ry Jew, who would have called up the
fririt of feudaiifn from its burial place

directed to no oihei end but che ad
vantage of both. I'or twelve hundred

Ibotindarv of the ceded lands and the
temporary bfediidary line of the ilate 1
of Georgia ; and the United States j
un dcr t a king to extinguish, as ipeed ily |
uspoilible, the Indian claims to the j
lauds retained. In all probability this!
extinguilhment of claims will not be
e fleffed, but for a con sider able linn,
which added to 1,250,000 Dolls, will
make an aggregate consideration paid
by the United States for the fame ter
ritory, which a corrupt legislature
j would have fact ificed to Yazoo /pecula
tors for little more than one third of
the money.
The Legislature with'an almost unex
ampled unanimity ratified the articles
of agreement and ceifion, and as there
is noreafon to believe an extraordi
nary convention of Congrels will be
called within the time limited by the
commillioners, they may be confider
ed as binding and obligatory on the
parties forever. In confidence of chi?
a treaty lias been held and concluded

rivers eftecTcd.* A land office will be o
pened at the ensuing session of the le
glike tore, and an equal divihon of thele
lands among the citizens Gs the flatct
will be attempted.
So far as the wilhes and expectations
)of the members of the laR general af
j iembly could be collected from obfer
| vat ion, I am happy to fay they were
j anxious for an equitable and just ap
portionment of the territory among
honest citizens,detenninedon an exclu*
iioa cf inoiiopolifts, and well disposed
to listen to the claim of the soldier who
had not parted with the evidence of
Ills title. Altho’ but a fmail portion
of the territory reserved is obtained,
by the late treaty, from the spirit and
zeal evinced by the commifhoners and
the accommodating dilpofuion difeo
vered bv the lndians themselves, there
exists no doubt but the kidkm title
will be gradually extinguifived and the
stipulations on the pai t of the general
government faithfully fulfilled.
Such Fellow Citizens are the allure

by the government, by the extended;

of bettering their condition will be!
readily embraced by our countrymen!
