FLORENCE, GA.
Friday, May 9*5, ISJSH.
\Vt* are : >-.ain compelled to change our puLli
ntioii day to suit the departure of the mails from
this -dace, which has also been altered. It is in
consequences of this alteration that our Subscri
bers North of us, failed to get the last as well as the
present number as early as usual. Hereafter our
paper will be issued on Thursday mornings. And
we sincerely hope this may be the last alteration
wc shall be compelled to make for some tune to
come.
In consequence of the late destructive fire in
Charleston, the Governor of South Carolina has
issued his proclamation, convening the Legisla
ture of that State on the 28th inst. to devise some
means for the assistance of the sufferers.
CLAIMS FOR INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
Those interested in this matter (and a great ma
ny too, have lost their all, and without remunera
tion from the Government must be ruined forev
er,) have waited with all patience to see if Con
gress wouiJ aflord them relief; but they find it
wiil not do to and pend upon the justice of that body
alone for their rights—it is rendered necessary,
in order that they receive their own, that they
send immediate representatives for the purpose of
urging their claims. A meeting of the sufferers
of Russell county, Ala. has been held, in Gerard,
resolutions passed and Delegates chosen for that
purpose. The citizens in this section, both of
this and the other side of the river, held a meeting
m this place last Tuesday, for the same purpose.
The proceedings of both meetings will be found
in our columns of today.
Col. F. G. Gibson has been chosen a Delegate
b, the meeting held here, and we feel confident a
better selection could not have been made. And
unless Congress is determined to disregard the
people’s rights and sufferings, the people in this
section may expect some aid, when they have so
able and talented a Representative from among
them*
The Van Bur on party in Georgia have labored
very hard for sometime, to identify the State
Rights party of the South with the Abolitionists,
and make the people believe that they and they
alone are opposed to those incendiaries—their
Rader a true and genuine Anti-Abolitionist, as
v.vll as all his Northern friends. Our able cotem
por.n v of tin: Southern Recorder, has completely
turned the tables in relation to this matter. The
abounding facts which he has published from
time to time puts the matter beyond a doubt, that
among th*.* leading characters of the Van Buren
pans in Congress, as well as in different parts of
t North, may he found these infuriated fanatics. 4
The I ■ : of these facts, which will be found under
tnr Political head, v.m feel very confident must si
lence the foul slanders which have emanated from
the Southern Van Burca presses in relation to
fa ir political opponents of the South.
The Abolitionists, we arc aware, are divided on
the Presidential question, and while some may be
found for Mr. Van Buren, we are free to admit,
others may be found against him. But that does
not argue that Martin Van Buren is not tainted
with th is foul doctrine, but ‘■from the present lights
before him," he knows full well it would not answer
for him to go one jot further in support of that ne
farious doctrine. But so soon as the “lights" will
warrant him to come out openly in favor of that
doctrine and continue in the ascendancy, we doubt
not he will be found in opposition to the South.
TIIE DANBURY (Conn.) TIMES AND THE
CHEROKEES.
The sympathetic and humane toolings of the
Editor of the Danbury (Conn.) Times have been
greatiy aroused because of our remarks of the
loth April, in relation to the Cherokee Indians, in
which, it will be recollected, we urged the ne
cessity of immediate and vigilant action on the
pan of those in authority in order to secure the
speedy removal of these deluded people, stating
at the same time that it was in consequence of the
tardy operations of our Government that the lives
of many of our valuable citizens have been sac
rificed, and the property of many plundered and
destroyed. In noticing the article referred to, the
rclmed Editor of the Times uses the following
language:
‘•L nless the Editor of the Mirror has formed a
very erroneous opinion of the obligations of a
prosperous and powerful govern incut towards a \
feeble neighboring nation or tribe, he is not singu
birin his belief that if those who are, and those
who have, been in “authority” in our land, had
dealt with the red people in tae way that duty en
joined, and in the way that this race had a right to
*- x P ct, we should have been spared the evils which
he enumerates.”
