j WILLIAM C. DAWSON, of GEORGIA,
On the Bill making appropriation for the suppres
’ n ° n 'i prevent ion oj Indian hostilities,for the
year 1833, and to carry into execution the Treaty
made with the Cherokee Indians in 1835, and to
provide for their Removal, sc.; and in vindication
oj the policy of Georgia towards the Cherokees.—
delivered in the House of Representatives, in
Committee of the Whole, May 31, 1833.
Mr Cl, ■ [CONTLNCED.j
™ ‘ , Cfl r a^ man » tllere were other causes de
: manded of Georgia this extension of her laws—
additional circumstances which urged the adon.
tion of that measure. She was cut off, by the
territory in the occupancy of the Cherokees, en
tirely from Tennessee, and parts of the Stales of
Noith Carolina and Alabama; so that between
Tennessee and Georgia there was a distance
through the Indian settlements of about twenty
five miles. The mother, whose residence was in
Georgia, who desired to visit her daughter who
resided in Tennessee, could not enjoy that hap
piness, in consequence of apprehensions of being
outraged in her feelings, if not endangered in
her person, in passing through the Indian lerri
toiy. by the Indians or the proflgate whites who |
tad taken refuge here. Facilities for intercourse |
between the States were not admitted; no roads 1
of any kind could be constructed; no bridges i
elected: no work of any kind carried on by tiie ;
State to facilitate commercial or other inter- !
course. Georgia, thus deprived of the direct i
trade from the West, droves of horses, mules,
and bogs, going to Georgia for sale, were com
pelled to travel a great, distance out of a direct
toute, to avoid the Indian country, and procure
giam for their stock; and the same causes im
peded the transportation of merchandize from
onr Atlantic cities. All this operated severely
on the Georgians, who purchased from the
Western tradesman his stock; for the consumer
had to pay the increased expenses of the cir.
cuitous route to market. All this because the j
Cherokees claimed the unrestrained right to the !
countiy. But, in addition, the gold mines were j
discovered in that section of Georgia. What
was the consequence? Why, sir, from every
s ® c L!, on l^e United States, and from all parts
of Europe 100, people began to gather there; a
more hiterogeneous population were never con
gregated anywhere; almost every nation and 1
every longue were seen and heard; they were
subject to no law that could be executed under
the circumstances then existing; hence outrages '
were constantly committed there in violation
both to the laws of God and man. The country
not being organized, that region was overrun
with dissolute foreigners and others, who had
taken possession of the gold region without the
semblance of authority, and outraged all the i
rights of the Stale. These intruders lore up the 1
land in search of gold, to an alarming extent, :
and exercised all the rights of absolute owners, ! i
so tar as the use of soil was involved —commit- i ■
ted every trespass, and were frequently on the
eve of civil commotion among themselves. The
laws of Georgia could not then be fully execu- : I
ted, because there were not citizens settled with- '
in the country to aid their execution. 1
In this state of things the General Government I
attempted the execution of the ‘‘intercourse law,” 1
and sent a military force into the country, under
the command of a Federal officer. And, sir, t
what was the result? A ridiculous farce. Such i
but | ]
they did not desire to fight, but preferred laugh- i
ing at you. Some were arrested because they j <
had violated the intercourse law, but were dis- i
charged by habeas corpus, on the ground that ]
the Slate of Georgia had jurisdiction over her 1
territorial limits, and the General Government 1
no authority within them. The State finally <
sent into the country a guard—a power neither i
military nor civil, but partaking of both. That, |
too, failed of success. # t
Let me ask, was a sovereign State to permit <
such disorganization?—a Slate which in all her '<
relations, in the language of our own Troup,
(whose “political character and principles are 1
admired by his friends, and respected by his ene- 1
mies,”) “has evinced a sincere desire to harmo- |
nize with the Union; to maintain peace and 1
tranquility with the Indians, until longer for- i
bearance would cease to be a virtue : in fact, to j
lend ourselves, as we have always done, heart
and hand, to the support of every wise and vir.
tuous administration ofthe General Government.
Let it be remembered that Georgia has a deep '
stake in tne prompt decision of the present ques
tion. Os all the old States, Georgia is tiie only
one whose political organization is complete;
her civil polity is deranged; her military force
cannot be reduced to systematic order ai/d sub
ordination; the extent of her actual resources {
cannot be counted; the great work of internal }
improvement is suspended; and all because j
Georgia is not in the possession of her vacant
territory—a territory waste and profitless to the ■
Indians, profitless to the United Stales; but in
the possession of the rightful owners, a resource
of strength, of revenue, and of Union.” This
was the language of that statesman and patriot,
George M. Troup.
Sir, until Georgia exercised her jurisdiction,
and abolished this Cherokee sovereignity, she
could not proceed in the great work of internal
improvement. 1 o gratify the hypocritical sane- |
tily of designing politicians, and the mistaken
zeal of religious fanaticism, or the selfish designs
of John Ross, must Georgia suspend the great j
work of uniting by railroad the Western waters
with the Atlantic, and thereby opening a great
highway for Western trade direct to our sea
ports of the South ?
To remedy all these evils, and secure peace
and subordination, what could the State do ? ■
Just what sire has done, sir, a,nd nothing else
—extend her laws over the country ; exercise ,
her criminal and civil jurisdiction : and this she
: did in 1829, but to go into operation in June, ;
1830 ; which law was necessary to the protec
tion of the Indians, the soil in thtir occupancy,
L S the character and rights ofthe State.
1 But it has been said that Georgia extended
, not ord’ l her laws over the country, but also took
i possession of the soil. Yes, sir, she did ; reserv
ing the occupany of the Indians to a very am
-3 pie extent, greater than any other Stale; and I
3 invite a comparison. If others have been kind,
- we have been kinder ; if they were liberal, we
have been more so.
1 How could the civil authority of the State be
5 enforced, unless the country was organized into
Jj counties, and officers residing in them to carry
out and execute those laws? It was the only
course, belter than a military government, to
t-. preserve the peace of the country. Hence the
P formation of counties; their organization and
settlement by a population intelligent and obedi
ent to the law—men of character and respecta
bility. I submit to the country the legislation
y of Georgia, and ask an honest comparison with
U the legislation of any other Slate. Georgia has
s ’ tro’v subserved the cause of humanity and jus-
tice in the steps she has taken to protect herself,
n . the Indians, and her citizens.
I have often had cause of excitement, if not

