But the gentleman asks me why I did not introduce my bill giving the Indians law in the Fortyfifth Congress. I believed that the first great step was to transfer the Indian Bureau to the War Department. and the Indialn Committee made every effort to accomplish this. It passed the House several times but failed in the Senate. When this failed me I then united with the Department in the desire and effort to give them law. I speak in behalf of the Indians. in behalf of the emigrant. in behalf of the pioneer. I am here to ask you to strike down this irresponsible power. I beg gentlemen to reflect upon what they do.
