"Now, if this clause should be put into practical demonstration, it would no doubt be apparent the white race would gain, for it is conceded that in questions of this character the great preponderance of strength of the merchants and miners, who are generously contributing to our national prosperity and greatness, would prevent the association of the races together, for neither by birth nor education could there exist the least friendly relations. Therefore, is it not better that by the removal of this agency further back into the interior, there could be effected a more permanent peace to the country and more general safety to both races.
It might be argued that if there should be a repetition of Indian wars, the race would then be, not only in name but in fact, exterminated, and there would be no further use for agents or agency buildings."
