Mr.. Gallons Territorial NIL.
Enron or REPUBLICAN, A writer, who
docs not favor the public with his name,
appears In your columns yesterday Civ.
ing, or pErportlng to give, detailed state
ment Of a bill introduced In the House Of
Representatives b. Mr. .CuAom, Of Illinois,
to establish territoriai government over
the Indians. Thu bill Is Identical In syery
essential particular, with a bill Introduced
BY hr'Van HON, Of Missouri. As that
bill has already been discussed, TO some OK
tent, and will be further eluoidated In a few
days BY a publication, In press, Of the Cher
okee delegation, IL Is not necessary to cay
much about 1t now. When members Of the
Senate and House are placed 10 possession
OF AL the facta, thoywhl7 be able to deter

The wisdom OF the present Is to outweigh
all the wisdom OF the past, aud our Indian
policy, so long acquiesced In, Is to be treated
as a myth. Such was the former public
sentiment OF this country that General Jack
son, with all his great name and influence,
dared not attempt to force the Indians from
Georgia and North Carolina until he pro
cured the semblance Of treaty, sigued b,
men who were unauthorized to execute It
agreeing that they should move west of tn
Mississippi. Even then, when he forcet
them to 60 at the point Of the bayonet, tn
moral and religious sentiment OF the worlt
cried out for shame They SURRENDERED
lands now worth from one to two hundred
millions of dollars, and were forced 10 tax,
