3IR. LAMAR'S SPEECH.
On Qtc bill Providing for the Removal of the
Indians.
Mr. Speyer? Imii well apprised tliaf lam
about to impose on yoitr exhausted patience a } •
heavy tax; but under existing circumstances, I j 1
shall not conceive myself warranted in prosen?-1
j in* to your consideration more than an epitome .
of the argument which’ was intended to be urged
’ in support of this bill.
| One observation, in justice <0 myself, and w hich
! will favorably the claims 1 have on your
! lime, it not your attention : actuated by consid
erations connected with important intefesis, in
I which Georgia and her citizens are peculiarly,
i and, 1 might add, almost exclusively concerned/
1 I have been induced to abstain f*om debate on all i
j other subjects, thattrtur obligations to listen, and ‘
iny claims to address you, might he increased. {
To advance the success of those interests of the j
State, and her people, requires the exertions of
all the energy and talent of her delegation; and !
such as i possess, shall be devoted to tlifjn.
The gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Test) and
others associated with him, who have preceded
me, presented those objections which on the iirg>
aspect, might be conceived the most formidable
to the bill itself; and the importance attached to
them, th.c fearful apprehensions indulged, from
the power it is supposed to confer on the Picsi
dent. and the fatal consequences predicted from
1 if. demand an answer. This they shall receive
j We are informed fay the gentleman from New
j York, (Mr. Storrs.) that the history and experi
ence of all governments should admonish 11s that
power has a tendency to concentrate in the Exe
cutive Department of Gevcrnmcnt. and that it
ipsitiious SBCroacliinciit*, vvlyph have undejuiip-
[New Series—No. 0.
Itd the liberties of nations in j;, .i turn < n ,iua
j te<l fiom that source; that na:;onngo is danffer
j ous% and is increas-ed by filer brii; that, by it, ti*
: tied principles of ilie aebon oftltis Government
j are subverted; that treaties are superseded, and
j that (lie President will have an unlimited discre*
j lion to do what l:ev*#lbrc requited the concur*
euce of two tlurds of the Souute to accomplish.
\ But, bir, let inf call your attention to the hill, and
j * hazard nothing in saying, that a partial ex anal*
i naiioii ofits pm vision., will satisfy every unprejtt*
diced mind, that no such exceptions exist, tex*
CO Pf * n )he gentleman’s itnaginatiCin.
1 lie Ist section requires the Pi esident t<rc>ius6
to be laid out, of the territory to which the indiaii
title has been extinguish!, West of the Mississip
pi a suitable number of districts, for the rcccpJ
tion of such tubes or nations of Indians, a3 may
choose to exchange llieir land.
1 he 2d only provides for the exchange, of ter
ritory; and the S<\ requit es thaf, in ’making the
exchange, the President shall cause a guarantee,
to be made.them, oral their election to issue i
patent subject to revert to the V. States, if the
Indians become extinct or nbaiHlnu tlie same.
1 he -Itli provides for tlsc payment for such im
provements jk add value To Uic lands claimed by
individual-!, to be a&certsuacd by cummibsiuneas
appointed lor the purpose.
ihe Mil ‘section extends to the emigrants the’
necessary assistance to enable them to remove,
and such aid as may be required for their support
and sub'hfcnro for the first year.
‘J lie fith enjoins it as a duty on the President,’
to protect them in their new residence from the
interruption and disturbance of other tribes, and
all other persons.
The 7ih and BfH sections preserve their rclati
otts with this Government as they have hereto
fore existed; and appropriate live hundred thou
sand dollars to died the purposes specified fn
tne bid. Ibis, Sir, is the bill so full of danger,
patronage, and power; *So little merciful to the
••poor Indianswhich is to produce among the
nations of the earth a moral disgust, an# draw
down upon us the vengeance of ileaven?
Sir, so far from the bill coiifering on the Presi
dent these alarming powers, or in nfiv way inter
fering with the making of treaties, he will’ he tire
instrument to consummate the legislative wills
to see the object nccotnpiishfcd in tlie manner
Congress shall direct; and the manner ns well as
tli# means of doing it are expressly designated
anil diluted in the bill. 11c will occupy the huriM
hie station ol u suho: diualc agent, vs nit no more
control than is confefed 611 him in the execution
of other public acts, and not so touch as lie has.
in the disbursement of the millions annually ex
pended upon thqfoxigcncics of Government.
