'Haying resjded among the red men for a long while, and being perfectly, familiar with the leading traits of their character, his opinions are entitled f to considera- lion, lie is uot a ianautvout on vne contrary a person of great sagacity who - has performed many beneficent deeds.'! Bishop, Whipple believes that j the peace policy ' has' uono" more for Indian civilization than rail that the' government 1 had- donej before. . The' difficulty was, says the good bishop,; that the fanjts of the old policy were left at work;-that 300,000 men were left living witnin oor own Doraers out a vestige ofi government or without estige the slightest protection to - person; property or life, and we persisted in telling these heathen: tribes that they were independent nations '.Thei .vio lation of the .most solemn treaties' -is next referred t,': thoughs President Grant is emphatically l exonerated from I any;,,:redponsibilityl "jtherefor. Some shocking examples are-given of 'the, miserable outrages practised upon these poor creatures. Bishop Whip-" pie's conviction is that -the Indian bureau ought to be an , indepen dent 'department, . and the proteci tion of law, personal rights 'and property : extended to the Indians. He strikes the key-note of the whole question1 when Jhe says t In. Canada the Indian treaty calls, these men the Indian subjects of 'her majesty, and there they have no Indian wars or. massacres-They are ; amenable to law and protected byla,i Bishop Whipple proceeds to mako various "'-i if t WW i J : V WILIVUNGTON: N.
