made in The nation. has hut 20.
The treaty OF 1925, or OF the Indian Springs, has
81 signatures to the principal articles, and 10 ,he
additional article. OF these So, six signed ether
to the treaty of 1878 or 1921. TO the treaty OF
1921 there but four OF the names that are signed
to that OF ISIS.
Another mark of fraud in this transaction, IL dis-

Chief, published in the Southern Intellisencer oil

letter: If you feel disposed TO sell your lands,
will make the Commissioners give you the Chieis)

accurate person, the Reviewer is peculiarly unior-
tuna,e in his references to evidence. The Southern
In;ellisencer of the 4th of June 1925, contains no
letter from MIntosh to any Greek Chief, principal,
or Subordinate. That paper contains letter re-

The Indians who made the Treaty, at whosein-
