The Oenoial seen becomes a little more
explicit, when lie says “ there is in Georgia a
urn all class of men who, like the “ Holy
Alliance," profess to employ themselves in
the laudable work of enlightening and go
verning all other classes of the community,
hut whoso labors consist of vain nnd dating

he found only with the party to which them
selves respectively belong, and thatull others
go wrong." Party, Sir—An agent repre
senting the government of the United States
before the government of Georgia, addres
sing to the chief magistrate of the state an
official paper in which, descanting on the
state of parties, the writer places himselfby
the side of the one party, and fulminates a
denunciation against the other. Pray, sir,
suffer me to ask if Mnj. Gi n. Gaines receiv
ed special instructions at your hands so to
deport himself, to pry into tb ? state of par
ties, to find out the relative stjeiigth oftlicir.,
to place himself on the side of the strongest,
giving to it aid, countenance r.ud co-opera-
turn, and from this strong hold to iesue in so
lent anathemas against the other, through
Clio Governor of this state ; thus diieetly
intcrtnudhng in our local pnliti s nmi avail
ing himself of our unlianpy d.visions to
make Uie exasperations of party \ct more
bitter. Gen. Oninos will not permit us to
mistake him. He proceeds to call the par
ticular party to which he is opposed, the
4 ‘ one sided enlightening class in another
jdacc he calls thorn “ the small class.' —
The opportunities of G
Jen.Gaines to inform
himself of the state of parties in Georgia
have been no doubt much better than mine,
which havo indeed been very limited, but 1
h ive more generally heard from men better
farmed that the relative strength of par-
i‘Mas somewhat different from the Gen-
raw estimate of it; he seemsto have adop-
tud'the same rule of enumeration, under the
s.'iuio optical delusion as in measuring the
strength of the Indian parties mid to ha\e
arrived at the very gratifying conclusion
thatthu numerical strength was in the pro
portion of r»0 to 1—undoubtedly a very in*
correct statement.
This officer took umbrage at rny request
>> permit thn Commissioners on the part of
fhe-Stnto to act in friendly concert with him
hi making his investigations for the discov
ery of truth ; why he did so I cannot con
jecture. This however was passed by with
out notice, ns was his subsequent refusal to
admit them to a participation of the Coun
cils in matters involving interests of Geor
gia. His indiscretion in declaring before
tins Council at llrokcn Arrow, that if the
congregated world weic to contradict the
Chief Yoliolo, he would not believe it, lias
been already noticed in the letter which I
last iiad the honor to address to you. It is
upon the authority of this Chief, of llambly
represented to be one of the most infamous
v,Wn and of the Agent of Indian affairs,
mat you have come to the conclusion to re-
Urn the treaty to Congress fir revision, it
having been procured by iutiigue and
treachery.
Gen. Gaines is reported to ino to have
•aid in thaprnner.cn of one of the Cnnmtis-
rionemoo the part of the £tatethal if twen
ty-three states out of twenty-four wero Jo
zrronounco the Agent guilty ho would not
'oelievc them.
Gon Gaines has been guilty of the child
ish indiscretion »f threatening to cut off tho
holds or ears of citizens of Georgia who
happened to offend him, as if you had given
bin his sword for tliis special service. But
irpccd sir.it is high time to dismiss the sub
j«Pt of this officer.
In maintaining correspondence with thn
I* 'jvcitimeiU of the United States, I have
I at permitted any false considerations of
/ or any false estimate of forms and
» ^monies whieii usually govern diploma-
f intercourse between States to interpose

chiorfully dsseended to the level of every
tiling which it pleased you to employ at any
Si.'ieas your Representativ e or organ, from
the Clerks of your bureaus, up to your
Major General by Brevet, and have acted
ami treated with them as equals.
, In the deportment of some of these 1
)iave experienced arrogance, self-sufficiency
haughty and contemptuous carriage, and
a in >st insulting interference with our local
politics, and these characteristics not e.xlubi
ted to one hut to all of the constituted au
thorities of tin State. Now sir, fluffier me
.hi conclusion to ask if these tilings havo
been done in virtue of your instructions ex-
.pressed or implied or by authority of any
warrant from you whatsoever, and if not so
done, whether you will sanction and adopt
tbeiu as your own mid thus hold yourself
responsihlu to the government of Georgia
Bo persuaded sir, that whenever hereof

