‘OIZOROL4 AND THE CRERIS.
[From the Georgia Journal.]

Io consequence of the publication of the certificate or
Joseph Marshall, appended to the letter of General Gaines,
it becomes neceessry to re-publish so much of the corm-
spontlence between Governor Troup and General M'lntosh,
as relates to the assent of the Indians to the survey of the
territory ceded. The people will then have the evidence
on both sides of this point before them.

GOVERNOR TROOP TO ono/nat. serwrosm.
Executive Department, Milledgeville, 20th March, 1028.
Deer oeneyal,—You will have seen, by my proclamation of the
2lst inst. that I have resolved, in fulfilment of the stipulations a
the treaty, to maintain inviolate all your right remind by it, to
that you suffer no detriment or loss by the trespasses or intrueiote
of the whites, as long as you contildie to occupy the country.
It is important that the territory acquired by the late mutt'
should be ormsnized as speedily as possible, consistently with the
provisions of that instrument ; and not doubting that your assent
will be given to the survey of it before your removal, I bug
despatched a messenger to you, that your resolution may be eoto.
munleated to me without delay. It is not presumed that the least
inconvenience can result to you from this measure. Besides my
own determination to cause the rights of the Indians to be ta:
speeted in their persons and property at all times, there will bag
future and ample security and protection in the selection of the
officers who shall be charged with the duty of running the line.,
who shall be responsible, not only that nn depredations are cop..
mitted by themselves, I ut that none shall be committed by omen,
, without their giving prompt notice to the lawful authorities, ea
that the offenders may be btoaght to justice.
You will understand that there is no intention on my part to
hurry your departure; the period of this will he left to your emu
sidetations of interest and convenience under the treaty ; but es
the survey is a work of time, this time can be saved to 1191, BO that
haying completed it, nothing will remain but to occupy and settle
the country after you shall have left it. I wish you, by all means,
to give me your final answer by this express, that I may knew
whit measures it will become my du'y to adopt. Your friend,
Win. M`lntosh, I:reek Nation. G. Tuoce.

about the rurning and survey of the country as mentioned in my
letter by es er
You will have seen by my proclamation, that I have determined

I can help it; it is intended to guard them against those people
whim they will themselves consider as trespassers and intruders,
and rot to prevent white people from going into the nation with
honest intentions to make purchase of stock or property of art'
kind which you can lawfully dispose of—all such persons will be
suffered to pass sold repass without molestation. %We will endea.
your, too, to appoint good and honest men for our surveyors. so
that they will do no harm themselves, and suffer none to be dune to
the Indians.

GENERAL IVINTOSII TO GOVERNOR TROCP.
Extract, dat 3d Lock- Chau•Talo-Fae, or
Acre Town, April 12, 11126.
I have been. however, at tome loss in making up my mind, and
must confess to you the embarrassment I have laboured under.
Ever since the President of the United States has had Agents rest-
ding amongst us, we have universally considered it our duty to con-
sult him on all important matters that relate to the general sown-
ment, or the government of any particular state, considering him
the legal and proper organ through whom all official correspondence
should pass, in relation to our interests appertaining to the treaties
made with our nation and the United States.
Some differences existing between the present Agent of the
Creek Nation and myself, and not having any confidence in his
advice, I have determined to act according to the dictates of my
best judgment, which results in the determination to agree to the
request of your Excellency in giving my consent, and in behalf of
the nation who signed the treaty, their consent, that the land lately
ceded to the United States, at the Indivn Springs, may be run 01l
and surveyed whenever you may or the General Government think
proper to do so.
If the General Government of the United States have no objec-
tion, and the Agent of the Creek Nation, with the party he in-
fluences, does not make arty objection or opposition to running and
surveying the land, myself and the Chiefs and Indians who were in
favour of the late treaty, do not object—We give our consent.
