Indian Affairs and Friends Proposals in Congress
The article discusses General Graht's inaugural hints toward solving the Indian question, favoring moving oversight to the War Department and inviting Friends Society members as Indian agents. A memorial from Friends seeks Penn-era policies and humane treatment, while cautioning against military intercourse. It urges tribal dissolution, land settlement, education, and integration for Indians, with President supporting humane efforts. It notes that church and state should remain separate, with no privileged religious rights, and closes with news of Shearjashub Bourne's death in Hartford at about sixty eight.
