Excerpt from Message From the President of the United States, Transmitting Certain Papers Relating to the Compact Between the U. States and the State of Georgia of 1802, &C: April 2, 1824

I transmit to Congress certain papers enumerated in a report from the Secretary of War, relating to the compact between the United States and the state of Georgia, entered into in 1802, where by the latter ceded to the former a portion of the territory then within its limits, on the conditions therein specified. By the 4th ar ticle of that compact, it was stipulated that the United States should, at their own expense, extinguish, for the use of Georgia, the Indian title to all the lands within the state, as soon as it might be done peaceably and on reasonable conditions. These papers shew the measures adopted by the Executive of the United States, in fulfil ment of the several conditions of the compact, from its date to the present time, and particularly the negotiations and treaties with the Indian tribes for the extinguishment of their title, with an estimate of the number of acres purchased, and sums paid for the lands they acquired. They show, also, the state in which this interesting con cern now rests with the Cherokees, one of the tribes Within the state, and the inability of the Executive to make any further movement with this tribe, without the special sanction of Congress.