Now we should like to know of this very hu
mane and erudite Editor, what are the “obliga
tions of a prosperous and powerful government to
a feeble neighboring nation or tribe ?” Are they
" l that nature which require her to sit still, with
lolded aims, and see rapine, plunder, bloodshed
and murder scattered o’er the land, her citizens
‘educed to poverty and want, without either house
0r home, but stripped of their every all con
tinually exposed to the deadly aim of the savage ri
de and his merciless tomahawk and scalping knife,
and extend to them no relief—no assistance ? It
these are the “obligationsof a prosperous and vow
fTJul government to a feeble neighboring nation or
tribe," from such a government we pray “good
Lord deliver us.”
The Northern people, living as they do, remote
from the scenes of distress and devastation, can
think of this matter with but little regard for the
sufferings of those they should look upon and hail
as brethren. For us however, they have no sym
pathy. The infant babe may be snatched from its
mother’s arms and pot to death in the most cruel
and heart-rending manner by the merciless savage,
before the mother’s eyes, in contempt of her erics
and entreaties, and the people of the North can
read with cold indifference this tale of horror and
wo, and consider that the “obligations of a prosper
ous and powerful goverrun nt to a feeble neigh
boring nation or tribe” require that these things
should be committed with impunity. If this be
the case, it were much better for the people that
the government should always remain “feeble” and
helpless, when its obligations lead to such disas
trous results.
We have, however form * 1 no “erroneous opin
ion” in relation to this matter. The obligations
of a government are first due to her own citizens,
and it is her bounden duty to see that their lives,
liberty aud property are protected from every
danger, and every enemy, no matter how “feeble.”
And should it require millions upon top of mil
lions—yes, should the Treasury of this “prosper
ous and powerful government” be drained of its
last cent, it would still be the duty of the govern
ment to provide some means to protect her citi
zens. But it was through the belief of our rulers
founded upon such premises as that of the very
humane Editor of the Times, that the enemy with
which we have to contend was “f ebte" and help
less, that our citizens have been murdered, our
National honor tarnished, our Treasury drained,
and a portion of our once happy country almost
ruined.
The Times further remarks :
“We fear, however, that strict justice to his In
dian neighbors has no itilluence over his “belief:”
and like many others who settle it in their minds
that these “savages!” who stand in their way to
the obtainment of tempting possessions, shall be
removed peaceably or forcibly, beyond the pate ot
civilization, he tails to attribute tlm bloodshed,
disgrace and pecuniary loss which our country
lias suffered—aye, jn ,tly suffered —in that quarter,
to the proper cause— its all grasping and unhal
lowed avarice, and its disregard oj solemn treaties."
We are somewhat at a loss to know what he ol
the Times would consider “strict justice" to our
Indian neighbors. It cannot be that after our
Government has once purchased tint country
fairly an 1 honorably, tile Indians should stiil pos
sess it, and that too, after they have iiiitiifu.lv and
solemnly promised to remove and give possession
at a specified time, and keep our c tizgns exposed
to their continued depredations, and be suffered
to go on undisturbed an 1 unmolested ! The Ed
itor of the Times has certainly more cense, more
discretion, than to consider such a course towards
the Indians as meteing ouPto them “strict justice."
’From his remarks one would suppose he knew no
thing of the Indians or their character, but rather
that lie conceives them a mild inoffensive race cl
beings whom the whites consider in their way
and therefore commence the work of death with
them, Buch is not the case. Invariably have
the Indians barbarously commenced scatter
ing fur and wide the arrows of deatn and destruc
tion, but so long as they were dispose 1 to act cor
rectly and live peaceably they have always met
with a cordial and friendly treatment Irom the
white man’s hands. Their conduct, however, has
proven, beyond doubt, that a civilized ana savage
people cannot travel the same road together and
be happy—and fully demonstrates that where ci
vilization makes its appearance savage barbarity
and inhumanity must give back.
But the Indians “stand in our way to the ob
tainmeat of tempting possessions!” Admit they
do—so much stronger the necessity that they he
removed, because the country they inhabit is ours
—bought with our money, at a fair, honorable and
equivalent price. It is therefore our right, our
property, and we are compelled Irom every prin
ciple of duty to ourselves, our family and our
country, to claim it as our own and m doing so we
do not show “an all grasping an unhallowed ava
rice,"
We are also told that we have manifested a “dis
regard to solemn treaties," Not so. The accu
sation isas utruc as it is unju. t and infamous. —
With the Indian tribes the people of the .South
ern States have always been disposed to act tip,
(so far as they were concerned) to the letter and
spirit of all treaties entered into between the Gov
ernment and the Indians, and when the Indians
have deviated from the path, tho people, as well as
the Government, have been disposed to treat them
! with lenity and forbearance —hence the distress
and sufferings of our country.
