 their whole nation, the U. S. theiefore agree to convey to

 the same shall be reserved and excepted out of the lands 

 above granted aud a pro rata reduction shall be made in the

 kees, which price it is agreed shall be $500,000.

 be held by the U. .S., but should the U. S. abandon said post 

 aud have no further use for the same, it shall revert to the 

 Cherokee natiou. 



The IJ. S. agree to extinguish for the benefit of the Cherokees 

 the titles to the reservations within their country made iu 

 tiie Osage treatv of 1825 to certain half breeds.
