peace with tho coEqvrsd sioux Of Minnasnta s'ith-
that State anticipate, and as H ac:i ion Of General
popc insrllcs.- Difpatch Of this 7ora>
inV
Day before yesterday, re understand, that
G:D. pcpe telegrapheu to Washington tne
finding of the court martini in the
case Of tie Sioux convicted Of participating ID
the recent mu:sacre and other outrA,es ni,O1
cur people; and this, We suppose, is the IN
swer-
1t is an answer which, If authenticated, will
fali Ike thunacroo!t OF doom on every home
in Mink eEota-an answer which, it there were
no appeal from it, would dcpoin:ase every
acre oI lis soil.
Thank God there is On appeal from it-au
arpsal TO a poTcr abore presidents and cabi-
nets--tEe powtr Of people banded as oue
mn in defense Of their hcarttsiCles; to
law above ali mws-the law Of 6eH-preserra-
tiou.
The people Of this Sta; c walt only to know
the tira1 and authoritative decision OF the
government in this matter.
If it refusts them its protection, let it be
assured thfy sriH project Me7A>e1ees. They will
protect Themselves to tic last tXircmity!
Nhati hae life, then, become 20 cheap IN
America and the wasted blood OF its citizens
OF so little account, that murder has ceased to
be Q crime? TUE blood Of tise hundred bus,
bands and wives and brothers and sisters and
daughters, cry to the authorities for YEN
geance On their assassips, and these tat and
| oily 1unctionaries coo41y telegraph back to the
| waiilng homes which these arch demons have
| left desolste, that "eftorts are b-in5 mad: to
| secure permanent peace with the Conquered
Sioux Of Minnesota"
| Is government mad? Do tlezc sleek
Scribes and rharisees Of depar! r!alvu:s-cosilE
| sitting with feet on fender, 1000 miles away
from Indian bullets, and 500, ,00U bxTonets
| around then. TO Keep t1em safe from nearer
fHEC ia
than fleirss
IA permanent peace with the conquered
| Sioux,n is it? Not, by the Lord in Haven,
is rte vow OF 20v, 600 Au,erican cf:iz.ns. Oh
| tile Soil uf 1flnnt eota, and not on any soil at-
joining it, except through the death Of the
guilty and tic removal Of every surviving
thred md rempant OF this hated race.
Thisi is no longer the petition Of tue people OF
| MiLneso ota. 1tis their demaud-a denland which
they will txact to the list ret1ibutive drop Of
lndien h1oud; and they wil moi stop wsen
THY shall take-Gf they are left to take)-ths
wotk OF ysngs auce in their own hsnds-they
win no+ stop 10 measure Justice b5 the rule
and square, and makt a Etce adjustment Ut
the account Ct blood. TheF arc not in tempsr
Tor delicate balsncfng Of evidence, Or ju'
| dicial 6iscrlmaiOn Of the degrees OF guilt.
Il the government wants wholesale hanging
by the acre; If the5 want the western plaiai
turned into wide Go1gotha Of dead Indians
if they want them hunted down Ike WILD
beasts, from the face OF the continent, they haC
better refuse 10 perform the act Of justics
which the people OF this State demand, arr
turn the Ilshziyed cTimluass over 10 t1el
/ victims.
We ask tie government, then, in tbs nam'
0! humanity, to lake the work OF punishman
in its own hands. If they .ould s:ve th'
inpocent-if they would save the citizens Q
in this broad continent, any small Eemains 9
confidence in the protection Of its 1a~s-i
they would ssSc the Northwest from an India,
war Of ycare' duration, Which uiili.uns OF dol
lars y IL not coucluGc-they will see to it tha
justice has uoE It's full and final Course.
