MIR Bell continued his remarks, commenced yester
day and referred again TO the fact that The conngehc
upon which had been proposed To Keep an army IN lh
South Of 5000 longer existed at least IN part
He would go into strict examination OF The treaty VIII
The Cberokees He considered that the policy OF reno
val had been long established and he had thought Tia
the treaty was favorable Tor the Cherokees. Whethe
it had been fairly raudnently made whe'her u wa
true that John Ross honest patriot or Kna'r
wos matter that he did not intend to decide. lie sill
thought it late 10 reccde from the policy OF removal
as necessary for people, and best Tor Inc lnons
and he thought Incompatible with The interest OF III
whites that the Indians should found an independent
| Government within The limits of the States. NO man
he said would be reoiced than he, TO know tina
the Cherokees prosperous, fourshng, and clVi
zed people. He should rejoice in their prosperity; bu
| he ,houpht John Ross, whether honest or otherwise
| mistaken in his policy. He considered the remora
westward necessary and expeden for the Indians them
| selves, and had never blamed the Georglans for tn
| course they had taken The United States were boun
| 10 remove the Cherokecs soon as they could; an
when the Indians proposed To set down permanently
with an independent form Of Government 1t was tim
| for Georgia to speak, or never .
MIR. & then went into examination of details will
