tv ements—ft was scarcely posai-
"Vto have the improvements made so
r , 3 e-iahle each family to make a
c.-oi the first year, which if they
failed to do, they would have nothing
upon which to subsist the second year.
An additional motive was, that our
people, by making their own nnprove-
ni nils would be forming habits of la
bour. In addition to the replacing
the improvements on their future
homes, it was believed that each fa
mily who in any degree clothed them
selves, or gained any other adantage
from agriculture* should be indemni
fied for their loss of crops from the
time they emigrated- until they could
be in a situation equally advantageous
in their new country. Further, there
would be many articles left and lost
in removing lor which a demand
could not be made.
To meet all these and other just
Wishes and expectations, it was pro
posed that the government should give
each family six hundred and forty a-
eres of hi in their present resi
dence, and .hereby enable them to
make the own improvements, and
meet the osses to which they might
be subj .ed: and as an indemnity for
this change, in favour of the Choctaws,
they proposed to surrender all their
present annuity, amounting to twenty
four thousand dollars; twelve thousand
of which is ail interest on two hundred
thousand dollars in the hands ol the
government. Then tho million ol
dollars was asked for as a capita!
which should remain in the hands of
the government at least twenty years;
on interest of five percent. These
were the two principal items in a
treaty in which twenty thousand per
sons proposed to leave the land ol
their Fathers, a country containing
ten or twelve million of acres oi land,
and get. out of tho way ol Hie state of
Mississippi.
In ibis outline of the treaty soul by
the Choctaws, I say nothing about an
exchange of I: nd, because ibe Choc
taws have already purchased a suffi-
ciont country there by an exehang
i
ties and carried to their councils, and
one side of their faces blacked and the
other painted, and they were then or
dered to get up and dance away their
religion: and if they hesitated, guns
were tired under them to hasten
them.
During this season of confusion the
body oltlie nation continued to lookwith
inexpressible anxiety fur the return of
the messenger by whom they had sent
their proposition to the city of Wash
ington, hoping that the treaty would
be ratified, by which means peace
would bo*restored. iiut the enemies
of peace became bold in proportion to
the forebearance of the friends of
peace.
The life of the principal chief was
threatened. It was understood that
strong measures would be resorted to,
to draw off a part of the north west
District, and if suocesslul, that an
attack would be made upon all the
Christian settlements and if possible
have them exterminated. About the
time that this plan was believed to be
in serious contemplation, both the
Districts in which these evils had
principally prevailed were called to
the Factory on Tombigbce river, to
receive their annuity, and Col. Leflore,
the Chief of the third District, was
invited by Hie agent to be present.—
Col. Leflore immediately determin
ed to march a sufficient armed force
lu that place, to secure peace on some
terms—Hs accordingly communicat
ed his intention to t!ie other two dis
tricts, that they might be apprised ol
bis object. Me met the other two
districts, anti secured peace and
fiiendship by having Mushulatubbec
broke as chief of the eastern district,
and arranging with his captains that
neither of the two districts should in
terfere, ..that they should not elect a
chief under t wo months. In the coun
cil that was he! ! by all tho captains
of the three districts and t wo Chiefs,
the Chief and Captains who had been
associated with Mushulatubbec jointed
at Middleton Mackey and stated, that
he had told them lies which had pro-
they bad repeated offers of preaching, they
wotfid not Var. It seems that they only
and hold tho government bound, by duced all the liistiirluitiee in the na-
trenly, to furnish every emigrant a I lion. That i< was the lies of Mackey
certain outfit and one year's provision I Hip Umi-nd Stall's interpreter, which
on reaching his western home. j had lead them all in a wrong way.—
With a full assurance that Piesi-j It is now easy to see the connexion
dent Jackson would b.* more liber.I io between our confusion and the alca
lde Choctaws than President Ad'ins sores of the United States govern-
most of the Choctaws hailed his ele- nient—a small party beaded by the
v,ition to the Presidential chair as the the United States’ interpreter had ap-
most fortunate occurence which could
lnve taken place in the affairs of the
Choctaw unlian. Many of them wc’e
were person iiy acquainted with him.
