the President once made mention in
communication, to Congress, and more
especially since the alliance of the BIZ.
fish and the Indians in defence of their

Indian Prophet would find himself as
safe and as much at his case at Wash
ington, at this time, as the Prophet Da-
MEL Of old did, in the Lions den. The
truth is, take it the administration is a
little tender upon the subject of prophe-
cy, as they and their friends have been
very unsuccessful in that calling.
