The certificate of MarshaU, nO matter bow procured, ia one of the most darine; efinrts that ever was attempt ed by malignant villainy to palm a falsehood upon credulity. Now Sir, that you may be at once undeceived whh regard to the trick which has been olaved off bv inmc bodv. I have o assure you, that imlependcntly-of tbe nt three times riven lv M'lutoalu under hiao?n hand, which I hxve in my poinettinn, this same man Marshall hns repeatedly de clared to me, that there was mu a dissentient voice from the survey anion? the friendly Chiefs all the Chiefs I have seen have uni fbrnily declared the same, and so they have declared to others, both in and out of Coun cil: and for this you have nyv word ami hon or, and mar have my oath. I very Well know, that from the late events .which have trans phrd under the eyes f the Commissioners of Georgia, that the oath even of a Governor of Georgia may be permitti-d to pass for nothing, and that any vagabond of the In dian mntry may be put in requisition to di.'Cretlit him. But I assure you Sir, if that oath should not weigh one feather with vour government, it will weigh with the people of this state, who, so far at I have knowledge of tneir history, have never yet refused cre dence to the word of their Chief Magistrate, and I believe will not to the present one, un worthy as he may be.' 'Permit meto say n frankness, that I do not like the complexion of things at all, as disclosed by the Commissioners on the part of the State, and sincerely bope that you m?.y never have cause to regret the part you have taken in them eery prepossession here was in your favor, and it would have criven me great pleasure to cherish it in behalf of n officer who had rendered signal service to ms country, through many a perilous and trying scene.

K.ASTKH1 DprLRTMRIT, Indian Sprine, July -38M, 1825. S Sin: I have to acknowledge the honor of your fcxceucmey'S letter of the 17th fcfthia month, by which it appears that vou had ' only a moment tosav one word" in" answer to mine of the 10th. ' Your one woH, comprehending however, two prettV closely written hairc.. r.nmmv it does from the Chief Magistrate of an en- i gmeneu na pa rio'ic tnenihi rof the United States, demands rrr-. attention. Nat bin disposed ho vever, to foHtiw vour example, as to '"'. I ae permitted Vouf letter to lie on my table for a week pastin- the-expectation that a little reflection would snp-irest to you "the propriety of correcting oome ex pressions apparently hasty, and calcinated to call forth an answer Dartakinir ofihe etitna and heated atmOsjjbere in which I find my self, against which it has beeti my constant purpose carefully to aiiardiV, Bu yaur letter having made its appearance In a newsnaoer. just now handed to me bv a friend. I can no longer see the nronnetv of withholding a. re- Vl3- Yo say the certificate of UarshaJV no matter how proenred, is.oiMi of the most daring effiirts that ever wa attempted by ma lignanfiyilliiiny to palm falsehood on icno- rant credulity:" "Ao matter 7ow prtcuretr ! will frit state to you the manner in-which that fright ful certificate was " procured and then proceed to sliow that its ' dKri.ie' character consist onjyi luits truth, and ttijiflirect ten dency toeipoe-5nart the " malignant vil--lainy" wbich has been extensively practised on the creduljty of many of the good cit'istens of Georjtia arid other states in, seference to the Indians and the treaty. The facts con tained in the certificate in ouettion were' voluntarily and to me uuevpectedly com municated by Mr, w illiam Edwawl and Jo seph MaiMiall, whose signatures it bears. Of the character of William, Edwards, who is a citizen of this state, 1 have had no means ot' knowing much personalty If e has heen re presented to me by Col Ifroadnax if Pike, and by Col. Phillips of thia county, as a man of truth, poor, but honest and upright: a de scription of character, applicable to a large diss of the inljaljtant of this and other parts of our w&rtem border, in whom f have usual other las of American citizens. Josepii ly found as much -devotion to truth, as in any Marshall i personally better known to me.

Neither of these'tnen. vA- Lward or-Marshallj appeared to meat all qualified for- what you denounce their eerti ficate to be thr most daring effort that ever was attempted,by malignant villainy i Their stateriients; were simple and ipparenlly un prejudiced and unimpassioned. -They were made after the principal business of the Council had been brought to a close, and in the, presence of manyof the "resictable citizens of Pike 'county.

