 ed for by them, most assuredy theirs by us yet neither limb nor lneamenl discomposed, was stir red--no muscle moved--the very eye appeared as fxureand, in short, tn ey took notice of us than if we had been nothing at all Our sensations, on the whole, none of the agreeable. The ffee- dom of our chamber had been somewhat uneeremoni- ously taken, and very presence treated hongh 1t had been a non-entty. We concluded, however, that as Oceoa neither stood upon ceremony nor stuck at tr1es 1t would be best to take notice olm, and so we very quietly and cordially withdrew.
 We had not been twenty four hours at the agency before We were enabled to perceive that the Semlnoles did not relish the business that had brought them there The chieis--a, at least, of the delegation who had gone to look at the land of promises west of the Mis- sissippi, were manilestly in a dilemma. They had signed the treaty, weakly, perhaps, wichedy signed 1t, without previous consultation with their people, as had been stipulated for and the latter very naturally refus ed be thus bound by the unauthorized act of few merely of their number. The signing of the rea- ty was in truth, breach of faith towards the nation, the part of the chiefs and our Government has yet to the question: ''Were you not that the delegation had authority 10 do what they did that the Semnoles had agreed to be absolutely hound by what might be the views, will, of that dele gation that they had instructed the chiefs 10 go and look at the land, and then to lay before them count of all that they had seen that under these eff eumstances, the treaty, signed It was, something more than mockery, attempted fraud upon the Seminole nation that, being thus null aid void, wanting the high sanction of the people, with what show of justice, of fair dealing, of honor humanity did you hold up this faihess deed to that people, and because they indignantly dsayowed 1t, call to your aid the sharp but unworthy argument of the sword? For the credit of our Government, we fear that thIs ques lion is easily asked then answered.
 This, then, that pefplexed and perturbed the minds of the Seminole chiefs, assembled, perhaps for the last time, to hold talk upon the subj ec of that efirre Ac hav had cio cd it, but where the confirmation now! On the one hand, the agents of our Government pointed them to their the confronting record; and the other, the Seminole brandished his war kue as the only argument with which he prepared to approach the treaeherous parchment! and which, 1t well known would be in certain for him of the who should have the bold baseness to ratty the deed --he ratified his doom
 Oceoa, (who had been of the delegation that went Wes) saw, at once, that he had doubtful and d difficult game to play He must appear to be in favor of the treaty but not without appslng his people of the policy that governed him. He took counsel of fear that not an honorable fear. He not afraid to die but he feared death at the hands of those whom he should deceive. When in the counsel seat he would be sllent-the time for action would be the time for hm--and he saw, as with prophetic vision, the future teeming with those stern events that have since shadowed the land, with invoked upon 1t by the indignant manes of the warrior Yomassee
 For the rest, they too, like him, free choose free to tread the broad though rugged path of allegiance to their people to follow meanly in the wake of the white man, who would despse while he caressed them
