anxious solicitude. 1t was recon-
mended to the first Congress by Gen
Washington,and has frequently been
brought to your notice, and recently
its importance strongly urged by my
Immediate predecessor. The provi-
sions in the Constitution that renders
it necessary to adopt uniform sys-
tenn of organization for the militia
throughout the U. S., presents an in-
surmountable obstacle to an efficient
arrangementby the classification here
tofore proposed, and ! invite your at.
tention to the plan which will be sub.
mitted by the Secretary Of Wsr, for
the organization of volunteer corps.
and the instruction of militia officers
as more simple and practicable, ifnot
equally advantageous as a general a.
Irangement Of the whole militia of the
U. States, ",@. IA, g.s.
The system OF removing the lndl-
ans west of the Mississippi, common
Iced by Mr., Jefferson in 1904, has
been steadily persevered in by eve
ny succeeding President, and may be
considered the settled policy Of the
country. Unconnected at first with
any well defined system for their inn
'provcmect, the inducement held out
to the Indians were confined to the
greater abundance of game to be
found in the West: but when the be-
lnefcial effects oftheir removal were
made apparent, a more phi!anthropic
and enlightened policy was adopted
in purchasing their lands cas-, Of the
Mississippi. Liberal prices were gi-
ven, and provisions inserted in all
the treaties with them, for the appli-
cation IF the funds they received in
exchange, to such purposes as were
best calculated to promote their pre-
sent welfare, and advance, their flu
lure civilization. These measures
have been attended thus far with the
happiest results.
1t will be seen, by referring to the
report of the Commissioner Of Indi-
AN Affairs that the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the friends and promo
tiers of this system have been realiz-
led. The Choctaws, Cherokees. and
other tribes that first emigrated be-
yond the Mississippi, have. for the
most part abandoned the hunter state
and become cu'tivators of the soil.
The improvement in their condition
has been ra[id, and it is believed
that they are now fitted to enjoy the
advantages of a simple form of gov
ernment, which has been submitted
to them and received their sanction;
and l cannot too strongly urge this
subject upon the attention Of Com
gress.
Stipulations have been made with
all the Indian tribes to remove them
beyond the Mississippi except with the
tand ofthe Wyandotts the six Nations
in Nav York the Menomoneas Man
dams and Stockbridges in Wisconsin,
aud Miamies in Indiana. With all
but the Meromoneesitis expcctedthat
for their emigration
will be completed the present year.
The resistance which has been OPP
posed to their removal by some oftha
tribes, even after treaties had been
made with them to that effect has ari-
sen from various causes operating

For.his encroachment on the rights of

the fact that they dispossess nobody
and only enter upon the waste do
main, that they give additional! val

i.y and their intention ultimately to
pay the Government price. So
much weight has from time to time
been attached to these considerations
thai Congress have passed laws CIV
ing actual settlers on the public lands
Alright ofprc-emption to the tractso c-
cupied bythem at the minimum price.
The laws have in all instances been
retrospective. in their operations; in
a few yearsaftertheir passage crowds
ofnew settlershave been found on the
public lands for similar reasons and
under like expectations who have
been INDUCED with the same privil-
eses. This course Of legislation
tends to impair public respect for the
laws of the country. Either the laws

wing all plausible grounds forthese in

ready suggested?-A short period Of
industry and economy in any part Of
our country would enable the poorest
citizen to accumulate the means to buy
him a home at the lowest prices and
leave without apology for settling on
lands not his own. If he did not I'M
der such circumstances he would en-
list no sympathy in his favor; and
the laws would be readily executed
without doing violence to public O.
|pinion. 4aie af1
A large portion Of our citizens
have seated themselves OH the public
lands, without authority, since the
passage of the last pre-emp'ion law,
and now ask the enactment Of ano-
Their to enable them to retainGthe lands
occupied, upon payment of the min
UNI Government price. They ask
that which has been repeatedly gran
ted before. 1.-THE future may bejud-
ged ofby the past, little harm can be
done to the interest Of the Treasury
by yielding to their request. Upon
a critical examination, it is found that
the lands sold at the public sales,
the introduction of cash payments in
1920, have produced, on an average,
the nett revenue Of only six cents an
acre more than the minimum Govern
ment price. There is no reason to
suppose that the future will be more
productive. The Government, there
fore, has no adequate pecuniary in
tcrest to induce it to drive These peo-
pie from the lands they occupy, for
the purpose ofselling them to others.
Entertaining these views, | recon-
mend the passage Of a presumption
law for their benefit, in connection
with the preparatory steps towards
the graduation of the price Of public
lands, and further and more effectual
provisions to prevent intrusions here
after. Indulgence to those who have
sesteIled on these lands with expecta-
tons that past legislation would be
made a rule for the future, and at
the same time removing the most
plausible ground on which lntrusions
are excused, and adopting more eth.
Gle mt means to prevent them hereat-
ter, appear to me the most judicious
disposition which be made Of this
difficult subject. The Limitation and
restrictions to guard against abuses
in the executionof a presumption law,
will necessarily attract the careful at
tention Of Congress; but under no
circumstances is j, considered expe-I
dent to authorize floating claims in
any shape. They have been hereto
| fore, and doubtless would be hereaf-
ter, most prolific sources Of fraud and
oppression, and instead of operating
to confer the the favor ofthe Gov
eminent on industrious settlers, are
often used only to minister to a spirit
Of cupidity at the expence OF the most
meritorious of that class. 4
