The Government is bound to lay off the reservations and to locate the Indians. Ihe Indians have the right to sell when they please, how they please, and lo wh< m they please, subject only to the eventual approba tion of the contract by the President, which will not be withheld, whenever a contract for a competent consideration is lairiv made, and it is certain that it will be faithfully executed. I he Indians unwilling to sell immedia’ely, have expressiy t he right to reside on their res ervations foi five years and then become the absolute owners of the soil, which thev may sell without referring the con ractto tiie* Pres ident. Each Indian entitled to a reservation has a private vested right of which be cannot be de prived but by his own act or uv that of h s regularly co :stituted attorney or agent, nor can the Government be released (run its obli gations to each Indian, except by the act of the individual interested. The laws ot Alabama have destroyed with in the limits of that State the tribal character of the Creeks. The so caiied chiefs have no authority to bind their fellows by con'racts, much leas to strip private persons of their le gally vested rights. Every man in Alabama, red or white, may lawfully bind himself to do any act, that he has the power to do, which is not forbidden by public law.

The Company believe th tl all their con tracts can be legally enforced, and that tfie Government of the United States cannot, by any arrangement with the Creeks as a body, or with the individuals, deprive them of the benefit of their purchases.

In return to all j which we received from them a reply in vvri ! ting, the same which is herein enc osed. From the result,.it would appear that the j Creek Tribe of Indians, are not vet prepared to emigrate, they are, however, sufficiently apprised that it is next to impossible, sitna | ted as they arc, for them to remain a much j greater length of time in their present state, and that howsoever fondly they may lor a little while continue to linger about the now alienated abode of their forefathers, they j must at last tear themselves from it. It would also seem that they are not sufficiently satisfied oftiie extent, or informed of the val ue of ihe country, lo vvhcli it is contemplated to transport them, nor ran they be induced to believe, hut that they would, notwithstand ing their exile from their ancient home, no matter to what realms they might be banisli jed, or in what region settled, again be redu ced io subservience, to the (to them,) odious j trammels of the Laws and Government of j the white men.

