Tbc Citizens of Marion county, vs. W illiams
and his Uchce Indians.
Tliii* case lias come up at Iasi, for a linal set-
tlemcnl. For a long time, a serious difficulty |
lias been browing in that quarter from this sub-1
, . c t and it has been with surprise and astonish. '
moot, that we have seen tlie citizens of Marion,
putting up with the imposition of these vaga-
bond fndians foisted upon their society, without
risinir in their strength, and driving them be-
vonif the Chattahoochee. They have not,
however, put up with this nuisance, without re
peated retnonsiranee, and efforts, to rid them-
selves, and county, of this their intolerable
grievance. They have frequently and ea most
ly requested the Williamses to send these Indians
across tlie river, to their own people, where
they properly belonged—they have alternately,
threatened and remonstrated and that lor a
Ion" time; yet their requests and threats, and
remonstrances, have alike been in vain: tin*
Indians have been kept in their very midst,
obstinately, contrary to tlie well know^and ex
pressed wishes of a largo majority of the peo
ple of tlie county. A day of reckoning lias at *
length dawned, and tlie people of that county ;
ha\°e risen in their wrath, determined in sheer j
justice to themselves and families, and in defence 1
of those moral and religious principles, which j
it is the imperative duty of every good citizen
to stand by and defend, to have these drunken
and rojrueish, and wolfish, and dangerous pests,
emigrated at once, at least beyond the confines
of their own county. Now that there is a good
chance to have them carried olF, we hope ami
trust that tlie citizens who have associated to
gether for this laudable purpose, will never
cease in ilieir praiseworthy efforts, until their
object is effected. Notwithstanding they have
been recently frustrated by llie open resistance
in arms of these Indians, headed (strange to
say) by the Williamses in person, who have said
they will defend them to the last extremity.—
We hope with the aid of our energetic and
watchful governor, and the well wishes of an
outraged community, they will go on, and never
turn back until these rascally gangs of Indians
are broken up and finally driven out of their
counly. VVe publish below a letter addressed
by his Excellency to Mr. William Williams
upon this subject, in which it will be seen, that
Governor iScliley has done all that a man can
th), to have lies difficulty settled, without the ap
plication of a military force: a more polite and
satisfactory course could not well be devised,
lhan the one suggested by his Excellency.—
But how was this received, and how were its re-
qnests treated? VVe learn from a gentleman
who btought back the result of the interview,
that Mr. Wiley Williams said, ho commanded
in tlie county of Marion, and should pay regard
lo no such or dm, and finally'set the request of
tlie governor and the company at open defiance,
having armed the Indians and a number of
white men under his control, lie is said to have
expressed himself, on tiie part of iiis company,
prepared to defend the persons of the Indians,
be the consequences what they might. We are
utterly astonished at such conduct, and when
we reflect from whom it comes, we are still more
astonished, why or how Wiley Williams should
take up arms in defence of a gang of worthless
Indians, and that, too, in defiance of the wishes
of his fellow.citizens to get rid of an evil, we are
at a loss to account. We do hope, for the re
spect in whicli that gentleman has been hereto,
fire held, and for tlie respect which should be
paid to tlie wishes of an executive, and in obe
dience to tlie wishes of his own fellow-citizens,
that he will reconsider the course whicli Ik* has
high as six hundred; but it is evident • V> i*
from three hundred a, u fifty : . . no -d
strong, exclusive of negroes; and that the ad
vantages of position are so great, that i: will
require more than an eaual fire;- to attack him
in his town. But this ought to be done with as
little delay as possible; for until this is done, we
shall constantly have their scouting -parti's to
disturb us.

A PA RTY PREFERRING MEN TO PR N-
ClPi.ES IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO
LIBER ric.—It has often been made a question,
whether the existence of parties in a republic is
beneficial, or injurious; and ingenious arguments
have been urged in support of each of the oppo
sing opinions. This question is materially mudifi.
ed by the character of the parties in each case,
and tiie principle of attraction and cohesion,
whicli draws and binds together tiie elements of
whicli they arc composed. Parties may be
founded on an attachment, either to principles,
or to men. Under most free governments there
are diffiirent systems, each of which lias its ad
vocates. Sometimes the democratic principle
contends against the aristocratic principle; and
sometimes one of these contends against the
monarchical principle. Tlie respective parti
sans ol each of these principles may honestly
believe time their own system will best advance
the happiness of their country; and being them
selves influenced by the spirit of patriotism, tin y
will check the abuses of power in their leaders.
