January 27, 1802. Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: I lay before you the accounts of our Indian trading houses, as rendered up to the ist day of Januarj^ 1801, with a report of the Secretary of War thereon, explaining the effects and the situation of that commerce and the reasons in favor of its further extension. But it is believed that the act authorizing this trade expired so long ago as the 5d of March, 1799. Its revival, therefore, as well as its extension, is su...bmitted to the consid- eration of the Legislattu-e. The act regulating trade and intercoiurse with the Indian tribes will also expire on the 3d day of March next. While on the subject of its continuance it will be worthy the consideration of the Legislature whether the provisions of the law inflicting on Indians, in certain cases, the punish- ment of death by hanging might not permit its commutation into death by military execution, the form of the punishment in the former way being peculiarly repugnant to their ideas and increasing the obstacles to the surrender of the criminal.
