ble to determine, lor I have never heard that

full well. But whether Mr. Crawford or Mr.
A lums is to lie the successor of .Mr. Munroe,
and whether the one is to lie elected by the
clamor of Mr. Cohh, or the other liy the
exertions of our no less clamorous Gover
nor? are questions perfectly irrevrlant to th
subject now under discussion, which is an
examination of the pretensions of his Excel-
Vncv to the credit of having urged the claims
of Georgia oil the general government. By
a rt ference to the journals of the House of
Representatives uf the last Legislature, it
will he discovered, that almost ns si as the
House was organized, to wit, on the .Id day

remonstrance on t'- s«,ct of the. treaty of
cession, for it will he eeolh-cted that, that
instrument with the niohitiuni attached to
it, was approved on He * id of Ipnmhcr.—
riie last sentence in tie Secretary’s letter,
throws some further iglit on this subject ;
it is this, “ In relation o the subject of vour
h ttef of the 1 Pth ofJnnury, and tile rexo-
of November, the day previous to the tii
vernor’s election, Mr. T. I. Moore of Greene
county gave notice, that lie would “ mov
for the appointment of a joint committee, to
take into consideration the propriety of re
inoiistrating with the general government on
the subject of tile treaty of cession helm
the state of Georgia and the general govern
ment.” What influence Gen. Clark had, nr
how far Mr. Moore acted as the instrument,
agent, or friend of the General in this hu«i-
in s.i. those who have any knowledge of the
parties can readily answer. I have said Ge
neral Clark in contradistinction to Governor
Clark, fur it must lie recollected lie was not
then Governor. Oi the Bill of November,
i: was “on motion of Mr. Gilmer, resolved,
Tint the Governor be requested to lay be-
f ire the House of Representatives, the seve
ral treaties made between the United States
sad the (’reek and Cherokee nations of In

haps h-- worthy of enquiry, to asrertam wlie-
l r this resolution is well a« the. others which
will he hereafter noticed, offered by the tame
K'nUe -mu, were the offspring of the Gover
nor. Immediately after Mr. Gilmer’s reso
lution, .Mr. Moore. called up the resolution
he had laid on the table on the Btl; and a
committee consistingd'f Messrs. T. I. Moore,
Booth, Campbell, Long, Gilmer. Blair and
f’oroy, was appointed to “join such as may
die appointed by the Senate, to take into con
sideration the propriety of remonstrating
with ton general government uu the subject
ffvf ths» of oowiftn ” %jr H’p \ com-
inittee was also appointed on the part of the
Senate, and on the 10th of lWembs-r, Mr.
Campbell from this joint committee presen
ted to the House of Representatives their
report in the shape of a memorial and rt-
monstrance, which “ was unanimously con
curred in. It was, then on motion of Mr.
Gilder, Resolved, “ That a copy of this re

vernor had thuvfar, in the transaction of th:
business, I know not, hut fro.n the silence of
the journals, and a knowledge of the persons
who appear to have been most active in ori
ginating it, T am constrained to believe he
bad none. This remonstrance and resoluti

