Mr. Thompson, ot Ge-ugia, from (he Com ‘
mil tee on Indian Affairs, made the fol- *
lowing '
REPORT;
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to whom ,
ions referred a resolution directing nn in - (
quin/ into the expediency of providing by ,
Uao for carrying into full ff,ct the pri>
visions of tin 1 4 Hi article f the treaty of
1821 between the United Slate « and ihe
Creek Indians, so far ns teg aril t the
claims of th‘ citizens of Georgia fo< in
j ties committed prior to the year 1802
hmlte the following Heport s
Thir , by (lie 4tb article of the treaty.cmi
cl'.t-le Eat the Indian Spring, on the 8 h day
oi January, 1821, between (he U. S ates
and the chiefs, head men, and warriors ot
the Creek nation of Indians, the U..iied
States stipulated and bound themselves to
pay to the Slate nf Georgia, in five" annual
instalments, without interest, the balaito
which , hnuldhe L und due from the said
ua*ion 'o ci i;t”i- of said state; provided,
the »tine should nut exceed the sum of two
hundred and ti* y thousand dollars, to bo as
certained by uiljustmeut to be made, confor
mable to reference agreed upon, on the day
and year Jure*.id, between commissioners
on the part of Georgia ..ml the said duets,
head men, and waniurs ot said nation, on
c edition th vl the said commissioners should
execute a release to said nation, of all claims
of citizens of said State, of whatever de
scription, against said Indians, for property
taken or destroyed by said I diatts prior to
the licit of Congress passed in 1802, regu
lating trade and in,etcourse wi ll Indian
tribes. That the coinmis-ioners on the pan
of G , orgi«,‘dtd. in due form, execute the
elease contemplated by the treaty, which
ret. ,se, cu inlly wi h the assumption by
ti.. United States, of the debt due from the
•aid'nation locitizens of Georgia ; and the
acceptance bv die commissioners ot Georgia
of the ob'ig.tton 'lnis insured by the Ui.ited
States, nut only ctf.’Cted an entire exonera
tion of said Indians from ail claims of the
ci zens of Georgia against theta, but placed
the United S’utet in the precise relation to
the Georgia claimants in which sa'd Indi
ans stood, with (his single exception ; the
United States were not b Mind, in any event,
to p-’v ,i sum exceeding two hundred amlj
tis y thousand dollais; whereas the aggre-;
gate amount of the claims of the ci'tzens oil
Georgia, Qgainst 1 Indians, exceeded
th i* amount. That tie reference by the a
greeinenl between theGeorgii commission-;
ei - s and the chiefs, bead men, nrul warriors
of sml nation, was made to the President
of the United States, in hit official chctrac
ter, who in the adjustment of the claims so
referred, adopted a rule of construction!
foreign, and contrary, to the obvinus inten
tions of the parties who made the reference.j
It is clear that the 'rea’y referred to, wa»:
h tended to supeised * atl other treaties mad, j
wilusaid Indiana, in reference to suit! claim:!
'tr.i yel, the rule of construction adopted by
the President, consults other treaties made
wi'h those Indians, long prior to the treaty!
I°( 1821, It is equally clearly deducible.j
from (lie treaty of 1821, and the agreement'
h’tween the Georgia commissioners and ;
those Indians, that all claims which origin- 1
ated prior to the passage of the act of Con- ,
gress b fore referred to, predicated upon the
taking or destruction by the Greek Indians,:
of property which belonged to citizens of
Georgia, if satisfactorily t subbshed, -were
intended, by the, contracting parties, to be
allowed and paid out of tiie two hundred
and tjfiy thousand dollars which was stipu
lated to be paid by the United States. Yet
the rule of cons'ruction adopted by the Pre
sident, in the adjustment of the claims so
referred, excludes not only all claims foun-!
'lt'd upon the destni’-'ion of property by said!
Indians, and upon the increase of tlave pro
perty, but the claim for Interest on the a
mount of Ibe true value of the property so ta
ken or destroyed, is also excluded.
