Ny dear Sir:

Their instructions give considerable atu a to the
enquiry they are authorized to lnS"'uti oo' 'ic'r

influence over the fna action upon the question:


II. ,hercrerore. bchoovos all parties 10 move with

first. the "Ou Sc,llels' or Western CheroNccs-
ID the "Troa,v Party of 1855 tie "AniI
Treaty Or Ross Party''-and 4th the Go'cln"lrHI
of the United States. Each Of the three hrst

made manifest it must be reIrcsscd. The nurJ

As one Of the counsel for the Western Charo'
KEGS. | will give few wu:.is Of advice. IN adJi'

Can't Rogers. the old Chief.


The "Od Settlers must lay down two posi-
lions, and place foo: upon each! The frs; Is
"Thcv claim to be tie orHers Of al the coH@t'!
West of the Mississippi, nor occupied By lie ~aI'
nation--tieir title originating under the gra"
made By The Treaty Of 1917 and Conrenf'oa o
lSl9-fheir location changed By the Ir@H'y y
1923, and their tile confirmed by The lrCaiy o
1888" This is the first position from wI'Icl
thcy must not move. They must suffer no co:
lateral question to interfere with the clam thi@
made. They make It as separate ana t"acpc"a
eut nation, disconnected altogether with any party
concerned in the Treaty of lS3J. If, att rwards
thcy unite with their friends, known as the ITea
IN pirtv," WHY. there is nothing to prevent It
thew are already united in kind feelings But, il
the prosecution of their claim against tho tnIc'
STATES. they must battle upon their ora merit ant
with their omn means. Lot me point out to yoi
how unna,uraIa connection would be. bc:wcci
these nar,i $, in 4 contest like the present. Fro
m the Treaty of 1885. tho "O.d Settlers as 4
ua,ion. were in unmo,CsICd possession OF td'
country West of the Mississippi, with their owl
Government and laws! The Treaty Of 1888 ran
lists this title of the "Oid Setters"-scts 1t aside
and claims the country as belonging to the tr
nor,jes of The nation. those East well as tuoss
IN occunancy in the West! How, then. can th'
,,-,v who made this Treaty. and clam 6eR.bh
Under IL, unite with the party whose oHy Sai'l
rests in shelving the Treaty of 1883 TO be found
ed on misconcepicn or fraud. The ''Old Sc;
Tiers" can in no-wise. recognise the Treaty o
