KprecU of Mr. James Grvham, of North Carolina, on the bill making an appro priation to prevent and suppress Indian Hostilities, delivered in the House of Representatives, May 24, 1838. Mr. Chairman : The bill now under dis- hssion proposes to appropriate money to ttevent and suppress Indian hostilities. fnis appropriation is asked, not to declare Vvar against the Cnerokee Indians, but to treveut and suppress a protracted and bloody war by them upon the white settlements! in Fwrthj Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and icorgia. inis ooject meets my ueciuea anu ougnt to De lainy ana truly executed ; pprouation.

A small portion of the Cherokee country laps on the south west part of Norih Carolina, and lies with- n the limits of the congressional district hich I have the honor to represent 011 this sloor. i I have no hostile feelings to tne Cherokee Indians ; my constituents and my State have no unkind feelings to them. fcince the treaty of Hopewell, in the year 1785, down fo this day, the atate of North ICaroliAa has uniformly acted with iustice !snd geiierosity towards those Indians ; and bv constituents have respected their rights, janu rnveu in amicaDie relations on frotitieij borders. The treaties of 1817 and 1819, granting reservations of land to cer tain resident Indians, were productive of much confusion and some litigation in N. Carolina ; still the Indians and their council were al ways well satisfied with the decis- ions 01 our courts; tor iustice is ably anu mportiially administered in North Carolina o a1 classes and to all colors. About one lundrei,! Cherokee Indians, seven or eight years since, voluntarily left their tribe, and removed themselves to a white settlement in my district; and lam informed they are temperate, orderly, and industrious, and dwell in peace among their white neighbors. 1 am further informed, by late letters, that the Indians are coming from all parts of uu:ir uuiiuii, anu taking remge in my tns- irici. 1 mention these tacts to repudiate and repel all the unfounded charges of op pression and cruelty that have been hatched in sickly sympathy, and conjured up in this debate, so far as they relate to me and mine, and to demonstrate that my district and State have at all times acted with ius- ticc, meraiity, humanity, anu mercy, to war. is the Cherokees are moie civilized and culti vated than any other Indiana with wh im I am acquainted; still the great body of their a : I . I 1 ioruiu xnax i snouiu ever surrender my country, and forsake the white people- for the red race. In the year 1835 the Cherokee chiefs sold by treaty all their lands east of the Mis sissippi river to the United States, for nhe gross sum of five millions six hundred thou sand dollars, (65,600,000,) and agreed, on or before the 23d thy of May, 1838, to re move west of the Mississippi river, to an extensivjj territory allotted to them by dif ferent compacts,- and embracing, by com putation, thirteen millions eight hundred thousand acres of land. It is now alleged here in debate that this treaty is fraudulent and voidi and that the appropriation now demanded to execute it, and preserve the peace, ought to be withheld or suspended until we pronounce that treaty fair or foul, good orad. Mr. Chairman, I hold, and now contend, tlinl 4" .1. .

This branch of Congress tas nothing to do in making or unmaking treaties, j This House has the rightful and constitutional power over the purse and money of the people; and, in pursuance of that very j power, so vested, this House, Jwo years: since, made an appropriation of """""j hia iiuuuicu Liiurudliu uoilir! l; execute and fulfil this treaty. Yes, sir, t!je Journal of 1836. which is now before my eyes,t proves that one hundred and twenty-five members voted for the appro priation, while only forty-three could be lound to vote against it. This treaty, there re, was nade and ratified by the proper parties to whom the constitution committed "'is high trust, and was solemnly approv al, in appropriating the ways and means r its execution, by a large majority o". the Presentatives of the people. It has now become the supreme Jaw of the landV and jjoth State! and individual rights are vested Mer it. The contract is no longer execu ry, but npart actually executed, and Qdreds of Indians have received thou- sands of dollars, and removed, to the far Western wilderness, under its bountiful pro visions. I could not if I would, and would not if I could, overthrow and demolish it. The very question involved in this treaty, and at present under investigation, was so e nnly decided by both branches of Con gress, aooui two years ago, ma protracted and perplexing controversy with France. France then delayed and declined to perform her treaty stipulations and obligations with the United States. What then did this House say to "the law's delay and the inso lence of office Vy The 'answer was unani mous : we will stand upon our constitution al rights ; we will not look back, beyond or behind the treaty. The French case is analogous and parallel to the Indian case ; it decides it. Wo cannot n w look back, behind or beyond the Cherokee treaty, solemnly made and ratified by the Preside it and Senate. We cannot rightfully get over it, under it, or around it : because the con stitution has erected an impassable barrier between us and the treaty-making power. Mr. Chairman, although this treaty is a constitutional shield in defence of the ground I assume, yet 1 will proceed, and show I think to the satisfaction of all unprejudiced minds, that the Cherokee treaty of 1835 was fairly made, upon a full consideration, m i- 111 1 1 . and sincere friends of the Indians should wish to see it abrogated, nullified, or viola ted. Now, sir, to the law and to the testi mony. The most intelligent and influential 'Cherokee chiefs. are quite rich, (the owners of valuable lands and slaves,) and they have become so by the frequent receipts of an nuities and appropriations from the Gener al Government, while the great mass of the tribe are poor, very poor, miserable creatures. The chiefs and head-men are generally white Indians not red Indians. By white Indians I mean those who have muii; tn uic tvin.u 111111 a uiuua ill iu,;ii ir tltcii- vmns thin thoir hmra nt Ho lnIi-.ii utn.il- ; itKii i - t .nun t,ii v ua nib iimiau u rv 1 John Ross, the , , . P parts white, and only one degree Indian. Mr. Chairman are you acquainted with the Indian character and customs ? If you are, you know they repose implicit confidence in their head-men. The law of their nation is the will of the head-men. All the treaties of the United States with the Indian tribes have been made with their chijefs. The Cherokee Indians have, for a dumber of years, had serious difficulties with the Suic of Georgia ; and to add to their misf ir.unes, they also have had bitter internal divisions among themselves. The chiefs have split into two formidable parties. Amidst these difficulties and dissensions, John Ross and his party, delegates, in. the year 1835, came ;to Washington, and offered to 3ell all the Cherokee nation east of the Mississippi riv er,, for the gross and lumped sum of twenty millions of dollars. This proposition was i i i i. . i . . l ral Jackson,) as being too extravagant and , i , r u 1 .1 i 1 enormous, and verv far beyond the real , r.i 1-1 b i i value of the land.