you how very inauspicious to the views of the
Commissioners was the state of thing* prevail
ing in the nation—The same hope of breaking
the treaty,amlof maintaining their footing there
united one mid all nf them, the red man, anti
the white man, the Christian and the Heathen,
in a common bond of interest, and a common
coutse of action.
The examination of Hambly, the Inlerpre-
ter and confidential friend of the Agent, for
mally reported to >on by your own Commis
sioners a* a hate and unworthy fellow, was
distinguished for its irregularity—The object ol
that t xnniiiiatioii was to lava broad founda

it to i.e the offspring of bribery nnd corruption,
and the mast enormously wicked contrivan
ce:'., and to traduce the Hint .triers and discre
dit tho testimony of some of the most respec
table men among u«. How bad must thit
cause he which would employ such an in
strument to at r.miplisli such a purpose.
When Yoliolo, a pt ineipal chiel in the coun
cil, m tde a lid! detailing cirrumstam r* con
nected with the late negotiations at the Indian
Springs, Uol. Williamson, one of the Uommis-
sinners, u ho was present and who had also
been n close observer of occurrences at the
Springs— : d to Gen. Gaines that lie knew of
his own knowledge the statements of Yoliolo
tube false, the General answered that he
would noi hcliev j the congregated worltl if it
were to say so. Now you will have an oppor
tunity of seeing that these statements of the
Indian chief are in direct contratlirtion to the
statements of the Commissioners of the Uni
to«l States, and their Secretary, ol Col. Wil
liamson himself, of all tl^e friendly chiefs, nnd
of every respectable wliitertinn who was present
at tlif: Indian Springs.
i lie refusal of General Gaines to permit a
separate examination of the chiefs in his pre
seace, ns the only mode of extracting the
truth, and alter having more than onco prom
ised it, is as unaccountable as it was unexpect-
Mndinterest. Tho survey will in (lift flr-t in- 1

taken from ibe porkem of the wives, children,

contrary to every principle of justice and stip-

reward of g illaut and meritorious nets com*

chiefs cannot but feel most deeply. Nobody
acquainted with the Indian character can ever

Conduct and rase of Major .dn lrr:rs.~-Rc-
futution of the allegation against (for
Troup of disaffection to the Cnioti; ^*c.
I have said that the conduct of th •» gen
tleman is extraordinary . Whether it as-
siiiiii d this character from the prejudices he
ntertained before his mission to Georgia,
from infusious promptly made by tho en
emies of tho existing authorities of this
state, on bis arrival in Miilcdgcville, or in
tho Greek Nation, must bo determined by
othcis. Whether Major Andrews has nuf-
fu irntl v attended to the documents furnish
ed by this state, and the United States ; or
whether he Ins travelled out of the record,
and derived false impressions from tho sin
ister. out-door representations of designing
men, I am not prepared to say. Nor am I
prepared to say whether he sought that
frank and friendly intercourse with the gov
ernment of this state which he ought to have
sought; or whether, like another Genet
(comparing little things to great ones) he
irtuallv predicated his course on tho,
apposed dissatisfaction of the people with
the existing authorities, instead of regar
ding the acts of the latter as tlie regular nnd
Hue index of the rights and feelings of the
former.
If the existing authorities of this state
without sufficient ground, evinced any in-
position for that free and friendly inter
course which undoubtedly ought to be main-
nined with the authorities of the United
States, l have no hesitation in believing
that they acted wrong. I am decidedly of
opinion,that the intercourse between puhli
functionaries, night to bo conducted in u
pirit of conciliation, as well as firmness
qually removed from improper cmnpliam
nnd unnecessary insult. I am decidedly ol
opinion, that we ought, if possible, not on-
ly to avoid any collision with tho United
mates, hut to abstain ftom the unnecessary
xpression of opinions which have a ten
dem y to weaken the hands of tho Union
But here let me say, that, whatever may be
the ravings of a few ardent young men,
violent old men, I am confident, not only
that the body of the people, hut that the
constituted authorities, of Georgia, are pre
pared to cling to the Union, as the only suf
ficient safeguard of our liberty nnd indepen
den< o. Should this state ev er he cursed
with authorities who might be disposed
without unavoidable necessity, to raise
parricidal arm againt the general govern
inent, they .would at once he put down by
community animated, as Georgia is, by the
sentiment, “ I’hrcn/icd be the brain, and
palsied tho arm, that would dissolve the
Union
Justice to a much calumniated man re
quires tne to add, that I beliuvo Governor
Troup entertains no sentiment unfriendly
to the Union : On the < ontrary, I am
\ hired that at the same time he is a warm
advocate of tho rights of Georgia, and tlie
sovereignty of the stales, he is a zealous ad
vocato of the Union, Speaking of tlie
lights, and the wrongs of Georgia, lie has.
to he euro, used a strong language ; it is hii
habit to do so ; hut he Inis used a language
wn sav of tho otTcnsixe declarations that
accompanied the suspensibn, which, with
so ill a grace, was at last determined on?
Major Andrews declares, that 11 tho course
pffrsucd towards Uol. Crowell, by the au
thorities of Georgia, “ must he oonsidered
an unjust one, if not oppressive that the
course pursued by Col. Crowell, '• in invi
ting the Georgia fcVuntnitwioneis to he pre
sent nt tho examination of his voluntary
witnesses, is of an opposite character;" fin
other words, that it presents a contrast, hon
orable to the Agent, nnd dishonorable to
Georgia ;) that; in taking testimony against
Col. Crowell, all tho usual prerogatives
were lost s ; glit of by Georgia," in other
words, that the authorities of this state, in
taking testimony against him. violated the
fith ar’icle of tho Federal Constitution in
three different respects; &c. iVc.
Who is not astonished, who is not indig
nant, at micIi insolence ? Suppose, for the
sake, of argument, that the allegations of
Major A uretrun; who invested him with
supervisors! powers, in rotation to tho nets
of the government of Georgia, or their
firms of proceeding? lie was sent, I ap
prehend, to investigate tho condud of John
Crowell, nml the causes of the commotions
in the Crock Nation, and to apply at least
temporary remedies, llow dared lie step
beyond his province, and boldly pass upon

