In ASSEMBLY of VIRGINIA.
An aft to take away the property of the Indiana pro

ginia-..,
In Assembly, Williamfburgh, June 17, 1779.
TO remove and prevent all doubts concerning pur
-1 chafes of lands from the Indian Natives,— Be it
declared by the General Assembly, That this com
monwealth hath the exclusive right of pre-emption
from the Indians of all lands within the limits of it#
own chartered territory, or defcrib'ed by the aft and
conflitution of government in the year 1776. That
no perlon or persons whatsoever have, or ever had, a
right to purchase any lands within the fame from any;
Indian Nation, except only persons duly authorjfed
to make such purchases on the public account former
ly for the use and benefit of the colony and lately of
the commonwealth'; and that such exclusive right of
pre-emption will and ought to be maintained by this
commonwealth to the utmost of its power.
And be it farther declared and enacted, That every
purchase of lands heretofore made by or on behalf of
the Crown of England, or of Great- Britain, from any
Indian Nation'or Nations, within the before mention
ed limits, dotliand ought to enure forever to and for
the use and benefit of the commonwealth, and to and
for no other use or purpose whatsoever ; and that all
sales and deeds which have been op shall be made by
any Indian or Indians, or by any Indian Nation or
Nations, for lands within the said limits, to or for the
separate use of any person or persons whatever, shall
be and the fame are hereby declared, utterly void and
of no effed.

Raffed, E. RANDOLPH, C. H. D.
The Remonstrance of the General Assembly of Virgi
nia, to the Delegates of the United American States
in Congress assembled.
frHE general assembly of Virginia, ever attentive
1 to t e recommendations of Congress, and desi
rous to give the great council of the United States eve
ry fati faction in their power, confident with the rights
and conflitution of their own commonwealth, have
enabled a law to prevent present settlements on the
north weft fide* of the river Ohio, and will, on all oc
casions, endeavour to mahifeft their attachment to the
common intfreft of America, and their earned wishes
to remove every cause of jealousy, and promote that
mutual confidence and harmony between the different
dates so essential to their true interest and fafety.
Strongly impressed with these fentimepts, the general
assembly of Virginia cannot avoid expressing their fur
prize and concern upon the information, that Con
gress had received and countenanced petitions from cer
tain persons diling themfclves the Vandalia and Indi
ana Companies, asserting claims to lands in defiance
of the civil authority, jurifdidion and laws of this
commonwealth, and offering to ered a separate go
vernment within the territory thereof. Should Con
gress assume a jurifdi&ion, and arrogate to themselves
a rigut of jurifdißion, not only unwarranted by, but
expressly contrary to, the fundamental principles of
the confederation, fu perceding or condoling the in
ternal policy, civil dipulations and municipal laws of
this or any other state, it would be a violation of the
publick faith, introduce a most dangerous precedent,
which might hereafter be urged to deprive of territory
and subvert the sovereignty and government of any
one or more of the United States, and establish in Con
gress a power which, in process of time, must degene
rate into an intolerable despotism.
It is notorious that the Vandalia and Indiana Com
panies are not the only elaimers of large trads of land
under titles repugnant to our laws ; that several men
of great influence in feme of the neighbouring slates
are concerned, in partnership with the Earl of Dun
more and other fubje&s of the British King, who, un
der purchases from the Indians, claim extensive trails
of country between the Ohio and Miffifippi rivers, and
that proportions have been made to Congress, evident
ly calculated to lecure and guarantee such purchases :
so that, un'er colour of creating aco ninon fund, had
these prop fitions been adopted, the public would have
been duped by the ffls of individuals, and ^reat part
of the value of unappropriated lands, converted to
private purposes. C ngrefs have lately deferjbed and
afeertained the boundaries of these United States, as
an ultimatum in their Terms of Peace.
The United States hold no territory but in right of
some one indiviiual state in the union:
The territory of each state, from time immemorial,
hath been fixed and determined by their refpeaive
* These lands Virginia dare not attempt to fettle, for
they belong to Indian Nations by treaty.
