The same eaaea prevented their engaging in thsehase, the principal source of their supplies in time cf peace.

The diff,.r ©n-ein <h“ result of the management of ‘this fond ante to the 2lst of Deeem "her, 1309 from that which is exhibited in these titesnenfa dot ing the four years pre ceding the 31st ci’ March, 1845, is no doubt, in a great, degree, theeffevt of the experience acquired by the ’prosecurion of the trade, It is probable, that a more intimate acquain ts e with th nature of the commerce, a ‘ Snore -kilful selection of the goods, and of the a,outs employed in vending them, and a j ©ons’d-ratio increase of the capital invest-; 0 in it, will in a short time, produce a! small anil gradually increasing profit, after! dfr yieg-ll the expences incident to the c*.t.'.btiaSnun *>t, which ate now payable cut of the public Treasury. Under rite most akHtul management,the profits cannot be, an itadu wut for continuing the system Isow in operation That iodueemcat, ii‘ it , exists at nil, must be found in the influence f tvK h it .;tves the government over the In- ! dian tribca within r*jr limiis, by administer- j Ing to their wants, their com-!

Ibe exclusion us nil in- j between them and (he whites,ex-i cept those who have the permission of the j travelOment, and over whose conduct a di- | reet control is exercised, has insensibly ! contributed to thia dcs<reb|e object.

This results co less from the intrinsic dihferer>ee between the two kinds of property, thnni’rom thedifter-'’ ent efterta produced by human industry and ingenuity exerted open them. The facility of rcQioving persour.l property from place to place, eeeorrting to the will or conve nience of the owner, gives to this species of property, in the esiitnalion of the htlTits inau, a value seperior to property in lands, which his vvuiiißj as well as bis habits, com pel him annually to desert for a consider-, able portion of the year* To succeed per fectly in the attempt Uremlhee the abori gines of ibis country, the government ought to direct their attention to the improvement of their habitations, and the multiplication of distinct settlements. As an indu . etnent to this end, the different agents should be instructed to give them insuranceg, that in any treaty for the purchase f lands f. oiu their respective trihes, one insie square,in cluding every ‘espen.te settlMuent, should be rererved to the settler, wbi h should be come a fee simple estate, after the expirati du of a certain number of years of actual residence upon, and cultivation of it. Per haps an additional reservation of a quarter or half section of land to each member of such ftmilyywoold add to the inducements,nof only to snake such separate settlements, but to the raising of a family. 14 measures of thir kind were adopted by the government, and steadily pursued for-.i series ofyears, while - - it the sanie tuns, ft spirit of liberality wai exhibited ia the commerce which we m with tlrern. success, the mo?it complete.’ miht he confidently expected, But com merce with onr Indian neighbors, presneu ted only upon a contracted scale, and upon the principles of cn'mmercii'i profit, | would tend not only to dimioish tlieiiifln enc of tie govoumeut with them, but could not fail eutirely to alienate tbeir af fectiiin from ito A period has arrived when itl.e trade must he greatly extended, or en tirely ’>bndonedto individual enterprise. To reserve the trade in the hands of the government, whilst the Wonts of the Indiana are but p.xrtiofv supplid, would be to m ike them feci its ir.flu'eoce only io their privations and wretcheduess.
