A provision which does not secure to the

I was induced to suggest tor your considera

added strength to the belief that the best in-
tcrests ot our couatry require the speedy adop

A centingeucy winch sometimes places it in
tti power ot a single member of the" House
ot Representatives to decide an election of so
lugh and solemn a character, is Unjust to the
people, and becomes, when it occurs, a source
of embarrassment io the individuals thus
brought imo power, and a cou.-e oi distrust of
the representative butty. Liable as the con
federacy is, from its great extent, lo parties
founded upon sectional interests, and to a cor
responding multiplication of candidates lor the
presidency, the tendency of (be constitutional:
'passed by the Sfate9 within the scope of their
reserved powers, they are not responsible to
this Government. As individuals, we may er„
tertain and express our opinions of their acts-
hut, as a Government we have as httle right
to control them as we have to prescribe laws
to foreign nations.
With a lull understanding of the subject,
the Chacktaw and Chickasaw tribes have,
with great unanimity, determined to avail
themselves ot the liberal offers, presented by
the act of Congress, and have agreed to re-
move beyond the Mississippi river Treaties
have been made with them, which, in due
season, will be .submitted for consideration
111 negotiating these treaties, they were made
to understand their true condition; and they
have preferred maintaining their independ

the laws oftho states in which tliey now re-

which nril ever be made with them, arc char
act prized by great liberality on the part of the
Government. They give the Indians a libe
ral sum in consideration of their removal, and
comfortable subsistence on their arrival at
their new homes. If it be their real interest
to maintain a separate existence, they will
there be at liberty t^do so without the incon
veniences and vexations to which they would
unavoidably have been subj.ct in Alabama
and Mississippi.

May we noi hope, therefore* that all go,od citizens, and
none more zealously than those who think the Indians op

in attempting to open the eyes of those children dr the

in relatij-n to (lie removal of the Xiniiau*-

a happy consummation Two important
es have accepted the provision made fur

it is heistrViid that their example will in-
e tire remaining trrhos, also, to seek the
e obvious advantages.
Hie consequences of a speedy removal will

It will separate the Indians from iimiiedi*

■em to pursue happiness in their own way;

their numbers; and perhaps cause them gradu
ally, tinder the protection of the Government,
and through tbe influence of good counsels, lo
oast off their savage -habit*, and become an in
teresting, civilized, ;lnd Christian community.
These consequences, some of them so certain,
nod the rest so probable, make the. complete
execution of the plan sanctioned by Congress
at their last session an object of much solici
tude.
Toward the aborigines of the country bo one
can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself,
or would go further in attempting to reclaim
them from their wandering habits; and make
them a happy and prosperous people. I have
endeavored to impress upon them mv own so
lemn convictions of the duties and powers ot
the General Government in relation to the
£Uaic authorities. For tbe justice ofthe laws

art can devise, or industry execute; occupied
by more than twelve millions of happy people,
and filled with all th blesi-Higs of liberty civ-
li/z dion, and religion !
'I’be present policy of the Government is
but a continuation of the same progressive
change, by a milder process. The tribes
which occupied tbe countries now constituting
i he Eastern Stales were annihilated, or have
melted away,to make room tor the whites
The waves of population and civil.zation are
rolling to the Westward; and we now pro
pose to acquir t he countm s occupied by the
red men of the South and We-t, by a fair ex
change, and at the expense of the U. States
to send them to a land where their existeuc
may be prolonged, and perhaps made p- rpei
n.iI. Doubtless it will b painful to leave th»
graves of their fathers; but what do they
more than our ancestors did,-of than our chi.
-Iron are new doing. To better their cond
tiou in an unknown land, our fore fathers le ; :
all that was dear in earthly objects Our chi)
ilren by thousands, yearly leave the land o'
their birth-lo seek n«;»v homes in distant rr
gions. 1) -es: humanity weep at these painfn
separations from every thing, animate and hi

