Ftom the facts stated in the documents
submitted, it is manifest, that it is the de
sign of the Delegation, by whom the treaty
was negoe.iated, to make a distribution of
the greater part of the money to ho paid in
the United States, under the treaty, among
themselves, three Cherokee Indians, who Pad
no interest in the lands, and consequently,
were not entitled lo any pot lion of the
’money, and a few selected individuals, in
gross fraud of the rights of the nation
Tho particulars of the contemplated dis
tribution are stated m the paper marked
The Conferees of both Houses nre unani
mously of opinion, that it is the duty of
the Govern oerrt to protect the nation against
this unwarrantable design of the Delega
tion, as tai as that can he done, consistently
with the stipulations of the treaty, and the
rightful powers of Legislation, which are
possessed by CnngtOR*, over the interest ol
the In-linn n itions. within the United States.
They dilTer, however, a9 to the extent to
to which that protection can be afforded.
The Conferees of the House believe,
that am mdment of the Senate, so far
os it pr<»\ides f.»r the, propntthins and man
ner in which the money shall he distribu
ted, conflicts with the treaty, which stipti-
I itep that the money shall ho paid to the
Chiefs of the nation, to be divided among
the C .iofs and Warriors thereof, and pro*
posed to your Conferees a substitute, m the
following words, viz •. *‘ Both of whi h
su its shall he paid to the Chiefs of the
(>cck nation, to be divid'd anting„ the
Ctiicfs aud \V trriors of dm said nation.
And that the same he don.* hy a Special
Agent, tinder the d. ruction of the Secretary at
War, in a* full Council of the nati'*n, con
vened upon notice for that purp >«c.”
^ onr Conferees, believing tint the amend
ment of t'x* Senate, is within their right
ful power of Legislation up m the subject,
and sensible that there cun he n » doubt of
its superior offi aey, to etfert the object in
view, have not fi ll that they would be jus
tilled in agreeing to the substitute, without
the express instructions of the Senate.

Gentlemen : P > avoid delay. I hasten to
ackuowle-lgo the receipt of your comtnu-
nidation of to-day, and inclose the report
oPthe <J li er to whose superintendence is
committed the Bureau of Indian A flairs,
as dis ’losing the information requested.
It may be necessary to add, that the Do
p-irtmuiit has adopted no measure whatev
er, in reference to the paper referred to in
your communication. Whatever has been
d me, or is proposed to ho done, is contain
ed in the treaty. For although I was advis
ed, as Col. Benton is aware, to approach
the influential chiefs with secret grutuitic*.
justified, as it was urged, hy the usages of
the Government, I peremptorily refused to
• Jo so ; and determined, that whatever was
.given as tho price of the laud, should up
•pear on the face of tho treaty. Its distribu
tion, at their own instance, is considered no
affair of this Government, except so far at
‘humanity was concerned in preventing dis
^ lurbanto. To my advice, they replied, thee
authority as representing their tribe hit!
nut been questioned ns to the sale of limit
lands, and they could not see the proprie
ty of its being doubted as to the receipt of
the purchase money, and that they are wil

