think Il necessary. The people have the
facts--they have s. en- CIaiborne and Ghnl
son resorting to subterfuges to obtain de-
ber. and retaining their seats under the de.

port came to this city with almost every
mark of authenticity, and was published as
a fact.
Gen. ]. has used himself up. WHY The

public money--.he blood-shed and murder
tho loss of so many valuable lives, and
destruction of property--to let the Indians
remain in a small portion of the territory?
Gen. Nelson, Of Georgia, is operating on
