take great pleasure in communicating to the
Legislature, dispatch this morning received from
The Secretary OF War OF the United States, by
which II will be seen that the hope expressed in
the Message Of the 7,h ul;. that our differences
with the General Government approached 10 a
termination. has not been disappointed Ii now
appears 10 have been the intention of the parties 10
the instrument called the New Treaty, that Georgia
should acquire all the Creek Lands, within her lin
its, and il is the intention vs. hrh mus, control the
construction OF that instrument, i, may be expected
that Georgia will meet with no further obs acle 10
the occupation and settlement of the whole country
1.-THE Governor of Georgia has committed the m o.,
serious mistake imputed TO him in this despatch, he
would have received the Presidents rebuke with
thankulness, because no hing could be more desi-
rsbie to him than such correction of the mistake
as j, has pleased the President to make-bu the
Governor OF Georgia had committed no mistake
Ii the Government Of the United States believed
they la acquired all the lands, when in fact they
had not, the mistake was theirs, not ours We be-
lieyed that all the lands not acquired, and 30
the fact is according the admission OF the Pre-i.
dent himself. The boundary of the New Treaty
is on the face OF it described to be permanent not
| temporary boundary, and it is guaranteed as
permanent by The authority of the United States.
Taking the language OF the New Treaty for
his guide, the Governor OF Georgia cannot
, mistake that language. Ii not permitted to
that officer TO infer intentions which the language
disav owed, and of which he could know nothing
but from the language For the frs, time and in
the dispatch of the Secretary of War, the Govern
ment of the United States mas thought proper to
disclose to the Government of Georgia. those in
tentions, although 30 long ago az the lti of Feb
last, il made known 10 the President, that If
such boundary est absted by the Treaty, il
would be considered permanent, boundary, and of
"A declaration which mas since that time been re-
peated again and again, without any intima ion
from the Government OF the United States, that
such an inference an erroneous or mistaken
one, but on the contrary il has been uniformly ir-
sisted that the new Treaty was the supreme law
and would be carried strictly into effect, no anibo-
rity was recognized competent TO establish
boundary for Georgia. but that Of Georgia herself
and the Government OF Alabama, the only other
party in interest, acknowledged as such by the L.
States, was long since given TO understood that,
that boundary once established by Georgia, would
be considered good for Georgia. until better
could be sbewn. II is not necessary fnT the Presi-
dent 10 anticipate difficulties between Georgia and
Asbama-1be difficulties have not occurred, and
we trust they will not occur - In the mean time
the boundary as established by Georgia cannot be
considered by the United States any other than
the true boundary, and until Georgia and Alsba-
Snali concur IN e-tdDll$0lDg one, u
must be considered by all the parties con-
