There was a decided ditl'er-1 enco of opinion as to the existence, of gold in tlio hills. Governor Thayer of Wyoming insisted that the existence of gold there could not be i denial. Pennington, governor of Dakota, was very much inclined to .discredit the gold etcry. He said there was no gold there, and few persons wished to go thero except such ns would cut a throat or scuttle a ship. Ho said a few of the good people of his territory had been misled mis-led and had violated the treaties by going inio t.iat country; but he Wits confident that the people of Dakota had been more modest than their neighbors. Governor Thayer here asked if ti'.e cenfercnee was ft burlesque, bur-lesque, and left in a hull. The prospects pros-pects of tbo negotiation of the treaty are not promising. |