-> nice ot joy that our country fiords scop*
where our yyung population .may range uti
constrained in body or in mind, developing
the power rind facilities of m m in their high
est perfection. These remove hundreds, and
almost thousands of miles, at their own ex
pense, purchase the lands they occupy, and
support thwin-elves at their new home from
tire moment of tfieir arrival Can it be cruel
m tfris Government when, by events which it
cannot.control, the Indian is made • disconten
ted in his ancient home, to purchase bis lands,
to give him a new and extensive teiritory, to
pay the expense of his removal, and support
him a year in his new abode \ How many
thousands of our own people would gladly em
brace the opportunity of removing lo the
j west on such conditions ! If the offers made
to tbe Lull ms were extended to them, they
would be hailed with gratitude and joy.
And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a
stranger attachment to his lion»e, than tile settled, civil
izftl Ctnisiian 1 Is it more afflicting to him to leavr- the
•jr.i vi t <( his fathers, than it is to our brothers and chil-
<lren ? (tightly considered, tb* policy of the General
(iovenuneot towards the red man, is not only liberal but
generous. He is unwilling to submit lo tbe laws of tbe
Slates, and mingle with their population. To save him
finm this attern .live, -or perhaps utler annihilation, the
General Government kindly off-rs him a new home, and
proposes lo pay the whole expense of his removal and
stti lem. nt.
In the consummation of a policy originating at an ear
ly period, un<l steadily pursued by every administration
within the present century—so just lo Ibe States, and so
generous to the Indians, Ihe Executive feels it lias a right
to expect the co-operation of Congress, and of ell good
and disinterested men. The States,, moreover, base a
right to dcinan i it. Il was substantially a part of the
compact which made them members of our confederacy.
With Georgia, 'here is an express contract; with tbe
new Mutes, an implied one, of equal obligation. Why,
in aulboiising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Missis
sippi, and Alabama, to form constitutions, and .become
separate States, did Congress ioclude within their limits
extens ve tracts of Indian lauds, and, in some instances,
powerful Indian tribes ? Was it not understood by both
parties that the power of the States was to be co-ex ten
sive with their limits, and that, with all convenient des
patch, the General Government should extinguish the In
dian title, and remove every obstruction to the comply
jurisdiction of tiie State Governments over the soil ?
Probably not one of those States would have accepted a
separate existence, certainly it would never have been
granted by Congress—had it been understood that they
were to be confined forever to those sn^tl portions of
their nominal territory, the Indian title to which had at
tbe time been extinguished.
It is, therefore, a duly which this Government owes
to the new State*, to exlingoisb, as soon a* possible, the
Indian title to all lands which Congress themselves have
included Ivithin their limits. When this is done, the du
nes ofthe Genera! Government in relation to the States
and Indians within their limits are at an end. Tbe In
dians may leave the State or not as they choose. The
purchase-of their lands does not atter^ in thelsas^ their
The President’s Viosage reached Milkdgevitte by
VVeduefcday morning’s mail. It is a luminous, able, and
highly practical document—doing equal credit to the head
nnd the heart of Andrew Jackson. We do not expect
that it will entirely meet Ibe views of any <>f the eontend-
nig sections of our happy country. Yet this is Ihe very
feature in it which we most admire. The Tunflhes will
b* disappointed—the nuHificrs wilt be most sorely disap
pointed. Had the President, by his communication at
thi* momentous period, pampered ihe appe ites of m inu*
fueluiing cupidity, or ad led lo the discontent and excite
ment which prevail in oilier sections, lie would have for
feited that high character for a sincere attachment to eve
ry pari of Die Union aiiich has ever distinguished him,
and ever should distinguish tbe chi«;f magistrate of.-great
nation, (n Ibis. Jackson has again evinced that moral
courage, for which he is so remarkable—» murage, much
i<j acquiring for liiut n much glory in the Cabinet a-> !>e
gained in the field. On all the points of discontent, the
President has < xpre*scd himself in a manner calculated
to allay (he feelings—to promote reflect ion & dispassion-
ite inquity—ev jiic at ihe same nine, ho hae given munv
strong, practical arguments m favor of his positions. \
few years ago, this message would have been received with
acclamations North of the Potomac and west of the Alle
ghany—a few years ago, it would have cheered the hearts
of all South of the Potomac. Now, we should net be
surprised to hear m irnrurings from all these -j ia*tcrs.
Hut -ve have a President who dares to throw himself in
the midst of the breach and recommend tiros* mutual ami
fraternal concessions ivlach formed the.first ceimnt of
our government, and by which alone, it can be perpetua

irrefutable evidence of a blessed and saving hope It is
