The humane policy disclosed in the mes

aud oihcr tribes OF Indians claiming
lands on our western frontier, 10 send
depatation FULLY authorized 10 treat with
hun for ccssion OF the lands as prepa-
rstoIy TO the collocalion of the other
tribes. The chiefs and head men of The
Kansas and 0sages are nov here and
have held several talks with the super
intendant, which indicate Willingness
OF their part to acquiesce in the views
o! the government, A part of the dele
CATION from the Oitoes and Delawares
has already arrived, and The whole are
expected IN lew days, when the differ
enees now existing between these chill
tlren of the forest will be adjusted by

srs are lie owners of the valuable tract
of land which is bounded by line run
ming south from tort Usage, and north
from the mouth Of the Kansas, and lies
west of this state and the territory OF Ar
kansas. The extinguishment OF SO much
OF their claim as is inc luded in this state,
as we'll as the removal! and collection
OF the ether tribes, has been for some
time past urged upon the President by
several OF our most influential citizens,
and by special resolution Of the Iegis-
lature.

annuity for 90 years, and the government,
wiil,proviGe them with domestic stock OF
cattle, hogs, poultry, &c. Provision will
be e,ade Tor the support OF the schools
now among them, and reservations re-
tanned for the support OF future schools,
and some of their principal men and half
breeds. The face Of the country is well
adapted by nature for grazing, and the
business of the shepherd corresponds SO
nearly with the habits and pursuits OF the
Indian, that it is hoped as the wild game
which heretofore furnished the means OF
subsistence shall disappear, better and
more certain support will be given by
the benevolence OF our government ; and
thai ideas OF Individual rights necessar-
)y introduced, by the possession OF do
mesiic animals, will tend TO amcliorate
their condition, and prepare the abort
gines for future Improvements IN civili-

game in the interior, and lis scarcily on
the frontier, as well as the growing
strength ead eo-s~.i..enf increase nf po-
uula,.on among our Mexican neighbors,
make It highly important for the United
