‘ act to regulate trade and intercourse with the
Indian tribes and to preserve pence on the fron
tier ** and also a copy of an act passed at the
Ja*t session of Congress to provide for the
punishment of crimes a d offences committed
within the Indian boundaries.”
These laws designate the mode by which
trespasses and offences committed by the white
p oplc against the Indians, as well as those
committed by t^ie Indians against the wh tc peo
ple shall be punished. In making vour people
well acquainted with these laws you will ren
der them a great service, for when they are in
formed what offences arc punishable by the law
they wi 1 take care not to commit such, and
when trespasses are comm tted.on them, they
will know what reparation they are u> expect,
and to whom application should be made to ob
tain it. This will have a gnuit effect in pro
moting and preserving that friendship and good
understanding between his white Mini r*d chil
dren which your Father the President has so
much at heart.
You wished also to know ho r far your na
tion would be liab e for the conduct, of your
young warriors who might go over the Spanish
line and join your old enemies, and commit de
predations on the cit zensof the United States.
This is a subject which you should well under
stand, and 1 will explain to you how far your na
tion will be held iable for the conduct of such
persons. If any of your people go over the
Spanish line, join the enemies of the United
States and commit depredations on our citizens,
and you permit them at any time afterwards to
return then we shad hold you I able for their
conduct and reparation for the offences which
they may have committed will be demanded
agreeably to the laws a copy of which 1 have
now given you. But if you cut off from your
nation such evil disposed and crazy people, a* d
do not let them re-urn and live with you then
your Father, the Pres.dent, will not consider
your nation as liable for their conduct
Friends and Brothers—Your Father the Pre
sident does not interfere with the laws and re.
gulavions which his red children may cstab
lisli for the management of their own affairs
iutneir own nation It the/vf -i* must be left to
the discretion of your chiefs and head men as
semblerl in council to determine whether or not they
will permit those people who were hostile to them
during the lute war to return anti live among
them. All that your Father the President re
quires isthat whoever you may permit to live in your
country shall conformin their inter out’se with
our people tothe laws, a copy of which 1 have
given to you on parchment, that they should
lie delivered up to be punished.,or reparation
made agreeably to those laws.
Friends and Brothers—The land which was
girirnntecU to you by the treaty signed by Gen.
Jackson, and your chiefs and head men, on lie;
Cuh of August, 814, is YOUR I. \Nl) and your
father the President who ho ds von and your
nation fast by the hand will take care that no
)avt of it is ever taken from you except by the
Vec consent of YOUR chiefs and head men given
in council and for a vn liable consideration.
Friends pnd Brothers You have been a long
time detained here but I hope you have got all
your business settled to your satisfaction, ami
I now take you by the hand and wish you a
pleasant journey and happy meeting with your
iVicu ls and families.
CFO. GRAHAM
Acting Secretary oflVur:
To \V I l.n A M McVito.su,
Youom Mii co, C Creek Deputation.
. wSKI.RNI.MAU, S
From the Milledgevillc Journal, 3Utll ult.
Gen. McIntosh.— Much has been said about
this Chief, lie has been branded with the
names of traitor villain and all that. It lias
•en asst rtr d that he had no authority to sell
the land, and that in selling it without autlr
rity, lie t oinmitted a fraud on his people, for
wh.ch he justly atoned with his blood.
The following document will shew in what
light McIntosh and his party were viewed by
the General Government so long ago as 18 7
And that his party was large and respectable
we have the authority of the Indiun Agent us
stated in the following extract from the repor
of the Commissioners:
“A reaty could have been obtained, signed
by a full representutio of Chiefs, from all the
tow ns within the limits of Georgia. The pupil
lation contained within these limits, is represen
ted by the Agent, to be about 10,000, and also,
to be one-huff of the whole nation.”—[Colonel
Campbell's Report to the Secretary at li ar—See
published documents page 30. ]
The Commissioners concur in the statement
They no doubt were careful to ascertain the
fact before they stated it in their journal
“We satisfied ourselves that a treaty could
he obtained from the Chiefs within the limits
of i-eovgiu and to the extent of the Georgia
c airn. The basis of such a treaty would Imv
n exchange of tenitory and would have
effected the removal of one-half the nation,
10,0'jU” [ Coinin'rs Journal—See printed ducu
meats ' page i>J ]
li is true Gen. Gaines has discovered that
this es iimite was incorrect. If we ire to rely
on his authority it would seem that the treaty
mak'ng part) consists of but one-fiftieth of the
whole nation.
The reputed hostile party consists of all
the principal Chiefs und nearlyforty-ntuefiftieths
of the whole of the chiefs, head men, and war
riors of the nation.” [G'en. Gaines' letter.
And the War Department it appears has s-
ceruined the exac number of the hostile pur
ty. If 'he statement is intended to include the
whole of I he hostile parly, we would he glad to
be informed what has become of the res' of the
Indians. It was believed in the beginning of
these troubles that the who e nation consisted
of about ‘J0,0Ud souls—and that 10,900 were
disposed to treat, rin other words were of the
McIntosh pally. There is certainly a discrep
ancy ill t.cse several statements, which we
would be g ad to see reconciled.
“The li.dians tothe number of 1890 includ
ing a huge majority of tlieir chiefs and head
men of the tribe have denounced the treaty as
tainted alike with.intrigue and treachery, and
as the act of a small portion of the tribe against
the express determination of a very large mu-
jorit), a determination known to the Commis-
Vi one is. - ’ [Secretary of I far to Gov. Trot/J.]
But to return to the document before spoken
of. Let it be read with attention-We have
p inted in italics and capitals those parts of it
which appear to us to recognize the power and
the right of McIntosh and his party to control
the affairs >f the Creek nation. If this paper
recognized that power the question as to the
validity of the treaty is settled.

