1823, a bill was introduced in the Lcgisla-

L.'m^’^'ct matter of the communication of “Afon-
t»c«n already ably handled by another
. the publication of it becomes unnecer
a reviow of tho oourso pursued by Mr. For
syth on tho bill appropriating funds to carry
tho now treaty into cflbct, will not be thought
foreign to the interest of the people or the pur-
poses of a public journal.
In committee of tho whole in the Lower
W!, s, on suggestion of tho Secretary
proposed to amend the bill, by appro*
priming, twenty thousand dollars to indemnify
Creek emigrants for their improvement^ in
the unceded part of their territory whether in
Georgia or Alabnma. Mr. Cocko informed
the committee that a bill, oipbracing tho a-
niendment had been received from the Senate,
and ^reported that day to the House; upon
whipli the member offuring the amendment ex-
S ressed his readiness to withdraw his motion.
lr. Forsyth hojied that it would not ho with
drawn, until the provisions of the Senate’s bill
should bo known to the House; The bill was
accordingly rend; and Mr. Tattnall expressed
his conviction that it comprised the objects In
contemplation. Mr. Forsyth also admitted
that tho provisions of tho bill did cover tho a-
mmidinent proposed by tho chairman of tho ra3C ’ nn
committee of ways and moans; but opposed
tho mensure in toto as being unconstitutional,
on the ground that tho contract of tho Indian
Springs vosted tho usufruct and fee of the land
as well as the virtual domain in Georgia.
To establish his position, he adverts to tho
law of contracts; yet admits that “it was well
known at the time tho first treaty at the Indian
Springs was made, that there was a great party
in tho Nation' opposed to- that treaty.” That
tho party was “groat” cannot bo disputed,
comprising,' ns it did, more than seven eighths
ofolho Creeks.. Now, ns seven cighthi of any
representative people must, not only in reason
but according to the polities of all popular go
vernments, be efficient, through their constitu
tional organs, to alter laws and form contracts,
it follows that anv act of the other eighth, not
sanctioned -liv the seven eighths but in direct
violation of their will, cannot bind tho bodv of
tho nation. Hence the engagement of M*In-
tosh and his party could, neither in law nore-
quity, bind tho Muscoge^ people. AH con
tracts require at least <100 parties able'to con
tract; but bore pras only one party so qualified,
tho commissioners of the United States; and
consequently every lawyer knows that, in such
case, no contract could bo virtually effected.
Another plea, which he urged with his usual
confidence rind vehemence as an objection,
[The D
|,W5r Sheriff of Ftyetto county U Informed

