To the. Houso of Representatives :
Grnti.rmrn,—I laving been called oil hy
your resolution of this date, requesting mo to

relation to the Cherokee nation, nml which

the following, ns the result of long reflection,
on the important suoject referred to.
It is believed that a crisis has arrived, in
which wo cannot permit tlio course of our
policy, ui relutiou to tho Cherokee part of
Georgia, to remain in its present perplexed &
extraordinary condition, without jeopardising
the interest and pro-pori'y, if not tho peace
and safety oftlio Stale.
Circumstances within the recollection of
our whole people, imperiously demanded tho
extension of tho laws and jurisdiction of our
Stale, over our entire population and territo
ry. This step 1ms been taken, and cannot
bo retraced. The Sintc cannotodpsent to be

to abandon the graves of their (atticrs • but
in the present extraordinary state of things,
it would bo visionary to suppose, that tlio
Indian claim can he allowed, to this extensive
tract of country,—to lands on which they
havo neither dwelt, nor, made improvements.
Principles of natural law, nml abstract jus-
tiec have often bomi appealed to,* to show,
tluitthfl inilinnTnbes within the territorial
limits of the stuten;oiight to be regarded as the
absolute owners and proprietors of the soil they
occtfpy.
All civilized nalitftiH havo acknowledged
the validity oftlio principles appealed to, with
such modifications, and interpretytioiiR of
these principles, as too troth of history has
verified, especially in tho settlement of this
country. Tho foundations of the states which
form this Confederacy, were laid by civilized,
and Christian nations; who considered tliem-
svlvcs instructed in tha nature of their duties,
hy tho precepts and examplos contained in
tho sacred Volume, which they uc'uiovlodg-
ed as the basis of their religions creed, nnd
obligations. To go forth, subdue, and re
plenish the on rib, wore considered, divine
commands. Whether they wero right or
wrong, itt their construction of the sacred
text; whether or not, th ir conduct can lie
reconciled wjtli their professed objects it can
not be denied, that possession, actual or
constructive, of the entire habitual part
this continent, was taken by the natives of
Europe ; and that it wns divided out, and
held by the ml originally, by tho right afdis-
covrry, as between themselves, and bv the
rights of discovery and conquest, au against
tlio aboriginal frihnhiUr.ts.
Tho English colonies.and plantations '.veto

object, tho Executive should be vested with
full power, promptly to control the ngnnts
who havo been, or may bn s 'looted, t.o main
tain tho authority of the laws, in that portion
of the state.
I never can consent to Lo considered
among the number of iltoso, who disregard
tho intotoslH, rights, or claims, of tho Chero
kee Indians. Georgia would stiil forbear, if
any hope remained, that her embarrassments
could bo terminated by nogotiaiion, or inves
tigation of any kind ; but the pre: • t posture
of affairs furnishes no satisfactory assurance
of a successful issue to these injurious embar
rassments and difficulties, andUhe state would
bo responsible for the evils that m'ght ensue.
I would recommend .no course, which niighl
fond, in the slightest degree, lo weaken the
just claims of the Cherokee Indians, to full
indemnity nnd remuneration from the govern
ment ofthu United Siatos, for all guarantees
undo bv the government to tbo Indians, to
lands within the limits of Georgia.
As a member of the Federal Union wo
should duly consider the obligations of the
United Slates to the Cherokee Indians.—
Whether a treaty or compact be mado with
one of the states of the Union, or with a de
pendent nnd subject community ; the faith of
,°.e Nation should not ho disregarded.—
While the antecedent eng>igemeuls of the U.
Stu’o:* lo G'uir riu, are entitled to precedence
in their observance ; vet, as far as passible,
tho Cheroknes should he conntensated for
imy fail uro on tho part oftlio United States,
literally to comply with their stipulation to
that people. That being done, there remains
no just cause of] complaint. The first d*|ty
of every government is, lo protect the rights,
atid promote the prosperity of its own mem
bers. Vet, the rights and interests of others,
of whatever character or condition, nro not
to be wantonly restricted, nor in any case
wholly disregarded. But the principle can
not be sustained hy any fair course of reason
or authority, Hint, the United States can in
justice, bo hound to violate its relations or
compacts with Georgia, ns one oftlio states
of the Union, or the rights of this state as a
third party, for tlio more consideration of
performing an after obligation, orosocondary
duty to the Indians.
Regardless of tho pretensions of others, T
yield to none, in my respect, friendship, nnd
veneration, for our present, patriotic *Chiof
Magistrate of the Union.. He lin-s upon eve
ry lit occasion, manifested an unceasing dis
position to hotter the condition of the Indi
ans; and at the same time to relievo tho
slates from tilts embarrassing portion of their
population. In an especial manner, he has
manifested, his deep sense of tho wrongs
brought upon Georgia, by tho want of good
faith, on the part of tlio Federal Government;
and has fearlessly advocated tho rights uf
Georgia, to the full extent of her claims.—
Therefore, every consideration of duly and
most distingnised cilizons havo thrown almost j tors on this stibjoct. One of the expedients justice, requires our cordial support of tho
insuperable obstacles in tho way of a speedy ! resorted to, hy the early settlers in this conn-; President, in all measures emanating from

the ground which they have taken. It is our
cotiotitu'.tonal right, and moral duty, forth
with to interpose, and savo that part of our
State from confusion, anarchy, and perhaps

Tho question of tho right of tho Slate to
jurisdiction seemed for a time to have boon
settled. Otu* laws’ wero in regular, unmoles

and tho responsibility for tho existing evils
