very great importance 10 the government, the IN.

Indian country, the difficulty, in;consequence, Of
procuring tho regular Attendance Of witnesses. in.
creased by the fact that they are generally lndnns,
has resulted thus far, in most cases, in defeating
the ends Ct justice. The bill you propose would
very materially remedy the evil, and DO the means
Of h,ving speedy administration Of Justice
The expenses attending the proseclion Of the vari.
Gus suits on behalf of the United Suites would
also be greatly lessened, aud an early, establish
ment Of said court would be very desirable. -Ir

SPEECH OF MR.. ASHLEY, ON OREGON.


While such par;izans as Senators Evans of
others, are rackng their ingenuity to fish up new
matter and argument against our claim 10 the noble
country Of Oregon, i. is gratifying TIN! thoro is
such an array of talent anG patriotism in The Sen.
ate standing ready 10 meet them. Que Of the most
jealous and patriotic democrats is Senator Ashley.
He delivered an able speech, April 3,and 10 the
course of it administered rebuke TO such recreant
senators, as severe as it was just. We quote his
alIuson to Messrs. Evans and Archor-the latter
having had the wonderful acuteness to SEQ that
the consultation gave the country no power TO ac-
quiro territory by discovery =. - *aHt
Verify that whig Senator Archer isa queer
fellow. This position is worthy Of the author OF
the report on Native Americuusnl-a document
unsurpassed, we venture 10 say, 10 congressional
annals, for literary absurdity. and ono. which had
it come from democrat, would have made its
author, all his life long, the sad burden Of some
merry song! A..
We regret that CDR limits forbid further ex-
tracts from Senator sAshIeys patriotic speechs--
He ably compares the ability Of this country to
defend her rights, analyses the boosted strength
Of Great Britain, aud shows that we have moth
ing to fea from asking that which is right, or re.
fusipp 10 submit, 10 that which is wrong. Itis
speech worthy of Senator Ashley's high character
and warm patrio;ism.--B Boston Post. .lad q { .

dious and the boundaries of Texas; thus inclu
inc the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw Indians.
three of the largest tribes, and those further ad-
ynnced in civilization than any others. besides

ter Of the accused and witnesses may be known
