committee, unanimously, to ask that the bill be
put its passage. This bill he said, passed the
Senate at an early day in the session, from convc
tion the part ofthe Government, and that branch
! of the Legislature, Of its great importance. The
| tribes number thirty thousand warriors. We have
already during the present session, in consequence
| Of the hostile demonstration Of Indians on the
western frontiers Of New Mexico and Texas author
| lied additional expenditure of two three mil
| lions of dollars. The Government is satisfied that
if treaty be entered into with these tribes it would
be attended with salutary effect. At the present
| time, there are captive women and children,
| taken from the western settlement, and il is duty
TO resort to every legitimate means to rescue them.
This can be done only by entering into treaty with
these tribes, and establishing friendly relations
with them. The expenses attending this are esti.
| mated at two hundred thousand dollars. He did
