INDIANS In THE FAR WEST.

INDIANS IN THE FAR WEST
No difference Of opinion in regard to the princ-
pies which distinguish from one another the three
or four political parties into which our country is
divided, shall ever prevent us from commencing
what is in our opinion laudable in the course Of
narticular individuals, whether in regard to the for
eigu or interior relations of our country.
. We know Of no portion of the population Of our
continent more entitled to the protection of the
Government, or to the sympathy Of intelligent and
humane people, than the remaining fragments Of the
Indian Races who were only century ago its sole
proprietors and inhabitants. Driven across the
Mississippi by the policy of the Government, the
Red Men from the Atlantic side are met again on
the borders Of the Pacific by the Pale Faces, whom
the annexation of California has tempted thither
in search of gold who already seeking to drive
them as far Eastward into the Interior as we have
heretofore driven them Westward. Encountering
the Whites in the marches and explorations Of the
latter, they have sometimes been shot down in
scores by armed bands Of white men, who after such
a slaughter, come off without the loss Of single
man Such conflicts are known to have occurred
more than once quite recently.
So far from countenancing such enterprises, the
higher authorities Of this Government do every
thing in their power to repress and prevent them.
But the cooperation Of Congress is indispensable to
the success Of any efforts by the Executive to pro-
tec the helpless Indians and to restrain the reckless
and the cruel, as we'll among the Whites among the
Indians Great credit is, in our estimation, due to
those in Congress who, disdainng all selfish con-
sderations, stand up for the weak and prosecuted of
] the Aboriginal tribes.
Without derogating from the merits of others of
this class of Legislators, we may be allowed to say
that we have observed, in casually looking over the
reports of the late Debates in the Senate upon the
Appropriation Bills, that those gentlemen who have
the most intimate personal knowledge of the actual
condition of the Indians-such men, for example, as
Senators STOCKTON, Houston, and GwIN--are the
most prompt and earnest in pleading the cause Of
those remnants of ancient independent nations, who
have, by conquest and by purchase Of the territory
on which they were born, become aoards Of the Uni
ted States, and entitled, by every consideration
of settled law as well as of humanity, to protec
ton. Were our lot cast among the Legislators Of
our country instead of being deprived, are by
our position, of the right to cast vote for any
one Of hem we should endeavor to do in that sphere
our duty in this matter As it is, we can only
exert, as we do now, what little power we have to
direct public attention to it.
With this preface, we take pleasure in introduc-
ing to our readers the following report of short
Speech delivered by Mr.. GwIN in the Senate, on one
of the last days OF the Session.
