[Patrick Henri: on the Fed. Con.
If there is one political curse in (he
vc ngoaiice of heaven, or a dire scourge in
the horrors of war, greater than another, it
is the flinging into nolice in times of peace,
those up start udvQittururs whom the chan
ces of battle or the freaks of fortune, iu cru
el sport, have doomed to he great. I know
1 shall he well understood in this remark
even if 1 leave its application to the most
common observation. The late war pre
sents an experience on this subject which
is constantly seen and will continue to be
felt through many an unquiet season of
public ,Blairs. Individuals, formerly un
heard of out of their parish, nnd if known
even there, known only for thr ir moderate
grade of intellect mid the still more humble
linrartcr of their pursuits now fill die high-
st stations of the government, nnd ate dai
ly eulogised for talents and qualities, which,
one fortunate victory out of the barren field
of their lives, would leave (hem the subjects
of the most exquisite ridicule* Rut the
worst part of this mischief is, they are of
ten selected for service and the execution
of objects, beyond the reach of their capu
city, and feeling their incompeteney, they
rely upon the .ldveiritintis circumstance of
their sudden fame, and this either liurri
them into insolence or betrays them into er
ror. It has been the peculiar misfortune of
Georgia, more than once to sulferfrom these
musbroonsof fortune, uttd she is at present
undergoing n severe discipline, well mini
luted to try her p iticncc. It is my intention
iu this number, by way of proving,.s' ill fur
ther, the “ mortifying disrespect” We huv
undeservedly received from the general gc
veinment, to examine into .the eortdne* r
several of these self-important pvr*ntinp(
belonging to that establishment And I
slnll begin first with one John Crowell.—
Thismorson, it is well known, is railed tin
Indiri Agent, hut if a long list of dish
est acts, and a perfect contempt of nil law
and authority constitute any portion of
: crime, there ih not a page of the penal ou
lender that does not attest how much In* is
misnaindd. The injury he has done to
Georgia and the insults ofl‘» red to her pub
lic authorities. I affirm to he without a par
allel in the history of any country, much
less one, ns sovereign and independent us
that to who It he belongs. Tho general
government, if not from duty, at least from
decorum, owes it to the stales to protect
them Irfun insult* Tt should remember ji-
own origin, it is the offspring of favor, tli-s
mere creature of bounty,and derives all iu
power from the states. A contumely tlien
from on© t*f irs highest officers would he
extremely ungracious, but coming from one
of its veriest creatures, a reptile that creeps,
and hosinears ns he crawls, produces a hu
miliation of the most insupportable degra
dation. It will bo well to examine flic con
duct of this man in two points of view most
palpably indicated hy tho notorious finds of
Ins cum.—1st. In relation to his
now their efforts fur another Treaty at the
Indian Springs, in February the Indians
were again as-^mlded. Tho Sub-Agent
having been romovi d a-a punishment for
Ins conduct, the Cherokee* reprimanded,
1 the Agent himself iu but u moderate
spirit of rehuke, instructed to pursue a dif
ferent course, he merely changed his mode
of operations from an open to a secret hos
tility to the measures of the Commissioner*
Ilia course was of III" most deceitful and in
sidious character. In the council of the
Indians, when tho Commissioners were pre
sent, lie W'oultl advise n disposition of tho
lands, us boing the wish of their father tho
President. At night, aided by his Interpre
ter, ho would seek to dislodge whatever fit
orablu impressions his constrained openness
bad made. Finding, liowu ver, at last, from
the awknrdneas of iiissHuatioii, tho ditfier*
cnee of limn and place lor bolding the
treaty, the absence of many of his active
minions, tho yielding temper of tho Indi
ans and tho increased decision of his go
veminent, as evinced by the lirinncvsof their
Commissioners, that a treaty was tapidly
tending to a consummation, lie seduced
one of the mast powerful and influential
tribes, who hud already expressed their wil
lingness to treat, seeictly to aliandoti the
treaty ground, with a hope that their
sudden departure would immediately break
up the negociation. But in this ho was
disappointed. The Treaty was made, arid
made by bis open persuasion*, without
any protest by him al the time as to
the number or ohurar ter of the InJians.—
For every one must at once perceive that if
there weie not a antiicieiit number of Indi
ans or Chiefs of high or low degree, to le
gally enter into a treaty, it was Ins hounden
duty, nnd due to the Commissiouurs, so to
inform them, and not to have led them by
the part he took, into such a serious error.
Ho attested tho Treaty, as Indian Agent,
and it vv.is dispatched to the government
for ratification But this crafty instiumunt
of intriirtio, this arch ndvotsary of Georgia,
eagerly bent upon defeating the treaty, and
willing to spare neither pains uoi expense
to oreompbsh that object, determined, by a
rapid journey, to get ahead of tho treaty,
and l»v tho most mlumous and false rapre-
siintati'iNs to the Secretary of War, forestall
tho Commissioners in the confirmation of
that treaty. Apprehending however a mis
carriage of his artful design, before he Blur
ted tiom the treaty ground, and on the next
day alter, lie had nssitiud in making it, and
o»1'‘Slcd tt officially, bo addressed a letter to
tlmt officer, stating, that the “ Treaty was
in direct violation id’ injunctions, that it
ratified, it might produce, a horrid state of
th ngsiemong the Indians—that, with tin
ex< eption of McIntosh, and perhaps two
others, the .signatures to this treaty are cith
er »i lie fa of low grade, or not Chiefs at all ;
,md these signers are from eight towns onlv,
vvhon there aro lifly-six in the nation.” Tins
letter was shortly backed hy personal inter
views with tho Sceietary, nnd tiie whole
ol Ins influence (to besure, among honest
men, but little) was exerted to tho utmost
hut in vain, to prevent its ratification, lie
vYHsaguui foiled hi ins expectation, and now
having tho increased chagrin of repeated
disapSointmeiith added to his original mo
tive* for such indefatigable opposition, Im
was prepared for any thing. And that
horrid state of things among tho unfortn-
-(.lent Dale Indians” which lie hud just foretold,