[Patrick Henry outlie Fed Con.
There ia an open distinction between thn
rights nnd opinions o*‘ the people. For
the first, every virtuous politician should
foel intcrostud. in relation to the last every
honest man should ho indifferent. A res-
loot for the former implies duty, but fur the
atter often betrays duplicity. In rotaring
then thn nets of public nn n to either of
these principles, it is of tho first consequence
to make a proper discrimination And 1
would ask the worst enemy of Governor
Troup, inflated ill impudence higher than
Yndruws, or sunk in infamy lower than
Crowell, where is the political act even of
his whole life fh it is unmindful of the one
or solicitous about the other? In the Into
events whicli have awakened such a gener
ous sensibility in tho extended bosom of
Georgia,such as all upright citizens, lam
bold to s ty in the teeth of every hireling
slave of federal power, will din by. there
is not a solitary act of Governor Troup’s,
when referred to any of the great leading,

tion, guided its mighty course, terminated
its glorious career, and founded. I trust

frankness—No! his qffonco is not an at
tompt at dismemberment, there ta none so
wicked as to believe it, though there are
thousands for the sake of his office, and who
covet his talents and honor, base enough to
assert it. They have purposely mistaken
the hold uni! confident language of recti
tude, for the vile aud mplinouH breathings
of treason There is no villainy too deep
for malice, and there is no mischief too
wide for ignorance. Bv the latter, tlie art
ful misrepresentations of tho former, arc to
bn spread, like clectrirfl y over tho surface of
an unthinking multitude, and. actions the
nioit worthy are tortured into designs the
most dangerous In proof this, let any one
point to the art of Governor T/oup, speri-
bribery, and pu.vh&jcd nearly all the tauritj
that composed at present ull the res pec ta
ble states of Alabama and Mississippi,
plundering at onco. from tho fc’tato, by
a dark aud craf.y device, ail her resour
ces, nnd filching from her citizens their
political patrimony. This net, was dis
tinguished by thn namo of the Yazoo
fraud, and for enormity of turpitude nnd
blackness of infamy, has seldom ita equal
Upon tho ttunafs of any country, and cer-'
taitily has no rival in tho history of the
American republics. Considering this sub
ject in reference to the outrage upon the
that actor of a young and growing country,
thn vital stab to her reputation, the reproach
upon republican institutions, but just then
entering upon that experiment so mortifying
t» the pride of monarchy, the shameful
fraud upon the people and its blighting ef
fects upon their private and political morali
ty, the hope was confidently ehciishcd by
nil virtuous men, that there would be hon
est indignation sufficient to follow the per
petrators of such unblushing malversation,
at least, through their natural lives, lind in
every stage of it to consign their political
pretensions, to the most unqualified detes
tation—But,alas, it is forgotten! Many of
tlie native citizens, who in tint day felt the
deepest resentment for the wrong, are now
no more, many havo gono to foreign coun
tries, and the strangers who have come
within our borders know but little of its
history, feel less of its iugury, and can sec
nothing of iti stain—To them it is a tale
twice told, and the surviving pollution of
that event, stalks abroad, undreaded and
unsltunncd. But fortunately fir Georgia,
there was a redeeming spirit of integrity
and virtue yet remaining among her citi
zens. General James Jackson, thet. an
able and high-minded Senator in Congress,
and one of its brightest ornaments, resigned
. that honorable station for a *.eat in the state
Legislature, with no other view, than
to crush this monster of corruption, nnd
wipe off from Ins country tho foul and odi
ous blot it had occasioned. Accordingly, af
ter a long and arduous struggle, in which he
risked his life nnd his fortune, lie succeeded
in accomplishing hi- purpose—the contract
was nnnuled and the land restored to Geor
gia— lie became the justly nnd highly ven
erated favorite of the state, received every
honor and office she could confi r, nnd final
ly died nt hcrowvicc, at the city of Wash
ington. The & if Actors in this nefarious
business, conscious of the villnny of their
contrivance and on that account the illegal
ity of the purehnsp, lost no time in getting
the title of tho property into oilier hands,
with thn artful nnd siihtV* expectation
wltiefi was after wards confirmed m the
Federal Court bv a feigned euse,t that the
state could never regain its property from
the hands of " innocent purchasers.'' The
consequence was a compromise, and as in
timated by Governor Troup in one of his
communications to the late Legislature,
“ the principle onco settled by the Supreme
Court, the net of Congress follow*," by
which,in this instance, the Yazoo specula
tors received five million of dollars. But
returning to a connected history of this
transaction ; a 1 * «oo» as Georgia re-possess

tiation with tho United States government,
with u view to n disposition of it in that
quarter, and in 1hi)v> the final nnangeiiient

Sir—1 it cotilmiiui' uiing tho lepori «d the
Coiinuusioners ol the State, appointed under
resolulionsof the Legislature, to take tenti-
monyin theca^e ol the Agent for Indian At-
jan*,and to investigate the causes of the lat**
diblurhanr.es in the Creek Nation, U ought t) :
tuoie latihlanory to you to receive it without
comment. The report may indeed lie said to
carry with it it* own commentary . neverthe
less a few rem it ks elucidatory of certain
parts of it nut easily understood by peraons
removed from the scene ol action, may not be
deemed obje* lionaMe.
I think from the context of the report, but
one itnnrcssinn will be made upon every lair
and unbiased intml—th u whatever may h ive
lieen the motives which governed the conduct
of thu Agent* on tho part ol the United Slate
i i making tho late investigations in ihe Nation,
the results ol those investig ition* have been
s ich as 11 warrant a beiiel th it tl the motives
l u ,| been the suppression, ami not the devel
opment of truth, no other results could have
followed—Tin- refusal of the .Tlnwion.u ies (af
ter much id paltering and prevarication) to
v .itv tlieir statement* by oath or affirmation,
m the more remarkable, for it i* believed that
these s-tm* Missionaries some Id or ^0 month*
were quite willing to sutaw nbe-a pap*
c intainins a tang string of clurgus ngaiust
the Agent, which ought to have been sufficient
to remove him from office, ami which they
would have substantiated by their oaths—Now
that they are m danger of being ousted
( ] te ir livings if the treaty is carried into effect,