But this tcndei hearted and humane Editor says
the people of the South “have suffered — ape just
ly suffered !/” We cannot find language suffi
cient to express our feelings towards a man with a
soul so devoid of all sympathy, all feeling tor his
fellow man. Yes, it is right with the heartless
Editor of the Times, that Death should be sent
abroad in our land by the savage, to widow wives
and orphanize children! Yes, in the view ol this
depraved Editor, poverty should spread over this
once happy and prosperous land, because the peo
ple were disposed to claim and defend th* ir right.,
their possessions. Could this worthy Editor hut
experience some of the sufferings about which h* 1
so unfeelingly speaks, from those for whom he
feels so much interest and compassion, we doubt
not his tone would very soon be changed, and the
other side of the picture be readily presented. —
THE GEORGIA MIRROR.
Then would he be convinced of the injustice with
which this couutry and people have been treated ;
and where now his feelings are aroused for the
jioor Indian, indignation and hatred would take
place, and he could sec them all treated in the
manner their crimes demanded anu consider they
iiad received nothing more than “strict justice." —
Nothing else but an experience of this kind would
ever ali'ect the depraved sensibilities of suclr a
man.
This worthy Editor continues:
- “It were to be hoped, indeed, “that our rulers
have learnt a lesson from the past”—that after
squandering millions of money on an unrighteous
undertaking, after drenching the soil of Florida
with the blood of American citizens, the ridicu
lously humiliating confession of the conquering
hero, whose principal achievement was a base act
of treachery, that possession of the
country would not he worth the medicines that
would be expended in driving the Indians
from it,”«-/3) might at least prove the “begining
of wisdom.” But it seems not—another victim
is preparing for ihe shambles to glut the oppres
sor’s rapacity. The Cherokee, whose mud has
been expanded by the sum of knowledge, and
whose heart has been softened and renewed by
t lie gentle and forgiving sprit of True religion—he,
too, must yield up his long-inherited possessions
to his Vandal neighbors. Wlicn this event shall
have been accomplished—and we see nothing to
hinder it, there may be a bloody struggle, but the
‘end is the same’ to the Indian—well may one of her
aged chiefs, lingering behind hi; diminished and
broken-hearted tribe, and pointing to their, deso
late homes, utter the Gipsy's warning—“ This day
have ye quenched our smoking hearths—see it
the tire in your aiu parlors burn the blither for
that.”
We are glad to perceive “that our Rulers have
learn.* a lesson from the past,” and instead of Wait
ing to see if the Cherokees would peaceably fulfil
the treaty on their part, (as they have heretofore
done with the Creeks and Seminoles,) they have
taken proper and necessary steps to secure the re
moval of the Cherokees with but little trouble,
which clearly, proves that past actions have been
with them the “beginning of wisdom.”
But the Editor of the Times was in hopes that
after “squandering millions” of the people's mo
ney in what he would deem an “ unrighteous un
der' iking," we woulfl be left exposed by the Gov
ernment to all the horror.; of another savage war.
What an exalted opinion this Editor must have of
a Nations honor! Because Florida has suffered,
and barbarously suffered beyond description, all
in consequence of the bad management of those
whose duty it was to afford her protection, and
through the same kind of management ;ha still
suffers, and the character of the country almost
ruined, because her armies have not been able to I
conquer v. hat the Editor would term “ft feeble na
tion or t rib* f therefore OU? Rulers should sink the
honor of our country still deeper into degradation
and disgrace, by desisting from enforcing the trea
ties hitherto entered into between them and the In
dian;—acknowledge the Government conquered,
and lay every thing open for them to satisiy their
savage and blood thirsty dispositions !!
But the Cherokees area civilied nation, “whose
mind has been expanded by the sun of knowledge,
and whose heart has been softened and renewed
by the forgiving spirit of true religion !” The
Cherokees a civilized tribe! They arc just as far
from it as light is from and arkness, or truth from
falsehood. Take them as a nation and they know
as little about the infinsheer of civilization or re
ligion, as (lie beasts whh ’rtoam the forest wild.
