" The only point in Mr. Todd's letter, worthv of eoneideratinn. consists is the Coarse made by hint nn Gov.'Shfl- bvV authority, against Vn.

H-d of all verbiage, the charge it aiinply thit That Gen.

Shelby's firmnttx and patriotism defeated these selfUtt designs of General Jackson, anil saved for his country, ' that which his selfishness would nave filched from her. It is. no doubt; in the recollection of most of our;-readers, that at the . cnicaasaw Treaty flf 1818. certain land which in 1816 bad been received, in the name of George and Levi Colbert, were con veyed to James Jackson, by those Chiefs, for. the sum of 820,000, with an understanding, that the general gov ernment by paying that sum, sliouldaC- quire the right to those lands. Un this solitary circumstance; has the charges of selfishness and corropion been found ed. Why and wherefore the reserva- fiona were conveyed tolas. Jackson, will presently appear The evidence we are about to otter lor the elucida tion of this transaction.' is of the very highest kind iZ ii a confidential Journ al of the xrotndinst of the Uommisswn- ert, made by ihtir Setretary-Col.

Without such previous purchase, the treaty could ne ver have been concluded. . 4,'" .1 We assert,- furthermore, from the same authority -Govf Shelby'sthat he', Gov. Shelby, deemed it more, expo dient' to cause the reservations to be conveyed to an individual for the bene fit of the Government, than to, the gov ernment directly, and this was the tea son why they were conveyed to James Jackson. Considerations of a jighly iaiDiirtant character, which are stated n the journal, induced Gov. bltelby aad General Jackson to prefer in indirect conveyance to the governuteut, through the medium of an individual.'

Armstrong. r the castigatton which this roan re cently received, frm the hands of i ton for a slanderous attack on a de ceased father, will, doubtless, be made the subject of many sage reflection by the Coalition prints, we have thought proper to lurmsh our readers with brief statement of the circumstances at tending the transaction. The state raent may, we think, be relied on, as it it is drawn up from the Utter of an eye witness. Wm. Gilchrist, E-o. and Mr. M. Gilchrist, his brother, having learned that Doct. Armstrong, in a communi cation then in the press, had charged their deceased father vith having been a - lory in the revolutionary ttw,''rod to the residence of the Doctor, on Wed nesday last, accompanied by two other gentlemen, for the purpose of obtaining his signature to a certificate -which they had pre vionfly prepared. Mr. Gilchrist then informed Doct. Armstrong that any newspaper attack on himself or brother would have been difetTde, but that his slander on a deceased pa rent could "not be passed over. Doct. Armstrong attempted an explanation, but Mr. Gilchrist insisted on his sign ing , the certificate. What followed cannot be better told than in the words of our correspondent. At the mention of certificate, the Doctor, in a hurried tone of voice, said, I'll have nothing to do with it," and broke ground like a quarter horse,halooingmurder( murder, inurderi! The two Mr.Gilchristsbroke after him, and Col. , who had al so been invited tu ride out, and myself iruueu oown me Mil alter them. the Doctor fell, in his flight, three times before Mr. Gilchrist overhauled him; not forgetting, at each fall.' and between them, in ,verv jump, to cry out.'Jieln. urder! &c. with, trulv laraenuble x as , t w mti and tremendous JMce. His fast, fall was a great one; lit fell full lengih'into Duck river, when the water UeW at least ten feet hich. At the rivt Mr. Gilchrist boarded him and cave him one of the most genteel flagellations I ever saw." -. - 1 Our motive for publishing4 jthe cir cumstanccs i plated above-cannot be misconstrued. .
