prehension Of the principle involved anC
the object sought to be accomplished
None Of tho objections urged against this
bill were good. The Seneca nation oecu'
pied this piece Of land, about forty miles
long and one mile wide. II was crossed
by three railroads, the Erie, the Atlantic
Is Great Western, and the Rochester .
State Fine. The two former roads Inter.
sected at Salamanca, where leases Of
portions Of land had been made by
the indians to white men, Ss well as q
the railroads, and the object Of this
bill was simply to confirm such leases
The railroads entered the reservation by
the consent Of the Indians and tho money
for that right had been paid into their
treasury. Tho bill did not propose "a
deprive the Indians OF their rights, but
simply proposed that the leases made by
tho Indians themselves should be ratified
There was not a single white person upon
the reservation without the consent OF the
Indians. Improvements amounting Y
over q million dollars had been made by
those who leased the lands, and their
rights should DO protected, The Supreme
Court OF the United States had decided
that the New York Legislature was moi
competent to ratify tho leases therefore
Congress was asked TO pass this bill, The
protests here against It were largely from
Indians who lived upon the Cattaraugui
reservation, and not from those ON the
Allogany reservation, who were most In
terested, A great majority OF tho latter
were in favor Of 1t. ~
