ganization, that bas not a single element in
il TO give strength or endurance. lis secrecy

We regard the defeat Of Governor Bisler

The Territory of Neosho.


Whers is The territory OF Neosho is quite
aqueslion very likely TO be asked by our
readers just at this time. The following
statement in answer TO the question, we
gather from an article in the New York
Eusning Post of Friday last, tlsl iqs,) -
A bill was reported near the close of the
last session of Congress, by r. w. Robinson,
Senator from Arkansas, for the organiza-
ion OF q new territory between the 34,h and
37lh degrees of latitude, and The Oath and
100 degrees Of long,ude-a tract of about
43, 900 600 acres lying between the Red riv-
or of Louisiana and the southern boundary
of Kansas--io be called Neosho. This terri
tory is about two hundred miles long from
north to south, and about tour hundred from
east 10 west, and covers an area larger than
the Sla,e OF Ohio aud New Jersey. The
climate corresponds with that of east Ten.
nesse ono of the finest climates in the
world and the soil is like that of southern
Kansas, equally fertile and better supplied
with wood and water The country is at
present outside OF any territorial organiza.
ton, and has been allotted by succession
of treaties 10 the Cherokee, Creek, Chociaw,
Chickasaw and Seminole Indians, whp mum.
Der about sixty thousand souls.
The Indians are all shareholders. A few
years since, the Greeks held about four
hundred slaves, and the entire negro popu.
latioE OF the five tribes is estimated at abou,
two thousand.
The Choctaws and Cherokees call all m en-
abolit,onists who teach their slaves 10 read
and write, and have forbidden their mission
aries from perpsiraling any such misdemean.
ors within their borders
The territorial bill, as framed by Mr.. Joans
son, contains several singular provisions.--
He proposed 20 organize the territory ol
Cherokee, including the country held by the
Chetokees, of Muskogee, or the Creek and
Seminole disiric, and of Chahia, Including
the cessions to the Choctaws, Chickasaws--
three territories, TO be controlled, as at pres.
ent, by the Indians themselves, while the
payment OF salaries and other civil expenses
is made burhsn upon the treasury OF tbs
United States that nothing in the constlln-
ton "shall be so construed as TO abrogate
change, alter, or impair the constitution or
laws, or the customs or usoges haUing the
force of lav, of either of said nations of In
dians;" that no white men, or other Indians,
shall be allowed to settle or trespass on any
OF said lands, east OF the one hundre,h par
allel of west Longitude, t,thout the consent Of
The legislature of the proper territory, and in
pursuance of laws by it enactsd that oil
the free citizens Of the said several nations,
to wit: the Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles, ,
Chociaws and Chickssaws, resident, or
hereafter coming into and settling in said