The rivalry of parties of this character is bene
ficial to a republic. The success of any one
of them only increases to some limited extent,
tiie influence of its favorite principle; while the
watchful rivalry of its opponent, and the danger
of losing its reputation and superiority by a
buses of its power, will guard it against excess
es. Dissentions between tlie patricians and the
plebeians, the aristocratic, and the democratic
parties long disturbed tiie peace of Rome; but
amid these tumults, liberty was not destroyed
When the aristocratic party prevailed, tlie free-
A small portion of the old Clarke party, ap
parently unconscious of tiie obliquity of their
course, have fallen into the error which we
have been exposing. They felt a natural and
just affection for Judge White, while he was
co-operating with them in maintaining principles
which they believed to be essen'ial to the pros,
po'-ity of their country. Judge White has since
associated himself with the vvhigs and nullifiers,
o are enemies to those principles; his success
•-oita! defeat those principh s. Should lie be
elected to the presidency; lie will owe his eleva
tion to Clay, and Webster, and Calhoun, with
their friends. He will *be obliged to lean on
these men; they will organize Iiis cabinet, and
direct bis measures. Should he endeavor to
make himself independent of these, his suppoit-
ers, he will have no resource left; for the de
mocratic parly tias long since ceased to confide
ui him. There is now an inflamed and angry
opposition between him and tlie democratic
party, which has produced mutual dislike and
resentment. They regard him as the ally of
ieir enemies, and the enemy of their princi
ples. Why should a Union man any longer
support iiitn? Is it to maintain his consistency?
How can a man be consistent, when he acts in
opposition to his principles? Ah! but some men
prove their consistency, by their uniform sup
port of Judge White! This is the very fault
which we charge on them. Consistency in
supporting Judge White they deem more im
portant, lhan consistency' in maintaining tiie
principles of the Union party. They are more
attached to men than to principles. They arc
cherishing that kind of spirit, and attempting
to form that kind of party, which in every ag<J
have furnished usurpers with instruments for
destroying tiie liberty of their country'. Their
consistency is misplaced. It should he evinced
in endeavors to secure the success uf their prin
ciples. We do not question the lionesiy of their
intentions; but they are at best shallow politi
cians, who prefer men to principles. They are
prepared to be the pliant tools of any man who
can win their confidence. Thev are the ma
terials which a usurper would select to under
mine the principles of the party' which had
raised him, and to overthrow the liberties of
his country. They are not devoid of integri
ty or patriotism; but their attachment to their
leader supersedes their attachment to their
principles.
Let those upright and patriotic old Clarke
men, who still cling with fond partiality to
Judge White, examine this subject with calm
ness and candor; and they will find, that they
preserve consistency, where it is a foible, and
abandon it, where it is a virtue.
lorn of the people was abridged; blit more rigid
thought proper to take, and prevent anv further j orc i° r was established in the government; and
difficulty on this subject, by sending these litdi-1 ,icr diciplined armies of freemen were led forth
ans oil* at once. If however, this is not done, ; to victory and conquest. \Y lien the democratic
and should the declarations which tie is said to , purty was sucoo««iu!, the rights of the people
have made, be carried out, then would we say
that forbearance in suffering these Indians to
remain longer on the soil of Georgia will cease
to be a virtue, and that force must be met with
force.

St. Augustine, Florida, June 4.
TOP-KO-LI-KY.—This is an Indian town,
the residence of a well known chief of the name
of Philip, and of liistrih.**. The distance from
°L Augustine to it is over one hundred miles, in
nearly a south direction, bearing a little west,
but by the accessible route near one hundred
and fifty miles. From the Spring Garden it is
near eighty miles, and to Palaklikaha, which
lies west, it is about the same distance. Philip
formerly resided at the Wakahowta town, which
lies about four miles west ot the St. Johns,
where tlie Indians trail to Topkoliky crossed it,
hut for some years lie lias resided at the latter
place.
Wc are told that at Topkoliky there is a
large lake, in whicli are several islands, upon
the largest of which Phillip has established his
town, and that this island is surrounded by wa
ter, so deep that it cannot be forded, except in
°ae place, and that it cannot be approached from
any point without a discovery. Here, it is said
hilip is now residing with his women, children,
o’d men and negroes, attending to the cultiva
tion of their crops, whilst his wttrriors arc ma-
rauding about the country. The lake shore is
surrounded by small hammocks and Indian set
tlements.
