The Presidents has directed the Hon.
W. P. Dale, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, to procsed to the indian country
to effect important treaties with hostile
and peaceabe Indians. In his instruc-.

tory left within the United States where
their rude habits and mode Of life can
prevail as formerly. They are being
pressed and hemmed in on every side by
the advancing settlements Of. an adyen-
furious and epterprising people, and they
must therefore, adapt themselves to the
new order Of things, and live in peace

neighbors, or they must inevitably per-
ish. The policy Of settling them upon
suitable reservations where they may,
with the aid aud frisn dship of the Gov
eminent, be able to subsist themselves
by agriculture and other industrious pur-
suits, is left without alternative. These

have had the immediate direction Of our
Indian relations, and your experience iu
treating with the Indians, and familiarity
with their character seem to point you
out as the proper officer of the Indian
Department to .yisi. tn. various Indian
tribes IN the Territories, and to enter
into such treaties with them as will best
secure permanent tranquility on our Dor
ders, and promote their future welfare
and prosperity"
