To the House of Representatives : Gentlemen,—Having been called on by your resolution ol this date, requesting me to lay before your branch of the General Assembly, any infoimaiion in my possession, “in relation to the Cherokee nation, and which might have an influence on the poli cy of the measure of the immediate survey and occupancy of the Cherokee lands, which has not heretofore been communicated, together with any views of the Executive, upon the subject, which that Department may think proper to make known;”—In answer thereto, I submit the following, as the result of long re flection, on the important subject referred to. It is believed that a crisis has arrived, in-which we cannot per mit the course of our policy, in relation to the Cherokee part of Georgia, to remain in its present perplexed and extraordinary con dition, without jeopardizing the interest and prosperity, if not the peace and safety of the State. Circumstances within the recollection of our whole people, im periously demanded the extension of the laws and jurisdiction of our State, over our entire population and territory. This step has been taken, and cannot be retraced. The State cannot con sent to be restricted in the exercise of her constitutional rights. It is now too late for 11s to theorize on this subject; we are called upon to act; the public functionaries of the State stand pledged to their constituents, and the world, to sustain the ground which they have taken. It is our constitutional right, and moral duty, forthwith to interpose, and save that parto'f our State from confu sion, anarchy, and perhaps from bloodshed. The question of the right of the State to jurisdiction seemed for a time to have been settled. Our laws were in regular, unmolest ed operation over our entire territory: our rights appeared to be no longer controverted; and the responsibility for the existing evils was devolving on ourselves. But new and unexpected difficulties are arising out of the imbe cility of our own measures, & the selfishness of some of our citizens. It has been thought that some of our most distinguished citizens have thrown almost insuperable obstacles in the way of a speedy termina tion of our Indian difficulties. The laws heretofore enacted, for the maintenance* of the jurisdiction of the State over that portion of our territory, and for the government of all persons residing there in, it must now be admitted, have failed to accomplish all ihat was desired and expected, by the friends of these measure s. The de fects of our laws have been evinced by their practical operation. It is believed, that any attempt to establish a salutary, civil gov ernment, over a country containing nearly five millions of ac res of land, while destitute of the materials to administer the law, must, from the nature of things, prove in a great measure abor tive. A few thousand half civilized men, both indisposed, and in competent to. the faithful discharge of the duties of citizenship, and scattered over a territory so extensive, can never enjoy the ines timable blessings of civil government. Whatever may be the nominal character of our legislation, we cannot govern the country under consideration, with honor to out character, and benefit and humanity to the Indians, until wc have a settled, freehold, white population, planted on the unoccupied portion of that territory, under the influence of all the ordinary inducements of society, to maintain a srood. system of civil Our government over that territory, m its present condition, in order to be efficient, must partake largely of a military character, and conseouently must be more or less arbitrary andoppressnem its operations. If the present system be continued, it is important, that ample , owers should be afforded to the Executive, to reflate the conduct, and centred the operations, of the agents employed to administer the government, m that part of the Siate but it is doubtful, even with this power, whether any vigilance and energy on the part of the Executive, can wholly prevent injustice and op. presshm being committed on the Indians, and at the same time maintain the laws inviolate. , • If Georgia were at this day to relinquish all light, title, . claim to the Cherokee country, what would be its situation. I he impotencyand incompetency of the Cherokees to maintain a r. g- ular government, even for a few months, perhaps lor a few weeks, would at once be demonstrated. The country would 8 P?e* 1 jf over-nip, chiefly by the most abandoned portions of society lrom all Quarters. The gold mines would hold out an irresistible temp- totiohtoaii such characters. The existence alone oftlienchgokl mines, utterly forbids the idea of a state of quiescence on this all- en 'Ourtue S s&i and motives on this question are stifl — derstood, and often misrepresented, by ?hose a Astance In order to appreciate our policy, onr true situation must be under stood I will not attempt to enumerate the wrongs, embarrass- ments, wrong, in their construction of the sacred text; whether or not, their conduct can be reconciled with their professed objects, it cannot be denied, that possession, actual or constructive, of the entire habitable part of this continent, was taken by the natives of Europe: and that it was divided out, and held by them, originally, by the right of discover} 7 , as between themselves, and by the rights of discover} 7 and conquest, as against the aboriginal inhabitants. The English colonies and plantations were settled and governed, under various charters, commissions, and instructions, issued by the crown to individuals or companies; aud notwithstanding that the paramount sovereignty was reserved in all the charters, to the mother-country: yet in the grant of the absolute property in the soil, there was no reservation of any part of it to the natives; who were left to be disposed of, as the proprietors might think fit and proper. - - . - Humanity, and the religious feeling of the early adventurers in America, connected with the consideration of the power and im mense numbers of the native races, and their savage mode of warfare, laid the foundation of the policy adopted in this country, towards the Indians. The practical ^comment, to be found in the acts of all the governments of North America, evinces very little regard for the elementary doctrines of theoretical writers on this subject. One of the expedients resorted to, by the early settlers in this country as a fundamental prin ciple o£ policy towards the-Indians was, to appear to do noth ing which concerned them, either in appropriating their lands, or in controuling their conduct, without their consent. But instan ces have occurred, and will again occur, in which the interests of civilized communities have demanded, and will agaid demand a departure from this seeming-liberal policy. It is believed that many of the acts of the colonial, as well as of the state govern ments, will maintain the great fundamental principle, that within