behave evUry, ; reaS«>n tp believe, and
2>e dyd, fcejieve, that it wns the wish,
■ both of the Governor, nnd of the I’resl
ddeut, that AJoorgia should exercise u little i
—WW»-J————l———«——i
urther forbearance; nnd although lie
would not feel bound by the wishes of
■'dlier, yet ke felt disposed to promote
heir views as far as he could promote
them, consistently with his duties. Mr-
I', here referred to the Governor’s Mes
sage, vVlilch. at the same time that k as '
serfs flic righ- to survey, yet add*, under
existing circumstances, “that it would be
magnanimously forbearing, in ihe Legis
lature. perhaps wise, to delay the adop
tion of that measure for die present.
>lr. T. was not uuthncized to cite mem
bers to certain uulkorilieH, for his beliel,
that the President anxiously desired fur
ther forbearance on the part of Georgia,
lint he apprehended that the fart was ab
solutely known to many members. Tito
duties of Governor, nnd of President,
were sufficiently arduous, without tmreu- 1
sellable opposition ; lie would not add to
their ardumisness by unnecessary inter
ference. Mr. T. was of opinion the pre
sent was a question of delay only, not of
abandonment. tty exorcising a little
farther delay, there was reason to hope,
that we -should obtain, by moderate
means, What it would now require force
to obtain : and a resort to force might be
resisted by force.
The Indian right of oecnpnnry had
been questioned : be would prove the ex
isteuee oftbnt right. Mr. T hero rend
the opinion of Doet r Morse, an author
ized agent of the general government, as
contained in Ids report, published by au
thority, page 67, which constantly recog 1
nized Ihe Indian rigid of occupancy.—
Should it be said that Dr. Morse was
more of a divine than a lawyer, let it lie
remembered, that his opinion was found
ed on, and sustained by, the opinion of an
eminent lawyer, published in his appen
dix, p. 276.
'/’lie right was also sustained by the
decisions of the Supreme court. Jn llie
case of Fletcher mid Peck, the. court de
clared that the “right was to l>e respect
ed by all courts till it. was legitimately
extinguished.” See also the cast; of
Johnston vs. Mclntosh—Wheaton’s Ke- 1
ports.
The doctrines of the Supreme marl
had also been recognized, nmi enforc
ed, by our own courts. See the decis
ion in the casus of cert id n reserves im-
AiV the treaties with the Chcrokees in
1817-IP.
It might be supposed, that an net oftke
Legislature, such ns was now proposed,
would lawfully extinguish tie- Indian
right. This would not be the fart; lor, al
though a former act of the Legislature
subjected the reserves aforesaid to dis
position by lottery, yet (Ids did not, even
in the estimation of our own tribunals,
extinguish the Indian title.
Met the declaration made by the Pre
sident, in Ids .Message at the commence
ment of last session of Congress, had
been relied on, ns llie strong ground, to
sustain tlioudvoeales of immediide sur
vey. The President had said, that the
Italian could not be supposed to have a
valid title to all the land lie had seen
from the mountain or passed in the chase.
Lillie ns General JneK'On was in the
habit of indulging in flourishes, It appear
ed to Alt'. T. that this was a mere rheto
rical flourish, and would be found unsus
ceptible, or very difficult, of practical up
plication.
Uesidcs, since the date of the Presi
dent's Message, Fongress have spoken
authoritatively upon this point. To the
7th section oftlie Indian lull, passed near
llie close of their late session, is attached
a provision, “nothing in this net ronlnin
edslndlbe construed us authorising or
directing the violation of any existing
treaty between the U. States and any of
the Indian tribes.” The treaties, then,
and not Gen. Jackson's enunciations,
are the -measure of Indian right which
Congress lias assumed. These desig
nate certain limits, and these, together
with the laws, we are informed by Gen.
Eaton’s letter to the Governor, under
date of Ist June last, the President "will
consider it a duly faithfully to execute.”
The President, to be sure, made tins de
claration in view of intrusions nnd irre
gular settlements upon Indian lands; yet
he lias given us ft general rule applicable
to nil Ihe rights of (lie Indians under
treaty stipulations.
Adverting again to the concessions
which Georgia has made in favor ofth.
