THE FRIENDS AMONG THE INDIANS

THE FRIENDS AMONG THE INDIANo.
Committee of Friends, appointed at the
yearly Meetings of Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and New-York to visit the Indians under the
care of their denomination in the State Oh ne
braska, has recently made report, IN WHICH,
with much cause for shame, we see also no III
tie cause for confidence. On all the reserya-
tons the complaint seems to have been the
same-tbe whites have swindled the savages
and lied to them so often that no more conf
dence is felt in the civilized race IL was
found, for example that the lowas had MADE
a treaty (now before the Senate) for the sale
of their lands. They STATED emphatically that
:" they did not want the treaty ratified; 1t pas
made tkrough a misunderstanding they had
"been moved, and moved, and moved, and all
"they wished now was to remain where
"they are, have oxen and tools TO work
with, and a farmer to instruct them
chow to do for themselves" The otoes
were found in great distress, owing to the
failure of the Government to keep faith In the
payment of their annuities. VI the oantee
Sioux the Committee say, These poor people
"have been so greatly deceived for many
"many years by false professions and unlul-
." filled promises from the whites, and even
from tho Government, that the time does
"not seem to have arrived for them to feel
" confidence in the assurances we make theh'
On the WinnebagO reservation an lndlan
asked "How can we break up our prairie
without teams, and how can we work our
Gland or build houses without tools Y These
"have been promised, but not supplied" "ln
"evcry council we have held with them un-
"fulGlled promises and treaty stipulations,
"and unsupplied pressing wants, are the
great burdens of which they COM
"plain." Under the conscientious adj
ministration of the disciples of William
Penn, we have reason to hope for ref0rma-
ton. The new agents seem to have entered
into their work with Christian enthusiasm and
a better purpose than making money out OF the
theft of beads and blankets. Under their rule
we trust We shall never again hear such
remark as an old chief made about young
Indian who was tcstifying before Commits
sloncr, " Oh, he tells the truth he has never
" seen a white man before ~ ALL the tribes
whom this committee visited seemed anxious to
pursue an agricultural life and quite capable OF
accommodating themselves TO habits of civiliza-
ionif they could only be secured in the possession
of their lands. And We are pertinently re-
minded that in Canada, where the Indians are
not pushed back on the approach of white set
tiers, but permitted to retain their homes
while the tide of emigration passes by and
surrounds them, we never hear of Indian wars
and massacIcs OF course TO the rowing In
dams of the Plain, this comparison will not
apply in full force. But the experiment OF
treating them with truth and justice has never
been tried. and if only for the sake Of our own
rcputation it seems high time to begin it.

That fastidious newspaper. The Boston Daily

just delivered by Mrs. Lucy Stone in that city.
"She never says the critic, "puts off the

"cency,n adds The Advertiser, that not all
"the women who strut their brief hour on the

average of little more than twenty cents

there are enough of them there, since vultures
