){ iuse of Representatives, or that Mr. Colili w n .1 iiif.ul> r of tin: Senile, tint branch of tin: National Legislature which b.isthu pow- of ratifying treaties? who would believe alter wli.it “ An Old Georgian" has said, that illi* treaty was concluded only three or four days before the adjournment of Con gress,* and that Mr. Colili belongs to the 11 iusc of Representatives, which h is nothing lo do with the ratification of treaties ? How any clamour whic h Mr. Cohh could raise, could 11 pro note the views of his IViend Mr. i'i jiviorJ, by diminishing tin: confidence re- pnsed in the President,! confess myself una ble to determine, lor I have never heard that dr. Crawford had the must distant idea of opposing Mr. Minnie, at the approaching c ; . lion, except from some of that gentle- man's m ist inveterate enemies; hut with wli.it industry and motives they have circu lated this report throughout the land, I know 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 ihc Secretary in the sibsequent part of hi; , e f dim* not say exju-jet what r.ll these re solutions relate to, hut nun their dates, uei tiler nl them could havibcen tile protest and 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 dians sincij the year 1814.” It might per 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 monstrance he forwarded to the President of the United States, one to the Senate of the United States, one to the House of Repre sentatives, and one to each of the Members ,.r r,«- 8 .gj. sre-,. ,.n tgii tne Members of Congress from this shite b* requested to make use of the necessary ex ertions for carrying into effect the obi cts of this remonstrance.” What agency the Go- 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 ons were approved by the Governor on the ■ — Gn uu 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 se* succested ir» your tetter ; mark the ex pression, 44 in vour leHer" not su^ested hy the memorial mid remonstrance, not «np- iteAtc*! by the legislature, of Georgia* hut “in your letter of the 19th of January. —- 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 1st of March, in which he says, “ I nave had the honor of receiving your Excellency s let ters of the 19th and *Oth January last, with th*‘ir enclosures, consisting of copies of reso lutions of the f xegidaturc of the state of Geor gia, approved on the nth of Dccem»>er, tZ 18— of other resolutions of the same Legislature approved on the loth of Dec. 181®, to* ***■ * I have not the treaty before me, hut it h quota*! in the remon«trance of ture a* bearing date the 27th n **5 r ' . ’ Jtaud Congress adjourned Ofl the 3d ®l yiftfwl- iliuns of the Izvgidafire to which it reft*,,.

How the editors of the Journal obtained the inform tion, except from the d iti s of the niAoliitons mentioned bv Mr. Adams, I am not ajprised, but I find they have added this nob to the fist sentence of the letter, quoted a bps’e—“The communica tion here reier, M ] to relates to the claims of t te citizens of this tfate for property taken * ,, dians.“ (|f the request should not he thought improper, the Editors of the Journal would ohlijr me hy stating how they »>ht.uned the iolojn ltion contained in this note.) For the pirposc of observing more clearly (if further |roof he wanting) that the • governor did no/ ransmit to the President toe copy of the. nemorial of the Legislature, which hy the resdution of that body he was hound t*i do, I Iw; leave to ax tract the whole °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 -’ Ith of April HO:, with the state of Geor 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 nor send on these documentsat an earlier day r Why did he delay until he. had every reason to believe uw session of Congress was draw ing to a close ? • Why did lie. write to Mr. Adams on the 19th and 20lh of Jatmarv,nnd r.ui to cor fnr ,w. : »rty | w «. months thereafter ?

() n the 13th of December, the commttec on the state of the republic re ported and recommended the course pointed 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 husinri., in the very outset of his spe 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 der whirl: he acted in bringing the subject 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. June 10, 18i0. for Titr. itEconnru.
