Relief for the Tndiaus.
:
We have waited w ith painful anxiety, to know if
by the treaties or by any other method, relief cculd
( be had before the ensuing winter for the suffering
Sioux Indians, our neighbors West of the river;
know ing for an absolute certainty, that their atten- >
tion to the treaties for two years past, then losses by
! freshets, the scarcity of game and the small returns
from their unenlightened agriculture, have left them I
!in a condition of unexampled w ant. Bv the follow
! ing debate in Congress, it will he reen that our dele
| gate Is alive to the interests of all the human beings,
j red as well as white, within our limits; that he has
< feelingly and truly portrayed the condition cf the
Sioux; and n blv vindicated the mrh aspersed
'' character of the real Indian t nder.
j There is now at least a hop", that £ 190,900 will
be appropriated for the relief of Indians who are ac
i t uall y suffering w ith hunger. Not onlv does cvcrv
j white man in Minnesota, fuel proud of our delegate, !
: but every Indian in his tepee, with his starving chil- j
dren around liim, will bless him and do bless him,
a* a bcncfuctoi whose kindness aid s(apathy extends
to all the family of matt.
Mr. SIBLEY. I have not nsen with any de
sign < f making a set speech or of consuming much of
the time of the Cominitteo. i deemed it but tight ,
and proper in me, however, in view of the fact, that ,
an attack had been made upon a gentleman who for-
I merly occupied a distinguished position m der tins
Government, to yieid a portion of my time to the 1
gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Sweetser,] to enable him !
to reply to the very serious charges which had been j
made against Col. Medill, by rncinfers of the Com
i mittee on Indian Affairs of this House. It was but
| justice to the absent, that the reply should go forth
to the country simultaneously with the accusations
agiin.-t him, and to effect this object, 1 very thcer
, fully permitted the gentleman from Ohio [Mr Sweet
ser) to occupy as much of my tune as he might deem
ncecssart to devote to the defence of the loi mei (jin
! missioncr of Indian Affairs. Being mvself ignnrmt
'of all the facu connected with the tian.-actions la -
■ tween the Government and the Menominee Indians,
1 have nothing to «u on that subject. I pin.pose to
detain the committee for a short time in th<- discuss
ion of an >the. matter of very general interest to the
country at large, and particularly to the Indians
' themselves. Sir, the aboriginal tribes upon this con
tinent, and especially those inhabiting the northen;
portions of it, are subjected to a gn at amount of suf
fering, because of the want of load and proper cloth
ing. This is a subject which I had the honor of
bringing before this 1 louse luring the last Congress,
I in a speech which 1 made upon the general topic of
I our Indian relations, when I took occasion among
other things to state, that the miserable condition of
S the wild tribes of the Wtst was lar from being rcal
, red by Congress and bv the country.
Sir, but two ,-hoit vc.iis have passed since that
speech was delivered, and m\ obsorvati >u and them
formation I have gathered since that time, have en
tirelv corroborated the statements therein contained
» i lit. .11*.. _ .
1 have seen whole bands of lodt.tn , comprising u • u
women rind children, reduced to a state of emacia
tion from hunger, shocking to behold in this fair
, land, which God has blessed with an abundance <f,
all the elements necessary for the support of hoimi i
life. I have witnessed the voracity with when
these poor creatures have seized upon nnd tier Hired
I garbage the most disgusting, from which the very
, pampered dogs of vonr cities would turn away with
loathing. It would be - nir consolation to be able
to assert with tiuth, that reduced to these extremi
ties, there was suli no reason to believe that any had j
actually pel ished fi in the want of some kind of food
capable of sustaining life. U tifoi tunately even ilia’
solace is denied cs.
I have reason to know from statements which have
1 been made to me by respectable men m the Indian j
country, that during the last year in the Tenituiy
whii h i have the honor to icpicse it upon this dm i, 1
, there have been from sixty to one hr-ndied dalhs
among the Indiana, f.om actual starvation. I may lie j
mit here w ith the statement that these calamities be
fall them because cf their impiovidence. I have no
disposition to deny that such is the rase to some ex- j
! tent. Eveiy body who knows anything about the j
chatarter of an Indian is aware that hearts up to,
tk« ...xlm r,( L.iijm • rk., uuwrr.ui take I
, the snip tin ill maxim of lcttimz ‘the morrow take j
thought for the tilings of itsell.” It he ban but stiff- ,
ricat to feed himself and his family for one day, hr
docs not trouble himself much about what he is ?o
have of fare for the next. That is especially the
case with thi Indians who depend exclusively upon
the game for subsistence. New, I have reason to
know, that many of the large western piaiiies which
jormei ly abounded in wild animal.- ate now entirely
denuded of them. The consequence is, that within
two or three veats bands of Indians w.io relied en
tirely upon the buffalo, elk, and am.lope fot their
1 dailv supply cf f aid, have been reduced to the list
1 stages of destitution.
I pioposc iii an amendment I shill offer to the b>l!
under eon (delation, b fore I take my teat, to appro
p'iato the sum cf S 100,000, to be applied by thr
Secretary of th' I ’.terror to relieve such eases cf suf
■ f ring as"l have described among the 1 id.aus in a y
part of th ; Uni tad States. I how taken paiticua,
rate, likewise to provide that no pl.t ol th s tnou . y
. shall tie i a:«l cut by the Bsenkn r! . % etatenei t»
. fiorn entirely mlalilt sorter • thni* b* b ought t Ins
notice, showing the absolute noecs.-ity of the r xpend.-
• tme.
Ii immediate connection with this subject I propose
> to reply to a charge oxide by the gentleman fiotn
r t Missouri, [ MrPhrdps,} again A. a cfcis* of perruirs in
the West called Indian tradets.
Mr. PHELPS. The gentleman w ill permit me to
say, that in the allusion which I made to the Indian
traders »■> Ijeing unworthv of credit, I did not mean
tr. r'-f»r fo th" ow ners of trading establishment*, Win
j
j to the class of men employed by them to trade with
the Indians, These persons do not stand reiy well
j on the frontier where 1 live.
| Mr. SIBLEY. Sir, I accept the exp lanation of
the gentleman, so far as it gues, but will not re
j main silent in this House and hear a whole class of
j citizens, with many of whom I am intimately acquaint
ed, denounced, as I have sometimes heard thdhi, by
gentlemen who knew nothing about those they so
j bitterly inveighed against. I ara aware that there
I are individuals in the West who are improperly de*
I nominated Indian traders, who deserve all thedeiron
! elation that ran be poured up on them here or any
where else. I mean those men who a-e engaged in
selling liquor to the Indians, and taking from them
in exchange therefor, blankets, guns, or anything
else they may chance to possess. 1 ho!J these indi
viduals in just as much d> lesiauon a* the gentleman
from Missouui can possibly do. Thank God! we
have very few of them in our Territory, and when
they come there they are not suffered to remain long,
before they are made to feel the weight of the public
indignation.
But, when that gentleman, or any other, undertakes
to pour fourth denunciations npon tne regularly li
censed traders, as destitute of integrity and honor, I
shall take issue with him at once.
We have in our Tariitory many citizens who have
been engaged for years in the Indian trade, and who
arc as high-minded, as honorable, aud as little Ob
noxious lo the charge of defrauding the Indians, as
any gentleman in this House. I will do them the
justice to say, that they in conjunction with the mis
sionaries of the cross, have gone further to benefit
the Indians, to feed them when they aie hungry, to
clothe them when they are naked, to prevent the in
trodui tion of liquor amongst them, and to alleviate
their sufferings generally, than any other class in the
community.
Mr. 3WEETSER. I ask the gentleman if it is
not within his knowledge that, during the times of
scarcity and starvation with these Indians, the tra
ders have reduced themselves almost to poverty, in
order to relieve the li.uiai.s in their exigencies I
Mr. SIBLEY I will state to dm gentleman that
sii his very frequently Th r case. The men who re
ceive licenses as traders must first show that they are
of good character, otherwise by the terms of the law,
they should not be permitted toco into the Indian
eountiv at all. Thry arc w ithal compelled to give
b rads to the Government in a large amount to observe
all existing regulations, and to retrain from any viola
lion of the laws regulating trade and rntucouise with
the Indian tribes. Such men are the real fiends of
the poor Indian, and will shaie the last crust or the
last blanket with the starving shivering savage. For
the most part, so far from defrauding the Indiana, they
arc defrauded by then;; f>r I assure the gentleman
that he very much underrates the character of these
Western Indians for shrewdness and intelligence, if
he thinks they can be very easily imposed upon.—
They know the value of the articles .1 merchandise
used by them about as well as the whites themselves,
and are quite as aj t to So; k after their ow n interests.
But I wish to pres-lit am.liter fart i t leUtion to
this much abused class f mm. I huv _b- cii an In
dian trader myself f.i flit rn oi tnoii \ uis, and 1