r< ferrid to the eat.iwntli e on the state of the) kt. having excited some feeling, it is proper
repu lie; the committee of remonstrance | to state in the like unqualified terms, that al-
tld Decertiber. On the passage of these re
solutions, it immediately became the duty of
the Governor el the agent of the Legislature,
or as its executive officer,to forward this me
morial and remonstrance lo the dilleri.nl
per ions designated in the resolutions. \V ith
wh it promptitudo this duty was performed,
I shall now enquire. The fit st intimation we
have relative to the Governor’s subsequent
iirosrcntion of this his/oron/e measure, is to
be found in the Georgia Journal of the Itli
of April, in the following letter from the Se
cretary of State, Mr. Adams, to Ilia Excellen
cy, hearing date the 21st of March, (only 11
days before it was published in the Journal.)
*' Sir, I have now the honor of enclosing the
message to Congress, hy which the Presi
dent has recommended an appropriation for
the purposes suggested in your letter of the
19th of January. ’ It seems then that the
Governor wrote tolhi! Secretary on the 19th
of J inuetry. Mr. Cobb’s speech was deli
vered on the 17th of Mon k, af d the lull pas-
red the House of Representatives the next
day, v'«. the Ifith of March. Mr. C“bb says,
ro the note to his speech that ‘ J't'ce the
passage of the bill by the House of Iicp i
r-ntatives, containing the appropriation mo
ved hr Mr. C. a copy of the memorial, Kc.
has been transmitted by the Governor to '
S-'nature .and IL preseiiUtives, and lo C on-
c ess ” The copies of the remonstrance dot
not reach our Members anil the two Houses
of Congress then before the tilth of March, it
,o soon os that, being at least two months af
ter llm data of hit letter to Mr. Adams. I
have been thus particular as to dates, to give
the people a fair view of the conduct of lu*
Excellency.
Before I proceed further, I would fainknow
of the Governor, (through his Secretary of
Tourer) at whit tim*» was the memon.il of
the i*epislaturr wnt to the President, was it
X' f forty afftr, or rit the .name time with the co-
lues sent to our tt r prt tentative* ami to Com-
crest ? or wa-< it ev< r sent ? Front the tenor
of Mr. Adams’ letter, it appears very evident
to me, that tli<* nieiuoriai had not reached
the President previous to the date of that let
ter, k. from other circumstances,! doubt wvr •
ther he hn even receive*! it since. The Se
cretary of State says* “ the Presi*l«*nt has re-
commend«‘d an appropriation for the purpo

Again, in the («.*“orpia Journal of the 21st ot
March, may he found another letter from Mr.
Adams to the (Jo'crnor, under date of the

°l ^* s niessage t.. Congress. 44 It Ix'ing sti
pulated hy the 4,li article of the articles of
Agreement and cession, entered intoon the

gia, that the Unfed States should, at their
expense iftinguish for the use. of that
state, as soon ** might be done, on reasona
ble terms, the Indian title to all lands within
its limits ; and die Legislature of Georgia be-
in? desirous o* making a further acquisition
of said land-* j.t this time, presuming that it
may he done in reasonable terms ; and it be
ing also repwenti d that property of consi
derable vatu*, which had been taken by the
Creek and Cherokee Indians from citizens
of Georgia, the restoration of which had been
provided for bj different treaties, but which
Wi never been made, it is proposed to hold
i treaty with those nations, and more parti
cularly with the Creeks in the com sc *»f this
summer, for the attainment of these objects.
! submit the subject to tiie consideration of
Congress, that a sum adequate to the ex
pense attending such treaty, may be appro
priated, should Congress deem it expedient.* 1
This message is dated or* the 17th of March,'
and there is not the most distant allusion in
it to the remonstrance of the Legislature.—
From these facts I am warranted in the con
clusion, that the President never received tin*
copy of the memorial until after his message
to Congretfl, if indeed he has received it at
all. This was the day also on which Mr.
Cobh's speech was delivered, when lu* had
not hcr.rd mnm»»rir| (nor IkmI r»*v of
our other members) except through the me
dium of th<» nubile print*, or private com
munications, but despairing of their arrival,
knowing tile wishes of his constituents on the
subject, and having waited till the last stage
of the appropriation hill, ho determined to
bring it forward. Why did not the Gover