Neither eflbrt nor pains, have been | ! spared by us to remove front their minds I | such illusions, hut we believe that time only, j laud a cent intro lion of’ conciliatory measures, | can nliirflutely di*pel them. Whatever could! with propriety lie done to further the views,] j and bring to pass the wishes of the Govern- ! merit, in the design of their removal, was’ es i saved by us: we left nothing undone, which according to the best dictates of onr judg ment, should have been done. We explain ed o t em the benefit* which must sccrue to litem Tri m such removal—dilated upon the tranquility and security which must reign in their new anidin’g place, when quietly estab lished under the protection of Mie Uni'edS. | insisted to them, that ‘hev could not with im i puni v, again thc'’e be male* ted by any <’t the i Confederate Stales —for being beyond their geographical limiisthev must as a consequence br* likewi e beyond the sphere of their legal jurisdidion—nor we urged had they aught to j dread from the desultory warfare of uncivili zed enemies; hut left to themselves, in the it’ieeand unrestrained exercise ol their an cient usages and customs, when congregated i mid collected together in the dark forests and verdant plains b-vond the western banks of the Mississippi, they night again exalt tbenr -1 selves from their degenerate state, and main lain themselves as a ptoph' —might again as sume to ihemselves a place among the nations ’ o'” the earth,- from which they were almost 1 altogether iu name exorguished, and from which, lahnrin ras they (lid under their pre j sent disadvantages, it must he apparent even to themselves, that as isolated individuals, they were fist diminishing. I hese and other arguments tvtr? employ-1 ed hv u c , but w.l'i unavailing etlecl. We never!lieli ss think that very many might he induced to envgrate, upon some sucii condi tions as the lirllowing—and that too almost ot qune :t< soon as the Government would bt prepared to remove them. Viz: Upon con dition that me Government should pay to i hem, the price of one dollar arid a quartei per acre for their Reservations, allowing at. ihe same time, tire privileges secured to mem, hv express stipulation in the Treaty of March 1332. in the ant epation of such event or that to each one emigrating (upon the supposition that he is tiie head of a family, and provided it were competent for the Government to make such confact.) there should lx- g-anted in fee simple half the quantity', or an amount equal to hall the quantity of land contained in his Reservations west ot the .Mississippi, Sa ihe sum of one dollar and twenty five cents |vr acre, for the residue, payable according to Ins particular caprice, either at the instant of his departure here, or afterwards on his ar- rival in A kansas. in this manner the expa triation in some instances of Towns and parts of Towns, and very generally ot’ indi vduals, migut, we conjecture, he brought alxmi. If Y’ajor Parsims a 1 Major Abbott wre an! z.-d to enter in such arrange ! ment whils temployed in the taking of the census, we thick we cotiid hazard the asser tion. that one fourth and even a larger pro nori.on of the whole number entitled to reser vations would readily, in due tbrm, relinquish rit the United States, and enrol themselves ; for emigiation. We deem it incumbent on tts to make men tion of some of tiie obstacles, which, at the present, interpose themselves between us, aid the views of the G >vernment, and prevent the accomplishment of its wishes in the pro curing of a general sale, or disposal of the i lands of the Indians to the United S ates. First, the Indians are aware that many of their Reservations will be of considerable - value, they are aware, that owing to a differ ence in point of fertility, or advantage of loca- tion, they will not all be equally so ; and tliat ] whilst the one sort, on these accounts will command a price proportionabiy high, the ratio of the estimate of the other will be less ; the more as*ute among them therefore, in the ex pectation, by management or otherwise, of obtaining the better or more valuable grade of reservations, will by no means consent to a mode of sale which must divest-them of these advantages, ami reduce them to a standard of ; equality with the possessor of the barren tract. Secondly, many of the border white men settled about the frontier, intruders or squat ters, and more especially those who have set tled themselves in tlie country for the purpose of trading, intent upon thriving by speculation, and profiting by the simple ignorance ar.d credulity ot u.e great mass of the red brethren, so far as land forms a subject of speculation, Drefer ‘tie driving of a bargain with them to the chance of purchasing from Government; they therefore leave no means untried either of artful insinuation, or even of fraud and lalseiioodj to advance the,a own private v ews, to the utter sacrifice of those of the general j good, or in other words of the Government. : I’he Imbans being rendered averse bv the prejudices anti suspicions, which it is a part of | their policy to inspire them with, from con tract ng wf t ,t. [Omitted passage.] Another, and no inconsiderable obstacle, and one with which, at this early period of the negotiation, we were hardly prepared to con flict, is a land company. We are credibly i informed by gentlemen of respons bility of character, that such a company exists, pnnei- j paiiy composed and organized by persons res- j idont in; and about Columbus. Georgia—that they are busily anc! exttn lively engaged in purchasing of the Indians, their rights to res ermtions, that they have been furnished with a copy of all the instructions of the several agents employed by the Government to carry into effect the Treaty, almost as soon as they themselves have obtained them, immediately enter into a knowledge of all the designs con ceived, and steps taken, in relation to these Indian lands, by Government, and boast, that the curtain which screens from less inieres iel a: J enquiring eyes, these private transac tions of the Government, in tiiis particular is moved aside for them, by art Honorable Sen ator in Congress, and of the Georgia Delega tion. In relation to the auriuity—it was paid as directed m the manner desired by the Indians, i It was their pleasure on this occasion, that the ! amount after a division into two equal parts, should he placed in the hands of the two principal chiefs of the nation, Ne ih Micro of the Lower, and Tus-ke-ne-au of the Upper ‘Counts a moiety to each; to he bv fhern after wards, distributed amongst their respective people. The sum paid over to these chiefs by the agent, was twenty-nine thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars. The investigation of the Indian debts, claims, Sec., it was found necessary to pospnue in order that all concerned might be allowed necessary time after notice to produce, and be prepared with them—the time se*, is the first Monday in January next, the place of investi gation, Fort Mitchell; of all v* hich, due notice has beet) given, proclamation of the same hav ing been made in the Indian Square, at the Council. r i his protracted period was set, as well for the above given reason, as also, that an opportunity might be afforded in the inte rim to Maj- n Parsons and Abbott to finish the taking of the census ; an undertaking now rendered exceedingly difficult of accomplish ment, on account of the dispersed and scat tered s’a f e of the Indians. We would re spectfully suggest, that if we were permitted to call in the aid of Major Abbott at that time, as Secretary to the Board of Commissioners, whilst setting in judgment on these claims, it would greatly facilitate the investigation; and from the despatch with which we should then the more easily he enabled to execute the business, the services rendered by him, would perhaps be the means of a saving more than equal to tiie addition of expenditure. We believe too, that a full Register of all the claims filed and adjudicated, comprising are cord of the eut ire proceed ngs, wou!d effectual ly prevent from appearing again, claims, whit h might before have been presented, perhaps paid ; but which for want of such regularity of proceednre are perpetually rising in judg ment and in their demands insatiable. We should likewise respectfully suggest, that as we find much displeasure and dissatis faction to prevail among the Indians about the i treaty, the best mode to soothe and reconcile ’ them, will be a liberal course in regard to the | location of the Reservations, secured to them I in the treaty. i ft At the request of (he Indians in Council, I we promised to mention that they thought the ! beef consumed by them during the sitting of i the Council, ought to be paid fer by the United i Slates ; the sum of two thousand and eighfy ! hive dollars was paid by them for the furnish* ; ipg of this article at that time, out of their | annuity perhaps as much business of the Go- I vernment tad to he transacted, and time con * sunied in the explaining of the treaty and I other matters of a public character, at the same instant, the Government may not think it improper to iefund it.

