They claim that their chief re-^ « aMk a M a A A a A' V f'A ai MCserved a portion, of their lands, and that the chiefs of the Sacs were not authorized to act for them. Their object is to get possession of their old lands again. The Legislature, by law, now permits them to hold title to lands within certain limits.Their interview with the Governor was conducted with Roman dignity and the speech of their orator for the occasion was a dignified and powerful specimen of native eloquence, which, doubtless, lost much of its strength by its imperfect interpretation.
