I Now, Air. Chairman, I have shown by tins preni' b P
to the treaty ofl817, which lies just been n ad, ihat,
deputations from the upper and lower Cherokt e loti ns
duly authorized by their notion, went on to tl'.e city of
Washington, the first named to declare to ihe Presi
dent of the United States their desire to engage jn the
pursuits of agriculture and civilized life, in the coun
try they then occupied, and lo make known to the
1'reS dent the impracticability of inducing the nation
at large to do this, aud to request ihe establishment of
a division line between the upper nnd lower towns, so
as to include the waters of the Hivvussee river i •» tho
upper town; that by thus contracting their society witii-
iu narrow limits, they proposed to begin the establish
ing ot fixed laws, and a regulargoverntugnt: the depu
ties from the lower towns to make known their.dnsiro
to continue the hunting life, and also the scarcity of
game where they then lived, and, under thes-e circum
stances, to remove beyond the Mississippi riv*-r oh
some vacant lands of tile United States. *
Mr. Chairman. I ask your particular attention and
that of the committee, to the fact, that the Cherokeus of'
the upper towns, who desire J te become agricu'turists,,
were almost exclusively in Tennessee, North Caroli
na, nnd Alabama; that those of the lower towns, who.
wished tocotitinue the hunter’s life, and to emigrate,
were in Georgia. The treaty of 1817 goes on to state
that the Cherokees wishing to emigrate, did explore^
the country on the Arkansas nnd While river.-, u iiit !i
they were pleased with, and had notified the £ , re.-klent
of their “ Anxious desire forthe full and complete rati
fication of his promise” to give them lands there ,in
exchange for those they held in Georgia , and, foplhat
purpose, the treaty of 1817 was made. Fortunate'
would it have been, sir, for Georgia, and for the Unit-,
ed States, if that treaty had not been set aside by the
subsequent oue of 1819. If the first contract had been
adhered to, Georgia would not now be unjustly charg
ed, as she lias been, v/ilh bad lititli and inhumanity ;
nor would any complaint have been made by her
against the General Government for the uon-perforiu-
anceofthe compact of 1802.
The preamble to; tho treaty of 1819 states the great
er part of the Cherokee nation had expressed an ear
nest desire to remain ou this side of the .Mississippi.
The United States, notwithstanding her engagements
to Georgia, and without consulting her, chose to gra

Now, sir, I say boldly, and without fear of contra
diction. that bad faith is not iu this case imputable to
Georgia, but to the United States, for. failing to carry
into effect the compact of 1802.

SPEECH '
OF
Mr, SEATON GRANTI.AND. of Georgia,
While iu Committee of the Whole, on Mr. 'Adams's mo
tion to strike out the appropriation for carrying into
effect the Cktrokee Treaty. Delivered in the House of
Representatives, June 29, 1836.
Mr. GfcANTLAKDsaid: I do not rise. Mr- Chairman,
to discuss the merits of this Cherukeo treaty, nor the
manner in which it was was made. I shall not, sir,
inquire, whether the whole Chrerokee tribe, (for na
tion l vii\\ uot cu\\ them.) or whether a majority, or
less tliau a majority, of that tribe, gave their assent to
it: nor shall 1, consider it necessary to show that this
treaty has been made with more than usual fairness,
or that the agents of the Government, to effect an ob
ject not less beneficial to the Indians themselves than
it is to several of the States, may not have used some
of that address aud management which is commonly
practised by diplomatists, and especially in the making
of Indian treaties. But, sir, I caunot forbear to re
mark that, of the almost numberless conpacts made
by this Government with Indians for the cession of the
lands, all negociated by commissioners appointed by
the President, it very rarely happens that objection to
uny of them is made, either in the confirmation by the
Senate, or in the appropriation of money to carry
them into effect by this House,unless it be with a tribe
within the limits of Georgia, and then, sir, there is al
ways doubt and difficulty and vexatious delay if not
a charge of fraud. How, sir, does this happen? Can
it be that gentlemen are willing to shut their eyes and
close their ears, and almost connive at frauds upon
Indians, when the land is acquired for the benefit of
all the states, and the especial convenience of their
own constituents, but ure ever wide awake, industri
ous, and vigilant io hunt out and detect frauds, though
noue exist, when Indian lands are contracted for,
which, under the compact of 1802, are for the benefit
of Georgia alone? It might be considered indecorous.