I am one of : the claimants to pre-emption on Tallaseefixico Reserve S. 21, T. 18, R. 18, and that the Re gister at.d Receiver of this Land District at Cahawba; Commissioners Haywood & Brown, have all decided and never doubted that such abandoned reserves were subject to pre-emp tion and floats. Your opinion and that of President Jackson, I believe, I may also ad in confirmation. Now, s ; r, the object of the present address is to inform you that some of the parties claiming under the Indian’s sale, and of course opposed to the success or’ preemptions and floats thereon, boast that the present Commis sioner, Whitcomb, was selected on account of his known opposition to both preemptions and floats, or resene . The prominent and interested party who communicated the above, further states that Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of State, is also inter ested, and that he procured the an point men; of Mr. Whitcomb, and that or. account of his known opposition to the adverse claimants under preemptions and floats.- Now, sir, it is well known to this community that this is not the only instance in which Mr. John Forsyth was himself a party to spe- dilation in lands In this country, and that, too, since he was Secretary of State. I make this charge not as a groundless 'ander, so repeatedly rasorted to by the reck less opposition, but as a faithful democrat, and awa-in ax.d unflinching supporter of the pre cedmgt.and present Administration. To cor roborute which I refer to the ilon. Win. R King, our Senator in Congress. In October of 1834 we were informed by commissioner Haywood that Tallaseefixico re serve was liable to preemption ; we settlers immediately proceeded to enter, shortly after which so litany conflicting affidavits were offered to the Department that we were ad vised to secure our claims by undoubted floats, which were adjudged at Cahawba bv tiie Register and Receiver to be valid. One or two still claim by preemption only. In February 1836, Samuel \Y r . Mardis pro cured of Commissioner Brown his written decision in favor of the floats particularly.— Francis S. Key represents the Indian party. The present Commissioner now refers the whole matter to the Attorney General for ulti mate decision; bu it Forsyth is a party, I feel our chance is redemptionless. There is r.ot an intelligent Lawyer in the country of opinion otherwise than that such reservations are subject to preemption, also to floats, for they accrue from preemptions. The treaty is too plain to admit, of an ambi guous or forced construction,nothing is plainer. I shail rely on you to make a full statement of the whole aiFur to the Attorney General, and procure his early decision thereon, which ptease forward.

I at once perceive tnat it was got up for political ptirp >ses and not lor the sake of even handed justice. I did hope, Sir, that the selfish,- and inter ested scribblers of Macon, knowing my prin ciples of non interference and neutrality in elections, would have had the common sense not to cast their gilded and deceitful bait into a stream where there were to gulls to be caught. I tnatik -the correspondent, O. P.

Neither I, nor I hope, anyol niy congregation, shall be made the tool of any party whatsoever, but like true citizens shall give our suffrage for the common good of our common country. When 1 presented myself befoie his Ex cellency Gov. McDonald with documents sufficient, as I thought, to respite any individ ual, 1 was received by him with all the Con descent ion, a fill bility and kindness ol a per fect gentleman, and when a ter due delibera tion he gave me a refusal, I perceived care, anxiety arid oriel’in his countenance, and no matter how much I may differ from His Ex cellency in Ins decision, fie acted as a man of refined feeling. The Governor could not treat toy petition with contempt as O. P.

We feel a pang at parting, though but for a seasotV, from thorn wh .se friendship we prize and cherish - , but even when -.ve exchange the last lingering grasp and press the hand we are loth to relinquish, when we pronounce the mournful word,‘fdre.weti,’ Hope whis peis, ‘we will meet again,’ and tnc pain of parting is assuaged by toe anticipated happiness of renewed in tereour. e. But when the icy hand of death is laid upon those we love, upon the playmate of our childhood, and compan'oh of our tnaiurer years, no beam of hope nor joy illumines the heart nor brings a stride to the sad den and brow. We gaze upon the face of the dead, and memory throngs with painful thoughts—the tve, once brilliant with intelligence, is glazed and lustreless— ;he voice, the tone, of w hich w e delighicd to hear, can he heard no more —upon the lips, purple arid ghastly, is placed the cold sea 1 of death—recollection brings nothing but pain, ami after the first poignancy of an guish. we feel a mental torpor, a benumbing melan choly, which nothing bul Time, the great tmohtni. can remove. The foregoing teflections were sugge- ted by the death of Mis. Sarah L. Pegg, who ueparted this life on Wednesday, the 7ih inst. in Sumter county, after an illness of two days, in the S-t h year of het age. The writer of this finds a'i language tame and hack neyed, and totally inadequate to express his high re gard for, an 1 appreciation of, the many virtues of this am able woman.