T«. the Uuu. James Barbour.
Secretary of War.
Sir ; I have tho honor, in compliance
vvi h your directions,to “ state w' at I know
of tho progressive steps taken hy you in
regard Lithe late Creek Treaty, nud imme
diately .preceding the opening of the nego
tiation, and which led to its execution;
and particularly as it respects a list of the
money, which tho Chiefs prepared, con
taining the Hums which they requested
shatrld bo paid over to them, individually,
and i;t this city,” to state, that the first step ,
immediately preceding the opening of the
negotiation, was to impress the delegation
with your own apprehension* in regard to
the difficulties which would accompany the
evocation of any Treaty, tho provisions of
li might fall short of those contained
in that concluded at the Indian Spiimrs, on
the lffilt February last; and that, to recon
cile them to the piovisions of that Treaty,
you wove prepared to consult their happi
ness ip a location upon lauds West of the
Mississippi which they themselves might
select ; and to add to tlm monied stipula
tions of ill it Treaty, so ns to make them
coinfurutble in their new homes. This the
delegation promptly rejected ; nor would
they listen tv any proposition short of one
whi di should have, for its basis the absolute
annul meat of that Treaty, as a preliminary
to the formnlion of any Treaty, and of
any kind. The basis was then submitted,
and embraced a cession of all tin*, lands
owned by the Crude nation within the
chartered limits of Georgia- This was also
rejected, and tho Chatahoochy was propos
ed by the. Delegation as the boundary, ac
companied by uii explicit declaration that
they ii^i in power to go fmtlicr Hero a
discussion took pi ice, in which you urged
them to consider U»o extreme peril of their
present situation, and recurred again to
your fear that, should they, by refusing to
accept the basis which you had submitted,
that the nogociaiious might end, and the
treaty of the Indian Springs bo sustained
and enforced, in which event their sitttta-
lion would he truly deplorable, You assur
ed them that you wore consulting their hap
piness, and that no other object was che
rished but to secure to them future security
_ nn d rep.uo. You illustrated the relation in
^Tvliich the United States stm l to G
•and tlie difficulties which they had it in
their potter lo remove, by a prompt acqui
escence in the views ot limit Great l'other
the Prt i lent. Frequent interviews wero
JiaJ beside a report to the agency ol G »vern
or Cass to produce in tkom a doei:i?! r n la
vorable to tire basis you had proposed, and
which had been urged from tho begin
ning.
In this stage of the discussion, and when,
.qt last, the Chatahoochy was agreed to as
the basis, with a fragment of land north of
jr, as defined in the treaty, and before tho
treaty was put in form, Rid"« and V atin
made known the intentions of tho Chiefs to
require reservations for them. This was
promptly rejr^tod. They were told hy } on,
that n) locations oftlie sort would he allowed,
bat that a fair equivalent in money might be
added. They replied, money was no object.
They finally agroeJ to ten thousand dollars,
meaning, 0:1 their part, as they afterwards
explained, ten thousand dollars each, hut
wero put right by tho assurance that no such
sum was intended, nor could ho thought ol;
an I that five thousand dollars each was the
extent that could bo allowed. They assen
ted. Tho treaty was then drawn, (as it
pears m its present form, without its sup
v.ital article,) and submitted to them,
agreed to. ’ . .
At t/.is period, and after tlm signing,
Uidgo and Vann brought a paper to ine, *hn
ing the Union had agreed to tho payment-
to tlm persons whoso names wore upon it
and i i thusn.iis opposite each respyeiiwl v
1 told tiiem i was thmr own aflair; th
t.Ity provided fin a payment of tuu "'h

best mode, ns the nation was interested in
the d'Hlti'iution, and might except to it. I
lieu took tho paper toy >n,nod explained
tlmse views. You wen* much engaged at
the time, and answered, you p«*esuiii»*d it
was their own ntfair, and liowever proper it
might he seen morn general equalization of

must rest with them.
I returned and asked Ridge and Vann
their object for bavin? the apportionments
made Imre ? They answered they wanted
it counted here," and sealed up, and given
to each person, as preferable to having it
done in tho nation I told them it could
not he done here, hut the Cashier of the
Branch Bank would, no doubt, oblige them
h> seeing it so counted and sealed.
1 nis, afterwards, became n subject of
consideration with you. You spoke to me in
regard toit.and it bavin? been intimated that
probably the inferior and less intelligent of
tlie Chiefs might not know what arrange*
tnout was made as to the sums, and the man
ner ol applying them, I sent fur Ridge and
\ arm, aud asked them to st te distinctly
wlietnerevery member of the Delegation
knew, as well as they did. the mode which
’hey had udopred lor the distribution of the
money? ltidjre frankly answered u no—
hut that OpothlcYolmln and Charles Corn
nells knew, and that vvu« enough.” I re
ported this to you, when voii directed rm

the supplemental article of the treaty was
agreed to, and Rent to the Senate. They
came Vmi then represented to thorn the
danger that might nriso from so partial a
hstribufion of their money ; ns their pen
ile at home might not submit to if You were
insweted,they knew what they were do

ver which the treaty hud given them the

therein indicated They answered

the- tents you had express 1 \n regard to
tho probable clients of such a course upon