a .jail, in a temper ot the mfist unmanly

Faithful, iiovvevor, to his } romiyc, lie corn-
incncod a regular system of counteraction
to tho measures of Georgia, and to tho po
licy of hi* own government in relation to
the Indian luucis, and this brings mo to tlio
*<;( und tiling proposed. By Ins agents *e«t

infested with tho mostannoymg mid poison

moat lerui io^s enemy. Not contempt w it It
f>rtif\ing their minds with prejudice, the
worst of all obstacles lo overcome, he as
sembled them by his Sub-Agent, nnd by
tho secret passage of bloody laws, known
only among themselves, attempted to guard
every approach towards a sm cessl’ul iippli

liicni to make one more efiort at iif

to judge lbr hi* government, or belitwing
them insincere in their proposed step, and
either alternative ought to settle bis fate, de
termined that the tune bid nut arrived for
the fulfilment of this long neglected engage
ment. Accordingly lie convened the Indi
ans al Broken Arrow in December last, for
the purpose wl giving the Limed Mutes
Commissioners an opportunity of treating
for tho land*, hut it i* a imtonous fact und
hameldl as it i* notorious, that by Ins
open agency and Ls* obvious, and ituleed
avowed exertion* of Ins £ub-Agonl, the
Treaty was almost instantly del* uted. The
Indians would not even parley upon the «mb-

fied, but not cut in ly disheartened, having
to their satisfaction, discovered the truocau-
si s of tluir lailoio, resolved upon a couibc
wjml, they hoped would, in future, remove

mediately to tin Federal City, laid open the
difficulties tin ) had encountered, exposed

mntod to uppensu a mind, malicious from

from desire. At this point it will be proper
to present the double object of purpose,
which guidrd the course oi this little though
subtle politician. And as if the ram:

