Miscellanies, (From the Western Star.) THE COUNTRY LAWYER. No. X. WILL new endeavour to canvass the proposed arrangement of the Supreme Judicial Gout. Solon does not inform us whether he means to abolish the present Courts of Common Pleas or not. I presume he does not ; for if he does, the addi- tion of two Judges, and making two circuits, will not answer the purpose. Canauy man in his sober senses suppose tha! seven men can possibly do all the Judicial business of thia Commonwealth, civil and criminal? Ido not believe that it is im the power of nine men to doit. If Solon does not mean to abolish the Courts of Pleas, then his ob- jections, as to expense, ure answered ; for it wiil increase the sum, which government have to pay in salaries, af only two are added, 7 or £800, and still keep up the old system at an unnecessary ex- pense of 60 or $70,000 annually. The revising Committee of which the late Chief Justice Cushing was Chairman, in virtue of an or- der of the General Court, made June 5, 1788, re- ported a Judicial System—That part of it, which arranged the Supreme JudicialCourt, is astoliows, to wit: “ That the Commonwealth be divided into three Districts, or Circuits; that the Supreme Ju- Court consist of nine Judges, any two of whom to make a quorum on the Circuit, that three of the Justices be assigned every six months for each circuit; that there be three terms annually in each of the middle counties, viz: Suffolk, Ee sex, Middlesex and Worcester, and two terms in each of the other counties, except Dukes County and Nantucket, where there shall be one Court iu each, to be holden fer both those counties at the same time ; that the Justices at each term in the severel counties have the same powers and Juris- diction that the Supreme Judicial Court now has in all matters civil and criminal, and iginal Jurisdiction by procuss immediately to that Court in all civil actions, except as hereafter mentioned, 8o that all acts respecting Courts of Common Pleas may be repealed. A Clerk of the Supreme Judi- cial Court is to be appointed for each county, to reside therein, aud for the ease of the people, Abe is of the Courts of Common Pleas be removed over to the new Clerks of the respective counties, and to be in their custody ; that two terms of the said Court, culled law terms, be held at annually, wherein not less than six of the said Justices shall make a quorum, for the purpose of determining difficult points of law, arising in the eircuite, on writs of error, certiorari, special verdicts, demur- ters, bills of exceptions, motions for new_ trials,- and causes continued for advisement, any of, which may be referred to the same terms, by order of the Justices in their several circuits; that Justices of the Peace, in each county, have the same jurisdic- tion in all civil causes under £4 value, wherein the title to real estate is not concerned, as they have heretofore had, with appeal immediately to the Su- preme Judicial Court.” Let us now see ‘‘if there are no well founded arguments mire the proposed arrangement of the Supreme Ju And whether it be So- jicial Court.”” lon’s arrangement of adding two, or that of the revising Committee of adding four more Justices to tie bench of that Sours, | the objections gb my mind are equally strong; the proposals are finger and thumb of the same hand, and are calculated to end in the same thing, an abolition of all inter- mediate juriediction between the Court of a single Justice of the Peace and the Supreme Judicial Court, and the estabiishment of a system tbat will bring the final decision of all causes to the town of ton. First. It is an objection to this plan, that so iong as ail the criminal businees is done in the same Court in which the civil business is to he settied, the suitors in civil actions will always be subject- ed to great inconveniences, for it will always be @ matter of uncertainty how much time of the term will be coneumed in getting through the criminal list: Every person concerned in our Courts well knows the propriety and even nevecsity of getting over the criminal business firat. Hence the suitors in the civil causes are obliged to wait, oitentimes at vast expense, with their witnesses, two or three days before a trial can be had ; aud these inconve- niences will increase asthe population of the coun- try, and of course the muluplication of criminals increase. At Hampshire, April term last, the larg- est part of the term was taken up in the cri- minal business, to the real damage of those, whos: civil business could not be compleied ; and tiis happens constantly at every term, in every coun- ty, where the Supreme Judiciai Court now sits. ly. As the salaries of the Judges are paid out of the Publick chest, there is no reason that the convenience of the thirteen distant counties should bend to that of the four middle ones—wh' should not the business of Hampehire, in whiel there are as map suits as in Worcester, stand on the same bottom’? Agcording to this arrangement, four Counties would have almost half as many terms as thirteen—But I do not. believe two terms in each could possibly be sufficient to transact the business of the thirteen Counties. Six terms have heen found none too many—there are now two terms of the Supreme Judicial Court at Hamp- shire, and more than forty eostinuances. What profit would they derive from such a systera? Why it four Judges were added, they would have to pay their proportion of the edditional salaries, would have many of them to go twice to Boston annually, to attend the law terms, and wouid not gain a shil- ling advantage by the different arrangement. Why should the course of justice as to_promptitude be different in different parts of the Commonwealth? The term of the duration of a lawsuit, in the thir- teen distant counties, would be a third longer than in the four middle ones. Hence a person living in the middle counties, may have an execution against him for money, perhaps six months, always two, sooner than he can procure one against his debtor living in one of the distant counties.

