The fallowing petition wa« read in tke Senate of the United States, on Monday the 13th inilaat, and referred l* Mr. Hillheufe, Mr. Henry, Mr. Mai tin and Mr. Read. To the Honorable the Congress of the United Statet. The memorial and petition of the owners of land in the state of TenHcfTee, that was purchased from the state of North-Carolina, and has fincc keen yielded to the Indians for haotißg ground. Shiwst*, ' That your memorialists obtained certificates to a ' confidetable amount from the state of North-Caro lina for services and supplies they had rendered du ring the war : that the debt of the state being greater, as they conceive, at the end of the war, than the debt of any other state in the Union, con sidering the number ef its inhabi.ants, and the citi zens nearly ruined towards the end of the war, by > the general depredations of foreign and dotnaiic 1 enemies, the Legislature unable to discharge the in- I tereft of the debt opened an office for the file of land, and offered a large tra£l to the public credi- * tors, reserving other lands as hunting grounds for i the Indians. At a time when the whole taxes in > » the state, the civil lift being de lusted, were not b equal to one quarter ef the interest of its debt. v Your memorialists may fay irith conSdence that Ito ' alternative presented itfelf W to take the lands of fer«d them or lefe the debt. To many citizens it appeared necessary to take landu, for they had no- $ thing left them except certificate*, and they hac not t, fortitude to abide what seemed to them inceitllale deftruftion. After our locations had been made and our lands surveyed, a treaty was made with the fn'dians by the commissioners of the United States, e by which our lands were surrendered to the lndi' I' »"s for hunting ground. It might have been ex- ll that the Legislature at their next meeting j wtrnld have restored our certificates, in cafe they ti improperly fold those lands ; but they conceiv- cl ed as we suppose, that their right as explained by their confliiution was indubitable, and they foleron ly resolved to guarantee our titles and 10 give us , lj pofTcffiou of the lands. We are'confident that no 0 deception was intended, bat laws and resolves of the fa , Ante have brought us no re'ief. The General As w fembly at their session in 1789 yielded the sole ju- v; nfdiflion of the Western country to the United States, with an express reservation in favour as your memorialises, of all their rights and claims under the 61 state. From year to year we have patiently expec ted relief ; in the year 1793 we addrefled the Ge- w rieial AfTembly, entreating tha: fucn justice mieht | P * be done us as had been done to other citizens. The i Pi Assembly referred 11s to the Congress, and feflion j br after feffioß has pafTcd away, but Congress has done £ rmthing in our favour. We have again claimed jus- p r tice frona the state, and we are again referred to the Congress. We hope and confide that the honelt ~ claims of citizens will not be eludfd by two legis lative bodies, upon whom no law can operate but the clear law ef justice. During the late w»r, we did not thrinkTrona any danger or calamity to which r w« might be exposed for the public fafety, bm we k! cannot difcover«ny reason why we should be mark > il ed for deftruiSion in the time of ptace ; nor why lic •nc mi! io., of itoulJ fcooi ..-rruin la ., individuals in NortU-Caroliua in order to make a £ saving to the nation. Provifton has been m.tde for a < every other citizens, their claims have be«uVundeJ c ° at zof. in the pound. We are the only prrfoiis to whom justice is refuted, we leceive nothing but una ▼ailing premises. - WhiU we are feekii.g for justice, we do not take Z. the liberty to prescribe the manner in whuh it is to fy be done. We have no direct claim to any thing, °' except the lands that are furveyod and granted to J "' our use, nor are we desirous to exchange thofejandt 77 for other lands, nor for the price at which they were 2Vt fold ui. It was originally considered that we might take up choice trails in a country, wkieh con tained fomr of the best ia ids in America. We fT made our felfftioK at a confideijahle expenfc, and al- ' though those lands should be delivered to us free from Other charges, we are willing to contribute oar portion of one million ef dollars, counting the re- * jnainjng vacant lands, in order tu extinguish the In- dian claim; provided immediate jJoffeffion can be J** obtained. But in cafe our interest should seem to 1 be opposed to the general weal, and the extiisflioH ©t the Indian claim should be delayed, we confide that justice in some form may be rendeied ! us.
