II, 18*5. . *FROM ONI or TOO EDITOR*. Milledoetille, N6v. 7lh, t8»5.-*-Th« portiM in the present Legislature, appear to be nearly equally divided, although the friend* of Clark etaim a majority, and ap pear to be inclined to exercise the power, it’ ' ihey possess it, by placing in office persons knotty to be idehtifled with them. In the . Senate, they, claim a decided majority, yet r it. i* Considered a* quite probable, that ■ ' jkrocai will be eleoted President of that body^-in "opposition Iq'Powell., it is im possible, however, to form an opinion at the' ... present moment, with entire certainty—the partied are eo equally divided, that the ma jnftty cannot exceed at leaet in the House. < thro op three on ekher aide.- Ht’Dioit and CattenKLi., are the candidates in the Low ' er House. "i~ Of the aubjoct* which are most likely to claim the attention 6f the Legislature, the , relations between this State and United V States, the subject of the internal improve- . incut of the State, and the Bank of Darien, Sjfe tbe principal. In what shape .the first ’ will come before the Legislature, I do not. know—but I da not anticipate any strong opposition to a determination to insist in a firm and decided manner on the -fulfillment of our' contract with the General Govern- - ment. At least from, the declarations of Governor Clark and bis friends, previous to the election, we have no reason to believe they .will oppose it. I believe on good au thority, that it is the intention of the Gen eral Government to proceed tafulfil the late ..treaty without is reference to Congress, but -the Agent will be retained. .Gen. Gaines 'passed through this place a short time since ' for the Nation. V The subject of internal improvement, will - probably he introduced—but whether ii will ’ result in the appointment of a Board of Public Works, the incorporation of a Com pany for the purpose of cutting a canal or canals, or the commencement of the same, by the State, by means of borrowed capital, or whether measures will be suspended un- siatent with the analytical character of a Male paper like this. Thd variety of topics, the multitude ot facte, justify a departure from the ordinary usage. A,tedious expose may he mure aecuptieble tlmk „q superficial survey, is the contemplation uf the whole ground will enable you so to apply the re sources of your wisdom and patriotism to the osiguuciy, at, wifli the assists rice of Di-' vine Providence, ia 'evert the iniscbiels which threaten, mako our own'ways rights, oue in our own sight end io the eight uf all otliora, and bring naok to u souse of justice those who, in their ebcfcslions from it, have done Us wrong. I had for the Ant-time come into office when a subject of peculiar delicacy presen ted itself, and being intimately connected with ilia Independence of the electito fran chise, without which it would pe vein tbr Georgia to claim for herself the sltribute* of s sovereign state, it was made known to the President that on tha odutsion of tho electiun just then terminated, an officer in his employ, bearing a high and dignified commission, and being a citizen uf another state, had abandoned his post to mingle in the strifes of that "election; had espoused the cause of oue of the parties to the pre judice of the other, and by the weight and iiifiiiencaAif his offibe united with the most enthusiastic ardour, had rendered himself so -igaally conspicioue that the Chief Magis tralecuuld not conscientiously forbear among his first acts to complain to the Executive Government of the Union'uf.this uutrag. upon the most sacred'of all the rights of so vereignty, An occasion otfered at the mo ment to give weight to the prnsentation, and it was embraced. .The bead nfthe Mis sionary establishment iif the Creek Nation had been provoked by the ill usage and law. less conduct of the Mine officer 'to prefer certain charges against him. which, if sup ported hy truth.could nnt'fail, it was holier ed, to bring upon, him the severest aniihad- versioD of his own government, and it pun hoped that tho remonstrance of the Govern or of Georgia, thrown into the scale, would accomplish whatseemCd to him an important object, Use removal from office of a man who by his prejudices and passions would present Ihp most formidable-obstacles to the satis faction of the just claims of Georgia against the general government,at least so long at a certain person filled the first office of that state —They failed ofthoir intent, and what ever sentence might have been passed on the memorial of the Missionary the remon strance of the Governor of Georgia was un heeded. The. inferrenee was inevitable, that in virtue oither of positive instruction .or of implied consent, the Agent of Indian Affairs being a citizen of another state and resident in the Nation,’would at any time consult both duty and inclination in deser ting h ; a station to lend himself with his insig nia of office, to any party in the state, whoso views it might be the interest of himself or .of his government to promote. The stale of Georgia had claims upon the G,moral Government of great 1 magnitude her territorial ones had been so long nog looted that time seemed to be running f gainst tl^m—The Indians were acquiring a permanency of foothold under the direct, encouragement ofthe United States which would rivet them like their fixtures to- the soil forever, and it was seen that a day or an hour was of precious imimrt to her whom TuLT,dn, of N. C. whose services bad been engaged as civil engineer by Gov. Troup. has forfeited his promise, and declined (he appointment—another gentleman, of dis , iinguished taiente, however, in New : York, 3 understand, has been engaged for the pur. pose. ' The situation of the Bank of Darien, is ' Considered in eyery place where 1 have heard the subject introduced, one of high importance. Its removal to Milledgeville’ -• er Augosta, may perltyps be proposed. It fa, very evident from the intereetofthe State ’ in tbit institution, tnd the embarrassments which the depreciation of its notes has occa sioned, that something must be done to rent cdy the evil. The opinions of the members _i>f.tba. Lugislaturor will not, however, be made up until the annual statement is be fore tuem. Many other subjects of interest, will, no douht, be brpdght forward, of which I ahull advise you as they occur. The number of candidates fur offices in the gill of the Le gislature, Judges, Solicitors, file, is very great. As some of the gentlemen who arc now up may decline, I shall not attempt to give their names.

