Excerpt from Speeches on the Passage of the Bill for the Removal of the Indians: Delivered in the Congress of the United States, April and May, 1830

As soon as the Continental Congress began to act as the organ of the United States, (that is, as the organ of. A nation which had just sprung into existence, ) measures were taken to conciliate the favor of the Indians. They were addressed as independent sovereignties. They were entreated to remain neutral. Their territorial rights were guarantied to them and they were dealt with, in all respects, as capable of making treaties and of retaining forever their original rights of territory and government.
