eminent In Indian Territory.
On the 4th instant. by invitation
of large number of people of the
Choctaw Nation, Colonel Boudinot
addressed large audience at Cad
do on the subject Of political and
pr operty right. His speech was
one of the most impressive and ell
oquent of his life. At the close of
the meeting the following resolu-
tons, embodying the views discuss
ed by Boudinot, wer. adopted:
81. That United States Courts
should be established in Indian
Territory, with such jurisdiction as
authorized by the treaties of 1866.
$50. That we recognize the Grand
Council which meets yearly at Ok
mulgee, Creek Nation, as the legis.-
lative body for the Territory con-
templated by the treaties of 1866,
and that it's powers should be en-
larged in the manner provided in
the treaties, and we recommend the
Superintendent of Indian Affairs to
select point on the railroad as a
more convenient place for holding
its sessions hereafter.
IS. That as the treaties provides
for delegate in Congress, we are
in favor of such legislation by Con-
gress as will enable the Indians to
elect such delegate whenever they
be disposed to do SO.
81 That the interest OF all cit
liens of the Nation are the same
We characterize the attempt of any
one to array full bloods against the
mixed blood and white citizens OF
the Nations as contemplate, dams
aging and deserving of the oppro-
blum OF all true friends Of the In
dams.
''5 That any legation by Con-
gress with reference to this Terri
tory should provide for the prompt
and equitable settlement OF all just
claims and demands which each or
any of the different tribes to be af-
fected by such legislation may have
against the United States.
SO. That we protest against the
settlement of any other Indians not
belonging to the tribes already le-
ga]ly resident within the limits of
this Territory, without first obtain
ing the consent of the people |
among whom they e to be To-
Gated"
The people seem aroused to the
necessity of free expression of pub-
lie opinion, and are in earnest to
secure the enforcement of law and
order and the enjoyment of their
political and proper rights under
the treaty.
Boudinot is invited to speak at
.toka on the 10th instant, ana will
make thorough canvass in the en-
tire Territory.
