of removing the place of meeting beyond the limit of Georgia was put to vote: Mr. Ross and Mr. Lowry both voted against it, though they could take no part in the debate upon a course which the representatives of the people were bound to decide for themselves. The two chiefs were in the minority. It was settled that the seat of government should be removed beyond the limits of Georgia.
The Principal Chief then addressed the two bodies. He observed that he considered the interest and the permanence of the nation, to be dependent upon their union among themselves. He would not deny that he objected to the course they had concluded on; but as it was their choice, he deemed it his duty to submit. He was therefore ready to meet the representatives of the people wherever it might be their pleasure to convene.
A plain within the Alabama portion of the Cherokee Nation was selected. It was a spot which had been occupied for a Camp Meeting. The rude pulpits & platforms & sheds of rough boards on forked stakes.
