for certain reasons expressed by The President of
the United States, he would call the attention OF
Congress, their first meeting 10 the validity OF
the Treaty negotiated at the Indian Springs, IN
1925; and in his message TO the Congress at the
opening OF the session, after announcing that the
Treaty had been ratified under the unsuspec,ing
impression that it had been negotiated in good
faith, he promised TO lay before that body the
subsequent transactions IN relation to il. The
President failed TO do so--Toward the close OF
the session Of Congress he did submit to the Sc

annoncisIion Of the esiIeni to Congress, that the
Legislature Of Georgia, at The close Of is session
again reviewed and again confirmed the validity of
the Treaty OF The Indian Springs. This confrma.
ton was the more imposing, because the Legisla
ture which hrst acknowledged the authority Of that
Treaty bad returned to the people, its conduct had
been passed in review, and Of course a favorable
verdict pronounced upon it. The act of the Lee
