Sam Houston and the Presidency
The following we take from a printed slip sent to us by our Doaksville correspondent, who informs us that it was sent to that office just as he sends it. We presume that it is the programme laid down by some of the Texas papers, friendly to the election of Sam Houston to the Presidency....
Re-organization of the Territories
1. The organization of the Aboriginal Territory of Decotah, from that part of the late Territory of Minnesota, lying west of the State of Minnesota.
2. To fix the western boundaries of Kansas and Nebraska, at the Meridian 99 or 100; and to establish in those Territories, Aboriginal counties, for the exclusive and permanent occupation of the Aboriginal tribes now located east of that line and within those Territories; also to provide, that said Territories shall not be admitted into the Union as States unless their several Constitutions provide for the continuation of the Federal regulations adopted for better government and welfare of the Aboriginal tribes inhabiting the same.
3. To organize the Indian territory lying west of Arkansas, as “the Aboriginal Territory of Neosho,” under regulation similar to those proposed by Hon. Robert W. Johnson of Arkansas in 1854 for the organization of the Indian territory of Neosho.
4. To purchase from the State of Texas all that portion of the State lying north of the Red river and include the same in the Aboriginal territory of Comanche or Ouachita.
5. The territory of New Mexico.
6. From the western portion of New Mexico to take the Aboriginal territory of Navajoe.
7. From the western portion of Utah, to take the Aboriginal territory of Shoshone.
