The complaint set forth in this letter, that
surveyors from Georgia have been employ
ed in surveying lands within the Indian Ter
ritory as secured by that Treaty, is authen
ticated by information inofficially received
from other quarters, and there is reason to
believe that one or more of the surveyors
have been arrested in their progress by the
Indians. Their forbearance and reliance
upon the good faith of the United States,
will, it is hoped, avert scenes of violence
and blood, which there is otherwise too
much cause to apprehend will result from
these proceedings
By the 5th section of the act of Congress
of Jhe 30th of March, 1802, to regulate
trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes,
and .to, preserve peaoo on tho fronticro. it w
provided, that if any citizen of, or other
person resident in the United States, shall
make a settlement on any lands belonging,
or secured, or granted by treaty with the
United States to any Indian trihife, or .shall
to prosecution secured to them by the sa
cred pledge of the good faith of this nation.
Copies of these instructions and orders arp
herewith transmitted to Congress.
In abstaining; at this stage of the proceed
ings from the application of any military
force, I have hi?en governed by considera
tions, which will, I trust, meet the concur
rence of the legislature. Among them,
one of paramount importance has been,
that these surveys have been attempted,
and partly effected, under colour of legal
authority from the State of Georgia- That
the surveyors are therefore not to be viewed
in the light of individual and solitary fyans-.
gressors, but as the Agents of a sovereign
Stain, actinst in obedience to antJiority which
they believed to be binding upon them. In
timations have been given that, should they
meet with interruption, th$y would, at all
hazards, he sustained by the military force
of the State, in which event, if the military
force of the Union should have been em
ployed to enforce its violated law, a conflict
must have ensued, which would, in itself,
have inflicted a wound upon the Union, and
have presented the aspect of one of these
confederated States at war with the rest,
nxious', above all, to avert this state of

which th® application of military force by

prescribed for the enforcement of a law, the

my fluty to say, that if the Legislature and

Sir—A few days since, the little Prince
complained to me that the Georgia .Sur

line of the late Treaty; and at his request,
I wrote to them in-his name, requiring them
to desist from surveying any-lands not ceded '
by the Treaty of Washington; but fee se.r-
veyors not regarding this demand as emana
ting .from competent authority, persisted fe
their surveys to fee line run by Georgia, '
Commissioner^, its the line between Geor- ^
gia and Alabama! ‘11- '
Yesterday a number of Chiefs with the \
PrinceWfeeir head, requested me to writp $
again to the Surveyors in their names, xe-