Another objection to the lull is, that the same
object can be attained by treaty, and that it w
dangerous to depart from t!.c astahlished usage
ol tlie Government by the introduction into if of
this new principle of action, ‘i hese I regard u
mere assumptions, and will join issue in point cf
fuel with the gentlemen who urge them. The
1 history of our Indian relations refutes every post*’
I tion assumed on these points ; and it will to u
j difficult task lor certain gentlemen here, who
I have thrown (he w hole Weight ol their influence hi
[ opposition ter this bill, to extricate fficmsclve#
from the Charge ftTMedusisleucy
j iue hid ol ittilG, for the removal of the Creek
Indians, commanded their talents and support;
and their registered votes shew that, at that time,
many of those, who are now directing the most
fixed and violent opposition to the present mens
uif, <■ liter turned vctj views as regards
j tins policy. Ur Vain may they fitfentpt to ifiscii
iiiiuate between the two bills: if cannot be done y
j and a regard lor consistency, or tluf'drcad of ex
posure, Ims pi evented then in argument Iroui
| making the slightest allusion to it. J repeat it,
there /s no new principle insisted on, nor is tho
. plafi * 1 Indian emigration anew or visionary
I project.
Mi. J (fir rso n, hi 1805, in a letter to Gen. Gates,
assigns it as our of the benefits to he nccompiiUU-’
tI bv the *-c*|uisiiion of Louisiana. Mr. Monroe
considered it 1 inoinentoi'3 .subject; one'which
should enlist in its support tfie exertions of the
(■overmiient, as tfit* only means of fulliliinta the
compact of the U. States with Georgia; and one
| to n such the hopes of the philanthopliist should
I bt* directed with liveliest concern, as the destiny
| <.l the liiumif was suspended 1 on its success,
j Alter Mr. Adams became involved in the con
| troveny with Georgia, airti from which he wax
not ati tle anxious to be relieved, he displayed'*
j an earnest solicitude to adv ance fhc success ot this
policy of the Govcrurm.nt; and in no State Px
! per has the propriety cf Indian emigration beau
: more favorably presented to the American peoA
pie, than it was in the one transmitted to Con*
tgM'ss by the late Secietnry of War, Gen. Fortcfk
| lime, it w ,;i supposed there \vas a uuioa
i of hearts and this sdlijcct, mid thaf
the consent of the Indians was the only impedi
ment to Hus desiiahle object. But within tlie
Inst twelve months tre hove Witnessed Some most
extraordinary changes of opinion * and nowgt
most detennined hostility is waged against thih
laVoj iiy policy of former ttdroinistralions.
1 Having shown, rhtn, lit nothing rrew is c<n
--t tempi!-.ted by the hill, 1 will now endeavor
j prove that it's object cannot be attained by iret-
My- Sir wi : whom wouldytMi treat? and whose
. consent would be necessary in (he formation ofn.
I treaty? A lew arrogant chiefs, half breeds, and
iraegnde white men, control theCherrol.ee na*
• ion.* The voire of the people is not heard in
their council. They may be disposed to emi
grate, but She chiefs rule; they refute to treat,
and the majority vs tlie Indians are thus defeated
in their w i hes. But, under the provisions of
this hill the scene will he reversed. The Cher
j okccs not in inithority will be permitted to move
j or not, at (heir election, without *ne fear of dea
I or a Confiscation of their property, and will cm
! joy that freedom of action of which they are now
deprived.
With the information that* *his bouse has, do
gentlemen suppose that them is the most remote
prospfcct of (fearing successfully with those wii*
control the afinirs of the nation? f)<y
not the same causes which rendered’ the efforts
unavailing heretofore still exist ? The amnu'ne
received fronf ilm Government by them has ad
■ ded new cause of difficulty, and lessened the hope.
I ofsnccg!**. When an annuity is paid, it is dcpo*
J sited in tFieir national tie tsury. Who receive !. ‘
j The Cherokees, as a people, w itfa whom it waji
formerly distributed, nr those officers who admi-
I nister this recently organizetl government of
| theirs? Sir, the ovu grow n fortunes of the las
fer, and the degradation and poverty of the fer*
: inch, furnish the answer.
, In proportion, Dun as the aggregate number
<►( 11.eir population is lessened by emigration, ivip,
the amount of the annuity received by the cliie-i
he diminished, as a rateable part will pass t > tlv.se
