Treaty with oregon Indians.


5 The Republic announces that the commits
sioners appointed 20 treat with the Indians in
Oregon west of the Cascade mountains for the
purchase Of their lands, have concluded treat
les with the SauGiam band Of the CaIlapooya
tribe, BY which they cede tothe United States
portion Of Willamette valley, about 80 miles
in length and 90 in width. They have also
concluded treaty with the Twallatty band Of
the same tribe. including country about SO
miles in length and 20 in width. The lands
ceded by these treaties are among the most
valuable in the Willamette valley. The Re-
public says: 2
These Indians without any exceptions,
manifested a fixed and settled determination
not, under any circumstances, or for any con-
sideration, TO remove; and they urged, among
other reasons foT not doing So thai their faith
kers had lived and were buried in this country ;
that ID was their native land, and that they
wished to be buried by the graves of their
ancestors. that they we're not acquainted with
the country east Of the Cascade mountains,
and were ignorant of the means Of procuring
a livelihood in any other than the one in which
ithey now live, and thatitwonld be more hu-
name and n.eFciful fol the whites to extermin-
ate them as once than to drive them from this
TO the country east of the Cascade mountains.
Al number Of persons who are now residing
within the limits of those reservations express
sed entire willingness TO hhye the Indians re-
main where they now are. and their belief that
the other settlers in the Heighborhood entertain
similar feelings. ssi -. !.
The commissioners explained to them the
advantages which would result to them from
haSing large portion ofth e purchase money
/ of their lands appropriated for the establish
meHt Of schools among them, and in rhe pro-
cusing Of agricultural implements; but they
wholly refused TO have any portion Of tex
pended ID educational purposes, and only the
Twallatty band consented to allow small por-
ton 20 be expended in farming utensils.
A large portion of both these bands are at
all times living in white families in the capaci-
~ Of servants and are represented as being
very useful to the white population of the
country. tits the opinion Of the Commission
efs that the most feasible plan for the civili-
zation and enlightenment Of the Indians Of
this country is TO permit them to remain in
the neiehborhood of She white settlements,
and to be employed in the varions industrial
pursuits ef the wiiite men These Indians un-
like those on the east side of the Rocky Noun
stains. are not willing, but anxious to adopt the
habits Of civilized life; and for this reason it
was stipulated to pay a large portion. Of their
annuities in clothing. Most Of them have, for
anumber Of years past. been in the habit Of
receiving money for their services. and have a
tolerably correct view of its value. -
The treaty has to be acted upon by the SEN
ate Of the United States. @

nanIel Webster.

Wr. Webster was sixty-nine years old last
February. During the whole active period
Of his life he has risen very early. and does so
still.-oftener up before Eve O'Clock than after
it-and getting through more work before the
majority Of lawyers and statesmen have break
fast than most Of the better sort of them do
in a whole day. Inthe summer season. when
he is at MarshtieId or Franklin, he is general
ly out among his cattle. for his pleasure and
health, By four O'Clock in the morning; and.
in the course Of the forenoon, he often walks
with. his gun on his shoulder. or catches more
tishthan most young sPOrtsmen IN twice the
tthnal S slsp .sss
His spirits are generally fresh, and for his
years gay, except when anxious about the bus
mess of the country his external senses are
uninpaired; he is as quick of hearing as he
ever was, much more so than some men like
to have him; and he can read the finest print
without spectacles as he could at twenty
In short his physical powers are preserved 70
a degree most extraordinary, considering his
age; and, as to his intellectual faculties. his
marvellous memory, the promptness with
which he can command all his resources, his
wise judgment of affairs, his massive power
never SO formidable as when assalied; all
these are untouched, and eli with wonder all
who approach him.
