Kirtrnct from IliF speech of Mr. VVildk, on the
Kill for removing the Indians froui the East to
the W est of the Mississippi.
Mr. Wilde proceeded to remark
j upon tli eaclutt l condition of the Chc
rokccs : —These Indians joined the
British in the Revolutionary war.
i They were conquered, and peace
{dictated to them in 1777, when the
t reaty of Dewitt’s Corner was made,.
] by which they admitted they were a
conquered People und ceded all their
country Eastofthe Unicoi mountains.
They again committed hostilities,
and were again conquered in* 1783,
and terms of peace again dictated to
them.—it huS been already shewn
that they continued to commit hosti
lities during the Administration of
Gen Washington, and after tlie trea
jty of Holston. They are now as
i sutned to lie a civilized People, and
: their Constitution -and their press
] are appealed to as evidence of the
j fact.—Their Constitution has bar
barism distinct stamped upon it. It
is not destined to live. It lias the
Hippocratic countenance. The au
cestrial iikcncs evidently appears.
This constitution was the work af
’ white men and half breeds. Its ob
ject was to throw the power of the
j tribe, the lauds, the offices, thean
■ unities of the tribe, into their hands,
i Many us the old and full blooded ln
| diuns are dissatisfied. By Its provi
sions, every subject emigrating loses
I caste, and suffers confiscation. The
j descendants of the Aii icans are ex
j chided from office, and citizenship,
j and all existing laws are continued
:in force.
mild the House have a specimen
[of these Cherokee laws. In 1819,]
j't was enacted, that the impfoVe
-1 incuts'of those who removed to Ar
kansfas, should become the property
J of those Who first took possession of
; them. In the same year, it was en
i acted, that lio white man in the rnt
! tiori should have more than one wife,
I and it Whs recommended that. Chero
] kecs should confenl (hchiselres Vvitli
J 1 ne. This l ecoiiiiiieiKiation was not
I folk >'.ved even by nil the civilized
I chi istian C'fierokees.—Jfe Jiolicvod if
j was well ascertained, that a celebra- |
[ted personage there, who had recei
! veil a classical education, and rnaried j
i a white female of a respectable fa- !
ntily—-he would not give Iqir name ]
or her State—be desired to cx’cith no }
unpleasant feelings in any gentleman I
there, or in any Stale; she was not!
a Georgian, however—-had found it |
I convenient to use the permission of]
j ttie Choroh.ee laws, as he (tad form
erly done the money intended by the j
U. States for the Creek Indians —j
j liberally, and the unfortunate female j
iwlio had imprudently allied herself:
with him, was so distressed us to i
have attcinjgeJ suicide.
What more, sir, in relation to
[those Cherokee laws ?
; In 1808, Regulators , or Light j
j Horse, were appointed and author- j
! ized to execute summary justice, by
inflicting one hundred lashes for!
horse-stealing, and to kill anyone j
resisting them ,
In 1810, tii6 tribO passed “an act.
of rd;iiv’u>n for all lives that may have
been indebted to one another.”
In the same year it was enacted,
“that it a mail has a horse stolen,
and overtake the thief, arid should
his anger be so great as to cause him
Ito kill him, let it remain on his own
[conscience, but rio satisfaction shall
lie required for his life from his rela
! lives or clan lie may have belonged
j to.”*
Would gentlemen tell him by what
evidence such a justification would
he made out?
**###•*
It was to meet the state of things
produced hy those Cherokee laws,
that the act of Georgia was passed :
and the great subject of complaint,
is, that Georgia will not allow’ those
who choose to emigrate, to be whip
ped, nor the Cherokee men to have
as many wives as they please, noi
permit them “to kill in any manner ,
irysst convenient,’ 1 whoever /should at
tempt to sell any of the land of the
tribe. And for this excellant reason,
gentlemen reproach the President,
with not o oring out the force of the
* Documents Ist Session 16th Congress Voi
.-i. Doc, 0g 4
[New Series—No. 7.
11,11011 to prevent the execution of
laws ol (icorffia.
Wluit is the scope and spirit of
these laws? F'yiply to restore the
lull blooded Cherokee*, tlic great
bulk ol the nation, to their free will,
and leave them to decide for them
selies, whether they will emigrate or
not, Unawed by the power and ex
empted from the cruelty of those?
who have in fact enslaved them.
I he law’s of Georgia neither con*
template driving the Cherokees from
their lands, nor any other act of in
justice or oppression against them*.
Sir, what do the very resolutions
of the Legislature of the State of
Georgia, so much complained of, by
the honorable gentleman from New
\ ork, (Air. Storrs,) anti the honora
ble gentlemen from Connecticut,
(Mr. Huntington and Mr. Ellsworth,)
declare.
Resolved, That if such ‘treaty be
held, the president he respectfully re
quested, to instruct the Commission
ers, to lay :i copy of this report lie
foie t.ie Indians in convention, with
such comments as may be consider
ed just and proper, upon the nature
and extent of the Georgia title to the
lauds in controversy, and the proba
ble consequences which will result
from a continued refusal upon the
part oft he Indians, to part with those
lands: and that the Commissioners
he also instructed to grant, if they
lint! it absolutely necessary, reserves
°* laud in favor ot individual Indians,
or inhabitants of the nation, not to
exceed one sixth part of the territory
to he acquired, the same to be sub
ject to future purchase by the Gen
era! Government for the use of
Good in.
Now, sir, said Mr. Wn.nr, it ap*
pears by the oflirnl documents, that
tiicie are about 5,000 Cherokees, ia
Georgia, men women and children,
full blooded, whites, half breeds and
slaves, and they have in their opeti
pancy, or father they claim to about
| live or sis millions of acres of land*
i If one sixth of the land, therefore,
j Was reserved to Indian families, ac
! cording to the /iropusnl made hy
Georgia, in 1827, it would give to
each Indian family ot five persons,
ultout one thousand acres of land, upon
the incredible supposition, that not
one Indian should choose to cmi*
grate and there would yet be left to
the State of Georgia, four or five
millions ol acres of land. Now oner
thousand acres of land, for each In
dian family of five persons, selected
ol course, by the Indians themselves*
is a tolerably pretty little farm.
He bad abstracted fiom the docu
ments of the last Session, the quan
tity of lands held by Indians, in seve
re 1 States, and the quantity of laud
to each. It was as follows :
In Ohio, there were l,B77lndians,
who held 409,501 acres of land, or
212 J acres each. The U. State*
has extinguished the Indian title ter
7,924,471 acies ofland in that State,
since 1802.
In Indiana, there were 4,050 In
dians, who held 5,38-5,032 acres of
laud, or about 1,300 acres on-h.
The Indian title extinguished inti ut
State since 1802, was 16,330,039.
In Illinois, there w ere 5,900 In
dians, who occupied 6,424,640 acres
of land, or upwards of 1,000 acres
each. And the whole Indian title ex
tinguished since 1802, amounted to
29,517,262 acres.
In Mississippi, there was estimat*
ed to be 23,400 Indians,'who held
16,885,780 acres of Innd, oi about
730 acres each ; and there had been
extinguished since 1802, hv the IT.
States the Indian title to 14,155,2G2
acres.
In Louisiana, there were 939
dians: Indian lands none: and 11 1 c.U.
States have extinguished their iit!e
since 1802 to 2,492,000 acres.
In Alabama, there wore 19.200
Indians who held about 9,519,066
acres ofland; and the Indian title tQ
24.482,109 acres had been extin
guished by the U- States since 1802.
The average quantity of land-remain •
mg to each Indian was 490 acres.
In Missouri there are 5,631 In
lians: It does not appear that they