—for that they would see that their people

and fully explained in council, to their peo

From the facts stated in the dor intents sub
mitted. it appears that the Delegation from

e*gotialed, proposed in rxtanviva reservation
*1 lands for flu benefit of Bi lge, Vann, an

article of the treaty, which provides that
the money given hv the Government of th*
United Statr s shall he paid to the Chiefs o'
the Creek nation, to be distributed among the
Chiefs and Warriors of said Naiion.
The Committee on th'* part of llie House,
anxious to provide fora just distribution ol
the money to he paid under ihe treaty, end un

prehensive that the Senate's amendment would

the following, as a substitute to the Senate’s
amendment, to wit:

I have thus hastily complied with your

of‘he treaty,Ridge and Vann brought «

to the payments to the persons wlios*

Conference, showing th • Units oj the agree
ment for the proposed distribution of the mo
ne t to ht received under the Creek Treu'i/
To this proposition, the conferees on the
part of the Senate, alter having submitted it
for advisement to that body, a id received their
instructions have agreed, with a slight modi*
lio ition. The Committee of < ottforencc now
report the following toboth branches,as a sub-
stitut** for the Senate s ainemlment;
“ Both of which sums shall he paid to the
Chiefs of the Creek nation, to he divided
among the Chiefs and Warriors of said na
tion : and til tl the same he done under the
directi n of tho Secretary of War, in a full
council ol tlie nation, convened upon notice
for that purpose.' 1
The House then to-*U up tlie report of
the committee of conforenoo, on the sub
ject of tin* Creek Treaty.
Mr. FORSYTH s.iid n most stupendous
fraud had been intended by the persons
who had formed tins new treaty. It had
been contemplated l»v tho chiefs engaged
it to put the money in their own pockets.
The Senate has discovered the intended
fraud and had amended the hill to prevent
ts consummation The report provides
or a council. Suppose the council meet.
Flic warriors say the money belongs to
them. He called attention to a statement
from vvhnt«is called the Indian Bureau It
wouhi ho se n that Rtdgcand Vnnnn—some
times called Secretaries, sometimes I it ter pra
ters ; two Cheroknes, paid hv the govern
ment to net for the Creeks against the Uni
ted States—had made several propositions,
anti had modestly agreed, at InM, to take
$10,000. They intended $10,000 each ;
hut were set right, and it was agreed that
,000 each should given They assented :
th ■ treaty was then formed. After tho for
mation of tho treaty, before it was submit
ted to the Senate, these Secretaries submit
ted to the chief of the Indians B a ran, a list
•>f names, and sums affixed to each Tii’n
was suhmittted to tho Secret? ry of War
who said it was the business of tho Chiefs,
! Ic summoned the delegation ; they said
it nict their approbation. The money is
•art of the eon-idej-ation in the treaty. A
payment of $ 150,700 is proposed to he pan!
to those who negotiated the tioaty, and their
rrionds, as a douceur Every one must he
‘■Truck with tho dsspararo infamy of this
transaction It cannot ho contemplated
without indignation and horror It appear
ed to him tint the money should bo divid
ed among the nation. Thorn aro cirenm
stances attending this transaction which
ought to bo understood by tho House—hy
tho nation A Chief has been slain for
having sold tlm interests of his nation ;
tho persons bore are those who condeined
him to death. Yet ho did nothing hut soil
Ins own property for its value. He vva
slain, has been vilified in the United State
tor thus disposing of his own property
They who murdered him ate hero ready to
pillage thoTreasurv. He did not believe the 1 llioiized hy ihe ('
amendment would do justice, would rem
edy the evil. Ho hoped the powers of
Congress will he exerted to prewrit tlie
money from going into the hauds of the
wretches, and that they will bo exposed'to
their nation.
\ question has arisen between tho two
Houses, as to the power of Congress over
this money. lie reminded the House that
these chiefs are merely representatives of
the nation, and the .contract will not he
complete unless the money bo paid to the
nation. IIo observed, in reference to a
sentiment iu the report, that the Secretary
of War had the same power over tho money
feroncc would proxert those fraudulent ef
fects which tlm gentleman from Georgia
anticipated. The motley must be paid to
tho nation. II" reminded tie gentleman
liom Georgia that tho nmendment of the
Senate had horn materially nvvlifirdbv the
Committee of Conference. This may have
been a vtiipendous fraud ; he was not ronvor-
-•ant with tin* farts. He insisted that Chero
kee agent* had a right to their compensation
for the services which they had performed,
without subjecting themselves to tho charge
of fraud, lie would not pmnml to give
an opinion as to the. facts with which he
wus not acquainted ; hut he resisted the
‘‘lTort to affix criminality to Ridge A Vann,
for merely taking the reward to which they
were entitled.
Mr. WICKLIFFE, and Mr. COCKE made
some remarks iu c.nutinuation, vvlt-a
Mr. COOIv asked lor the ptevious question
which motion w m negatived.
Mr. BURGESS wished to know what gi eat
fraud had been committed. If the money he
nairt to ihe Delegation, authorized hy the
(’reek nation lo negotiate and act, where is
the fraud f Where is the evidence that these
chiefs nre die exquisite scoundrels the) have
hr en described to be ? \V h it was die original
fraud ? The Secretarv of War had been ask-
<• I lo bribe. He had infused. Was this fraud ?
Fraud implies secret y ; yet die horrible fraud,
now discovere i within a lew da\s, had been
known long ago t * gentlemen who let.! occas
ion to transact business with the Indian De
partment
Mr f'U I’HBERT adverte I to die anoma’ous
power exerted by the Government in suppres
sing a whole treaty, and eontrasled ii with die
strange delicacy which gentlemen tlisplaved
when required lolnnrh a single • cle in inn-
ther trea’y, and that for the purpose of pre
venting frauds— worse thait f, a ids—damnable
treachery; of protecting die tights and nit* -

