cimeu of Whig tactics, and a fair proof of the end and aim of Whig ambition. They would have power, even if that power be a shadow. They are, to a certain extent, will ing to support a man against whose principles and doctrines they have been contending for months, that they may have the credit of pla cing an administration in power. Whether they would support such an administration of their own making, is a difficult question, and one which it would pitzxlo whig ingenuity of solve. If the whigs who pretend t o support Judge W hite are sincere in that support, they have ( been false in all their previous professions.— ’ Il they arc not sincere the charge of political ■ falsehood yet clings to them, and in neither i case, is their position an enviable one. His claims, it urged by his friends, will he duly • canvased by the democracy of the country, i and if he prove to be their choice, he will be I elected. 15 it no man who aspires to an elec tion to the Presidency need hope for success , if his claims are advocated by the whies. ' There is’nothpig more truly absured than the! attemps made by certain whig politicians to | 'distract and divide the democratic party on the j Presidential question. Their aim, their only j fiode is to bring the election to the House, for 1 they despair of success with the people.— 1 Ihe people will mark this policy* and it will not bo the least of tho drawbacks upon the success of the whig party, (hat they seek to take the election from the people and place it in the House of Representatives. The demo crats of the Union will unite with double strength upon the regularly nominated candi date of the democratic, party, for the puipose of preventing this result. i CREEK INDIANS. This tribe ofj Indians has nor, for several years, had any' claim to lands lying within the charactered j limits of Georgia, but it has continued to oc r.upy lands lying in Alabama, which border ( on the Chattahoochy, and has been a trouble- I «o:ne neighborhood to our thinly settled south j western counties. These Indians are a de- I generate race, having dwindled to numbers,! and lo't the military character exhibited, by i the tribe at Autossee, and Calabee, and the ' Horse-Shoe. But they retain the thirst for ' plunder, so common among savages. Pur ties of them annually take the liberty of cross ing the Chrittahoocbv, and prowling like beasts of prey, through tho thinly settled cuonties of lhe southwest; and their winter is passed in the double occupation, of hunting game in the woods, and stealing tho -horses, cuttle, and hogs, and other property of our citizens.— Not a winter has passed during the last srv t jems, in which the executive of Georgia has not received complaints from our citizens, of the thefts of these vagabond Creeks. About ft year ago the inroads of these freebooters tbecurne very frequent; and the governor, hav ing received many complaints from our citi zens, made a representation of the facts t<» the Federal Government, whose Authority over •he India is, it was hoped, would be strong enough lo put an end to these depredations, and prevent the necessity of resorting to mili tary force for the.r p mishnient. The presi dent iinox'd mlv determined to exert his itdlu cce for this purpose; and 'ho UnH"d A- gent, and the Greek Chiefs’ ,«• i »• under ifie instruction of the Secretary of War, and aided by the presence of a body of United Sate soldiers, were cmploxed to prevent these predatory parties; and at the same time, some ofonr citizens, ueling under the advice and direction of th? governor, exerted extraordi nary activity and energy, hi liuihh u th ■ murainb-rs in the forests m which they lay Concealed, mid driving them out of the state By lheir combined operations, the thinly-set tled counties of the southwest, were relieved I'roiu 'he inroads ol those troublesome intru ders, fur many months. During the present winter, these vagabond Greeks have renewed their depredations; ’and ' lheir parlies have been larger, mid more dur ing and outrageous than at any foitmr time. Several complaints were made to the govern I or, by Individuals, whom they had plundered, : or who had been informed of their outrage.— They were armed, and were emboldened by i their numbers, defend their spoil, and them- | selves, when discovered and pursued. l heir I inroads had become so troublesome and j alarming, that the citizens of Stewart, and l sumo of the a lioining counties, early in the! p eseet month, deemed it proper to send an express to the governor, with informal .on that hovrul skirmishes hid just then taken place, between parties of our citizens and ihe<e mn- ' ruiders, in which several lives were f.t on: both sides. It was difficult to know how to tneet an enetnv, who struck a blow suddenly in a jliiiilv.settled country, mid immediately j Vanished, before lie could b" indentlfied *1 he governor, ever prompt watchful, prudent find determined m guarding the welfare ot ’he Citizens, iimn diatdy. advised the udiabitsnt-. of the exposed counties, tin! l olliK ted then I B uy offi 'era, to bo vigilant in defending ■ A*ir homes their property, and their pers ins ■■umCi'iii of concerned action, and iminedi ■Hß ve' n.ai v assc ml .lie sgu.dol Li- c'cpirh .

But by bis direction tho Secretaiy of War has ordered two companies of United States’ ; troops to Columbus, subject to the order of i the Governor of Georgia, in controling and ! chastising these disorderly Creeks. The Go : verurnent of Georgia, rendering a just respect ito the jurisdiction of'Alabama, has opened a j friendly correspondence on this subject, with the Governor of that state. Throughout! these transactions, the Secretary of War has! yielded a prompt attention to the wishes of; the executive of our state, and the interests of our citizens. From the best and latest information re reived -it this place, it is believed that the marauders have taken the alarm, and have fled out of lhe state’ and are now living quie in Alabama. From the nature of things, the indeiHification of the guilty must lie very dis , ficuli; but the Governor is seeking farther and ; authentic information on this subject Ali j that vigilance and perseverance can accom plish, in detection the gniltv, and inflicting a jiHt and necessary punishment on them, will, he effected by our wise and patriotic Ch.efj Magistrate, who will not withdraw his fixed attention from this important subject, until ou* ! people are better secured against the tnsolen • vexations, and insufferable depredations of these plundering savages.— Fed.

In the first place, this region Ib•- j heve. differs from all other gold countries! known, possessing peculiarities of its own, and i -ueh generally as are not l.od down in books. !

Tim circumstances which induced this LoP rid massacre are stated to us io bo at follows: A week or two since a son of Mrs. Casey Moped with, and married a daughter of King, f rom that time the father and sons swore to take their lives. The residence of the couple was at the Casey house, but, for seine reason, perhaps fear, neither of them were at hone on the night of tha attack. The scene as des cribed to us by a gentleman who entered the house an hour or two after the affair, was hor rid indeed. To siiow the depravity of this fimily of King’s, wec inno' refrain from slating the fact, which m ikes our blood chill, that the mother ol the girl, who eloped with young Casey, vis ited the house on the next day after the mur ders were committed, and, while the victims of their vengeance wer • before her eyes, said, she “should be satisfied, ifshe could but wash her hands in her daughter’s heart’s blood” Monday, 3 o’clock, P. M. Since we wrote the above, a small boat with a rather uncoin m©n lot of passengers approached the wharf and on going to the spot we had the satisfac tion to rind the father and two sons charged with the above murder, safely guatded by High Sheriff Philips, of Duval county. It seems That they had left their horses at Dr. Aldiieh’s ol filiation and passed, the river in a canoe. They had spent the intermediit© time in the vicinity and came back to recross and bring over lheir horses. They were re cogmzed by a young man in the family of the Sherd! and immediately secured without re sistance They will be forwarded, with a guard, to C amden county Georgia, and there await lheir trial. AA'ilii im Rouse was a son in law o’ King.—- I .1? weapons found up m the father and sons were a small brass pocket pistol, loaded with iii iq 11 rter of an inch of lhe end with pow der a ;d three er four balls, besides each being supplied with a good sized knife. It aas a melon holy sight—a father and his two sons accus 'd of murder—md that with the original design of taking the blood of a daughter and sister. The same Cause which leads to the commission of the m >st aggrava ted crimes occasioned this monstrous deed Intemperance.
