'lie 18th May, iutrodiiciiig to this j.jov-
ornnimt Maj. tJtii. Gaines, and M ajor
Atulrews, as agents of tl.t* United States^
to enquii-e into the causes of tlip late In
dian disturbances—to adjust the diireren-
ccs subsisting'between ihe Indians, and
to enquire into the condiict of the Agent
lor Indian Aflairs, reconimendcd them

*d and treated accordingly. With the
conduct o the one, you have been already
made acquainted—with that^^f the other
it remains for me to place'you in posses
sion.
In the several conferences held with
Gen. Gaines on his first arrival, I receiv
ed repeated assurances from him of
friendly dispositions—of upright inten
tions—^of freedom from all kind of bias
or prejudice which could mislead his
judgnuiit, or inlluence his decisions
on any of the topics which, in the execu
tion of his trust, might present them
selves for discussion. Relying implicit
ly on the sincerity of ihe.se declarations
I began with regarding (Jeti. Gaines as
an honorable atid disinterested arbiter be
tween the United States, (ieorgia,-and
the Indians, and so continued to regard
him until a short time before his insult
ing letter of the 10th ult. was received
at thisDeiiartment. It was impossible
for this Government not to repel that in
sult with indignation. The chief magis
trate in his ofiicial m-ssage to the Legis
lature had slated explicitly that McIntosh
and his chiefs bar] given their consent to
the survey, and in support of this state
ment the letters of McIntosh were exhib
ited with his name subscribed in his own
hand, of which Gen. Gaines had full in
formation. Nevertheless the certificate

lorgets as well what he owes to his own
«:ovcrnment as to this His duly to you
required him to shew respect to this
government in all his intercourse with
it. If in that intercourse he had found
himself wronged or aggrieved by the au
thorities here, it was not allowed him lo
take the redress into his own hamh ; up
on representation to you, you were com
petent to decide the nature and the ex-
'enlofthe injury he had received, and of
the redress most suitable to it. He
would not confide the exerci.se of this
priviUge to you, no doid)t (juestioning*
your fitness or discretion for such mat
ters, but chose to rely on his own dexter
ity and prowess. He writes among otbet*
ihings,of the “malignant villainy” w hicU
has been extensively practiced on the cre
dulity of many of the good citizens of
Cieorgia and other States in reference to
the Indians and the treaty. A charge
so vague cannot be easily understood,
much less distinctly answered. Pre-sup-
posing it to be directed against the au
thorities of this State and to be in all res
pects true, who made tJen. (iaines the
Judge to pass this comdemnalory sen
tence on the conduct of those authorities.^
It had been understood that you hud re
served to yourself this power, and that
Gen. Gaines was here only as your agent
to collect the evidences upon which that
power was to be exercised.
He proceeds to make another refer
ence to the certificate of the Indian (Miicf
and the white man : reiterates the expres
sion of unlimited confidence in ihe ve
racity of Marshall, eulogizes him as a-
mong the most worthy of the “the little
treaty making party,” and comes again
to the conclusion that the Chief Magis
trate of Cicorgia and others arc not to be
credited against the certificate of such
respectable personages. Within this
hour I have received the testimony of
the Chiefs of the friendly party volunta
rily given “that the statement of Joo
Marshall to Gen. Gaines is false, and I
enclose you the certificate of my express,
a man of fairest character and undoubted
veracity to satisfy you that Marshall has
added falshood to treachery. In this
part of his letter he takes occasion to man
ifest his resentment toward the friends of
McIntosh; he calls them “/Ac little treaty
matcing party," then again “/e vas
sal Chiefs of McIntosh," and questions Iheir
right to make the survey. What a dis
passionate and impartial umpire is this
Gen. Gaines; one would have supposed
that consulting the magnanimity of a
soldier, if he departed from the line of
neutrality at all he would be found at tho
head of the weaker, the innocent and in
jured party. Hut the General consnlt-
ngtbe odds against him as fifty to one,
throws himself into the ranks of the
stronger party and thus commends him
self again to you for the discretion w hich
you had given him in advance.
The General is correct in one of his
position.s, and being in the right himself,
he puts you in the wrong, and .so conspi^
■Miously that you stand on the insulated
minence an almost solitary advocate fop
making and breaking treaties at plea
sure. (;en. Ciaines says, “the treaty, no»
matter how jirocured, had become a law
of the land,” kc. See. He had said to
ihe cotmcil at Broken Arrow that thu
treaty could not be annulled, and must be '
carried into eflect, See. &c. This is good
sense, 'i’he day before yesterday I re-
eived your letter, in which you say Gen.
(laiiics having infornied you that the
treaty having hec»n obtained by inti-igue
und ireachery, it will be referred to Con-
i,Mfss for re-consideration, (icn. (Jaines
t(d!s the Indians lliat no treatv has ever

(ieii. (iuines proceeds to manifest his
■cspecl and complaisance for the ChieC
Magistrate of a sovereign state, by in- '
foniiing him that “he has been greatly
deceivefl by pi rsons in whose honor he
pkiced reliance, but who w'cre unworthy
of hisconlideii(:(*,” thus taking upon him
self the responsibility to decide for iho
Chief Magistrate one of the most deli-
cat-.‘ of .ill (lu'-stions connected with gov-
ernnienl and sovereignty, viz: tho q’lies-
lion who are worthy of trust, and who a-
iiiong l!ie public servants are or art; not
eniitled to iiis coiiridence. In a liite lime,
