no matter how procured, is one Of the
most daring efforts that ever was at

falsehood upon credulity. Now, Sir,
that you may be at once undeceived
with regard to the trick which has
been played off by somebody, l have to
assure you, that independently of the
assent three times given by Mcintosh,
under his own hand, which l have in
my possession, this same man Mar
shall has repeatedly declared to me,
that there was not dissentient voice
from the survey among the friendly
Chiefs-all the Chiefs / have seen
have uniformly declared the same; and
so they have declared to others, both in
and out of Council; and for this, you
have my word of honor, and may have
my oath. very we'll know, that from
the late events which have transpired,
under the eyes of the Commissioners
of Georgia, that the oath even Of a go
vernon Of Georgia may be permitted
to pass for nothing, and that any vaga-
bond of the Indian country may be put
in requisition to discredit him. But |
assure you, Sir, if that oath should not
weigh one feather with your govern