guish of discomfiture, were not sullirieiit

roding passion ul avaru v It is n well
known l.ict that the agent, bv law, is pro
hibited from being engaged directly, or in
directly, with any trading oslnhlisliumut
uniting tiii* Indians, and Lie reason of this
must lie obvious to uv cry olio. Bui in order
to evade tlie law, l.e lia< sal up two of bis
brothers m the nation, at dillfirent places,
lie uly to tlie exclusion of* all olliei white
persons, as will in* shewn at Home future
period, by un juesiioiiable testimony —
These brother* liavu acquired a monopoly
of the Indian trade, and have practiced up
on those ignorant people, whose friends
they so deceitfully ptoils* to be, tho most
unheard of frauds and impositions Their
real friend,the milbriimato Gen. McIntosh,
hotter informed limn the rest, and witness
ing their abused und degraded condition,
resolved to supply bis countrymen with
tlmsu necessaries and comforts which had
been the subjec t of such unnrincinlcd ex
tortion bv the Crowell’s; and to that end,
established * store, as ho had a right to do,
at hi* own plantation. And liote com
menced tho animosity between tlio agent
nnd that gallant chief. Tho former deter
mined to ruin him if possible. Taking ad
vantage of tlio power of bis office, and be
lieving li” was too far out of tho sight of Ins
government to be easily detected, he trcncli-
eroimly essayed tir^t lo prov oke the jealousy
of his countrymen against him. thicccoj-
sapping bis influence and thereby
averting tho succour of friends, lie readily
inmciiu d ho could successfully crush him
ith the weight of his authority. In the
first lie succeeded as ho himself has the au
dacity to boast, in a letter to that British
sign to put down all competition ugninst his
brothers, oven ut tho sacrifice of tlie heat
interest of the natives, and the undoubted
privilege of one of their favorite Chiefs,
and also as betraying a private cause of
grudge against that chief, in addition to the
resentment provoked hy his manly conduct
in tho treaty. What thou is the summary
of tho evidence against this United States
officer—He is found Out of his place, and
in a state to which he docs not belong, ta
king a part in the politics of that state, using
his poisonnl influence and tho weight of his
oflico to control its elections—declaring,
upon boing disappointed, that lie would
employ Lis public authority, against tho in
terest of Georgia, lifter too, as ho avowed,
it had been exerted in her favor, for no oth
er reason, but because she Imd not elected a
Governor to suit his wishes—persuading an
United Mates Commissioner to uhnndoii his
post, with a view to frustrate tlio just ex
pectations of tho state, and thereby to in
crease nnd continue the unfortunate excite
ment which ho knew exiilcd against his own
government, to nn extent already involving
a strong suspicion o r her sincerity and good
faith. Ttue to bis pledge, lie is afterwards
found fallowing.tip his revenge, hy defeating

