To he Editor Of The Silr..-
You are entirely correct in your ed toral article Of
tie zdd ihst relative to the elects which the refusal
on the part Of the senate to act upon the treaties made
with them, would and have had upon the Indian
tribes Of the Northwest. | said to Senator'S at the
time, that the rejection or even nonactou on the part
Of the Senate would be almost certainly followed by
open outbreak and war on the part of the Indian
tribes There was in fact no good reason for the re.
lection OF the treaties which reported for ratca-
ton to the Senate by the able chairman Of the Com.
mlttee on Indian Affairs, Senator Sebastian,) who
had thoroughly investigated each one whilst not one
tenth Of the Senators had ever looked into them aud
refused to do so.
The Republican members Of the Senate were on.
POSED to the ratification of the treaties with the Sioux
west of Minnesota, north and northwest Of Nebraska
and Iowa, because, forsoOth the raHcation Gas some
Of them were heard to say) would he followed by the
establishment Of the Territory of Dacotah and that
would give more patronage to the President And
one or two Southern Senators objected because il
would lead to the formation of another free State in
the Northwest and be the source OF more sectional
feeling, disposition the part of the Northern
men-actonists-tO oppress the Southern States;
what, ! am free TO admit, is and has leen too much
the case. And this feeling will continue to distract
the councils Of the nation until the friends Of the Com
stitution and Of the Union, IN The NORTH shall put
down and tIampe under foot the intermeddling, on
the part of Northern abotonist3 in their midst with
the institutions Of the South {. the slavery Ques-
