facts that Pensacola is the largest naval station of 1
the Government, the general rendezvous of the '
Gulf squadron; the salubrity of its climate, re- 1
freshed constantly during the summer months by 1
the coolest breezes from the Gulf—the beauty of
the Bay and the neighboring islands and rivers,
the abundance and delicacy ofthe fish with winch
the water abounds, and its proximity to the best
southern ma.kets. give Pensacola the preference
over all other places in these latitudes, as a healthy
and delightful summer resort.

SPEECH OF
j WILLIAM C. DAWSON, of GEORGIA,
On the Bill making appropriation for the suppress
’ si on and prevention of Indian hostilities, for the
year 1833, and to carry irilo execution the Treaty
made unfit the Vherokee Indians in 1835, and to
provide for their Removal , <%T.; and in vindication
of the policy of Georgia towards theCherofrees. —
Delivered in the House of Representatives, in
Committee iff the Way 31, 1833.
Mr. Chairman : I am sure that the committee
will cheerfully indulge me with a hearing on the
bill now before us. The extraordinary latitude
.aken in the discussion, the unkind if not illibe
ral imputations, yea, the unprovoked and nro
voking attacks, repeatedly made upon the au
thorities of Geo’ gia, in reference to the policy
ot that State towards the Indians within her ju
risdiction, not only justify, but demand it of me.
Sir, I deeply regret the temper and character of
this discussion; it has given me no pleasure to
hear such representations of the legislation of
the Slate of Georgia. I heard, with surprise,
the extravagant and enthusiastic eulogies pro
nounced on the Indians in contrast with the
whites. Such unnecessary and highly wrought
comparisons and contrasts can only result from
a total ignorance of the subject, or from a pro
rienl disposition to be esteemed the hold assail
ants of the supposed oppressors and the vindica
tors, of tlie oppressed; a propensity which must
have many charms, from the influence it seems
to exert over some gentlemen. These things
would render it inexcusable in me to remain si
lent. The attacks thus made on my constitu
ents, a ju it sense of the injury and of the resent,
rnent due to such ruthless violations of the re
spect due to the feelings of others, by such
groundless anil uncourtcous allegations, would
make me recreant to my duly, -and a traitor to
my constituents, if I were to remain silent.—
Honor, feeling, justice, and humanity have been
spoken of as being disregarded, in the relations
between the white and the red man in Georgia,
fcy those who do not understand those relations,
and, consequently, deserves severe reprehension j
for their slanderous denunciations. Independent j
of these urgent considerations, it is due to the
position I occupy as a representative of the State j
of Georgia, and to those who particularly sent
me here, that I should present the views I en.
lertain on the subject, I will show that Goor.
gia, in her legislation, has uniformly observed a
cautious and just regard for the interest of the
Indians; cont rolled them by the principles ofhu.
inanity and justice; and that, whatever kindness
and liberality (compatible with the rights of the
Slate) would dictate, has been done.
To comprehend fully the rights of Georgia to
all the territory and the jurisdiction over if with,
in her chartered limits, and to present her vin
dication fairly, it will be necessary to examine
into the rights belonging to the States separate,
ly, before the formation of the Federal Consti
tution. I shall then show what has been our
State policy, and that this policy has not been
in violation of, or incompatible with, a just, a
wise, and a liberal humanity. In this I shall j
confine myself chiefly to recorded facts, so that, j
if my constitutional positions be wrong, or the
policy of the State be cruel or oppressive, both i
can he easily controverted.
The first position which I shall assume, and !
which I deem necessary to a full understanding j
of the right of jurisdiction of the States over the ;
whole extent of their chartered limbs, is, that at j
the time of the formation of the constitution of
this confederacy, the Stales were severally sove
reign and independent. Each Slate being sove
reign, was so, not only over persons residing
within their respective limits, but necessarily
over the territory. And what territory? Why,
all that comprehended in the charter which
granted them political existence, as separate and
distinct Colonies under the Crown of Great
Britain. Within those chartered limits, the I
State holding the sovereignity held the jurisdic
tion.
The convention which formed the compact of
this confederacy, bestowed on the Federal Go.
vernment the exorcise of a portion of their sove
reign powers. Bo do this, the Stales must have
previously possessed it entire; or how else could
they delegate it? The right to bestow, implies
clearly the pre-existing right to hold; and the
act of receiving, is of itself a recognition of the
power of Ine grantor.
