AH IffDIAN REPUBLIC

We find tho fd'Jowing interestingiccolltit rJiiL Dakota CTjitltriuniiy, or rather regular Republic, ih the St. Paul Advertiur of the 13th insL Too Advertiser calls it "The Hazelwood Republic."

"Away up on tho head waters of the Min­nesota, some forty miles above Fort Ridge-loy, in a comer of tbo miserly strip of terri­tory of which tho usufruct was reserved to tho Dakotas—all that remains of them now of tho magnificent heritage t J which they were born—in the wildcrncss-homo of sev­en thousand shiftless s,.vages, the very Hades of Indian barUaiism, yet dim with ghostly songs and legends, the philosophers of France and the poots of European re­generation have been outstripped by the Dakota huntor and a veritable Republic, organized, representative, free, with a writ­ten Constitution and a code of laws, has been established on the bartks of tho Yel­low Medicine.

A community of Dakota Indians includ­ing some 25 families, renouncing the tribal system, the habits, the superstitions aad the costume of their race, leaping at a sin­gle vault across centuries of barbarism, have adopted at onco, by unanimous consent tho customs, the dress, and at least the el­ementary ideas of civilized socktv.

Tho trail.tioual principle of tho commu nity of property has been abandoned—the whole tribal fabric dissolved ani society re­constructed on the basis of justice to the individual, and its relations adjusted ou the principle of indivit'ual responsibility. For this new order of things a methodic 1 or­ganization litis been effected, in which all ma'c adults arc represented and in which all participate. A President and Secreta­ry were regularly elected. A ConstituL'on and Code of By Litws were written, and the rights of propci ; recognized and defin­ed. This is an abrupt transition ccrtainlv and presents the phenomena not of growth but of transformation.

One finds the savago hunter ©f a year since, dressed to day in the costume of tho white man—the hair cut short and the paint nnd ornamt nt discard* d—Irrfag in neat houses of the s^nink? but comfortable architecture nsuaj in frontier settlements., with an encWxl field dttamr or ive noes around him t ilott wijh tue instruments of modern It's ?•;«).by. The Indian woman recused fiots the despotism of tribal pre scnpti"n is m> linger a b'-ast of burden, but attends to the gentler duti -s of ik. hmsehold, while tlic LkU-'iand accepts with pride the; toil his r«cent pride disdained .

The interior of these 1 tt e houses, usur.l ly built of logs, reminds one or the simple aa*l innocent .-ottagc life of tho exiled Ac-atlians. Tile rudfc furniture, fashioned by their uneducated skill, is in everything an imitation of civilization. Tho idea of com­fort precedes the idea of elegance in the growth of mind, Mid ordinary comforts arc s i l t novelties in Indian life, to which the sentiment oi property, itself ;> novoItv^»*'es a new charm. The rougli ltciie)« or ohair, tho bed or bunk curt/o»ed with musksto gauze, the iron sto't;, tho various utensils of cookerv. <n0 set of bible ware upon the high, clean shelf, tlue lock and trunk, the suspended picture, the- welL filled lorder,and the cultivatedl gardens cuiside, inclosed) with n?at feuc's, all attest the gradual dc-Veolpement of the principte? of ac<piisition, and the lenunciation of tho lazy doctrines of community. To one familiar with tho bleak, comfortless, entirely animal life and reckless improvidence of tho Dakotas, this implc domestic picture, sketched on that

harsh to*1^ desolatebackground,appeals with tho force of <ii J? noatic contrast—while it has for the student the iut**Z o f a n P W P h a , J e

of historical devclopemerr of V^hich the conditions are new, and tho caused not ap j

parent.

And what power wrought this radical revolution in the midst of the Dakotas ?— Was it the spontaneous developeincnt of a latent tendency accelerated by the exigen­cies of the new mode of life forced on them

by the policy of (he 0 wernment? Was it tne renex; innucneo i !5 i ne civilization which surrounds them ? P.'i baps that these had the effect of suggestions or of arguments.— But the Hazelwood Republic, was the fruit in fact, of long years of thankless toil and of heroic self sacrifice—the tardy result of the despised laboi^i of the Dakota Mission­aries. Two excellent men, tho Rev. Dr.

people in their new moda of life may bo inferred from the fact that Major Flandrau the agent for the Sioux, to whom we are indebted for the principal details of the above narrative, recently bought 400 bush­els of poUt oca and 600 bushels of corn from them.

The Major informs us that their accounts against the Government are usually attest­ed by vouchers in their own handwriting. It is his design to encoarage by every pos­sible means this forward movement among the Sioux. No portion of the school fund provided by the Treaty had been appropri­ated until a small portion of tho sum due, $4,000 in all was received by him. A part of this was judiciously expended in the es­tablishment of a Dakota school in the Re­public, taught for the present by a native Indian.

