gjMgggaWl r—BßMlfi’Wth constitutionalist. Ji U G rs I'Ji. TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1825. It is quite evident that an attempt will | j be made to set aside the late Treaty with y the Creeks. The enemies of Governor U Troup have not only endeavoured to prevent a cession of territory during his adminis tration, but •when that object is accomplish ed notwithstanding their machinations— £ they set themselves to work to defeat and i destroy it. As I>r the Indians—the poor Indians—they are but clay in the hands of 1 the potter, and may be moulded just as the policy or caprice of those immediately su perintending them shall direct, if regard; and feeling for their futuie destiny had a-| lone governed, M* In tosh instead of Inga cruel death, would now be exploring, , in the fullness of strength and enterprise, < the country beyond the Mississippi,-and the 1 proper department at Washington might be ! employed in framing a code of law for the government and civilisation of his wretch-j ed countrymen, ilul intrigue ever wars | against the purposes of humanity, and 1 would bend all tilings to the promotion of j its own selfishness. N T o sooner is Gover nor Troup brought into office than mea sures are taken to prevent the acqui itionj of hinds, because it was believed his popu-1 larky would be enhanced by it; and these, measures are daringly adopted, in hostility ; to the good faith of the United States, amlj the best interests both of G orgia and tliCj Indians. But why repeat the often told 1 story ? The land lias been acquired—the treaty, framed by Commissioners appointed by the United States—has been solemnly ratified by the Senate, and yet an effort will be made to take these lands fiom Georgia ami to declare the treaty null and void. We trust that we may be deceived—but the language of the South-Carolina writers, and of some of the northern prints—the gene ral teutrof Maj. Andrews correspondence wi h the Governor—and the whisperings of certain politicians within our own state, yield just reason fir apprehension. And why should the treaty be put down r—We are old tha it i- tainted with fiaud. Is this oossible ? Made as it was under the ins iuciions of the general Govmunent, and by persons possessing die confidence of the IVcsidcnt, is it reasonable to suppose that the Indians have been cheated out of their lands i —We must believe that this treaty does not differ from others with the tribes of the forest, and that al though he advantages of talent and skill in t he negociation were of curse on our side, the Commissioners obeyed their instructions, and that these did out authorise the practice of chicanery or fraud. Why then Ineak the treaty ? If we were at the elbow of the President and not too much awed by the “ pomp and circumstance” of the pa lace, it is pivbi.ble we should hold some such plain language as this—“ Sir—Geor gia asks nothing bui justice, vhich she con fide,’.dy expecis to receive from the hands of du U. Slates, While however an at tempt is made to fix a bias upon.your mind against Go ernor Troup and the Legisla ture of Georgia, inquire, we pray you, in to the disinterestedness of those who de sire the downfall of both. With what view is it that some politicians of our sis ter and neighbor state point to the massa cre of MTntosb, as an evidence of Indian civilization and cry out against the treaty— the Commissioners and Governor Troup } why does the minority in Georgia endeavor “ by all means” to put the Governor down, although it does not as yet oppose itself o petply to the Treaty ?—Why, at the last pre sidential election South-Carolina supported General Jackson, and so did the minority here. If Governor Troup be out of the way and the reins of government taken from I the hands of his polilical friends—Georgia might he brought to vote with South-Caroli na in the r/i.vnmg election. Think—Sir— of these thugs; we trust and believe that you are and will be governed by higher motives than can be, derived from die ambitious love of place and power: but you will certain ly take care how you deliver the cudgel! to those who may “ cause it to descend upon your own head.” And having so said wo should respectfully leave the Presidi nt in his meditations. —QtQQ — Shipwreck. — Capt. James Hart, mate ami ci'i-w, late of the light vessel, in'emleo for Carysfort Reef, arrived at this p..n \cs t terday afternoon. The light vessel sailed from New-York on Ike 7th of June, and on the 9th ilist, in a fresh gale from the south, having missed stays, went ashore on the Florida Coast, in hit. 26, SO. A tent was erected near the wreck ashore, where the captain and crew remained eight days, w hen a small schooner was procured near Cape Florida, called the Good Intent, Captain Churchill, in which they took passage, with such articles saved as the boat could carry, and arrived here as stated above.— The vessel is totally lost.

We are too mucii pressed for room to pursue the subject this week, further than to call the readers attention to ike fol lowing extract- from (be Boston Centinel. From a lute Centinel “It seems that come hat will the Gun powdei Governor of Georgia is determined to make an explosion on this subject. He possibly may blow up but one and that one himself, lie may “ bite his thumb ” once too often.” From the Boston Centinel, dated January 18, 1813, “ If this war is to be supported by loans, paper stock will breed as fast and faster than |M m inus. 'The fleeces, if your pastures are good, will yield the interest; but for your j interest of paper stock you must yield, a fleece of loans annually from your own pock lets. The admiral and the purser have in formed the crew, that they have but tew shot in tlie locker—they must be replenished or the war laurels will wither. In the old wyr when priv it: men were public creditors and became somewhat impatient of public delay, the administration would promise them one new dollar for two hundred old ones and fry their patience again My brother Farmers ij you have money to let. let it lie. If the war continues you will purchase stock at four years old cheaper than you can raise it. .St) UNJUST IS THIS OFFENSIVE WAR IN WHICH Gill RULERS HAVE BLUNGED US, in the sober consideration of millions, that they cannot eonscitlumus ly approach the God of armies for his bless ings upon it.” 'j 'These people no doubt well recollect the 1 part Gov Troup took in the halls of Con ■ gress to sustain the nation at the mo-1 gloo , my period of (lie late war and are now deter [■ mined to have revenge. What other possi hie m‘"ive can induce them to commit these wanton depredations on the character .m( 1 reputation of a man whose only crime is In s ardor of his devotion to the prosper! y of tin , union, and the rights of his State, [ /hid. I To the Editors oj the Southern Recorder. Columbia, (s o.) 4th July, 1825. Gentlemen —The letter from thi- place o ’ the 15th ult, and which appeared in youi paper id the 21st, has given no little uinbragi . to certain characters ; tor until now, it wai f not supposed (hat any one here would dan , even breathe a whisper against the pure am immaculate gentry who have made them jsclves sa conspicuous for their "officious in ' termhldling” with the interest of Georgia. - Be pleased to slate in your next, that tin . i letter of the 15th, which has given so mud :umbrage, was written by a citizen (not <• 9 j gentleman*) of Columbia, who was bon ‘ (here) and lives there ; and that ke is a per I son who neither seeks the smiles or fears tin . frowns of “ Philo-Justice., n his master, oi any of the clan of officious intermeddlers ;And that he strongly suspects the same mo lives have influenced certain of the tribe o t Mischief-makers, as were manifested ly . some of the Yazoo Speculators. “ Philo .
