Juiy 81, 1925.
Sir: Your letter Of the seth ofJune,
addressed to major Vandevenier, has
been received, the ans@ err Of which has
been Intentionally delayed I'LL the re-
suit Of General 1aines' interview with
the indians at Broken Arrow, should
bu received, as the President had ahx-
iously hoped in tie acquiesceDce OF The
lnGians to the treaty, 10 have found the
necessity oi replying to your enquiries
entirely obviated. But AS The communi-
cation from Gen. Gaines recent, re-
&c ived has entirely destroyed that
hope, reply has become necessary.
The indians 10 the number OF 1890 IN
Guiding large majority OF their Chiefs
aud head men Of The tribe, hate denoun
ced the treaty, as tainted alike with IN
trigue and treacnery, and as the at of
very small portion Of The tribe against
the express determination OF very
large majority, determination
known to the commissioners. They
tbot to enfoice a compliance with an
instrument thus obtained would illy be-
come either the justice OF the magnani.

they claim to take shelter These are
allegations question hey ond the cog
ni1auce OF the Executive, and neces-
sar,iy refers Itself to Congress, whose
,, attention will be called to II ON an ear
~ day alter the next annual meeting
Meanwhile the President acting on the
treaty as though its validity had not been
impeacned. finds by reference to THE
elshth article OF the treaty the faith OF
the United states solemnIy pledged to
protect the Greek Indians from any en-.
croaciiment till their removal in sep.
TENDER, 1886. He therefore decide,
that the entering upon and surveying
their lands before that period, would be
sn iniraction OF the treaty, whose inter.
probation and execution, should it re,
main uncancelled, are alike confided te
him. ! am therefore directed by tbs
President to state distinctly to your Ex'
celiency, that, for the present, he viii
not permit such entry or survey TO be
made.
The pain the President has felt In
coming 10 ii is decision is diminished BY
the Recollection that it interferes witt
no duty imposed on your ExceIlency BY
the laws Of Georgia, as a discretion j.
given you by the late law of the Legis.
iat,re in prescribing the time when the
lands embraced by the treaty shall be
surveyed. Under all the circumstances
the President permits himself TO hope
that you viii acqniesce in his decision
As Gen. Gaines ha. been in communica.
ton with you on.this subject, and as il
is the wish of the president you should
be in possession of every measure he
may find himself constrained to take

FELLOW CITIZENS F.:

FELLOW CITIZENS:
Though an article of the constitution
o! this society had made it the duty of
the committee to point out some part.
cuiar person, to address you on this &C.
casion; yet, considering that the society
is young, and scarcely entered upon the
duties for which it was formed, and that
the future prosperity and usefulness of
the society, depended very much on its
first movements it was thought best
that the committee, as such, should ad-
dress you at this time.
The philanthropy Of the present age
IS truly astonishing. There is scarcely
any part of the civilized world, in which
there cannot be found, either humane
societies, or individuals, who are labor
ing to do good. Much good has been
done by combinations Of men; both in
the suppression Of vice, and the spread
ing of useful knowledge; and there is
much yet to be done; the work of re-
formation is only commencing. The
sun OF hat glorious day, which we are
encouraged to expect from scripture
prophecy, is but jus, beginning to cas-. a
few beams of light above the horizon.
And though it is God, who must perfect
this latter day of Glory, yet .s ne gene
rally works by instruments, we have
good reason to conclude, tina, it will be
effected by the exertions Of the benevo.
