Ike white settersin the territory lately coded by YOU
at the public mail of the u Suites has been destroyed
aud the passengers in the stages ked-and that many
citizens have been murdered and their property plumber
ed-that others have been driven from their possessions
and that general alarm has been created Under these
considerations have thought it proper to address you
particularly, to the consequences that will follow such
| conduct to those that are guilty.
Four years ago, the whole Creek tribe was incorpnat-
ed in the State Of Alabama. Your people were decar
ed subject TO laws usages and customs, contra

und assemblies prohibited and you required

your people became people, and IN becoming bound
by the laws Of the white san, you became bound TO
defend those laws when they were broken.
The laws do not permit any part OF the people to light
against another part When part makes against
the rest the law rro-ides that for doing this they shall
suffer DEATH They not treated fair and open enc
miles, but traitors To be hung whenever they shall be
caugh, and found gsilty. When you became subject TO
the laws of this State you became bound like the rest
You not permitted TO curry against US.

You must then stand firmly on he side OF our laws,
and make the line broad between you and the hostile
PARTY You must them your enemies, and feel
aewerds them, as if they had taken up for your
destruction. There must be connection; no in
tercourse with them. If you found with in
your hands and they pst employed against the

You cannot be permitted 10 appear under any circum
slances, with arms except for the purpose Of joining the
white nun against the hostile party Ii becomes you
then TO be prudent; to preserve the utmost quiet to
obey strictly the commands that will be sent to your
Chefs from the Executive of this State and his officers
and when you called upon 30 render aid, 10 do
|, promptly and with alacrity.
The suspicious of the white settlers every where
aroused and it is only by evincng the utmost caution
and prudence, that the innocent will not suffer with the
guilty therefore warmly urge upon you, the necrssi.

ed any suspicious eoodnct-o con~ey TO the forces of
the white men, OF TO your friendly Chiefs, information
of any movement on the part Of the Indians calculated
to preserve The utmost quiet and good
