Mr. MCDOUGALL. I do not dispute the point of present judgment with the Senfrom Wisconsin, the chairman of the ComIndAffrs, whose particular business it is to understand the present question. Indeed, I think he is altogether right in the present statement of what he desires to have done by the Government. I think he is alto gether wrong, though, in the philosophy of his policy. The remarks that made some few minutes since were designed rather to express my view of what should be the policy than what m1 ht be the properthing now to be done. I anderstand that our Government through its properofficers has invited, for treat purposes, the Sioux Indians north of 4ve degrees into council. This having been done, it should be exactly executed, for the faith of the government is involved in it. My remarks, when I rose before, were directed to the permanent policy, not the present action. Those Indians iaving been assured that we will treat with them, and having been invited to meet us, they must be treated as they have been treated here tofore. I only wish to say now that I desire to have done with that policy. I do not think that we have been out of the order of life or nature because the Indian has retroceded from the country where he was born, westward and west ward still, crowded by the regress of high:iv ilization. I do not think that wron. I think it is one of the provisions of the aster that thus it should be so. It is leasant to me to think that the country thatlI properly inhabit is now occupied by the Caucasian race, and it there masters. It must happen so, for there is a progression of races, and that progression we have seen through all ages, from the Pelasgi and the fair haired men from the North who came down from old scand inavia and made the heroes of Greece and then in Rome; they who conquered, debilitated, and demoralized Italy. All these things indicate that there is a progression of races. I would not willingly injure one of the race who inhabited our country when the 1st white man landed on these shores. I am partial to the Indian race. I was taught in my childhood by the Oneidas
