Ry the arrangement, they permitted for a while to plant aud bunt on the lands included within the prescribed boundaries; and still further, % guard against misunderstanding, it was expressly provided that the arrangement should be morely “temporary.” The utmo-t that the indians can elaim, therefore, is,to be considered as tenants at the will of the United States, and liable to te removed whenever the public intery-t: may require. : fing the subject in this lizht, and being anxious to gratify the people o urida, who, in public meetings and through their cxecutige and le- ture, had manifested the mosé earnest desire to the Indians removed, the department employ wuch means as were deemed mo-t just, hamaae, end expedient, to accomplish that object. Tie Indians ‘were notified of the desire of the governmeut of the United States that they should comply with the lations of the treaty of Payne's Landiug, and Genera! Blake was employed to go atnong thea, and to take with him a delegation of the Seminoles who had emigrated westward, to add their testimony and counsels to his in favor of the proposed removal, and ‘thus to effect the desired object be weably. Some reluc- tance having been manifested by ortion of the tribe, and an idea having obtained currency among them that the government of the United States would not insist on their removal, a delegation of the principal chiefs, with their interpreter, were allowed to come on to Washington to confer with the President, and ascertain from him directly what he expected and desired them todo. Upon receivi from him the assurance that they would be require to leave Florida, they acknowledged in writing t obligation to remove, and agreed to use all their in- 7 fluence to induce their people to emigrate @t the earliest possible day. ; ; Acopy of this agreement is appended to this re- , and also copies of the letter of General Blake, and of a letter from the Hon. &.

Under these circumstances, I deem it my duty again to call your atteution to the subject, and to urge the great necessity of adopting prompt measures to compel the removal of this band of cut-throats, who have outraged every feeling of humanity, and whose treachery demands the sternest correction. 1 repeatedly expressed to the Commissioner of In- dian Affuirs, last winter, my conviction that militar force alone could remove them—a matter which their late conduct places beyond all doubt.

It will be seen, by an inspection of those documents, that thé line has ‘been surveyed from the beginning point on the Pacific coast to the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers, and thence up the Gila to its supposed intersection with the western line of | New Mexico. It has also been surveyed from the | initial point established by the commissioners on the Rio Grande, down the course of that stream to a point near Loredo, or about two-thirds of the way | trom El Paso to the mouth of the river. Some pro- gress was also made in the survey of what was sup- posed to be the southern line of New Mexico, co mencing at the intersection of that line and: the Ri Grande, and cstentings westward to the neighbor- hood of the copper mines, a distance of about 150 miles. Operations on that part of the line were sus- » pended near six months ago, in consequence of the proviso to the appropriation bill for 1552; and as orders have been issued by the department not to resume them until the wishes of Congress shall be expressed by further legislation on the subject, it is presumed nothing has been done in continuation of | it. No part of the western line of New Mexico hus | yet been run. | ‘To com pee the work of ascertaining the boundary | between the two countries, it will therefore be neé- | cessary to finish the survey of the Rio Grande; to | continue the line which bus been partially ran from | the Rio Grande to the neighborhood of the copper | mines, or to re-run it entirely, and to run and mark | the western line of New Mexico. | With regard to the second branch of tie resolu- | tion, which is in the following wovds:—* Whether | the commission has expired for the want of a com- te act passed 15th May, 1850, entitled, “An ac to supply deficiencies,” &¢., contains the following Y of rnpning and ma’ United St and the bounda provided thove si oner, surveye Mars per | : been or 1 be performed b; ¢ the time of suck empl d to | that sum.

Five months have elapsed since the close of the last fiscal year, during all which time the ofticers and employees of have been diligently engaged in the dis- | charge of their respective duties, in the full confidence that Congress would make the necessary appropriations to defiay their expenses, and compensate them for their services. This just expectation has been disap. pointed. No part of the appropriation for the eurreat seal year ¢an bo applied to their payment. They are left in the wilderness, many of them two thousand miles from home, witheut any provision haying been made by law for their support, where they are now stationed, and with no means furni-hed to enable them to return to their families. They are now subsisting on funds bor- rowed on their i ual evedit, or raised on drafts drawn by the commi-ioner and surveyor, before notice of the | proviro to the appropristi ral of which have been | nd protested for non-pay calls for prompt action oa and I cannot permit myself to doubt ation to Uhat eXeet will be responded | ent.
