The system which they propose respecting tho pub

Lie lands belong to the whole people of the United
States. They their property, and all are equally
interested in them. To throw away these lands, or
to seize them, as was recommended at the Tam
many Hall NEE ting, would be nothing more or
less than public robbery-as much so as to take the
bullion in the Philadelphia Mint, which is just as
much public property as the public lands are. The
anti slavery faction here are attempting TO turn the
democratic party into public robbers, and will be
hurried along to their destiny little faster than
they imagine.

bable that before next spring there will be very
active canvass for the presidency throughout the

Ii is expected that the commissioners appointed
10 negotiate treaties with the Indian tribes of Cali
fornia Will depart upon their interesting and impor-
tant mission to-day The commissioners, it will be
recollected, are Col. II. Mckee, Dr. O. Nj. Wozen-
craft, and Col q. w Barbour. John Mckee, Esq,
will act as secretary Of the commission These gen.
tlemcn have devoted the time, which has elapsed
since their arrival in the country, to investigations
in relation to the character Of the Indian tribes,
their locations, habits, disposition, and the probable
causes, and the incidents of the various difficulties
between them and the white settlers. They
men OF large experience, possessing much firmness
and decision OF character, combined with that cir
cumspcction and prudence essential 10 successful
negotiation with an uncivilized people. Under
der from the Secretary of War, General Smith has
furnished an escort to the commission Of about ten
officers and eighty picked men, fully armed and
equipped, and placed under the command of Capt.
Keys, than whom more popular commander
could not have been chosen The officers and men
have all been selected with reference to the delicate
nature Of the service upon which they detailed.
While it will be their duty to defend the commits
sion from attacks Of marauding parties of Indians,
and to give, by their presence, an air Of dignity and
authority to their proceedings, they will be required,
il is feared, to keep in check unprncpled bands of
their own countrymen. whose lawless, and frequent
~ unproyoked proceedings against the untutored
aborgines, might otherwise put it out Of the power
OF the commissioners to approach or conciliate
those whom they desire to reach In this connec-
tion, we would again appeal to the whites residing
IN the Indian precincts, to exercise little forbear
nnce. Let them remember the ignorance Of the
red man, and his many wrongs at the hands of our
race. Our people profess to DC governed by reason
and law. The Indians know no other law than that
Of self-will, retaliation and revenge. They do not
understand our language, our customs and the
course pursued towards them in too many instances
has undoubtedly been calculated to give them the
impression that there was nothing left for them ex-
cept retaliation or determination. little forbear-
ance on our part Il indispensable, until the commits
sioners shall have had an opportunity through the
means OF competent interpreters, TO explain the
true position Of affairs, and to treat for the cxtin-
guishmcnt of the Indian title to the lands desirable
for occupation.
The entire party will start from Benica for stock
ton, where mules will be provided for them, and
whence they will proceed to the Mariposa country,
where they commence operations. We hope that
the press in the vicinity of the recent collisions
will second the praiseworthy efforts Of the commits
mission, by counselling forbearancc and quiet. Ii
the people will but cooperate in this manner, we
may hope for the very best results Of the labors Of
the commissioner
