|, , Ii Is we'll known fact that Sam Houston ha
ever sided with the Indians, whcrs the rights q
the white man and Indian were in dispute an
his votes in Congress show this to be the case
In order To satisfy our frontier citizens, ws wi
= give some quotations from the speeches of Sa
Houston ON the subject of the frontier protection
In his speech in the Senate ia January, 1855
In referring q the mossacre at Fort Laramie an
the character Of the United States troops he sal,
"These gallant gentlemen thought thev sloul
60 ana make war, They are paid for 1t; Il
their vocation. Are such men entitled 10 syr
pathy Are they entitled to respect But tici
conduct charmed the Sioux; and because thu
tribe proposed to confederate with other tribe,
wo ars asked 70 increase the military force: for
sOoth, We are " wage war upon the winds, ia
you hght rs well do it as upon the prairie In
dians-'
In 1850, when our frontier was being ravago
by the lndians, and the bill came up to acccI
the services Of any numbcr, not exceeding 800
volunteers, to be organized into companies, &c
to protect us, Sam Houston voted against, an
Rusk for it.
Finally, on the same day, the following amend
ment was adopted:
! "SEc.-Be IL further enacted, That to enabl
the President of the United States to carry int
effect the provisions o so much of this act us re
lates to the employment of an additional military
force, such sum OF money, not exceeding -
dollars, as may he necessary, be, and the same is
hereby appropriated out of any money in the
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated"
The blank was filled up with the sum of 50 .5O0,-
900. The vote ON the bill was finally taken
Here it is:
"Ihc President.-If no further amendments be
proposed. the question will now be on engross-
ing the amendments, and ordering tho bill to a
third reading.
"Nlr. Houston.-On that question l cali for
the yeas and nays.
"The yeas and nays were ordered: and being
taken, resulted-yeas 80, nays I; as follows:
"YEAs-Messrs Allen, Bell, Benjamin, Brod
head, Brown, Cass, Clayton, Dawson, Dodge of
Wisconsin, Dodge of Iowa, Douglas, Evans, Fitz-
patrick. Gwin, Hunter, James, johnson, Jones

Reid, RUSK, Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Stuart,
roucey, Wells and Wrght-32.
"NAys-Messrs. Chase, Gillette, HOUSTON,
Braincrd, Seward, Sumner and Wade-7.'
Every man who voted nay, was Black Repuj.
Lican
By the Proclamation of President Pierce an
extra session OF Congress was called in August.
1886, to take into consideration the defence Of
our frontier against indians, who we're murder
ing men, women and children. besides destroying
property and keeping the frontier q wilderness;
on motion for passing the bill for the suppress
ion Of Indian hostilities, then brought up to a
third reading, the following is the official pro-
ceedlngs
"Mr Houston.-On that question l call for
the yeas and'nays.
'sIhe yeas and nays were ordered; and being
taken, resuleed-vyeas 81, nays /; MS follows
"YEAs-Nlessrs. Allen, Bell, Benjamin, Brol,
head, Brown, Cass, Clayton, Dawson, Dodge Of
Wisconsin, Dodge OF Iowa, Douglas, Evans, Fitz-
patrick, Gwln, Hunter, James, johnson, Jones

Reid RUSi<, Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Stuart,
Ioucey, Weller, Wells and Wright.-32.
"NAYs-Mossrs. .Brainerd, Chase, Gillette,
HOUSTON. Seward, Sumner and Wade.
Thus it will be seen that every man who voted
with Sam Houston against frontier protection,
was either Free Soiler or an Abolitionist.
Here again we see Sam Houston voting with
the most notorious Abolitionists and Free Soers
against our frontier protection Yet his Know
Nothing supporters have the cool eilrontery to
assert that he would, II elected Governor, pro-
tect our ironter settlers we are down upon
such miserable hypocrisy.
Here are the iacts ana iSures' Let the oPpo-
sitlon attempt Il DENIAL Let our frontier citizens
&C., come ID their own cohclusion'-'Saa Aato"'o
