As an argument had been transmitted in favor of the chiefs receiving the whole appropriation, and to the exclusion of the individuals of the tribe, and particularly of those re- maining in the States east, I was permitted to prepare an argument in their favor, which I submitted, after having it printed, on the 22d of March, 1851. After replying to the sophistry of the argument of the counsel of the Western chiefs, I closed witli a reference to both portions of the tribe, that contains some hist...orical facts, which, as you are probably unacquainted with them, have been quoted for ^^our information. In speaking of the condition of the North Carolina Cher- okees, and the country occupied by them, it is stated — " That country is endeared to those Indians by llie graves and sacred relics of their ancestors; the bones of their cliildren, sisters, brotliers, ' fathers, and mothers, lie there; they say, ' VVe cannot leave them ; let us ' alone in the land of our fathers.
