cast such thick gloom over this portion

industrial energies of our people, and driv-
ing the agricuIturist, with his family, from
his home to seek safety and protection in
forts and block-houscs. On Saturday eve
ming lie delivered an address at the hall Of
the House Of Representatives to an I'M

marked attention, but frequently Interrupt

Now that the Governor has returned,
and resumed the functions of his Office, a

EDIroR PIONEER & DEMocRAr:-,
Dear Sir:-Our whole party arrived
in good health at New York, after pas
sage from San Francisco of 4days. The
steamers going to and returning from the
states, are crowded beyond the point Of
comfort. Almost oil, our passengers from
San Francisco, contemplated returning
to the Pacific 1t would appear Chat
our people make the voyages to and fro
with as little care and reluctance, as the
citizens of Cinciuatti or Louisville have iu
visiting New York or Boston. have moi
forgotten my fellow citizens in Washington
Territory and continue TO feel the greatest
interest in their welfare. The war that
threatens your Gresides awakens Oh my zeal
in yonr behalf and l have not been idle OF
derelict in my efforts to advance your means
Of defence. Your delegate, Anderson, is
wide awake to his duties and will obtain
hope tardy justice to onrsufering territory
He will satisfy your best hopes. '7o .'"as
opened the Herald This morning to read
the news from Washington and Oregon ter.
ritories, and was shocked to see quota.
tious from. the Courier at Steilacoon, il
which the whites are made responsible fol
the Indian difficulties. Is it wise in the
Courier when our citizens are being mur
dered and butchered, to furnish our enemies
excuses for their atrocities, and also weak
en- the moral force of those, who are here
laboring to arouse the indignation and ven
geance ofihc native against the murderous
savage. Here is the quotation as clipped
from the Herald. : .pr U..
"None but the Americans have used them wrong
fully and they, not ALL hut many, and those mostly
whom the Indians dcnominae fyts have done 1t with
vengeance, robbed them Of their lands and treated
them than slaves as brutos, and in act bcen the
cause Of these dificulties.h ....r
This is wholly erroneous so far as my ex-
perience goes. During my residence in
your territory, was always struck with
the uniform forbearance Of the whites, in
their dealings with the Indians As for
the treaties formed by Gov. Stevens, all
that the Indians obtained BY the terms
thereof, was clear gain to them. The res
idence of the whites among them has been
means of furnishing them with commerce
and the comforts of life. 1t is true the ig-
norant Indian has perverted the gifts Of
civilization and has received disease aud
death in return. This was IOt however the
fault Of civilization or its gifts, but Of the
