But they justly object to being despoied Of
their lands. under the color OF railroad grants
and being placed under the yoke Of a set OF hAr-
pies. Ii is direct violation OF all existing
treaties between them aud the government.
They have done everything that Law in their
power to fulfil their share of the obligations Of
the treatiss and it ID but right that they should
demand the same from ourgoyernment. Ireach-
cry towards them now, when honestly STRIVING
to become useful aud peaceable members OF
society. is no less iuhuman than the policy OF
annihiating the entire race with fire and sword
We can hardly blame the yindlcuveness OF the
eAyaRes on the Plains when we consider that
their'civilized brethren are outraged and perse-
cuted in a similar manner in the settlements as
signed them by the government

lFrom the N. Y. worid.l
The National Democratic Convention will as
semble at Baltimore week from tomorrow !
and we are reluctantly constrained to believe
that it will nominate Horace Greeley as the
Democratic candidate for President. Most OF
the State Conventions for appointing delegates
to Baltimore have been held, and It seems tOler-
ably clear that Mr. Greeley will haye atwo thirds
majority on the first ballot. Our readers know
how earnestly we have deprecated sneh a result;
but as this preposterous nomination seems
fixed " we suppose we must make the best OF
it. Mr. Greeley is going to Baltimore without
any competitors Mr.. Hendricks has virtually
committed himself to Greeley by consenting to
run as the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Indiana in close conjunction with the Greeley
movement Governor Seymour has publicly, and
Chief Justice Church privately indorsed this
strange proposal Governor Randolph, who, 30
long as there was any hope, was its most active
and jealous opponent, has given in Mr.. Thur
mans friends and Mr.. Pendletons friends make
no sign MIR. Kerr, who was perhaps the most
thoroughly dsgusted OF our able Democratic
statesmen has accepted the situation; and even
Mr.. Voorhees, has withdrawn his opposition.
The retreat of the Democratic press has not
been quite so complete. The Boston Post, the
Hartford Times, the Philadelphia Age, the
Washington Patriot and several leading South
ern papers, which secuted the Cincinnati nOmi-
nation at first have, one by one succumhed to
the inevitable the Chicago Times, Detroit FIRE.

Democratic allies OF The World 10 opposing Mr.
Greeley. ......-Ha-
1t is therefore pretty we'll settled feet that
there will be but two candidates in the field In
this Presidential election, and that citizens must
choose between voting for Grant, voting fol
Greeley, and staying away from the polls. Fol
our part we shall advise nobody to vote fnl
Grant and az between the remaining atera
tive OF voting for Greeley or staying at home
we have no counsel to offer. Our own duty and
that of Democratic citizens may perhaps more
clearly appear after the CANVASS has made somt
progress.
