weakness. If any political party, after
three successive terms of the admins
tratfon of governmental power, has need
OF such profusion OF promise, evidently
Tor the purpose Of securing votes to per-
petuate its existence, it is within the
pale of possibility that the country will
survive lts defeat, and go forward to the
accomplishment of its high destiny with
out the official guardianship of such q
party.
1 am persuaded that the Cincinnati
platform does not differ very widely in
declaration of principle from the Phila-
delphia instrument, and that all voters,
of whatever political opinion, can stand
upon it without sacrifice Of principle,
and support the Liberal Republiou n
nominees without qualification. And I
consider the endorsement of these candi-
dates by other than the Cincinnati Con.
vention as additional evidence of their
aoceptability to the American people.
I believe it to be the duty as we'll as
the right of every American citizen to
exercise his political prerogative freely
and fearlessly; and, on occasion, give
fall expression to his sentiments, while
carefully respecting the same duty and
rights in all other men. And that, in go
vernments like ours, all effort to control
the political action of the citizen by
GLASS, caste, or sectional prejudice for in
dividual, factional, or partisan aggran-
dizement, if successful to any extent and
through any considerable period of time,
will inevitably tend toward the subver-
sion Of the very objects for which CO.
operative or Republican governments
are formed.
In the performance of this duty as a
citizen, and in the exercise OF this un-
doubted right, shall. in my humble
sphere. advocate the obliteration of old
party lines and the sustenance of q new
party. 80 composed as to give promise of
successfully mastering the problems of
the present and future, under the
leadership of that grand old veteran of
equal rights, Horace Greeley, whose
record and whole life is a sufficient
guaranty that the rights of all men will
be protected under his administration.
am not unmindful of the utter in
Significance of my effort in this direo-
ton. Neither do imagine for one mo-
mens that my opinion will affect the
general result. Nevertheless, shall en-
deavor 10 perform my whole duty, and
shall accept cheerfully all the oonse-
quences. Very respectfully,

Cor contempt or THIS anu other promises

II this Convention WAS the concen-
trated voice of the Republican party,

Federal statute provisions. I do not
question the wisdom Of this eminently
capable and respectable body, nor do T
doubt the sincerity Of these declarations; !;

THE GREAT INDIAN coUNcL-A TOTAL FAILURE.

THE GREAT INDIAN COUNCII-A TOTAL FAILURE.
To me Edftor Of The Tribune.
SIR The lOng-talked-of and much-depended
on council Of all the Indians which convened at Fort
Cobb recently has last brought its prOracted session
70 close 1t was in session about u days, and has
complished what absolutely nothing, at least in the in
teress Of peace The council characterized. on one
side by earnest appeals for peace and reconciliation,
coupled with bOuntifu issue of rations consisting OF
beef -four sugar, and coffee; and on the other,
nv demands urged in an insolentiy defiant
ner the granting Of half Of which would give the
tire country west Of the Mississippi and east of
the Rocky Mountains up TO rapine and murder.
There were delegates from all the Indians whose
reservations or nations in the Territory. The
Kiowas were represented by 80 Of their prominent
head men. among whom were Kicking Bird aud Lone
Wolf These two the most influential Of all the
tribe The former supposed 10 represent whatever OF
friendly feeling toward the whites there exists among
the Kowas but his following is In hopeless minority
and he consequently had nothing TO at the powwow
Lone Wolf the contrary, did cheap of talk" He is
reoognized and justly So the leader of all the turbu
lent spirits the tribe who for war to the knife and
no compromise unless their demands acceded to- He
was Put forward al occasions by his eonerrees as tho
peculiar exponent Of the principles peculiarly klOwa
and consequently sustained very prominent part in the
deliberations Of The council His very modest demands
briefly stated, were-arst, the removal OF Fort Sill
second the extension OF the limits OF the reserVauoh
from the RIO Grande 10 the Missouri River; and third
and last to use his language, want to see the
faces OF Satanic and Big Tree right here then II will be
time enough talk about peace" This is the umatum
according to Mr. Lone Wolf and your readers rest
assured 1t is the sentiment OF majority OF the Kowas.
and that they will act accordingly 1t will be perceived
that their very modest requests give but very lit
tie evidence OF an overweening desire for peace.
The Indian Agent here Mr.. Tatum, has long since be-
come convinced that the policy pursued by the Govern
Inent is not the true one For his advocacy OF more
stringent measures he has several times been severely
reprmanded by the Society of Friends, and after his
experience at Fort Cobb he will be belligerent
than ever The prospect is he will either be removed or
forced to resign. We shall regret parting with him, as
he is very capable, and, above all thoroughly incor-
ruptble man As matters stand now Winter cam

most important affair considered being the invitation
extended to the President and his Cabinet by the Chat

city and Lookout Mountain. This matter was invested
with the dignity OF a written reply which this evening
was forwarded TO exGOv. Bard and wherein the PreS
dent declines the invitation kindly the ground OF the
impracticaby Of its acceptance and the pressure OF
previous engagements. Notwithstanding the forced
decuatOn 10 visit Chattanooga, and Lookout Mountain

that still the whole country may prosper, and may
become united once
