The Hillsborough Recorder

Montgomery, (Alabama.) September 15.

The friend of Alabama, Col. Brearley, the indefatigable agent appointed for the emigrating Indians, returned to Montgomery, from Washington City, on Tuesday evening last.

The return of Colonel Brearley to Alabama was rendered necessary by various reasons. His deputation, at the time when it was so much regretted: in it the people of this section of the state saw reasons which corroborated the general belief that Government was not serious in its efforts to allure them. We are now glad to hear that the Colonel has returned with new and enlarged powers: that means will be afforded him by government to further his views: and that the power of government, if necessary, will be exercised for the support of his measures. To Colonel Brearley the citizens of Alabama owe a debt of gratitude; his exertions to allure emigration have been unceasing. He is eminently qualified for the difficult office, and seems to act for the benefit of Government, having a proper regard to the rights of the Indians. The Colonel thinks he will be enabled to start in one month with 500 Indians: his departure will be necessary at that time, to enable him to arrive at his destination before the heavy rains set in, from which he experienced so much difficulty in his previous journey. His return has restored somewhat the confidence of the people in the Government. We are glad to learn he expects to continue until an entire emigration. His return with numbers manifests the confidence reposed in him by government, and gratifying to Alabama.
