He was willing it should be probed to tbe bottom. Mr. Berrien,of Georgia, next ad dressed the Senate. He said, genile men shrunk from an investigation of the treaty of the Indian Springs, and feared to alter the one submitted to them, lest by its failure, that inves tigation might become necessary. [See his vote on Mr. King’s resolution tailing for the evidence.] Sir, in the progress of that con troversy, which has grown out of the treaty of the Indian Springs, the Peo ple oi'Georgia have been grossly and wantonlv calumniated, and the acts of the Administration have assist, and to give currency to these calumnies. H' r Chief Magistrate ha- been tra duced. The solemn act of her Leg islature, has been -cl at naught, by a rescript of the Federal Excutive. A military force has been quartered on her borders, to coerce her to submission; and without a trial, with out the privilege of being heard, with out the sembla ceof evidence, [.S>e his Tiotelshe has b en deprived oi rights, secured to her by the solemn stipulation of the treaty. I leave to those who have direct ed this controversy, the cheering r - flection, that they have trampled on the rights of Georgia, which they wereboundto protect; and calumniat ed her citizens, th ir agents, who-e honor it was their duty to guard: that they imputed fraud to the old treatv and have shrunk from th proof of it ; [ s 'ce his vote] and that the operations which have eventuat ed in that compact, which vyc are now called upon to consummate, were commenced in blood, and have ter minated in corruption. The question was than taken on Mr. Holmes’ proposition to amend Mr. Van Buren’s resolution, and was decided in the affirmative, ayes Id, noes 16; and then the question was taken on agreeing to the resolution as amended, and carried. Extract of a Idler from Opaline Yoliolo and others, composing the Creek deputation, to the Secretary of tear dated. Washington, Ist April, 1826. “ We have consulted on your talk of yesterday in relation to Ihe bene fits derivable from a good education. If gives us pleasure to have it in our power to say, that we discover nothing in our father, the president, yourself and colonel McKenney, but the strictest justice, friendship and humanity, as evidence during our in tercourse on subjects ofpcculiar char acter and interest. Any recommc - dation, emanating from this high source, demands respect and atten tion. The examples you pointed at in Messers. Ridge and Vann arc too striking to be resisted, and we have, therefore, accepted your talk, not only as the talk of friendship, but with greatful hearts as children, at a time, as we hope, when the threatning storm is hushed to silence, and our people left to breathe in the calm ci peace, by the graves o : ' iheir fathers.

Statesman Milledgeville, Tuesday, June 27, t '•^'6. Pro aria, focis, et patria nostrum. In our columns to-day, will be found the whole proceedings of the Senate of the U. S. on the subject of the Creek Treaty, together with severa' extracts from the Sp. ecbes and.- iivereii on the subject. As the subject of the Creek Treaty, and the controversy which arises out of it, has becomt a master of such notoriety, no! only through out the United States, but veil in Europe, we have deemed it proper to publish the whole proceedings as reported in the National Intel ligencer, to which we ask the attention of our readers. The extracts from th Speeches ere made from those reported in the Rich mond Enquirer. We understand from the Georgia Messen ger, that a meeting tvas lately held in Mon roe county, for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the subject of the Creek Trca’v. This meeting adopted Resolutions whir 1 were preficed, or preambled, In sentiments md language of no common order but which ninsl fort vi r s peart lively recollection o' the chaste, the neat, the gentlemanly views and feelings of those tvho in de 'hem. To shew tha- r are not moved bv preji - dice or partiality nth * m tter, we giv •an extract —“. I violent prejiuHced and party-rid den Administration, ilesparately bent on the ac complishment of purposes, eminently sinis'i ■ and selfish." Here we are at fault—unknow ing, and as Mr. f ell says of u«, “unknown.” Do they say this of his present Excellence. Si Cos., or do they apply it to the General Government? If latter, is it because all those Senators, except seven ho .rcCr w ford men, and oppose,.' Gen. .J ekson’s eleva tion to the Residency, vo- and for the anul inrnt of the Old and ratification of the Ne" Treaty ' If so, the Administration “ nag’" carries a weight heretofore unknown in the sports of the turf. We noticed in tbe Savannah Republican, of the 13th inst. a long, labored, article, (con taining nearly two columns of Brevier,) e< - ivened by a fine poetical extract, on the sub ject of the “ tables turned .” This artiel seems to have been written by Mr. Feii, tbe Editor, and the long edge, and whole force of it, is apparently directed against the writer an artcile in the Georgia Statesman, of the 6tl> inst. The only reason this notice is given to Mr. Fell’s labored essay, is to correct a fee of bis many mistakes: but we cannot attempt to wade through and expose all, both political and personal, that may have occurred in so bur Mr. F II is ass ired, that the Editor of this paper, who acknowledges himself the write and publisher of the article so offensive to him, has never enjoyed the honor, or emolu ments of any office whatever; and he bi le ves his iiios intimate friends and acquain tances have never con-idered him an offic* hunter —Mr. Fells assertion to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Fell says, “why so suddenly desert the subject of the Treaty, one which seems to oc cupy his particular attention, and vent ail his angry denunciations against the people of thi- Stule, a people from whose hands he lias re ceived favors perhaps equal to his merits.” The writer acknowledges that he has re ceived from his fellow-citizens, generally, as much, and perhaps more than he has merited ; but it has not been in offices, or executive gifts—but in that kindness, hospitality, and urbanity, which characterize tbe people ol Georgia: and which is believed to exceed that which Mr. Fe ll has exhibited on this occasion. Plr. Fell may he assured that we have not deserted the Treaty. We are sticklers for hat, and we almost regret, for Mr. Fell’s s ike, that he should have expended so much •>f his energy oq so trilling a circumstance, f. r in th, bite murder “ trill old," “time and circumstances will develope facts,” which will require the undiminished force, and full play of his whole battery to impede. Mr. Fell is pleased to say, the Editor of this paper is “n stranger in our Stale." How long a native of the Ended States must live in a particular Stale, before he ceases to be “a stranger” we believe civiliians have not del, rmined : but we can assure Mr. Fell that we have lived in Georgia long enough to have been almost daily, for seven years, witnesses of his political shifts. Mr. Fell seems to have imbibed another i - or rather permitted himself to mak. mother stotem nt, which, unfortunately or nun, is not true, (viz») “ his accusation then .‘-s.iiuts this aspect, that the. majority of the people arc uninformed.” Ono Mr. Fell, O no, that wont do the writer made no obser vation that assumed such an “aspect;” and a man with both of his eyes open cannot dis cover, nor your sophistry convince the com munity, that such a sentiment was advanced. Rut ibis stretching off cts is what we under stand to be prov rbally habitual with some oi the “older" oi the profession. Mr. FII ex presses his charitable feeling, that we did not mean wrong, f.r which we .re under iasting obligations to him; and it gives us pain that we cannot, in allusion to his essay, recipro cate such an holy feeling. We regret that it is not in our power to publish Col. Rockwell’s exposition this week, but it shall appear in our next. TOUIITH or JULY.

