tary change takes place in the deal
towards them by the whites, the

additional cause of offence to the

annihilation of the whole race in
State, but an annual sacrifice

FIndians to the cast of Sierra Nevada

luences are operating upon them, is
of the question. And We know of
means that will prevent their utter
nihilalion, save their removal from

lite men. The country Of the ella