The language used by the Editor of the Dan
bury Times is unworthy an American and friend
of his country, and we tire convinced tint no nr:*,
living, who has the hoimf and character of his
country at heart, would bo guilty of such a v. ». -
ton disregard of truth anil justice towards a por
tion of her citizens. But tin* truth is a large num
ber of the Northern people have no interest or
feeling in common with us. They could see the
blood of innocence and helplessness run though
our streets in streams, and rejoice w r ith savage in
humanity over, the scene. Upon every question of
vital imp . tanceto us they, stand in direct opposi
tion, and unless we see well to otir rights and lib
erties, ere we are aware of it, they will be snatched
from us by those tu whom we should look for aid
and protection.
We beg pardon of our readers for the unusual
length of this article—our only apology is, the
gross injustice done the South by this Northern
Editor and many of hiscotenipoiaries, has led us
on step by step beyond our usual bounds; but
we will draw to a conclusion by again warning the
South to look well to her reserved rights, for a dis
position is prevailing through all parts of the North
to tear our dearest privileges, interests and liber
ties from us, and unless we are prepared when the
attempt shall be made, the consequences maybe
disastrous in the extreme. Be vk alw vvs rea

Fi,or.F.ncm, May 22, 1838.
At a meeting of a large nmiiborof the citizens
of Stewart county, Ga. and Barbour county, Ala.
tbr the purpose of taking into consideration the
immediate and urgent necessity of sending for
ward a delegate to Washington city, representing
the claims of our suffering citizens in tho late
Crock Indian difficulties, to the Congress of th**
United States, in accordance with the views and
resolutions passed in February last!
On motion of Col. 11. W. Jernigam < 01. kSach.
Williams was called to the chair, and Henry \\ .
Woodward appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been explain
ed by tho chairman, the following preamble and
resolutions were offered by Col. F. G. Gibson, and
unanimously adopted :
As sufferers by the late Creek Indian War hi
183 G, our citizens had a meeting in February last,
and made some arrangements to have our interests
1 represented in Congress by a delegation selected
! for that object, and invited our fellow sufferers in
Alabama to unite with us. We were at that time
not met as was desired and expected. \\ * are
now gratified to perceive that a highly respectable
meeting of the citizens of Russell county, Ala.
has been hel 1 who are taking steps that we hope
will produce a good effect in an early atljustiueut
of our claims.
We too, as sufferers, some having lost their all,
many, very many, left in such an embarrassed con
dition, that without the prompt, aid of the Gov
ernment, may never recover Irom its effects, and
the representatives ot the people should bear in
mind that our citizens, w ho have been ruined, con
tinued to defend tho country until their all was
gone. Nor did they then abaudou it—they still
fought, bled, and at last conquered The necessi
ties of our suffering coHimuuity call loudly fora
just remuneration, which should nut be indefinite
ly postponed.
We did believe, and still hope, that the pledge
held forth bv a resolution of Congress, w as not in
moeketyof our sufferings and losses—and when
the assesinent was made the faith of the Govern
ment stood pledged. We (ear that time may have
effaced from the memories of our rulers the wide
spread waste, the general destruction of our once
beautiful,country—the ruins yet remaining. r i he
graves of our slaughtered citizens will, to passing
travellers, display", in bold relief, somef portion of
the loss *s and The devotion of the citizens to our
beloved onutrv, which lias made many widows
and orphans, r.ow* dependent on the charity of a
generous community.
Ist. Resolved, That a Delegate bn appoint
ed for the object as’stnted above, who with the Sec
tary, shall correspond w ith the Russell county de
legation on the subject, that an united action may
be had.
2d. Resolved, That our delegate shall have full
power to represent our claims as he may deem
most ad*, isable.
On motion.of Col. IT. W. Jernignn,
Resolved, That Col. F. G. Gibson be ap
pointed a delount * on behalf of the sufferers, to
proceed to Washington City for the purpose of
uniting li s exertions and influence with the Del
egation from Unssel county, Ala. in urging upon
Congvcs some immediate action that will afford
relief without delay.
Resolnd, That in the event of Col. F. G. Gib
son’s inabilit: »• ••roooed to attend to the duties as
s i 'iicj him. Dr. 11. \\ . Williams be appointed to
till the ViK-aiwy.
On motion of \. DeLaunny, Esq.
