past month of the chiefs Of the Chippewa and
Wnnebago Indians, who have just concluded
a treaty for the disposal Of their lands west OF
Lake Superior. They had an interview with
the President and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs on Friday last, when Falmouth PI-
lager Chippewa, told the President That two
great men there met That the whites were
often accused Of cheating the Indians, but that
this time the Indians had cheated the Com
missioner; for they had sold him tract OF
land for good deal of money which was
worth but little At this the President and
Commissioner laughed heartily, and the chiefs

OrEn AMERICAS ORGANlzATIoN.-The Know
Nothing paper in Boston has come out in favor
Of an open organization of its party, and de-
c'ares its belief that for the safety and pcrpctu
alton of the American party such a course is
an actual necessity. With regard to the most
prominent persons now before the order for
nomination to the Presidency, as they arc af-
fected by the secret mode of operations, the
editor says:
An evil result Of the secret action Of pomt-
zeal party is its liability to sacrifice principles
to men. This is an evil from which the Amer
lean party is in no wise exempt, as We pro-
pose to show "by way of illustration" In
judicious partizans of a certain prominent man
have so well succeeded in coupling his name
with term well understood by every member
oi the secret American party, that the public
outside, look upon the Hon. SAM Houston as
the head and front of the American party
as the only exponent of its principlcs-as its
only eligible candidate for the Presidency. In
measure it has already become, not marty
of principles, but the party Of man; and for
the imperfcctons of that man, whoever he NAV
be, the party must consequently suffer. This
state Of things has naturally excited the jcal-
ousy of the partizans of another prominent
citizen and we find that Stockton Clubs arc
being secretly organized in every part of the
Union This of course will arouse the friends
OF others, and unless this evil is checked, We
shall soon find that instead of working together
as unit, for the advancement of importan
principles, the American party will be divided
and subdivided into partizan clans for this, tina
and the other man until its total destruction
Is accomplished