They hud suil’ered with him — Tin y
had fought uml"r him; and their
brethren had bled and died in hi?#
sight —Thcv were assured that when
lie was inform'd, that the council of
ft'e north west District had determin
ed that they would not emigrate, un
less he said to them they mast, or sub
mit to Mississippi laws, lie burst into
tears and exclaimed, “how can I say
to the people who have fought with
in.;, that they m ist & shall remove?”
Under those views of our situation
tve propos'd a treaty which we be
lieved to he just an l equitable, with
an honest and honorable design of sa-
cra(icing omr attachments to the land
and graves of our fathers, that in
peace among ouselves, and in peace
with all the world we might seek a
home in the western wlldemes. But
<yjr iy. orli neat ion can scarcely he ima
gined, on discovering tin* iuo messen
ger bearing our proposition had scarce
ly left us, when the United States In
terpreters were found actively en
gaged in raising a party to oppose and
prevent the ratification of the treaty.
Councils were appointed; every thing
like civilization and Christianity was
to be excluded from the new party.
Laud boastings were heard of arms
and deadly weapons at their Councils.
Jleports of the gathering of forces,
from the Creeks and whites, to de
stroy the Christian Choctaws, were
circulated—Rumors were hastening
through the settlements of the Chris
tian Choctaws, waking up families at
midnight hour, and informing them
that the slaughtering tinny was ap
proaching, and that unless they im
mediately left tlutir religion, and
joined them, they would all he de
stroyed. 'Phe whole population of an
extensive tract of country was thrown
into confusion. Some lied to the op
posite parly—Many sought safety in
swamps and sonic tied to the while
settlements in Mississippi. Every
falsehood which could bo invented to
produce confusion was resorted to.—
families were seized by armed pgr.-
should succeed in dividing us and re
moving the ignorant and uninformed to
the \vest,\villjnot a moment’s reflection
teach any reasonable man that exter
mination must iju the consequence?
It is said to be a game Country—It is
well known, however, that the only
important species of game there is tho
Buffaloe, and that they are followed
by large bodies of wild and warlike
savages who would feel it to be a
dangerous intrusion upon their rights
for other Indians to hunt them. If the
Choctaws get many of them they
must light for them, and if they go in
sufficient numbers to defend them
selves, they will consume the game as
fast as they can procure it: and when
the game is done, which must soon be
the case, is it not certain that they
will starve, if the laboring part of the
nation is left in Mississippi? The
half Bloods and laboring part can live
in any country, ft is their ignorant
Brethren whose* situation demands
the sympathies of all reflecting minds.

LETTEn CONCERNING THE CIIOCTA1V
INDIANS.
We have been kindly favoured with
the privilege of making the extract-
given below, from a letter addresses
to the Rev. John Andrews, of this ci
ty, by the Rev. Loring S. Williams,
missionary among the Indians. The
letter is of a later date than any we
have seen published from the mission
aries. As it contains an interesting
narrative of tiie Mayhew Church, ol
the difficulties it lias encountered, and
of the prospects of the Indians of t in-
Choctaw tribe; feelings of sympathy |
and anxiety will he awakened by its!
perusal, in behalf of these pooi pen-j

Aikhunna, Choctaw Nation, )
June 30th, 1830. J
Rev. and Dear Sir:
A few particulars respecting the Choc
taw JUission may be acceptable.
When I wrote to you in October
last, 1 think F stated that we had re-
tautn MiT,
D<f ceG TST
also gone astlay. This may be said of this
part ol’th - nation; but it is particularly ap
plicable to the southern part, where many
ol the inquirers, having been overcome by
powerful temptations, have returned to
their evil courses. Never was the great
Adversary more busy in opposing the gos
pel in this land, than at toe present time.
I will briefly stale some facts in alluslialion
of this remark.
Soon after the legis’atnre of JW ssissippi
extended her laws over the poor Indians,
abolishing their laws, customs, Ike. making
it a heavy penalty, and imprisonment, lor
any chief to associate as such two of the
principal chiefs resigned their eommissions.
Their influence, in favor of the gospel, had
hitherto been most salutary. But there j»e afw trt *ap n© o'* a n.