.1 * hv thn menaces ol the Inends of the
gners of the treaty may not lead
inio error. The idea that the majority of the
ntire Creek nation i* alone competent to
lake a treaty, ia the most fallacious that could
be entertained ; it ia so far from true in
r il that unless by merest accident it
<r happens to be true in any particular. You
have only to turn to the notes of Col. Haw-
kiii*. whose authority you cannot dispute,
he mtiMmd that according to the laws and u
g«-s of the iiatioii the r»o«t imp. riant public af-
aits involving vital interest* are detertnintd
not by a majority but by a minority and fr
qtientlv very small minority of the nation lu
the whole course ol ins long residence among
them, lie never knew even the most | opulnr
war concurred in by a niajorty and all authori
tie?, and all custom will prove to you that
tegard to she most impoiiaut of tlu-ir national
acts, having relation cither to peace or war,
Coweta mu*t t du* the h-a l li at.caty lie
signed by the Chief* ol Coweta d i* consider*
ed good—if not signed bv them, good lor no
thing. Georgia was setth d in "1J—In'33 or
’34 the fiu-t treaty with the Crocks was held,
then 1 think in’36 and again in ’30. The
Co wot is aie always foremost. ‘J lour Coun
cils are almo-it invariably li dden on tlo- Cowot i
ground, and Gen. Oglethorpe pud them his
first vidt there. Hence it is stated in tlioovi-
dctico that McIntosh had the power to sell tli•.*
whale country, a.id hence thu great t (Torts
made to prevail on the old Coweta Chief,
Etomme T usteunuggee not to sell the count)y
—cffoit* which succeeded at Broken Arrow,
but tins old and ill-fated Chieftain came to me
alter ward*, a* you read in the documents, to
say he h id been deceived by the bud while
men and was opposed to the sale at Broken
Arrow,bui then his eyes were opened, and he
would tallow the advice ol hid Father the Pre
sident, and sell tlo* hind*.
Having made this recapitulation and com
mentary. pt-rmii me to subjoin that lor the gi.i-
tificatiou of u few mercenary and sordid char-
acietsia the Indian country^you threaten th< a
nost tl (grant iajasticc io Georgii. li tlr*

Georgia, none or veiy lew of the hostile pat •
y reside, and every one of the opposite pari
seek tlie survey as a lueaeuro of coutcoteuc
sotno rcetlcssspirits in the North, in inch
terms m perhaps have brought upon
him much of the abuse under which lie now
labor* : aud whoso opposition to the Yazoo
fraud, has diawn upon him tho malodic
tions of somo misclipvtous spirits in this
state and South Carolina : I say. such do
dotations ah I have quoted, coming from
such a man as Governor Troup, untW all
the circumstances, would scorn to furnish
conclusivo evidence of his attachment to
the Union. Tho recent dischargn of the
militia forces, which had been organized in
pursuance of a requisition from General
Gaines, shows that Governor Troup enter
tains no designs which will roixtar a militu
ry force necessary.
It i* a little remarkable that many oftli
sensitive gentlemen who are ready to de
pose Governor Troup for his language to
tho general government, tiro believed to
hear, without emotion, if not with approb.
tion, the offensive declarations of T. I 1
Andrews, and others, in relation to the
government of this state. Shame! Sliarne
I apprehend, then, that Gov. Troup, hdv
ing dune every thing that ho deemed nt
( (‘Mimry, and nothing mart than he honestly
