 In the case Of E. c. Boudinot, one of the dele gates from Washington county, against whose right to d seat in this convention it is alleged tha | he is Cherokee Indian, not duly naturalized, anC 1 therefore not entitled to citizenship, your com mttcc are clearly of the opinion that. if the ale eaton WIS fully proved, it would be duty to re commend that said Boudinot be excluded from seat in the convention. The supreme court of tn, United States in the Drcd Scott case, decided tina Indians occupy the position Europeans and other foreigners, Q far citizenship Is con l cerned. They must be naturalizcd under authority of Congress. The constitution of Arkansas, il article 1, sec. provides that none but free whit male citizens shall be entitled to vote. 1 But the allegation as to said Boudinot is no fully proved Therefore, in spirit of fairnes: and liberl!ity, and from respect to Washington 1 county, whose delegate he is, your committee re commend that E. C. Boudinot be admitted to seat ill this convention.
