Sir Yours of the 5th inst. has been duly received with the accompanying documents." I am directed by the President to express his regret at the failure of your efforts to-re-cOYicile the 'Creeks to an acquiescence in the treaty made at the Indian Springs, as it was his sincere desire to have seen it carried into effect. Hut the determined opposition of the Indians to the Treaty 'itself, on the alleged grounds of intrigue and treachery on the part of the portion of the tribe nego tiating the treaty, as well as the smallness, of their numbers, from which they argue its invalidity t ahd their solemn appeal to the justice and magnanimity of tlie U. States, creates such an obligation that we should, at least pause before we proceed, or permit others to do so, until these allegations can be thoroughly investigated, and their effect decided by the proper authority ; the more especially, as the eighth article of the treaty gives tilt September of the next year, be fore the treaty is to be carried into effect, and guarantees them from encroachment till that time. It is in this posturepf affairs Gov. Troup insists that he will survey the land. A collision by overt acts between the Exe cutive of the Union, and that of a state is so against the theory of the Constitution, and so repugnant to the feelings of the President, that he would determine' only under a so lemn sense of duty to do an act by which so serious a result would be produced. If Gov. "Tt cup should however'persevere in his declared purpose of. surveying the land against the repeated remonstrances of this Department, it will present one of the most unfortunate events which have yet oc curred in oui history. Its possible occur rence has induced the President to "weigh with the deliberate circumspection made ne cessury. as well by its serious cousequences as, Us high responsibility. His decision there on has been made and transmitted to Gov. Troup in a letter of this date, a copy of. which I inclose for your, information, and by which j'ou will learn tlie line of conduct which the President has prescribed to himself. It is still devoutly to be hoped that Gover nor Troup will abstain from any act that may m-.ke it necessary to have recourse to the s:eps suggested : yet should lie persevere in sending pe? sons to survey the lands embrac ed within the Treaty, you are hereby .autho rised to employ the military to prevent their entrance oh the Indian" Territory, "or if they should succeed in entering the country, to cause them to be arrested,-, and turn them over to'-the judicial authority, to be ' dealt with as the law directs.