The President and his Secretary at War perceived the bait on the hook, and declined all idle children's play with this adroit and skilful negotiator. Let it be borne in mind, that at that time "the majority of the Senate were politically op posed to the President, Ross and his partv men maue anotner proposi'.ion ot sale to ) the President, and reference ot value to th Senate, which I will read from their own words : February VS, j83.

The Secretary at War (Gov. Cass) answered the letter I have just read, as follows : Department of War, March 6. 1835. Gkxtlimkit: In your letter of the 28th ultimo, you stated your readiness to accept fur yourselves, and lo recommend to the Cherokee people to accept, such sum for their claims cast of the Mississippi river as the Senate of the United S.'ated might devm just. The Senate hav, by a resolution, slated, as their opinion, that " a sttm not exceeding five mil lions of dollars should be paid to the Chtrtket i d ans for nil their lands and possessions east f the Mississippi river." The President wishes now. as he has always done hereto ore. to treat wiili you in a spirit of cand r a well as lilerality. He has. therefore, directed me t. communicate to you, at once, the resolution of th Senate, and to state hi willingness to enter into a neg&ti.ition with you for the ce sion o! all your claims east of the Mississippi, upon condition that the whole amount of the consideration to be given shall 1.01 exceed the above-me itionej sum. This you vveie before informed shonl I be done, and the plejge will be redeemed with fidelitv. I am 11010 ready to receive your propositions con cerning the various stipulations to be imhodied in ;i treaty for l he protection of private rights, and for sucli arrangements as may be necessary for the re moval and re-establishment of your peopUi. Very. &c. LEWIS CASS. Messrs, John Ross. Taylor, Dau'l McCoy, SamM UunUr, Wm. Rodjers. Now, Mr. Chairman, here is a proposi tion, on behalf of Ro s and his pariy, so ftr as they were concerned", to abide the award of the American Senate in relation to the value of the Cherokee country; the Presi- aent uirectlv acceded to that proposition. and communicated the matter in dispute to i the Senate, and n furred the value of the land entirely to that enlightened body.

Ross and his party further agread and un dertook to recommend to their nation to make a treaty for such sum as the Senate's award should fix and designate. . Here is a fair contract, (dictated by Ross himself,) founded a high and heaping price. Now, how has this promise been performed ? How has this contract been executed ? The President, through his Secretary, immedi ately notified Ross and his party that he was ieady to negotiate the treaty for the aggre - gate sum ol five millions ot dollars", to be in full for the entire cession ; but the applica tion of the money would be such as the i - r I . 1 i i .

He left this city, and went home ; not to recom mend, but to oppose, the treaty, on the ba sis and value pronounced by the Senate ; and he has opposed it from that time to this day, and used and exerted all his power and in fluence to defeat it.