Mr. Chairman, were I to assert that this is the case;
but ever} candid mind must admit the thing has a
suspicious appearance. Yes. sir, its aspect is more
than suspicious—it has au awful squinting! and need I
say at what ?
My purpose, Mr. Chairman, in addressing the
Committee, is, as I before Btated, not to discuss this
treaty; that, sir. has been done by one of my colleagues,
and more ably by far than 1 could do it, and with a
clearness aud soundness of reasoning that will con
vince every member of this body, whose mind is open
,to conviction; and I hope there are but few, though
' some there may be, who will not do us and themselves
the justice of giving to this question a fair and dispas
sionate consideration.
It is sufficient, sir, for me, that this contract with the
Cherokees was made by that department of tho Gov
ernment to which alone has been confided by the con
stitution the treaty-making power ; it was concluded
by commissioners of the Untied States, duly authoriz
ed to treat with ti)e Indians, and has been approved
by the Executive, and confirmed by the Senate.—
This, sir, is enough to satisfy me; jet those who doubt
seek fer new lights; but I admonish them not to be
led astray by some ignisfatuus : bv plausible sophis
try, or misplaced philanthropy. The treaty, sir, will
speak for itself. It gives the Cherokees (besides an
equal quantity of better land west of the Mississippi)
| about six millions of dollars for a country containing
' eight or ten millions of acres, nine-tenths of which are
mountains. But I again say, sir, that I did not rise
to take part in the discussion of this treaty, but to re
pel the aspeisions cast by the' gentleman from Virgi-
nia(Mr. \Vise)onthe “faith and humanity of Georgia.”
That honorable gentleman has thought proper, sir, to
charge the state which has sent me here, with bad faith
in the observance of treaties, and with iuhumanity to
the Indians. These are grave charges ; bul I deny,
sir, in the most emphatic manner, that the hoporahle
gentleman can sustain his assertions, and I defy him
to prove that which he has so rashly and unwarrantably
said before this committee.
Now, sir, I shall proceed to show that it is not Geor
gia. but the General Government that has acted with
bad faith in the observance of compacts. It is known
to you, Mr. Chairman, and to every member of this
committee, that in 1802, Georgia made a compact with
the United States, by which the former ceded to the
latter, all her lands extending from the Chattahoochee
to the Mississippi, and from the Hist to the 35th de
gree of north latitude, a territory of vast extent and al
most unrivalled fertility, out of which have since been
formed the flourishing states of Alabama aiifl Missis
sippi. What, sir, were the conditions of that cession?
One condition was the payment to her by the United
States of the sum of $1,‘250,000, (out of the sale of
her own lands.) which is less than a fourth part of the
amatint to be paid the Cherokees for their territory,
which is not a tithe in quantity, nnd is generally moun
tainous and sterile. But the main inducement with
Georgia was to get possession of the Indian lands with
in her chartered limits. Has thisbeen done l Could
it have been done by the United States, as agreed up
on in her contract with Georgia? I ask, sir, that the
Clerk may read the preamble and the first and second
articles of a treaty concluded by the United States
with the Cherokees in the year 1817, and also part of
a convention made with that tribe in 1819, which an
nuls or modifies the bargain of 1817, and makes one of
a very different kind, without the consent of Georgia,
deeply as she was concerned.
[The Clerk here read froravol. 6. pages 702-4 part
ofthe treaty of 1817 alluded to, made with the Chero
kees by Andrew Jackson, Joseph McMinn, and Da
vid Meriwether—and tho preamblo and boundaries
of a treaty made with tho chiefs of the same tribe in
1819, by John C. Calhonn, Secretary of War.j
) tieman of this body will establish the fact, that whate
ver may have been the legislation of Georgia in regard
to these people, (and I candidly admit 1 have not al--
ways approved of it,) that she has no cause to uppre-
hend any tning from a comparison between her and
her sister States in the treatment of Indians. Tho
best evidence in our favor is, that while the ludiaus in.
