seen by a decision upon the question now be
fore us." So soon as the appointment of the
Commissioner was known, it produced much
excitement among the Indians. "They knew
that the Green Bay lauds were hut a pretext,
and not the real object of the commissioner.—
They understood ail this.—They knew the ob
ject of the treaty was to (jet from them, lor the
land company, their New York lands. To o
vercome these scruples, and to reconcile them
to the measure, the agents of the land compa
ny went to work," and we will see in what
manner.
We find that during the year 1837, "and un
der the very nose of our commissioner, a cer
tain Heman B. Potter, an agent of the land
company, entered into written contracts with
John Snow, a Seneca chief, Samuel Gordon a
Seneca Indian of the Cattaraugas reservation,
and six others, by which heagreed on the part
of the pre-emption proprietors to pay to eight
leading and mfluentiai chiefs, the sum of s2l',-
000 in cash, besides executing leases, some for
life, some for a term of years, some during oc
cupancy. and one grant in fee simple, as re
wards or bribes, for serving the company faith
fully. In what? In using their influence in
council; and in confidential interviews with the
other Indians, so as to effect a treaty with the
governmentfor their Green Bay lands, and so
as to effect a release and relinquishment of tlic
Indian title to the proprietors of their reserved
lands in the slate of JYew York; and in case of
success in these double negotiations, and in the
event of their ratification by the Senate of the
United Stales, then these bribes were to be con
sumialed, and not otherwise.
The Hon. R. H. Gillet, the United States
Commissioner is now introduced upon the stage
of action. "Sir (says Mr. Sevier,) the Indians
being thus tampered with, in advance, for the
occasion, our commissioner entered upon the
stage lor the performance of his part of the
drama." After a protracted negotiation, he
succeeded in purchasing the Green Bay lands,
for the smu of 400,000 dollars in cash, and
1,800,000 acres of land, west of Missouri.—
Appended to the treaty thus made by the com
missioner, we find two deeds of conveyance,
one from the Tuscaroras to Ogden and Fel
lows, of all their title to 1920 acres of land; and
the other from the Senecas to the same parties
for 116,000 acres, all lying in the stale of New
York, and some in the vicinity of Buffalo, lor
which they agreed to pay the sum of $311,000
not quite two dollars an acre. These deeds
were approved by our commissioner, and, what
is more remarkable, were transmitted to the
Senate, in 1838, with the treaty.
The treaty thus negotiated by Mr. Giliet
was found to be so " essentially destructive"
that the Senate although uninformed of the
"fraud, unfairness and "bribery" by which it
had been brought abouf, refused to ratify it.—
Many complaints were made against it by the
Indians, and it was stated that a majority of
the chiefs neither approved of nor had signed
the treaty, although it purported to have been
approved in council, and properly assented to.
After a number of amendments, however, had
been made, the Senate sanctioned the treaty,
on the express condition , "that the treaty, as
amended, should be approved of by a majorty
of the chiefs of each tribe, separately assembled
in open council , and alter it had been, by our
commissioner, fairly and fully explained in
open council, and by a majority of them freely
and voluntarily asseuted to in open council."
With the treaty thus amended, the commis
sioner again departed on his mission, and suc
ceeded in obtaining the assent of all the tribes
but the Seneca*. These he found refractory,
and after building two council houses, the first
of which was burnt by an incendiary, "he fully
and fairly explained the treaty, and the amend
ments of the Senate," But the poison had now
taken effect. The great land company had not
been at work in vain, and, accordingly we are
informed by the commissioner, that another
treaty, which had been signed between the
Senecas and the pre-emption owners, had been
ratified by the Governor and council and Mas
sachusetts; and that "at the late council, it was
the sale under this treaty, and not the advan
tages secured under the one negotiated by me
■(the commissioner) that formed the principal
subject of consideration." "/< was the sale to
the land company, brought about by bribery
and corruption, that had occasioned the failure
of our commissioner in perfecting the purchase
of the Green Bay Land."
The scheme of the land company was not
yet completed, and it was found necessary to
resort to extraordinary expedients to force the
Senecas into an assent to the amended treaty.