The six hundred thousand dollar provision was conditional, and dependent on the subse quent approbation of the Senate. This trea ty was signed generally by the Ridge party, and by William Rodgers, one of the Ross delegates, who agreed to abide the award of the Senate ; and he faithfully redeemed that pledge. The treaty of New Echota was sent by ihe President to the Senate, who knew the whole history of this matter, from beginning to end, and they approved and ratified it. Now, Mr. Chairman, I have shown you that Ridge and his party were equally au thorized by the tribe with Ross to make a treaty; and they did actually execute one, for six hundred thousand dollars more than the Senate (as referees) said the country was worth ; and still Ross refused to sign it. Here you perceive this treaty was indeed signed by one party, (the Ridge party;) and it was solemnly agreed, in writing, to be signed by the other party, (the R'iss party.) When the benate of the United S:ates ad vised and consented to the ratification of this treaty, they acted upon the well-known and long-established principles of a court of equi- ttv' so 38 J(hn Ross and his party were j nai rcoss and his delegates, having ex pressly given their assent hy previous sub mission and award, were bound in conscience to abide by and execute the trsaty. A chan cellor, upon these facts, adduced and attest ed in a court of equity, would have directed and decreed a specific performance of the original agreement, and compelled Ross to execute the contract according to the Sen ate's award. The advocates and apo-offists of John Rss charge fraud in the execution of this treaty. Speculation, declamation, and tie nunciation, have each exhausted their vo cabulary of hard words and harsh names, to stamp' and brand this whole transaction with iniquity and infamy ; but hard words are not strong arguments. "Now, gentlemen, where is the bad faith? Where is the foul fraud ? There is none on the part of the United States. Can John Ross, the com plainant, who seems to excite and enlist the temler sympathies of so many honor able members of Congress, say as much, and say it truly ? Nof sir ; no. His word is not equal to his bond : his written prom ise is not equivalent to a treaty ; yet he im putes fraud to others : to the President and Senate of the United States. Fordoing what? For acceding to his own proposition. He is estopped by his own act to make this allegation. He is condemned out of his own mouth, and the condemnation is writ ten and recorded by his own hand and pen. He is like an eagle, shot by ai arrow feath ered from his own wins;. This wily chief tain must not be permitted to play the game of fast and loose at his pleasure. Head, he wins ; tails, we lose. Twenty millions, he's. fast; five millions, and he aint there. Mr. Chairman, this treaty is fair and valid, and was made according to the long est;tblished usage of treating with Indian chiefs. 1 he amount of money (five mil- hons six hundred tliousand dollars) paid . tliey do dread and deprecate the necessity for the lands, possessions, and removal, is ofkim the Indians. They hope most sin a very high and heaping price ; and I do be- cgrel that the wise councils of humane le- lieveit is more than the country is actually worth. It was liberally bestowed and a warded by the Senate, supposing at the time it would make abundant satisfaction for the land and all injuries committed. This treaty not only rests upon a large and very liberal pecuniary consideration, but is founded on a most humane and benevolent policy and philanthrophy. 1 he history ; and experience of every State in this Union ; adundantly prove the white man and the red man cannot dwell together in peace, ; tranquility, and equa ity. The Cherokee ! Indians are surrounded ny a dense wnue j & " j Yankees, and undisturbed by the cupidity of speculators. Yes, sir, I would build up, on the Western frontier a Chinese wall, by Congressional enactment, between the white and the red man, that the Indians might for ever lire there in security and peace. The policy of the United States in re moving and locating all the Indians west of the Mississippi river is a wise, and humane, and if -preserving policy. .It had its ori gin with the lofty statesmen and enlighten ed philanthropists of by-gone days, and was intended to: save and rescue the Indian tribes from extermination and annihilation. In the thick forests and. flowery prairies of the Western wilds their hearts will leap for joy in the manly exerrises of the hunter's life. There they will roam over nature's gardens and pure streams, contented and happy in the pursuits of their own chosen pleasures", unaniioyed by the frauds of the frontier, and uncorrupted by the vices of the pioneer. It has been said in this de bate, by way of censuring the Government for its policy, if the Indians are removed and congregated on the Western frontier, they will unite and wage war upon the U. States, and devastate and dermpulate the States of Arkansas and Missouri. Is this view of the case founded in fancy or in fact? Is it not a fancy sketch, which exists only in a deceased state of the imagination? How can fifteen or sixteen different tribes, scattered in the wilderness from Texas to Canada, and speaking different languages, having different habits, customs, and inter ests, unite and co-operate in one common war against the white people ? It is cer- tainly not within the range cf probabilities ; and it requries some effort and stretch of, imagination to bring it in the neighborhood of possibilities. We might as well expect all the nations of Ef'pe to unite and de clare war upon us. T.is Indians will have war with each other ; and they may, and occasionally will, have wars with us ; but, in me iimure oi uawuus uu i there can be no concerted and united action the nature of nations f ..... , , of the various tribes to make hostile mo ye- ments upon the white people. Mr. Chairman, the message of the Presi dent of the United States, and the accompa nyiug communication of his Secretary ati V ar, just received by tins House, and pro posing in effect to give the Cherokee In dians two years longer for removal, meets my reprobation and decided condemnation. It is indiscreet, unwise, and ill-timed ; it is a giving way in the very hour and trial of danger.

Sir, this is a critical juncture among the Cherokees; the flash of one rifle may set that whole frontier in a blaze. This momentous crisis and unfortunate situation of the great mass of the Cherokee people, who have been deluded and deseited by some of their chiefs in this their day of affliction and distress, en titles them to the kind feelings and practical philanthropy of every one whose generous heart throbs for peace on earth and good will toward mankind.