At the Red Wood rgencv, »o should not forget to mention, a similiar settlement oflndiaus has been commenced, and now numbers some eleven or twelve families.— We shall watch with deep intares* the pro­gress of the Hazelwood Republic.

PHO TOORAPHIC CouNTERrEiTiNG.-Bank-

notes counterfeited by the photographic process, are multiplying fast, and the daily increase of their circulatiou has become an alarming evil. It is an important qnestion — Who photographs our Bank notes?— That they arc photographed by adopts in this new art, is evident from the skill with which they are executed; and though the photographed note carries no mark or sign which shall designate its manufacture, it cannot be supposed that ordinary rascal* possess artifctic skill sufficient to produce this new and roost dangerous species of cur-rencv.

NO. 1.

I commence with the subj. ct Philosophy, not that I may afflict myself, and of course others, with ingeniously wrought up fan­cies, vain speculations, and endless supixwi-tion—often ;ounded on quick sands or air-built castles that no reason can ever grasp. So. Every work that shows a thinking up­on thought, mind dwelling upon mind, in­tellect i/aiting on intellect, thought oner-gieing its energies, life infusing life and or der producing order, *uch work, and such only, can philosophy regard with favor.

Philosophy—Heaven given searcher af­ter and into truth—looks far beyond the acquisition of tho taero memory mon­ger, the knowledge of books, and the hoard of fart*, nnd peroeires. with an intuition that demonstrates tho continuance of that Imago i Likeness that his Divine Former stamped upon man's intellect in his primal state—Principles standing in arrav, touch­ing every work of God ; immutiblo as their 'ufinite ordainer, and firm and inflexible as his truth.

If we take but a birds-eye view of the light i eading flung broadcast into tho Eu­ropean a t d Ame: ic*n pu: lie—woras (i. they deserve the name) got up without tho expense of thought—valueless as to truth-— their influence upon the mind dcbiltiating and pernicous. Philosophy—following out her divino mission—seeks through their barren pages in a vain effort to find the truth, and, rejecting their sickly sehtimen-talisra, she avers to the world. " It is bet­ter to be without opinions than to have such as aro superlatively untrue and prac­tically corruptive.''

The photographic art has not yet been But right or wrong, every person of corn-able to reproduce, practically, any color but mon sense must think, and each will phil-black. Therefore tho protection necessary osophizo as he thinks, and from this source at present, t<t guard our Bank notes against I as fertile in L.ms, i s the land of Ham was

in olden times of frogs, has both christian . fty and philosophy suffered.

Yet even these may have had their use by preparing in general for a display of a powerfrl, easy, and successful energy of mind in whatever depar ment of knowl edge it may more particularly apply the force of its intellection.

If I might be allowed to judge of Amer­ican fchollars'yy by their works, taken as a who'c, I sbottTd" say, that want of supeti or, even severe mental disipline is greatlv apparent, especially in the field of erudi­tion, of preference, cultivated by American authors.

I am not; bout to blame the Titled from our Colleges and Seminaries for their neg­lecting to bring to their aid, in their eluci

this cuuni.ig skill of tho photo<jraphist, is the introduction of other colors, wi.h tho bhick carbon ink, in which the notes are originally printed. It is true that tho pho­tographic counterfeiter, awaro of this fact, in order to conceal his roguery, sometimes attempts to print these colors o er the cmnterteit mprossiwtr which he has pro­duced. But, if this impression be closely examined, it will generally prove quite in­sufficient to conceal the counterfeit present­ment.

As a general rulo, people who are una-

bit* to judge whether tho soiled and ragged bank note which fallint . their hands, is a genuine or a counterfeit note, will be safe in rejecting it, if it is priuted only in bl:ick. If it has the denomination printed clearly

in red on tho opposite sides, or if it has a Nations of science, the powerful voice of tinted face, nicely executed, the probability ( Philosophy.

The Case of Senator Harlan. The United Steles Senate on Monday

ousted Mr. Harlan from the seat to w ich he was indisputably elected by a clear ma­jority of the Legislature of Iowa.

vYe regret this less, says the Tribune, on accotiit of Mr. Harlan-who will be prompt­ly re-elected by a largely increased majori­ty—than because of the p,'°mium to faction ahd anarchy which it holds out In tho present case, the two branches of the la?t T^cUitnro of Towa agreed in m~>t in joint Ballot for tho choice of a U. S. Sonator.— They did so meet, and, after ineffectually balloting, adjourned to a futui? J a y . But meantime the Democratic Senate discovered that, should the adjourned joint meeting be held, a Whig U. S.

