... Trtltft, Sort Jua«, 1B2S,
General tnd friend— > r
Your talk of yesterday we have,
and have given to the same, proper con
sideration. In some part ufyour tulk we
disagree—we will reply to it in the ordor
you have given it—we arc glad our father
the President hns instructed you to afford
as the protection you offer—A number of
us are anxious to go with you to Broken
Arrow to the Tulk to bo held then , nnd
desire of you to afford to, ond nssur- ns,
of tlmt protection—we know our father
the President wishes us to lie protected:
so his Commissioners in the Treaty
hove told us: we w.ll lei you'know to
morrow who of us wish to go to Broken
Arrow.
Wi have ho doubt but that the informn-
you have received, reluting to the friendly
« l, ~ t.. I„Jt
tho store in Whittaker-Street, opposite Col. f 1 *®'nations, would enitile them. The
* — hostiles had committed a .shameful cold
blooded, midnight murder. And Gen,
Gnines says, “ bad as we may suppose
them to be, it is known thet they have laid
down their nrins, nod therefore the lnws
of civiliz d nations will not sanction their
condeinution withnur a hearing.” No one
had nsked Gen, Gnines, we believe, for
their condemnation without a hearing:
but the friendly Indians asked him for an
opportunity to try them with a hearing,ac
cording to their own laws—tins was not
granted. “ The United States had, in no
instance, deemed it proper to interfere in
their intestine feuds,” but in this instance
somebody interfered and prevented the ex
ecution of Justice—what has now become
of all Ins heart-felt sorrow for the death
of his friend and ally! Is it buried in his
friendship for Crowell, who was McIn
tosh’s enemy ?
It will be seen that he had read their
laws and was gratified to find none so
sanguinary ns that alledgcd by their en
emies to exist, under colour of which it
was stated they, perpetrated the murders
complained of— and yet he refused their
request to have the perpetrators ef those
“ murders ” tried by the law of the land.
We know not from whence Gen. Gnines
received his authority for saying to the
Indians that the money stipulated in the
treaty to be paid to them to remunerate
them for their improvements nnd the ex
pense of moving, would be paid on the
same scale of distribution as their annuity;
but tn see the injustice of-uch a procedure,
it is anly necessary to refer to the just and
spirited reply of the friendly Indians.
Talk of Gtn. Gaines to the friendly
Chiefs at the Indian Springs.
My Friends, Chiefs, and Warriors—
I have read the account of your wrongs,
and am ordered by your great friend and
{ Father, the Pretident of the U. State, to
if their hostility should lie continued. Hut
should I find them as I hate reason, from
report, to expect, sincerely lamenting the
rashness and folly yf their past conduct,
nnd willing to make atunoment for the
injuries you Imve sustained from them—I
nm instructed in thisenso to settle the difr
ferences bytween you without furtlio-
bloodshed.
Your lamented Gen. McIntosh, and
other chiefs who fell with him hnd often
evinced their friendship and "fidelity to us,
in War nnd in Pence; we have, therefore
heard of their deuth with that heartfelt
sorrow which the fall of long tried friends
could not fail to produce. Yon claim the
lives of these by whom your beloved thief-
tains were Slain. Could they be thus re
stored to us, 1 doubt not hut the President
would willingly order me to pnmsh their
murderers. But the deud, however valued
cannot be restored to this life, and as the
Government of the United States has in
no instance deemed it proper to interfere
in the intestine feuds of our red neighbora
in casos like the present when their lies
tilities have not continued ot extended to
the white inhabitants I ntn nut authorized
under these circumstances, tu sanction
the measure of revenge proposed by you.
If the opposite party is found to be sin
cerely desirous of peace and willing to
restore the money and property taken by
them it is expected that you will in this
case moderate your demands meet them
in Council and return to the nation until!
you have selected your intended residence
to the Westward. But should 1 fail in my
attempts to restore harmony-should I find
your enemies determined to renew their
nets of violence nguinst you, 1 slmll, in this
case advise vou to remain here for n few
weeks, until my troops are in rcediness for
action when I shall put down every hostile
hand tlmt 1 find raised against you. Y'our
conduct hns lie.cn discreet nnd it ImB h en
approved by the President. When your
enemies nssuiled you and muidered your
chiefs, your first step was to repair to your
white friends and nppcu] to them for re
dress.