It may not h« amiss in discussing this

turc ol the relation iu which the iniliaus

the right of self government ? Or are they
a subordinate people, subjects of the United

its protection ? In what rc.utiun do they

they citizens, denizens, or ulieus, orjuhabi*

depcilt foreign governments over whqiq
Georgia can take no regal or political
trol and consequently to whom the Jopcffv Y.
tiou ot her laws can never be extended ?— v
No doubt can exist, but that their relation
tuone or the other government is anomalous
—so much sp that it is at present, utterly
impossible to give to it a name. Were we
to judge of the relationship from the manner
iu winch tbe United Slates have treated
them, in the exercise of the treaty making
power, they are to all intents and purposes,
us to that Government, a foreign-nation,
because in treaties, they are thus viewed,
und on the part of the United States, the
treaties thus made with them undergo all
the constitutional forms. Whereas the trea
ties or compacts with the States undergo
no such forms inasmuch as the constitution
of the United States, knows of no such thing
as a treaty w ith those who owe it allegiance.
Thus all the treaties with the Indiana are
ratified by the Senate and are deemed void,
until rutified. On the other hand the trea
ty or compact made wit h Georgia iu 1802,
by which a large territory was ceded, under
went no such ratification, nor was it deem
ed necessary—Yet the Indians resident with
in the limits of the United States, are not
deemed vested with the right of power of
forming treaties with other nations than the
Uniled Slates, and incase they phoiilu make
such, they are dceim-d to be utterly void.-**
Nay the strong language of the government
iias repeatedly told them that they were a
.subordinate and dependent people, and that
their own ideas of their independence were
fallacious & must be yielded. 1 have before
me a letter from late Secretary at War, to
Gov. M'Minn agent of the Cherokees, in
which he says, “ it is in vain for the Cher*
•dtees to hold the high tone which they do,
as to tin ir independence as a nation.' There
are many oilier public documents from the
same department tnoue of which i have, but
I well recollect to have read,) in which the
principle is assertained, that they ate. and
ought to be treated os a dependent and
subordinate people. These documents are
easily obtained in case ol'contradiction.
if then they are dependent and subordin
ate, to what government and laws are they
so ? Those of the United States, within
the States, extend only to Federal concern*
having hot few municipal characteristics.-*
To subject them to the operation of tlies*
alone would bo doing nothing, except as re*
speqts such Indiana as may live within the
limits of a territory of the United States.
Arc they subject to the luws and municipal
regulations of tlie StiiUs within whose lim
it.- they nre ? Heretofore faince the adop
tion of tlio Constitution,)!lie Siuies Imv*
not extended the operation of tin ir laws to
them? Are Hey restrained from doing it,
and by what? By the constitution of.the
tins same Joseph Marshall with having 1 United States, and ill what pari ol it? But
defrauded their National Treasury, and
for that reason he is the only one they
excepted in thoir amnesty to the remaining
signers of the Treaty, after the murder
of Gen. MTntosh, Tustunnuggee and
Hawkins. But Gen. Gaines, in his im
pel tiiient letter to the Governor of the
28th ult., after stating the good character
given Edwards by two Clark-men says, “
Joseph Marshall is better known to me. “f
have no doubt “ that he is one of the most
t;i* right Chie fs that ” ever belonged to the
little treaty-makingparty." What a slander
on the character of the brave Gen. McIn
tosh, and of ibe fifty-onc Chiefs and Head
men who with him signed the Treaty!—
What does Gen. Gaines now think of bis
“ upright, Joseph Marshall nnd his “ man
of truth” Mr. Edwards? Who’s the dupe?
These men have bud their reward but
their villainy is detected nnd exposed.—