Yo were always averse to those vain young warriors and unmarried women who were fond of peeping into looking glasses; and yet at first betrayed so little understanding, as to search behind the glasses for the reality of the image. When you arose, all lovely, in the morning of years, a single look into the waters of the clear fountain of Mechuetah was sufficient for you. You tnere surveyed your beautiful image for a moment; you saw that your long ovine eke were well ad- seated Y bap ree to ae rin the wigwam, ‘0 the willow from whose twigs your curiosit; wrought a thousand baskets. * . The men and women of this great village are fond, to distraction, of their own images, and’ re- semblances drawn on asmooth surface. Wherever igh Y id Darrow ways, we are not only gratified with a sight of the originals, but we see the copies also, in profuse abaudunce suspended by way of sign from the houses; fixed over the doors as an invitation to come in; fasten- ed tothe wallsin the nature of ornament; or at tached to the glass windows as articles of sale. This isa sort of vanity or folly, that gives disgust to my heart. It is no longer than three days ago that an old man of the order of the Pawwaws advertised in lWeiprinte of the village that he should soon publish to the world the book of another man, long since dead, written on matters of theology; containing certain opinions of the old white man on the na- ture of the Great Spirit, and the duties thatare owed tohim by men; in which | , he said, would insert some opinions of his own. He added, too, that in the first page of the book, he would give his own face, as engraved on copper, opposite ’to that of the first author. | Another man written a small book on the lawe and constitutions* of this country. Scarcely had his book appeared, when it was announced in the’ public papers of the village, that the writer’s tace was to be sold in the print shops for a certain agai of white money; at the very time too when the man himself, and his face, were to be fe “for Mews nce aber at ta is mi ofa canoe that has had ahare it on the salt water.

I have slept in snows, and endu- red for who‘e moons the beating rain of the winter; but I cau declare this strange sort of xenity has never once assailed my imagination. What I did was for the good of my nation, and in that 1 found Diy rewanes hat right have these white people to be star. ing flown upon me from the walls of every house I enter Can the great white men do nothing for their country but the little people must be compelled to become miautely acquainted with the width of their faces, the length of their noses, the rotundity of their cheeks, the depreesion of their ching, or the elevation of their foreheads? : But this makes only half the evil of which I complain, The white equaws must also, it seems, have their resemblances engraved on copper, or painted oncanvass. Each of the three men I spoke of before have favored the world with the pictures of their squaws also. But for what? The squaw of the first hus ,published no systems of theology. That ot the second has written not a word on the laws of the country. The companion of the third has had no battles, no fights, except, I am told, some insignificant squabbles with her servants in the kitchen, in which the broomstick was the only offensive weapon made use Aud yetin this matter, she enjoys an equal honor with her husband who made his great guns speak witha voice of thunder, and caused his lightning to put out the eye sight of his enemies. Thave been thinking that if a wise man, a man of council, ora big captain had done any great thing for the service of his tribe or nation, the honor paid him by the people, and the thought that he had dene well, should be his great reward.— Why would he force them to gaze alsa.on his emp- ty image, a little paint laid by the hand of inge- nious cunning on & bit of canvass or a morsel of Paper! z Were he, indeed, different in the form of his body from the common race of men; had he a strange and unnatural face, of the shape of a pine knot; were his nose the length of two palmst; were bis eyes as big asa saucer, and his ears as broad as those of the buffaloe, there might be some reason for drawing a fictitious resemblance to grat- ify the inquisitive at a distance, or those of tuture ages. But conscious that he has no other than the features of a common man, why will he obtrude his resemblance upon us 7 : " O Vanity! I find thee existing here in every shape, and under every disguise.

