The President has directed Hon. w. Z.
Dale, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to
proceed TO the Indian country to effect an
important treaty with tho hostile and,
peacaable Indians. In his instructions TO
Mr.. Dale, the President says, he deems the
present a fitting time for renewed e1urls 10
p-ess upon the Indians the pressing neces-
sily for Abandoning their wild and rowing
habits, and adopting in their stead the moro
peaceful and industrious arts Of ciyilzsd
life. No longer is there any region Of ter
Titory left within tho United States where
their rude habits and modes of life can pre-
vgii as formerly; they are being pressed
and hemmed in on every side by the sd-
vanCing settlements Of an adventurous and
enterprising people; they must therefore
adapt themselves 10 the now order Of things
and TO live in peace among themselves and
with their Whit neighbOr5 or must newt
ably perish.
The policy of settling them on suitable
reservations, where they may, with the
aid and friendship of the Government be
able subsist themselves by agriculture and
olner industrious pursuits, is left without
an alternative. These views have doubt
less impressed themselves on you during
the period you have had immediate direc-
ti0n OF our Indian reletions and your ex-
perience In treating with Indians and the
familiarity Of their characters seem TO
point you out as the proper officer Of the
Indian Department TO visit the various
tribes in the territories, and enter into
such treaties with them SIS will best aecUre
permanent tranquility on our border and
promote their future welfare and prosperity
Tho commanders of the various military
districts and forts have been instructed 10
co operate with Mr.. Dale, and to render
him all the assistance he may require.
