ter, some or the citizens living iii the vicinity of the
loway Indians, hav ing lost their horses accused the
loways OF stealing them; the charge was denied but
the whites did not believe the Indians, and soon af-
ter, some the Ioway families appearing in the set
temen, were literally sript of every thing valuable
they had about them, and every species of clothing
for the alleged purpose of obtaining the value of the
horses lost by the whites. The consequence of this
proceeding was, that of the children thus inh,-
manly robbed ,oere frozen 10 death! 1t was after
wards proven that the Ioways did steal the hors-
es, but they stolen by tribe of Indians resi-
ding far from the Ioways, and in contrary direc-
ton from the settlements.
1t Is remarked by those acquainted with the nduns
bordering our settlements, that they, hardly any
instance, violate the rights of the whites, unless pro-
voked to it.
How can we expect to be at peace with the sava-
ges it we deny them the right of exercising the FIRST
law of nature that of self protection. In very man,
nstanc es, they have been known to exercise great
orbearance. Here. after being grossly ronged they
complained to the nearest authorities and waited un
der their sufferings till human nature could bear il
no longer.
These things, Mr.. Editor, ought to be inquired
into. Our Government ought to know how the In
dans treated by the whites vino settle near them
trust the late difficulties will lead to u thorough
investigation of these matters and that the truth NAV
be known.
II the whites are not more bianeabe than the In
dams, the expectations of some ofthe most intell-
gent citizens of Missouri will be disappointed
