Territory, council composed of repre-
lwelling in that portion of our country
che tribes, or nations. represented are the
/ CherOkets, Choctaws, Greeks, OttaWas,
Eastern Pawnees, Quapaws, Senecas
Wyandottes, Pcorias, Sacs and Foxes
DsleSates from other of the semi-civilezei
ana even from sohac of the savage tribes
are expected. The object of the council
is the formation OF u government for the
lnulars; confederation of the various
tribes. 1t is, IN short, the formation Of
governmental unity out of sundry and
apparently conflicting interests lit ia
the American system-epLurl6uS u7susu-
| by which the different sovereisnties OF
| different cemmonwealths are subnrdina
tied, IN respect to matters affecting the
genera welfare and safety of all, to an
universally recognized central authority.
The movement of the Indians in this
direction will naturally, therefore, it
should seem, obtain the sympathies OF the
American people. They will surely give
the experiment their good wishes Thus
far, the Council has been harmonious and
successful. Special Commissioners
Farwell, Campbell. and Long, who have
been In attendance report avnrably Of
the proceedings, and express confident
nope IN respect to the future, herein be-
ing in harmony with General Parker,
| Commissioners of Indian Affairs, who has
also been present. 1t is presumed that
the draft of a constitution. with bill of
rights, provisions for executive, legi>la-
tive, ami judicial department OF govern
ment, for the proposed confederation W II
be adopted ny the present council, and
submitted to he tribes for their ap-
prevail.
The friends of humanity will look upon
tins movement of lie Indians with great
and earnest Interest The Indian poilcy
of the United States, thus lar has been,
upon the Whole, no less than shameful tn
the government and criminal in the sight
of heaven. 1t, at last, we shal suceeeeiin