Tim apjiome ’is, that thy treaty was as untainted wltti'EfrMRi most other Indian treaties—was made wills,, an su thority long since recognized by lha,United States as competent to make it—wha aoqwi esqad inat first by (lie great body Of tha to- lion, nod would have been cheerfully sifbmil-- ted the whole iribu, n the hostile Chiofs in Connell indicated to Col.

What the penetrating sagacity or the one foretold soon came to pass—-Vloln tosh was no more, and thus tljeevil genius of the. other, which predicted tiie coining of tie tvhtrlwind. whichqideiu.it ami directed tin storm, saw io tha one I'-.U swoop the triumph of his machinations and the fulfillment of his pro phooy. Mclnlbslt and his Ctiiet'i had given their assent to the survey nfthe country, and this assent was seized by the Agent to divert the public odium frum himself, and to fasten it on Ilia Chief Magistrate of Georgia, who had sought and obtained that assent. The naked declaration of the Agent to this'effect, unsupported bv a tittle of proof,' wfls sufficient yi command the absolute credence of his gov- eminent, and contrary to all opposing toati -nnhy of the most onnclusiva character, to warrant it in charging the calamttiesnf.lhi. nation upon the same magistrate as the au thor of (Item all—to forbid the survey and (o embody a corps of regulars io prevent it, and to continue both its offensive ordnrs and it', offensive armament even after another of its agents, by false testimony, had proven to its satisfaction that no such assent was ovyr giv en. and had announced to it moreover what, was not the fact, but wliat on his aulhorify it implicitly believed to be the fact, that the pa cification of the ludians had been concluded, and of course order and tra iquility perma neatly restored; nevertheless tiio offensive mandate is unrevoketl and the parade of bay onets maintained. The Indian right 0/ noon - nancy is tha only one acknowledged by (he European powers from the beginning'—the only one acknowledged by all the public in struments through gliicli Georgia derived her -title—the only one conceded to the. Indians by Georgia in all Iter treaties with them from the first settlement of the country, and the only one recognised by the United States themselves. The Spaniards and the French, without respecting kven this right, 'have forcibly ap proprialed to themaelvescniirc countries when and where it suites them—The Euglish and Americans have so far respected it as to make compensation for the relinquish, ment of claim or abandonment of use- It is true that with regard to this right of use the United States, in their own territory, might havegiven it to any latitude which pleated them, because the mil and jurisdiction belong- .,1 Saw t- I 1 ' lL~ a !a When, therefore, in a temper not discre ditable, it -it-hoped, to the author, those claims were pressed apoa the General Go vernment, it was answered that every thing .had been done, which in good faith could lie done to satisfy, the claims Of Georgia, and that now nothing could be done because the Indians hail said nolliing.ehiiuld be done. An answer ho unkind, ungenerous and faith less left iio .alternative* but to abandon or strenuously assert them. It was vain iq tor the state of Georgia to prove to tile United States, that rngortlloKS uf her claims, they had acquired immense trade oft- wintry front timeto tithe for either stato* and ( tbr thetnsolves, uud that in the celebrated, (maty of I8t4, iif the United States had been mindful of their engagement s they could as easily have scquireifthe whole nonntry within our limits as a single acre. By the treaty of 1814, the Creeks were treated ss a conquered people, whom Geor gia had assisted wilh her arms to conquer ; their bounijaries were marked by the swurd. but charity, which begins ar home, more I-o cnt than any stipulations of the articles of 1803, acquired for tho United States t very large extentnnt of rich country within the limits of Alabama, whilst twenty mil lions of acres within the limits of Georgia were reserved and guarantied {b the Indi amt, and this guaranty subsequently prodii ced against us to defeat our claims to the Rams territory. Georgia could not tee in all this that scrupulous fidelity in the fulfil- ment of engagements asserted firr the Uni ted States. When st last the way seemed opened to a furthergacquisitionof territory ; anil Com miaeiiinei-H'werp appointed to nogociate with the Creeks at Broken Arrow. Georgia found the agents of the United States arrayed s gainst her to defeat a treaty, so that it, was difficult to understand whether the