" Philip’s band is here, it is desirable that it
should be dislodged and punished. He has
done
more mjurv to the property of the inhabt-
der. This heterogeneous parly was not mark-
od by attachment to any set of political princi
ples; hut it was devoted to Caesar, as its victori
ous leader. ' Its own desires were fulfilled, in
acquiring supreme power for the dictator. It
was a proper tool for a usurper; and under its
blows liberty perished. After his death, the
satne party, actuated by no political principles,
attached itself to Octavius, tiie nephew of Julius
Caesar; and succeeded in erecting a lasting ties-
potism over their country. Here was a party,
on whose banner the motto might justly be in
scribed, “Men, not Principles.”
History is replete with instructive examples
of tlie pernicious tendency of parties held to-
get her by affection for particular leaders. We
will briefly refer to one instance, selected from
the age which has just passed by. When Buon-
aparte commenced his career, he connected
liimseif with the republican party of France.—
Bui at heart lie was no republican. Ho soon
began to form a party, consisting of men devot
ed m his personal aggrandizement, and looking
for their happiness, not in the prosperity of their
country, but in tiie wealth and lionots which
their successful leader might be able to shower
THE DEPOSITES.—Congress has passed
i law to regulate the deposites, of which tlie
following are the principal features.
The money of the United Slates is to be de-
posited in banks chartered by the States, by the
territories, and by the district of Columbia, at
or near where the revenue is collected; at least
one bank to bo employed in each State or terri
tory, if there be one willing and qualified to be
such depository; an amount shall not re
main in deposite in any bank, exceeding three
fourths of the amount of its capital paid in; no
bank lo be selected, until it shall have informed
the secretary of tlie treasury, of its condition,
and furnished him with a copy of its charter:
the banks to make regular returns to the secre
tary, of their condition; to pay all checks,
warrants, or drafts on the deposites, in specie, if
required by tlie holder; to transfer tiie public
funds to places where they are wanted, without
charge on tlie government; to render to the
government of the United States all the duties
and services required by law ol the late United
States’ Bank; no bank to be selected or con
tinued, which does nol redeem its notes and bills
on demand, in specie; or which shall issue bills
of a less denomination than five dollars; the
secretary to be authorized to require from the
banks, collateral or additional security; no bank,
after being selected, to be discontinued by tlie
secretary, unless for failure to fulfil tlie condi
tions specified; the secretary to make annual
reports to congress, of the condition of the batiks
employed; when tlie amount of tlie deposites in
any bank, for the whole of a quarter of a year,
shall exceed one fourtli of its capaitai paid in,
such bank to pay interest at the rate of two
per cent, per annum, on the excess over one
fourth of its capital; no transfers to be made by
the secretary, from one bank to another, (or the
accommodation of such other banks; tlie money
in the treasury', on the 1st of Jaunarv 1337,
after reserving five millions of dollars, to be de
posited with the Slates, in proportion lo thei?
representation in the seriate and house of repre.
sentatives; the States to give certificates of
such deposite, setting forth the usual and legal
obligations, and pledging the faith of the State
for the safe keeping and repayment thereof; the
said money, when wanted to meet appropriations
made by 7 law, to be call' d for in rateable pro
portions, in sums not toexceed ten thousand dol
lars, from any one State, in any month, without
previous notice of thirty days, for every addi
tional sum of twenty thousand dollars; the said
sums tube deposited with the States, in the follow
ing manner, one fourth on the 1st of January
1837, one fourth on the 1st of April, one fourth
on the 1st of July, and one fourth on the 1st of
October of that vear.
Letter lo the editor, from a distinguished of
ficer in the army.
Fort Mitchell, Alabama,
July 2, 1330.
Dear Sir—The war is at an end, without
the army’s firing a gun. General Scott has
just readied this place; after a thorough traverse
of tiie Creek nation far the last ten days.—
The Indians finding themselves most complete-
lv surrounded by overwhelming numbers, have
from day to day surrendered and been captured
without giving us the first appearance of a fight.
On yesterday', the noted Jim llenry and his
band, were taken by a part of the army. Tlie
Chiefs and murderers, who can be identified, of
this unfortunate race, will be put to death, the {
others will be forthwith sent to the West. A
small party of tiie Hitchilees have attempted
their escape to Florida, but we Irust have been
overtaken by three horse companies, who loft
Roanoke eight days since in hot pursuit.
