HIGHLY IMPORTANT INDIAN
TREATY.
An Mdian Territorial Gouernme

An Indian Territorial Government.
A friend AT Prairie Du Chen has furnish
ed us with the particulars of an arrangement
with the Sioux Indians, which we imagine,
will hereafter excite n good deal Of specula-
ton. Itseems to be the intention Of the
Government to establish an Indian Terrific
nv, North Of the 81. Peters river, with limi-
ted legislative powers, to be governed much
as our territories are governed now-the
general government TO appoint the governor,
and the Indians 10 choose the Councils; in a
word, to change the habits Of the Indians
from those of the rowing hunter, to the quiz
ct agricuituralist, and to place over them the
voluntary restraints OF the civil law, in the
stead Of their present chieftain vassalage.-
II is possible that the thing may be success
fully done-it is ,rorthy Of an efort-but
we are skeptical as TO the result. 1t will be
a difficult matter to break up with the lndi-
ans their present mode Of government by
chiefs, and to transform them into quiet citi-
zens, capable of exercising the elective fran
chise-and equally so, to make them bury
the hatchet,' and slearn war no more.-
However, the government can try the expe-
riment, particularly as the Indians are to
pay for their tuition at the cost Of twenty
five millions Of acres of land.-[Gallena
Gd>ctte.
The Madison (W. IT, Enquirer, says, it is
said that Gov. Doty, has effected a treaty
with the western bands Of the Dakota ma
ton Of Indians for about thirty millions some
where west Of the Mississippi. The terri
tory treated for is intended for the eastern
and northern Indians, upon a plan Of giving
To each Indian who may become n settler and
cultivate 4 farm a title 10 ? hundred acres
of land, and when he becomes civilized. of
making him a citizen. The lane thus gran
ted cannot be transferred to white men in
any way. and can only descend to Indian
blood. There is something quite grand and
philantropic in this design, but We fear its
execution will be found to be wholly imprac-
.ticable.

COST OF THE PRESIDENTIAL Ell
ECTION.

Mr.. William Kctchum, a wing Orator al
the late Tallmadge dinner ii New York
who was exhorting the disconnected Federal
lists and dishonest Conservatives, TO hang
together for the sake of party and the spoils
made the following startling disclosures
"Let us not said Mr.. Ketchum, close all
we have carried by 4 want of concert
among ourselves. 1T COST MORE THAN FL
TIER OF OUR TWO WARDS. 1t cost too much
to be lost by the jealousics of those who have
not been appointed to office" This is a
candid admission most assuredly, and is sui,
ficient to create a just alarm for the safety
of our Republican institutions. This throws
some light on that immense amount OF TWEEN.
ty-nine million, which has been called "sus.
pended debt' in the United States Bank Re-
port. This moreover accounts for the anxl-
ETY. which is manifested by the corrupt feder.
al leaders for another United States Bank, since
the old bank has been plundered until 1t has
been reduced to a skeleton, and nothing but
the dry bones left. The Federal hyenas are
now ravenous for mory prey, regardless OF
the means of the destitute widows and the
friendless orphans who have been robbed OF
their all, and reduced to a state OF destItu-
ton by these voratious beasts OF prey.

The coons in these parts are complaining
bitterly of the neglect and i'll treatment they
are now receiving from their former friends
and allies, the wings. We came across the
other day an old coon, "sittin on a rail" who
was the very picture of despair and broken.
heartedness. He seemed to be an old veto
ran who had done good services TO the State.
He thought it was a hard case, that after
the coon fraternity had assisted in putting
the wings in power, that they should then be
deserted and no further notice taken of them.
Politician is ungrateful and coons have
been duped.' said he feslingiy, as he wiped
the tears from his eyes. We endeaver-
ed to console him by telling him that he had
plenty Of company in disappointment about
these days.
Let the wings look to this matter. or the
coons may desert the party and set up on
their own hook.-Vermont Republican.