whole movement was a mockery to sport with Georgia, or a perfidious betrayal by the a- gents of the trust reposed in them. The treaty was dofeated and by their agency the principal agent appeared to rise-In the esteem and confidence of his government, and thus terminated this most disgusting scene. , * The rehetnal of whst happened immediate- y after st the Indian Spring,.would only re- vwe recollectionsaif the same odious practi ces ofthe same agent, not less disgraceful., because they were more convert and less suc cessful. From this period is to be dated all the misehiefa. disorders and heart-bgrninga which fallowed, produced chiefly, by the oon- duct nfthe seme officer. But in justice To him it should he said that .from this period he he is to be considered rather at an instrument than a principal, at his own government, looking back upon the history ofthe past, had aeemed to approve his toting* and doings in tire grots, and bad given every token oifua- diimnished confidence in him, so. that from that day thenceforth, whatever was said, done or written hy him teemed goto in its tight. No evil report-,of him would he listened “o; the word of no. man taken against him—all pressed will ofthe constituted.antlioriti a of the state which denonneed'him assn enemy to Its interests, disregarded by bis mrsrMnent tnd contemned by himself,; in shorr, his sin gle declaration ib the finse of truth, mafie by that government the basis of tho moatoffeo *— ■ indisputably hers, this right of use can only bo construed to moan what in all the treaties did mean, the right of use for hunting. When therefore the United States, by changing tho mtoh of life of the aboi-igenal. upon the toil of Georgia, changed essentially , this right, and caused her lands to be separately appropriat ed for the purpose uf tillage, and gave every encouragement to fixed habits of agriculture, they violated the treaties in their fetter and spint, and did wrong to Georgia, it is not less strange than true, that of all the various tribes of aborigines dispersed Over the vast dnuntfy within the limits nfthe Uuited States twoof them within the limits of Georgia, have been specially selected as most fit subjects for the operation of this great scheme of reclama tion and that the partial successor this scheme (founded in wrong 10 Georgia, aud continued inwro'if) should be held up to us now at a mirror in which we are inviled-fn see at once our own deformity and the moral beauty of its authors, awf lliat this original,and continued wrong should be set up in bar of our utooubt rights. The state of Georgia contends that the jn risdiction over the country in question, is ab solute* in herself—She proves it by ail the ti tles through which she derived her claim from the beginning; by thechartera and proclama tions nf the mother country ; bv the repeated acknowledgements of the United States them selves, and by iheig solemnly expressed re cognition in the first and second articles of the agreement and oession of 1803 [t wu , shewn that if Georgia had the jurisdiction'. Georgia had never parted with 11; and that if she had it not, <he can never have it in vir- tueofany authority of any power known in her. Yet Georgia has been denied the right d survey of her owu soil, withiu her own ju risdiction, a right as inseparable frum that ju risdiction and as innocent as a. right of wav, aod’this notwilhstnnding'the consent to thin’ survey, as is verily believed, freely given by every Chief within the limits of the territory, who ciAild by any posibility suffer harm nr de triment from it—Nay mo e, if is confidently believed (hat if (lie United States government or its agents had not extorted, from one por tion ofthe Indians objections to the surrey, there would not have been found, a single indi - vidual who would have though ufeuterlaining any ; and here it will not escape you that at the council of Broken Arrow, where the com missioners uf Georgia were prcicol, the mili tary officer of the United 8t q.rs, under bis instructions,made known to rite Chiefs that bis goremment had resolved nafto permit the surrey, so that if a spirit at any time, from any cause, had animated the Indian to hostili ty against Georgia, the savage would have availed himself of the surrey as a pretext to. fall upon our people, and with '.be more fero city because assured that he would be sus tained by (be arnu of the United Slates. The last pretext nfthe President for re sistance to the survey, is th» .obligation to execute the Bth arliclp.of .ton treaty, which guaranties protection ,io the:, friendly Indi ana.

