To LORD DUpFRRiN, Governor General OF Canada
SIR-YOu will, know, pardon the intrusion-if you

story governments cruel injustice toward the
Indian and gross misrule In all pertaining 10 him.
Were this man citizen, one OF thousands who had
rcbelled against such Injustice and sought shelter
his defeat England would mover surrender him. But
the Indian is not citizen a simple subject since
we make treaties with him, asking surrender Of
his land, instead Of taking 1t BY any claim
Of eminent domain, and leave him under
an irregular tribal government, independ.
cnt OF civil law; make on him, and
conclude peace with him. Such party, what
his offence, cannot be treated like ordinary
criminal ami reckoned within the purvisw OF inter.
national treaties such subjects To surrender him
is to surrender one in arms not against his own
acknowledged government, but ono In arms against
government which, in large degree shuts him out
IRON the miIs OF us >civii polty; government
which he disavows and repudiates, and which, you
know, will do MIN no justice. All our history
attests this Canada's with the Indian since
the proclamation OF George H. in l74o from the
method she then adopted OF making the Indian a full
citizen and melting him into the common mass Our
failure is because we have always put force in the
place OF law, and shutting the Indian out from the
shelter oi law have treated him like an alien aud an
outlaw In such circumstances have no right TO
ask Engand's hoip 10 subdue him. Her grant
