The officers of the United States pf and other Fenton: on the ground, had boon invited to attend, as witnessess of the consumma- tion of the ee As far as ible, they did so. To the various | tribes, the object of the coun- cil, today, had been communicate in- id bd the terpreters, and whenthey assembled, the atten- dance was mot so, numerous, in men, squaws, children, &c., as on former cecasions. But the chiefs, braves and old men turned out in more than their usual number. They appeared in coun- cil with all the gravity and dignity that ought to characterize such an occasion. When the council was opened, Col. Mitchell ex- plained the purpose of the assemblage to be the signing of the treaty, as it had been prepared in conformity to previous agreement. fle then read it te them, sentense by sentence, and caused it to be fully explained by the different interpreters. At the instance of some of the chiefs, portions of it were read several times, for their better understand- ing. Every effort was made, and successfully, too, to give them the full and just import of each article. As the treaty remains subject to the ratification of the United States Senate, it is not proper to Cit it entire, but there can be ro violation of propriety in giving the substance of the prineipal articles. ‘he preamble recites, that it is a treaty made between D. D. Mitchell, Superintendent of Indian pa ‘Thomas Fitzpatrick, Indian Agent, Commissioners specially appointed by the President of the United States, of the one party ‘and the chiefs, head men and braves of the fol lowing Indian na- tions, residing south of the Missouri river, east of the Rocky ountains, and north of the boundary line nk Teg ond New Merion, viz ‘aan syret or Baco! Sheyennes, Ara , Crows, in- naboing, bree-Venters, Mantas and Arrickeras, of the othor part. Article first recites that the object is to make a firm and lasti ace between nations assem- bled, and for purpose they covenant to msin- tain good faith and friendship all their mutual intercourse, and to make an effective and lasting ace. PeSecond. That the Indian nations assembled re- eognize the right of the United States to make roads, military and other posts, within their respeo- tive territories. Third. In consideration of the above recognition, the United States agree to protect the Indians from fometesions of the whites, after the ratification of the treaty. Fourth. The Indians agree and bind themselves, after the ratification of the treaty, to mako restitu- tion or eatisfaction for all wrongs committed by any band or individual of their respective nations, on the people of the United pogese temo lawfully residing in, or pe te their territory. Fifth. In this article the Indian nations recog- nize certain beundarios, or lines, for the country claimed by them respectively. The lines are thus stated in the Langs 9 The territory of the Sioux, or Dacotah nation, commencing at the mouth of White Earth river, on the Missouri river; thence in a southwesterly direction to the forks of the Platte riv ; thence up the south fork of the Platte river to a point knewn as the Red Bute, or where the roaa leaves the river ; thence along the range of mountains, known as the Black hills, to the head waters of Heart | river ; thonce down Heart river to its mouth, and | thence down the Missouri to the mouth of White Sarth river. The erreee of the Gros-Venters, Mandan, and Arrickera nations—(these three nations are now reduced to a few thousand souls, by smallpox and other diseases, and by war; and, as they live in common, were treated with as people)—com- a the mouth of Heart river; thenoe up the Missouri river to the meuth of the Yellow Stone river; thence up the Yellow Stone to the mouth of Powder ri thence from the mouth of Powder river, in a southeasterly direction, to the head waters of the Little river; thence alo: he range of the Black hills to the hoad waters Heart river, and thence down the Heart river to the place of beginning: The territory of the Assinaboin nation, com- meneing at the mouth of the Yellow Stone River— thence up the Missouri River to the mouth of the Muscle Shell River— the mouth of the Muscle Shell River, in ® south easterly direction, until it strikes the head waters of Big Creek— thence down that creek to where it empties into the Yellow Stone River, nearly opposite mouth of iy mgd aoe thence down the Yellow Stone to of . The kere ef the Biask Foot nation, residing south ef the Missouri River, commencing at the mouth of the Muscle Shell River—thence up the River to its sources—thence tov Bo main range of the Rocky Mountains in a southerly direction, to the head waters of the northern sources of the Yellow Stone River—thence down the Yellow Stone River to the mouth of Twenty-Five Yard Creek—thence across to the head waters of the Muscle Shell—and down the Muscle Shell to the startin, int.

This article of the treaty is valuable in this, that it defines the territory claimed and recognized by the tive nations as their lands. The nations claim the right and privilege of roaming aod bunt ing over all, or any part, of this vast country, but at the same time recognise and concede the claims of nations to particular tracts. ‘They ecom to hold the prairie community of interest that often prevails in indi- vidual tenants to a common field. It is another to ge upon it, 8 a usoful sec- tage ig in this, that, in recognizing jaries, it gives a locality to caak tribe, the government to hold the tribe re- Pp le juries or depredations committed within their territory. To this article was added @ proviso, that, in recognizing and consenting to | there boundaries, the tribes did not surrender their right, or interest, in any other lands not included in these boundariee—nor did ye! eurrender tue tight or privil of bunting, fishing, or passing over or through portion of the country. 6th. In this article they recogaize the selection | of a head or principal chief for the nation, through whom all government transactions will be conduc- ted,"and they tain him om that character. 7th.

Bir. Lewis said that the prisoner had = necessarily bankrupted by the expense of his defence, and the little earnings of ten years of ind had been completely swept away. Mr. Lewis said :—“I dety the United States to show, by the testimony of a single witness, that the prisoner has ever expressed a sentiment capone to the execution of the Fagitive Slave jaw” He had a right to express such seutinent 5 but he had never done it. “I say for my client that we have no opposition tn this law, or to any other law, an@ Idefy the government to show that the prisoi ever expressed a sentiment in favor of its b by the regular, constitutional means by which laws may be altered.” Mr. Lewis proterted against all that had been so improperly introduced into the case, as to the stability of the Union.

Mr. Lewis said that he found his voice and strength: failing. and he proposed to omit what he had intended to say as tothe law. r Brent preferred to have an opening for the defence on the law ; but he consented to commence his own re- marks. Mr. Brent explained his own position in the case. He thought that was no business of the defence. It had been published to the world that the State of Maryland had sought the position of lending counsel here. It wae false. He and bis honored iriend (ir.

They could pettie their own family jars, if such there were.

The omission & penalty for the non-compliauce with a request im enforcing the act, Mr Brest thought, was omission, ina certain code, of any punishment for the it was not supposed that he ever be committed.
