That tiie very considerable power in his hands
<jf affecting the interests of the Slate lias been
prostituted to purposes unworthy in themselves
(.ml foreign from the objects of his appointment
That in the opinion of this Legislature, objects
of private interest, and purposes arising in the
strife of State politics have mainly iiitliieiireil
and governed iiis conduct; and that he lias hence
been either tin advocate or the opponent of the
leg Ins of this state, as those rights have happen,
ed m m time to time to coincide with or stand
opposed to the private advantage of him or.his
friends, and his political predilections; to Which,
iu the opinion of this Legislature, he lias long been
and now is willing to sacrifice the intern.ts ot
the G cue. ia I Government add the happiness and
soitV.ty iTf’the Crock Indians. Thai his continu
ance iti olfice hitherto lias been and hereafter-
u ill he greatly to the injury of this state, mid that
the confidence of a large part of the Creek Na

that it would hereafter bo impossible for him Ur
tidminister and superintend their affairs to their
adiautHge and comfort, even if he was dispose d

The Editor of a Noyv-Vdrk papdr in
sists tlint the General Government was
under nn obligation to get the Greek lands
for this State, dnd argues tints ; the com
pact IxUwren the United Htutea ritld the
State of Georgia for the purchase of the
Creek lands, by the former for tile tiie of
the lutlcr, was precis tonal only—-it contem
plated the consent of the Indians to sell
their lands, and they having imbibed a
taste for the pursuits of eiyili/,ed life, and
having over and over again solemnly pro
tested they Would never consent to a.sale,
the l’. States were absolved from their ob
ligation to make the purchase! Indeed!
But how did the United States treat the
miserable Seminole?, when their lauds
vvero wanted by the Government ? Were
not these people compelled to sell, and dri
ven, much against their will, from the fer
tile and beautiful country around Talla
hassee to the wretched one of Tampa May,
which is believed not to he fit for the ha
bitation of any human being t and which
a number of these Indians have recently
abandoned as inhabitable, throwing them
selves within the territory ceded to Geor
gia hy the late treuty.

Governor tn purchase Portraits of General
Washington, Gen. Lafayette, Thomas Jef

thorpe, to have them elegantly framed and
placed conspicuously in the Senate, Re

The resolutions offered hy Mr. Myers
and agreed to in both branches’of the Le
gislature nre calculated to elicit inforifinti-
on of an interesting and important diame
ter. The Justices ofthe Inferior courts to
n horn this duty is confided, will take plea
sure we doubt not in executing it proper
ly. Such of tb’em as do so will render a
service to the state and deserve the thanks
of their fellhw-ciu/ciis. By calling to
their assistance some ofthe most intelligent
mtWi in each county, the Justices of the
Courts will in part relieve themselves from
the labour, and be enabled to make more
perfect reports than they could otherwise
he expected to do.

Dear Chilly—By Morty we inform you that
either the l liemkucs or sctine of the hostile! are
doing considerable mischief on Flint river ; this
week past, there has been in a party of Indians
and stole as many as five horses from the w bites,
of which the white people and some of our Imli-
uus are now in pursuit of them ; they have gone
towards the Cherokee Nation. Alter arriving
at New unit, we concluded to send out broken
days to all of our friends in the Nution, to meet
at M a Springs on the loth of this month, agreea
ble to a previous notice—we have particularly
required all tn come, who intends joining us—
the hosliles are still doing all the harm lo us t bey-
run—they have di iv’en off' some of Roily’s cattle,
and killed a good many cattle and hogs.—
It appeal s that they are disposed to dejtipv eve
ry thing, and leave us hare of any thing—As for
the quantity of slock destroyed, it is notascer-
Mim'd, blit considerable. It is necessary for us
to semi you word what the hosliles me determin
ed tn do, (tlmt is) if w e dmil immediately go Imnn
to iiie Nation, that they intend enniiua after it*
and have us tied by whit, people nil carried
home—von know wciilust lie very fi aid of that.
We intend sending one or two turn' to visit their
faceting «* Broken Arrow, with our justification
in writing, why we have taken the steps we have.
When we left you, there was tilt understanding
for n party of us to go and drive in Roily's rattle,
but die meeting at the bprincs is so near, that w
have postponed it until alterwards. Nothing
more until we sec you at tin Sjirings.
Ifyou have received any further news frtml tlie
President nr the Governor of Georgia, you
please forward it, us it will give us considerable
satisfaction.
We arc yours as usual. &r.