They have added nothing to the native dig- nity of the man; and the skin of a bear or a deer would have gained me more esteem from the wise and discerning than all the’ foppery and all the lendid figures that you have lavished upon the blanket, which you gave me to put on! : ButI oan forgive you, because Nature herself is a female, and fond of finery and gewgaws.

The general boundary line between the lands of the United States, and the lands of the said Indian Tribes, shall begin at the mouth of the Cayaboga river, and run thence ap the same to the portege between thatand the Tuekarowas branch ot the Muskin river; thence down the branch, to aerossing pl above Fort Laurence, thence westerly to a fork of that branch of the great Mi- amis river, runni into the Ohio; at or near which fork stood Lorimie’s store, and where commences the portage between the Miamis of the Ohio and St. Mary’s river, which is a branch of the Mia- mis which runs into lake Erie, thence a wester! course to Fort Recovery,which stands on a branc! of the Wabaeh; thence southwesterly in a direct Jine to the Ohio; go as to intersect that river oppo- site the mouth of Kentucky, or Cattaway river. And in consideration of the peace now establish- ed, of the goods formerly received from the Uni- ted States, of those now to be delivered, and of the yearly delivery of goods now stipulated to be made hereafter; and to indemnify the United States for the injuries and expenses they have sustained during the war; the said Indian Tribes do hereby cede and relinquish forever, all their claim to the lands tying. eastward and southward of the general boundary line now directed and described; and these lands or any part of them shall never hereaf- ter be made a cause or pretence on the part of tribes, or any of them, of war or injury to the United States, or any of the people, thereof; and for the same consideration, and as an evidence for returning friendship of the said tribes, ot their confidence in the United States and desire to pro- vide for their accommodation, and for that conve- nient intercourse which will be beneficial to both rties, the said Indian tribes do also cede to the nited States the following pieces of land, viz. 1. A piece of land six miles square at or near Lorimie’s Store, before mentioned. 2. One piece ef land, two miles equare, at the head of the navi- gable water or landing, on the St. Mary’s river, near Cirtics town. 3.