Hving thus explained to yo the means emplnveil to obtain tbe certificate in question, tor which I Hold myself repo-sible, ka e now to remark that, although I oerer enter tained a doubt but you were deceived into a Helicf that Gen, Mcintosh bad consulted the few Chiefs of id nartv. and had obtained their assent in Council, fothe immediate sur ey of the ceded land, yet t have found no s-'itisfactory evidence of anv Mich Connoil con sisting of tbe Chiefs of the -ended territory, mvinjr ever acted at all upon the suliject. Mia is apparent from M IntosH'i letters, ''uo matter how procured,"" (I will offer no apolo gy for making use of your Excellency's pref nan! phrof. lorbv wboin wr''en.that e him self cons'dcred the nermimion to survey as merely Conditional Hut I contend that nei ther Gen. Mcintosh nor his vassal Chiefs bad any right to gitesucll permission for the treaty, 'io matter how procured,' had become a law of the land: its provision e-t!d not therefore be changed or rendered inopera tive by any correspondence or any subse quent agreement between your Excellency 8c any prt or the whole of the individuals of one of the contracting parties, without tis consent of the other. The treaty makes It our duty to protect the Indians against the whites and all others. To protect them from the whites, it Is necessary and proper t hit t we should maintain the usual line of demarcation between the in and the whites. . I am charged with their protection. To accomplish this important duty my first object had been to take effectual measures to prevent all inter course between them and the whites, e seen. ting only such as is sanctioned bv the laws of 'he United States. You say MI very well know that from the late event which have transpired under the eyes of the Commissioners of Georgia, that the oath of a Governor of Georgia may be pur :itted to pass for nothing, and that any va gahund of the Indian country may be put:in requisition to discredit him; but I assure you sir, if that oatli should not weigh a single feather with your Government, it will weigh with the people of this state, who so far as 1 have knowledge of tlu-ir history,' have never yet refuse! credence to the word of their cinef Magistrate." To this apparently very sorious, but certain ly vory, vague charge, I cannot undertake to reply until you do me the favor to give me some specification of the matters of fact to which vou uave reference. I wilP however take this occasion to remark, that whatever statement you may have received in support of the insinuation apparently contained in your letter, that I have called' ;n question, or ever put any person in requisition to call in question the oath, or the word, of a Govern or of Georgia, during iiiscont nu.mce n office, is wholly destitute, of -truth.. I liave indeed believed, and have expressed to you tny be lief that you have been greatly -deceived by persons in whose honor you placed reliance, but wko were unworthy your confidence, . ..But I am by no means "disposed to yield even my tacit assent to the high toned rule of English law which your remarks just ho ' quoted call to mind, that the King can do no wrong.? Truth is a divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue. "Truth Is the basis of all fexceUence." This inestimable mbral treasure, truth, is to, be found in the cottage n, well as In tbe palace, at the plough as well as at rhc official bureau of state. Ma ny f, the unfortunate wanderers of the wil- ciern s and its borders are firm votaries of truth as any men I have ever known. 1 oine of them Who have been unfortunate, and whose regard to truth and honesty induced them to give up the last dollar justly due to their creditors, had they regarded money a little more, and truth a little less, might have fmled full handed, and now instead of being reduced to the condition uf despised poverty, would wanton in the luxuries of plundered wealth. It is no longer possible in Amerira to make fiee men believe that ", A'ntj for he who govern J can th no -aronj." " The enlightened citizens of the republic having long since found it to be fruitless to Jooij ii.r angelt in the form of men to govern them, know full well how to discriminate be tween the high office, and tbe man who fills it. Your Excellency will I doubt not always re. ceive adegree of respect proportioned at least to that which you are wont to bestow On other oif ii in office: more than this Could not be expected less than this M ould not be just. Thar a great part of the citizens of Georgia are magnanimous, just, generous and chival ric I. well know and teat they are d spoaed to do justice to their chief magistrate I am e quallv convinced: nor can 1 doubtsbat they will do equal justice to their U.