cause to believe that the above statement oftlw-

Monroe County, 0Ih June, 1825.
Dear Sir—I have only time now to sny
to you. that great alarm and danger exists
amongst the people about the Springs at
this time. Three to four Indians were
en last night by Squire Robert. E. Mar
tin, latent’Greensboro’, passing repeatedly
nr omul his house. T.his is the !i also o c-
upied hv General McIntosh during the
Spring Treaty. To-day again, five or xi\
wore seen within a mile and a half of the
prings hy n .Mr. Strahan, a respectable
mail, creeping in the woods. The ahum
first occurred there on Sunday night, pro,
during much noise mid disturbance a
inonst the dogs, to the annoyance of the
people’s repose. The Chiefs on Monday
received ituitnation of the danger from the
friendly party at N’ewnnn, dated on Stm-
Iny, saving that the hosliles would come
in find have the offending Chiefs tied by
their while friends, taken linek nnd killed.
Their view ostensibly is to kill Chilly Mc
Intosh and Col. Miller. The whites iu the
neighbourhood tire also iu grunt alarm,
particularly women ti ml children, the wonk
minded, ami cowardly.
They nre now Ibrtunatoly too late, how
ever great their antleipitled:-support from
white person?. I am myself immediately
marching, ottr Regiment also are advised
of the alarm, and volunteers ai'O Concen
trating, sufficient perhaps to afford imme
diate protection. Jhi! it is rather a singu
lar contingency—no danger feared to the
whites, and much doubtless intended our
red friends. Under these circumstance*
the certainly or contiilunntle perhaps of
their protection by the whites here, except
relative to their own safety and quiet, may
not be lasting or effectual. But if the
hostiles kill them, they will have to kill a
few white-men tit least: this w ill open the
eyes of nil to their regardless acts.
In great haste, yours trnlv,
w. it. Ector.

Inti I think something due to tiie stale of Ueyig.s.
in vvhkii 1 have resided many vea-s, nnd tuoi'i-

It is attempted by Governor Troup to nrrtnso

till ithers w lin may lake an interest iu this matter,
to forbeai forming opinions in this case, till time

from the government ofthe l.'nited Stales is nmv
here, eon, iiissinned with full powers lo examine
itonil tnyeirennistnaces connected with it and
report to hi. government. I’ltis is the Correct
Course, and I do not fear the result.
I do not imitate Governor Tump nud some of
ltisx iolent pHi ti/nns in their iminitt of accusation
rimv seem determined that the responsibility of
Mciiitosh’* de-ith, shall fall on the slionldcrs of

tn a fearful reckoning, and Iiis emissaries among
tin' Indians will not lie able to conceal the cxcitc-
meit, caused liv Iiis improper Interference in the
affairs uf the Creek Nation.
With regard to tiie dCatli of McIntosh, I nut
unwilling for the pdoplcto lie without the means
of judging nf its entt'e. 1 therefore offer at this

Kir : As a great excitement appears to be
produced lit what has lately taken place among
the ((reek Indians, I feel it a duty I owe the pub
lic and the United States Agent, tn make this com
munication In you. During the treaty held in
December. I was frequently nt the council. Gen.
McIntosh having satisfied the Indians that he
did not intend selling their land) appeared to gain
their confidence, and was appointed to deliver
tiie answers to the Commissioners. A few days
before the treaty ended a daughter of tint Gener
als, who was living with os, informed us that the
Indians w ere going to kill her father, and in con
sequence of which he went off in the night.—
Wishing to know the truth, I enquired nf a
w him nmn who was raised in the nation, a friend
ofthe Generals, vGiOinfurmrd me that tiierevvere
live hundred Indian* that night to kill him for
offering to sell their land. Since I have been
aiming them, they have shewn themselves friend
ly to the white people, neither do I believe they
will hurt any white person. 1 do not believe
that the Agent was the enttse of the dentil of
those that were killed, nor do 1 believe he coal
have prevented it. It was the enforcement nf
their own laws. made in part by the men who
have lust their lives. The chiefs gay the United
.States grant them the iiiicrty of making laws to
govern themselves hy.
1 am, sir, very respectfully, vours,
ISAAC SMITH.
P. S. We were present w hen the Agent met
the Indians in council. 22d April; when he in
formed them ofthe ratification of the treaty, he
advised (ItCUV to reconcile their minds to the sale
of the land, that lie hud done all he rniilil for them
to hiiVelhe money divided tls formerly, lie advis
ed the (.'hipfs to instruct their young men to lie
friendly to the whites, and not hi interrupt those
" Lo were pacing through the nation. The Ut
ile Prince then replied tlmt they hud been so.
that there laid been no iiitennptitJns. The Agent
answered lie was glad dial it was so, for lie had
not heard of any disturbance whatever.
