The Act of the 7th of August, 1789, enjoins on the Secretary of War to execute such duties relative to Indian Affairs as may be confided to him; and, under this authority, he superintends the negotiation of Indian Treaties, and other matters connected with Indian Agencies and Trade, which from the necessary association between the subjection and civilization of the aborigines, within the territorial limits of the United States, intermingle themselves with the Military Establishment The Act of March 2d, 1811, regulating the trade with Indian Tribes being limited in its duration, to the 3d of June, 1822, and not renewed at the first session of the seventeenth Congress, of course expired. At that session, however, another law, bearing date, May 6th, 1822, was passed which made an entire change in the system. By that law the President was required to cause the Indian trading houses to be closed, and the accounts to be settled. By another law of the same date, private traders with the Indians are permitted. They receive licences for seven years to trade with remote Indians, and two years with others. Citizens only can obtain licences. The President may cause the stores and packages of goods of the traders to be searched, for ardent spirits, &c. and if any ardent spirits are found, the goods are forfeited. This act also authorizes the President to appoint a Superintendent of Indian Affairs, to reside at St. Louis, with a salary of fifteen hundred dollars per annum; and an Agent for the Tribes in East and West Florida, also with an annual salary of fifteen hundred dollars.
