It appears, by the following letter to the
Editor of the Georgia Patriot, that General
GAINES has come to the determination of sus
pending the publication of his exposition of
the late transactions in the Creek nation, un-
t.i after the election in Georgia:
The editor Of the Patriot is respect
fully requested to suspend for the pre-
sent the publication OF my letter Of the
9th inst. promised in mine of the goth
August 10 his EXcellency Gov. Troup.

or making any effort to know, 10 what

belonged to different parties. had no

his inquiry, respecting the 'emigrating
party l have never deemed it proper
10 insult a citizen of any state or any
party in consequence of his being civil
to me. have never, to my knowledge,
endeavored TO influence the vote or the
political opinion of any man in the
State of Georgia, in regard to the en-
suing election. And although l am
not aware that my letter of the 9th will
produce this effect, as it tends to
expose the improper conduct of some
men of both parties, who have advocat-
ed violation of the 9th article of
the Treaty, yet, as l have been charg-
ed however falsely, with an attempt
to NEEDLE with the political affairs
Of the State, with view to the ensu-
ing election, have determined to sus-
pend the publication of my promised
exposition until after the election. Re-
specially,