pointed two Chiefs, in opposition to
Col. Leflore, who liad been elected
by the national Council the solo Chief
of the nation. This party with their j coived about 50 Choctaws into our
two Chiefs used every possible
means to gain (be ascendency, and, to
secure their popularity, no doubt re
ported themselves as having the bo
dy of the nation with them. Though
they were still in the minority they
had two chiefs, which gave them a
majority of Chiefs. In this situation
or immediately after Mushulatubbec osre of Brethren Kingsbury, Byington,
was forced to resign, a communication
is received from President Jackson,
requiring that the Three Chiefs, each
u 'ith six Captains, should meet him in
Tennessee to hold a treaty with him.
It was strongly intimated that they
must not come unless they intended
to treat. To comment on this cir
cumstance Is unnecessary—I give the
facts and leave the people of the Uni
ted States and the world to make
their own comments. Although the
Mississippi law is illy suited to the
present state of the Choctaws, it is
becoming doubtful whether even the
ignorant part of the nation can be pre
vailed upon to remove to a country
where the United States interpreters
will have every facility of producing a
general crusade of the wild savages of
the desert to destroy them, whenever
the American government may wish
their land. The Government is not
seen in these movements, but thinking
men will know that men would nut be
retained in office unless they acted in
accordance with the views of the
government.
Mississippi has extended her laws
over us, she allows us all the privile
ges of citizens! and when she sees
that we have made a strong and liber
al effort to get out of her way, the
same spirit of liberality will lead Iter
to give us eight or ten years to pre
pare to become acceptable citizens,
and with this indulgence in pressing
on in our improvements we shall never
need a home in the west. If Missis
sippi wishes the Choctaws removed,
she also wishes that they should be
treated with justice and humanity.

and myself, residing at three different
stations. Of the church members
52 belong to my congregation.
There are nine ruling elders in
this church, seven of whom are na
tives, who appear e t eme'y well as
church officers. It is true they arc
comparatively ignorant; but they are
very teachable, and thus far, faithful
and exemplary.
There are several places for pub
lic worship within the bounds of the
church, where there is gone rally a
good attendance on the Sabbath: and
once in itvo months,the whole church,
according to their ability, meet at a
central spot, where a large house has
been erected for the purpose. They
commonly collect on Friday, and stay
until Monday. On such occasions we
have considerable preaching, exami
nation of candidates, and the adminis
tration of t ho ordinances. The
Lord's supper is aiso occasionally ad-
miuistereU «t some of the stations, as
otherwise some of the infirm members,
who live at a great distance from the
centre meeting house, could never en-
joy it. t
The number received into the
churches in other parts of the nation
is, I think, uot far from 50.—There
are also a number of hopoful candidates
in different places. We hope that tho
special influences of the Holy Spirit
are not wholly withdrawn. But there
is less excitement among the people
in general; or, I should say, less deep
concern for the salvation of the soul
is manifested. It will be seen in .he se
quel, that there is an excitement of another
kind. There are some casos of lament ible
backsliding among those who had professed
to bo anxious to obtain an interest in
Christ. Some few chuich members have
.t caan it be expected
they siiouM succeed with many oi
those who an; not rooted and grounded in
the faith. They insist upon u, toi instance,
that 1 eiigion disqualifies a man i,u any civ
il office—-being told by these officious wh:u:
me 1 1 that the President of the U. b. is m.t
a Christ an; ami tiiat there uve lew o; non*
in Congress.
It is indeed a sifting time to the chu.cli.
But we are com: iri< in the assurance that
l/ie Lord knoioebi lfu:n that are his, and is
able to keep them in tin- evil ua\ . i i;ja e
no doubt hat perilous t foes an ai liana.—
The legislative proceedings01 their while,
brothers have shocked and thrown ili- m
into confusion. 'They now expect to leave
then* little farms and comfortable itwe.liiH,-'
—the sepulchres of their lathers, th v
school and meeting houses, to their white
neighbors, while they retreat to the wes
tern wiids lor a home, which, even there,
they fear n ay yet be evaded, and perhaps
claimed by white men. Owdinoi Cliris-
tiai.sat lead pray lor these iambs, and I'oi
