i nd what does Mr. Wise propose under The Stale Of

..Whv may they not be suffered to remain on tie soil
as their brethren have remained in Virginia: The rem

and this day they continue regularly To bring III their
pairs OF wild ducks tributes TO secure Tie tenure 81
their land Let these Indians alone, and they will gTa-
dualIy melt away and disappear before the white p2pa
la0u But ypn insist driving them away, what Is

IN this idea, MIR. Everett OF Vermont. (alr. Bells
abolition ftend) cordially concurred Mr. Everett (says
! the Inclligencefs repOGt)
'Avowed himself unwilling to carry on Ibis war any
longer though he not for yielding lie wished a
pacicalury TO be tried. He WORLD arm the
Executive with authority and appropriations TO enable
him adopt which should terminate il pacli
caily"
Ii appears tie only difference between Aiessrs. Wise
and Everett is that one is opposed To any appropriation
to compel the Indians I" comply with their Lealy-iint
u.s. the other is willing to appropriate
to induce them TO stay ':paclHcaliy!
Mr. Bell Tor his part, drIigILed with the spirit
with which the war for the SeminOes was carried on by
his troops in the House. that lie told the delegate from
