CONSTIT UTIO N A LIST. f -■ ■ ( A U GUST A. ' - ti FRIDAY. JULY 22, 1825. I ~ . rr— v We presume Mr. Adams will be not a a little mortified, when he peruses the diplo- t matic lucubrations of the pen-flourishing c Major Andrews. Doing one ot the Pa- J lace, this gentleman has apparently deter- j mined to do every thing, according to his \ own conception of tire grand stile of the s court. He obviously aims at what is some- J times called, a “ touch above the vulgar,” and expects to astonish the poor Georgians, t by his sublime verbosity, and the second ( hand graces of his most courteous courtesy. s He reminds us of some of our dusky va- ' lets, who having taken lessons in the amia • lie, and gleaned a few hard words, while , serving behind their master’s chairs, under- I take with an air of the most comic dandy ism, to enact the supreme bon ton at a < corner, for the benefit of their less ( fortunate brethren. The encomiastic por- | tion of the correspondence is not the least amusing ; and we should suppose to its i subjects, not the least annoying. The Pre sident and the War Chief can scarcely ' think it creditable, that their envoy should appear to consider himself a commissioned trumpeter of their praises. Gov. Troup would probably relinquish his share of the eulogium.—He may wish to have the true value stamped on his character ; but per- , Ijiaps does not consider Mr. Andrews the < master of the mint. And John Crowell, ' poor John ! how awkward (we will not say ' blushing) he must feel, at being held up for his “inflexible firmness and integrity,” when it seems his ruling motive in the af fair, was a determination to violate the most sacred duties, by resisting a cession until Georgia should elect a Governor more suited to his taste ! Such a panegyric sa vours of the bitterest irony where he is known ; and may provoke enquiry where he is not. The Agent himself is doubtless but little pleased with his new plumage; far he knows the pit too well, not to be sen sible that it must all be pecked off. We are indignant as Georgians, that such men should have any influence on our af fairs, and mortified as citizens of the Uni ted States, that the general Government has not selected better Representatives. The Season, so far, m this section of the state, has been higuly encouraging to the husbandman. The dry weather which pre vailed a few weeks since, has been succeed- 1 ed by plentiful rains, and the crops, both of Corn aid Cotton, a e generally very promising. Missionary.

On Monday last a man by the name of \ Randolph Alexander, of Union district, was detected by one of our police officers, I in passing counterfeit bills of the Bank of 1 Augusta, Georgia, he was brought up before the intendantand underwentanexarnination. I He m his possession about eighty dollars < in five and two dollar bills of the Bank of- Augusta, which was evidently forgeries—the execution was badly done and easdy detect ed by those acquainted with the genuine bills ot that Bank, and the paper was much inferi or to the paper used by that institution. However n wdl be the duty of our citizens to be careful in receiving bills of the above denomination, as there is doubtless many of thorn in circulation, [Columbia ic/es. in. The amount of Bank of England paper now in circulation is about twenty million pounds sterling, or something more than eiguty-eight million dollars. During part the time in winch specie payments were sns pended, the paper emissions of the Banks in tin*country, amounted to two hundred and fifty million dollars.— Phil. Gaz.

Long Island. — Courier , The people of Georgia have been lately favored with numerous extracts from the pa pers of other states, denouncing Governor Troup for what they are pleased to call his attempt to sever the Union. We have ta ken some little trouble to examine these f wanton attacks on a worthy man, and as ( ardent a iriend ot the Union as lives; and , c to ascertain something of the history and v character in past times of those who thus re f vile him. The result is that we have found , them, with a few exceptions, to be those very „ persons who in the late war opposed the go- j vernment, grieved at our success both by v sea and land, and rejoiced in our defeat. The very same party, and the very same prints ' that were the advocates of the Hartford < Convention, now denounce Gov. Troup as a g traitor, and (he Legislature of Georgia, as a g collection of fools.—What can have wrought ( such a change in these self styled friends of t Union? Now they manifest the utmost alarm j at even imaginary dangers to the safety and J integrity of the Union—during the war they 1 ] could boldly advance and support such sen- , timents as the following: ( During the war Mr. Harrison G. Otis de- ' dared publicly, that i “ The constitution had failed to secure to ’> the New England states the object of its ' formation.” ( Mr. Blake said in the Senate of Massa- < chusetts, that | “ The constitution must be taken to pie- i ces, and another built up, and that such was I the business of the Hartford Convention.” 1 In a letter to James Madison, a federalist ' expressed himself thus : “ Is there a federalist, patriot in America, < who conceives it Ids duty to shed his blood 1 for Bonaparte, for Madison, for Jefferson, 1 and that host of ruffians in Congress? A separation of the states will be inevitable re sult. Motives numerous and urgent will demand that measure. You have carried your oppressions to the utmost stretch.—We will no longer submit. Let then the commercial stales breast themselves to the shock, and know that to thnnselves they must look for safety. Then, and not till then, shall they humble the pride and ambition of Virginia, whose strength lies in their weakness, and chastise the insolence of thos3 mad-men of Kentucky and Tennessee. Will federal ists subscribe to the loan ; will they lend money to our national rulers? it is impossi ble.” v In the Boston Centinel the following was 1 published: • “ Any federalist who lends money to gov- 1 eminent must go and shake hands with James ' Madison, and claim fellowship with Felix Gi undy. Let him no more call himself a ‘ federalist, and a friend of his country ! He * will be called by others irfamous ///” ' From the pulpit such sentiments were I heard ; 1 1 he union has been long since virtually 1 dissolved, and it is full time that this part of ! the disunited states should take care of it- ' self. The great commercial states are tail ing a sacrifice to the lawless, unholy, wick ed ambition ofafew southern planters.” The language of a federalist on the 6th of September, 18J2, is more to the point, and shows the real intentions of the party : “ I believe the present government of the Lulled States to be a disgraceful and pusil lanimous government; and while it contin ues, the country will never gain respect eith ei at home or abroad. I hope a monarchv will be established, and I, would vote for a ' king to-morrow provided the candidate should not be a democrat, but some such man as Christopher Gore.” ' The present mayor of Boston, Josiah 1 Quincy, introduced the resolution in the Senate of Massachusetts. “ I hat it was unbecoming a moral and re ligious people to rejoice over victories gain ed in a certain unjust and unnatural war”, 1 —the last war with Great Britain. j [Milledgeville Journal.

