Col Campbell, one Of he Commissioners oil the
u 3. who is the hroller-h.-law of Gen. Clarke,
his political friend, and now reid up as Clarke
eiector IN Georgia, testified that g he had con-

= the Commissioners had returned from an un-
- successful mission 10 the Cherokces--We had
" Doth been disappointed our wishes and cal

$ poiniinent in terms OF feeling and regret We
"spoke of the prospect of negotiation with

" The agent observed in substance that he had the

" advised me 10 resign my appointment u. S.
" commissioner, intimating that the result of the
. election OF Governor had operated change in
" his feelings in that gard'--Crowell avowed
that while Iroup was Cove there should be
no cesssonof land. The evidence TO this point
Is incontrovertible. We, therefore, infer the
treaty was not entered into to favor the political
views OF Troup. 1t is stated that Crowell, who is
prohibited from trading with the indians, has esiab-

Under our last division OF this subject we pro-
posed TO examine into the conduct and motives Of
the agents employed both by Georgia and the u
States. That examination we must defer until
more Information is spread before us. The press
Is teemng with letters and publications on the sub
Ject. Maj. Andrews has come out with long
vindicaion OF himself in which he directly impeach-
es the integrity OF the Commissioners who framed
the treaty, and of the late Commissioners sent b.,
Georgia with him and Gen. Gaines into the Creek
nation. In this publication there is much ofre-cr-
minaiion and Impeachment; Of private character.
An expose has been promised by Messrs Campbell
and Merriweather, in the absence Of which, and I'M
der the peculiar circumstances of the case, we wait
tor further Developments. In the mean time, there
Is enough before the public to convince every un-
preludiced man that the officers of Georgia and of
the u States have all erred that they have forgot
ten their public characters and given way much
to their party feelings and prejudices as men. Gov

Gaines after writing with becoming temper and
moderation, seems TO be determined that Gov It.
