tie. Kiawas, ard lie Chayernes. They
are frequently, and perhaps at present,
engaged inwar with the Pawnees, Osa-
ges and other tribes of whom We have
some knowledge. Of the Indians met
by our party, none have ever been into
our settlements. They appeared to be
wholly ignorant of the existence Of such
q people as those af the y. States, or in-
deed Of the existence of any people ofA
fairer complexion than the inhabitaats of
Mexico, or the adjacent Spanish prov
inccs, of whom 1t appeared they had
some knowledge. Being made to un.
terstand the existence Of such a govern
ment, its power and its humane policy,
as excmpliIed in its treatment Of other
Indian tribes they expressed great dc.
sire to be taken by the hand BY the y.
States, and to place Themselves under
our protection,
The topogrsphers, medical gentlemen,
and painters attached to this Expedition.
have collected abundant materials for
correcting some Of the gross errors in
the received geography Of thi. part Of
our country, for making important ad.
ditions to medical botany, and to the
stock of our geological knowledge Of our
own territory and the painters have
many interesting and valuable sketches
of the prominent features OF the country.
Besides possessing the government Of
such information as was indispensable to
judicious arrangements for the support
and protection Of the American popula-
ton penetrating into that country, this
expedition ought. and we hope wIl,.
form the subject Of one Of the most at
tracriye works ever published in this
country. eM
What struck us most imprrssively in
this briefnarrative was, that some thou
sand miles ON this side OF our utmost
Western boundary, or in other words,
about half WY ,ctwecn the Mississippi
| river and the Pacific Ocean, an explor-
ing plrty has met with several tribes of
men, the aborigincs and prcprirtors ol
the soil of tho country, who were igno-
rant, not only of the existence OF the
people of the u. States, but Of the exis-
tence Of race of White People. II
! gives us an awfii. idea Of the magnificent
| extent Of the domain Of the Republic.
