TILE -ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Toward the.elose of the Akdrainistra
tton a convention was slgut:4 at London
'for the settlement, of all out-standing
claims 'between 'Great Britain ''and the
; United' States, which' failed to receive
the advice , and consent of the Senate
to its ratifiCation. The time and' the
circumstances' attending the negotiation
, of that treaty' were favorable to ;its no--
veptance, 4y the , people of the ;United,
•States,'lititite provisions were wholly
inadequate for the settlement of the
grave wrongs, that - had , been sustained
by this Oovernment, as.well vis_ by its

yet.the convention treated them simply
as such ordinary claims, from, which
they diger more widely in the gravity

is that difierence not a word was fOund

would !not have produced' the• hearty,
'l:ordinal' settlement' of the pendhig
questicifis which alone is consistent
with' thq relations •which I, desire to
have established' 'between 01(3'Utilted

the action of. the Senate•ih rejecting the
treaty to have been wisely taken 41 . 4 the
Interest of peace, and a necessary
'step in the 'direction of a perfect and a
'etirdial, friendship between the two
countries. A. sensitive people; • een
scitius of their powers; are more at,ease
under a great Wrong wholly unatoned
than _under 'the; restraint of a settle
ment which satisfies, neither their ideas
of , justfee,nor theirgrave sense of grieve

tion -of, the' , treaty! Was fellewed by' a
state. of publio _feeling. on both. sides

causes of complaint in the gust,, butto
lay the'foundation of a broad principle
of public laW which will prevent dif

satisfactory. It , will be found mere
fully setlorth In.the report of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs. For Su
perintendentS and Indian. : Agents not
on the reservations, °Misers of the army •
were . selected. The reasons for this
tivero numerous, Where Indian Agents
'are sent, there or near there 'troops
must be, sent also, The agent and 'the
commander of troops are Independent
of each other, and are subject' to orders'
cram different departments of the-Gov
ernment. The army officer holds ti po
sition for life ; the agent one at the will ,
'of the President. The former is Per- '
sonally interested in liVing in harmony
withal.° Indian, and in the establish-
ment Of a permanent peace, to the end
that'some portion" of• his life may be '
spent' within the limits of civilized so
clay. !The latter has no such personal
.1
interest. Another reason is an • econo-
mks one ; and still another, the hold
which the Government has upon a life
ofticer to secure 6.-faithful discharge 'of '
duties in carrying seat a given policy. .
The building of rallrbads and the tie,cess
thereby given to all the agricultural and
mineral iegionii of the country is rapidly
bringing civilized settlements into don.
tact with all the tribes of Indians: No
matter what ought to, be the relations
between such settlements and'the abor
igines, the fact is they do not harmonizo
well, and one or the other has to give
-way in the end. A system which looks
to the extinction of race is too horrible
for a nation to adopt without= entailing
upon itself the wrath of all Christen
dom and engendering in. the citizen a
disregard, for human life and the rights
of those dangerous to society ; I see no
substitute for'such a system . except in
placing all the Indians on large reserva
tions as rapidly as can be done, and
giving them absolute protection there
as soon as they are fitted for it. They
should be induced to take their lands in
severally, and set up territorial govern
naer:t' for' their down protection. For
full details on this subject; I call your
special 'attention" to the report of the
Secretary of the Interior and the Coat.:
missioner of Indian Affairs.
