The Democrat and the Winnebago Treaty.
We last week declared that we cared not un
der what administration the measure inij-ht
have been consummated, it should have met
our most uncompromising opposition. And
when the Democrat can show by fair statements
ami plausible reasoning that the Whig party or
its agents, ever desired the removal of the \Vin
nebagoes to the mouth of Crow river as a per
manent possession, we will furnish that editor
with the most indubitable evidence that we arc
not moved by any private or partisan consider
ation in our condemnation of (iov. Gorman’s
treaty.— Express.
Candid, plausible, very. Now will the Ex
press read the extract which we publish to-day
from the letter of Secretary McClelland, and
then answer us a few questions. Have vou not
for more than a year past, been aware that it
was the policy of Gov. Hams y to bring the
Winnebagoes south to Crow ltiver? If ■o, why
did it not meet J 0-ir “ uncouq r noising opposi
tion," before his removal from office ? Have !
you not been aware that for more than three
years past, a 1 irge portion of this tribe have re
sided at the mouth of Crow river with thcsunc
tion of Gov. Ramsey ? Did this meet your •* un
compromising opposition?” Were* you not
aware that at the close of Gov, Ramsey's ad
ministration. the Winncbagocs were located at
a point south of the mouth of Crow river, near
er to St. Anthony, and in the very midst of the
white settlements, and that they were encour
aged to remain there by the payment of their
annuities under his in t.uelioi g? Were you
not aware that whilst there they were a contin
ual curse and annoyance to the white settlers
upon whose lands they had intruded? Did
this, even, meet with your “ uncompromising
opposition ?” Was the influence of vour sheet,
now so readily to be used in the work of defa
mation, then brought to denounce this palpable
outrage ? By showing the affirmative of these
questions, you will then be able to convince us
that you are not “moved hv any private con
siderations.’’ At present, however, it looks to
a candid public very much as though you were
affecting to strain at a gnat, after having alrea
dy swallowed an animal of huge dimensions.—
St. Paul Democrat.
We have examined the extract alluded to,
and proceed to answer briefly the interrogato
ries of the Democrat.
We are not aware that it was the determined
“policy of Gov. Ramsey to bring the Wiuneba
gocs south to Crow river,” but we are abso
lutely certain that he never contemplated to
settle them at tbe mouth of Crow river, as the
editor of the Democrat would fain have his
readers believe. The Governor, finding that
the Winnebagoes were dissatisfied with their
allotted lands ou the Crow Wing, anil would
not remain on them, but persisted in occupying
a portion of territory south of Crow river,
where they were a continual annoyance to the
white settlers, did think, as a temporary expe
dient, of removing them to a portion of the
Crow river country, beginning seventy miles
f.-om the mouth of that river, and running west
ward toward the Minnesota. The land, howe
ver, to which the Winnebagoes were to be con
wyed was then in possession of the Sioux and
no white man had yet settled either upon or
any where near it. * It therefore involved no
trespass upon the claims of settlers—no out
iage upon white citizens, and least of all was
f he recommendation made in defiance of the de
termined and unanimous opposition of citizens
in that quarter. Indeed we have no reason to
doubt that the settlers on the Mississippi above
St. Anthony would have hailed such a measure
for their temporary relief from an insufferable
nuisauce as a God-Bend, and would have inter
posed no objection to its immediate consumma
tion. The Express notwithstanding, (then un
der the editorial charge ofanother,) with a wise
forecast, looked to the future, and anticipating
the rapid settlement of the entire valley of the
Crow river, presenting as it does the most ir
rosistable attractions to the farmer and the
manufacturing capitalist, opposed the measure
as one which would retard the occupation of
that fertile region by the whites, and as contra
ry to the wonted policy of the government to
ward the Indians which has always been to lo
cate them at each successive removal as remote
from the white settlements as possible. We re
ferred the Democrat to our files, in the Express
of the 2tith ult., and do not deem it necessary
again to insist on the reference. If he desires
to know the course we then pursued we pre
sume his own files of our paper would enable
him to satisfy himself in much less time than it
would take us to quote from those papers.
The most, therefore, that can bo alleged,
against Gov. Ramsey’s policy on tliis suij et
is, that he proposed to bring the tVinnebagoes
to a more southern latitude, but not any nearer
the whites than before. They would indeed
have been some ten miles further from St. An
thony than in their previous homes. The ob
jectionable feature in Gov. Gorman’s treaty,
and that which makes it the more palpably an
outrage, is that having but a few weeks ago re
moved them from the mouth of Crow river,
where they were daily making murderous at
tacks upon the whites in the vicinity, he now
brings them back to that point as owners of the
soil, in plain violation of the rights of white cit
izens, to become a perpetual dread and annoy
ance to settlers in the neighborhood.
During the great part of Gov. Ramsey’s ad
ministration these lands were in the hands of
the .Sioux, and the Governor had nothing to do
with them. And if that tribe chose to permit
the Winnebagoes to use a part of them, so long
as they behaved themselves, Gov. Ramsey had
no power to remove them. Their payments,
therefore, may or may not have been made
there, of this we have no specific knowledge,
and have not thought it of enough importance
definitely to ascertain. It is sufficient for us to
know that Governor Ramsey promptly redres
sed all grievances of settlers against the In
dians, attended as promptly to all petitions on
tlie subject of their removal, and was constant
ly intent on so disposing them as would most
faithfully carry out the stipulations of the trea
ty under which they were brought to the Ter
ritory, and at the same time most effectually
rid our settlements of the intolerable nuisance
of their presence.
Are these answers satisfactory to the editor
of the Democrat? That he may, however, see
that in denouncing Governor Gorman’s treaty
from our neighbor Prescott, whose instincts, so
far as wc have been able to ascertain them, are
with the democratic party :
“No, we cannot speak favorably of the late
treaty. We cannot, as yet, see the necessity of
it. Wc utterly fail to discover that the mea
sure was one of ‘justice,’ or that it was ‘ called
for by every consideration of public faith, of
honor, and humanity.’ We freely and gladly
acquit the Governor of any intentional w rong,
having always believed that he earnestly de
sires and means to labor for the best interests
of the whole country over which he is chief ma
gistrate ; but all this does not in tbe least les
sen our regret, that he should have been so
misled by ‘docamentary evidence,’ brought
forth from the archives of a former administra
tion.”
Tbe I’ioncer, lost week, in an article wherein
the editor professes to define his position, also,
declares his opposition to the “ new location for
the tVinnebagoes.” Thus the only coadjutor ot
the Democrat, which at first (while under the
editorial management of an irresponsible ‘sub,’*)
united its voice with that of the Democrat in
the vain effort to defend tlie Governor, now, iu
the' voice of its responsible editor, assumes a

EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS.
I position of direct antagonism to its political
Work-fellow.
Truly, the Democrat has chosen an unfortu
nate position, since his own party canuot ap
prove it. Alone on tlie battle-field, singlet
handed against a host, it would be but blind
temerity to persist in the unequal combat, and
‘ discretion being the better part of valor,’ we

Kkmovino a Ring fhom a Voi'.ng Lady’s Fi.v
gek.—Pr. Castle communicates to the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, the following in
genious method, devised by him, forextrieating
a young lady’s linger from a ring which was
too small for her. We give his story in his own
language :
“ An interesting young lady about seventeen
years of age had presented to her a gold ring,-
which she forced over tlie joints of her middfcf
linger. After a few minutes tlie finger com
menced swelling, anil the ring could not be re
moved. Tlie family physician, I)r. . was
sent for, but could do nothing. The family and
the young lady especially, were now in the
greatest consternation. A jeweller was sen!
for. After manyfutile attempts to cut the ring
with cutting-nippers, and to saw it apart with
a line saw, and after bruising and lacerating
the flesh, warm fomentations and leeches were
applied, but all without affording the slightest
benefit. Dr. requested my presence, with
the compliment that • perhaps my mechanical
ingenuity might suggest something.’ lat onco
proceeded to the house of the patient, and found
the young lady iu a most deplorable state of
mental agony, the doctor embarrassed, aud thu
family iu a state of excitement. I procured
some prepared chalk, and applied it between
the ridges of swollen flesh, and all round tho
linger, and succeeded in drying the oozing ami
abraded flesh ; then with a narrow piece of soft
linen 1 succeeded in p dishing the ring by draw
ing it gently round the ring between the swol
-1 n parts. 1 then applied quicksilver to ih<9
whole surface of the ring, lu less than thred
minutes the ring was broken (by pressing it
together) in four pieces to the great relief of all
parties.
lu a similar manner (without the clmlk) I
some time since extracted a small brass ring
from the ear of a child, who. child-like, had in*
sorted it in the cavity of its ear. The operation
was more painful aud tedious, but was equally
successful.
The modus operandi. The quicksilver at
once permeates the metals, if clean, (w ith the
exception of iron, steel, platina, undone or two
others,) and amalgamates with them. It im
mediately crystaliz.es and renders the metal as
bard and as brittle as glass. Hence the ease
with which metals amalguted with quicksilver
can lie broken.”
Nkkkaska Tkruitory. —This Territory having
Iteen set apart by treaties to the several triltes
ot Indians removed there liy Government from
sections of country where the whites crowded
them badly, the (,’ommis. i mer of Indian Affair,
has felt it to lie his duty to personally examine
into their w ants and condition. Col. Manypen
nv is now on a visit to the Territory, and he
has issued a document on the subject of Indi
an Reservations by which it appears that the
Department of the Interior consider ordinary
white settlements in Nebraska, unlawful at the
present time. The Indian title has never Iteen
extinguished, but Congress at its last session
authorized the President to treat with the Indi
an tribes located along the western boundary
of lowa and Missouri for the purpose of extin
guishing their title in whole or in part to the
country they now occupy, and measures are in
progress to effect that object. The Territory is
occupied by a number of tribes, some of them
numerous and powerful, and the whites are be
ginning to encroach on their hunting grounds
by settlements, so as to become annoying. The
principal tribes are the Omahas, Pawnees, Si

Serious Charges.— Last night, in Council Mr.
Eggleston, of the Kith ward, presented a com
munication from three young ladies, recently in
mates of the City Inlirmary, who allege that
they were seduced hy two officers of that Insti
tution, l)rs. Marsh arid Victora, who afterwards
conveyed them to a Justice of tlic Peace, and
made oath that they were lunatics and caused
them to be committed to the Commercial Hos
pital. The females claim that this was done to
hide the conduct of which they had been guilty.
The petitioners asked Council to investigate the
matter and give them redress. Several mem
bers of the Hoard stated that information of
these and similar outrages of these officers had
come to their ears, and it was high time that an
investigation was made. A resolution, appoin
ting a special committee of three, with power
to send for persons and papers, and give the
matter a thorough examination, was passed.
The committee will make their report within
two weeks.— Cin. Atlas.