commttec on the state of the republic re

out by his Excellency. On the 18th ho ap
proved of their resolutions ; these are the re
solutions which he forwarded to the Presi
dent in his letter to Mr. Adams of the 19th
of January; these he considered as his legi
timate oil spring, and therefore first entitled
to his care and protection. But as this mea
sure originated with Mr. Stocks, the Gover
nor but aukwardly “struts forth bedecked
with borrowed or surreptitious plumage.**—
By writing to the Secretary of Stale, and
forwarding the resolutions which proceeded
•Ihi Would w Mi the public to htlitlVc] from
his communication by withholding the me
morial reported by the committee of remon
strance, and by giving immediate publicity
to the reply of Mr. Adams to his letter of the
19th of January, together with the message
of t he Preside nt, in which his favorite reso
lutions were alone alluded to, he evidently
labored to keep every one blit himself out of
view in this transaction. He no doubt be
lieved the delegation in Congress having
knowledge of the existence of this memorial,
and the resolution directing them to be fur
nished with copies, and to use their exertions
to carry it into effect, would not act on th*'
subject lie fore their reception, and could he
have succeeded bv means of the letter and
resolutions which he sent to Mr. Adams, in
bringing the subject before Congress with
out the knowledge of our representatives,
and while they were awaiting the arrival of
the documents of the Legislature, his object
would hare been completely accomplished.
But unfortunately for the Governor's rising
fame, Mr. Cohh, in a luckless hour, despair
ing of ever receiving the memorial, brings
the subject before Congress. The chagrin
and disappointment of his Excellency on ha
ving his writ concerted plan entirely frustra
ted, when so nearly accomplished, is fullve-
vinced by the miserable cries of stop thief!
stop thief! from biswell known friend, the
Old Georgian. U another proof be o anting
of the Governor's intention to take to him
self the whole credit of thin transaction, look
at the first communication of 44 an Old Geor
gian** for, 44 out of his own mouth will I con-
demn him.** He observes 44 that whether a
knowledge on the part of Mr. Cobb that one
of xUvfirst acts of Governor Clark’s admi
nistration wa«, to urge the just claims of
Georgia, on this and other subjects long ne
glected,*’ &c. kc. not a word here about the
memorial and remonstrance of the Legisla
ture, but in his second number, finding the
subject had excited investigation, ho toll* us
the Governor 44 had pressed the claims of
Georgia on the notice of the President of the
l/niiod States, icith the memorial and remon-
str iMice.” If the Governor has done > o, let
it he shewn to the public, together with the
>ime when il ueu done. So tar I'roin Mr.
eh lie

e,p-e.,|y n.-b ne-.vtedeeu the proceedings of
the Legislature of Georgia, which lie luid
seen in the public prints, as the authority un