the territorial limits of the Colonies or States, the ancient posses sion of the Indians conferred on them no rights, either of soil cr sovereignty. The rigour of the rule for their exclusion from these rights has been mitigated in practise, in conformity with the doctrines of those writers on natural law, who, while they admit the superior right of the agriculturist over the claims of savage tribes in the appropriation of wild lands, yet, upon the principle that the earth was intended to be a provision for all mankind, assigned to those tribes such portions as, when subdued by the arts of the husband man, may be sufficient for their comfortable subsistence. The General Court of Massachusetts, in 1633, declared, “ That the Indians had the best right to such lands as they had actually sub dued and improved.” The government of that Colony at the same time asserted its right to all the residue of the lands whhin its chartered limits, and actually parcelled them out by grant, a~ mong the white inhabitants ; leaving to these the discretional-} 7 duty of conciliating the Indians, by purchasing their title. The General Assembly of Virginia asserted the unrestricted right ot' a conquefor; and at the same time conceded, what the principles of natural law were supposed to require, when, in 1G58, il en acted, “ That for the future no land should be patented, until fifty acres had first been set apart to each warrior, or head of a family belonging to any tribe of Indians in the neighbourhood.” No respectable jurist has ever gravely contended, that the right gf fte sovirev r h!y,~or V*Tate m which such lands are situate. It is believed, that no title to 'lands, that has ever been investigated, in anv of the courts of the States, or of the United States, has been admitted to depend on any Indian deed or relinquishment, except in those cases, where grants had been previously made to individu al Indians, to hold in fee simple, either by the state, or colonial governments. . With all of these facts and examples before us, taken in con nection with the extraordinary state of our Indian affairs, will any citizen of Georgia hesitate, upon the question of advancing receding l To stand still, will in effect be, to recede—to recede, is to abandon our rights, and tacitly admit our incompctenc} to non upon the estate of Rebecca Daniel, deceased Tiisc a-c therefore to cite and admonish all and sin gular, the kindred and creditors of said deceased to ap- ; t iuv office, within the time prescribed hy lav., to Sic v cause, if any they have, why said letters should s.ic.v cause, 11 y j hand, tlus 17tli day of md others a nwncer 01 ) not be granted.

These various mtermcdlmgs hastened the cri sis which compelled the State to the course, which she has taken: and the day must speedily arrive, when all the heart-burnings on this subject must be put to final rest. The combined, and com bining influences now in operation, against the character, interest peace, and prosperity of the State, cannot be much longer deplor ed in silent inaction: nor ought we to place any reliance on inef ficient measures. Unfounded calumny and prejudice, kept at a distance, may be endured: but domestic and housenoid enemies produce unceasing disquietude and danger. ... The unfortunate remnant of Cherokee Indians remaining m Georgia, ought now to consider themselves the admitted charge of our peculiar care: and if possible, *ve ought, as their friends and benefactors to preserve and cherish them. 1 hey ought not forci- bWtobedrsimsSissed of their homes, or driven from, the land of Sr father they ought to be guarded and ^edmfte peace- able enioyment of a sufficient portion of land, to sustain them witn jWfSfe, in their present abodes, so long as they may choose tn remain- and their rights and property should be as well secured from all lawless depredation, as those of the white man-—It wou e as cruel as uniust, to compel the Aborigines to abandon the graves of their fathers: but in the present extraordinary state of things, ft would be visionary to suppose, that the Indian claim can be al- lowed to this extensive tralct of country,-to lands on which they have neither dwelt, nor made improvements. Principles of natural law, and abstract justice hare often been, Principles lhe j n(j;an Tribes within the territorial rSof the states, eight to be regarded as the absolute owners ciules appealed to; with such modifications, and mteipretationsof these Dnnciples, as the truth of history has vermeil, especially in he seuSnt of this country.

Until we have a population planted upon the unoccupied por tion of this Territory, possessed of all the ordinary inducements of other communities, to sustain our laws and government; our present laws providing for the government of this part of the state, should not only be continued ; but ample power should be afforded, to enforce obedience to their requirements. To eftert this object, the Executive should be vested with full power, prompt ly to control the agents who have been, or may be selected, to maintain the authority of the laws, in that portion of the state. I never can consent to be considered amongst the number of those, who disregard the interests, rights, or claims, of the Chero kee Indians. Georgia would still forbear, if any hope remained, that her embarrassments could be terminated by negotiation, oi investigation of any kind ; but the present posture of affaire lur- nishes no satisfactory assurance of a successfu. jssue to these m- . . i .Um/'iiltip'c nnH the state would be the just claims of the Cherokee Indians, to full indemnity and remuneration from the government of the United States, for all guarantees made by that government to the Indians, to lands with in the limits of Georgia. ., t , 4s a member of the Federal Unions we should duly consider the obligations of the United States to the Cherokee Indians.^ Whether a treaty or compact be made with one of the states c\ the Union, or with a dependent and subject community; the faith of the Nation should not be disregarded. While the antecedeid engagements of the U. States to Georgia, are entitled to precedency in their observance ; yet, as far as possible, tbe Cherokees should be compensated for any failure on the part of the United Stale?., literally to comply with their stipulations to that people. Ihc bein^ done, there remains no just cause of complaint. The firs'. duTy'of every government is, to protect the rights, and promote the prosperity of its own members. Vet, the rights and interest? of others, of whatever character or condition, are not to be wan- tonlv restricted, nor in any case wholly disregarded. But the its relations or compacts with Georgia, Union, or the rights of this state as a third party, for the mere Con sideration of performing an after obligation, or secondary duty t*> the Indians. _ > .. , Rra 7 ardless of the pretensions of others, I yield to none, m ir/ respect, friendship, 'and veneration, for our present, patriol '*
