| of proper police and penalties, will do much towards the exterinination Of an evil, which, where 1t exists to any con siderable extent, is equally destructive of their present comfort and their future happiness.

 ,. The employment Of an adequate force in their immediate vicinity. and flxed determination to suppress, at all hazards, the slightest attempt at hostilities among themselves

 So long as passion for war, fostered and encouraged, as 1t F, by th-ir opiniass and habits, is allowed free scope forexer- else, it will prove the mister spirit, con- trolling, if not absorbing, all other con- alterations. And fin checking this evil some examples should become necessary they would be sacrifices to humanity, and not to severity.

 4 Encouragement to the severaity of property, and such provisions for its se= curity, as their own regulations do not afford. and as may be necessary to It's en- joyments.

 ;. Assistance 10 all who may require 1t in the opening of farms, and in procuring domestic animals and instruments of agri- culture.

 6. Leaving them in the enjoyment of their peculiar institutions, as far as may be compatible with their own safety and ours, and with the great objects of their prosperity and improvement.

 7 The eventual employment of persons competcnt to instruct them, as far and as fast as their progress may be most useful to them.

 Arrangements have been made upon fair and equitable terms with the Shaw nees and Senecas of Lewistown, with the Shawnees of WapaghSonetta, and with the Ottowas of Bfanchard's 5 Fork, and the Maumee, all within the State of Ohio, for the cession oftheir reservations in that State. and rtheir emigration 10 the re- zion assigned for the permanent residence of the Indians. 4 similar arrangement was made with the Senecas in the early part of the year, and they are already Hp- on their journey to ther new country.- A deputation from the Wyandots has gone to examine the district offered 10 tbem; and the general outliaes Of an arrange ment for cessipn have been agreed ap- on, to be formally executed, if the. report of the exploring party should prove setis- faetory.

 It has been suggested Chat consid era ble portion of the citerekees in Georgia arc desirous of agaiiing themaelYes Of the provisions Of the treaty, May 6ta, 1929. for their removal. With a view to ascer- tain this fact, and to afford them the aid efFe red by ttattreatv, II they ara enciined to accept it, a system of operations has been adopted, and persons appointed to carry 1t ipto effect. Sufficient time to form judgment ofthe result of shis mea- sure has not yet elapsed.

 But in all the efforts. which ma- he made, the subject V will Il! 55o sh,!tg and fairly explained to the lndiane, and they will be left to judge for themselves. The agents 4ro prohibited from the exortion ofany improper influence, but arc directed to communicate to the Indians, the views Of tho President, and his decided convictions that their speedy FenoTa! can only pre- serve them from tho serious evils which environ them. It is to be hoped, that they will accept this saIutarY advice, and proceed to join their countrymen in the district appropriated for their permanent residence.

 If the seeds of improvement are sown among them, as many good men assert and believe, they will ripen into an abund ant harvest--profitablc to themselves in the enjoyment, and to all the members of this dispersed family in the example.

 The details ofan outrage committed by party of Fox Indians, upon number of Menomonies at Prairie du Chien, while encainped under the protection of our flag, will be found in the report of the ofi- cer having charge of the bureau of Indian Affairs. The alleged motive for this wan- ton aggression was some previous injury .ofa similar nature, stated to have been committed by the Nienomonies upon the Fox Indians--a justification, which can never be wanting, where neither time nor treaties, as in this case, are permitted 10 cancel the offence.

 This aggr ession. together with the diff entities at Rock Island with the Sac in- 'dians, of which the same report furnishes the particulars, shows the necessity of employing upon the frontiers corps of mounted men, to be stationed at the most exposed points, and to be always prepared to follow every party, that may attempt t0 iiteTTuP. ts;c. peace ef the hnrder. br attacking either our citizens or other ln- dians. These predatory bands strike a stroke and disappear. And there IS iu the institutions of the Indians, such a strong tendency to war, tbat we shalliong be Ii- able to these outrages. Military prowess and success form their principal roati to distinction. And the interminahie fer ests and prairies of tho West offer them thf means of shelter and escape. No in tantry force can expect to overtake them and five are not provided with mounted troops, who can prevent or punish these aggressians, we shall frequently be con. pelied to adopt measnres rhore expensive and inconyonienttou to us, and more Injurious tu the Indians.