The result of all which is, that judging the motives and objects of hnxian action hy tho results, the agents oftllo United Siates, whether com missioned for that purpose, or. not, inns' have been intent mi vindicating the conduct ofthe agent for Indian Affairs, soil opening the way fortlie rupture ofthe treaty—for that conduct has been oiniliraled and aps proved by them one all the materials as it is understood collected for that rupture, whilst the Indiana remain unreooucilcd either to one another or to the treaty, and a large portion of them more embittered and exas perated against the authors of it than ever. The President having ultimatoly resolv ed tn refer the Treaty to Congress for.re consideration, because of alleged intrigue and treachery practised to obtain it. the re solhlion adopted by the Executive to prose cute the survey.under the act of tiiw Login iature of the 9th day nf June last, was changed and the change immediately com municated to the President.. It would be uncandid, fellow citizens tn disguise that but for the proposed reference to Congrese. tile survey .would have been commenced and prosecuted. So long as the controversy was confined to the Execu tive of the Union, and the Executive* of Georgia,.there cohld be no hesitation as to the measures which it became the latter to pursue. Between etstes equally indepen dent ft is nut required of the weaker to yield to the etronger, because this would be set tling controversies by the rule of force, not by the rule ot’right, and between sovereigns the weaker ia equally qualified as the stron ger to pass upon its rights. The immediate sprvey ofthe country, required certainly by the interest and convenience of Georgia, was not of that vital > importance which would justify offensive measures 'to execute it. But the abandonment Of a right, not con sidered doubtful by the only power compe- umi -to«ruai)unce.uuan it. was Souther and very different matter. Tlx ciinceuuon ot a right without au equivalent by a weaker to t stronger power is never made without oxpoeing the former to injurious imputation, and will always be followed by concession slier concession, to unjust demands until nothing remains to be demanded on ihe one side, or cqnceded on the one side, or conce ded on I he other- W lien tberel'ore the Pre sident of tha United States cnnunantled the Governor of^Georgia to forbear the survey, and when that command was followed by a distinct annunciation of the penalty which awaited the disobedience to it, the Execn live of Georgia, would not merely havesur rendered a right already declared to he so, by the supreme power of the fixate, but would have made a dishonorable surrender tn a etronger power, with the sword suspen ded over his head. Whilst, therefore, tie Governor vyould in this respect litre treated the mandate ol’the President as unlawful, lie did not-hesitate its soon as the contemplated referenctrof the treaty to Congress for alleged intrigue and treachery, was officially known to him to postpoue the Survey until the meet ing of the legislature; Uut because that refer- ance'was lawful, but that its legality or ilie gality was not eo appropriately a question for his decision as for that of the legislature. So that whilst the ^Government of Georgia, de nied thepowei of the Ex,-culive«ulliarity of the Unileil Stalks to pruhoimce upon her rights, it might oot refuse to the assembled States of the Union the .opportunity of invests gating certain claims, or discussing certain qnestions.in controversy connected with the Treaty, or With her own character and con duct in relation to it. So far as that charac ter and conduct were in any manner involved in the negneiatiofi or conclusion of the Trea ty, nr in the events which proceeded and fol lowed, their purity, uprighinets ami justice might freely be canvassed before the whole world. Thus much was conceded for our own sake, until the meeting of the legislature —the rights of the State were saved by pro testation, anil Ihe legislature is yet free to act upoqthnsubject as if’oo measure had been taken by the Executive in relation to that re ference.—The legality of the survey was al- sertedfthe power In invalidate the Treaty de nied, and the absolute title of Georgia to the sojl and jurisdiction vindicated. The very limited knowledge of the his- toxy of the Creek tribes possessed by thp people nf the United States and the mis conceptions and misrepresentations which coaid not/ail to ensue, induced the Execu tive to 'direct the attention of J. V. Bevan, Esq. (already assiduously occupied under your appointment, to collect the materials lor a history of Georgia.) to the illustration if that* part ofthe Creek story which hsd mors immediate referrence to the paints involved in the-dinonssion ofthe Treaty.— Theeesult of his diligent research is submit- sed in the paper marked. . You will find there the: ground assumed by the Execu tive of Georgia iu maintenance of the Trea ty : vix. that the consent of Coweta was of itself sufficient. inde)>endenily of all other considerations, to give force tnd effietcy to that instrument is roily sustained, and by evidenco derived from such authentic sources SS to leave nothing to cavil or.to subterfuge.
