At the cstablislimcnt of the Federal Government, under the present Constitution of the United States, the principle was adopted of considering them as foreign and independent Powers, and also as proprietors of lands. They were, moreover, con- sidered as savages, whom it was our policy and our duty to use our influ- ence in converting to Christianity, and in bringing within the pale of civilization.
As independent Powers, we negotiated with them by treaties ; as pro- prietors, we purchased of th...em all the lands which we could prevail upon [Dec Nc. 2. ] 11 them to sell ; as brethren of the human race, rude and ignorant, we en- deavored to bring them to the knowledged of religion and of letters. The ultimate design was to incorporate in our own institutions tliat portion of them which could be converted to the state of civilization. In the prac- tice of European States, before our Revolution, they had been considered as children to be governed ; as tenants at discretion, to be dispossessed as occasion might require; as hunters, to be indemnified by trifling con- cessions for removal from the grounds from which their game was extir- pated.
