A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR.
To tie citizens Of the counties in The
Creek Nation.
The Secretary Of War, by the d.
rection Of the President Of the United
States, has instructed the Marshal Of
the Southern District Of Alabama, to
remove all white persons from the ter
ritory ceded by the Creek Indians, by
the treaty Of March. 1882, which ter
r,tory is composed Of the counties Of
Benton, Talledega, Randolph, Coosa,
Tallapoosa, Chambers, Russell, Ma
con and Barbour.
These counties have been establish
ed and organised BY the General As
sembly, in conformity with the views
and policy ofthe Federal Government,
and in pursuance Of the Constitution
Iof this State.
The order, # executed, will result
in a destruction Of property belonging
to the inhabitants Of these counties,
Ito an almost incalculable amount, and
inflict upon them other great and ir-
reparable injuries, notices. calamitous
than those which would mark the in.
vasion Of a public enemy.
BY virtue Of this treaty, the Gov
eminent Of the United States have as
sumed the right Of removing BY an
armed force, not only all persons Who
have settled upon the public lands;
but those also, who, in the opinion Of
its agents, have committed tresPasses
upon the improvements Of the Indians,
which are their private property,
Thereby undertaking, without any law
fal authority. and in violation Of our
common constitution, to regulate mat
tiers which belong exclusively to the
laws and tribunals Of this State.
The order for the removal Of the
settlers must necessarily be attended
with the expulsion Of our civil officers,
the suppression Of our courts, and in
fact, the destruction Of the State gov
|erDment throughout these counties.
The right Of jurisdiction being adj
mitted, the right to use the means that
are indispensable to its exercise at
|taehcs as a necessary consequence;
and yet a military force is displayed
upon our borders, to render impeta-
tive all the measures which have been
adopted BY the State government for
the extension and enforcement 0f its
laws.
The course which the General Gov
eminent has adopted, and j. now pur-
suing, is a palpable and indefcnsihle
invasion Of the acknowledged rights Of
the State, and in its tendency, utterly
sobversive Of our free and happy form
of government.
There are now thirty thousand Of
our people alarmed at the horrors Of
starvation on one side, and Of military
execution Oh the other. In this hour
Of their Affections, l recommend snd
exhort them to look with abiding and
undoubting confidence to the majesty
Of the law. 1t will cover them over
with a shield, impenetrab!e to the
sword and bayonet.
In order, therefore, that kthe lave
|may be faithfully executed" and BY
virtue Of the power and authority in
me vested, l hereby require all civil
officers Of the counties Aforesaid, to be
attentive to the people, upon whom
any crime may be committed, or upon
whom or whose property there may
exist well founded aPprehcnsioos, that
crimes are intended to be committed.
BY issuing all such warrants and other
process as may be necessary to bring
offenders to justice, particularly such
as are guilty Of murder, false imprison-
ment, house burning, robbery, 6rcible
entries, and all such like heinous often
