APPENDIX.

1t has been repeatedly said, that "if the In
dians had been left 10 the exercise of their own
judgment, they would have consented to have
sold their lands in this state; but the interested
white men opposed 10 their removal, have in
fuenced them TO reject the liberal offer Of the
government"
This allegation is without foundation; the In
dians know their interest very well: they ask
no questions, whether it is best for them to sell
out and remove; they know that the moment
they leave these premises, then will troubles
commences poverty, oppression, destruction,
and perhaps war and boodshed, will fall upon
them at the western wilderness.
The policy of the general government is well
understood by them, and the country assigned
them west has been explored again and again,
SO that they do not lack knowledge in these
respects With all the light and information on
the subject which is necessary TO form correct
judgment upon it, they have hundred times
repeated, in open council, and in the presence
of the United States commissioner, that they
cannot and will not sell out their lands and re-
move beyond the Mississippi river. These are
the honest Judgments of the Indians, and this
answer viii The commissioner receive from the
honest chiels.
But while persualions and lawful inducements
have been held out 10 them, and they fail to pro-
duce the desired effect, the ogden Company"
through their agents, lose no time in buying
over The chiefs TO aid in procuring the treaty.
Rewards have been made to promote it, and to
induce our nation to consent to it. In the state
ments which follow, | shall confine myself prn-

Other evidences Of improvement we hare in
the increase Of industry, and consequent ad-
vance in dress, furniture, and all the comforts
and conyeuiences of civilized life The fields
of the Indians have never been kept in so good
order, and managed with so much industry, as
for the few years past. At public meetings and
other large assemblies. the Indians appear COM
foriably and decenty, and some of them richly
clad The population is increasing gradually,
except when visited with epidemics. The in
crease of general information is visible; there
are many of them who keep themselves well
informed of what is going on in the country; sew
.era newspapers have been taken from the cities
of Washington, d. c., Phiiade phia. New York.
and other cities in the Union, and Two Or three
copies of the Genesee Farmer Some young
men have choice selection Of books and libra

rapid rate, ercept rhea t6ey are distracted with

whether or not the undertaking is feasible TO

hoU can this undertaking be carried into ope-
ration most advaatageously for securing It's u

Can it be by remaining where we now are
located. or by selling our lands and removing TO

right and possession Of our lands is undispused
so with us il is question appealing directly
10 our interest; and how stands the matter in re,

And every chain, and serpent coil,
Before thy silken folds shall flee,
