What has since made that fimd so liable? No subsequent treaty, nor other act of the Cherokees ; nor can any other reason be assigned, but that this appropriation was found insulTicient, and was made so by the improvident contracts as it is alleged of the Government of the United Slates. Wliat was the duty of the Government in the disbursement of this appropriation of $1, 047, 067? \\hy, clearly, to use it first for the re- moval of the Cherokees economically and prudently, and appropriate the b...alance, if any, to the payment of the other classes of claims speci- fied in the treaty ; and if insufficient to pay them, to divide it pro rata. But there was no more right to take the funds of the indigent portion of the Cherokees, who hud nothing but their interest in the lands, than to take any other funds in possession of the Government. Instead of di- viding the money approjjriated for tlie treaty of 1S35 per capita, as it is expressly stipulated in the 12ih article, it lias been exhausted in paying claims for which it was not liable, and out of five millions less than 100, 000 dollars only remain to be distributed.
