IONS have been inserted through his inllu-

That while Gov. Barbour, Ia relation of Col.

y an Indian treaty made, that did not con-
tain some provisions for granting sums Of
money annually to Johnson's Choctaw
Academy, which is kept on his farm at tho
Greut Crossings, and is the greatest decep.
ton ever practiscd upon the poor nativat.
Richard NJ. johnson with his proiessed post

prove it, if no other existed. While hun
