i'» N * . v t ' FROM TDK GEORGIA MESSENGER. Tht foil-wi ig I'ulk from Geii. Gaines to th> friendly Indians at the Indian Springs, and then reply to 'hat ta.kr wore f'lrmshe I Us (or publica lion by ag-;V.leman of high respectability, ant' will serve to show the u.ler inconsistency of that ' olHier'a conduct to the nnlortu late friendly In -dians at that time, and since ; together With his only ex me for refusing them the retributive jus tice to winch the laws of their nation, of this <u lion and of almost all other nations, would enti- ] tie them. The hostile* had committed a shame ful, col 1 blooded, mi Imgni murder. And Gei Gaines says, ‘'►bad hs we may suppose them to be j it is known tlist they have laid down their arms and therefore the law» of civilized nations wd not sanction their condemnation without shear ing.” No one had ask -d Gen. Gaines, we be lieve, for their condemnation without a hearing ; but the friendly India is asked him for an opp r tunity to try them with a hearing, according t< j their own laws —this was not gran ed. “ The ( United States had, in no instance, deemed it pro- ( per to interfere in their intestine fends,” but in this instance touteboity tuierlered and prevented , the execution o justice.—What has now become ; of all hi* heart-felt snrow for the death ol hi.- , friend and ally f Is it buried in Ins friendship for , Crowell, who was Mclntosh’s enemy f ll wilt be seen that he had read their laws and was gratified to fi id none to sanguinary as that •Hedged by their eu in e.a to exist, under colour of which t was s ated they perpetrated the mur decs complained of—and yet he refused their re quest to hive the perpetrators ot those * mur ders” fried by the laws of th; land. We know not from whence Gen. Gaines re ceived his authority lor saying to the Indians that the money stipulated in the treaty to be paid u them to remunerate them f ;r their improvement-- and the expense of moving, would ba paid on the same scale of distribution as their annuity ; bu to see the injustice of such n procedure, it is on ly necessary to refer to the just and spirited re ply of the friendly Indians. Talk of Gen. Gaines la the Jriendly Chiefs at the Indian Springs. Mr Fntaxus Cntsrs asm Waaaions —I have read the account ot your wr ngs, and am ordered by your great friend and Father, the President 01 the United States to protect you from the v olenc of your enemies —to enquire into the cau-e ol your troubles, to m-tigit .- your sufferings and to restore harmony between you and tin; deluded party of your nation opposed to you. For your protection lan ail'll or zed to march an arm/ t any part of the Greek Nation, and to station it tlu re, until peace l> ; restored. To lessen thee viU of your present distressed conditi m, the Pre tide ,t has directed me to provide for the d mfor , tubl* subsistence of yourselvis and families, and to take under my protection such as may bi dis posed to revisit the nation, the Gbiefs opp .seii to you have been notified to meet me at 'he Gnat tahooohie five days from this time.- 1 shall fore warn them in strong language, of the displeasure ol the President at their past conducts and ol tin severe retaliation it will become my duty to in diet on them it their hostility should be coutinu ed. Uut should I fi id them us I h from report, to expect, sincerely lan rashness sod folly of their past coudut i ing to make atonement for the injune - > ■ .justa nad from them—l am instructed i • . to settle the differences between you wit ther'bloodshed. y-nir lamented Oeii. Mclntosh, and other . .ied who fell wuh him bad often evinced then ■i- ud ship and fidelity tons, in War and in P 't w have, therefore, heard of their death with tt..- heartfelt aorrow which the fad of lu • „ - * friend' c juld not fill to produce. You dai ! - t!' lives of those by wbon your beloved - - '. were slain. Could they be thus resin 1 < us 1 doubt not but the President would w ;T ■der me to punish their murderers. Hu'th however valued, ca not be restored to tl (.; and as the Government of the United S-.?u-s tin in no instance deemed it proper t-» it .-rltrc in the intestine feuds of our red neighbor' n chi like th? present, when their hostilities luv u continued or extended to the white inh t. t, i am not authorized under these circumstances ' 6a ictioii the measure of revenge pro - "id n y-m. If the opposite party is found to b ic ly desirutu >f p-ace, aid willing to re u ■ money and property tak -n by them, it . ,-ci e l lll.it you wdl in this case moderate ynin 1- minds, meet them in Conned, and rctu - to tin nation, tin'il you have selected your inti >! <• liJencj to the Westward. Uut should i I. i io my attempts to restore harmony—slim i your enemies determined to renew the violence against you, I/hall, in ibis cas , udvis you to remain here for a few weeks, • ■ ' > • troops are in readiness for action, when t »mi pul down every hostile hand that I find raised a gainst you. Four conduct lias been .dbereet ant it has been approved by 'he President. Whet your enemies assailed you and murdered yom criiefs, y* ir first step was to repair to your whit* friends aid appeal to them for redress. Had you 'hen determined to fbll-iw the impulse of ir ritated fa---lings, and attempted with no other thsr your own limited means to avenge your wrongs your country would tiave been involved in a hlo > dy intestine war. 1 1 such a war your whitt friends that surround you would have been for ced t > anus, in their own defence. The conse q-iences would have been fatal to most of tin red men of both parties of the Nation, for wi co-ill not always discriminate between friend; and foes. The innocent might have therefori fallen for the crimes of the guilty. Ymr wisd m and 'orbearance has enabled your father, the Pre aident. to mterpos- his authority and ricndly ad munition. A continuance of that wisdom am forbearance will enable u. to preserve yo-i fro.i a war of extermination, and to do yon that jus tice to which you have the stronger cl i ns. H v ing seen and addressed you, and having receivei from you the evidence ot your wrongs my net duty will be to see the chiefs opposed to you am to address (hem, and to hear them and their wi; nesses; for bad as we may suppose them to be it is known that they have laid down their arm; and therefore, the laws of civilized nations wi nut sanction their corn! mnation wi.hout a heai ing.