before Congress. If there be any thin- “ in
the time and the cirrnmstnnrps under which
hi< »|>ecc!i was made” that will convict him
of the charge of attempting to cheat the Go
vernor ofliis fame? I leave the public to de
termine on the above statement of facts. A
word or two to “ An Old Georgian” hiin-
~.tr .... I t I ,t t .ill,,., » rcn.
cst imputation of dishonor. Hut his moli
as they present themselves to inv view, arc
so plain and obvious, that in justice to the
Legislature of Georgia, in jmtice to onr
members in Congress generally, and in jua
ticc to Mr. Cobb in particular, I am constrain
ed to expose them to the public view. It is
well known that Governor Clark hr.i turn
laboring for the appointment, he now holds
for many years, and having dually succeed
ed, he saiv the necessity of doing something,
to give stability to hir yet tottering greatness.
With too little intellect to originate any tiling
himself, he yet has cunning enough to endea
vour to appropriate to himself the credit of
the labor of others. Rotas often happens,
his over anxiety to succeed lias been the ve
ry means of his detection. His greediness
for fame led to the publication of the lien let
ters from tile Secretary ofState, Mr. Adams,
hut for these the public might have- believed
that he had forwarded the memorial and re
monstrance of the Legislature to the |*resi-
dent, nnd might have ascribed the delay
whifth attended the transmission of the rnpii i
intended for our Representatives, to some ir
regularity in the mail; but for these, the pub
lic would not have discovered that these do
cuments weld carefully u-ith-heU, and the
resolutions of the Legislature on a subject
somewhat similar ns carefully sent n.i to the
l’rcsidcut, the credit of originating which, he
no doubt takes to hints. If; it has at least
been given to him by “ An Old Georgian.”
The subject lo which I allude, is contained
in a resolution laid on the table of the Senate
at the last session of tile Legislature, on the
loth of November, by Mr. Stocks from the
county of Greene. The object of this reso
lution, was to call the attention of the gene
ral government, by memorial, to the subject
of the claims of the citizens of this state for
property raptured from them since the year
1 777, by the Creek and Cherokee Nations
of Indians, and for other purposes. This
resolution was referred to tile committee
on the state of the republic. In the course
of the same day, but after this resolution
was introduced, the Senate were informed
that the House of Representatives had ap
pointed a committee of remonstrance ; the
Senate then appointed on their part Messrs.
Thompson. Ryan, Stocks, Thwcatt ts. Mil-
ton, to join this committee from the House.
The next day Mr. Stocks so amended bis
resolution as to have it referred to the com
mittee of remonstrance. This subject then
was fairly before the Legislature, and in a
train to lie acted on. Bui before the com
mittee made any report on the subject, viz.
Outlie Ttli of Dec. (with how much delica
cy or respect for the legislature, I will not
pretend to say,) the Governor mines out
with a Homing communication to the Legis
lature on this identical subject, the pretext
for which i« ernothrr li tier from tin- honora
ble Secretary of State Mr. Ailam«, produ
ced hy resolutions passed at the previous ses
sion on the memorial of Col. Burnett, lie
recommends the appointment ofCominis-
siouers to treat for Ihe cession of territory mil
the adjustment of these claims against the
Indians. This communication, embracing
as will be seen, partly the same objects con-
tained in the resolution of Mr. Stocks, was
cry NATIVE GEORGIAN.
ron rnr. sui riiixs r.rcor.orn.
Having rend the pieees of the “ Native
Georgian's” nnd the “OldGeorr;hiii”iri rela
tion to the subject of an evtingnishm"nt of
Indian title Inlands within the limits of Geor
gia. and the claims ofonr citizens against the
Indians for piuj.ertj taken, 1 determined
for my own satisfaction to investigate tbc
facts—the result of whk'h I !v g leave to
make public, under the heli. f that it will af
ford others the same satisfaction as myself,
and enable them to form a correct opinion
on the subject.
The foiiowing s'atement of facts may be
relied upon with the utmost confidence, and
can, if necessary, b- supported by the nm.it
incontrovertible testimony.
Il appears that on the |9th January ulti
mo, Generals John M-lntosh. David Adams,
and David Meriwether were, hy tile Execu
tive appointed Commissioner* under a reso
lution of the last Legislature, to procee d un
der the directions of the f'residcat, to de
mand satisfaction of the Indians for proper
ty taken. Which subject w as considered as
having so intimate a connection with that of
an extinguishment of Indian title to lands for
Georgia, that they were at the same time
earnestly pressed by titc Governor upon the
attention of the President, and it was urged
that the above named Commissioners ap
pointed on the part of this state, being men
in wbom the utmost reliance could Im plac
ed, the interest* of the general government
would be as well promoted hy investing the
same persons with the authority of the I nit-
rd States, as by appointment of additional
Commissioners.
(In theS.ld of Fe'iruary, the subject was
again brought to the notice of the President,
and it wss thought possible, that the Com
mission recommended hy the Executive
being all Georgians, it might give rise to a
belief tluit it would lie improper for them a-
lone to negotiate with the fodims. The
name of Gen. Andrew Jackson was menti
oned to (be President, as one, who woukl
have men- «ci;.m k» .. Cwg'iwissioner vvith
the Indians than any other individual. It n
underdhod that the general would have been
readily selected by tile President, but for
two coMderations— one “a very strung and
earnest regard of Gen. Jaekson himself to
the President, tliat he might for the future
he exttapled from Elis s[-cries of service,
and tli other, that a similar » Wi for the ap
pointment of Gen. Jackson hav ing been ina-
uifestiii Irum the slate of Mississippi, had
alreaAr been overlooked from the same mo
tive if acquiescence in the general’s vv slu-s.”
Ai<appointment lias however been made
by ttzs President, of Col. John Taylor, of S.
Canjna, and Gen. John Kloydof Georgia,
as ctz imissionrrs.on the part of the U. S.
•u eb ler 0 f whom no objection* i.m Is
mad*. Those gentlemen will he specifically
instre-tad hy the general government “ to
co-op*no,, w ith the state commissioners in
pronp-’mg to thr extent ofllu ir powers, th-
mli-rztt and views of the*; ate.”
The transiui-.sioo of the remonstrance of
l i- L-;i,latere to the general goverun-eut,
though there was no particular request hy
resolution or otherwise, to the Gov eruor to
forward the remonstrance, it was notwith
standing forwarded to the President, to our
Members in Congress, &, to the two branch
es of the National Legislature on the 10th
of March last, which was considered in due
time to answ er every valuable purpose,which
roultl have been effected by its earlier recep
tion, and which was ill fact more than two
months before the adjournment ofCongress.
If the object of the remonstrance lias so far
been effected in a milder course, where is
the injury? And that such is the fact, there
cannot ho a doubt.
It will thus he perceived that no industry
has been w anting, or no pains spared by the
proper authority in the preferment or advo
cation of our claims to the general govern
ment, and that they are now in a fair way
for a complete and satisfactory adjustment.
In conclusion, I must be permitted to re
mark, I do not w ish to lie understood as ta
king part with either of the writers—my ob
ject being simply to state the facts as I have
found them to exist, after a thorough inves
tigation. INVESTIGATOR.