The Indians had a majority in council opposed
to it, and were able at any lime to vote it down,
but the commissioner kept the council adjourn
ed-from day to day, and it was feared by the
Indians that by sojdoing, a majority might be
f;ot in some way or oilier to assent to the treaty,
t was also intimated that the Senate would
recede from its amendments, and that the
treaty would be ratified as originally made, "in
which event tliey would lose the rewards and
iife leases, BfC., which they then had it in their
power to obtain from their friends, the gener
i'ous and liberal minded pre-emplioners." They
were further told that their New York lands
were gone at any rate, as their deeds had been
approved by the Governor and council of
Massachusetts; and with all these arguments,
which were eloquently and ingeniously urged
upon them, they were solicited to assent to the
amended treaty. But all these arguments,
threats and intimidations were of no avail, and
the commissioner was compelled to adjourn the
conncil, in order to gain time for future opera
tions, and to agree with the pre-emptioners up
on the modus operandi of the next attack.
"Learning from the discussions in council"
(says Mr. Gillei) "that many desired to remain
longer than five years on their reservations,
I induced the agent of the pre-emtive owners,
to authorise* me to say in writing, |that he
would on behalf of the pre-emptive purchasers,
agree to allow them to occupy their farming
lands ten instead of five years." No, this
would not do. "In connection with General
Dearborn" (the agent of the State of Massa
chusetts) continues Mr. Giliet, I requested the
a<ent (or the pre-emption company) to offer life
leases, free of rent, to all who chose to remain.
"No, a stubborn follow, a chief in the opposi
tion, Is-ael Jemison, rose and stated tl at he
was authorised to say that the opposition unan
imously declined the proposition!'
After tl.ie frst offer ol life leases, the com
missioner produced his amended treaty, for the
assent of the council, and out of eighty-one
Chiefs of the Seneca tribe, who had been oper
ated upon, in every possible manner, by the
bribery of life leases, free of rent, for all who
choote to stay, embracing the whole tribe , he
was only able to obtain in open council , as re
quired to do by the resolution of the Seqate,
sixteen signatures of assent to the amended trea
ty, and in addition to these sixteen, he obtained
afterwards, not in council, but at his private
lodgings the assent of thirteen more, and at
Ihtnr own residence the signatures of two oth
ers. making in all thirty one out of eighty one
Chiefs belonging to the Seneca tribe."
What now is the course of the Hon. Win.
Gillett, an indefatigable commissioner? "Find
ing he could not obtain the assent of a major
ity ofthe chiefs, be informed the agent of the
pre-emtioners, (not the Indians with whom he
was negotiating,) "that he should adjourn the
council, as there seemed to be no more dis
posed to sign the assent." on adjourning, the
council (says he,) I did,what I thought due to
them and the purchaser." "If there are not
signatures sufficient to meet your approbation,
and it should turn out that the legal title is in
the purchasers, then the condition of the Serie
cas would be deplorable. "They would be
w tliont a home Ike." Well might the Hon.
Senato* exclaim!
"Oh, Senecas! Senecas! What insanity!
If" you do not assent to the treaty, you will be
without a home—without even your Green
Bay lands, which you refuse to sell us. How
cruel and hard hearted you are in refusing to
the human, and benevolent, and Indian
loving and and God serving pre emptioners!"
The commissioner reports the result of his
movements to the Secretary of War, and very
significantly concludes, by iutiirming that func
tionary, that all the expenses had been defray
ed by the United States; but thinks if any
further expenses are to be incurred, that the
pre-emptioners should pay their part of it.—-
"We ought to have said the whole ol it, as i
would be for their private benefit.
We are referred now to another source lor
some very important light, which our commis
sioner has most wilfully and culpably omitted to
throw upon this subject. In the report ol Gone
ral Dearborn to Governor Everett of Massachu
setts, he observes "that at the last council, one of
the chiefs of the opposition, rose and stated, that
they wished the council might be kept open, af
tet those had signed the treaty who were present,
as they tksired to execute, in the presence of the
commissioner of the United States, and the su
perintendent of Massachusetts a written declara
tion of their dissent.'" The commissioner refus
ed to be present at the execution of the protest,
and after he retired, it was signed in the pre
sence of, and attested by Geceral Dearborn, who
afterwards transmitted it, according to the re
quest of the Senecas, to Governor Everett. This
protest contained the namesof sixty chiefs, out of
the eighty one, and was duly "signed, sealed, ex
ecuted, witnessed and delivered" in open council.
