DISCOURSE ON THE SURVIVING REMNANT OF THE INDIAN RACE IN THE UNITED STATES. DELIVERED ON THE 24TH OCTOBER, 1836, BEFORE THE SOCIETY FOR COMMEMORATING THE LANDING OF WILLIAM PENN.

Philadelphia: Printed by A. Waldie, 1836. Stitched in original printed wrappers. 38, [2 blanks] pp. Light wrapper wear, minor scattered foxing. Very Good.

Like William Penn, who with "fervour" urged "justice to the original proprietors of this country," America must adopt a "high and conscientious course toward the surviving remnant of the Indian race." Our treatment of them to date brings us "sorrow, shame, and indignation" for the "series of exterminating wars for nearly four centuries, killing, defrauding, and dispossessing them."
Indians were "numerous and powerful," and "happy" until we came along, Our treatment of the Cherokees has been "disgraceful."
