Governor Izard To the Secretary of War Arkansas Territory Little Rock-June 18th 1825 The Honorable Secretary of War ,Sir,
" Major E. W. Duval, the Cherokee Agent, passed through this place a week ago and delivered your letter of the 16th April conformably with your Instructions I will open a negotiation with the Cherokee residing within this territory. From what I can learn however, it seems improbable that these Indians will accept the first proposal mentioned by you, of removing entirely beyond the limits of Arkansas”.1
The
discrediting of the Taka-toka delegation was a step
in the direction and process for the permanent separation of the factions; the
ulterior goals between the Jolly, Webber, Rogers party and the territorial and
federal governments of the United States. The complete breakdown, Still
incomplete, Black Fox, George Guess ( Seqouyah )
Thomas Graves, Tassell, Young Glass, Spring Frog,

Cherokee located along the Sabin river; within the
Spanish province, ( modern Texas) and those still residing on the Red River
with Dutch ( Tah-chee ), maintained their power and
influence, at least until the next counter move, the most flagrant of all, was
put into action.
