nrrdations on IT, frontier settlements, and
FINN whom annoyance in some shape or
e.hrr was dlways to be expected It they re-
,,ainrJ. At that time the territorial limits
al Georgia embraced all that iiCe region Of
ealn,rv, since erected into the rich and
aonrlshing state of Alabama. Georgia,
with the doula object of getting rid If these
soublcsome neighbors, aud Of acquiring
title TO the soil they occupied, entered INTO
n solemn compact with the United States,
IN which the u. S. undertook to eXtingaish
the Indian titles within the present limits
Of Georgia, e" as early as tie same could be
peacsabiy ojfaiaed on reasonable terms. -

The excitement on tins sahleci and tae

reader. Tne excitement, however, result

for the Improvements they must 40 Anieh.
II is also stipulated thai the Indians shall
not ~ required to n I'VE before sept, 1926.
This Treaty was sulenniy ratified b. the
p .sdrat and Senate. From that mo-
me1', the state Of Georgia claims title to
the soil, and eKpr9sses d wish to have 1t
surveyed; 81 that when the Indians shall
eremnve, ihsre will he nothing to do, hut

applied to the party who had made the
treaty, and obtained thelr consent To the
survey. Ii should be borne IN mind that
the Creek naton ia composed OF many
tribes scattered over a considerable extent

within the territorial limits OF Alabama,
who fought bravery against us IN the late WAY,
aad whose lands are not included III liz
treaty. But we believe all the lands occu-
pied by the Greeks are held in common.
At this crisis the principal difficulty
seems tn have arisen. 1t was no sooner

treaty was stirred up among the lnd@ns.-