JNOf BEHUNE July 22 24 It \VM. P. YONGE. PRESENTMENTS ;Cf the GrandjjJury of Meriwether county, Georgia, August Term, lb4l. i PENHR Grand Juiurs, sworn, chosen and selected ! JL at August Terra, lt>4l, beg leave to make tho | so lowing presentments t | We hud in making an examination of books and pa* I p-rs belonging to uie Clerk’s office of the inferior I court, Ui.it of the many executions issued t ptr ! sons not having paid tneir laxcs, tlotu ean be loond in’ U.e cin k’ office. We have evidence before us, that, the collector appointed to collect tn tax of ißl*B. diet peace a number of executions in the clerk’s office, arid at".erward called for tneui an t the clerk returned them’ I to that officer, and af.e, a homer grand jury had ac.ed lon them, and allowed hull [.he co lector] the full a -1 mount of the same and since that time there ha* been money pad on them which lias not beet: accounted for. and tin* jury found them suit m the 1 aids of iltat otficer, wlncu tney have obtained and plac'd in .he i clerk’s oiSco. We are of opinion that the clerk tumid | have retained them in his custody. We have further tbund a large am mat of executions in the collectors | hands, ot 1840, whi. h we h ive also caused to bo j placed in the cieik’s otfii e. W e are of opinion that ’ many of the executions can be collected, and would ; suggest to our inferior court the propriety of taking 1 the necessary steps to have them collected, for so great a loss to the county is insufferable. In addition to what a former grand jury allowed John MeGaughv, collector o; tax for 1840, on a former insolvent list, we allow him i lie fun her sum of $27 00, which taken !Yum the amount due from him aid | paid to the county, leaves $259 80 in his hands stilt unpaid. V\ e tiiei cfore request the inferior court to ■ compel the tax collectors to pay over all the money : they have oil hand belonging to the county which they have itr t paid over, with the percent, lo which they have laid themselves liable. We present the Road Commissioners in the lower , nin.h district, for fajngto have worked that part of the road lea ling fro* Greenville to Hall’s Bridge on Flint River, between Jones’ mill on Ktd OaK Creek, to the tenth district line. We also present the bad condition of the district line road between tlie third and seventh districts be tween Hall’s store aid Nathan Truiit’s. Owing i< ’be press of business before the court, w have not 1... t access to the books of the superior clerk. On an examination of the books of the county treasu rer, we find them correctly and neatly kept, and his voucher satisfactory. We also find that the treasurer has paid out $63 58 more than lie has credit (or, ex clusive of his commissions. We deem it our privilege as jurors, citizens and freemen, to express our approbation or i isapprobation an any or all subjects of a public cnaracter in which we are immediately interested. 1 o the measure of Relief proposed to om last Legislature by Governor McDonald, we unqualifiedly dissent, and in so doing we but respond to the opinions his Excellency snggts ted on the sam subject in his annual message, to-wilr “that it would be wiong in principle to u.*e the credit of the State for the relief of individual indebtedness.” We could pres nt no stronger objections to the plan than those used by the Governor himself in his anneal message. Were the system sound in principle, the unsold aud nnsaleab e bonds now in market, prove the plan impracticable. lithe State credit was available,’ and the amount recommended obtained, we a-e slow to believe the competency of the poor and debtor to obiain under the laws regulating the Central Bank, a loan (if any at all) adequate to (heir necessities. But the impracticability of the plan, resulting particularly from the low condition of our State credit, and the impossibility of effecting sale sales of State bonds, au thorize us in regarding the measure as designed for a catch vote sot paity. It is well known that the bonds of ‘he State of Georgia cannot be sold but at a heavy sacrifice—that the bonds of the Central Bank bearing eight per cent, interest could not obtain but fifty cents in the dollar in the New York market. As an im practicable plan, we regard it as virtually trifling with the distress and necessities of the debtor, if effected as subjecting the State to addilional involvements, ren dering still more precarious our credit circulation,’ grinding still m. re heavily the poor by exposing them to a higher taxation, and affording to the money holder and note shaver increased facilities, to specula’e on the debtor by Usurious exactions. AVeare therefor* of o titiion that under the smiles of a good Providence, the exercise of indusity and economy, we. may obtain permanent relief an i not otherwise. We tender to l.is honor AN illiatn Ezzard our thanks for his courtesy to iLis body, and for the able manner in which he has discharged hrs duties, and particularly for holding court for us three days lunger than the law made it his duty. AVe also tender our thanks to the Solicitor General,” N. B. Knight, for his politeness to ibis body.