We are thus brought to the period of the first
mission of Mr. Gillet, and the unsuccessful ef
fort, on the part of the Land Company, aided by
the official influence of that individual, and the
means of the government, to induce the Indians
to assent to the treaty. The subject is, however,
not yet abandoned. Ijobor omnia vincit was the
motto of the pre-emptioners, and they determin
ed on another attack. We accordingly find the
Hon. Mr. Gillet and General Dearborn again on
the field of action; with instructions to the form
er to obtain the assent of a majority of all the
Seneca chiefs, but with the intimation from the
Secretary of War, that "as he had heretofore
met the requirement ofthe Senate, by full ex
planations to the Indians in council, he migh"
proceed, to obtain the assent of such as had not
theretofore given it up."
These instructions constitute the false step
in the negotiations, and the attempt to comply
with the resolution of the Senate, of the 11th
June, 1838, (which required the assent to be
given in open council, "bv hunting up Indians
out of council, in the woods, or any where,
wheresoever they might be (bund," is fully and
indignantly exposed by Mr. Sevier. We find
also, that (General Dearborn himselfdid not ap
prove such a measure, and in order to over
come his scruples, Mr. Gillet is again instruc
ted by the Sesretary of War to hold another
council, at his discretion, if General Dearborn
desired it. Another council, however, never
was held, but the Commissioner reports that
"he hud visited such plaees on the reservations
as he was desired to do by any of the chiefs."
In direct violation of the resolution of the Sen
ate, and of a public pledge to the Indians, that
he had not closed the previous council, but had
adjourned it to the 15th November, the com
missioner received eight more signatures at his
room in Buffalo— one at his former lodgings at
Bullae creek, and one at the residence of the
sub-agent! These ten thus obtained, added to
the thirty-one before received, made forty-one,
which is a majority of one; and it is then in
sisted that the treaty had been assented to; if
not according to the resolution of the Senate,
according to the instructions of the War De
partment!
Ofthe ten additional assents,we are inform
ed by Mr Crawford, in his letter to the Secre
tary of War, upon the subject of the last re
port of the Commissioner, that two signatures
were made by attorney, which accounts for the
important (act, that several of the Chiefs,
whose signatures appear to the treaty, deny
ever signing or assenting to it, or ofauthorizing
any other person to do so for them.
in this unusual and informal and unwarrant
ed condition, this very important treaty was
again brought before the Senate of the United
States, in January 1839. The President was
not bound to submit it again for consideration.
He had full power, by the terms of the resolu
tion of 11th June 1838, to promulge it, without
again consulting the Senate, whenever he was
satisfied that it had been duly assented to, as
required by the Senate. "He had the power
to speak but a single word, and close up this
controversy forever. But sir, (continues the
senator) he wisely preferred adhering to the
immutable and eternal principles ofjustice, to
the pecuniary gains of Massachusetts or New
York." The resolution of the 2d March 1839,
will show how the Senate again disposed of it .
It was
Resolved, That whenever the President shall
be satisfied that the assent of the Senecas to the
amended treaty of 11th June 1838, has been
given according to the true intent and mean
ing of the resolution of that dale, the Senate
recommended the President to make proclama
tion of the same."
Upon this the land company send all their
force into the field, and we find that every
means are resorted to, for the purpose of induc
ing the President to promulge the treaty; and
prominent among the parties thus endeavoring
to operate upon his mind, and influence his
action is the Ogden land company. On the
4th of April, there is a letter from this compa
ny to the President; and on the 6th of March,
two days after the adjournment of Congress,
two distinguished Senators, furnish an influen
tial agent of that company, with their opinion,
that the requirements of the Senate on the llih
June 1838, had been dispensed with by the
resolution of the 2d March.
The President, however, did not think so,
and refused to promulgate the Treaty. He
despatched the Secretary of War, last August,
to Buffalo, to see what influence that high
functionary had with these stubborn
ami what was the result of his mission? He
convened a council, and submitted the amend
ed treaty, and we are informed by the President
in his message of 14th January, 1840, trans
mitting this treaty again, a third time for rati
fication, that "no advance Inwards obtaining the
assent of the Senecas to the annexed treaty, in
council, was made, nor can a majority of them,
in council, be now obtained.'"
Tnus, with all the influences that could be
brought to bear upon the Indians, and after at
tempting, by withholding their annuities, due
in 1837, until the summer of 1838, to starve
them into submission, they could not be com
pelled to assent to the treaty.
