There are within the limits which it is proposed end believed will first be settled, 7,060 Indians, occu- in the aggregate, a he of country covering Daquare miles, or nbout 30,640,000 acres of land, about three thousand acres to each man, woman’ and child, therein. Although the most of this land is rich and productive, being well adapted to the production of corn, wheat, oaté, potatocs, a8 well as different kinds of fruit, I fm well satisfied that not one thousand acres are now in €ultiyation in the region last alluded to, although fre- quent attempts have been maie to induce the Indians to cultivate the soil. Those, therefore, who sympathize with the “poor In- @ian”’ need not be alarmed, as the organization of this country will result in bencfit to the Indians. So say the Indian Indian agents, and their opinion is sustained by the | r of Indian Affairs, as well as the experience ofan all persons acquainted with their circumstances. There are within these limits several groat routes of travel, upon which annually pass, at-a moderate esti- mate, from forty to fifty thousand American’ citizens, carrying with them their property, valued at many mil: of dollars. ‘Within this vast of country cannot be found one person authorized to arrest s crimiual or en- “force a law; nor are there any within a reasonable dis- tance who can enforce a U for crimea committed within these limits. The consequence is that those laws are in fact a dead letter, and the result is that the lives and property of those who live in and travel through the country are unsafe and wholly unprotected. If it be true, as is patriotically held, that a Koszta, upon foreign soil, can justly claim, and is entitled to receive, from the strong arm of this government, are the seven thousand Indians who are natives and the fifty thousand whites who are citizens of and upon American soil, entitled to the same protection within our own limits? Surely that which is so freely granted to adopted should not be withheld from native citizens. Quite # considerable portion of this country is now of fut trivial importance and but little value to the Indian wibes roaming over it. The game being driven off by the t tide of emigration continually flowing through that Fron, the Indians are willing to dispose of these lands, ich would, if settled upon ant brought into cultiva: be of vast importance to the people—aifording, at ke same time, 4 market to the settler for the products of bis farm, and the settlers aifording protection to the emigrants and the government mails, thus proving on advantage to the ment in diminishing her expenses ‘a8, in event of a settlement of that country, the presen: ted States law in punishment | | every American heart—the right for which #0 much pa- 1 Bradish, who was first proposed as the presiding officer | | of both to the United States Senate.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THR NEW YORK HERALD. Atpany, March 13, 1854. The bill to repeal the act of last year authorizing the Common Council of New York to sppropriate Jones’ Woods for a public park, was taken up in committteo, in Senate. Senator Spencer advocated the repeal, and in- troduced resolutions of both the late and present Com- mon Council, refusing to act under the law. The Corpo- ration are adverse to taking, and the owners are unwilling it should be disposed of, they preferring to retain the property. Mr. Brooks said it had become a common prac- ice for one Legislature to undo what their predecessors had performed; and #0 with regard to this proposed park. ‘The Dill, as passed, is filled with errors; still he did not fecl justified in voting for its repeal ina summary man- | ner, He should prefer inserting some amendments, which he thought would be acceptable to the Common Council. Mr. B. said, if the ques- tion of the two parks—the Central and Jones’ Woods—was submitted toa vote of the people, alarge ma- jortty would vote for both parks, notwithstanding it would involve a taxation of nine orten millions. He doubted the propricty of repealing this act, which had | received the deliberate sanction of the last Legislature. Mr. Whitney was decidedly in favor of ropealing the law, believing the people will be amply satisfled with the cen- tral park. Mr. Williams explained the circumstance of the passage of the Dill last year, and attributed it to the feeling which came up from the city in favor of both Frei ts, or against one and in favor of the other; so the egislature thought they would give them all the parks they wanted. No vote was taken, and it lays over to another day. Senator Dickinson offered a resolution making inqui of the Secretary of State whether Wi ‘: McAlpine ever resigned his office of State En. gineer and Surveyor. This has an inkling towards certain éransactions of the late Canal Board, and also of the late Commissioners of the Canal Fund. derstood here that the resi his Exeellency, Governor awaiting an acceptance. the Secretary's office. ‘The question of the contested seat was not taken up in the Senate morning, as was expected, probably on account of there being few members present. In the House an attempt was made to raiso an excite- ment on the Nebraska question. Mr. Peters called up his resolution for a national convention of anti-Nebras- kers, and moved to sct apart a certain day for discussion. An unexpected rebuke Was administered by Mr. Little- the strongest whig in the House, though s silver gray. He denounced the project of invit- ing a national conyention to meet in this capital to oppose any action of Congress, as a treason. able proposition, and the House of Assembly should not tolerate the idea. Mr. L. continued for some minutes strongly in opposition, with remarks highly denunciatory of the project. His remarks elicited a smothered degree of applause. Mr. Joy supported the motion to set down a day for discussion, "thinking it perfectly proper for the | assemblage of the proposed convention, Others spoke | briefly; when finally a motion was nearly unanimously | adopted, laying the subject on the table. Now, as Mr. Peters wishes this national convention to assemble before the House of Representatives comes to a vote on the Ne- Draska bill, he will have to obtain the passage of his re- solution very soon, 80 a8 toailow delegates to come here from California, Oregon and New Mexico before the vote is taken. ‘The question of granting lands under water, and #he Jaws in relation thereto, have been examined by Attorney | General Hoffman.
