Dayton, Yamhill Co., April 18, 'CO.
At n public meeting ol tho citizens of
Piiyioii and vicinity, convened at Payton
on tho 18lh of April, 13j0, to tuko into
consideration the resolutions adopted by tho
citizens of Lafavetto relative lo tlio acts of
Ceii, Joel Palm eu as Supt. of Indian Af
fairs of Oregon Territory, nnd to refuto tho
charges imputed to him by a correspondent
of lha Orcyon Stalamitn signed "w.,'
indited at Dayton on tho 7:Iiint., Wm.
Graham was chosen President, and D. C.
Kkm.ev, Secretory.
On motion, Courtney Walker, Dr. A. 0.
Henry, Willits Star, John Thcsning, and
Thos Turner weio chosen to draft resolu
tions expressive of tho sentiments of the
meeting; when lho fo'lowing resolutions
Were reported nnd adopted :
Wheheas, We havo seen with inticlt re
gret a scries of resolutions adopted by a
public meeting hell in Lul'ayctto on tho 1st
insl., that not only reflects wMi much se
verity upon tho OJicial notion of our friend
nnd neighbor lien'. Joel Palmer, Superin
tendent of Indian Affairs, but also with
eijual severity upon his privato character,
impugning his motives, and charging him
in direct terms with duplicity and falsehood:
And Whereas, We havo not only seen
with regret, but with surprise nnd astonish
ment, nn anonymous article over tho sign
turo of "V," in the "Oregon Statesman"
of sho loth inst., which has been sent foith
to tho world containing charges, in our opin
ion the most unjust and libellous, and which
if permitted to remain uncontradicted might
iullict a serious Injury upon the character
of (Jen. Palmor where he is not personally
known ; Therefore,
JiesoJeed, That having known Gen. rai
nier intimately for many years wo havo no
hesitation in expressing our entiro confi
dence in his honesty, integrity, and frank
sincerity ; and that wo regard tho asper
sions cast upon his hitherto untarnished
fama as a most gross and unprovoked out
rago, and meriting our unqualified repre
hension. 2. Jtetolvetl, That in defending the pub
lic and privato character of our 1'rioud nnd
neighbor from the unjust and wicked as
saults iuado upon him, we would not bo
ml.i.iod as either endorsing or disnp
""". nnhW if tho present national
PaT'"?J I"' ' bein A-rricd intoef
Administration, now wma
feet by the Superintendent v.- iHer,
towards the Indians of Oregon Territory".
3. liesulved, That whateverodium may
ittach to lha policy, of colonizing tho In
dians upon tho coast reservation in tho es
timation of tho citizens of the Willamette
yalley, il should bo made to all upon the
Administration at Washington City, and
pot upon their Agent Gen. Palmor, whoso
official action is directed by specific instruc
tions from the head of the Indian Dapirt
Hjpqt of the Government.
4. Resolved, That we do not bold the
Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Ore
gon Territory responsible to the citizens of
Yamhill and Polk counties, exclusively for
the manner in which he may discharge bi
official duties.

We lppe that Dr. Adai will excuse us
fur inserting Lis short letter to complimen
tary to Tut? Akcti and the L'banon.post
master. We are truly glad to hear that
the post-master aforesaid has set bit lions
in order and attends to Lis duty faithfully.
W heard a considerable complaint from
that ijuartcr a few months ago, and rather
came down on the office. For this reason
wo ih"ii;lit it our duty to publish tho Doc
tor's letter in order to make tb proper cor
rection, at tbo proper time. We wish that
tbo Dr. Lad stated more f articularly tbo
circumstancos connected with those missing
numbers of Tub Akgus. If our package
for Lebanon arrive, containing no paper
for lit in, the fault must lie in our own office.
If the whole pnekngo fnilv, the fault is in
the post office somewhere. It is truly
painful to us to henr of such failures, es
pecially when such friends as Dr. A Pita
aro deprived of their paper.
