TIE CREEK TREATY.


We publish below documents connected
with this unpleasant affair, which cannot fail to be
interesting to the people CT Georgia. The letter
Of the Creek Delegation is a fine specimen of ma
tionaiiaw, SC. Qnere.-Who at Washington City
has been 30 kind as TO put such fine things in the
nyouths OF these Savages? The letter Of the Geor-
g,a Delegation will shew the high ground taken
BY them. They anticipated fully the feelings ex-
prssed by the Legislature at its late session. Our
alsices from Milledgeville by this mornings mail,
.;uforn US that a new treaty was made at Wash
igSton the eth ul.. with the hostile Indians.
Ii IL said TO contain sixteen articles, and annuls
che old treaty, gives up the land West Of the Chat
tahoOche, and OF line 10 commence that riv-
Sr, d. miles from the BJZzard Roost and 10 strike
the Cherokee boundary 80 miles from il. The
United States are 10 pay S2I7,0 900, and perpeiu-
81 annuity of $4,000. Those Of the M'Intosh
party who go West Of the Mississippi, are to have
lands assigned them, TO receive 500, 900, have
tie expences OF the removal paid, supported and
maintained for one year, their improvements on
the eeel territory paid for, and demands for pro-
nery taken and destroyed since Tie death of MIN
Josh, satisfied.
The MIntosh party it is said have refused 10
siye their assent TO this arrangement. And tire
President may rest positively assured that Geor-
!,fa will never consent 10 it. Indeed our Delega-
ton at Washington has already info,n, the Pre-
s.dent that Georgia holds to the old ueaiy--she
claims the whole territory, and nothing but the
GcAoEs viii satisfy her, and that she iciH haze
Nyben the people consider, and this surely every
1ban who has any reflection will do, that this land
is Georgia s." was hers before tie revolution
was reiinquishei TO her at the northumberland
acknowledged to be hers in 1902 when she sold
part of il 10 the u. States--ihat some OF her best
blood lies upon that very ground, split in the year
1913 in Its defence, and by some of those very
hostile Indians who are now revelling at the Pre-
sdent's ievees, parading through the Senate cham
Der of the Union in the most costly apparel, fur
nfshed at the expenee OF the General Government;
that the United States have pledged themselves to
purchase these very lands that twenty three long
years have been suffered TO pass over this solemn
pledge; that Indian titles 10 lands, in other states
have long since been extinguished; indeed, new
states have been created upon Indian lands and
iiot an Indian remains within their limits; that
Georgia lands are reserved by the General Co
Yernment to ciyilize the Savages upon But this is
Jiot all, when they consider that after the General
Government has, from time TO time, been called
Upon and urged by every sentiment of justice and
every motive OF prudence due TO good faith, and
Demanded BY sacred engagement, 10 purchase
these lands from Georgia, after commissioners Dos
sessing tho full confidence of Georgia, men of un-
questionable integrity, have, through many diff
culhes interposed by designing great men in this
sale, and executed by the intrigue and villaiuous
CONDUCT OF the Indian Agent aud his Infamous
fools, obtained a treaty, dat even the Legisla-
fure. majority Of whom was composed Of its
very enemies, have declared to be advantageous
70 The Union, the State, and epcn the Indians
fenlsefpes, 1t should be said that this treaty is
fraudulent and in Consequence thereof is TO be
submitted to Congress, and from appearances an
fuiied, and Crowe, his secret friends and the hos
tile Indians are TO triumph over tie wounded feel
bgs Of tbe commissioners and the still more obvious
rights Of 6eorgis!
MIR. Adams wishes the treaty 10 be snnulIed
and Georgia is threatened with having her rieht
TO soil within her limits contested, and forever
sdjbdcated by the Supreme Court, between her
and the Indian tenants! This IS Mr. Adams dis
Interest edness and boasted zeal for the General
weliafe!" This his compliance with the pledged
.iiih Of the government! We rely, however, with
confidence on the justice and fnsgnanimiiy OF the
United States Senate But we will not dttain our
