is not doubted that the failure of the late campaign
in Florida has embodened the Creeks to plumber and
destroy the property and TO shed the blood Of the whites
CndeT this state Of things, it is the part Of prudence to
observe the Cherokees with watchiul and suspicious
eye, even though they might appear to be quiet and
pe:ceabie. But they have in fact given strong indca-

counties in which they are numerous, have become sui
