ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _June 21, 1834_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:
The afflicting intelligence of the death of the illustrious Lafayette
has been received by me this morning.
I have issued the general order inclosed[7] to cause appropriate honors
to be paid by the Army and Navy to the memory of one so highly venerated
and beloved by my countrymen, and whom Providence has been pleased to
remove so unexpectedly from the agitating scenes of life.
ANDREW JACKSON.
[Footnote 7: See under Executive Orders, pp. 94-95.]
JUNE 23, 1834.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I transmit for the consideration and action of the Senate a treaty
concluded with the Cherokees for the cession of their lands east of the
Mississippi River.
It is known to the Senate that for some years great difficulties have
been experienced in the relations of that tribe. Without further
allusion to these than as they furnish strong inducements to a final
settlement of all the questions involved in our intercourse with these
Indians, it is obvious from the existing state of things that they
can not continue in their present position with any hope of ultimate
prosperity.