Among the various articles going the rounds ot the newspapers, in relation to the iitfaiisuf the Creek Indians, we observe a highly colored and partial narrative from the , pen ot the Rev. L.

We would ven- , ture to make the suggestion to all mission n aiies, that, wherever limy may be sent, they had much better confine themselves to the duties of (heir calling than to busy them-! selves about political occurrences, 'This is' the only course winch can indu :e a tolera.ion of the missionary system abroad, or its sup port at home, In the present instance we see a minister if the gospel of peace p, dinting .and excusi eg the most soul harrowin o - * -enes ol butchery, and ill the evils which fallow in n- train d the dagger of toe ass ssm and | the fire brand of the incendiary. £ lbid . | IMPORTANT INDIAN TREATIES. Extract of a tetter to the Editor of the Mis souri Intelligencer, dated Saint Louis June 4. “ Dear Sir — l have the pleasure to in form you that treaties have been concluded by General Clark, with the Rauzas and Os ajre Indians, for the cession of all the land which they held within the state, and also for a considerable District of country west of Missouri and Arkansas. Several new and advantageous stipulations have been introduced into these treaties. The Rau zas are to pay for all horses or other pro perty stolen or taken by them from the white people since the year 1815, and the Usages are in like manner to pay for all similar depredations committed by them since the year 1808. These stipulations, of course, cannot take effect until after the treaties are ratified by the President and Senate, when, upon proof being made to the superintendent of Indian affairs at St. Louis, payment will be made. The sum of eight thousand dollars is appropriated by the treaties to these indemnities. These Indians are also to pay for all future inju ries of the same kind, the amount of which is to be annually stopped out of their an nuities on making proof to the agents of the value of the property taken. The coun try west of Missouri and Arkansas is ap propriated to the use of the Rauzas and Us ages, and of the other Indians now within the limits of this state, none of whom are to settle within twenty leagues of our boun dary. “ Thus these important treaties have been concluded, by virtue of which the beautiful tract of country on the western border of this state will be laid open to the settle ment of the white people, and the whole state is to be freed from the nuisance of an Indian population. Many of our frontier citizens adventurers to Mexico, will be in demnified for their losses, and the obliga tion to pay for thefts and robberies out of their annuities, will operate as a security against future depredations, and will make the whole nations responsible for the good behaviour of.each individual. The stipula tion to prevent all Indians from settling within sixty miles of our boundary, is one of the wisest ever put into a treaty. It will be advantageous to both Indians and white people, for it will leave a clear space be tween them, wide enough to prevent en croachments on each other’s territory, and allow room for stock to range without get ting upon Indian land and giving the In dians a pretext for killing and stealing it. Upon the whole, these are two of the most advantageous' treaties ever made for Mis souri, and must have the effect of giving tranquillity to her frontier, securing it a gaiust future interruption from Indians, bringing a beautiful part of country into cultivation, greatly increasing, the stream of emgration to our western border, and giv ing it a dense and poweiful population which will forever place it beyond the dread of Indian wars.” An Arkansas Gazette of the 7th ult. we find it staled that Major Philips, Paymas ter, and Licuts. Dawson and Bonneville, of the 7th United Slates Infantry, had left Cantonment Gibson, Major Philips was on his return to the Head Quarters of the Western Military Department. I.ieut. daw son is on his way to this city, to be attach ed to Major-General Brown ; and Lieut. Bonneville, having obtained a furlough, in tends to visit France, which is his native country. The troops were all in good health, and the Indians quiet. The two Usages, Mad Buffalo and Little Eagle, who were lately condemned to death for murder, and pardoned by the President, had reached their nation. They had sepa rated at the commencement of their jour ney, and taken different routes. Mad Buf falo reached home in a state of starvation ; while the other had fared sumptuously on deer and turkeys which he found. They are said to be dissatisfied with iheir impris onment, and to have given a ludicrous ac count of the manner ol their trial and treat - ment. The following is an extract of a letter to the Editor, dated “ Miller County, May 2(>lh, 1825. " Gu the 17th inst. and several subse quent days, a Court of Inquiry, composed of Col. Archer, Lt. Col. Many, and Capt. .Young, was held at Cantonment I’owson, to investigate the conduct of the Officers at that post, on a charge of resisting the civil authority ot this Territory in the recent rupture with the citizens, I would give it as my private opinion, that the affair will eventuate more favorably to the Officers than has generally been contemplated.” [National Journal, July Oth. -Hii" Freuty with the Indians. —His excellen cy Gov.

Our Government has been induced to me diate between the contending parties, equal ly, 0) motives ot Humanity as it relate-, to ' lie Indians, and ot sound policy us it re | lales to ourselves. It will be recollected, jthat four of our citizens were killed last >- summer upon Lake Pepin, by a tvar party of *• Chippewas, and the government could no longer delay taki..g measures to put an end , to this exterminating and cruel war, which i| interrupted the intercourse of our traders . and the safety of our citizens in that region. | rhe missions from these several tribes to a Washington last summer, was connected t with the measures now pursuing for their v general gratification. , We understand the Governor will be ac . companied by Maj.
