INDIAN ExloRArlox.-Every enc
who has read the letter Of Mr.. llxnnum

Indian Tribes west Of the Mississippi
will be satisfied that the policy Of the

been Of the most proper and humane
character. 1t scenes that Mr.. Sher.
mon, the very capable commissioners
appointed on the part Of the govern
ment, to hold treaties and supcrintend
emigration, has lately concluded ~
important treaty with the Quapan
tribe in all his intercourse with the
savages, having gwen them most ad.
vantageous terms has ef1ectually concil-
lated their good feelings. The Indians
who have cm,grated are rapidly advan.
cling in civilization, and the truth Of
the proposition Of Gov. Cas-, is every
day becoming more firmly establishec,
viz: that the plan Of emigration o6ess
to this race the only hope Of ultimate
security and Improvement.
The removable the west has already
greatly improved the condition Of tho
Indians. They have n delightful coun.
try. Mr.. Hannum says:--~The waters
of the Nesho and Illinois are very
transparent, and afford great Quantity
es Of the best kind Of fish. The couus.
try inhabited by the Choctaws, Creeks,
Cherokees, Osages, Senacas, kaslk.s-
