but living within the boundaries, number
about 51000 souls, i. he Council have agreed
to form a sort of Federal Government, in
which all the tribes shall be represented.
Commissioner Parker, in addressing the
Council, said that it was the wish of the Gov
ernment that they should form a protective
confederacy, republican in character, for the
government of the tribes within the Indian
Territory.
A United States Court would be established
among them, and it was expected that a dele
gate would be admitted to Congress. A re
solution was passed inviting the Plain tribes,
the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas, etc.. to
join in the proposed federation, and urging
them strongly to remain at peace with the
whites. The council was at work, at date of
last despatches, preparing a constitution, and
in spite of some difl'ereuces, the Cherokees
Laving in part withdrawn, the proceedings
are entirely satisfactory.