believed to be necessary, to sceure the right*
of Georgia, and to promote the wishes
her citizens, and huving hern thwarted in nil
his views by a most unexpected and unre:
Monnhh- opposition, is now disposed to let
tlie interests of Georgia, in relation to the
lately acquired territory, remain whero they
have been placed by the United Stan
authorities; at least till the approaching
sessions of Congress, and the slate Lcgisl
lure
1 have intimated that Major Andrews
properly irsistcd the temporary susperihioti
of Col. Crowell. Who did not see the oh
vious necessity of such suspension? Who
did not see the obvious propriety of at least
temporary suspension ot’a public functionary
lab »ri:ig under charges of the most serious
misconduct, in relation to the Indians, tin*
state, and the United States ? Who per
ceived not tho necessity of suspending, du
ring the investigation* in thu Creek Nation,
an officer whose presence and exertions might
induce some persons to testily in hi* bchulf,
and might prevent others from testifying
against him ?
But if it was improper to resist the tempo
rary suspension of tiia Agent, w iat] ahull
our
roo institutions. How long ha* it become
treasouhle lor the Governor of an indepen
dent state, a* free as the general govern
ment, Mid of higher power, since the last i*
Imt the creature of the states, to say to that
government, you justly owe our militia and
‘ ave unfeelingly denied their rights? To
say, you have purchased onr lauds, the birtl
right of our people, and faithlessly violated
your pledge ? And cnriying this tone, it
you choose, into a bolder strain, to say, you
nave indelicately interfered with our stave
property, touching a subject uupmptious t«.
them, and perilous to ns, desist, or tukctmv
consequence you may conceive disasliou*
to our present connection ? No ! depend
upon it, there is nothing offensive io th*
atli r of such a rcm.mstr i ice, it is only n
thu manner, and thdobstiunte fidelity of it-
Indication. Tlie head of a free pcopl*
liould disdrtin any other language,especial
after having from time to time in tin
u»k entreaty of memorial implored frou
their graeo what was due from then
faith. There is a point in thn result,
and suffering of any people, beyond which
all becomes either tho sullen hut quiet sub
mission of slave.*, or (lie firm and manly rc
sistanco of patriots. This is a truth, tli
knowledge of which is to be found every
where hut upon the unfaithful rneollnctioi
of a tyrant And the first step at reJre.is i
arry thn appeal from the justice t
the fears of government." If Gov. Troup
Ins essayed mote than this ho i* entirely
misunderstood. If anyone believes ho ha*
spoken in any other than the warning voice
of intruded and injured rights, dictated by a
senso of affectionate concern—if any one
believes lie lus intended more, in this l.i
gunge, than tlie inestimable privilege ot
solemn protestation, they do him
justice, only equalled by the fatal delusion
into which they have been hurried by a
treacherous conviction.
I proceed now to the consideration of
tbe second ground of complaint mentioned
in my first proposition, to wit, in relation to
the disposition ol our public lauds.
It is well known toevery native Georgian
that we once owned ull the luud* from our
present western boundary, nnd between the
31*t and Both degrees of North latitude, to

