The Witches, Cauldron.

The Witches CauIdron.
Up about Cleveland the old coon parti-
zans, of all the factions, are just now en-
gagged in getting together a piece Of po-
litical patchwork, which pro omises to equal
in its shades and hues even Joseyh's coat
of old. The Plaindealer thus presents
the affair:
Each faction has anax to grind. Their
mutual pledges run thus:
1st Banks set the ball in motion and
furnish motive power, in the shape of
money donations, to hire lecturers and
stump the State for the Maine Law, with
the repeal of the Tax Law understood.
Cd. Free-soilers go in for 'equal taxa
tion," the Maine Law, and United States
Senator understood.
Sd. Temperance men go for any thing
to get the Maine Law.
If this triple alliance succeeds, three
things have got to be done by the next
Legislature:
1st The Tax Law must be repeal
ed.
Cd. Chase must be reelected.
3D. The Maine Law must be pass
ed.
This is the creed of s'Fusionists," and
there must be no lodging among the fac
tions. If there is no other ticket opposed
to the Democracy, Wings must vote for
Chase. radical Free-soilers for, repeal
and rum dealers for the Maine Law. Go
it blind! Don't talk about consistency,
honesty, or any other policy or principle
that makes up the character Of a man
Disband all political organizations, ac-
knowledge you have always been in the
wrong box; go in for the conglomeration,
and come out, what? That is a very in
teresting question for the future.
The Settlement of Nebraska--An Hour
with the Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs.
Col. Manypenny, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, passed through this city
yesterday, on his way to the Indian coun-
try, having been despatched by Govern
ment to visit the various Indian tribes,
west of Missouri, Minnesota, and Iowa,
examine the condition of the Indians, in
vestigate frauds of Agents, &C., DC. The
present necessity of this mission arises
from the fact, that the whites have enter
ed the Indian territory contrary to treaty,
and have established a sort of provisional
government, granting protection and in
ducing emigration from the States.
A bill to organize the Nebraska terrific
ry was introduced to the United States
Senate, and voted down in consequence
of existing treaties with various Indian
resident tribes, each stipulating exclusive
occupancy to said tribes, and to such 9TH
er friendly Indians as they might permit
to hunt in said territory. A bill was pass
ed, however, authorizing the President to
extinguish said Indian titles by treaty, and
to this end the present Commissioner is
sent.
We asked the Commissioner what he
was going to do with the Indians.
He said that was question which
troubled the President and Cabinet more
than all the Cuban and Costa difficulties
put together. A fine agricultural country
here laid to waste, the whites were set
Ting in it in great numbers, and rapidly
improving it, who could legally claim no
protection from the Government. If the
Indians surrendered their title, there was
no place for them to go. To pay them
money was death to the race, and lands we
have none to exchange.
We inferred the policy would be to ex-
plore, sound the Indians as to their tith
necessities, and wants, and report to the
President in time for some recommended
tons in his first regular message.-Plain
Dealer.
By the mail we have New Orleans pa
