Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. James Graham, of North Carolina: On the Bill Making an Appropriation to Prevent and Suppress Indian Hostilities, Delivered in the House of Representatives Mr. Chairman: The bill now under discussion proposes to appropriate money to prevent and suppress Indian hostilities. This appropriation is asked, not to declare war against the Cherokee Indians, but to prevent and suppress a protracted and bloody war by them upon the white settlements in North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. This object meets my decided approbation. The volunteers and militia now called by the Government into public service for this pacific purpose must be supported and paid. A small portion of the Cherokee country laps on the southwestern part of North Carolina, and lies within the limits of the congressional district which I have the honor to represent on this floor. I have no hostile feelings to the Cherokee Indians; my constituents and my State have no unkind feelings to them. Since the treaty of Hopewell, in the year 1785, down to this day, the State of North Carolina has uniformly acted with justice and generosity towards those Indians; and my constituents have respected their rights, and dwelt in amicable relations on their frontier borders. The treaties of 1817 and 1819, granting reservations of land to certain resident Indians, were productive of much confusion and some litigation in North Carolina; still the Indians and their council were always well satisfied with the decisions of our courts; for justice is ably and impartially administered in North Carolina to all classes and to all colors.
