Esop, in his fat Of the stag and the dies, wished
convey the idea that il the then existing officials
Of State who had been well gorged from the public

would be ''hungry and rapacious" as to suck out
all that remained. Little Grow, on the contrary,
wished to convey the idea that the Indians had suck
ed all the blood from the present 'incumbents, and
they DESTROYS to be provided with new set.
All great men should have the control of patronage,
and Little Crow has few friends that he is now
sucking with the promise Of his Influence with the
Government. If they could farm for the Indians as
well as they supply their patron with whskey, they
would be invaluable in the agricultural department Of