By an examination of the. 4 h article nf
the treaty before referred to, with the agree
ment emered into between the Georgia' l
commissioners and tluj chiefs, head men,lj
ind warriors, of the Creek nation ot lndi-|
ins, it will be perceived that claims found-;]
?d upon the destruction of prnpery, are in-3
eluded, clearly contemplated, and provided *
for. Therefore, as no satisfactory reason has '
seen, nr can be advanced, why this class of *
claims should be totally excluded, justice to 1
the claimants, as well as a regard to the ob- '
vious intentions of the contracting parties, *
requires that all claims coming within this f
description, which may be satisfactorily es- 1
tabbshed, should be allowed and paid. (
While it is readily admitted that the U.J*
States are “xemp ed from the payment of|“
interest on the several instalments, by them)
assumed, to the Georgia claimants, by the *
>-xp'«s« piovismns of the treaty of 1821,3
your commi ts believe that a careful inves
ligd'ion of the rmri's of the claim of citizens 1
ot Georgia to mietcst «n the amount of their !
clitmu, will lead to the conclusion that in- J
I cr* st ought tube allowed and paid out of
the 8250 000, (the maximum stipulated to ’
be paid by tin* United States) on all claims 1
which have been or may be established,;*
founded on the capture and detention, as!'
well as upon the destruction bv said Indi-j*
ans, of property which, prior to (lie date of,'
the act of Congees-. regula'ing trade and in- 1
tercourse with Indian tribes, b’long d to'
citizens of Georgia. By the treaty of 1821,.
before referred to, the United States stipu- 1
iatul to pay to the State nf Georgia, a sum,
not exceeding 8250,000, as part considera
ion for land which the Creek nation nt In-1
di.ms ceded, by said treaty, to the United
States. Under the operation of the rule of;
rnnsfriirtim adopted by the President nf the
United States, in the adjustment.of,the'
claims referred to him, the sum ot 8101.319
22 alone has been applied tn 'he p’ ymen - of!
those claims, leaving, of the 8250 000, an
unexpended balance of 8*48,680 78 If;
none of the claims provided to roy the treaty j
remained still unpaid, a question would a
rise, as to whom this large balance rightful
ly belongs. the United States or the Creek
nation of Indians ? 1 is believed, (hat a
lerence to the treaty, with the transactions
immediately cmn* ,cted with it, will afford
to the H ’use sufficient reason to conclude,
that lie Indians considered the 8200,000
, which the Uoi'cd S'ates stipulated to pay
in money to the Creek nation, with a lull
i and final release from the claims of citizens
I of Georgia, a full equivalent for the territory
I ceded by the treaty; and that those Indi
ans did not look to any balance of the 8250.,-
i 000, which might remuin after the payment
, of the Georgia claims, as belonging to ihe
. na'ion; for, it is reasonable to suppose, (hat
the Georgia commissioners, who represent
ed the claimants, and presented to the ne
> gocialing parties a list of claims of citizens
i of Georgia, the evidence of which had been
, collected under the superintending control
i of the Government of that Stale, am un ing,
I in (lie aggregate, to more than 8280 000,
i urged the stipulation of a sum sufficiently
Imge to cover the claims which might be es
tablished against the Creek na ion; while
i 'he commissioners, oq the part of the Uni
ted S ates, labored for the stipulation of as
limited a sum, as a strict regard to a com
mendable iibe<ali*y, a desire to effect an ad
jus ment of a difficulty of long standing, the
principles ol jus'ice, and the interests of the
United States, would justify or require: ami
> that the Indians, satisfied to receive the
B'oo 000 ill money from (he United States,
i wi han entire release from the Georgia
I claims, as an equivalent for the territory
ceded by them to the United States, were
. content, therefore, to leave the adjustment
of the amount which should be stipulated to
, pay those claims, to the Georgia and the
United States’commissioners. It is obvious
■ to your committee, (hat while the Indians
considered the 8200,000 stipulated, in the
(treaty, to be pant in money to the nation by
the United States, with an entire release
I from all claims of the citizens of Georgia a
gainst the Creek Indians, a full and (sir e
jquivalcnt for the territory ceded by thetrea
jty; (hat th# United States considered the
8250,000, stipulated to be paid by them to
the Georgia claimants, with the 8200 000
stipulated to be paid by them in money to
the Indians, not more than an equivalent for
| lie territory eo ceded by the treaty. It
{billows, therefore, that tho Creek Indians
have no claim to the unexpended balance ol
ithe 8250,000 stipulated *o be ptid by the
j United States to the Georgia claimants
! The question then occurs, whether the
Georgia claimants have not a getter right
ijt<> such unexperd d balance, or to so much
inf it as will pay mem a reasomble per ceoi
'interest from the date of he commcnce-
I'nent of their claims, until final pbyrnont on
Ithe amount of claims which hive been, or
may be established, thin ihe United Siates
.have f The admission of hose claims now,
is conclusive evidence that the c’aimant*
; were entitled to have received from those
Indians, at the time the property was taken
or destroyed, the who « amount of money
which has been, or may be at judged to ih
claimants as the then value of ihcir proper
ty. Many ot the claimants may have lost
jtheir all by the depredations of those Indi
ans, in consequence ot which they, perhaps,
'have ever since waged a ceaseless conflict
I with poverty and iis concomitant evils.
