THE WINNEBAGoEs We rejoice to learn that
the President of the United States has concluded
a treaty with the chiefs of the Winnebagoes now
in Washington, on terms more favorable to the
latter than those at first proposed by the Commits
sioners OF the United States. BY the conditions
of this treaty the tribe cede to the United States
all the lands at present occupied by the Winnie
bagoes in Iowa. We are immeasurably the gain
ers by this arrangement, but yet we are much
pleased to find that our government has treated
the red men in a spirit of liberality.
We think it of the greatest importance that our
red brethren should be impressed favorably to-
wards us, and we trust that all our future dealings
with them will be characterized by lenient and
liberal spirit 1t is certainly our best policy to cul
tivate their good will; and when the race shall
have become extinct, as we fear it is destined in
few years to be, we will not have the remorse
of having contributed in any degree to their de-
struction. These Winnebago chiefs will return
home impressed with an exalted opinion OF our
government and institutions; and what is yet of
more importance, impressed, with lively sense
of our observation-disclosures, we, powerful
nation, granted to them, a weak tribe, in conside-
ration of their weakness, terms far more liberal
than those which we thought due to them in stric
Justice.
We hope that future administrations will take
example by that of Mr.. Polk, and carry out the
mild policy that characterizes the recent treaty
with the Winnebagoes, in their future intercourse
with the various Indian tribes on our borders.

Our Relations with ,Mexico.---The Means to
obtain an EARLY Peace.
The war with Mexico Is to be conducted with
vigor. The brief cessation at Monterey will ena-
bic our troops to make their next dash one OF
startling effect.
The vigorous prosecution of the war to the
very capital of Mexico, is now dictated by pru-
dence and humanity, and we believe the govern
ment are to adopt it the only one that
will attain the desired object. With this view,
the plan of the campaign has been changed
General Taylor, il is understood, will leave
Monterey occupied, and march with the main
body Of the troops under his command to Saltillo,
to engage the enemy there, if he should have an
opportunity but at all events to hold possession
of that place until he should be advised of the re-
suit Of the attack and capture Of Tampico by the
feet under Commodore Conner, who has receiv-
ed direction to use all the force under his COM
mand for that purpose. The march from Monte
rey to the city of Mexico is at least six hundred
miles longer than from Tampico, and hence we
see the object the administration have in view in
altering the plan of invasion, to be march to the
capital at once, by the shortest and most direct
route.
1t would appear from this that the action of our
government has hitherto been based on the pro-
liability that, after the Mexcans had met our
forces and sustained defeat, as they necessarily
must ini every engagement that may take place,
they would at once see the inutility of further
continuing hostilities, and would Immediately
sue for peace and being disappointed in this,
they would have girded up their loins and deter
mined to pursue more vigorous course Of ac-
ton, and march directly to the'capital, and cap
ture it, hoping when it was reduced, and in the
possession of our forces, the end will be attained
This we are disposed to believe is the present
condition Of affairs; and we are glad that the ad
ministration has altered the plan ofthe campaign,
and commenced in earnest to conquer q
peace"
We are also further informed, that in case the
attack on Tampico should not answer the pur-
poses contemplated, that the naval force
of the United States will be employed in reduc-
ing the castle of st. Juan d'Uloa and the city of
Vera Cruz.
1t will thus be seen that the war with Mexico
is in fact only now rightly commenced, and that
ere long we may expect to see a new trump
turned up. The cards have been shuffled over
by which we have got the advantage, and that
advantage must be followed up till the game is

Gov. BoUCK's OLD WHITE Horse. We pre-.
sumo that the name and reputation of Gov
Bouck, the present sub-treasurer of the city OF
New York, are familiar to most of our readers:
and that they may know something of his cold
white horse" We copy the following from the
N. Y. Sun:
The old white horse is now about fifteen
years Of age, but quite brisk and lively. lie
was llrst introduced to the people Of Schoharie
county, i'll the State election IN 1912 When
Mr.. Bouck accepted the nomination as COVER
nor, he started on the old white horse, on pill
grlmagc among the mountains. The good
Dutch people turned out to meet him in every
direction, and the Governor would address
them in their native Dutch, which he speaks
with great tluency. His speech was always the
same at every town, and the old horse got so
well acquainted with 1t, that he knew exactly
when his master had finished. At the end of
the speech he would lead off with a regular
horse laugh, which was the signal for a hurra
from the audience, His wonderful sagacity
was the general talk; and the accounts spread
among the hills, in advance of the Governor,
positively asserted that the horse "shpoke te
low Dotch like a pOok." This increased the
excitement Sentnels were posted on the hill
tops to warn the villagers Of the Governors
appearance, so that all might have a chance to
see the old white horse. So the Governor was
elected by an overwhelming majority, and to
this day, the good Dutch people of Schoharie
Mountains will tell you that "Gov. Pouck's old
vte horse shpeaks te low Dotch like pook.
This valuable animal may now be seen occa-
slonally in Wall street, carrying loads of specie
from the banks for Gov. Bouck to lock up in
the iron vaults, until he has tine to count it
and send it off to Mexico.

indeed it may be considered tho largest in the

and general arrangements, anything of the kind