1 of toiUnt aud waithen m mutilated tlx

here feigns to bo engrossing all his tenderness.
Tho land itself was not of any great conse
quence! Yet, on the samo day and in tho same
debate, what said this consistent and enlighten
ed Statesman concerning tho land acquired by
the new treaty?” “No doubt we ought to «c-
quiesce in this treaty, if wo get by it all that
wa.havo a right to demand. But the gentle
man is mistaken; we do not get all by this
treaty that wo got by tho former one.” Here,
then, tho land is ALL ip ALL, and principle
NOTHING! 1
Did tho rest of our Delegation in tho Lower
House of Congress join him in his opposition
to tho bill, and in declaring the General Go
vernment and its organs “in closest connexion
with these fCreek] Indians to prevent their
removal?" Far from it. The explanatory re
marks of Mr. Tattnall on the strictures of Mr.
Forsyth, are characteristic of that genileman’s
wonted candor, generosity and manliness:
‘‘Air, Tattnall (says the reporter) observed, that he
had been iuUnicttqhy hit colleiguet to say, that they
are not prepared to enter on the discussion of this
ease, and that they do not mean to uso any expression
in regard to it which may b* calculated to excite an-
gry feelings. • • » » they were not in possession of
the official documents in the- ense, and it was but jus
tice to the Delegation to say that, if the documents
were here, they shoald not insist upon them, because
they wore esparto wholly. Thoy were therefore in this
case, not prepared for trial. They were unwilling to
uso expressions towards the Administration or it* a-
S ait* wnicli might be offensive to gentlemen upon
is floor. He never was in the habit of shrinking
where it was bis duty to go forward, but he never
would consent to muke an accusation, in anv case,
till be bad the proof xvitbin his reach. He loped,
therefore,, that auy gentleman who might think pro-
>cfto reply to the observations of hit colic .gut [Air.
Forsyth] .would not consider himt’.lf and the ret! of
Ihe^iyclegolionfrom Georgia, ox included in the reply,
“It was due to the subject to stale, that, in practice,
the Delegation bad no strong objection to the bill,
and, indeed, temenop, if the constitutional difficulty
were set aside. * • * • * * He approved of the bill,
at calculated to prnent a civil war against the United
Slates, and aiso to avert an internal war between the
Creeks themselves. He believed they had only I ecu
restrained from hostilities against each other by the
authority of General Gaines, it had been the under
standing of the two [Crack] Delegations.iiere, that,
as soon ns their matters should be brought to an issue
with this Government, they would go "home topre.
B iro for settling their disputes by the tomahawk.—
ut all sides were satisfied with the present treaty;
and he u»u authorised hy'his colltng iet to ttnlc, that
they concurred with him in the general sentiment of op.
probation."
This expose of Mr. Tattnall places Mr. For
syth in a position really irksome and ridiculous.
implies a total ignorance.of the principles of ^ IjC01 ‘
international law. His own language shall be s,ructcci hy his COLLEAGUES to say, that
c j tC( j ; . 0 they were nor,” etc. No exception is made
“A treaty l« made betweeb the ministers of two go-
ernments, duly authorized, and then submitted to
both government* and must subsequently be ratified
before it becomes.binding. Bnt is there any thing
tike this in outtruaties with the Tndians? A treaty is
made by the commissioner* of the President, the ap-
luin'ment of whom Is considered a branch of his mi-
itnry power, and os soon a« the'agreement thus made
is ratified by the Senate, it is immediately binding,
without any subsequent reference to the Indian au
thorities."
It is ovidenf, that ho here makes on our part
110 virtual distinction botwoon our treaty-mak-
jng process with tlm Indians ami with civilized
powers. Executive agents in both cases agree
upon the terms; which are, in order to erunrd
against incapacity or treachery, submitted for
ratification to tho President and Senate. It
thus appears, that, so far as it depends on us,
we make no distinction, proforma, in conclud
ing a treaty with tho Creeks and with the king
of England. That tho Indians should dis
pense with a revision of tlioir treaties previous
to oporation, is no evidence of political folly
o> incau:ionsness; for treaties,' on their part,
are usually begun and completed by tho full
legislative power of iho tribo; so that tho cau
tion against dishonesty and treachery in agents,
by roiuspcction, becomes unnecessary. They
give at once to a compact all the solemnity
atid forgo which it rc:civcs on its ratification
by a civilized power—tho full sanction of the
nation,—and nothing further can ,bo given.—-
Additional proceedings, which would on tlioir
part be only a repetition of the sanction, could
ndd nothing to the efficacy of tho paction; and
must consequently bo but useless ceremony,
occasioning much trouble and unnecessary ex
pense. If on somo occasions, they delegate
thoir national authority, thoy impinge no right
of the party contracting with them; for they,
us a people making thoir own imornal regula
tions and corresponding with our government
as a distinct race, have unquestionably the right
to bind themselves by the acts of such dele
gates os thoy may choose from tho body of
tlioir tribe. It is our duty only to lio certain
that those agents arc fully iuvestod with tho au
tiiority necessary to hind thorn.
Where, then, is tho distinction, in effect,
zarding loo much to .affirm, that that print is
tho favorite of tho Troupers. ‘ Every intelli
gent man in Georgia knows, that tho Southern
Recorder, muugre the political zigzags of its
editor, transcends the Jdiirnal in orients and
utility, ns much as tho Savannah Georgian ex
ceeds every other Troup paper ill the Stato in

number, it is an impeachment of his honor, and
an accusation of his having forfeited his word
plighted to the rest of the Delegation. This
inference does uot however depend upon con
struct ion. It is well known that measures
were subsequently adopted against Mr. Forsyth
to make him account for his treachery towards
tho Delegation; and as the circumstances that
suspended their operation exist n» louger, lie
nuy yet find it necessary to tho coutinuance of

Mr. Forsyth was crowded upon the friends of
Tattn.dl, is far from being satisfactory. Our
humble opinion is, that the honoinblo Mr.
Tattnall' would have been elected, but, that
Mr. Forsyth cannot be. Our correspondent
gives Talbot largo majorities in tho lower
counties, nnd almost a unanimous ono in Chat
ham. In Richmond ho will lead Forsyth, at
loast one hundred votes; and in Columbia, that
ho will got a mnjority of one hundred and fif
ty. In the Northern and Western Counties
his triumph will be complete. Tho active en
ergies and moral efficiency of the whole Jack-
son party in Georgia arc stirred up to advance
the claims of their favorite Candidate, Matthew
T.riboi. Tl.ore is a simultaneous ami universal
burst of enthusiastic fervor in respect for this
veteran througlt the State. We hear that a
barbacuo, more splendid than any ever witness

Messrs. CamaJc t( Ragland—I was fortunate enough,
in our late laud lottery, to draw a lot in theOth district
of Carroll county, which lying west of Bright's line,is
included in the Old but not in the New Treaty, and
my private affairs now admitting of my obscnco from
home, I should proceed to the Beat of Government in
ordqr to obtain n grant, but for the circumstance of
my wishing first to learn from an authentic source,
whether it is true or not that the Governor declines
granting the land in the old but not in the new treaty:
a report affirming that he does, is in circulation in my
neighborhood, and receives, or appears to receive the
full belief of many individuals who in nil matters of a
public nature, teem to he very knowing men. You
will therefore in obtaining and communicatirig to me
as soon as conV*.iiant, correct information oil this
subject, confer a favor and perhaps save a private citi