at tliis prt sent day, arc some of Governor

on tlie record* of tho Federal Government

million and a quarter of dollars and t
li ive the Indian titL) to all tho land* within
her reserved limits extinguished, a*
ly a* the same could “ be peaceably oh
tabled on reasonable ter ms."
A* soon a* it was known tint tho stut
d ported with her land* to lh« general
government, the Yazoo sncculatois, with
an effrontery certainly only surpassed by
thu unspeakable impudence of rite original
fraud, flocked to Congress with potitioi
for compensation for thn loss, ns they said
of their lands, by the repeal of the Georgia
law and the subsequent sain of it to tho U.
States. Governor Troop Was then in Con-
gress from this state, had been almost raised
and educated by Gen. Jackson, came into
public life under his favorable auspices,
was an ardent admirer of his political prill-
pies, and doubtless had often been admo
nished by that distinguished Patriot, never to
spare Ins exertions, and to bend all the pow-
>f hi* mind, in constant and uuthigging
opposition to that hidiou* speculation, and
all who were concerned with it. True to
the principles <.f his patron aud faithful to
tho interest of Georgia, he commenced an
untiring warfare against the claims of these
political fioc-booters and unprincipled land
jobbers, lie wa* successful, as his able
speeches will shew, nidi d by tlie unparnl-
•■lied exertions of tint extraordinary man,
John Randolph, in defeating these claims
Ibr ten long years. And his open and man
ly opposition would to the last have proved
victorious, but for tiio overpowering inter
ference of the Federal Court. No wonder
then that lie looks to that scene w ilh disap
pointment and speak* of it with resentment,
if his remarks in that regard should be pro
nounced tlu; indiscretion of a heated /.cal.
niethinks at least, tho Georgians should
forgive l.im. It is the expiession of a veni
al censure, edged perhaps with a keen re
gret for the loss of a cause, which had en
vironed itself around every fold ofhis heart,
in which fraud triumphed over right, nmi
by which hi* country sustained an unde
served injury and lus own warm feelings
an unmerited mortification.
While on the subject of his congressional
services, and being at the close of tlii* N<». I
hope 1 ma be indulged in tl few reffcctions
upon tho unmanly treatment lie has received,
lie has been called a madman and a traitor.