The Old Georgian sat down to reply to
that slanderous compound of perversion,
rage and impotence, vented hy the last Na
tive ; he intended lo endeavor to convince
him, that the only charge with which he set
out against Mr. ( ol>h, is fully establish--.! by
th« facts and circumstances; he intended to
propose to him a few questions, touching the
grounds and foundation of his expressed
< reed relative to r-sneral Mitchell, nu-J the
smuggled Afrirans; and whether that moni
tor, which he says he carries in Ids bnast
does not till him, that he has therein pro
nounced a gross libel upon “ Seven tenths of
tile people in tile section of the slate where
lie lives.” But recollecting tliat this native
bad “ pledged himself that no remarks from
the Old Oeorgian, however so severe, Str
kv. should elicit a reply before the public,”
and notwithstanding the latitude indulged in
by him in many instances, he deemed it un
generous to attempt to provoke him to m-
uent falsi liooj; convinced of the impractir
bilily of convincing a man against his will;
and moreover, believing that the cobbing
which the Natives have so uumercifully in
dieted upon the whole of our Representation
in Congress for eighteen years past, as well
as the last Legislature, quite sufficient for all
the faults they may have committed, and
that the people may think that they have

STORM NF.AK CAMDEN !
A letter from Camden, dated 27th ult.
mentions that the evening previous, be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock, that neighbor
hood had been visited by a vioient Storm
of Wind and Hail, from the N. W. which
proceeding in a vein ofaboutdhree miles
wide, did immense damage in its pro
gress. The Corn ftnd Cotton on the
plantations over which it passed, were
completely destroyed. The plantation
of Mr. Chesnut, 7 miles above Camden,
is stated to have suffered severely.—
loss of.Mr George Strndford, whose plan
tation is sitnated two miles N. W. of Mr.
Chesnut, is estimated at ten thousand
dollar*.
Fortunately Uie Storm (it is stated) did
not pass through, hut skirted the Town
of Camden. 'The ILitil is represented to
have been in large ill shaped lumps, re
sembling broken pieces of bricks, gen
erally of the size c-f a pullet's egg ; but
some as heavy and :is lirgc as that of a
lien. All the glass windows whose shut
ters were not closed, on the north side
of the houses in the range of the Storm,
were broken. The Storm lasted only
about 20 minutes, blit was so extremely
violent, that some persons thought the
Day of Judgment had arrived, and went
to players.—Charleston Gazette.
It appears from the report of the Now
York Sunday School Union Society, that
there arc upvv ards of nine thousand chil
dren. of both sexes, who receive regu
lar instructions at the several Sunday
Schools in that city. By this benevolent
system, what a vast number in that city,
and the United States, have already been
rescued from the grossest ignorauve.
