eote-harjo, Fos-ha[r]-jo, John F. Brown.

Whereas existing treaties between the United States and the Seminole
nation are insufficient to meet their mutual necessities; and whereas the
Seminole nation made a treaty with the so-called confederate states,
August 1st, 1861, whereby they threw off their allegiance to the United
States, and unsettled their treaty relations with the United States, and
thereby incurred the liability of forfeiture of all lands and other property
held by grant or gift of the United States ; and whereas a treaty of peace
and amity was entered into between the United States and the Seminole
and other tribes at Fort Smith, September 10, 1865, whereby the Semi-
noles revoked, cancelled, and repudiated the said treaty with the so-called
confederate states ; and whereas the United States, through its commis-
sioners, in said treaty of peace, promised to enter into treaty with the
Seminole nation to arrange and settle all questions relating to and grow-
ing out of said treaty with the so-called confederate states; and whereas
the United States, in view of said treaty of the Seminole nation with the
enemies of the government of the United States, and the consequent ha-
blitie of said Seminole nation, and in view of its urgent necessities for
more lands in the Indian territory, requires a cession by said Seminole
nation of a part of its present reservation, and is willing to pay therefor a
reasonable price, while at the same time providing new and adequate
lands for them.
Now, therefore, the United States, by its commissioners aforesaid, and
the above-named delegates of the Seminole nation, the day and year
above written, mutually stipulate and agree, on behalf of the respective
parties, as follows, to wit: -
ARTICLE I. There shall be perpetual peace between the United Peace ana
States and the Seminole nation, and the Seminoles agree to be and re- feidstnp.
main firm allies of the United States, and always faithfully aid the gov-
ernment thereof to suppress insurrection and put down its enemies.

persons of African descent and blood, who have no interest or property in

States all benefits and advantages enjoyed by them in lands, annuities,
protection, and immunities, including their lands and other property
held by grant or gift from the United States; and whereas in view of
said liabilities the United States require of the Creeks a portion of
their land whereon to settle other Indians; and whereas a treaty of

Creeks and other tribes at Fort Smith, September tenth, eighteen hun-
dred and sixty-five, whereby the Creeks revoked, cancelled, and repu-

have been allowed to extend our railroad system far into the interior recesses

foreign seas.
These great national blessings demand a national acknowledgment.

hereby recommend that Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November next, be
set apart and be observed everywhere in the several States and Territories of the

His people the blessingof peace."

the cipasts of Suwo and Nagato pending the then contemplated hostilities
between the Tycoon of Japan and the Daimio of the said provinces:
And whereas authentic information having been received by the said