Agreeable to the notice giv n in the Geor .i .lo'irnul, and Southern Recorder, of ’lit: Oth instant, the citizens of Baldwin county '■omened on Saturday last at the eonrt-housi, i lilledgevilk , to express their opinion, in il lation to the Creek Treaty. As the proceedings and incidents of his net ting may be a matter of inti test or amu< - ment .o many, we propose next week to give tailed history, and an official r> pl>rl of the oc edings. At pres, nt we can only s v th t two seta ol R solutions were submittid. he on b. Dr. Fort, and the other by Wm. H. Torrance. Esq. The following, sub mitted by Dr. Furl, was supported by a decid tl majority. In a country, the freedom of whose institu tions give to every citizen a vital int rest in pas ,ig events, it becomes a duty on all necessary ne. asions to make such public expressions of and sire and sentiments of tbe people .s nay tend to produce that union ofp rpose, nd i rinony of sentiment, which con titut s the ■.! relight and glory of republics. For this pur pose vve avail ourselves of the occasion present .. by a call in the newspapers for a meeting o certain the public opinion w ith regard to the i tie ity concluded at Washington city with . Creek Nation. Hi." snbji ct of our Indian relations we pre eivr with regre is again to be made a means of perpetuating amongst us those fueds which is lie desir of our hearts to see at in end. IVben it was annouceo that a Treaty had be. n concluded at Washington by which the rights i Gc .rgia so long denied her, h; J been obtain* ,we fondly hoped ihat j new era would p. n e ore our people, .in .ha! adesi.c .obar .io nise with one another and ;o live in confidence md peace* with the General Government, oultl henceforth distinguish our state nd .cople, and forever silence th clamor which has been rais and ig inst us from one enu of t e United States to h other. AVc hoped the Jay had dawned in »hi Ji our citizens inigh r. !! pert* oi our i annti v. m. ’ that courtesy nd -pec dm to in. min is of the great fain o. of these L. States, -nd that -he declara t on, lam n Georgian would no longer turn on the individual making it, that attention, w hich he was in doubt, whether to resent or endure. But wc have been sadly disappointed. Indian relations—lndian lands, are still to divide us at home, and sink us abroad. Meetings bav been held in various counties whose proceedings are calculated to pep. tu te and increase that unhappy excitement, which has been the bane and disgrace of Georgia. Wc hold it to be our duty to ex press our opinins of these meetings and their proceedings. If these meetings have any object, it would a . pear to consist in an attempt to can y into edict the treaty of the Indian Springs, regard less of its anutiment; or as some would have i , to signify to Governor Troup the wishes of ,tiie people with regard to his attempting to survey the lands, under the law passed at his famous called session ; —now wc hold it to be impossible lor any set of in n, knowing tbe facts relating to this subject to believe for a moment that the people and government of' Georgia can carry this treaty into effect— The treaty of tbe Ind.an Spring is null android, the attempt to carry it into effect is madness, and lion , ver it may gr..te on the ears of sun: , wc would not hold him guiltless who woulu stretchforth his hand to tear down t.ie taws of THIS LAND on this subject —allow the un hallowed attempt to survey this land to go on —and what istiie consequence ?—Tin gener al government is hound to inerpose for the protection of its laws. —We are aware that the in.erfertnee of the Government of ih l . States, to prevent the State from carrying in to effect any law which may have been passed by her Legislature, is calculated to produce great excitement in the public mind. This jeaious regard of their rights is the safeguard of ottr liberties ; but before the people are called on to enter into a contest wiLh the Gen eral Government, it behoves them to be very sure that their rights have been invaded. For ourselves, we are decidedly opposed to any measure of violence on this subject. , R. tween the. Treaty at the Indi n Springs ify t Washington, we fisc not the in, ,u ting—tnc evidence on which ■ juogin nt ii ' ! ruled, has not been published, anti • < have tin ill, ri.j f our Senators in Congress lor supposing u.ci B .. not lo have been published, both oi tlieni hav ing voted against its being laid before the Sen ate—Our desire that the Indian title to the lands u ilhin our limits, should be extinguish ed as soon as practicable, has been unilormly expressed, and on this subject our policy is unchanged—lt was our right that the general government should procure these lauds for Georgia—bul it is undoubtedly their right to decide on the mean- by which it is to be ef fected. —If the Lands arc ceded to this State, it is not for us to apply the measure of corriqi tion or purity to the old, or new treaty, both nave be. ii made by the general government by gents of their own, and theirs is the blame or praise—Thus it appears, that we have neither the information on w hu h to judge, nor i power to effect any purpose opposed to Uie laws of the general government—nor are we responsible tor the pun y of those laws.