The Senate, in view of every circumstance
of the case; with all the testimony before them,
refused to ratify the treaty by the o nsiitution
al majority, and it is again in the hands of the
President, under the discretionary power
granted to him by the Resolution of the 11th
June, 1888, and the 2d March, 1839. We shall
see what disposition he will now make ofit.
Very respectfully,
HARRISON CONVENTION—4th MAY.
The following is from Uniontotvn, Pa-:
BALTIMORE CONVENTION# —The Committee
in behalf of the Delegates of the Union Bo
rough to the Young Men's National Conven
tion, to assemble at Baltimore on the 4th of
May next, have decided on building a "LOG
CABIN," to hold from 20 to 25 persons, to be
pluced on wheels, drawn by six horses, with
out change, and to travel with the ordinary
speed for that distance. This plan is designed
to accommodate every mode of travelling that
may be adopted by all, or any, of the other
delegates to the Convention. We hope the
country delegates who intend going, will 3ee
the necessity of the meeting advertised at the
Court House, (or the 20th of April, and that
there will bea full "turnout." Noyotintr man
whose soul is in and for the cause of HAR
RISON Bc. REFORM, should stay at home
on this anticipated thrilling occasion of the
assemblage of the young men throughout the
Union, whose business engagements can in any
wise permit his attendance.

GENERAL HARRISON
We find the following article in the JFood
bury (A*. J.) Constitution, of the 7th inst.
THE HOMAGE OF JUSTICE.
We have compiled, from the various
sources, the following disinterested testimoni
als, which were commanded from their sever
al authors by the lofty patriotism, valor, ta
lents and success ofGen. HARRISON, long be
fore he was named for the Presidency, and in
times which ought to give them weight suffici
ent to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignity
may now presume to forge against the war
worn and time-honored patriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the puny
attacks of Federalism, and which we shall ste
reotype as an impregnable barricade against
all opposition, are no less than the Congress of
the United States, the Legislature of Indiana
and of Kentucky, James Madison, James
Monroe, Colonel Richard M. Johnson, Antho
ny Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon
Gov. Shelby, Com. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col-
Davies, and others, including in the illustrious
catalogue even Thomas Ritchie, himself!
We begin with the testimony of Col. Rich
ard M. Johnson, now Vice President of the U
nited States.
Col. Johnson said, (in Congress) —
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of
the signers of the Declaration of Independence,
who spent the greater part of his large fortune
in redeeming the pledge he then gave, ol his
'fortune, life and sacred honor,' to secure the
| liberties of his country.
"Of the career ofGen. Harrison I need not
speak—the history af the West, is his history.
For lorty years lie has been identified with its
interest, its perils and its hopes. Universally
beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguish
ed by his ability in the councils of his country,
he has been yet more illustriously distinguisii
ed in the field.
"During the late war, he was longer in ac
tive service than any other General officer; he
was, perhaps, oftener in action than any one
of them, and never sustained a defeat."
James Madison, in a special message to Con
gress, Dec. 18,1811, said,
"While it is deeply lamented that so many
valuable lives have been lost in the actioi) which
took place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see
with satisfaction the dauntless spirit of forti
tude victoriously displayed by every descrip
tion of troops engaged, as well as the collected
firmness which distinguished their commander
on an occasion requiring the utmost exertions
of valor and discipline."
James Madison, in his message to Congress
Nov. 1812, said,
"An ample force from the States of Ken.
lucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is
placed, with the addition of a few regulars, un
der the cemmand of Brigadier General Har
rison, who possesses the entire confidence ofhis
fellow soldiers, among whom are citizens,
some of them volunteers in the ranks, not less
distinguished by their political stations than by
their personal merits."
In Mr. Madison's message of Dec. 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows,
"The success on Lake Erie having opened a
passage to the territory of the enemy, the officer
commanding the Northwestern arms, transferred
the war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
troops, fleeing with their savage associates, forced
a general action, which quickly terminated in
the capture of the British, and dispersion of the
savage force.
Tiiis result is signally honorable to Major
General Harrison, by whose military talents it
was prepared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to
Gen. Harrison in 1811, by eleven of the officers
who fought under his banner at the battle of Tip
pecanoe:
"Should our country again require our services
to oppose a civilized or a savoge foe, we should
march under General Harrison with the most
perfect confidence of victory and fame."