Rut ii lias Ik r.n intimated tlmt ilic I.i'ftit-
liituie of Georgia, in tlio case nfCol. Crow
ell, violalod tlm Cth article of thu amend
ments to :ho Constitution ot tlio United
Suites. That article is in tire following
words : “III nil criminal prosecutions, the
accused .hull enjoy tho right to a s|jncdy
an J public trial, hy an impartial jury of the
stati and district wherein the crime shall
ha rr breh committed," dco. and to he in
formed of the nature ami cause of tlie ac
rural ion ; to he confronted with the witnet
set against lit my to have comjnilsoTf pro-
I. rt fur obtaining icitiirsscs in his Juror ;
ni.it In have tile a-si-Ctnee of counsel for Ins
defence." But, says the courteous Major
Andrews to Col. Crowell, you were nei
ilmr ‘ informed of tho nature or cause of
the accusation,’ or ‘ confronted with wit
nesses against you', nni had you ‘ comptil
snry process lor obtaining witnesses'
Ins favor;'’ “ to have the assistant e ,.f
counsel lor In* defence; far. If th*. nr«-
cccdingsof Major A. and (im. O. were in
he nature of a “ criminal proseentinn"
(the only kind of a rase provided for by tlm
constitutional provisions quoted by Maine
Andrews) why tlmt, Col. Crowell was enti-
t ed to tho constitutional prongntivc* in
tho investigations before those officers
But, does not Major A doe* not Gen G
doo* not every citizen, know, that every
* riiiuna! prosecution, before everv c 'ami
jury, in every state, territory nnd ifi»trict „f
tho United State*. i«, to all intents and pur
poses, an ix parte proceeding, an incipient
investigation, u prepnrntorv enquiry, in
which the evidence on tho Hide of the pros
ecution only, is introduced; and the accus
ed i.i not informed of the nature of the ac
cusation ; nor confronted with the witnes
ses; nor allowed compulsory process; nor/
the aid of counsel f And yet, who ever
imagined that the constitution of the Vnt-
led {States was violated iu this regard ?
“ But proceeding* before grand juries artj
kept secret; and *o ought to have been tire
proceedings before the committee.” It bos
been wnl! remarked, that if the committed
bad held secret session*, we should have
beard much more complaint on this ground,
than on that just stated: We should have
heard ol plots, combinations, midnight pro
ceedings, inquisitions, ir. &n. Unfortu
nately lbr those who raise this objection.
Commodore Uortcr, at the same time Rla-
jor A. with tin* concurrence or approbation
of Gen.G. was complaining of i!io.publi
cation of tlie proceedings in Crowell * case,
was complaining in Washington City,of the
secrecy und nun publication of the proceed*
inga iu relation to him, before & tribunal
substantially similar to that which enquired
into Crowell'* case, and for n aimibir pur-’♦
pone, as 1 understand it, namely, to ascertain
the facts, and doicimine whether there was
ground for li ial!
But, it is said, tho committcoin Col. Crow-
11* case, not only enquired of tho facta,
but proceeded to express an opinion of l.ii
guilt: Ho don* every grand jury, in every
indictment, find “No bill,” c.r “True Bill,''
even when u mun is indicted for murderer
any other capital oflnneo. In case* of im
peaehment before tlio Fenalu of this slate
(and tlio United State* too 1 apprehend)
tho 'House of Representative*, on the ex
amination of ex fwrte testimony, or testi
mony on tho part of the prosecution only*
proceed to docl'ire him guilty, or at -least,
to bccub“ him, of high .crimes nud misde
meanors, and to demand his punishment ;
and it is not till he is placed on hii trial bo-
f.irotho Honatn that lie hat* a constitutional
right to have counsel, compulsory process,
formation of the chargee, Ac.
If anv suppose the grounds on which
ihe authorities of this state accused CoL
Crowell before the President, are in suffic
ient, let thorn remember that it is declared
in Jeflcrson’r Manual, pec. XHI. (but,
*• common fame ih pood ground for tho
House to proceed l»v enquiry, arid even to
accusation r” And “ ns the heads of im-
Ii’.ich'nnnl Werescvmally read against the
Lord Clarendon in lfU>7, some member in
ti* place stated to the house, 4 that several
person* Imd undertaken to make that head
good.” Or '• that the member had heard
this from a certain groat Lord ” Or “ that
this was too public to stand in need of proof.”
Or, in one instance, “that tho member
did not doubt that it will be made mil.”
In theimpeuclimenl of (,\»|. Crowell he*
fore, tlie President of the United Htates, tho
grounds of accusation were undoubtedly
better than most of those just stated : Tho
Governor and the Legislature had the testi
mony of the United Htales Commissioners,
nnd a number of other respectable white
men, as well us that of thu fneii ly iudi/
is.
The charge of injustice and oppression^
\vlii‘ h ha* hern (nought against the govern
ment of Georgia, lias been anticipated iu tlip
foregoing remarks. The constitutional pro
visions que'ed by .Major Andrews, it will
Im admitted hy all, uro nothing more nor
less than a tiatiHcript of the principles of
natural justice, a* applicable to criminal
prosecutions. If it lias been shown that
the constitutional prnvLinns have not been
infringed, it lias, at the same time, appear
ed, that the principles of justice involved in.
those provisions, have not been violalod,
and, consequently, that Col. Crowell hiu
not been oppressed.

array of charge* brought by Major Andrew*,

GEN. CLARK AND THE TREATY'.
Among the variety of scheme*,plan* nnd
unholy confederacies which hove been for
med to injure the high character and eleva
ted standing of General Clark with the peo
ple of this State, none is more truly pitiful,
and ridiculous than the one that h. isoppoa-
ed to the lute Indian ticuty. The history
of hi*administration abundantly testifies ut
those unwearied exertions which he used to
have the just claim* of Georgia enf -ret,]
nnd the title to tlie Und within our Bounda
ry extinguifchcd. No. People or Georgia,
Gcner.il Clark i* not opposed to the trea
ty. There i« not n man in your Htute who
more ardently desires to see Georgia arrive
to that enviable grade of grandeur and res
pectability which from tho extent and fer
tility of her territory, she is destined cr*
long to reach, than ho does. If ho is urf-
fricndly to the treaty ho cannot be devoted
to the interest of thy State. Citizens do you
not bHu vc that Clark is un earnest advo
cate of those rights to which you are so
justly entitled ? Yos. 1 have un overflow
ing confidence that you who«Mtot dispos
