[From the Denver tCol) Tribune Sept. 23.]
"Have you received any further advices about the
UtesY'
II have received nothing. either from private
sources from thedepartment. that has not already
been made known through the papers. Governor
pitkn. who is very well informed the subject.
and who. well as myself. takes q very great in
tersst In the matter. and myself do from present
appearances any to apprehend serious
trouble. have had very full consultations with
the Governor and other gentlemen about the Indian
situation in the State and in complete har.
mony to the policy to be followed to bring about
solution of existing difficulties. / think under
stand the Indian situation here now much better
than did before, and shall. as soon possible.
have instructions issued accordingly"
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
what do you think OF the prospects Of the re-
publican paxty?"
al think It's prospects Of success very hopeful
if tho republican party is true to it's best instincts
The republican party has great history and may
boast of many great achievements. among them the
abolition Of slavery. the preservation Of the Union.
and the restoration Of specie payments and the ad-
vanceinent of public credit. 1t may also be said
to contain its ranks very large share OF the in
telligence and moral Of the people; but it Is.
in great measure, an organization or volunteers,
ana not of regularly enlisted and drilled troops. It
must, therefore. maintain it's strength from day to
day not alone by pointing to its past record but by
active demonstrations of its capacity to solve
the problems Of the future. 1t has natural
aptness for attracting the independent element
III politics-I mean that element which acts
upon sincere conviction, without obedience to
discipline. But 1t attract that ele-
ment only by remaining true to the best
standard Of political morals and intelligent. good
and clean government The republican party will
always lose the fight where it has to defend
up things that wrongs. where it yields the
true convictions Of its best elements to tempo
rary clamor and demogoguery. The campaign Of
last year in which intelligent argumentative appeals
made to the good sense, reason and feel
ing Of honor Of the people on question Of immed-
ate mportance-where the republican party in
der what circumstances it develop its best
strength. The result of tho campaign of 1850, will
no doubt. in great measure. depend on the same
conditions"
'.what do you think Of the prospects in OhioY'
81 spent only few days in that State, and my per-
sonal observation was therefore very limited indeed
but the republicans. especially those who might be
considered best informed, appeared very sanguine
anticipating very large maj jorities. Is quite prob
full strength at the polls, which. think will insure
the defeat OF Ewing.
EDO you go directly from here to WashingtonY'
"No; shall go from here to wichita Kan. and
from there to the Indian Territory where intend
visit several agencies and to attend the agricultural
fair of the Indian tribes at Muskogee At that place
expect to find the representative men Of the most
important tribes. and to have consultations with
them about matters connected with the Territory.
and then shall return to Washington by way Of st.
