More from Millard Fillmore
I communicate to the Senate herewith, for its constitutional action thereon, nineteen treaties negotiated by commissioners on the part of the United States with various tribes of Indians in the Territory of Oregon.
The members of the Cabinet are requested, as a further testimony of respect for the deceased, to wear the usual badges of mourning for thirty days.
The nature and objects of the treaty are fully explained by the report of Mr. Harper, who negotiated it in behalf of the United States.
The instructions to the squadron of the United States called for by the resolution will be communicated on an early future occasion.