Mr. PHELPS. 1 x la' dv u.
Mr. SIBLEY. 1 know the gentleman did not in
tend to apply his remark ' nr personally; but 1
choose t'» defend the 1 1.'.-- ' which 1 my-clf l.a. .
lor a; pertained •v T a : . t a.I s ..h me manors.
Mr. PHF.LPS. I h ve already aid that I i'id
not intend to embrace in nr, rrmu k- the principal
tradoi s, the prop- ieto. s ot the t a Jin ; e to' li.-hine.it-;
I only intend to cmb.ace then t'tnpl v-<-, toe men
who. iih v ”011 !r.y t > trade. with th r lodii >\
'I .SIBLEY. luii i •it'ctlv willraj t nd-oit
that there an. traders and half-fi.redo .. noug the In
dians, as there are pci sous r all coin.nnu.ti s, who
are no Utter than they rh uld U'. It would lie
si range indeed if there were not exceptions to the
general rule.
Mr. rHELPS. Th.at is the class to whom I al
1 lude.
Mr. SIBLEY. They 'orm a portion of those who
, spend their lives among the Indians; but they a.e
men whose characters are ju-t a- well known and
j appreciated among the Indians, and held in as just
1 estimation by them as they are by the w hites. I
j wish, as an act ot justi ’e to this class of the comm i
! nity, to state one tact which no man who knows
anything about it w ill cor.tioveit. Of til me Indian
• traders of my acquaintance, and they are many in
number, I know of none who have emuhed them
selves, but I am aware that by far the largest nuuibct
have become utteily improve! ished in the prosecution
! of this branch of commerce. Do these facts go to
j show that the Indians arc dcfiaudedby these preoprlel
lor rather do they not afford incontestable evidence
that such wholesale charges are utterly without
foundation ! I have no knowledge of the kind of men
they may have upon the frontiers of Missouri to whom
the gentleman paiticulaily alludes. 1 am speaking
uf men smite of whom h id high social positions in
our Territory, and whose repn sent.it .ns mav lie n
i garded aa entirely reliable. It is fiom them that I
have derived in part the infoimatii n ■<! tin- disentitle
condition if th* Indians; and it isnp.tt *ii : slate
in ’n‘s of Si'o! individuals, together wit!’ rnyow'ii’geii
eral knowledge of the necessity of th- <ase, that 1
hau lrii.-cd my action on the introduction of the
amendment referred to.
N. v . ir, I de-ire toadveitto another fact ccnnert
ed with Indian ttcatie* which lif.v. lx. n made, ini'
art constantly being made with the Indians. There
it i great mistake hi the public mind about the amount
of tompensatio i which tilt I idians receive under
these treaties. It is generally supposed tfinr thevaie
| aid a pi ice for their la ids somewhat appioxtina
ting t;> that at which the Government holds its public
j domain. Why , sir, so f.ir f mi that, the aveiage
, | rates paid to the Indians for land, since the founda
tion of the Government, have been abaci eight cent.*
an acre; and \et we constantly hear coin; hunts nude
of the large appropt iafioris that are icquited to fulfill
these treaty stipulation- Gentlemen aerrn to fsrvet