Before the adoption of the Federal Constitu
tion, the sovereign power must have been held
by the States, respectively; for the powers ex- !
ercised by this Government are all derived from !
the Slates. The States, then, having delegated :
a part, uctained all the powers not thus delega- I
ted to the General Government, or prohibited by j
the compact to them.
The States, being then in the possession of
these powers, after the adoption of the constitu. i
lion, had the original right, under the retained
sovereign powers, and also under the constitu
tion of the United States, to exercise all power
not thus delegated. Georgia then, as well as
the o her States, had sovereignity and jurisdic.
tion within her limits, over both persons and
territory; and the undoubled right to use that ju
risdiction, subject only to the limitations of the
constitution; hence, it is clear that the Slate of
Georgia, like all other states, or nations, has ju- j
risdic.lion over all persons, white, red, or black, I
within her boundaries, and can exercise that ju
risdiction, by extending her civil and criminal I
laws over the enlire population, without distinc- i
tion of color. There is nothing in the constitu- :
tion or the law of nations exempting Indians.
But again ; under the Constitution of the Uni- '
ted States, Indians residing within a State are I
subject to taxation, at the will of the State; and
after taxation, they become, in part, the basis ofi
representation. I refer to the following clause 1
of that instrument:
Article 1 Section 2. Representatives and direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the several States i
which may be included within this Union, accord- j
ing to their representative numbers, which shall be
determined by adding to the whole number of free ;
persons, including those hound to service for a term |
of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three
fifibs of all other persons.
The power of taxation is one of the highest
and most important of sovereign attributesr and j
here, i:i the constitution, this power is expressly j
recognised : does it not, then, necessarily follow, '
that the power of taxation carries with it, not as
en incident merely, hut absolutely, the authority
to create a tax, and to regulate the assessment,
and the other incidents nccessaiy to the execu
lion of the power? If this be so, (and it is clear,)
that Indians can be taxed by a State, under
whose jurisdiction must they be? Let any con
stitutional lawyer, whose opinions are opposed
to these views, and who thinks proper to enter
into this debate, come to the argument fairly
and with candor—not as a partisan, or an en
thusiast—and I am persuaded his investigations
will force him to admit that this power belongs
to the Slates respectively. To my mind, sir, it
is beyond controversy.
Then, by the Constitution of the United S'ates,
independent of the original right of sovereignty,
inherent and reserved to the Slates, under that
instrument, the States repeclively ther’ght [

, will desire to meet the question thus presented
but will prefbr to indulge in the expressions of
. the sympathies of the heart, and not in the con
, victions of the understanding,
s Under this right of jurisdiction; Mr. Chair,
man, notwithstanding the sympathies and mor.
bid sensibilities exhibited by gentlemen in this
debate, every old State in this Union has, long
since exercised this very power, and extended
their laws over the Indians residing within their
limits : but, sir, none of the tender feelings and
yearning sympathies are, tn these days, indulged
, by our political enthusiasts and religious fanat
ics at home: it is one of the charac'eristics of
those under the influence of this malignant phi-
Janthropy, to disregard their own actings and
doings and the conduct of those immediately
around them; and their distempered humanity
and mistaken sympathy are sent abroad in seaiclx
ot their objects.
In days that, have passed away, wc were fautrht
Inal charity should begin at home. It is not°so
now: it begins any where else than at home.—
i U oo ® 6 * l is that our people, in certain sections,
are found intermeddling with the affairs of
others; shedding tears over the condition of
those whom they have never seen, and whose
comforts and pleasures far exceed those of three
fourths of the world. I trust I shall be pardon
ed fortius digression. If there be a State
among the old thirteen which has not extended
her jurisdiction over the Indians, I ask any
member from that State to rise iu his place and
s‘ate the fact. Who will do it? Not one sir.
