A large number of the Sisseton and
Warpeton Indians were assembled at
Traverse des Sioux recently, clamorous
for their money, goods and provisions
under the new treaty. Their attentive
Agent, Maj. M'Lean, was upon the
ground, using his endeavors to keep them
in patience and alleviate their immediate
wants. Gov. Ramsey also visited the
Traverse at the same time, to give coun-
sci and allay excitement. The Indians
say the time is up, and they want their
money. Living in expectation of this
the past year, they have made scarcely
no exertion, by way Of hunting and rails

coed in marching Frank Pierce into the
White House, over the dead body of
England's humiliator and Mexico's con-
queror, he knows it will be all day with
appropriations for the Minnesota or any
other river. These are the very kind of
appropriations that Pierce always voted
against when in Congress, and is pledged
to veto should he succeed TO the Presi
dency. The man who deliberately voted
against thousands for the improvement of
the Ohio and Mississippi. upon constitu-
tional scruples, could certainly not be ex-
pected TO give his sanction to the i'm

Democrat editor himself give the full
approval of his judgment" to the sug-
gestion he here throws out to Mr.. Sib-