A quorum of the House and a minority of the Senate nevertheless attended the adjourned joint meeting and Mr Harlan was thereiu. elected, receiving the votes of a clear majority of the whole Leg­islature, and waa commirsioned accordingly. Such are the circuitstaaces of an election which tho United States Senate has just, by an essentially partisan- vo*,. pronounced invalid, thus irMdsta; a majority of one House in a Legislature, vhen overbalanced in joint meeting, to try the dangerous re­sort of breakiug up.a jeint ballot.

John Winchell, of Olive, died on New Year's Day, in tho apparent full possession of health and manly vigor. On the day before mentioned, a son of his, while walk­ing in the vicinity of his home, in a wood, saw a wild cat in tho limbs of a tree. On making the discovery be called his father and brother to come where he was. They immediately mad* for the spot, and were traveling rapidly, when the father complain­ed to the son of a feeling of faintnest, which was foliowc.J by his reeling and fall­ing to the ground. He died almost as soon as he fell. The age of the deceased

| was about 55.—Rov'dout Courier,

k Contrast in l i ich i fan—Chandler a n d CM*-

On the north side of Fort street, in the ancient city of Detroit, stand two old wood­en houses. These houses stand cheek by jo?.l—so near, that in a shower, the eaves from the one, almost shed rain upon the garden of the other. Neither of these houses is worth tho trouble of movinor,—

o One of them is about the eoltr (f a super, anuated negro, and the other is white.— Tho threshholds of both aro pressed by the politicians and active men of tho two great | dividing parties of the State. Tho doors of both are hospitably open to calls of that character, One of these, then, is old, short and pussy; tho other is tall, slender, and in the prime of life. Both aro rich, but one of them has become so by the rise of property, and by the steady and abundant stream which has flowed into his coffers from the treasury of the General Govern­ment foi more than fifty years. Tho other ha; amas ed wealth by private enterprise, during a period of time less than one half of that in which his neighbor has been a pampered pot of Government. Both are natives of the State of New Hampshire, and both left that State, upon coming to years of manhood, and sought a home in Detroit. Tho public halls and depart­ments of tho country have been worn by the feet of one of these men for half a cen­tury. He has filled offices, both civil and military, both Executive, Administrative, Diplomatic and Legislative, and he has •ought higher offices than those which he has obtained. The other now, for the first time, fills an important public office.

The contrast in respect to age, personal appearance, and history, between these two men, is not more remarkable than that of their personal i haracter, and their political opinions are equally opposed. While the one has steadily resisted the popular will of his constituents, and has blinded himself wilfully, thereto, tho other has assiduously courted that opinion, and has studied and exerted himself to increase and disseminate those views, and to identify himself, as f;ir as possible, with tbeir advocacy.

In one of these two houses lives the el­der of theso two gentleman, a Senator of the United States from Michigan, and a future Senator, the successor of the former, occupies the other.

Neither of tho gentlemen Is the unani­mous first choico of all the People, though both hare a^trong and numerous band of friends aiid suppDrters.

The gentleman who has just received the Republican nomination, as the successor of his elder neighbor, was not the choico of the Advertiser, but as between the two, he is not only our choice, but that of four-fifth. of the men, women and children of this State, not because we have hope of coun­tenance, influence, advancement, or other benefit at his hands, but because we have hope of countenance that having teken his seat, and his oath, he will so conduct him­self, that neither by vote, influence or act, he shall defy tho just and humano senti­ments, and tho sound and philanthropic opinions, the defiance of which, and his contumacious refusal to regard the instruct­ing voice of the Legislature of his own State has consigned tho other to private life, un­der circumstances of great personal humil­iation.—Detroit Advertiser.

HISTORY- i

A TRCB LADT.—A few days ago we were

passing along one of oar busy streets, when on the opposite side of tho way, a female child of three or four summers was stand' ing OT the pavement, fearing to cross an alley, in which an ugly, snarling cur had placed himself, directly in tho path of the child. As wo approached the spot and was about to cross over to rescue tho lit­tle innocent from her peril, s splendidly at­tired lady took tho child by the arm, and carried her across the alley, out of tho reach of tho car, and then smilingly resumed her promenade. Wo thought we saw in this simple act, the token of good breeding, and real, heart-'elt benevolence. Many a so-called lady would have passed by, and let tho child shift for herse'ff but not so with the TRFTK LADT. She never allows an op­

portunity of doing a kindness, however small, to pass without performing the part dictated by humanity.— JSlmira Republi­can.

