The permanent Capitol in the District of Columbia the Whiskey Rebellion ratification of the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution settlers' seizure of Cherokee lands trading with the Indians are all treated in the First Session. A charge that Kentucky Senator Humphrey Marshall had committed perjury-- arising from a suit brought by James Wilkinson in a Kentucky chancery court-- is examined in detail as are the admission to the Union of Tennessee and aspects of the Yazoo Claims. The Journal of the Second Session prints President Washington's Message "for the last time" to Congress in December 1796 summarizing "measures calculated to ensure a continuance of the friendship of the Indians and to preserve peace along the extent of our interior Frontier" as well as to "guard our advanced settlements from the predatory incursions of those unruly individuals who cannot be restrained by their Tribes." He reports on the implementation of the Treaty with England and on the boundary between the U.S. and the Floridas owned by Spain; urges "the gradual creation of a navy" development of American industry establishment of a National University and a Military Academy.
