The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1851-11-05

In the mail received by the Nominee, on hurs-
day last came a commission to Capt A. VIII
kin, appointing him to the post OF secretary OF
the Territory in the place of &. K. Smith, re-
moved; and commission TO j. w. Furber f
Marshal, in place of H. l.. Tlden removed
Mcssrs Wilkn and Furber are ultra wings
They are respectable citizens, and WILL no
doubt make excellent officers.
Various charg, against the character of G..
K Smith had been made by the wings, which
was probably the cause of his removal. The
true ground Of their opposition to him was, how
ever personal. Although he was not the proper
kind of a mar.to fill the Office he had, the Co
venor and his other wing enemies here, would
have stood by him, if he had been like them, the
subscrvicnt ms rument of the Fur Company.
We learn that II l.. Tilden was removed be-
cause of his free soil notions, he having been in
the last Presidential canvass opponent of
Taylor and Fillmore, and supporter Of the
Buffalo nomination, which fact moi known
at the time of his appointment. At that time
II Fl. Sibley attempted to secure the appoint
ment of his wing friend Mr.. Furber, but was de-
feated by Col. Mitchers influence in favor Of
Tilden.
1t is rumorcd that Judge Goodrich sits uneasy
on the bench, and that if not already garrOted,
he soon will be. That event will cause an
alarming depression in the apple market! How
is it that the chief offender of them all, the
who has bartered his official influence to Pierre
Choutcau, Borup and Sibley. whom every body
knows to be Gov. Ramsey, has escaped:-.Mn

The LARAMIE TREArY.-We design giving
our readers the benefit of our notes in rece IT
trip to Fort Laramie and back, and history OF
the formation Of the Treaty Whilst in til,
Indians country, we found our opportunities OF
communicating SO limited and irregular, and ther
mostly occurring at unexpected periods, that il
was impossible to send regular and connected
correspondence. The object for which the Com
mission was originated, has been consunmateo
the wishes and purposes of the Government
have been attained, with all the Indian nations
present at the Treaty Its results, have
every reason to believe, will be satisfactory &c
all, and, highly beneficial to tn" people Of the
United States, as well as the Indians. Its i'm
portance,a as being the first attempt at a new pol
lev towards the titles Of the Plains-a policy
which has become essentially necessary from
considerations Of humanity and economy-ren
4 der it important that all the attendant circum

passed over country familiar to many, and the
incidents we have picked up may not be move
to ALL u to us they possess an interest which
we believe may, to some extent, be participated
in by those who have not seen them. For these
considerations we will change our original plans
of publication, and, as soon as we are somewhat
through with the congratulations of our friends
upon our return and improved health we will
give what we have noted in our Journey st
