r» crHERE.V Dr- Tomlinson F >rt, applies to me for
V t li tters "f \<1
rendered null and void by a subsequent treaty,
entered into in 1826, in lb:s Cdy. with the
same Nation. Under the authority of said
btate, a line has been run by commissioners,
comprehending more than a rndiion of acres of
I-.ri I. lying North ol tho established boundary
jet ween the Cherokee and Creek Naiiotis, and
ii; which the latter disavovvt d any pretension
ot right, claim, or interest The subject was
brought before the President of the U. Slates,
who has caused a third line to be established,’
never contended fur by any of the parties, and
unautnertsed by any existing treat v with either
Nation, though officially declared shall bs the
• me between the lands ceded by the Creeks in
I82G to the .United States and tin- Cheroke. s.
On the portion ol territory we have thus besn
<lci"iv.-il or, vvon, mo uuu>c3 anil homes ot
many Cberokees. who have tieen c.*mpellcd ti>
leave them, uith the farms that aff-.-rded their
iambics subsistence. ‘ The tract of land,”
says Governor Gilmer, in bis late message
“from which tin- Cherokee - have been removed
by order of the President, is supposed to cun
tam 46-1.G46 acres, arid now subject to be dis
posed ol,” 4*o. From lhe decision of the Pro
sident on tins subject of boundary, your me
mortalists, in behalt < f their N it ion. beg leave
to appeal, and to question Hie legni and con
Htituiiona! powers ol the Chief Magistrate to
change or alter, in any manner, ‘he established
line between the Cberokees and Creeks, with-
arisen in 1801. between the'same N oions, re
lative to a certain part of their boundary; and
"ben the subject was introduced at the War
Departmeut by a ileputation of Cherokee
Chiefs, and the interference of the Government
•>iiciled, the following reply was given by di
section ot President J IT rson:—“It will be ve
ry difficult for the President to ascertain the
.hies'between fhc several countries of the red
People. They must settle ail such controversies
tnong themselves. If you cannot agree, how
shall we be able to decide correctly.” [See
Minutes of Conti rences hoiden at the* War Of
lice, between the Secretary for the Department
of War, on behalf of t ite United Slates, and a
deputation from the Cherokee Nation oflndi
ans, on behalf of the said N it ton, .on the 30 ii
of June and 3d of July 1801] During the
administration of the same cmiueiit lawyer and
statesman, the treaty ol 1806, was made with
the Cberokees, by the third article of which,
: lie rigid ol Indian Nations is admitted, to ^et*
lie and determine questions of boundary a
mong themselves, v z: “It is also agreed on
.he part ofthe Ufiited Stales, tied the Govcrn-
nient thereof will use vs tufluence and best en
deavors lo prevail on tho Chickasaw Nation oi
Indians to agree to the following boundary be
tween that Nation and the Cherokee?,” &c.—
4 But it is understood by the contracting par-
iie*, that the United Sti les do not engage to
have the aforesaid boundary established, but
only to prevail on the Chickasaw Nation to
consent to such a boundary between the two
Nations.” By these references, we believe
ihc position of our Nation to be fully and clear
ly sustained; and that its agreement with the
Creek Nation in 1821, on this subject, is bind
ing to all intents and purposes; and that the
-auction oft ids Government was not essential
thereto, to make^t so; and that they alone by
miuistvatiou ou the estate of Newbal J voluntary surrender of their lands, have the
Moore,deceased: ^ rigid to alter that boundary.
Thesti are thenTire to cite and admonish all and singu

By the treaty mmic vvitb tbe Arkan c as Che-
rokees in 1828 inducements were held out lo
individuals of our Nation to remove West of
the Mississippi, and join their brethren, who
had withdrawn from their connexion with us
hi 1817 and 1819, and established for them
selves a separate and distinct Government,
(hereby absolving all the political relationship
which had previously existed as citizens ofthe
same community. That treaty was never pre
sented to the au*horily of our Nation for its
assent, nor the right of the Arkansas Chero
kees ever admitted to interfere with, or afLet
tn any manner, the rights and the interests ot
our People. Uuder its provisions, however,
individuals have been induced to emigrate;
and in pursuance ol the stipnlation contained
m one of the articles, that the Government
would make to every individual so emigrating
“ajust compensation for the property he may
abandon,” appraisers were appointed by the
President; who has extended the term "prop
erty abandoned” to embrace the houses, tarms.
and lands upon which situated, claimed by
emigrants, and who have valued, agreeably to
instructions, tire improvements so claimed or
occupied by them; and it is now contended
that the United States have acquired a title to
the lands as well as to the improvements Valu
jed, and permission given by the Executive to

