THE INDIAN COUNCIL.

The WINNEBAGo INDIANS and the Government
Commissioners had conference Yesterday at Apol
10 Hail. The notice of that meeting published in
the Union Of the preceding night, brought numer
Gus parties OF ladies and gentlemen to Apollo Hal
about ten o'clock, who, however, had to wait fol
some time before they were admitted. We under
stand that it was determined by the Commissioners
or the Government that yesterdays conference
should be with the Indians alone; but, the Indian
orator, LITTLE HILL, having declined or refused &c
hold the conference. unless the people were admit
ted, message was sent TO the President upon the
subject, who directed, as we are informed that the
doors should be opened to the public as heretofore
The Conference was of a highly interesting cha.
racter. LITTLE HILL distinguished himself again
by his shrewdness tact, energy, and graceful gestic
ulation. We have taken notes of the remarks made
by Mr. PARIS and Col. ALERT, on the part of the
Government, and by LITTLE HILL, las given by the
interpreter, whom, however, we imperfecty heard,
but we can merely state the substance.
The Government Commissioners offer the Win
nebagoes 100000 acres of land north of St. Peters
river and west of the Mississippi. They also offer
the Indians Sl50,000 in cash or annuities. This
Mr. PARIS remarked would give to each family
about 400 acres to cultivate hunt upon in coun-
try where game was abundant and the land good.
Mr.. PARIS reminded the Indians that five

thousand persons, and now they were only about
twenty-four hundred, owing chiefly to the use OF
| spirimous liquors amongst them, which the Gov
eminent had done all within its power to prevent,
but which they (the Winuebagoes) had determined
to permit
LITTLE HILL remarked that 100000 had been
offered by their Great Father some years ago, and
| it was small business for their Great Father
now 70 offer them less, when they were weak in
numbers. They had signfed in writing their will
lingness to take 100000 in money, and 100000
in land, to be selected by the Government, and to
this they would adhere. Little Hill reiterated that
they had but one mind and one tongue; and he ap-
pealed to the Great Spirit for the truth and since
rity of all that he had said.
Mr.. FARMS said, in reply, that the Commission
ers had no power to make any additional or new
offer to the Winnebagoes, but he would submit
their proposition to the President, who, however
he thought, ouldnot go beyond the offer which the
Commissioners had rendered.
After the usual shaking of hands by all the In
dams present at the conference with the Commits
sioners, the meeting broke up about hapast twelve
o o'clock.

ANNEXATION OF NEW MEXICO.

Ii the people of this country have not given up
all idea that the Executive Of the United States is
Of limited functions and powers, or if they
have not lost the faculty of being astonished at any
stretch of those powers, we think they will read
with some amazemcnl the subjoined Proclamation Of
the Presidents Pro Consul in the Province of New
Mexico. We will not at present trust ourselves to
express what we feel in regard to this exercise of
powers unheard OF and undreamed of by the
Fathers Of the Constitution. We will content our
selves to-day with quoting the brief remarks of the
st. Louis Republican this new scene in the
grand drama Of conquest and annexation which the
President is now enactng-only observing, by the
way that the foreign Province which Gen. kEARNEy
has taken possession of and sworn into the Union
is set down in the gazetteers as containing $50, 900
square miles.
FROM THE LOUIS REPUBLICAN.
GEN. KEARNEY's PARLIAMENTARY find in
the Lexington Express, received by yesterdays
mail, the following proclamation. 1t strikes US
very extraordinary document. There might have
been some pretext for taking formal possession of
the territory claimed by Texas, though never occu-
pied, and which would embrace the city of Santa
Fe; but that Gen. KEARNEy should undertake to
seize the whole department of New Mexico and
annex it to the United States, is an extraordinary
stretch Of power which can only be justified by ex-
press instructions from the President. Such in
structons may justify Gen. Kearney, but what is
to Justify the President? We had supposed that
some formates were necessary before such whole
sale anneXatons OF territory could be made to the
United States. But it is said to be the wish and
Intention Of the United States to provide for New
Mexico free government with the least possible
DELAY, similar to those in the United States, and the
people of New Mexico will then be called on to
exercise the rights of reemen in electing their own
representatives 10 the Territorial Legislature"
This is broad enough and shows that Gen. KEAR-
NEY has acted under the instructions of the Pres-
dent and that it is deemed necessary to consult
Congress or the People in matter of SO grave a
character. For strict constructonist of the con-
stitution the President seems to gentleman of
about as easy manners as any official we have ever
met with, even in these days Of progressive Lo-
cOfocOsm -

THE OREGON NEGOTIATION.

We make room in this days paper for the
Instructions Of the Secretary of State to Min
lister to England, Mr. McLANE,) for his guidance
in regard to the Oregon question, and portions
of the correspondence of that Minister with his
Government on the same subject. These do
cuments were communicated to the Senate on the
2lst of July last, but were not made public until
about the close of the session. The pressure on
our columns precluded their insertion at that busy
period, and subsequent claims on our space have
interfered to prevent their appearance until the
present moment. Their publication is due alike to
our readers, to full understanding of a subject SO
important in our history, and to the Secretary of
State himself, who is responsible TO the country for
the character of the papers which bear his signatures
