JAMES BUCHANAN. By the President: Lnwxs Crass, Secretary of State. TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE. This treaty was concluded September 17, 1851. When it was before the Senate for ratification, certain amendments were made which require the assent of the Tribes, parties to it, before it can be considered a complete instrument. This assent of all the Tribes has not been obtained, and, consequently, although Congress appropriates money for the fulfilment of its stipulations, it is not yet in a proper fom: for publication. This note is added for the purpose of making the references from the Public Laws complete, and as an explanation why the Treaty is not published.
