the Confederate States and the Cherokee
And you cannot but be too well informed
on the subject to make it necessary for
me to recapitulate the reasons and cir
cumstances under which it was done.
Thus the destiny of the people became
identified with that of the Southern Con-
federacy. There is no nation of Indians.

Allow me to further appeal to the his

TO sustain the assertion that my policy
has ever been to preserve peace and good
feelings among my people. and the OBJ
servance of law and order.
The horrors of civil war, with which
this beautiful country is threatened. are
greatly TO be deprecated, and | trust
that it may be averted by the observance
of the strict principles of civilized and
honorable warfare by the army now in

stances, entertain the proposition for an
