had never heard the gospel. After prayer by

was introduced, and said he was satisfied that,
after seeing the works of the white man. the
Great Spirit is helping them, and he hoped that
the Great Spirit of the white man would help
the red men.
Buffalo Goad, of the Wichitas tribe, said this
country was given to the Indian, and when the
white man came the Indian helped him; now
the white man gets rich, and the Indian poor.
He didn't know how this was, unless it was
from the better medicine of the white man, and
he now wanted to take the white mans medi-
cine.
Mr.. Stuart hoped the day was not far distant,
when, on the floor of such conventions there
would be delegations of Arapahoes, CheyenueS,
&C., and Little Raven in the chair. (Applause.)

thanks for the manner in which the delegates
had been received.