—You mu-l, in the mea i time, persevere n toe judictou c -urae you have heretofore pursu el—you must bear in mind the wishes of th President which I have communicated to you be quiet and peaceable, and listen not to the bai counsels of those who would plunge you into t'v evils of war, when war would -.ot relieve, bu would inevuably add to your misfortunes. Th 20J.000 dollars due to the Indians, according! the provis-ons of the late treaty, will he witli held Irum them u til their differences are settle and I am instructed to say, that the chief wh commits furtlier violence will forfeit his share «, the money, Afier the difference* are settled, the $5200,00 will be paid on the tame tcale of distribution itheir annuity. 1 have read your laws, and am gratified to fin nnnesota gumary as that hy your em sue* to exist, under colour of which, it has bee stated, they perpetrated the murders of which you complain. Your Friend, (Signed) E. P. GAINES. Maj Gen. Cnm numUw. 7o the Chiefs find Warriors, Creek Na tion, now at Indian Springs. Indian SprirCgs, 20 ih June, 1825. General ii Friend :— Vour talk of yesterday we have, and have given to the same, proper consi eration. In some part of your talk we disagree —we will reply to it in the order you have giv n it —we are glad our father, thi President has in .trucied you to sff.rd us the protection yon offer —A number of us are anxious logo with you to llroken Arrow to the Falk (o be held there, and lesire of you to afford to, and aa c ure ns of that protection—we know our father the Pre idem wishes us to be protee'ed : so his Commissioners in the Treaty have told ns ; we will let you know to m arrow who of us wish to go to Urokuu Ar row. We have no doubt but that the information you have received, r< lating io the friendly dispo sitions of tlie hosiile Indians, is not irue —we an too near them and know too well what tlfey wisli to believe so—you may have been imposed on b bid me i who w.sh us and iur trends liirm—w ire aorry our fattier has talked o you about us as we hear from your talk—we disagree wil.t you in that talk, in this—we must have the murderers of our great Ch es and other head men given up to he tried by our Laws. If they have spilt tulood against the nation’s Law, they mii't suffer as hat law directs fur such a crime—you know our lather the President wnul-1 have called u , n our nation to give up any of our chiefs or war riors, if they had murdered any of our white bro 'hers, to be punished as the law said—We exprci and demand the same in this case—lt is right, i should be done so—not only our great Father bo fore the psesem one have said so, but the grea spirit has said so—You have said you nave read our Laws imd that you find no such Law as thu hostile Indians say our Chief Gen. Mclntosh vio lated, which caused his death—that is true, there ' is no such law nor ever was, if there had been such aw as that, and made when it is said it wan, , why were nut all nur Chiefs and head men put I nileathfor signing the Treaty made wnh the , commissioners hi this place in 1821. You can tel' imr Father that we never knew any such Law. I Had men both white and red made the story In suit them—You tell us .he dead cannot be reslnr j ed to life—we knew that belu.e— bu as they can r not, you nay we must nut ask (he law to been forced upon those who tak;- away life—That is . nut the way our white Brother j talk to one ano ther — When one of then murders another, he is tried by your Laws and if louml guilty, you p-.'i isli lihn—this ia all we ask—give us the same ,| chance —Our Law requires it—justice demand- it —anil we expect you will assist in the execution . —y-.u say cur great Father will not interfere a mong his red chd Iren when they quarrel—we were always taught to believe otherwise —that he.

The enmpt-n ation was mad entirely on account of the lo' sea sustained by the emigrating party and for expenses incurred in the act of emigrating—S'ich of the Indian- a< sold no land nor deprived themselves of any were not bound to emigrate, and of that class are in duded all thnse who reside W'-st ot the Georgia line —we live east of that line, have sold our lands ■it the request of our Father, and bound our ••'lves to go in a certain time.

The people of Georgia, in particular, hav- a deep interest in it. And it is completely in their pow er to arrest these schemes in their mad career. Governor Troup has taken a stand on.this subject which does him the highest honor. The whole of the Southern States are wi h him. They look to him as the rallying point. They congratulate them telves that the South, under its present circum stances, can boast of a citizen of such undaunted spirit. Their eyes are upon us. All their hopes hang on the of Troup.—From his de feat they anticipate disaster to the cause of South ern principles. Let the people of Georgia on the Ist Monday of October remember these things. The means of their salvation are in their own bands. He-elect Troup, and dismay will be fel' in the inmost recesses of the hostile camp. But ii Troup is turned out of office, be assured, the Northern leople will feel new courage. They will have, what they will consider, decisive evidence 'list the people of Georgia do not approve of hus (forts to protect and defend us in the possession if our slave properly ; and on this evidence they will most assuredly proceed to new effort* to take it away from us.—They are now waiting in breath less anxiety to see the result of the pending elec lion. We say, ihen, once more, let the people o Georgia look to it. We adjure them by their lovt 1 of the properly they mid their fathers have earned bv the sweat of thtir brow, we adjure them by their love of Southern feelings, of Southern habits of Southern principles, and bj' their utter abhor rence and detestation of foreign interference with their domestic affairs, to look 10 it; lor a greater calamity cannot befall 'heSouthern States t ian the rejec ion of Governor Troup, at the present mo ment. by the people of Georgia.
