Further Remarks on the Indian Question

zona arc, of necessity, compelled Co defend our selves against white men as well as rcd. The Apache hcnds have been making friends, aidcrs md abcttors, Of persons claiming to be civilized white men, bnt whose hearts firmly believe | are blackcr than the hinges Of Tophct; vcr than ! those Of the red murdercrs whose cause they pouse, or grecdier, for gain, than the vcst cotton spccula,or or camp.follower that ever lowered | around the wings of and ds.raccl the Army of ! the southwest Formerly, these base wrctchcs let ms severely alone, to get along as best could, with the Apachcs. But now. when Gov. Crnmcut suows disposition Co aid us in our life and death struggle with the worst trihe Of lndi. an, the continent, ali the vile wrctchcs sneak ! iHg towards and sInctimOuioUs hypOCritcs in the country dcnOuuCe Us and cause, and cXtol our ! savage enemies, Tor reasons beet known to them ] selves. bus which, iu the mpanmc, we are per ! frctly conversaui with. First, come those Gun | Ser uuions Of the Indian Parker. whom Prrsi. ] dent Grant, true io lis lrycling instincts | has placed at thc head of tuc Indian Bu. rcau, 10 settle questions between the great white race that rules and govern, the world and the last | vicious remnant ot a Bcdoun race, to which he (Parkerl Is allied hy blood, and for whom. he, un. | doub,cdly. has more love thau man In bis post. ! ton should have. Aud wby, in Huaycn's naluc should not this hc the case. For, where is the ! lndian-savnge or ciyilizcd--who does pot, at | heart, hate all whtcss And, Nho, We ask. know. | ing tbe nature of the savage. stock can blame | them for tbls. Have they rot. iu obedience, to some great fiai Of Inc Creator, been driven from | New England by Gods chOs, Il people," tue DO. ble. scifslcrhcing Puritans then, from the south ! hy " Christian" Cavaliers. and lastly, from the | Western States by The descendants of both Puri- | ians and Cavaliers! many or whom, now tlrai | they are freed irom the presence of Inc Indian,
 bemoin his sad fate; {" riise their eyes. iu holy horror, whenever they hear Of justice having been
 mvted out 10 a red murderer. thief, or both. This | class, which VIC Wul term the Quaker class, is ! tta mn frgfu nF and | fools. The knaNes are those who run, or hold pos siiions under, the Indian Department inc fools, ! those who have read COOpers novels; tiie New | York Tribune, and other pow dercd" productions ! Of "crackcd,' anticipated writers; and such | friends and acquainiances of the Quaker Indian
 agents as believe tbelr assertions about the ludi- | ans or are partially bcnt fitted by the "sayiugs"
 oi office, Of their sleek ffieuds at Washington, l and in the Indian country. The next class is l madc up Of green, worthless, army officers. not A | few of whom have served their country well and
 iathiully, but who from old age, old rye, the old | scratch or sone other old thiBg. have tcvoine | worthless, etleninate, and crszed SorshipPcrs oi ! bronzed stragcs
 The hypocrites are those who, knowing the ! character of Inc Indians, take sides with them, | against their own race, some out of pure wick ] cduess, others, on account Of the mik of hu. ! u an kindness, which, Il they but knew it, they 1 are throwing away on tbe Apaches.
 ! Here, then, powerful forces for us to con. | tend against, and were our cause other than just u l just our will tO conquer Is good the prize ~ ! are contending for Is great; and the American l people cannot now do otherwise than hep us Io
 hsht ihe great battle or civilization; to overthrow 1 tnc barharlns and teach them that white suprcfL- l acy, even tn Arizona, is drcrecd Of God.
 But 10 enlist them fully, in our cause, it is nec-
 essary for us 10 enlighten them little regarding
 the nature oi the light, and those who started n.
 This will, necessarily, De an uphill business
 ing 10 the sad fact that majority of Eastern and ] VIC may say. Western writers, side with tbc Qua.
 kcrs; the miserable, spiteful Army officers the murderous savage. and, we must presume, tbe devil. All those forces, together, not sutfi. cent io frighten American pioneers, and We Oi Arizona will advance our standards Tn spite of the devil and all his imps. We no Praise God Barebones" people: neither are VIC of an
 un-gody, yindictlve sort; our motto is "thc gold,
 silver, etc, Of this land, good and plenty" and | VIC are going to mine them out, and, of course send them East for things stand greatly in
 need oi. This, the Apaches do not wish us tO do and so much the worse for he Apache, for soon- | CT or later, h. stubbornrss upon this point will bring sad calamiics upon hGa.
 This is our country mot his. American blood
 and treasure secured it from Mexico, country
 which even to this day, has never asserted. sc-
 knowledgrd or believed that Apache Indian
 had any rights which a bloodhound ought to
 respect. But willing to do the fair thins
 by the red devils, indeed we have always been
 ready to do that Yes, to scaiIlns them
 when they deserved it. The Territory Is plenty
 large for tiiein and u- aud H they will but iet u.
 aloher We will not interfere wlih them. But this
 arrangement, VIC lear, they will never thick of
 entering into until after they are thoroughly
 whipped and subdned Should that time ever
 come, VIC will neither insult them by sending
 Mexican carpei-baggcrs 10 rule over and Oppress
 them; nor will we pass odious laws, 10 deprive
 them oi their inaiienable right 10 shoot arrows
 at deer, chase lizards, catch rats with crooked
 sticks; nor will We, If in our power to prevent h.
 allow hypocriiical Indian agents to rob and de
 fraud them. They have been, yet, sneakng cowardiy devilish foes yei, soon as the last
 kick is out of them. Arilonans will he more ner. ciiu to them than they ever think of being

 arUOug whom we are sorry to have to class Gen
 eral George Stoneman, who, we see, has recently
 spun most internal, spiteful yarn to George Al.
 fred Townsend, correspondent of the Chca. O
 Tribune. MT. Townsend "iutcrviewed the General and the General. are sorry 10 say,
 made worse than breyct mule Of himself; by.
 First-stating that Many traders of this Ter.
 riiory "sell arms and ammunition to the very
 Apnches they exclaim against" and that :" they will do more for dollar and less for patriotism l and seiidefence than any people in the Union :"
 All Of which, with oar kfSow.edgu of said tratier, we pronounce huge joke" or a huger no such
 q thing.
 seeond-"Tbere are not 900 white men in the Territory, and for every white mans defence 5 there are two soldiers" Admitting these two as | sertions to be facts which they are not General s Stoneman ought to be conrt-martialcd for not
 having defended those 900 whites with his 2 900
 soldiers, as it Is wcllknOwn that white men, and , "eolored men,, were DeveF, before or since as
 poorly protected as they were while he held the contract for prOirecting them.
 Third" He cut down tbe expenses of the de- . partlnent From three millions 10 little over q million; and refused 10 ask for more troops ,'
