sioux CITY.

The Dubuque Heri7d Of the Goth inst,
contains letter written at this place by
DR.. G. A. Reed. Of Dubuque, one Of the
mmissioners to form treaties with the
Upper Missouri Indians. The Doctor
spent several days here, and his impres-
sions of Sioux City, its business advauta-
ges, &c, are given in the appended ex-
tracts from his letter:
"The City Of Sioux is surrounded with
a chain of hills. not unlike tn. bluffs
which encircle our own city of Dubuque.
The highest of these is about one mile
above the town. From its summit there
is landscape view hardly excellcd in
plcturesqueness, aud extent, by any on
this continent Looking in northwest
er'y direction we have a clear view of tho
Missouri river wcndiag its tortuols course
among the hills as far AS The eye can
reach, the valley covered with dense
forest of Cottonwood trees aud varying in
width from two to three miles, still retain.
ing all its natural beauty and grandeur,
unmarried by the hand of progress and
civilization. On the opposite slope and
meeting among the hills as if for pro,ec-
ton, can be seen the promising little town
of Dakota City. Directly north is the
valley OF the Great Sioux River, which
enpties into the Missouri at this point
and forms the boundary line between
Iowa and Dakota Territory. To the south
and east there ia an almost unlimited
view of one of Iowas broadcast prairies.
"ln business point Of view this is one
OF the best locations in the state As the
last point Of any imp ,rtance on the Mis-
souri,, and just below the mouth of the
Great Sioux River, i, naturally controls a
large share of the trading interest of the
upper country, and Judging from the ap-
parent enterprise Of it's citizens and its
natural advantages Of location we predict
for Sioux City an important future.
The gold discoveries IF Montana Ter
ritory, seem to produce almost us much
excitement here as do the petroleum dis
coveries upon our neighbors farther east.
"Already this spring some thirty five
steamers have passed this point en- route
for the mountains, Or as far in that dircc-
ton as they can possbl, navigate the
river, all heavily laden with men and sup
plies, bound for this comparatively new
field of golden wealth. There ara also
quite large number Of trains starting
across the country on the new overland
route, via Niobrara river. The largest
train which starts from this Place is under
the control of Col. Sawyer, gentleman
OF enterprise and long experience on this
frontier. They will start about the 10Th

ANOTHER VETO.

President Johnson has vetoed the bill
for the admission Of Colorado into the
Union as State. His principal oil Lice
tons to the bill, as expressed in tie veto
message, are that the welfare of the PEG
pie of Colorado does not require a change
Of their form Of government tina. whilst
the people choose their own legislatures,
and representative in Congress, and the
expense devolves upon and is paid by the
General Government; that the popula-
ton is inadequate, numbering according
to the adv coates of the bill, not more
than 10000, and many of these recent
settlers, ready to leave for other mining
counties should they promise more favor.
able results that it is no. satisfactorily
established, that a majority OF the cit.
zens of Colorado derre q change from
territorial to State government. Al the
only election held by authority for the
people to decide for or against State, out
Of GlG2 votes polel, there was MAORI
ty of 3l11 against State. AT subse-
quent election, held without any legal au-
thority, out Of 1906 votes pollel, there
was seeming majority Of l3j in favor of
State. The result Of this latter election
should not be taken rs the sentiment of
the people. His principal objections are
that the admission of Colorado is not de.
manded BY any exigency, political or
commercial; that while it is desirable
that territories should be admitted when
their populations approximate the number
required for member Of Congress in the
organized States, it is evident that TO al.
NIT Colorado with her b 00) or ID, 900
inhabitants and thereby give her one re-
preventative aud two senators in the Con,
gress of the United States, would place
her in the u. S. Senate On the same foot
ing with New York with her 600, 900
and do manifest injustice to that equality
which should exist among the States Of
the Union.
The message throughout is terse, clear
and argumen.ative, and evinces the wis.,
dom and craftsmanship Of the President
Apart from the constitutional bearings
Of this veto message, it has a political
significance that is very distasteful to
the radicals. 1t nips in the bud one of
the pet schemes OF the radical distruc
tionists to place in the United States
Senate two more tools to aid Sumner,
Wilson, Wade, Grimes & Co in their ne
farious work of damniag our country to
everlasting infamy.

that the planters came forward and upheld his
