To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Wirt, in the same commuiiicaiion, assures the President that the price allowed for a slave was Iwo nr three times his real value Yet, after paying for all the slaves that could be shown to have left their masters, at tin'> or three limes their real value, together with other property taken or destroyed by the Seminoles prior to 1805, it was found that the whole amounted to but $101, 000, leaving in the hands of Government !j;I19, 000 belonging to the Indians. This money, however, was not re...turned to the In- dians, but was retained by Government until 1831. When the owners of fugitive slaves peti- tionedCongrcss thalit might be divided among them. Thi's petition was referred to the Com- mittee on Indian AfiTairs, and the chairman, an honorable mendier from Georgia, (Mr. Gilmer. ) reported in favor of dividing the money among the owners of fugitive slaves, as a compensation for the offspring: which the slaies would have borne had they remain- ed in hondai^c. This plan, which I think sets at perfect defiance all Yankee calcu- lations, was rejected by Congress.
