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.