Extract of a letter front Col. Davies, who
was hilled at the battle of Tippecanoe, Aug.
24,1811:
"1 make free to declare, that I hare imagin
ed there were two military men in the YVest,
and Gen. Harrison is the first of the two."
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor o(
Pennsylvania, Dec. 10th, 1813.
"Already is the brow of the young warrior,
Croghan, encircled with laurels; and the bles
sings of thousands of women and children res
cued from the scalping knife of the ruthless
savage of the wilderness, and from the still
more savage Proctor, rest on Harrisiou and his
gallant army."
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th
November 1811, the Speaker of the House ot
Representatives, Gen. YVm. Johnson, thus ad
dressed Gen. Harrison :
'Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory in their own name, and in behalf
of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate
the congratulations of your Excellency on the
glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict
with the Shawnee Prophet, and the tribes ol
Indians confederated with him when we see
displayed in behalf of our country, not only the
consummate abilities of the general, but the
heroism of the man; and when we take into
view the benefits which must result to that
country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold our meed of applause."
In the Legislature of Kentucky, Jan, 7,
1812—Resolved, By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State ol Kentucky, in
the late campaign against the Indians upon
the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison
has behaved like a hero, a patriot, and a gen
eral; and that lor his cool, deliberate, skilliil
and gallant conduct in the battle ol'Tippecanoe,
he well deserves the warmest thanks of his
country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wane, in his letter to the
Secretary of War, giving an official account
of his sanguinary Indian Battle, in 1792,
said .*
"My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harri
son, rendered the most essential service, by
communicating my orders in every direction,
and by his conduct and bravery, exciting the
troops to press for victory.
Resolution directing the medals to be struck,
and, together with the thanks of Congress,
presented to Major General Harrison, and
Governor Shelby, and for other purposes.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Re
presentatives ofthe United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the thanks of
Congress be, and they are hereby, presenten
ted to Major General William Henry Harri
son, and Isaac Shelby, late Governor of Ken
tucky, and, them to the officers and men un
der their command, for the gallantry and good
conduct in defeating the combined British and
Indian forces under Major General Proctor, ou
the Thames, in Upper Canada,on the fifth day
day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and thirteen, capturing the British army, with
their baggage, camp equipage, and artillery;
and that the President ofthe United States be
requested to cause two gold medals to be
struck, einblamatical of this triumpth, and
presented General Harrison and Isaac Shelby,
late Governor ol' Kentucky.

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
"We did not want to serve under cswa
or traitors; hut under one [Harrison] who haf
proved himself to he wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to Genera) Harrison, Aug.
18, 1817, says:
"The prompt change made by you in the or
der of hatile on discovering the position of the
enemy,lias always appeared to me to have evinc
ed a HIGH REGRER OF MILITARY TALENT. I COOCUr
with the venerable Shelby in his general appro
bation of your conduct in that campaign."
The opinions of the Hon.Lnngdon Cheves, of
the importance of the victory of the Thames,
and the bravery of Gen. Win. H. Harrision.
"The victory of Harrison was such as would
have secured to a Roman General in the best
days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph!
He put an end to the War in the upperrnos
Canada." t
Sentiment of the Hero of Fort Stephenson,
Col. Croghan, now of the War Department
"I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of Genera! Harrison.
"I have felt the warmest attachment for him
as a man, and my confidence in him as an able
commander remains unshaken. I feel evetjy as
surance that he will at all times do tncfemple
justice; and nothing could give me more pain,
than to see his enemies seize upon this occasion,
to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimo
nious dislike; and as long as be continues, (as in
my humble opinion he has hitherto done,) to
make the most judicious disposition, which the
forces under his command will justify, I shall
not hesitate to unite with the army in bestowing
upon him that, confidence which he so richly
merits, arid which has on no occasion been
withheld."
Lastly we come to the neat compliment of
Thos. Ritchie, editor of the Richuaonu Enquirer,
the leading organ of the Coalition in the South,
who now brandishes his old "bhapeiess sword
with two broken points," and threatens dcvasting
war upon the conqueror of the Britsh and Indian
Coalition of the West! The Richmond Enquir
er said;
"General Harrison's letter tells us every
thing that we wish to know a hour, the officers,
except himself. He does justice to every
one but Harrison —and the world must there
hire do justice to the mail, who was too modest
to he just to himself."