NODLB BEQUBSTS.—"M-iny a literary

home," says the London Athenaeum, "has be£2 brighter this Christmas tirno by the noble sympathy of John Kenyon, the poet, whoso death we recently announced. Tho poet was rich as he was g»nial. Scarce!' a man or woman distinguished in the world of letters with which he was familiar has passed unremombered in his will, and some poets and. child, en of poets aro endowed within princely mtruificenco, Among those who have shared most liberally in this harvest of good will wo aro happy to hear that Mr. and Mra. Browning receive £10,-000, Mr. Proctor (Barry Cornwall,) £0,000 and Dr. Southey a very handsome sum, we think £8,000. V o hoar that there are about 80 legatees, many of thorn the old literary friends of the deceased poet"

History supposses a development,^.* prograss. an onward movement of civiliza­tion, which, in its course, may exhibit a/1 the essential clemcpts of humanity. H« peculiar excellence is to take out and throw away all that is not essential, thus showing that it is the pcrogativo of the true only o subsist, and to prerpetuatc of isclf a list­ing memorial.

In this sen e history is tho transcrq#t of human nature, and historical analysis tho counter proof of human understat-ding, a epresontation on a great scale of the na­ture of man, for things scarcely noticed py consciousness of.cn appear on tho histori­an's page in glowing colors, eliciting, the deep attention of posterity.

Thus sacred history, although brief and defective in almost every point of viev^yct throws her light, venerabic in its obscunty»' back to a period that presents to our yieV tho cradle of humanity, and fablel and tra dition through all their realmes, referus to the same epoch, an age that both poetry *nd relig ion place at the beginning of flier history of humaniiy,a golden age, an Edcn r

a paradise, where man recieved from hi3

maker direct all life, light truth, which .di­vine ill umination soon beca me obscured, * finally corrupted by the imperfeetioos ot human science, and the spontaneity of hu­man reason, when the vivid and sacrcdf manif cstations were absorbed in the wan* dcrinrrs of finite reflections,

Here is shown to rrutn an epoch cf th« human race that exhibits one of the ele­ments of humanity to far devclcpcd as ti> display its active inherent jowcis, and the history enables us to trace its time and itff •accession,* this is the true end of history,!*-mark distinctly tho consecutive epochs of time m which some one of the elements of humanity displays all the powers that aro in it and and after giving to history its own full length likeness and type, to yield its place to rushing successor.

Thus histsry shows to us throughout tbo Oriental nation-, hnmanity under the des­potic c nlroll 01 the overbearing system of religion pervading each empire, where life, liberty, industry, arts, science, laws, all are subjected to its stern and jealous absulutism Yet even in theso sterile regions where darkness covers tho earth and gross dark­ness broods over tne people, ph ilosophy still claims even for her slavish casts, all the el­ements of humanity which, when time and progrers shall have developed, shall

bring forth the Cttpe stone to h?r resplen­dent temple in intellectual triumph shouting the no'.cs of tho conquest of mind, tho en­franchisement of reason. C.

THE DISCOVERER OP ZISC.—It was first

discovered in 1530, by no less a personago than Theophrastus Aur coins Bombastes Paracelsus, the wild fantastic hero of Brown-iugs celebrated d.a t.atic poem.' I t w»ll, perhaps, bo new to most people to be in­formed that the very word " bombast" took its original meaning in tho "great and swelling words of van ity-' uttered by thia singular crenius. With all tbo insano pro-tensions, there was true metal in Bombas­tes. Ho it was .vho gave tho death-blow to alchemy, and was tho first to show the utter hollowness of the then prevailing scholasticism, as respected physical investi-galioi s. Being appointed to tho first pro­fessorship of chemcslr", at Bale, in 1529 —tho earliest chair t f chemesty over eslhb> lished—he played such mad pranks, and kept up su'.h a storm in poor liitlo Bale, that the maaistrates had to banish him, from his chair. After undergoing many, alterations of fortune, it irks us to say that poor Bombastes, to parody a modern phrase wont on the zinc,'' and died miserably, in an obscure tavern in in Salisburry, in tho forty-eighth year of his age.—Engineer.

New England Unanimous.

After tho 4th of March New England will not have a Pro-slavery Congressman-The new Democratic policy has been the death of them all. TOUTJET lost his seat by his willingness to run after runaway, ne­groes—BRADBURY repealed himself with the Missouri Compromise—WELLS and' WILLIAMS sacrificsd themselves on the al­ter of friendship for PIERCE—EVERETT'S

absence from tho Nebraska vote has led to his absence ever since—JAMES has upheld the Administration to his own downfall— ALLEN, tho solo remaining Democrat from Now England, will owe his place if he keeps il, to his Free Soil sympathies and votes: while in tho other House every Rep­resentative from Maine, Now Hampshier, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, is a thorough going and un­compromising Republican.
