ties in georgia have been, no doubt, much hso.
than mine, which have indeed been very limied.
but have more generally heard from men beu.,
informed, that the relative strength Of parties us
somew hat different from the Generals estimate -
il: he seems 10 have adopted the same rule Of .nu
meralion, under the same optical deusion as i
measuring the strength Of the Indian parties, ami !.
have arrived at the very gratifying conclusion ,hs,
the numercsl strength was in the proportion of
fifty to one undoubtedly very incorrec, coner
sion.
This officer took umbrage at my rc1ues, to maj,
init the Commissioners on the part OF the State i,
act in friendly concert with him, in making his n,
yesgations for the discovery of truth: why he dd
SO, cannot conjecture: This however, was passed
BY without notice, was his subsequent refusal to ad
nit the IN to participation OF the Councsn mat,,.
involving interests Of Georgia. His indscre,ion i
declaring before the Council at Broken Arrow ,ho
/ If the congregated world were to contradict N.
Chief. Yoholo, he would not believe il, has been a,
ready noticed in the letter which last had the hon.
or TO address to you. II is upon the AUTHORITY n
this Chief, of Hambly. represented to be one Of h
most Infamous of men, and OF the Agent of Indian
Affairs, that you have come to the conclusion 10 r.,
turn the Treaty to Congress for revision, it hayin,
been procured by intrigue sDd tYeachery
Gen Gaines is reported to me TO have said in III,
presence Of one of the Commissioners on the par
of the State, that il twenty three states Out Of he
twenty four we're 10 pronounce the Agent guilty, he
would not believe them.
4 Gen. Gaines has been guilty Of the childish ndi,
crelion OF threatening TO cut off the heads or earso
citizens oil Georgia who happened to offend him, a,
if you had given him his sword for this special SER
vice. But, indeed Sir, il is high time to dismiss
the subject OF this officer.
! In maintaining CORES spondence with the Govern
ment OF the U. States, have not permilled any
false considerations OF dignity, or any false estimates
of forms ard ceremonies which usually govern d.
plomac intercourse between states to inlepose the
least diflicuy-so far from it, have cheeiiuly de-
scended TO the level Of every thing which pleased
you to employ at any time as your Representative
or organ, from the clerks OF your Bureaus, up 10
your Major General by Brevet, and have acted and
treated with them as equals
In the department oil some Of these, | have ey.
perienced arrogance. self suffciency naughty and
contemptuous carriage, and most insulting inter
ference with our local politics. and these character
istcs not exhibited TO bu. all the constituted
authorities Of The State. Now Sir, suffer me in
conclusion, to ask if these things have been done in
virtue OF your instructions express or implied, 0r
by authority of any warrant from you whatsoever
and if not so done, whether you will sanction and
adopt them as your own, and thus hold yourself
responsible to the Government of Georgia:
Be persuaded Sir, that whenever hereafter you
shall think proper. (not deceivlng yourself or vs.
to send gentlemen to represent you before this Co
vernment, OF the character given TO those by the
letter Of the Secretary OF War OF the 18th May,
they will be received, and respected as Offices Of
the General Government would be by the most
friendly States of the Union.
With Grea, consideration,

The PRESIDENT of the United States.