—The questions which inti rest us on .his suljeet arc rew : —Has Georgia obtained justice ! Have her lands within the Creek courury been i\ ded? We have the high authority of Col. •km ox for supposing that the new treaty - intended by all parties tocov. r ail the lands i G orgia in that quarter, kis riot denied l. l the line was laid down by a perl of our vvnd< legation in Congre s, and we are u e -j llow tout ihcy would not knowingly, have wronged us out of our territory. Should it turn tint they have been mistaken th bonu to ocure our limits is ..s good ugamst Uie ci ncral Government as before. Huh regard to the ground taken as a re; - it for anulhng Uie Treaty at the Indian . ings, we are not left in ignorance. It is .at aMedged that it is mure corrupt than otin r ■ ndi.in treaties. Bribery of the Cr.ielt lias become a part of the syslem|of the Oovirn- ment, in making Treaties with the Indi n tribes. Mr. Barbour’s attempt to avoid it in the late Treaty, was not only awkward, hut entirely unsuccessful. But the objection made to the Oid Treaty rests not on corrup tion. It is alledged to have been mnd with Indians, incompetent to convey the lands; and this alone, is urged agnins! it. How far this ground is thought to be sustainable, let the vote of both brandies of Congress testify How meagre is the support to the Old, or the opposition to the New Treaty. We rannot for a moment, suppose this unanimity could have been procured in carrying on a measure who-e object was only aggression and injury to Georgia! Look at the votes taken on this subj ct, and it is in vain to think, w rong or nppressi >n to Gi oraia as intended ; far less a violation of th.- Constitution of the United St tes. We may cry that we are trampled on, and ground to the earth; but none will be found to believe.—ls there no guard to ‘he Constitution, but the Georgia Delegation ? None to hear our wrongs, when they urge them in the H tils of the National Legisla ture > Could they persuade none to join their standard, not even their vice-president, Van E iron > Tis vain to shut our eyes to Truth and Justice. Resolved, That we view all attempts to sur vey tin Lands, under the Old Treaty, as in tend'd to accomplish no other jmrpost but to keep up the unhappy feuds amongst us, for electioneering purposes. Resolved. That this meeting present their hanks to Cos!. Beaton, of the Senat of the United States, for the noble and patrioiic manner, in which, at a time “eminently rriti r if,” he threw the weight of his character in the scale of our rights. Reside That wc vietV with disapproba tion the frauds projected by Ridge and Van, nd v.hich have furnished additional proof, :t :H Indi n Chiefs, when they have it in " Ir power, ar disposed to w rong their Na tion ; and we highly approve the course adopt ed by the Committee of Conference to pre vent it. Resolved, That our acquiescence in the \ re t, is confirmed'by an utter hope- It suess ;• '.t the Old one can he revived, and from a ('ll!! hi lief, thai .f any of our Lands in tli Creek Territory shall lie without the l> > ,n --dary of the acquisition, the most speedv mea sures will b tek n to dd it to our Territory. for the statesman. uwßir. This abominable no tice of spec ulation and oppression, is, under tbe present pressure of the times, deeply ft throughout the country, and the injuries resulting from it, both to in dividuals and the community, are •*o numerous to count. To attempt a recital of it mischievous effects, even in this county, would too far exceed my present limits to intro duce it here—l shall, therefore, brief ly noti e its general tendency, and prescribe the relief. The usurer cannot be considered in any oth. r light, than an enemy to Ihe oppr ssed, a destroyer of th< needy, and a direct violator of the I vv , for, that many honest plan ters are defraud and out of their honest and laboured earnings, and themselves and families brought to abject want, by the usurer, are facts too notorious t be controverted ; and it is equally true that, ton frequently. th». neatly fall victims to their shylockish op pression. The usurer is a violator of the law, for the law, in effect, for bids usury, and once there was a se vere penalty affixed to Violators of ihe usury law ; —but the Legislature of 1322, enacted, that no forfeiture -hould be incurred on account of u sury further than that of legal inte rest, and this act of the Legislature has had a tendency to encourage the evil, rather than to check it, for now the u-urer can he ihe more open in shifts and tricks, as “the penalty incurred by him, if h should be de t cterl, is inconsiderable, it being the loss of legal interest only. Since the act, above mentioned, favoring, in some degree, the pretensions of u -ucers. the evil has become more ex pansive, and their ranks have