I They were deprived of the use of the
jcapital they had vested in tlie p r «peit«
I which was thus taken away or ‘lsstroyed ;
and which may have formed their only
| means of betterlng their pecuniary coudi
j'ion. Tue use of any and all properly, ci
pher on hire, rent, or lease, entitles the bona
1 fide owner, by the universal suffrage of man
kind, to some consideration' tor such use.
While the claimants have been deprived of
the use ot the capital which they had vested
in the property thus taken away or destroy
ed by the Indiana, those Indians have been
in the enj lyment of the benefits resulting
from i<s use. Jus’icc, therefore, requires'
that u reasonable allowance should be made]
in favor of (t * claimants for ihc damages
which they have sus'ained by being wroi g-|
fully deprived of the use of their property.
A careful examination of the tneriis of the
claims, founded upon the increase ol the fe
male slaves which were taken and carried
away by those Indians, would, it is believed,
lead to a similar result. Those who are at
all conversant wi.h the considerations which
form the criterion by which the value of
slave properly is es imated, know that a
much higher value is eel on a female siave,
in consequence of an anticipation of in
crease. therefore, a-3 'he claimant, whose
female slave was taken by those Indians &.
earned away, had m property in
in the i-sue of such f emale slave, principles
of common sense &, common ju-'ice would
award to the righvlul ow o r, ~ rests ution of!
such increase, or au equivalent in lieu there
of, especially, as by ihe taws of Georgia
!(which is a common law principle) the issue l
of a female slave follows the condition of
the mother : hence, in an action of trover
and conversion, for the recovery of a fe
male slave who may have hgd issue after
Ithe conversion, if the plaintiff proves his 1
[right of property in, with his right of pos
session of ihe mother, he recovers su h is
sue with the mother. But, aware as your
commit!. -re. of the great, not to say insu
per ble ft, es which would oppose an
ecioitah, at of this class of claims,
•]«nd !>» to an allowance of an an-
Inuul im. .et six per cent, on the true Va
r.ltS of ~ prop- .- - takan « J ——r
[jno- t>. s. is bi st calculated to meet
jit <1 aiuev but a fair compromise
io iioc. e>' r.-le?u for, the claims founded
Mo i if slave property. Your
Committee iheielore respectful!j' reCoin
, mend, as a full am) final adjustment of the
I claims of citizens of Georgia, under the 4'h
article of the treaty before referred to, that
j an annual interest of sis per- cent, be al
lowed and paid on alt claims of citizens of
I Georgia, which have been or may be estab
lished against the Creek Indians, under the
r provisions of the treaty of 1821, between
j the United States and the Creek nation of
Indians, to be calculated from the date of
j the origination of the claims respectively,
, the amount of the principal to be cletermiu
( ed by the true value of the property at the
lime it was taken and carried away or de
stroyed. if the aggregate amount of claimt
8 which have been, and hereafter shall be es
j tablished and allowed, with the mteres
I thereon, shall be found to exceed the sun
of two hundred and fifty thousand doUars
’ your committee recommend that, after th<
y . payment ot the principal of Ihc claims ras
Jpeciively, a pro rata allowance for interes
e jbe paid out of the unexpended balance, i
any, to the respective claimant*.
, Believing that the provisions of the frea
„ f y of 1821, the intentions of the contraotiaj
parties, us well as the principles of Jus tic*
e require that claims of citizens of Georgia
B founded upon the capture and detention
j and upon the destruction, by the Creek In
e dians, ot propeity, which prior to 1802 be
longed to those citizens, with the claim o
j interest on the amount which has been o
f may be adjudged to the claimants as the va
litre’of their lust property, ought to be al
‘ lowed and paid out of the 8250,000 slipu
j lated to be paid by the United Btat> s to th<
? State of Georgia, the committee herewitl
j report a bill.

t These resolutions Mr. P moved to refer

t Mr. BEARDSLEY, of New York, ob
jecting to the phraseology of the resolutions,
tjwished to Hmend ihem so as to limit them
' to an ins ruc inn to it quire into the subject.
5: The SPEAKER said that no amendment
Vcould now be made, because the pending

Mr. EVERErr, of Massachusetts, re
ferring to the difficulty experienced in get
