Whereas the Cherokees are anxious to make some arrangements
with the Government of the United States whereby the diffi
culties they have experienced by a residence within the settled
parts of the United States under the jurisdiction and laws of
the State Governments may be terminated and adjusted; and
with a view to reuniting their people in one body and securing
a permanent home for themselves and their posterity in the
country selected by their forefathers without the territorial
limits of the State sovereignties, and where they can establish
and enjoy a government of their choice and perpetuate such
a state of society as may be most consonant with their views
habits and condition; and as may tend to their individual
comfort and their advancement in civilization.
And whereas a delegation of the Cherokee nation composed of
Messrs. John Ross Richard Taylor Danl. McCoy Samuel

of February 1835 stipulate and agree with the Government
of the United States to submit to the Senate to fix the amount
which should be allowed the Cherokees for their claims and
for a cession of their lands east of the Mississippi river and did

final determination

sum not exceeding five millions of dollars be paid to the Che-
rokee Indians for all their lands and possessions east of the
Mississippi river"

And whereas this delegation after said award of the Senate had

disposition to be arranged in a treaty which they refused to

nation and there in general council to deliberate and deter-
mine on the subject in order to ensure harmony and good
feeling among themselves"