been enlarged. But happily for the op pressed, there is relief to he found in the courts of law and equity ; so that iflhe usurer is dealt with according to his deserts, he cannot recover from the object of his oppression, more than his principle and legal in terest. As the surest method of subvert ing the evil would be to take advan tages of it, both at law and equity, it is expected tiiat the o[q*ressed in thi regard, wi’d avail themselves of the privilege. There is no doubt, but that a court oi law or equity, will de cree money over-paid, on an usur ious contract, to he accounted for, notwithstanding the oppressed party to allow such payment, and all above ' gal interest, equity will assist the borrower to retain, it not paid, or an efion will lie, to recover back the urplu if the whole h?s be n paid. The law-books are full upon ttie sub ject of usury, and in my conception, it would be a matter highly interest ing, and beneficial to the communi ty, for all the laws on this subject to be published. In conclusion, I advise my fellow citizens to avoid as much as possible, the destructive consequences of usury and in all cases of unnecessary usurious oppression, defeat the usurer if pos sible, which will he the most certain method of abolishing the > vil, or soft riing the fiinted hearts of that class of meil.—For instance, if a usurer holds your note on an usurious can tract, and you cannot prove the usu ry nt common law, file your bill in equity, and compel him to discover the fact, and you will defeat him to a certainty ; or if you have paid oli .lie usurer’s demand, equity, on your roper application, will compel him in refund hack to you all you have paid over and above legal interest Thus, teach the usurer justice, anti tie will gradually come on a parallel with the honest and well meaning part of the community, and, in t meantime, the odious practice, a verted to, will fall into disuse. ANTONIO. From Snowden’* National Advocate. GEORGIA. It was generally expected tlat the recent treaty between the U. States Government and the Creek tribes in Georgia, would have been acceded to in silence by the powerful party interested. The disclosure of the Senate s executive proceedings lias -hown the strong vole by which it passed that branch of the Genetn! Government. It appears, however, that many of the inhabitants of Geor gia are indignant at Hie small section ot land which the Creeks would not consent to quit. Several of the news papers in that part of the country, have expressed themselves in the warmest terms. The opinions thus put forth by hot-headed editors have been imputed to all the citizens of Georgia. This is wrong. It will he .sufficient time to press upon them with some severity of r mark, when there is better reason to suppose that the whol State of Georgia would deliberately disregard a treaty which bad sanctioned in the U. States Senate by such a large vote. The -pirit and temper of the Georgians are not the same kind that slumber iri the bosoms of the north. They speak oftner with an intcrnperati warmth than they permit themselves to act. The tone cf society is more youthful, and therefore assumes the appearance of more indiscretion. But their natural sagacity and good sense will always form a check upon the warmth of their feelings. They will talk familiarly about resistance, when perhaps it is furthercst from their thoughts. Their public writings assume the character of their conversation, and their conversation possesses ;d! the warmth and haste of convivial hours. Northern political critics must under stand these tiling- before they should pronoun* e sentence upon the higii minded Georgians. They will storm, and talk, and abuse, and alter the hurricane is over, quietly sit down to eat their dinner among themselv.es. They have no concealm nts in th ir nation; every feeling is thrown off as it rises in the bosom. They may he offended at the obstinad) of the Creeks, in still p rsisting to reserve some of (heir lands, hut after the heat and fever oft he moment is over, they will certainly set their negroes to work on that section which th treaty has given them. Wc mu-r have something more than word before we can believe the Georgians contemplate rebellion. A few days ago, a young man ol rather plerv-iiu- address, Kent into ,t public house in town, and called for pint of ale, ti lling the landlord how - ever, that he had no money to pay lor bis beverage, but that while tie was drinking it, he would disclose to him a secret of much more value than the trifiing refreshment of which he was partaking. “You must koon then.” said lie, „ l have had the misfortune to he confined in tii house of correction at Wakefield, where l was subjected to the discip line of the tread mill, and where 1 learnt (and tLis is the secret 1 wish to communicate to you, for your gov ernment, if ever' you should conn into that situation) that the plan nearest the wall is by fa r the most easy and so saying he drank ofi his liquor, wishing his host a good mormng. —Leeds F.ng.
