rcal extent of country, and they found
hat their brethren, by knowing how to
end and write, had sold their houses, and
heir lands, and the graves of their faher.-;
and that the white man, by knowng
how to read and write, had gained
hem. Tell our Great Father at Washnylon,
therefore, that we are very sorry
hat ue cannot receive teachers among
is; for reading anil writing though very
rood for white men, is very bad for In
liana.
Eating.?Every animal f ats as msich
s it can procure, and as much a* it can
told. A cow ca:s but to sleep, and sleeps
nit to cut; and nut content with eating all
lay long, "twice it slays the slain," and
ats its dinners o'er again. A whale swalows
10,000,000 of living shrimps at a
Iraught; a nursling canary bird eats its
>wti bulk in a day, and a caterpillar eats
>00 limes its own weight before it lies
lown to rise a butterfly. The mite and
naggot eat the very world in which they
1 ve; they nestle and build in the roast
icef, and the hyena, for want of better,
iuts himself. Yet the maggot has not the
rout, and the whale is not subject to sciatica.
And the Esquimaux, though he
ats le.ii pounds ul seal, and drinks a galoii
of oil at a tneyl and though his meal
asts as long his meat, is neither troubled
vith dyspepsia, toothache, or hysterics.

heard this matter'spokon of before in private circles,and
many reasons urged why the change should bomade,
most of which, as well those mentioned inprivate,
as those given in the Patriot, arc to say tho

We have not leisure at this time, to notice there
1 reasons, but shall on some other occasion give our
readers the benefit of them.

i with a mild season. The mornings are
i cold, but we have had most delightful days
j of warm sunshine; such as our fair sunny
clime is so justly celebrated for. Bright

i BIBLEj CONVENTION.
I Those who are familiar with the histo- J
| ry<)f ihc.distribution of the Bible ip South ^
I Carolina, remember that in December,
1830, a convention composed of
Hates from our different local DiVib Socie-v
ties, Was heldjat Columbia, y,'nich resuk
ted, it is believed, in the aobsequent siip?.
nlv'nf almosi'every p*rt of the State, with.
I~ J t ? - ,
topics of the word of God.
It' is apprehended, however, that lh?
changes so often taking place in onr population,
together with other causes, render
it necessary that the same laudable ob
'ect should again be. undertaken. Accordingly.
another convention was proposed
to be held at the sam.0 place in December,
J837, which, from untoward circumstan-.
ces, failed of effect.
As there is ground for apprehending
that the need for continued aud active exertions
in this great and good cause, is
scarcely in any degree diminished, the
Ilible Society of Charleston respectfully,
invites all kindred societies throughout
lie State, and the friends of the objeot
