Of eturse there could not be a treaty made by a simple traveling agent of the Government. never submitted to Congress and never railled by thei. My impression is that the Indians in Siskliyu County ntd other pltces where it is proposed to establish these reservations aire employed to assist the farmers and tre getting along very well. and I would not think it was judiciots for the Government to attempt to stretch out the strong hand and endeavor to transport them away frons the homes where they are now situated. We have generally pursued a very different system in our Indian policy there froun that alluded to yesterday bsy the Senator from Mississippi of taking the Indins aiid deporting tlsetl forcibly from the places where they had been born and desired to stay and putting thent off by themselves iu places more or less barren andthen being compeltedl to supply their necessities. In Canada they have pursued exactly the opposite system. The waves of Etropean emigration coming otn would envelop and go beyond the Itdians. The Indians would be left in the possession of the little homesteads which they.were found in possession of. and the result has been that they have become civilized and almost all distinctions of race have been obliterated. The systems there has worked admirably. certainly a great deal better than ours which has had a great many inconveniences and especially those which arise from cransping the Itdians into a small territory. where they have not the means of etbsistence. where we have to feed them or they have to light for a living.
