The President is to have the country survey ed as soon as possible, and to advertise and sell it at public sale ill the same manner, and. on the same terms in all respects as other public lands-the sales to be made as soon as the land can be surveyed. 1t is stipulated that the Chickasaws are to select for themselves, country west of the Mississippi river, aud if possible, 10 move away before the first public sale of their lands.-- Should they be unable to remove be- fore that time, they are permitted tc retain tract land for each. family to live on until they fix upon the place O. their future residence.
