INI when Mr. Turner obtained the floor. • end went atlength into the ai-gument on Ihe main question. Mr. TUitiSBU remarked in substance, -that it was tapteekssary, to lose further lime, by «nd, as other gen tiernen would not take hold of the gener g| subject, he would -endeavor to do so. 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 moved, before the territory is distributed \V acquired the Indian hinds from Great Britain, under encumbrance, in a innnner something like u man acquirer an estate sold under a mortgage. In the latter case, the rights of the person hol ding iinist bo law fully ex tinguished before the purchaser can havp an unencumbered estate. The question was then taken on Mr. Li dill /‘a substitute and lost. The question wus then taken on Mr. Haynes substitute and carried. The committee then proceeded to rend the hill and till the blanks, and adjilst its details, hut before they had gone through they rose reported progress and asked leave lo sit again. Thursday, JVov.

In adjusting the details of the hill a great deal of debate occurred on several ' points hut principally on the point wheth er persons should he excluded from draws who ha-d trespassed on the Indian Lands, in digging gold since the date of the Governor’s proclamation—another ■ proposition being before the committee to make the exclusion ojierate prospec • lively, from and alter the passage of the 1 net.