* Letter to tlie editor, from an intelligent friend,
attached to the army’.
Fort Mitchell, Alabama.
June 20, 1830.
Dear Col.—For several day's, having fruit
lessly attempted to join tlie Georgia troops from
this point, I have been occupied in gathering up
HI the scraps of intelligence, rumors, gossip,
&c. with which a garrison abounds: but i have
only gleaned.
General Jessup is here, anti has been here
for several days. The Alabama troops, under
his command, left this two days since to take
post twenty.one miles west of this. Tlie fifteen
hundred friendly' Indians, operating heretofore
with those troops, have dispersed, and gone
hone; several causes are assigned for this, one
the refusal of general J. to cause them to be
Fed, their own impatience at the inaction, or tar
diness of the movements of the whites, and
finally tlie fact that some of the Alabama troops
wantonly murdered a few friendly Indians, with
a full knowledge that they were so, and whilst
actively employed in ferreting out the liostilcs.
No censure should attach to the people of'Aia-
bama for this violation of good faith, and cow
ardly conduct; for I believe every intelligent
man of them condemns tiie act, and is anxious
for the punishment of the assassins. It strikes
me the commanding general (general Jessup)
should have made them suffer by the summary-
process of a court martial: one thing is certain,
the honor of Alabama requires the application
of the lex talionis.
About three hundred warriors are confined
here as prisoners, many in irons, few are cap
tives, and all I am informed have been brought
in by the friendly Indians, whose invaluable aid
in this sort of warfare has not been appreciated.
I detest the principle of employing one portion
of a people in tlie subjugation of the oilier.—
It has been done nevertheless, and all the good
so far achieved has been through their instru
mentality. It is the impression of the officers
here and more especially of geueral Jessup,
that the campaign is nearly ended, that not more
lhan a hundred or two of hostiles are vet in
arms. J think, from the investigation which I
have made into this matter, his conclusion is er
roneous, perhaps widely erroneous. The war
if ended, will arise from the fact solely, that the
hostiles have now no leader ot a fierce, bold,
and military genius, to plan, to execute, and to
control them. It is a strange calculation that
nearly all the liostilcs arc prisoners and disarm-
ed. (I wish it were so-) Indian countrymen, and
whites intimately acquainted wit. -\U the tribes
and individuals thereof, say ihcie c live thou
sand Creek warriors in all at tcu^r. two thou
sand only are known to be friendly; three
hundred of three thousand are alone accounted
for; where are the remaining two thousand se
ven hundred? Most likely many of this num
ber are in their huts, neutral from fear, many,
more indeed scattered in small parties over the
whole of the Creek territory. A portion have
escaped to Florida: so an express states, say
two hundred in one body; some few are with tlie
Cherokees. I cannot think that there are less
than twelve to eighteen hundred yet in this
country doing mischief in small parties; they
will not and cannot concentrate and fight us.—
I ‘liink the key to tlie enigma of all these di
minutions of number, &c. is to wound tbe mili
tary reputation of General Scott; he has a host
of enemies, and mark it, in order to stab the
deeper, all, all of good accomplished, will be
set down as performed by general Jessup; all of
bad, or misfortune, or accident ascribed to the
unskilfulness, and tardiness of general Scott.—
No impartial and honest man, who knows all
that has been done by ihe latter, but will say,
unless deterred from doing justice by the extent
ol an unaccountable prejudice, that he has done
every thing which a good general and patriot
should have done, could have done with tiie em
barrassments attending the arming of the Geor
gia troops:
It I know myself, I would not rob general
Jessup’s brow of a leaf, to place upon general
Scott: the latter does nol need it; history is al-
readly full of Ins fame, and I have much mista
ken the character of general Jessup, if he either
desires such honor as some are ready to ascribe
im, or
efficient officer, captain Pago. What disposi
tion to make of some five or six chiefs and lead
ers of the hostiles, is tlie fruitful topic of debate.
Hang them, say tiie whites; kill them, say tlie
friendly Indians. Dut it will all end in the
courts, where no evidence (technical I mean)
can bo had, and tiie murderer escapes. Go-
vernor Schley has just got over to this place,
and will probably demand some of the scoun
drels who burnt Roanoke, &c. It is a push-pin

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hillsborough, J'l'ir 8. ISttf,.
