July 5, 1330. 3—tds 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 “"Id any lands to whid| llJCliaaI IJC liaa jtle lias not been extinguished . Rio whole (jttantuj ofituided
