As connected with the subject of this inquiry, I beg leave to refer to the accompanying letter from the Secretary of War, inclosing the orders which proceeded from that Department, and a letter from the governor of Georgia.

ANDREW JACKSON.

Washington, February 26, 1831.
To the Senate of the United States: 

The inclosed report[11] of the Secretary of War is herewith inclosed in answer to the resolution of the Senate of yesterday’s date.

ANDREW JACKSON.

[Footnote 11:  Relative to the expenditure of appropriations for improving the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.]

To the Senate of the United States: 

I present for the consideration of the Senate articles of agreement entered into and concluded by commissioners duly appointed on the part of the United States and the chiefs of the Menominee tribe of Indians at Green Bay.  Various attempts were made to reconcile the conflicting interests of the New York Indians, but without success, as will appear by the report made by the Secretary of War.  No stipulation in their favor could be introduced into the agreement without the consent of the Menominees, and that consent could not be obtained to any greater extent than the articles show.

Congress only is competent now to adjust and arrange these differences and satisfy the demands of the New York Indians.  The whole matter is respectfully submitted.

ANDREW JACKSON.
February 28, 1831.

To the Senate of the United States: 

I submit to the consideration of the Senate of the United States articles of agreement and convention concluded this day between the United States, by a commissioner duly authorized, and the Seneca tribe of Indians resident in the State of Ohio.

ANDREW JACKSON.
February 28, 1831.

February 28, 1831. The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States: 

I lay before the House of Representatives a treaty recently concluded with the Choctaw tribe of Indians, that provision may be made for carrying the same into effect agreeably to the estimate heretofore presented by the Secretary of War to the Committee of Ways and Means.  It is a printed copy as it passed the Senate, no amendment having been made except to strike out the preamble.  I also communicate a letter from the Secretary of War on this subject.

ANDREW JACKSON.

March 1, 1831. To the Senate of the United States: 

I transmit herewith, for the use of the Senate, printed copies of the treaties which have been lately ratified between the United States and the Choctaw Indians and between the United States and the confederated tribes of the Sacs and Foxes and other tribes.

ANDREW JACKSON.

(The same message was sent to the House of Representatives.)
