Dy dark nuendohc accused him of having BETRAYED
The interest of the West; and after Mr. Adors
h"d oeen feyIIed in all the Clay papers. The peo-
pie could not help thinking and saying, unless tbev
were deprived OF both understanding and speecb
that Mr.. Clay's conduct in forming co6L;fjon
with Mr. Adams, and making him President. after
all these things against the wishes OF The republican
Party, the almost unanimous instructions OF the
Legislature OF Kentucky and the well kno n SEMI.

,candalously Inconsistent. That Mr.. CLAW sbo,ld
nave done this, under these circumstances. is in
uesu astonishing. But, having done 50, that he
should look out for himself in The " partition of
'he empire by the American deumvirare, and
secure his reward IN the second best Office in the

From Georgia, we learn that the Governor had
called together the Surveyors, appointed under m
act founded on Inc old Creek Treaty, with view
as supposed, to commencing the survey of the
lands included within that Treaty. We observe.
further, that spirit of excitement RACES among the
good People of Georgia, as represented in the
newspapers at least, which it is impossible a, this
distance to comprehend, much less to sympathze
with.
We received yesterday a letter from friend in
Georgia, who appears to view the subject dis
pass'onately, and, for all know to the contrary
correctly We hope his anticipaiions will be re-
allied, stated below:
PUTNAM COUNTY. Geo Sd august. 1926
" In passing, permit me to remark that the Go
vernon OF Georgia, believe, will not attempt the
survey OF the territory beyond the Chatahoocbie
before the meeting ,ofthe Legislature in November
by whose instructions he will be governed. AS
the territory this side of the Chalahoochie is Sc
cured by both treaties and as it is the practice of
the General Government to survey territory ac-
quired from The Indians before they leave it. the
hope is indulged that the Governor NAV. witbout
opposition, survey that portion of the territory
about the acquisition Of which there is now no dis
Pu'e' Nat. Int.