t.emen on this floor, who reside more than a

j scarcely tell how their neighbors five miles from
them manage their domestics or children, bold
y and unhesitatingly pronounce judgment on
the people of Georgia, and claim to direct their
legislation and their conduct, and to judge of
the propriety ot their measures. This is not a
question to be used for party purposes; the rights
of Georgia and the lives ofher people are not to
be weighed by electioneering balances; such
considerations deserve and will receive the con
tempt of every honest man. All the tendencies
otthis discussion, as conducted by gentlemen in
opposition to these appropriations, are to inflame
the Indians; and if Ross and his associates, who
are now in the gallery, were not sensible men.

sequence. It is well that the comt'non Indian,
whose nature is revengeful, has not heard this

But what were those laws which Georgia ex.
tended over the Indians? They were the same
winch operated uuonourown citizens; for crime
the punishment the same for the same offence; in
their contracts they are cautiously protected
wisely so.
To close this review, I invite gentlemen east
or west, north or south of Georgia, to pmuLto a
single c_a&p protected by the
law, and by a kind and generous people, and
none are more so than the citizens of the Cher
okee counties. Some of the present generation
may condemn, but the time will come when the
policy and conduct of Georgia and her people
will be appreciated by all; and whenever that
time arrives, I do not doubt that the unanimous
opinion of all unprejudiced minds will he, that,
in the necessary exercise of her constitutional
powers, the policy of the State has been char
acterized by a forbearing kindness and enlight
ened humanity towards a powerless remnant of
an unfortunate race.
Mr. Chairman, I will now turn my attention
for a short time to some gentlemen who have
have preceded me in this debate. I take no
pleasure, sir in discussing of matters having lit
tle or no connexion with the subject under con
sideration, nor should I now do so, but from an
imperious sense ,of duty. In answer to some re.
marks I made a few days since, on the Presi
deni’s message and the propositions from the
War Department, in relation to the Cherokee
treaty, much has been said during this debate.
When the message was communicated and
read to us, I spoke freely. 1 knew that it would
be productive of no good, but, in all probability,
would lead to bloodshed—at. least to confusion
and delay in the execution of the treaty. And
I told the House, if the Government undertook
to postpone the citizens of Georgia in taking
po«session of their lands, that a conflict be
tween the State Government and the General
Government would inevitably ensue ; for I knew
the Governor of Georgia would execute 'he
laws of that State at every hazard, and that
the interposition was unexpected to me, and
would be so to the people of Georgia, win se
Governor had been notified that the treaty should
be executed. I also stated that the friends of
humanity—the real, not the canting hypocrites
—had labored day after day to induce John Ross
and his Cherokee delegation to return to his
people, and advise them to remove peaceably ;
that it was his duty to do so; and I told him
myself, that every misfortune that should fall on
the Cherokee people, unless he did return, would
be justly chargeable to him,for at a word he could
remove them in peace and harmony; that by
so doing he would subserve the cause of hu
manity, and prove to the world the sincerity
| of his regard for his people ; that by such con.
duct he might save the lives of innocent women
and children, the lives of the unlettered and ig
norant among his own people, for the white In
dian would avoid danger. Sir, it is due to that
gallant and patriotic officer, General Scott,
! whose services have been required in the execu
tion of this treaty, to say, that the night before
he left this city he urged Ross to go with him
to the Cherokee country —told him it was his
j duly to do so. I was present and united in the
, ] advice. Ross refused, and since that period I
considered the determination of Ross fixed, not
to go ; and that nothing further would he heard
; from Ross except through General Scott. Both.
General Scott and mvself held this language to
> Ross, not on account of any difficulties he could
> interpose in the execution of the treaty, but ex
, clusively from feelings of humanity for the poor
, ignorant and misguided creatures who had been
) misled by his counsels. Gentlemen have ex
, pressed great gratification at this sudden inter
i position of the President, and have congratula.
_ ted the country that Mr. Van Buren would stay
the execution of the Cherokee treaty ; that the
3 treaty should not be executed. This language
, is bold, peremptory, and dictatorial, and evi.
s denlly means that this House would sustain the
President in this course, and that Georgia should
; submit. Permit me to say, sir, to this body, be
not deceived; that State obeys the exercise of
