They claim, by their delegation of chiefs at Congress, protection under these existing treaties, and solemnly declare they will not dispose of their lands unless compelled by force.For the purpose of complying with thefaith of treaties and of the nation, the following amendment was proposed to the Indian bill in the Senate “ Provided algovdecteddenthe;alioernorthe'’]Ch(177havthemerthewitianytrpaoftheion ttectinloolpubGerdec!ContheiandsaysoccithetheiUnipor°rigpanjustuseNovselfher'oppingitheand ty arA“ Wways, That until the said tribes shallchoose to remove, as by 'his nGt is contemplated, they slwdl ho pfOf^tgd Ifi their present possessions, and in the enjoymentof all their rights of territory and government as heretofore exercised ami enjoyed, from all interruption and encroachment.”'1*his amendment was voted down and upon its discussion the advocates of the bill arsed the doctrine “ that the United StatesgiamWhin otendhe s of lbcansons fimii food w i t hsparthroithisChecould not constitutionally form such trealies,” and of course the argument a-sumed the broad ground that the fifteen trea- j to ej ties made with the Cherokee Indians, j enjo; sanctioned by every Congress and every j rea-i administration, excepting the present are must all invalid, infringements upon the sov-reignty and the rights of Georgia ; andtherefore this amendment should not pass,stricJndifmamas it would prevent Georgia from en-J exile* [IOSSGreastruncroaching upon the rights and territories* f ihe Indians, should they claim prouctio*under the treaties referred to.