Aad the said Indian tribes will also allow to the people of the United States free privilege to har- ors and the mouths of rivers along the lakes, and adjoining the Indian lands, for cheltering vessels and boats, and liberty to land their cargoes where necessary for their salety. IV. In consideration of the peace now establish- ed, of the cessions and relinquishments of lands made in the preceding articles by the said tribes of Indians ; and to manifest the Liberality of the United States os the great means of rendering this yeace strong and perpetual, the United States re- inquish their claims to all other Indian lands northward of the river Ohio, eastward of the Mis- sissippi, and westward and southward of the great lakes, and the waters uniting them, according to the boundary line agreed upon by the United States and the Kingdom of Great Britain, in the treaty of peace made between them in the year 1783, but from this relinquishment by the United pare the following tracts of land explicitly ex- cepted. 1. The tract ef land containing one hundred and fifty theusand acres near the nef ire of the Ohio, which has been assigned toGen. Clark, for the use of himself and hiswarriors. 2. The Post St. Vincen- nes,on the river Wabish and the lands adjacent, to which the Indian title has been extinguished. 3. The lands of all other places in possession of the French aod other white Peonle among them, of which the Indian title has been extinguished as mentioned in the 8d article and 4th. The post and Fort Massack towards the mouth of the Ohio, to which several parcels of land so excepted, the suid tribes relinquish all title or claim which they or any of them may have; and forthe same considera- tion, and with the same views as above mentioned, the United Statesnow deliver unto the said Indien tribe wantity of goods of the value of 20 theu- gant ars, the receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge, and henceforward every year for- ever, the United States will deliver at some con- venient place northward of the Ohio, like useful goods suited to the circumstances of the Indians, of the value of 9,000 dollars, reckoning that value at the first cost of the goods in the city of Phila- delphia, or any place in the United States where they shall be procured. The tribes tofwhich these goods are tobe annually delivered, and the proportion in which they are to be delivered, are as follows: Dolls. 1, To the W} andots, the amounts of 1000 2. To the Delawares 1000 3. To the Shawanees 1000 4. To the Miam 1000 5. To the Ottowas 1000 6. To the Chippiwees _ 1000 7. To the Pottowatomies 1000 8. To the Kickapoos, Elriverwees, and Kaskae- kias tribes, 500 dollars each ; provided always, that if either as the said tribes hereafter, at any annual delivery ot their shares ot the goods aforesaid, de- sire that part of their annuity shall be furnished in domestick materials, animals, implements of hus- bandry, and other utensils convenient for them; and in compensation to useful artificera, who may reside with er rear them, and to be employed for their benefit; thesame shall, at the subsequent an- nual defivery be furniehed accordingly. V. To prevent any misunderstanding about the Indian lands relinquished by the United States in the 1Vth article, it is Saree dceiared that the meaning of that relinquishment is this: The Indian tribes who have a right to those Jands, are quietly to enjoy them in hunting, planting and dwelling thereon, so long as they please, without any moles- tation frem the United States. But when those Meg) orany of them, shall be disposed to sell their lands, orany part of them, they are te be sold only to the United States ; and until such sale the United States will protect all said Indian tribes, in the quiet enjoyment of their lands, against all citi- zens of the United States, and against all other white people who may intrude upon the same. And the said tribes again acknowledge themselve and all their tribes, to be under the protection of the United States and no other power whatsoever. VI. If any citizen of the United States, or any other white person or persons, shall presume to set- tle upon the lands now relinquished by the United States, such citizen or other a shall be out. of the protection of the United States, and the Indian tribe, on whose land their settlement shall be made, may drive off said settler, or punish him in such a manner as they shall eee fit ; and because euch set- tlement made without the consent of the United States will be injuriousto them as well ag to the Indians, the United States shall be at liberty to break them up, remove and punish the settlers as they ehal hink proper, and to effect that protection of the Indians, herein betore Stipulated. VII. The said tribes of the Indian parties of this treaty, shall be at liberty to hunt within the terri- tory and lands which they have now ceded to the United States, without hindrance or molestation, so long as they demean themselves pea :eably, and offer no injury to the people of the United States. VIII. Trade shall be opened with the said Indian tribes, and they do bereby afford protection to such persons and their property, as shall be duly li- censed to reside among them for the pu of trade, and to their agents and servants; but no person shall be admitted to reside among them, at any of their towns or hunting camps as traders, who is not furnished with a license for that pur- pose, under the hand and seal of the superintend- ent of the department of the north west of the Ohio, or such other person as the President of the United, States may appoint or authorize to grant license, to the end that the said Indians may not be imposed — in their trade; and if any licensed trader shall abuse his privilege by unfair deali upon complaint and proof thereof, his license shi al be taken from him, and he shall be further punish- ed according to the laws of the United States. And if any person shall intrude himself as a trader, without such license, the eaid Indians shall take and bring him before the superintendent, or his de- puty, to be dealt with acoording to law; and to Prevent impositions by forged licenses, the said In- dians shall, once a year, give information to the su- perintendent, or his deputy, of the names of the traders residing among them. IX, Lest the firm peace and friendship now es- tablished, should be interrupted by individuals, the United’States and the said tribes agree that for in- juries done by individuals on either side, no pri- vate revenge nor retaliation shail ged 4 butin- stead thereof, complaints shall be made by the par- ty injured to the other Indian tribes, or any of them, to the President of the United States, or the superintendant by him appointed, and by the su- perintendant or other person inted by the Pre- sident of the United States to the principal Indian Chief of the said tribes, or of the tribe to which the offender belongs i and such prudent measures shall be parsued as shail be nec to preserve the peace and friendship, until the Legislature or great council of the United States shall make equitable provisions in the case for the satisfaction of both parties. Should any of the Indian tribes make war againet the United States or either of them, and tee same shallcome to the knowledge of the above mentioned tribes or either of them, do hereby engage to give immediate notice thereof, to the Re- neral, or in his absence, to the officer commanding the troops of the United States at the nearest post. And should any tribe with hostile intentions against the United States or either of them, attempt to pass through their country, they will endeavour to pre- vent the same, and in like manner give informa- tion of such attempts to the General or command- ing officer, as s00n as possible, that all causes of mistrust and suspicion may be avoided between them and the United States; and in like manner, the United States shall give notice to the said Jn- dian tribes of any harm that may be meditated against them, or either of them, that shall come to their knowledge, and do allin their power to hinder and prevent the same, that the friendship between them may be manifestly reciprocated. X. All other treaties heretofore made between the United States and said Indian tribes, or any of them, since the treaty of 1783, between the United States and Great Britain, shall henceforth cease become void.