1 he history of the States lias recorded it; ma
ny of them did so before the adoption of their
own constitutions; yes, sir, before the formation
I o,[ le J ? rUc “ oftlle confederacy. To prevent a
j b ‘ a,e frorn l,le exercise of this jurisdiction, and
its enforcement, yon must show the inhibition
j lO lhe constitution of the United Slates. I ask
| gentlemen to point out, in that instrument the
j ciause which prohibits a Sla'e from excrcisino
| 1113 P ow er. It cannot be shown. I assume*
i then, this position: that the Indian tribes Within
I the Quartered limits of a slate, are not sovereign
I and independent. Sir, no member on this floor,
who regards his reputation as a statesman, would
venture the opinion that Indian tribes within a
Stale, and especially within one of the old thir.
teen, are not subject to the laws of that State,
by virtue of their sovereignty. Once admit that
position, and ourideas of discovery andconquest,
and all their consequences fall.
The legislation of the Stales has closed the ar.
gument; and it is an important historical truth,
which these enthusiasts and fanatics ouerht to
recollect, that the Indians within the old thirteen
! States, and the lands inthtir occu a’icy, ha\o

the contrary, Georgia!—yes, sir, Georgia!
| was not only among the la'st, but the very last
I of the old thirteen, to take on herself the regu
j lation of (ho Indians by law; and yet Georgia
I has been censured, abused, and slandered, for
; doing that which her sister Slates had done, and
I long persevered in, before she even contemplated
! I will be excused, I trust, for adverting to a few
1 historical facts in reference to this point, not for
j the purpose of censure or reproach, but to show
| others that Georgia was far more tardy than
j themselves in establishing this principle of ju
i risdiction. J
Massachusetts herself, at an early period, and
j whilst she was a colony, exiended her laws over
every tiibe of Indians within her borders; nay,
more, she limited their rights of occupancy to so
many acres of land; ajipointed guardians for
them; among other prohibitions, made it penal
for an Indian to become intoxicated, and if found
so, he was liable to stripes. Many seemingly
rigorous and oppressive Jaws were enacted*)/
that Slate, to regulate and control those Indian
tribes. The fanatic of the present day would
weep over the misdeeds of those who have gone
before us, and ask of Heaven to look in mercy
on them. AVhat weakness! what ridiculous
sanctity ! Sir, I have a deep and sincere regard
for our Puritan forefathers; they have, for cen
turies, been the theme of eulogy and eloquence;
hut the restless, intermeddling,’ morbid philan
thropist of this generation, denounces them as
dcamons. It is the part of wisdom and of duty
to regard our ancestors with respect, and to have
a sacred regard for their character and their vir
tues. Every age and section of the world must
be controlled and governed by the existing causes
and circumstances which surround them; and
he is a useless and troublesome fool, who dis
turbs society by his hypocritical whinings and
cantings over the transgressions,- as he sup.
poses, of his progenitors, or the actings and
doings of his contemporaries, because they
value common sense, and totally disregard his
sickly and wicked intermeddling with the af
fairs of others, and his absurd attempts to change
the destiny of the world. I have no doubt Mas
sachusetts acted towards the Indians according
to the necessities of the times, the character)
the feelings, and relations existing between
them ; yet, under these laws, and the influence
of civilization, though designed for a different
effect by the good people of that State, their
Indian tribes have yielded to their destiny, and
have been swept away from the face of the
earth.
Virginia, one of whose representatives (Mr.
Wise) nas spoken with so much zeal on this sub
jeet, and who has travelled out of his way to
comment seveiely on the legislaiion of Georgia,
has long since extended her jurisdiction over the*
Indians; limited their rights of occupancy to
fifty acres ; and yet her representative seems to
have forgotten it. His remarks shall receive xny
; attention before I conclude.
New York, too—is it necessary for me to
show an intelligent body.- What has been
her legislation? Her statutes are known : she
has extended and exercised her jurisdiction
over the Indians in the fullest manner; and
j yet, from that State, Georgia has been denoun
ced and rebuked. Sir, I ae-ert it, and history
will sustain me, that the Indixns within the lim.
its of Georgia have been treated, hy that State,
with as much liberality, justice, and Humanity, as
those of any other Slate. I will be excused
for adverting briefly to the history of the past; I
am necessarily driven into it from the course
pursued towards the State which I represent; I
shall, therefore, review a few of the statements
made, and bring into contrast the conduct of
Georgia with that of other States, as well in
their course of policy as their moral justice to.