He asked to whom the consideiation in *n< v

Mr BODY gave notice that he should move

solutiou scut from the Senate was nj t tod, if
the present discussion wore continu' d.
Mr FOR3Y 1 II made some observations in

stated, alleging that the Secretary of War
knew that these, chi* Is intended to detVam'

us tho laud. Tho intention of the chiefs
was made known to tho Secretary of
War; but the fact of this intention was
not communicated to the Senate fi«m
the Department. It reached the Sen
ate by other means. The Secretary of War
had the same power to refuse the money, us
to refuse the lauds which ho did in tho first
instance. Tho Secretary of War was re
commended to approach the Chiefs by tu
rret gratuities; this ho refused to do. Ho ns
ked thorn where was the difference in a mor-
ul view between the method here proposed
and rejected, uud the mode now adopted.
There is another part of the transaction,
ns detailed in the famous letter from the In
dian Bureau ; and if it be true, the treaty
now formed was made contrary to instruc
tions ; and the same difficulties may arise
in i;s execution, as rxis ted to the fi rmer
treaty. If was alleged, ns to the former
li only, that the persons who negotiated it
wero not duly authorized. In tho negotia
tion of this now treaty, those who were con
ccrned irt it have also gone beyond their in
structions. Ho did not believe tho state

Upon the subject then ot our judicial svsieni

while justice is cheaply, simply, and speedily

ministered with that uniformity nnd certainty,
which the interest of all require ; a simple
uniform, cheap, nnd certain administration of
justice, is a desideratum in every country
