suggest therefore the expediency and the importance of some action on your part by memorial or otherwise to express to our Representatives in Cou cress our deep conviction that immediate and vigorous measures should be taken to relieve and foster this branch of national Industry IXDIAV8 OF THE COMMONWEALTH There are scattered over the State more than one thousand of our people called Indi ana who are placed under partial civil disabilities and who are politically disfranchised They are not paupers nor slaves and yet not citizens They are treated as the wards ol the Commonwealth recipients of Its charities but debarred Irom all agency In making the laws by which they are governed It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the reasons why this political anomaly should 30 long have existed in this Commonwealth It should exist no longer These persons are not Indians in aBy seue of the word It is doubtful if there is a pure-blooded Indian In the State The largest number resides in or near the Marebpee District and on Vineyard A majority have more or less of the marked characterlsfics of the aboriginal race but there are many without a drop of Indian blood in their veins The marriage of a for figner with a member of the tribe transforms the foreigner into an Indian The result of this singular system has been a heterogeneous population in which the characteristics of the white and negro races have already nearly ob Iiterated all traces of the Indian It cannot be doubted that the Indians of this Commonwealth are as well fitted to exer- else alt the functions of citizenship as any other of mtr citizens in the same condition of life or rather as any other of our citizens would be who had labored so long under aim liar disabilities It will hard'y be denied that the tendency of these disabilities has been to increase and perpetuate their Incapacity for Citizenship or that thp shortest and nest method to fit them to discharge its duties is to place upon them all its There is ro reason why the exceptional poll cy hitherto apphed to these Indians should be continued and the sooner they are merged in the general community the better It will be for them and the more creditable to the Coin monwealth National affairs are discussed at consider-ablelengtby the Governor congratulating the State and country upon the election of Gen Grant and the triumph of republican
