United States and Georgia.
Executive Department, Oorpia,
MilSrtl^eville, 7iti Aujj. 18J5.
Sir: ? The letter or the secretary
of War of the 18th May. introducing
to this government Maj. Gen. Gaines
and Major Andrews, as agents of the
United States, to inquire into the
causes of the late Indian disturbances
? to adjust the differences subsisting
between the Indians, and to inquire
into the conduct of the agent for In
dian affairs, recommending them as
officers distinguished for ability, pru
dence and discretion. They were re
ceived and treated accordingly. ?
With the conduct of the one, you
have been already made acquainted
? \n i 1 1 1 that of the other it remains
for me to place you in |>osscssion.
In the several conferences held i
with Gen. Gaines on his first arrival
I received repeated assurances from
him of friendly dispositions, of up- .
right intentions, of freedom from all 1
kind of bias or prejudice which could
mislead his judgment, or influence
his decisions on any of the topics
which, in the execution of his trust,
might present themselves for discus
sion. Relying implicitly on the sin
cerity of these declarations. I began
with regarding Gen. Gaines as an
honorable and disinterested arbiter
between the United States, Georgia, .
and the Indians, and so continued to
regard him until a short time before ?
his insulting letter of the 10th ult. I
was received at this department. It j
was impossible for this government
not to repel that insult with indigna
tion. The chief magistrate in his otti- .
cial message to the legislature had
stated explicitly that M*Intosh and
his chiefs had given their consent to
the survey, and in support of this
statement the letters of M*Intosh
were exhibited, with his name sub- I
scribed in his own hand, of w liicli Gen. i
Gaines had full information. Never
theless the certificate of an Indian
chief who had deserted from the
M'lntosli party, and of a white man
of whom Gen. Gaines himself does
not pretend to know any thing, is
procured to discredit the statement J
of the governor, and to exhibit him J
before the public as the dupe of the j
vilest and shallowest imposture; and 1
in his solicitude to accomplish this
he r< ?r?*ets that it is the consent gi\ en I
by M l ntosh and his < hit Is to the I
survey which, on the information of
I'm* agent, you have taken for grant
ed to be the sole cause of ail the dis
turbances in the nation, and up.;n
which you have recently issued tiic
mot offensive orders to this govein
inent connectcl with that survey,
and in your last one even denounced
military ve?<geance against those
who shall attempt to carry it into
execution. hen Gen. Gaines is re
buked in the mildest language wliich
the unprovoked in.-ult would admit
of, he pie- en's liimsell again before
t hi* puMic in a letter indulging in
most intemperate abu*e of alt the
constituted authorities of a .im ereign
state, and of the great hod) of its
people, and which he causes to I?c
published almost a week btforc it
was mined at this department.
\\ ith regard to the fiiv.t letter ot
general Gaines* to which 1 have call
ed your attention, l.e does not seem
to have been content w ith addressing
a letter so very exceptionable t? ? the
head of this government ? He as
sumes the authority to order its pub
lication, on the allegation of some
pretended and undefined malicious
falsehoods in circulation, and wlo;.!?
he makes tire foundation * an appe:i|
to the public ? an appeal inose cen
surable than that for which the gal
lant and meritorious Porter is now
answering before a court martial as
sembled by your order, inasmuch as j
the hitter only defends himself against
inculpatory charges made by his own
government, whilst the former, who
was bound by equal respect to this
government, does not pretend that
anv charges of any kind had been
prefer it') by it against him. It is in
this letter too that general Gaines
has fallen into the shocking extrava
gance of asserting what nobody can
believe, that the M'lntosli party
which made the treaty, constituted
but a fiftieth part of the nation; and
it was in the same letter made know n
officially to this government that he
1 had happily concluded a pacification
of !the Indians when at that moment
V reuvjtw from the padfita
I
lion as he ever hail been, of which
fact I have e\en within the passing
hour received the rnont incontestable
evidence.
With regard to the second letter,
of the 28th uK. which now that ( aiu
writing has for the first time been put
into iny hands, and almost a week
after its publication, I havo to re
mark, that the history of diplomacy
will not furnish a parallel, so marked
with indiscretion, intemperance, de
liberate disrespect, and the outrage
of all decency. Gen. Gaines forgets
as well what he owes to his own go
vernment as to this. His duty to you
required him to show respect to this
government in all his intercourse
with it. If in that iutercourse he had
found himself wronged or aggrieved
by the authorities here, it was not
allowed him to take the redress into
bis own bauds; upon representation
to you. you were competent to decide
the nature and the extent of the in
jury be bad received, and of the re
dress most suitable to it. He would
not confide the exercise of this privi
lege to you, no doubt questioning,
your fitness or discretion for such
matters, but chose to rely on his ow n
dexterity and prowess. lie write?
among other things of the malig
nant villany*' which has been prac
tised on the credulity of many of the
good citizens of Georgia and other
states in reference tutbe Indians and
the treaty. A charge so vague cannot
be easily understood, much Ies4 dis
tinctly answered. Presupposing it to
be directed against the authorities of
this state and to be in all respects
true, who made General Gaines a
judge to pass this condemnatory sen
tence on the conduct of those autho
rities!* It had been understood that
you bad reserved to yourself this
power, and that Gen. Gaiues was
here only as your agent to collect the
e\ idences upon which that power was.
to be exercised.
lie proceeds to make another re
ferenee to the certificate cf the Indian
chief and the white man; reiterates
the expression of unlimited confident e
in the veracity of Marshall, eulogi
sts him as among the mast worthy of
*? the little treaty making party," and
comes again to the conclusion that
the chief magistrate of Georgia and
others are not to he credited against
the certificate of such respectable per
sonages. M i tli in this hour 1 ha\e re
reived the testimony of the friendly
chiefs of the friendly party volunta
rily given '? that the statement of Joe
Marshall to Gen. Gaines is false,'*
and I enclose you the certificate of
my express, a man of the fairest cha
racter and undoubted veracity, to sa
tisfy you that Marshall has added
falsehood to treachery. In this part
of his letter l:c takes occasion to ma
nifest his resentment towards the
friends of M'Intosh; he calls them
<? the little treaty making party,"
then again "the vassal chiefs of
M'Intosh," anil questions their right
to gi\e permission to make the sur
vey. \\ hat a dispassionate and im
partial umpire is this General Gaines !
One would have supposed that, con
sulting the magnanimity of a soldier,
if l;e departed from the line of neu
trality at all lie would be found at the
head of the weaker, the innocent and
in jured party. Hut the general, con
sulting the better part of valor and
counting the odds against hint as fif
ty to one. throws himself into the
ranks of the stronger party, and thus
commends himself again to you for
the discretion which you had given
him in advance.
The general is correct in one of his
(ir.-iitions, and being in the right him
self. he puts \ou in the wrong, and *<?
conspicuously that you stand on the
insulated eminence an almost solitary
advocate for making and breaking
treaties at pleasure. General Gaines
says, ?? the treaty, no matter how
procured, had become a law of tho
land," \c. ftc. He had said to the
council at Broken Arrow that tha
treaty could not be annulled, and
must be carried into effect, fcc. fcc.
This is good sense. The day before
yesterday I received your letter, in
which you say Gen. Gaines having
informed you that the treaty having
been obtained by intrigue and trea
efcery, it will be referred to congress
for re-consideration. General Gaines
tells the Indians that no treaty has
ever yet been annulled. You say this
treaty shall be an exception to all
others; and upon the intormation re
cviyvd from Wen. Gaines.
