Southrons in Congress cling together to man,
there are almost always treacherous members
enough from the North, to give the actual MINORS
ty the ascendency. And when speaking upon this
subject, we have more than once had occasion to
| lament that Mr.. Van Buren, should so frequently
sacrifice the great interests Of the north to his
southern predictions Such, however, is tile
fact, and we have now before another instance,
of more formidable character than transpires
every day. A member of Congress has Just put
into our hands a volume of documents, BY which
it appears that in the Georgia controversy, when
in the Senate in secret session last year, Mr.. Van
Buren, was the active partisan of Gov Troup, in
his cruel oppression Of the Creek Indians. We
are aware that few will believe such thing pos
sible, and we should have doubted it ourselves upon
any testimony short Of official. Fortunately we
have that testimony, and we are informed that its
publication has given no little uneasiness to Mr..
Van Buren, On the Goth page Of the volume Of
documents before US, (entitled the Report and Re-
solutions OF the Legislature Of Georgia, with &C
companying documents,) at the close Of long
letter from Mr.. Berrien, one Of the Georgia Sena-
tors to Gov. Iroup giving an account of his labors
in the Senate to defeat the new treaty, we find the
following paragraph: -
g cannot conclude this letter, without stating
to you, that we have, in all this affair, received
frank and cordial support from Gen. HARRISON nf
Ohio from Col. fiayne, Of South Carolina, FROM
Mr.. VAN BUREN,, OF NEW YORK, and
though last, not least, from Judge White, Of len
nessee.o
The next document in the book is Gov. Troupss
answer to the foregoing, which concludes as fol
lows -
"Do me the favor TO present my BEST THANKS
to Gen. Harrison, Col. Hayne, AND MR.. VAN
buren,, and Judge White, FOR THEIR ABLE
AND LIBERAL COOPERATION WITH YOU, in
the cause of the weak against the strong; and.
as trust, of the just against the unjust"
Here, then, is Mr.. Van Buren,, Senator from
New York, and the only northern Senator who
dared hazard the experiment, if they had dispo,
sition to do it, when in secret session, and, he
fondly supposed, secure from the eye of his con-
stituents, leaguing himself with Gov. Troup in his
atrocious designs upon the poor Creek Indians
and his daring opposition to the supreme laws Of
the land Not only this, but he receives the
thanks for his services from this Gov. Troup.
The manner in which this precious secret was dis
closed was this; During the session of Congress
which has just closed, the Georgia delegation

without careful examination, moved to have print.

in the mean time, knowing that it ,Uas only in Sc
