Ueying that good policy would dictate the
extinguishment of the Indian title,;did
not demand such stipulation, which (if re
quired) would hive been a very inade
quste consideration for the territory con
veyed, and the sovereignty granted. It
i believed that the portion to which
"forth Carolina was entitled, by the act ol
tesflon, of the residue of lands in the
Site of Tennessee, after the location of
al the military claim, would have been
amply sufficient for the extinguishment rf
the Indian title to lands within the limits
of Njrtb Carolina j but the United States
baveappropriated this resldoe, exclusive
ly, to the use of the State of Tennessee.
Ths United States, acknowledging the
rights sf North Carolina, and yielding to
her tuv claims, attempted, by the trea
ties of 1117 and 1119 wl h ihe.Chrrokee
Tribe ol Indians, to extinguish their title
to all the lands within the limits of this
State. This attempt proved abortive, by
I mlsflU Indrscriblng the territory Jo.
tended to be surrendered by the Tnduhf
The language of the treaties leaves littlu
doubt of tbe intention of the contracting
Dartiea. to extinguish the ludun title to
all the lands within this Stste; but the
application ol a technical rule produces
the difficulty. The treaties stipulate.
the Cbcrokccs shall surrender all their
unos lying wiimn ;ne limits oi noun
Carolina: and then unfortunately set
forth the supposed metes and bounds of
the territory intended to be surrenderco.
Irt thete metes and bounds (here is a
great mistake. The foimer is called a
general, the latter, a particular descrip
lion; and it is said, the particular con
trols and restrains the general descrip
lion. The lands in the occupanr y nl the

A great number of suits were intitu

The-facts connected with this claim,
and which induced North Carolina to
purchase those reservations without first
applying to the General Government, are
briefly as follows
Immediaiely after the ratification of the
treaty of IB 19, the Sute of North Caroli
na appointed Surveyors and Commission

The duties assigned those Commis

These are not the only inducements ; the
red men are not within M.e palo of tivili
xation, they are not under the restraints
of morillty, nor the influence of religion ;
and they are always disagreeable and
dangerous ncighbnisto a civilized pco
p4erTbe proximity of those ted men to
our white population, subjects the l(ter
to depredations and annoyance, and is a
sou-ce of perpetual end mutual irritation.
It is believed, this unfortunate race of
beings might, etsily, be mUucerj to ex
change their lands in this State, or ter
ritory beyond the Mississippi, whither so
many of their bretbren'have already gone.
It is unnecessary to recite facta or urge

of this State, but to the Indians them

The reasons which have brought your
committee to this conclusion are s
Ftrtt. The General Government had
ho "ipowerto exereise'-any control. over any.:
part of the soil within the limits of any of
the original States, and that the injuries
sustained by North Carolina resulted

Your committee entertain no doubt as ,
to the correctness of the first proposition,
" that the Government had no power to
grant the soil within the limits, of the
original Stafes," &c. But as this power
has been exercised, and,- consequently,
claimed by tbe Government, your, f om
