The same Document contains the most abundsn,
proof OF the fact, thst Crowel has uniformly op-
posed the sale of land by the Creeks, and urged
their chiefs TO give peremptory refusal to every
proposition 10 purchase, which the u. 5. should
make! Yet this SAME Mr.. Clowsll is the identical
person now elected 10 purchase the slip in contest
between the Creeks and Georgia, and upon the zeal
and fidelity OF his efforts it would seem to DEPEND
whether we are to have civil or not! Surely
the iniatuaion OF folly could be carried further
than the genius OF the administration has carried H.
In this Georgia business. An Agent has the au-
daciiy to oppose the efforts of the President to
purchase the Creek lands in Georgia, and the Pre-
sident protects him in that oppositon He has
the insoencs to make the President a party to his
qparrels, and the President submits to appear so!
Mcintosh Is murdered on a charge of bribery, and.
those who murder him go 10 Warrington and take
brides to the amount of $16O, 900 in the very pre-
sence OF the administI alton! Two Cherokee Iads
coniound the. diplomacy of the whole Cabinet in
the winter of 1926, and in the - ring of 1897, the
Creek Indians, who hate Georgis, have stirred up
the President 10 the verge of a civil war against
that S'ate!--Lgnorance of men i, The cause
OF all fhis. MIR. Adams knows books, but he
knows nothing OF men! Hence. the difference
between his ,cyitings and his acts! He writes
handsome essay, and he chooses an incompetent,
agent. All he had 10 do two years ago TO secure
tranquility with the Creeks and the Georgians,
was to have dismissed Crowell, and appointed a
faithful agent in his place. Yet Crowell is now
elected 10 purchase the lands in dispute between
the Creeks and the Georgians, and, upon the failure
OF his efforts, the President is ready TO 60 to war
and the House of Representative is ready to back
him. The Report given in about the last hour Of
the last day oil the last session, echoes the war-me.-
ell In
OF British House of Commons ever echoed a
speech from the Throne. The Senate's Report is
different. Ii advises the President to limit hms elf
Tor The present, to the arm of the judiciary, TO
which he has appealed, and declines to decide
the quesions which he has submitted to that Tri-
bunal. The Report OF the House Of Represents
uves undei takes to decide all these IN open
disregard of thai great principle of Justice, which
| requires that depending suit should not be pre-
JUDGED by extra Judicial discussions nor the weight
| oil the government thrown into the scale of one
| party 20 the prejudice of the other Had il not
been Tor their commendable in this partcu-
lar the Sena'e's Committee could have found no
diihcnity IN shelving tina, the President had mis-
taken mis- powers in supposing that he could make
war upon Georgia, under the Indian Intercourse
Law OF lSU2. That act was passed under The Adj
nhnisHauon OF Jefferson, in the very crisis of he
| io~les' ou'cty against standing army. and
tslnly was never intended TO enlarge the military
po"e's Oh 'iie fIesidsnt nor Is II capable OF such
construction. The use OF the military is limited
and guarded with excess of jealousy and ci,-
cumspection. The soldiers are only to be en-
pioyed TO " dPprehe0d" and " renore'' tres
psssers fhey are required TO perform this service
