Arkansas intelligencer., 1844-10-19

0J-Advices have been received in our town.
that the Commissioners for the adjudication of
Spoliation and Reservation claims under the 18th
article of the treaty of 1885, will arrive in the
Cherokee country about the first of November
They will be accompanied by sundry lawyers who
will engage in the prosecution of claims. We
would advise red neighbors to brighten up their
memories and be prepared to prore wrongs.
We learn from the same source that the COM
missioners to enquire into the practicabirty Of
settling tho complaints Of the Western Cherokees
and Treaty party, by division or pavilion of the
country, will arrive about the same time. The
right of the Government thus to adjust boundaries
is bnsed upon the hypothesis, that the country was
ceded to the Western Cherokees and voluntary
emigrants under the treaty of 1928; and that
consequently, those who received tn cession have
right to re.adjust the boundaries with the grants
ers. The argument is plausible, but We see many
difficulties in the way.