Frokasmuch as the occusional meeting of a People for the exercise of Piety and Devotion towards God, more especially of those who enjoy the Light of Divine Revelation, has a strong ten- dency to impress their minds with a sense of their dependence upon him and their obligutious to Him have thought fit, according to the ancient an laudable Practice of our renowned Ancestors, to appointa day of Public Thanksgiving to God, for the great benefits which he has been pleased to bestow upon us, in the year past. And I do by the advice and consent of the Council, appoint Thursday, the Nineteenth day of November next, to be observed asa day of Publick Thanksgiving and Praise throughout this Commonwealth ; Calling upon the Ministers of the Gospel of ail Denominations, with their respective Congregations, to assemble on that Day, to offer to God, their unteigned Gratt- tude, ior his great Goodness to the People of the United States - general, and of this Common- wealth in particular. hess More pera in that he hath in his Good Prov- idence united the Several States under a National Compact, formed by themselves, whereby they may defend themselves against external Enemies aud maintain Peace and Harmony with each other. ! ‘That internal Tranquillity hath been continued within this Commonwealth; and that the voice of penis i generally heard in the habitations of the People.

We have now to present a relation of a new—a tremendous catas- trophe to our fellow citizens, if, indeed, we may be able to attract, for a moment, the consideration and commise- ration of Venezuela to the Iiseries of this unfortunate vince, which the iron hand of de appears to wi provinetiom the map of the Republic. But how oificult ‘will it be for us to awaken to these disasters, the atten- tion of our brethren who also have to weep their own ca- lamities! No one, my friend, is now heard to speek of crisis, of a want of hard money (and this went is absolute) of the decay of our products, of compleints egainst the Congress or the pul authority. Ol what importance ure all these political topics to us now? all are absorbed in the last misiortune that bes prostrated us, the new de- luge that has submerged end devastated San Fernando.

The streets ure so muny rivers in which he rapid eurrent is scoring and penetrating deeper and deeper; already deep wells and ditches are formed,which , after the waters have retired to the bed of the river, will require much earth, much time, aud many thousands of doliars to obliterate and level. Some families had formed under their roofs le hemmocks, in which they thought to remain in saiety during this violent tempest ; others gathered themselves in the high- est places thet remained above the ir, judging that theydeluge would last butia few ‘he rise of the watersfhowever, continued, and every thing has been covered for some weeks, exce} only a few houses whichjwere defended by high likes and parapets; at last, th lation,en masse resigned the city to its fate,and re- to emigrate.

Bennetr:— Deak Sm—No politician, as you have often said, ever made such mistakes about men as Mr. Tyler. Ecce Signum. Hugh Maxwell presided at a Tyler meeting in the Exchange about two years ago.— He then went to Washington, and the President thought he had gained a friend. ‘I'he eon of Mr. M. was appointed Secretary of Legation at St. Petersburgh. We now perceive Mr. M. has been making a violent political speech in favor of the ‘Whigs in Orange county, and has not hesitated to denounce the Texes aflair as a corrupt one. Mr. ‘Tyler has thus paid the penalty of his credulity.— who would notlie, to become the victim o! treach- ery and loaferism. Yours, é&c. UaYENNE.

In the evening and night # heavy ame on from the Westward, which, caused great anxiety for the safety of the vessels which were endeavor ing to get an offing. Nothing farther was heard of these vessels till Saturday afternoon and Sunday following. — First the fragments of a galley were found, and the shore and waters adjacent in Kalamezoo were strewed with bark giving resene of the probable wreck of the Whitney and loss of allon board. The sailors and others in the harbor were on the lookout for the wreck, and on Mon- day morning the crew ofthe M. Smith discovered it sbout four or five miles from shore. The vessel was capsized and lay kee) wp, with her masts ali in, and hi igeinug mostly upon her. On being informed of the discovery by the crew of the M. Smith, | immediately took measures to secure the wreck. On Thursday morning we took the wreck into the harbor, and commenced discharging her cargo of bark. Two of the men, the ceok and a possenger, were found in the bottom of the vessel under the burk. Nothing has been discovered ofthe master and the other man whe was on board.
