Hope that buds in Lover's heart,
Lives not through the scorn of years !
Time makes Love itself depart,
Time and scorn congeal the rrtind;
Locks unkind
Freeze Affection's wannest teair
Time shall mak trie bushf s jrreen,

Jfami tlje enqturm
The deputation of Creeks which
passed through Richmond, has been
invited to the seat of government
to hold a talk lor re-organizing the
treaty made last year, by which
they have cedec to the United !
State that tract of land in the state
of Georgia, which lies within the
forks of the Oconee and Oakmul
gee rivers. By the articles of a
greement and cession entered into
cuthe 24th April, 1802, between
Georgia and the U. S. the U. S.
agreed to extinguish, at their own
egperice and for the use of Georgia,
the Indian title tc this tract, as a
mpensation in pan fcr the Yazoo
einoire. It was with great reluc
tance thatthcCreek nation consent
ed to sell their right to -this soil,
btitirhen the treaty was brought be
fore the Senate for their ratification,
it was rejected on account of the
high price ofnhe land. The ad
ministration,' we presume, is now
attempting to extinguish the Indian
title on more favourable terms.
; The principal man of triis depu
tation is the third chief in the na
tion, i he Creeks have three of
those head men, whom they call
chiefs or speakers. When the 1st
chief is absent on a hunting or a
war party, the second commands
in his place : when both these are
absent, the 3rd chief of the tribe as
sumes the command, These chiefs
preside over the great council of
" the nation, to w hith are referred
the most important measures the
forming of the laws and the making
of peace or war. In the Creek na
tion this deliberative council a
mounts to about 4CO. When the
question before them r J :tes te hos
tilities, they summon to their aid
the bravest warriors of their tribe.
If they express a great anxiety for
the measure, the council draws
back, being anxious to throw all
the respons ib i Iky on the m . If they
manifest any .indifference or oppo
sition to it, the council generally
assume a more spirited attitude'.
In this great coim il the question is
debated until the affair is settled to
every one's apparent satisfaction ;
no man peremptorily adhering to!
his own opinion, but eadi giving
way and modifying his own so as to !
come nearer to the sentiments oi j
the rest, f he cessation of t.he de-'
bate becomes the signal of unt.ni-1
nuty. JNo vote is formally taken
amon them ; there is no number
ing oi the yeas and the nays ; but
tne cmei simply pronounces in an
interrogative tone of voice : " You '
are agreed then upon this mea
sure:" If it be on a question oi
war, the principal warrior addres-i
ses the chief and demands ; Is it j
war The speaker answers, lt It
is war. At mat moment the war
rior lifts up the tomahawk, and the
question is supposed to Le irrevo
cably decuita.
1 he Creeks have five men a
mong them, who may be regarded
as the historical and legal libraries
oi the tnbe. It is their office to
collect-, nd transm-tu successive
"7 v,,-li v'a.uiy, antiqui-
tics and Liws.
At their anriM-il
tival, these m

y. l -"w iiic ll
'f-creilt l-Vcnfc '
..ujeucu to meir nation, from
thcearicst.lrada.ous d.lwn to lh;
present tune. These i.nperiect re-
v. t..ua uisscminated
ever
year among" the whole tribe, ft
When the great council of the na-11
tien is in session these learned tra -
ditionaries attend lor the purpose
of preserving their decisions. They
sit by during the debate, indifferent
to the reasons and arguments of the
speakers, which they are not ex
pected to record ; until the chief
comes to pronounce the decision,
and so great is their accuracy that,
according to Lou riawkms tney
preserve the decision m the very
words of the President..
The 3rd chief who is now with
the deputation, under the name of
Curnell, is represented by Col,
Hawkins, as by far the most elo
quent man in the Creek nation.
He is smaller than the ordinary
standatd of his tribe, but equaily
erect in his deportment. Being
descended from a white father, he
has lost most of the distinguishing
characteristics of an Indian; the
cocper complexion ; hiuh cheek
bones, and thick lips. lie speaks
Lnc hsh with some ease, but his
own language with considerable
fluency. We were present at one
of the talks which he delivered to
his companions, and our own ob
servation confirmed the eulogium
of Ciol. Hawkins. He delivered
himself, with such graceful gesture,
sweetness of tone, and animation
of countenance, as could not fail to
please the spectator, ignorant tho
ne was of the subject oi hisharangue.
In one indispensible attribute
of an orator, he appeared eminent
ly skilled. He had n6ne cf those
tremulous feelings of embarrass
ment or a desire for applause,
vhch generally call off the atten
tion of the speaker Irom the subject
to the spectator. Apparently un
affected by the company who sur
rounded him, he passed straight on
towards the point, which he was
seeking : and np man can com
mand the feelings of another," who
is not master of his own.
The subject of this harangue
was indeed enough to kindle the
eloquence of the untutored orator.
He and his companions had just
returned from a visit to the Capitol,
the Araioury, the Canal, and he
took that opportunity of expressing
the feelings of his own mind, and
of exciting theirs. 'During the
war with Great Britain, he said,
wef had been much in the want of
arms, thoT even then we had fought
so bravely ; and now we had esta
blished a manufactory; for supply
ing every soldier in the state with
a musket. To what, he asked was
this great contrast to j be ascribed,
which a few years had produced in
the appearance of the cijy ? It was
to the enlightened genius and the
industry, and the civilization of the
inhabitants. Could ihnj not dos
we did, and be like us rich in the
instruments of waY and the mate
rials cf enjoyment?
The Creek nation has already
made some advances ?n this career
of improvement. Col. Hawkins,
to whom too much praise cannot";
he given tor his humanity and zewl,
has now introduced ijmong them
the Plough, the Wheel and the
Loom. He has recalled them in
some measurefromlheir wearisome
and precarious life oi hunting to the
more productive pursuit of agricul
ture. They now raise a little Wheat
and a good deal of Indian Corn,
which they make into meal by
pounding it in mortals. The su
perintendant has however set them
the example of abridging the la
bour of this process, by employing
hand-mills, and even erecting a
small water-miil. Domestic ani
I mais havc been introduced among
them, but none execr-t the Cow
hive been widely diffused. They
frequently make butter, and some
times cheese, oi'uhiqh Col. Maw
kins received during the last year
iiomone Indian- woman
than lFOibs : They have
ne less
not yet
attained the art of tannin? leather
though die superintendant iias now
establishe d some vats for his own
use and fur their imitation. The !
min,.'., C . 1 i .

cannot be expected to have attained
any great proficiency. They raise
cotton and weave it inio shirting
and other' clothing. ;Vc saw a

But this important revolution in

when, from being the beasts ot

there is yet a third gradation in

Creek, may hereafter ascend to.

In turning over the pages of Dr.
Morse's a American Geography

the following particular. 41 In Al

the seat of President Jefferson.

The summit of the mount, where
his house stands, is 500 feet above
the circumjacent country. The
prospect is extensive and charming.
Mr. Jefferson has more than 1,100
acres of cultivated land. In 1797
he had 320 acres of wheat, ICO of
corn, 320 of clover, 320 of peas
and potatoes, and 120 workmen.
He has a manufactory of nails,
which turns out a ton of nails in a
month." If it is asked whence
has Monticello its name ? The an

a height elevating towards the

trious Chief of a pxeataud rising
nation occasionally retires, and, in
the sweetness of re-pose, contem
plates not only a world, but the
Universe at large. What was
said of the renowned Loc2, may
with great propriety be applied to
the Am lytic an Sage and Philan