the impulse of irritated feeling nnd nueiiqi
ted with no other than your own limited
means to avenge your wrongs, your count
ry would have been involved in a bloody
intestine war. In such a war your white
friends that surround yon would have been
forced to take up arms in their own de
fence. The consequences would have
been fatal to most of the red men of both
parties of the Nation, for we could not
always discriminate between friends
ond foes. The innocent might have
therefore fallen for the crimes ofthe guil
ty. Your wisdom nnd forbearance has
enabled your fnther, the President, to in
terpose his authority nnd friendly admo
nition. A continuance of tlmt wisdom
and forbearance will enable us to preserve
you from n war of extermination, nnd to
do you justice to which you Imve thestron-
gest claims. Having seen nnd addressed
you, having received from you the evidence
of your wrongs my next duty will he to
see the chiefs opposed to you nnd to ad
dress them, nnd to hear them nnd their
witnesses; for bad ns we may suppose
them to he, it is known that they have
laid down their arms, nnd, therefore, the
laws of civilized nations will not sanction
their condemnation without a hearing.—
You must, in the mean time.persevere in
the judicious course you have heretofore
pursued; you must bear in mind the wishes
ef the President which I have commu
nicated to you— be quiet and peaceable
and listen not to the bnd councils of those
who would plunge you into the evils of
war, when war would not relieve, but
would inevitably add to your misfortunes.
The 200,000 dollars due to the Indinns,
according to the provisions of the late
treaty, will be withheld from them until
their differences arc settled and I am in
structed to say, that tho chief who com-
mits further violence will forfeit his share
of the money.
After the differences are settled, the
§200,000 will be he paid on the same
seale of distribution of their annuity.
1 hare read pour laws, and am gratified
to find none so sanguinary as that Pledg
ed by your enemies to exist,u nder colour
of which, it hac been stated, they perpe
trated the murders of which you com
plain.
Your Friend,
(Signed) F..P. GAINES.
Mai Gen Commanding
To the Chiefs and Warriors, Creek Nation,
now st Indian Springy,
true—we are too ncur them nnd kn iw
too well what they wish to believe so—you
may have .been imp sed on by hnd men
who wish its nnd our friends harm—we
are.sorry ou> father has talked to you a-
bout us, as we hear from your talk—»•
disagree with you in that talk, in this—we
must have the mnrderersof out great chief
and other head men given up to be tried
by our laws. If they, have spilt blood a-
gainst the nation’s law, they must suffer
ns the law directs for such a crime—you
know our father .the President would have
called unon the untion to give up any of
our Chiefs or Warriors, if they hnd mur
dered tiny of our white brothers, to be
punished as the law said—We expect and
demand the some in this ease- It is right
it should be done so—not only our great
Father before the present one have said
so, but the Great Spirit has said so—You
have said you Imve. read our Laws ond
that ycu find no snob Law ns that hostile
Indians say our Chief Gen. McIntosh vio
lated, which caused his denth - that is
true, there is no such law nor ever was: if
there had been such luw as that,nnd made
when it is said it was, why wore not all
our Chiefs and head men put to death for
signing thetrenty mude with the Commis
sioners at this place in 1821. You can
tell onr futher that we never knew any
such law. Bnd men both white and
red mode the story tn suit them—You
tell us the dend cannot be restored to life;
we knew that before, but as they cnnnot r
you say we must not ask the law to ha
enforced upon those who take uwuy lifet
Thnt is not the way our white Brother*
tnlk to one another; When one of them
murders another, he is tried by your laws,
and if found guilty you punish him; this
is all we nsk, give us it, justics demands it,
nnd we expect you will ossi>t us in the ex
ecution : you say our great Father will
not interfere smog his rad children when
they quarrol; we wore alwuyt taught to
believe otherwise; that he would interfere
when one party was plundering and mur
dering another without any cause wlmtev-
Hnd you then determin'd to follow er f \“ IT cas « w,th hlB
- of the Creek Nation. It was on tlmt ac
count that some of us went all the way to
the City of Washington, to see our Father
mid were of the opinion from vvhnt he said
in Itis tulk to them tlmt went to sec him,
that he would interfere to protect us—
Tlmt Ims been promised in nnother place
and at another time; that is, in the Trea
ty made lost, when the treaty tusds
at this place, some of the Chiefs left hero
before it was signed beenuse they he<rd
that some of the Tueknhntches said th-y
would kill any who signed it: they who
did then sign it then required the Commit
sinners of our Father the President who
was sent to us by him and to aet for him,
and that he would agree to pr tcct us
from "the encroachments and impositions
of the whites ami all others” whieh was
done by the Treaty. These are the words
of our father, sppnking by the authority
of our Father tho President, we have been
imposed on by the whites nnd others since
