1827, November 30:  ARKANSAS TERRITORIAL PAPERS VOL XX – Page 554 – 555 - EDWARD DuVAL TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR - [NA:OIA,SW Lets. Recd. (Cherokees W.):ALS]

Cherokee Agency ARKANSA, November 30 th 1827.

SIR, The_ Cherokees have selected a deputation from among their principal Chiefs to wait on the President of the U States, for the purpose of making a final adjustment of their unsettled public concerns.  The most material of these relate to the Execution of their Treaty of 1817 72 with the U. States, respecting the quantity &c of Lands to which ~hey are entitled, in this Country, and the difficulties which have arisen between them and the Osages since their Treaty of 1822. – They determine upon this step nearly twelve months ago, but were dissuaded from it by me. It is possible that I might again have induced them to delay it, but for the memorial transmitted to Congress by the Legislature of this Territory, at its late Session, touching their western boundary and their occupancy of and right to a portion of the Tract of Country called "Lovely's purchase." 73-

An apprehension that that memorial and the efforts of the Delegate who may be chosen to represent the Territory would, if acquiesced in by them, during the ensuing session of Congress, lead to the adoption of some measure injuriously effecting their interests, rendered all assurances to the contrary unavailing to keep them at home.-They are alarmed into the belief that nothing less than presenting themselves to the Executive of the Union and imploring justice at his hands and the protection of their rights through his influence, will save for them the possession of the Soil and immunities which they have hitherto supposed were guarantied by Treaty Stipulations. - It is certainly a fact that the Candidates for Congress, in their Circular letters and newspaper publications, make the projected change of the Western boundary of the Cherokees and their
entire removal from this Territory their principal Electioneering Hobbies, especially among the Citizens occupying the upper part of the Country, bordering on their lines.-These Publications, one of which I take the liberty of enclosing to you, 74 have been received and read by the reading part of the Indians and their contents eagerly communicated through the nation, until an impression has been made by them and a natural retrospect and association of the causes of the
recent disturbances with Red people within the limits of Georgia that settled purposes of injustice are here Entertained towards them, the execution of which can be averted only by recalling to the recollection of the authorities of the Government the circumstances and promises by which they were induced to accept their present in Exchange for their former Country.-

In consequence of their having determined to send on this deputation, 76 they desire that no remittances, on account of their annuties, may be made for them, from the Treasury, before its arrival at Washington. Having obtained permission from Governor Izard for the purpose of going there, I shall, I presume, be with it.-

With great respect, I have the honor to be, Sir, Yr: Ob: Servant
E: W: DUVAL

THE HoN: JA 9 BARBOUR, Secy War, Washington City.
