was linked murder. Tho shallow pretence rtf a
law, and tiie judgment of a Council, was got up
ex post facto. 1 appeal to those who are cunvfer-
sant with tne laws and aiisloms rtf the Indians, it
such a law etiuid.liave existed without the know

in the reach of his valiant arm.
Thu; rtiurder of Mcliitosb—tliti defathation of

military force to coerce her to submission—were
followed by the traduction of two of her cherish

•'the children of the forest,”, ivlio were'represept-

offered to entice them from (jte graves of tlmir fa-
theta, ond resolutely determined never to abandon
them. The incidents ot the plot, belngthus pre

in impodng pn the simplicity of this government,
next concert, under its eye, and with its kpnw-
ledge, the means ftl defrauding its own constitu

For their agency irf (Sxrltlng the Creeks to re
sist tho forher treaty, and in deluding this Gov-
eminent to annul it, three ChorokeeS, Ridge,
Viuih, and the father of the former, are to receive
boKtv Trfou*Ai»D' Doli.aks of the money stipulat
ed to he nnid by the UiHled States to the chiefs of
the Creek Nation;, and the Government, when in-
foroied'of the projected Irnud, deems'itself pow
erless ton vert it. Nay when nppriced hy your
ntnendmonl, that you also had detected it, that
Government does licit hesitate to interpose, by one
of i,ts high ■functionaries, t i resist your proceed
ing; ny a singular futility, thus giving its roun
tenanco and support to the comniisston of (he
fraud. Sir, I speuk of what has passed before
your eyes, even in this Imll.
’ One-fifth of the wb. Ic purchase money is (o be
given to three tiherokees. Ten thousand dollars
to toward pee of tho heroes' uf Fort Mlntif—n
boon' which ft so weti becomes us to b'estow. A

great body of the Chiefs and Warrior^ of the nH
tioru But It b) (It? price pf,blood— Ihe blood of
McIntosh. Shall it hot. be freely distributed
among those who shed it? And think you, the
Chiefs and Warriors ugninst whom' this audacious
fraud fs meditated, wltl tamely acquiesce In it?
Armed with this damning proof of the ciirrupflpn
of their adversaries, will the .followers of Mein-
tosh sleep? Sir, if one spark of hi* gallon! spirit
S et tirtgei's among them, especlaUy U ft burns as

rtf Muscogee, Will again become tiie .error of Ids
fooa. . . ;
But the adminfstratfon, though if condemns the
fraud, thinks that’ we have no, power to pr( vent
Ks consummation. Wliat, sir, have we no power
to see that pur own treaty is carried into effect?
Haw we ho interest .in, doing so? . .,
Have we nf> power? We have stipulated for Ipe
payment of fwo hundred and forty-seven thous
and dollars to the Chiefs'of tiie Creek Nation, to
: be distributed among the Chiefs, and Warriors of
that, nation. Is hot the dtitribufion, part of t e
Contract as well as the payment? We know thi\t

savage tribe, which you chtise to .dignify with tne

to defraud tiie people who trusted them? Sir, the
proposition is absurd, .. .
But linvrt wo nrt ihterest. in preventing this
frttid? What if the great body of the nation, dis-
claiming the Validity of a treaty, tht* coaslfieration

which you haVe paid with a‘ knowledge of the

It is another miscralilp,suggestion, prominently

who were lo share tl.e spoils, consented tq the

And ili d they conceal their knowledge of the fact,

to (he American People; (hey will determine the
character of the transaction." n
But I will relieve the 8ehnle. srt far a* I am
concerned, from tiie further consideration of this
.disgusting subject, To me it is indifferent which
of these amendments shall prevail., I believe that
adopted by the Senate will be most efficient, and
as a member of (he Committee of Conference, 1
have not frit authorised te yield an imj.ortai t

t leave to those who have directed this Contro
versy, the cheering reflection, that they have
trampled on the rights of Georgia, which they
wore bound,to protect; and calumniated her citi
zens, their aganls, whose honor it Was their duty
to guard—I lmt they have imputed fraud to the
old treaty, end have shrunk from tiie proof of it;
and (hot tne operation* which have eventuated in

