WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 10. The Message Of the
President, respecting the concerns of Georgia and
the Creek Indians, was yesterday taken up, and
the merits of the matter Incidentally touched upon

far could be inferred frem The expression of
opinion, an universal sentiment seems TO exist in
favor OF buying out from the Indians the remnant
of their title to land in Georgia, not covered by
the Treaty of 1926.
This subject occupied the House TO SO late an
hour in the dsJ, that the Oder Of the Day, an the
engrossed bill for Increasing the duty on imported
Wool and WooIlens, was not reached before The
hour Of adjournment (past o'cloc.). The SEES