Georgia have increased iu number, in [most of the
slates they have diminished, and in some are extinct
Does it, sir. become the gentleman from Virginia to
talk about humanity to Indians ? io rail against what
ne may consider their oppression by other states I
ask that gentleman, what has become of the Indians
who weie once the sole occupants of all the lauds in
his own State ? Where are the Pamunkies,. the
Nausemonds. and the Appamattoxes, ;he Rapp.-ihan-
nocks, the Chickahominies, and the gigantic Susque-
hannocks? Where are they, sir? I put the ques
tion, Mr. Chairman, not to you, but to the honorable
gentleman from Viiginia. Are they not extinct, anni
hilated. or driven to the wilds of the far West? I
can assure the gentleman from Virginia that I have
no unfriendly feeling to his slate; it is my native land,
and I feel for it much affection—perhaps nearly as
much he does; but much as I love Virginia, I love
Georgia still more.
Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Virginia made
one remark in regard to my state which lw;is particu
larly sorry to hear from him. He said that Georgia,
for persisting to execute her laws in regard to the In
dians, and for relusing to obey the mandates of the
Supreme Court, onght to have been “ whipped into
obedience” by the General Government. Whipped into
obedience ! Is that, sir, thehonorablegentleman’sstate
rights doctrine ? 1 am sure it is uot held to be ortho
dox doctrine by his state. Sir, I hope to God that I
may not Jive to seo the day, and that my children’s
children may not live to see it, when it shall be deem
ed necessary to “ whip into obedience’’ any state for tho
assertion of her rights. But, sir, as some ofthe gene
rals sent to the south have been thought rather slow in
their movements, it is my wish (should it be deemed
expedient to send one there on such an errand as this)
that the gentleman from Virginia be selected to per
form this operation of whipping into obedience. I pro-
mise him, sir, that he will find a warm reception, and
be happy, ifpermitted, to retrace his steps,.
As so much has been said, Mr. Chairman, against
Georgia, it may not be deemed obtnisiv’e or irrelevant
if I should say something iu her favor; and,.sir, with
your permission and that of the committee, I will
briefly recapitulate a part of what she has donu forhei -
seif and for this Union. She fought, sir, by the side
of her sisters, and as valiantly as any of them, to
achieve the liberty of tins country. Her Clarks and-
her Jacksons, her Mclntoshes and her Twiggses., are
known in the history of the revolutionary war, as are
the Cummings, the Applipgs, the Floyds, and the
Newnaus in that ofthe late war. While menaced by
the Indians on her extensive frontier, aud the Britans
on her sea-coast, Georgia sent a considerable army to
defend the then infant Territory of Alabama (bone of
our hone and flesh of our flesh), which had been in
vaded hy the enemy. When the Indian war broke
out recently in Florida, our volunteers rushed to the
standard of their country, as they have done in the-
war with t^e Creeks. The bravery of Captain Gar-
many, and of his officers and men, and of Captain
Horne and his small detachment, when assailed by
numbers greatly superior, is worthy of all praise.
But, sir, I can name circumstances to show that, in.
devotion to this Union, in public spirit and genuine
patriotism, Georgia is net behind auy of her sister
states.
At a most critical period of the late war with Great
Britain, when several of the southern states had been
invaded ; after this Capitol had been laid in ashes,
when your treasury was empty, your credit tottering^
and national bankruptcy was staring us in the face ;
when your Treasury notes, sir, which bore interest'
were spurned as trash, and a preference over them
given to notes of banks in this District, these last be
ing at a discount of twenty per cent: at this gloomy
time, sir, when your Government could uot furnish a
dollar to th® contractor or quartermaster of your army
—at this crisis in your affairs, sir, what did not Geor
gia do ? Sir, she poured out her treasury for the de
fence of the country; she'furnished money to feed
your soldiejs, and to procure forage and transporta
tion. She did more, sir. Her patriotic Governor,
Peter Early, (whose memory should be held dear by
all Americans, and revered by every Georgian,) pledg
ed the faith of the state, and bis ow n private iortute,
to get loans from the banks for the use of the United
States. This, sir, came within my own knowledge;
and I doubt whether the interest paid by Georgia, on
loans thus obtained for the United States, has yet been
repaid to her. I know, sir, that it was, while General
Mitchell was Governor of Georgia, and Mr. Rush Se
cretary of the Treasury, applied for and refused, on
the ground that the Government never r*id interest!
Mr. Chairman, 1 thank the commitb jfor their pa
tience and attention. I did not intend to have spoken
on this occasion, and should not, but forfihe attack made
upon my state by the gentleman from Virginia. Her
character I will defend, here and elsewhere.
