Before closing this article however, desire say that in
my opinion, so far from lis being just ground of compan,
that this Government Is ever has been, foo liberal IN
the allowance Of claims assins. IT, Ii Is now, and has
BEEN Just ground repoach against the Government that
grossly remss in the allowance and payment Of honest
claims Of lis own citizens against it. very much doubt
whether there is another civilized Government the face Of
the EARTH having the ability Of to pay It's debts so ardy
in doing justice its citizens having unlqudaed de-
mands against IL
Is not notorious fact that in the history Of this country
numerous instances have occurred in which citizens having
honest but unqudated demands against the Government
have worn their lives in fuess solicitations without be-
ing able to get their claims eramned by the proper
authorities And in the end when their heirs, perhaps in
the second third degree have been successful In get
ting their claims examined they have been found so clearly
just that the capous could not find objection against
them In the mean ,ime however, in order carry
prosecution extending perhaps through two generations the
claimants have been compelled to pledge the lions share
Of the claim agents and attorneys, whose assistance they
have teen compelled seek in order carry unequal
contest This very Gaphn claim striking illustration.
How does conduct towards the claimant contrast with
that of Great Britain towards claimants Of the case
who adhered her Government in the Of the revolution
| Let
Shortly before the revolutionary certain valuable
lands were ceded by the Indians the Crown Of Great Br
tain trust that the Crown should sell the lands and apply
the proceeds the payment Of certain debts which the In
dams acknowledged themselves Gaphn and other In
dian traders Before the sale Of these lands by the British
vernment the occurred, and resulted in transferring the
title Of these lands from the British Crown Of the States
Of this Union Thus England lost, and acquired, the
only Of which she bound pay these debs
Nevertheless although she had not realized single dollar
the lands ceded to her for the purpose Of paying these
debts she paid every of them, o interest. except Gal
phn and only refused to pay his because he had espoused
the Of America in the Of the revolution. We
therefore got the lands discharged Of every lien which existed
against them while the title in the Crown excep, that of
Galphin.
Ever since that time Gaphn and his representatives have
been demanding, either from the State Of Georgia the Uni
ted States payment of this debt the justice of which hes
been disputed and which would have been long since
paid sc interest. by the British Government had Gaphn
been tory instead Of patriot in the Of the Revelation.
And now, after delay Of three quarters Of century, and
after the heirs Of Gaphn have had to pledge than half
the claim the attorneys who have the matter for
them, its payment with the very Of interest which
England paid claims Of the class and would have
paid this but for the patriotism Of Galphin, is made
mater to excite this great Republic from Its centre TO its cir
cumference. Surely "republics ungra,eful."
