Senate chamber April 24. 1830 Dear Sir, I have sought to comply with your request in procuring for you a copy of the report in the case of [Gales] and [Seaton], but [?] subject has been definitively dispos'd of, and I hope that the [?] [dis]appointment which you will experience will not be great. Your letter requesting requesting me to draw the petition of Mr. [Pinnel] was duly rec'd and the petition accordingly presented. I addressed letters, concerning those which you forwarded to the persons for whom they were designed and two days since recievd affidavits made out in proper form from two of the gentlemen living in Hampton. The proof appears to me to be satisfactory altho' from the lateness of the day at which the claim is [urg'd] I fear that we shall not be able to act definitively upon it this year. What ever can be done however I will cheerfully do. We are debating the Indian question as it is call'd, with the prospect of terminating the discussion to day. Thier removal beyond the Mississippi is call'd for by considerations not only of great public policy, but out of regard to the Indians them selves. Thier extinction is inevitable where they now are. The Constitution has taken much better than I had appre hended. The small counties of my late district go for it by large majorities, all, with the exception of ''little Warwick''. Her course is natural enough. Nothing is more natural that that she should seek to avoid political annihilation.
