lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas His Excellcncy John Cham.
bers. Governor Of Iowa, has given q per-
NIT to certain Sac and Fox Indians, (num.
boring about one hundred,) to hunt on
the islands fthe Mississippi, and where
as many Of those islands lie in ond ad-
jacent TO Benton Township; and where
as the citizens Of said Township have
been disturbed and harrassed by their
begging and opportunities; and whereas
they have suffered considerable loss by
said Indians in killing great numbers Of
their hogs; and whereas said Indians i'll
their present situation are perfect pest
and nuisance to the citizens Of said Town.
ship. Therefore,
RESOLVED. That in giving said permit
TO said Indians, Gov. Chambers showed
his perfect ignorance Of the Indian char.
ac'er aud habits, and his utter disregard
OF the interest Of the settlers adjoining
the Indian encampment.
Resolred, That although Gov. Cham
bers has permitted said Indians to camp
on our plantations and eat up our SUBJ
stance, yet we are determined tina, they
shall leare ''peaceaby if we can-forci-
by if we must
Resolred, That we as sovereign peo-
pie would like 10 know where Gov. Cham
bers derives the power to quarter sci

Resoired, That a man who knows so
little of our interests and wishes is unfit
to be our ruler.
Resolred. That we do hereby instruct
our delegation at Iowa City, to memori-
alze the President for the immediate re-
moval Of John Chambers as Governor Of
this Territory.
On motion, resolved, that the proceed

NJ. Springer moved TO postpone the
election of president and proceed to the
choice of the other officers.
Cox and Gehon objected, and with
speeches of some length proceeded TO
show the improperly OF such a course,
and from analogy OF Congress, and other
legislative branches, proved that the
choice of the first officer was the first
duty, and that the Council could no, pro-

Mr. Rog. RS rerlied that the reasons
urged by the last gentleman, had ever
existed. The capitol had always been
thronged by applicants for Office who
had to bear their own expenses. But
such considerations had never been
operative in the slightest degree with
former legislatnres-as TO the saving Of
time, every body knows, that we have
to rack our brains TO frame plausible
excuses for remaining here our allotted
seyenty-dve days. The real reason, for
the unusual course proposed, has not in
