port OF the Committee Indian Affairs, of the
9TH OF February last, on the eXpediency of Provid

follows:
Your committee, however, entertain the opin-
ioD' that 1t is entirely competent for the President
oil the United States 10 allow, and cause to be paid
any and all such claims intended to be provided for
IN said treaty. if, indeed, any such exist, which
nave not been already adjusted and paid. The
president is the tribunal to which the citizens of
Georgia have expressly agreed their claims should
De referred, and whose decision, they have also
agreed, should be final and conclusive. The COM
mittee have no official information of any decision
which may have been made. upon any of those
claims which in their opinion, calls for the inter
ventlon OF Congress; and believing that the Pres-
dent has poWer,to liquidate and adjust any which
ought to be paid, deem, it ine1pedient to iegisate
upon the subject, and the committee therefore ask
to be discharged fom the further consideration of
the subject"