Resolved, That the Georgia Mirror publish,
with a request to the Editors oftlie States of Geor
gia and Alabama, .sympathizing w ith us, to copy
the proceedings of this meeting.

From the Columbus Enquirer
Gnu \nn, Ala. May 12th,1838.
At a meeting of a portion oftlie citizens of
Russell county, for file purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of sending delegates
to represent the claims of those who have been
sufferers in the late Creek Indian difficulties in
Alabama, before the Congressof the United States.
On motion of Major John G. Worsham Col.
Ilcnry Crowell was called to the chair, and Win.
15. Harris appointed Secretary. The object of
the meeting having been explained by the Chair
man, the following preamble and resolutions were
ottered by J. S. Calhoun and unanimously adop
ted, viz:
We the Claimants against the IT. S. for dep
redations committed by the Creek Indians in
183d. view w i.li pain and almost despair, indica
tions from Congress of a disposition to adjourn
without considering the report made by the Com
missioners appointed under an act of Congress of
March 3*l, 1838. Such a course, we feel, would
be* a cruel net of injustice. Many of us have lost
our all, and some have hist two entire crops. Our
consequential damages art* immense and call loud
ly for the favorable consideration of Congress;
and wc cannot perceive the distinction made be
tween the actual and consequential losses. Even
should Congress adopt the report made by the
Commissioners Nov. 28th, 1837, it will fall infin
itely short of our actual losses. Our necessities
force us to appeal to the justice of Congress, and
respectfully ask that body to consider an*! deter
mine this matter; and whatever justice may order
v.*e prov may be forthwith granted. For the pur
pose therefore of presenting this subject to the
carlv and prompt consideration of Congress,
R* solved. That a committee of four persons be
unpointed hy this meeting to proceed forthwith to
tue City of Washington, for the purpose of ur
ging u;>on Congress the absolute necessity of ma
king the necessary appropriations, previous to its
adjournment", for the payment of alijust claims a
gaiusf ihc U. S. resulting from the Creek Indian
riifficufiieo of 183!) and 1637, whereupon Alcssi u
John Crowell, .Tames Abercrombie, James 8.
Calhoun aud John Canty were appointed that
Committee.
R "solved. That said Committee be requested
to ask a:i interview with the President oftlie Ik
S. for the purpose of making a plain statement
of the distressing inconveniencies to which we are
subjected in consequence of the postponement of
action in reference to these claims, and that
they be respectfully requested to invite tho earnest
attention of Congress to this subject forthwith.
Resolved, That the Committee appointed under
the first resolution, h ive ful! power to represent
our interest as they may deem most advisable.
On motion of Major John G. Worsham,
Resolved, That said Committee fill all vacan
cies that may occur in their body.
On motion of Maj. Jamos S. Calhoun, Resolv
ed, That the Chairman of said Committee be
furnished with a copy of the proceedings of this
meeting.
On motion of Col. Blake, Resolved, That the
proceedings of this meeting be published in the
different newspapers in the City of Columbus and
that the edltorrs in Irwiutou and Florence bo re
quested to publish thorn,
<in motion of Col. Murray the meeting then
adjourned.
IIE NBA" CROWELL, Chairman.
Walton B. Hauris, Sec’ry.
We regret to learn that violence has been al
ready committed by the Cherokees, within our
limits. Dr. John Brustcr, late surveyor Gen
eral oftlie .State, has fallen a victim to (heir hos
tility. His Ferryman was killed, it is stated a
few hours previous, at the Ferry, from whence
they proceeded to his house. Ilis body was pierced
by four balls.
We take the occasion to urge upon the authori
ties of the country, the absolute necessity of in
flicting some punishment for tlieir sanguinary
murders. The Creeks after they had gorged
rh**ir thurst for blood were permitted quietly to
emigrate to their new homes: and we suppose a
similar fate is in store for the Cherokees. 1*
should be demanded by Georgia, that the Chiefs,
and leaders, of their People, should be held
responsible for the outrages of their people.—
Require them to deliver up the offenders to our
laws, or in default, to suffer in tlieir stead. Seventy,
stern inflexible severity, is the only safe aud mere
course io this matter. The Indians must be
taught, that they shall not murder with impunity,
that the arm of the white man’s law can reach
him in the bosom of his own tribe and avenge the
violation of its decrees.— Georg ia Journal.
