cd for the Of the Senate
.Iooemder mir FLOYD from the joint committee
on the State OF The Republic, TO whom referred so
much oil the Governors Message relates 10 the Che
roSee government, made the following REPORT:
ne P'opriey oil ehectinS entire abolition Of the
exercise Oh governmental powers by the Cherokee In
aiahS, your conmitte consider settled. The State
by an act OF her legislature, has extended her laws
boh civ and criminal the territory and persons
OF salh Nation Unfortunately, and thereby virtually
aoohShou all governn mt over such territory, her
own; and any further Legislation having for IFS object
the prevention OF the exercise of sovereign power by
We INDIANS, would have been rendered by such act I'M
necessary, had any sufficient pains and penalties been
annexed to the enforcement of Indian laws or regul,
ations. Those who claim the right of managing IN.
ia
omission on the part OF the Legislature and continue TO
assemble IN Council from time time the p,tpose Of
making new laws and enforcing them and others alrea
uy adopted or said tribe has rendered it necessary in
the opinion OF your committee, enact such laws az
VIII prevent IN future, the exercise of such assumed
Po"eTS' Inc Government OF Georgia or the Cherokee
Naon alone has the undoubted right of jurisdiction o.
yer the territory and persons of said within the
chartered imI's oil Georgia Both cannot possess it,
And II such co-equal right could exist, the exercise of
such right ny both powers, would he cruelty i'm the
trene to the Indian. What would be required bv Tho
one sunpry, might be rendered highly penal by the
e'ner; me same act being declared criminal by both
would inict severe punishments twice for the same Of
ience-a state OF things not to be desired by any ci,iliz
ca community. Such, however, is now the situation