i not the council convened by
your' order? Did you riot require tho ejipointmenj
of the Delegation, draught (heir commission, ana
direct its execution? Was it a free wijl offering of
the Creek Nation? Was it not rather the act of
these very men, who had oxoited the Creoks lo
resist the o|d treaty, and who,,by.means nf this
ally ratify it, and returned it to (lie Sen
ate. A letter was addressed to tho War Depart
ment,acquainting the'Secretary of the disposition
of. the committee, and tho course that Would be
adopted, (t was’ in this state of things that the
chief* were again assembled, and, though they
had Informed the War Department that, tinder no
circunrilHHcet wliatpver, .could they extend lhe
limits beyond what they were extended by that
treaty, ye*, after great exertion, tlicydirought out
a supplementary* treaty, wliirth we were told em
braced all the lands in Georgia. 1 statfid distinct-
Ay that, if any tyeaty was to he formed «ihort of
timt of the Indian Springs, f protested against it.
! asked that the whole matter might be submitted
to Congress, arid that they might, determine on
thfe fraud. The former treaty hud been ratified; it
became the supreme law of the land, it* adver
saries say it is founded in fraud, VVhrWi js the
evidence they, have giyeri ns of it? Theyhaye
given nope. When they foijnd it would be rejec
ted, and that necessity forced on them' to submit
to it or to produce the evidence, they got Up (bis
supplementary trepty, which flirty.,thought would
do away the oujccthms on constitutional ground*.
I w4ut further than (he Secretary , 1 knew, from
flic dfsposilirt'n of the individuals, (hat there was a
great desire to get clear of this in vestigation, and
tliey wduld go great lengths toeffect it. I stated
to him that, if the usual coarse was resorted to,
and the propel* means were adopted to conciliate
tho chiefs, an arrangement might.be made which
would be satisfactory to nil parties. He refused
to resort evpn to the distribution of the Common
presents Ho said it was bribery and corruptton;
it wa^ ba'se; lie would have nothing to do with it,
nor would he delegate the power to another
With a full knowledge of tlio most infamous frauds
ever cmririiiiirt’d hy 1 ase.t of Indian chiefs,' he.en
tered into a treaty., What was this money? it,
\vas af consideration for the land soldj'to,take from
The halion.at large—tiie People, who had a right
to the ortcupancy of the lands—the airiount that
Was equivalent to this land, and to put into the
. Iir.ii'h of the raspally chiefs, not of the Creek's on
ly, brtt of the Ch'erokees, Who came here to pre
vent, Us far as any ihisrepresentdtion could pre-
'vent, any meas,rir.;S liy which the treaty o.t the In
dian Springs should be confirmed . Wliat will he
rrtid of the Headof the Department, who spurned
bribery and corruption,'ye(, Witli a,knob ledge of
this fraud,, brings forward this trealy, ontj does
not give us this infoririationf Is there a Senator,
who, with a full knowledge rtf the fraud which has
been alfeUipled, and which'is'Tp be consummat
ed, would not prefer the treaty or the Indian
Springs, flrtt thus stained With fraud? The gentle
man from Ohio says it is impossible that, the Secre
tary of War should uridetsfand thp mrdrers given
’to'tfiese Chiefs. He had tlieir ijisfrodibfls in his
bureau; General’ Gaihes, brought them tb bijh
Tiioy were to edde ail ♦h'd-lancls to the East of tue
iChathlioouhfej and wilb, discretion to gpas much
farther as they thrtught proper,- Their pojver was
ample, and th’e Secretary knew at the time that
they possessed (hat. power;„and therefore, that
tjirtii' arirtrtibn to the conlrary was false. The
constitutional qriestion as regard? Georgia, yet
remains iri force, and though it may not seem to
apply to Alabama, I' still think our rights were
violated in aiinulling that treaty and adopting
another.' I wish I could devise any mode of get-
tirig that last treaty .back again before the Senate,
that It iriigbt be rejected, because It would defeat
a villahous fraud, it would bring about an exami
nation of tbe originaltreaty, which was gteatlv
advantageous to tiie State of Alabama. It would
not have been thus advantageous to individuals,
nor would it have been found tiuclqied >< ith fraud
