however, to be expected, that in grave and monlen-

for protection; tie advocates of Georgia Tor rather of
the Troup party would have sought refuge from the
weight OF iact and the force of argument in petty onib

our surprise, after weeks DELAY lin which orr

circulation due rather 10 the Importance of The oues

Again. he it TO be false iThat tie authorities
oil Georgia contend that the fee Simple of the Indian
land was vested in the state By the execution of the
agreement OF 1902" And yet Governor Troup in All
Official letter TO the Secretary of War; of the date of
FEBRUARY cath 1894" says that 'from the day of the
signature OF the articles of agreement and cession This
word VIZ the power OF reusal ceased 10 be available

He moreover nsnuaes that the assertion sstbot tIe

9th article of that treaty. declares. sthat permanent
peace shall ensue from this date between the Creek
nation and the United Statesn If this treaty had bcen

AS Httie fairness is discovered asserting that the
e OF Georgia TO the Mississippi territory has recev-
cd tue sanction of the supreme court of the United
States In the of Fletcher VS. Peck which is re-
lied upon to prove that assertion, the title of Georgia
came before the court upon partial statement of facts
and as is generally suspected upon fcjgned issue and
The court merely decided that 'on int sDeca! rertr
the lands appeared to lie within the state OF George NJ
II all the facts connected with that title bad been insert
ed IN the verdict it IS not TO be doubted that different
opinion would have been expressed by tie court.
We have not room in the present number TO enume-
rate the facts Which were omitted in that verdict nor TO
examine into the title Of Georgia to that TERRITORY to the
assertion OF which the greater part of the essay of fiad
IS devoted That task must be reserved for some future
! opportunity Neither have we room nor inclination 10
follow our commentator thrn1gh the different nazes in
which ne is wandering, 70 avoid plain conclusion.
Enough has been shown to prove the carelcness with
which he makes his assertions, purPorGg to be in
feCoh Oh orr own, and tue DOidDSSs WITH which ne
iers to authorities, that do not support him.
Errors like these though excusable in none arc en-
trey inadmssibe in writer whose powers are devoted
to prove that his antagonist does not know Cherokee
from Creek and that he has abused bis mother tongue
in accusing Gov TrCup Of using trash and Itniusfabe
measures" when the Governor has in reality been oDy
talking and writing, and also in calling place within
days journey of the capital Of the state 'he western
wilderness Of Georgia" person who rests the defence
Of his upon such captions exceptions and extreme
accuracy Of DETAIL should eynca his regard for his eo

Der, that although some latitude may be allowed TO tn