The validity of the Creek Treaty, the
course pursued by the General Govern
ment in prohibiting the survey of the lands
and the conduct of its Agents and com
manding military officer, are subjects of
arguineni and warm contention in other
states well ns in Georgia.. The National
Journal ( Mr. Adams's official mouth
piece) flies out at the National Intelligen
cer for presuming to copy from the Rich
mond Enquirer the article republished in
our last paper, when this same National
Journal has copied from Gen. Clark's pn
per almost every partial and erroneous
statement which has a ppeared iu it. We
call the paper Gen. Clark's because he
has filed an affidavit claiming the press,
types, &c. as his property.—16.
In the last Journal, Brf.vf.t Major
General Edmond Pendleton Gaines
(sometimes called, from his tardy and
effective movements against the Semin-
oles, Granny Gaines,) htscome out with
another phillippic against Gov. Troup.—
As the election draws nigh, and his friend
General Clark is ascertained to he losing
ground daily, the Brevet Major General
must put his wits in .requisition and issue
his remaining bulletins expeditiously, or
otherwise the allied forces of Clark .Crow
ell, & Co. will be terribly b*At*n. ib
shppose a slate to do t»o in what character
would the Indians como into the compact ?
Ar citizens? Heretofore they were not
deemed such, nnd if they were not, a state
has no power to make them so ? The work
of naturalization, or convening J'oreiiini r#
into citizens is exclusively cmitukd to the’U.
States, thro' gh the instrumentality of imi-
form laics on the subjec t. But. has CVngrcbfl
wer to force upon a Stale any persons
they think litas citzens? Suppose that
body pass laws converting the Indians into
itizeimof (lie several States within which
hey are found. Would the Stale he bound
to receive them as Mich nolens volt ns, and of
course extend to them ail the privileges be
longing to her other citizens ? To commie
his power to tjie federal government woijld
he of dangerous tendency. Aie the ne
groes of the Southern Slates, free or bond,
•it izens ? The people of the southern elutes
ay no—If than CongruBs ran convert one
portion of the inhabitants of * state, called
Indians into citizens, then by the exercise
if a like power she can convert another
portion of the inhabitants of the same state
called negroes, into citizens. If they make
a citizen of un Indian, what hinders them
from making a citizi.h cf a free negro, nnd.
if it hay can make a citizen of a hoe negro,
what hinders them from naturalizing slave
negroes? 1 forbear to urge tbs enquiry
further ot this time. Yet the period is not
distant, probubly. when the question must
be discussed. Efforts of o more energetic
hnracier are making tor the civilization of
ilm lmliuns, especially those within the lim
its of Georgia. We nre told of their ad
vancement in tbe work. With Home it is
declared to be near the point of its accom
plishment. The- CherokcoH have been sa
flattered as to their progress, that they have
at one time declared independence. The
IT. States have tbrrcd them by threats to
etraet this declaration, as Mr. Culhouu
would linvo ns believe iu hfa correspondence
with Gov. M’Minn, before alluded ttv^ But
the avowed object of civilizing ihenr is to
introduce them into the Anurkanfamily.—
By whom, how and tthere is this to he done?
And if by Congress, by hues, to be poFsed
under the power confided iu the constitu
tion to ” establish n uniform rule of natur
alization," and the Indians in Georgia ure
liro’t within their operation, is the state of
Georgia bound by the constitution to recede
them as such? And if they refuse cannot
the United States direct Gen. Gaines (a fit
agent, who would delight in the patriotic
and fhU^nlhropis work) tq “ employ Ui+