I Mr. MURPHY. 1 dc-ire to ask t! e gcn'.etnan a
question. He appears to be- well asp u ited wi'h the
Indian character, and I undt rsia h * proposition
to be to make provision fir those tha' ..re suffering
among them. Idm ire to ask the gentleman if the
tendeney of this p ovi.-ion will not be to i.tcrcaae the

j Mr. SIBLEY. I wdl a"«wrr the gentleman from
Georgia veiy cheerfully. It I had any idea that such
I would be the effect of this piovision, 1 should ccr
• tainlv iiototTci the amendment. I will state to the
gr nth mar. that a to the niattoi of fact, there can be
no difference of opinion among men who are at ail
abquainted with tuc situation of matters in the West
that this state of things doe- exit. Not a yeai

I Mr, SWEETSER, With the permistion of the
.1. f ii ■ U . —, - 1-*:
I gentleman, I will state that 1 have a near lelativr
j f ving in his neighboihoi>d, from whom I rereaved a
letter a few days since,concerning the Indians in that
’ locality. He write.- me, that in consequence cf tire
treat! made last full, the Indians have net made so
much provision for their subsistence as they have
done hither to, and that consequently, large numbers of

In a previous article under ’his head we alluded :o
i th<* evil effects of inordinate drinking, even though
j the liquid drunk be ever so bland and harmless in its
; qualities. And we then intimated that the very
! common practice of adding to our drinks alcoholic
| stimulants, such as brandy, w ine, or beer, only added
; largely to the chances of picducing injurious and even
i fatal effects.
! There is no fact in medical science better estab
lished, than that intoxicating drinks while present
in the system, invariably diminish all the natural or
. ganic actions, howi ver much they may exhilarate
! the brain and nervous system. They letard the pro
j cess of purifying the blood by inspiration, and dim in.
i ish almost all the secretions. The blood of the ha.
j bituaJ diinker is, therefore, always impute, often to
such an extent as to inanifisf itself in eruptions on
the face, redness of the ey< s, d'soidets of the liver
, or kidneys, arid always by a diminished power of re
j fisting the operation of the ordinary causes of cis
j ease. So tiue is tins, that whenever the decidedly
. j intemperate man becomes the subject of severe dir
! ea:c or injury, all class-. - are ready to -isdgst his in
temperate habits as a pioinineut rticumstance against
his rtcoveiv. Precisely the ; ..me thing is true o-f
1 th" moderate drinker, though n. a less digree.
It is owing to this insidious influence o! intoxicu*
. ting drinks, in disordering the vital actions anti ren
dering the blood impure, that habitual drinkers frr. •
quetly become the eailiest victims of eveiy epedrmic
and when once attacked, roost surelv to *dir. Aid
yet such is the force of custom, and "the delusive in
fluence of nervous stimulation, that thousand* in this
. community are daily using intovnatinc beverage* ur.-
dei the pEa of protecting health; forgo: ting that all
. of nature’s cl incuts aid laws, are sutheient .vithont
