DANIEL B. AMOS, _Sec'y. Marshpee, Dec. 23, 1833_." I quote these articles only because they serve to show that there was a disposition prevalent among the editorial fraternity, to prejudice the people at large against the rights and liberties of the Indians. After our petition had been presented, our delegates obtained admission into the Hall of the Representatives, where they were privileged to tell their own story. Our enemies endeavored to hinder them even of this, though without success; and thankful are we that they did not succeed. It will be seen from the following, that the delegation were not unmindful of their duty. The address of the Marshpee Indians at Boylston Hall, last evening, was listened to with great attention, by a crowded house, and with approbation, too, if we may judge from the repeated marks of applause. The address at the State House last Friday evening was also attended by an overflowing house. We were unable to get in, and cannot, therefore, say what effect was produced by it. The next is from the Liberator of Jan. 25, 1834. THE MARSHPEE INDIANS. This is a small tribe, comprising four or five hundred persons, residing at the head of Cape Cod, in Barnstable |