citizens ofthe United States to entertTitTNa-
iiuii, and occupy t Ik in to the exclusion ot the
ia|ives. The lands arc, it is well known, not
.'eld in severalty by tho Cherokee*, buf as a
Motion; and this right has been solemnly guar
anteed to them by treaty with the U. States.—•
The right of individuals to cede or transfer a-
ny portion of their territory, has never heeu
admitted, cither by themselves i r the Guv- ru-
use*nt; and in point of justice and law, all such
citizens of the United States who have thus
be< n permitted to enter and settle upon our
territory, are intruders, and the faith of this
Government is pledged for their removal —-
We protest against the right of the Arkansas
Cberokees, or the Government, to enter into
any arrangement to affect our rights contrary*
to the will ol the Nation, and also against ’ho
introduction and continuance of a popola'*'on
m our country so detrimental to the interests
and peace of our citizens, the security oftheir
persons and property from if:sti , !s arid outrage,
and so utterly at variance With the plighted
faith ot this Government, for our territorial
protection and promise of good neighborhood.
It is further contended by tbe Executive,
that the United States have acquired.a title to
lands within the present acknowledged b .nods
ot the nation under the 7th article of the.trea*
ty oi 1817 with the Cberokees, which stipula
ted that tiie United States should lease to the
Indians improvements that had been abandon
ed by em grants, and woo had received com
pensation tor the hem tit of 4 the poor and de»
crepid warriors” of the nation, and which was
to be continued until such improvements were
“surrendered by the nation or to the nation ”
By the treaty of 1819, the leases under that cf
181i were declared vmd, which is of itself -nf-
ticient evide nce of a surrender to the nation of
aii such improvements as fr I ivithm its limits
agreeably (o the boundary then established;
and i; is moreover declared, that the treaty <-f
1819 is a final adjustment <f ih<. tre tty of 1817,
and the lands im.-n reded to to United S.a* s
are in full satisfaction oj all clata.a which j,no
oi°a lt c Ml &n dt'lanfs on the Arkansas, h r ti e
benefit of tho enrygra’ing Cberokees; yet a
c aim has been asserted by the ExccU'iVe, on
tire part of the United Siates, to a title to lends
within our present bounds, acquired under an
article in the treaty of 1817, which, by tbe
treaty cf 1819, was rendered void, uni fully
satisfied, which, it is said, enures to the benefit
of Georgia, and is made another plea to'ailow
intrusions. Added to all these aro many of tier
intruders, who, without any other pretext than
to trespass upon our possessions and rights,
contrary tc existing laws, are allowed to annoy
ar.d harass our peaceable citizens to an almost
insufferable deecee^.^Lo. nv/e

ers. less daring, have erected huibkngs tor
thesrown use upon the premises of the objects

m;ulo through the agent, and otherwise, to
the Government, faijed to ploduce the desir
ed relief from circumstances so wei! calculated
to produce excitement and disturbance be
tween the whites and tbe rbd people. To such
an alarming extent had intrusion been indulg*
od, that the authority of the nation, reiving on
an article of treaty, and the former a Iv-'re of
the present Chief Magi-trule of tne Unit d
Slates when a General of the southern divis
ion ot tbe United States’ Army, rt moved a
few families who had pi n-{rated f«r info the
country, and ofthe n*os; exceptionable chsilrae*
ter—a measure demanded by the s;*c i sty «*f .
the p-rs ns and property ofthe CVerokea*-.—
It was ‘•e zrd upon and durlared a hostile
movement, and an armed band of intruders, in
retaliation, wreaked their vengeai.ee upon a
few peaceabie individuals. One was cruelly
murder.-d, anoth- r wounded, <r.d a third led a
piis-oner into Georgia, and thrown info jad,
whence he was subsequently released, a it el''
much trouble, by a writ of habeas corpus A
report of these transactions «hs made to tho
Government by the United States' Agent,
which, however, resulted only m call r-g forth

the perpetrator® of the murder are still tres-
past in open dty, upon ou r ghts and our
territory, which lias drank the biood ot an in
nocent victim to their outrages. During tbe
past Summer, the United States’ troop*
were ordered into the nation, a.4 we believe,
for tbe purpose of redeem-ng the pledges of
the Government, for our protection, tucy re
moved the intruders, who had flocked in thou
sands to our gold mines, and a fun also along
the frontier settlements; m*ny, however, were
not molested, and others returned in a shorl
time after, placing at utter d- fhneethe autho
rity vested in the United States’ Agent, and
heretofore exercised by his predecessors. All
the Cberokees who had been engaged m’beir
gold mines were removed with tbe intruder*,
and experienced much inj :ry and inconveni
ence under an order irotn it>e Department of
War, and, during the stay of the froop« in the
nation, were not permitted to re engage at
their mining operation*- Tbe troops have
been suddenly withdrawn, <ti our country aga ft
left exposed to the ravag s of intruder? Anatt
has recently been passed by the Legislature of
the State cf Georgia, authorising the Gover
nor thereof to take possession of our gold
mines and appropriating twenty thousand dol
lars for that purpose; and another providing
tor the survey of our country into sections, and
for the appointment of magistrates therein; a-
gainst which we most solemnly protest, as a
departure from the obligations of good 'aitb,
and the desire to secure and promote the peace
and friendship so often re pealed in our treaties.
The language of the great and illestious Jeffer
son through the Secretary of War, to our
chiefs, recurs io our memory with peculiar
force: “The President listens willingly to your
• opresentalions, and
