THE INDIANS.


 For the last three or four years we have endeavored, but with very little success, to draw the public attention to the Indians upon our frontier. The Government has been crowding tribe after tribe upon our borders, without any preparatory arrange ments. Half civilized Indians are brough, from their farms and orchards and set down in the wilderness to starve or plunder for a livelihod. The game is exhausted, and the means and inducements to an agricul- tural life are inadequate and unsafe. Con- sidering the subject, for the present, with sole view to the interest of the Indians, we feel constrained to say that the system heretofore pursued by the United States is cruel in the extreme. It is idle to talk a. bout vOluntGry removal of tribe from their fathers graves to distant position in the wilderness, surrounded by strange, ,jeaI- ous, perhaps hostile nations. It is a tale which may be believed in the Atlantic Cit- ies, or in the midland parts of the old States, but we of the frontier know better. We knoa0 that Indians are compelled to remove by all the arts of cunning and of force. They are teased and harrassed con- tinually in their old locations by the de- signed intrusions and trespasses of the whites. and by State regulations studiously vexatious, until they can find no peace nor comfort at their old homes. If these means fail, the threats of power can bully them into submission, or their chiefs can be brib- ed to remove. 1t may be that, under pre- sent circumstances, it is necessary to re- move the Indians to the frontier. Be il SO: still, to remove them without humane systen in actual practice, to support, pro- tect, and govern them, and to guard our white settlements, is cruel to the Indians, and unjust to the frontier States.
