THE CREEK TREATY.

The new Treaty of cession and purchase.
made in this city with the deputies Of the Creek
nation Of Indians, in January last, and submit
ted to the Senate by the President on the 3ist
of that month, was ratified and confirmed by the
Senate on Friday last together with the supple
mental article subsequently agreed on, by which
it is understood, the wishes OF the State oil
Georgia have been so fully met, as to induce
the hope that all dissatisfaction felt in that
State, at the ahrasatio"- of The former treaty,
will be dissipa,ed We have reason 10 believe
that the efforts of the Executive, and especially
of that officer Of it, (the Secretary of WarO to
whose province the management of the affair
particularly belonged, were never directed with
more zeal and assidulty to any object, than to
the satisfactory ad lustment OF the embarrass-
ing difficulties which grew out of the former
treaty These efforts produced the Treaty OF
January, by which about nine tenths OF the
territory in question, was obtained for Georgia.
To the further concession obtained by the sup
elemental article, the friends Of peace and har-
mony-the country at large-are indebted, is
said, to the exertiohs and influence over the In

SERIOUS REFLECTIONS.

"Whence come wars and fighting amongst
you?" Who does not know the answer to
this question: Why then will Christians
advocate, justify, and encourage practices
whose very origin is crime?
The most ardent friend to universal peace
is well aware how deeply the love of war
and its imposing splendor is fixed in the
heart of man. 1t is dangerous, say some, to
unnerve the arm of war. Injuries must be
relressed, oppressors must be crushed. 9th
ers plead, that peace enervates the mind,
paralyses all those energies of the soul
which lead to high and glorious enterprize,
and sink the hero to the common level OF
mankind. But il comes not within the scope
of few brief remarks, either to notice, or
to refute that every day augments, and the
many sophistres which are poured forth,
even from the well-informed, relative to war
and peace. But we may stop to observe,
that the mind of real Christian can never
be eueryated while there is duty to per-
form; that the energies of the soul can never
be paralysed while the eye can behold this
grand Creation, the cloud topt hill, the stu
pendous cataract, the boundlcss ocean, the
vast cope of heaven; it can never be para
USED while il has capacity to feel the moral
sublimity, presented by every mind con-
scious of the immensity ofits powers.
Let man divest himself of the prejudices
of education, let him view his Grecian and