From letters received f. om a gentleman of high rrs|‘tv:a-
tiiiity from the neighborhood of Tarversville, Twiggs coun
ty, and other suspicious circumstances relative to ilic cha
racter of a man who styles himself the It v. Aaron Kitoh-
ell, and says lie is from the State of New Jersey, it appeared
highly probable that he was carrying on a communication
with our black population highly injurious lo Southern inn*, j
rest and safety. It was deemed prudent to assemble the ci
tizens of ibis place and vicinity, to adopt measures which
might tend to put a stop to so dangerous an outrage.
The citizens having assembh-d, Guthbert Reese Ksq. was
called to lire Chair, and Dr. Robert A. T. Ridley requested
to act as Secretary.
On motion of William Phillips Esq. a committee consist
ing of three were appointed, viz: Colonel F. M. White.
John G. Morris and William Mpbley, to invite Dr. B. R.
Thomas to lie 1 nevting, who, it was understood, was in
po.-session of tads confirmatory of tiie statements made in
the letters above alluded to. He was accordingly intro
duced and fully confirmed the fads as set forth in the Id
lers.
UnJpr these eirenmetanres, the said Ivitchell was taken
up, and his papers examined; amongst them were found va
rious certificates, one .of which ii * aekno .vl alged was forg
ed by 7 hirnsel', and from the great similarity of hand writing
there "was hardly a doubl b :t that ha had made the most of
them.
Whereupon, on motion of Colonel F. M. While, n com
mittee of twelve persons were appointed by the Chair to
advise arid report what course should be pursued with the
said A. \V. Kiteheli.
The Coinmiitee, consisting of Isaac T. Moreland, Wilk
ins Jackson Esq. William Phillips Esq. Thomas J. Smith,
Dr. K. C. Clayton, Color; 1 F. >1. White, Albert Alexander,
Joseph C. White, Major J. C. Weckes, John G. Morris, E.
C. Butt, and .1 tin 's Johnton l’.-q. retired, and after some
time, made tlie. f .Pawing report, which was concurred in
by every individual present.
Tlie Committee, to whom was referret! the ease of the
Rev. A. \Y Ivitchell, rej art, that, upon examination, thpy
find sundry certificates :r - oilier papers of a suspicious cha
racter, and have thought proper to retain the same in the
hands of the becrelary until further information is obtained
concerning them.
The Committee would advise that the said Kiteheli
should he rede around the village on a rail with a hand of
all kinds of music playing the Hogue's March—that his
head should then be tnrr . 1 and feathered, and again rode
around the village as before—that he should al.-o leave the
.State within ten days from tills time, under the penalty of
Lynch's Law.
Upon motion, it was resolved, That the proceedings of
this meeting be published in the public gazettes of Milledge-
ville, with a request that limy be republished in all papers
opposed to the flendliko purposes of Northern Abolitionists.

WASHINGTON CITY VOLUNTEERS.
—A company of volunteers, eighty-two strong,
raised in tlie city 7 of Washington, for a term of
twelve months, under the Into act of congress
for the protection of the frontiers, commanded
bv captain Robinson, arrived in Miiiedgevilleon
the 1st instant. After partaking of a collation
with tiie citizens, they continued their march
westward, on the same day.
TIIE CREEK WAR ENDED. The
Creeks have abandoned the struggle. Generals
Scott and Sanlbrd, with the Georgia troops and
United States’ regulars, and a body of ftiendly
Indians, have traversed the Creek country,
without encountering the smallest show of rp-
sistanco. The Indians every where submitted.

could lead them, after the capture of Neah-E-

lor those which they say ho has been prevented
from performing, by not having the superior
command. Tiie truth of the matter is, the bad
feeling of many towards general Scott has at
tempted and may effectually do what they seek,
increase the slight misunderstanding of two
friends who acquired their honors on the same
hard fought battle fields, into an irreparable
breach, a bitter hatred. This should be prevent,
ed, and the good sense of both of them, as also
that of those who hold them both as distinguish
ed public benefactors, is requisite at this time to
arrest the growth of misconception.
Generals Scott and Sanford are on this slue
of the river, and 1 suppose some twenty.five
miles below this; more than probable detained

This is one ot the glorious consequences of cha
sing Indians, without inquiring, or pausing to
ask, whither are we pursuing them, and to
what end? A few weeks more, and the volun
teers will doubtlessly be disbanded, leaving tiie
regular force collected and collecting in this re
gion, to carry out tiie work begun. The en-