In bans, the General Assembly, in ratify
ingthe articles ol'h!’reel neat and cession,
entered into by those distinguished citi
zens. James Jackson, Abraham Ituldwin
nnd John Mdlledgo, engaged the United
Stall's to extinguish the Indian title to
land within our limits; lints recognizing
(lie right asserted. * This right is also
expressly admitted in Governor Gilmer's
message. Mr. T. said tiierewere other an-*
thorities before him: but it wns'unneces
sary to read them. Tints then it appear
e J that the right of occupancy was re
cognized by nil the departments of the
general government, and by every de
partment oftlie government of Georgia.
Eat not only had the; constituted au
thorities recognized the Indian right of
occupancy; but all our representatives,
and all our friends in Congress. bad dis
claimed the idea of force. Mr. Wilde
said, "the Jaws of Georgia neither con
template driving (he t lierokees from
their lands, nor any other act oi injustice
or oppression against them.’’ Col. Fos
ter. .Mr. Forsyth, and others, gave si
milar pledges, and without such pledg
es, the Indian bill could not have passed.
Kesides these pledges, it hits been re
cently ann.ameed from one of our high
est tribunals, in a charge w hich has met
the sanction oftlie juries and the citizens,
that the Indians "have nothing to dread
either from the character ofonr laws, or
the mode of their administration."
.Mr, T. said, the President had given
the most explicit and repeated guaran
tees. In a letter of October llih, 1821).
Gen. Eaton said to Gov. Forsyth, among
other things which would sustain Mr.
T's. views, the President "regards it ns
an obligation ofthe most sacred eharae
ter to maintain u faithful guardianship
towards the Indians, mid to preserve his
administration of their a flairs front the
slightest imputation of Injustice ” In u
letter under dale of Istb April. 182!), to
the Cherokee Delegation, the Secretary
of War says, "an interference, {mark, an
interference,) to theexlent rtf affording y oil
protection and The oeetqmhry of your
soil, is w hat is demanded ofthe justice of
tlds country, and will not be w ithheld."
It hits already been seen, from Gen. Ea
ton's letter of Ist June last,That the Pre
sident would “consider it his duty faith
fully to execute the treaties and laws.”
'l'lif. probability, then is, that the Presi
-1 dent would resist an attempt to dispose
„/'<-'(ierokee lands to which the Indian
eight has not been extinguished.
Mr. T. adverted to the late arrange
ment with the Choctaws, whose exam
ple would probably be followed by the
other .Southern Indians, as affording
ground to hope, that our rights might he
realized in due time hy treaty.
Mr. T. was “well assured'’ that the
President believed, from information col
lected in the course of the present year,
that he could, at an early period, induce
the Cherokees to remove; and that the
President greatly desired a little further
time to operate in his own way.
Besides, there was great reason to fenr,
if Georgia should take her remedy into
her own hands, the U. Stales may leel
absolved from their engagement under
the compact of 1*1)2, ami may resist the
measures of Georgia, or at least decline
" the expenditures necessary to remove
the Indians, and may thus leave them, as
“permanent inhabitants,” within our
limits ; and may also refuse to reimburse
the State forthe lands that maybe per
manently occupied hy the Indians who
may remain on our lands.
In regard to the Federal Court, too.
before which, Mr. 'l' did not wish Geor
gia to become a parly, it would he well
to remember, he said, that most, or all
of its decrees had hitherto been enforced,
and so might any decree it might pro
nounce, in reference to our Indian Allah's.
It would he better, therefore, to avoid
collision, it possible, with every depart
ment of the general government.
Mr. T. said, our policy appeared to
him clear. Get ns dispose of the situa
tions purchased from Ike Indians; re
mote intruders; occupy the mines, which
are recognized by the common iaw as u
; source of public revenue:—Give entire
cllleieney lo our laws in the Cherokee
country, by designating and organizing
proper districts; hut decline a disposition
of the territory, until the Indian claims
are extinguished, mid a survey into
small parcels, as useless and dangerous,
till we have u clear right to distribute.
The advantage of this course would be.
that it would meet no resistance from the
Executive Government of the I'. States.,
while there was a strong probability, if
we attempted to go further, that the Pre
sident might resist.
Air. Turner did not inhis remarks, dc
ny the right of soil and jurisdiction in
the State; he sustains these w ithout hefii i
t ation. lie only contends, that those
rights are encumbered; and that the en
cumhrnnee ought to he legitimately re
