STATES—MaViD. j r _ The Crtek Treaty. TI<e Senate look up the report of the Commit tee off oufcrence on jhe disagreeing vote of the ['wo Houses, in regard to the appropriation bill for tarrying into effect the Treaty with the Creek Indians. The report having been read_ ' Mr Van Huren said, lie should statu the circum stances of this case, and the views of the Com mittee of Conference. A treaty was made in this city, in which it was stipulated, on the part of the United States that $247,000, together with an unnuity of $20,000 a year, and other considera tions, should be paid to the ('reeks, as a considera tion lor the extinguishment of their title tp lands in the State of Georgia, which the United States, un der the cession of 1602, were under obligations to extinguish. 1 he bill from the other House to carry this treaty into elfect, directed that the money should be paid and distributed among the chiefs and warriois. i hat bill came to the Senate, and a confidential communication was made to the Se nate, Irom which it appeared tLat strong suspicions vveie entertained, that a design existed nu the part of the chief* who made the treaty, to practice a fraud on the < reek nation, by dividing the money -mongst themselves and associates. An amend ment was proposed by the Senate, which pro vided for the payment of those moneys in the usual way, and the distribution of them in the usual manner, and in the usual proportion to which the Indians were entitled Tiiat amendment was sent to 'lie other House, who, unadvised as to the facts which were known to the Senate, refused to concur in it, and asked a conference. The con ferees on the part of theSenate communicated their suspicions to the conferees on the part of the lluugp, and asked them to unite in an application to the Department of vVar, tor infoimation on. the t subject. Tins was accordingly done, and the docu | ments sent, in answer, were, n letter from the -cLre.nry or vy ar, and a report by .Mr. lie •veiiney. 1'rotn that report it appeared clear and satisUctory, that a design thus existed on (he pajt i>k the Indians by whom the treaty was negotiated, lo distribute of tire $'217,000 to be paid for tire cession by the United States, #15»,75() among themseh es, and a few favorite chiefs at home, and three Cherokee Chiefs who had no interest in 'lie property, llidge and Y anti were to receive by the original treaty, $£5000 each. By ibis agreement of the distribution ol the money, each was to ro cetve § 15,000 more, making #20.000 for each — Ilidgc, the father ot Ktdge who is here, wa- lo re^ ceive $10,000. The other #100,000 was to be distributed, #5000, and in aonte instances, #10, 000 to the Chiefs who negotiated the treaty here— varying from one to ten thousand dollars each. That this distribution would he a manifest fraud to the ' reek nation, Mr. V. I) said, required no argument to elucidate. Tim conferees of both Houses were well satisfied lhat this design existed, and ct 'he obligation on tlie part of the United Slates, SO far as Congress could do so, to deieat so unworthy a scheme. They dilFered as to the means •hat Congress ought to use to carry it into effect. [Here Mr. Y . 15. slated tire tv. o modes of distribu tion proposed by the two Houses.] The two questions, then, Mr. V. 15. said, that presented themselves in this view of the subject were, had Congress the right to go lo the extent piopused in the amendment made by the Senate.3 and, if they bad, was it essential that they should do so? YVith respect to the right, he was, at tirst, under some doubt in regard it; lut a more careful examination had removed those doubts, and hat! satisfied him that the amendment of the Senate was warranted. The treaty directed that two hun dred and forty--oven thousand doll.-rs should bt paid to the chiefs of the ( trek, nation, to be di-tri tailed among tire chiefs and warriors of that nation. By the word chiefs, was it intended the chiefs in the nation, or the chiefs iu the City of Washing ton? Those in this city say it was intended io he paid lo them, and they ask of the Department o! War that it should be paid to them in sunn, counte. out according to the distribution which had been stated. 'There was no difference on this subject between the conferees. They were of opinion that the money was to be paid fo the chiefs of the nation in open council: that was the language oi th‘ treaty—the good sense of the treaty. Tlu delegation w ho negotiated the treaty say it is to bt paid to them; and that, in that view ol the subject, they tiro warranted in the opinion expressed ti them by the Secretary of War and the Superinten. dent ot Indian Affdrs. The conferees say, the in tention of the treaty was, and ;ts language imports that this money should be distributed in the usun proportion, according to ire just ugh:* of Iiuliai wairio.'s. There was nothing in the language o tiie treaty inconsistent with that idea. How ough the money to be distributed? Certftinlf on prin* cipie* of justice amongst 'hose Indians accordtnj to their right*. What was asked on the part o' the delegation? 1 hat it should be distributed nmon; them lor their personal advantage, and in con ceded injustice to those they represented. The' proposed to take one hundred and sixty liiousani dollars and to distribute it among themselves am j the favored.chiefs of the Cherokee nation. Th simple statement of the pretence ?et up, was si | against right and justice, that, Mr. T. B. said, the | were bound 10 presume that such could never Iiav j been tnc intention of our Government. It wasun j just and fraudulent. The chief* say they Inve right to do it, and they would abide by the conve j 'pience; hut it was conceded to be a corrupt design I What was the intention of our Government?''] j that construction was given to ibis treaty whici | was sought for by these Chiefs, the conclusioi j would be, that this Government intended to coun ! ienar.ee tins fraud. The chiefs say such was th I intention* Mr. V. I). said such could not hav I been the intention; and, as it could not be. tin j other conclusion is unavoidable. The inlantioi I was, that the money should he distributed accor j ding to the right* of the Indiana constituting thi Lieut nation. It was fair and just, and not incon ; sistent with the language of the treaty. Such, Mr j V. B. sard, would have been his view of the sub ject, if this had been a case between a civilizct nation and this Government. But when their at tention was turned to their light* over Indian pio perty, the case stood upon a different principle_ There had been great inconsistency amongst us ai to the right* we had exercised over the Indian*. ~ At one time, they depended on our mere will ant pleasure; at another time, we had treated thpmai an individual power. From the riineof the forma tion of this Government, tve had assumed thr right to legislate, according to our will and plea *uis, over their interest and property, so far a* tc proifct them from fraud. On this principle, w< had regulated all their trade. We had provider by law that ihey should not dispose of the lamb they owned, utiles* in a specified form’, and to thi United States.

The amendment Iron, the House suppose, that may be fi?C,wV u“S R,0‘“!y ^ il‘ °l’en council of: llie chicts, when summoned in the usual way The conferees on the part of the Scute believed that measure would fall short of obtaining the desired j end; that the amendment of the House did not Ko ! lar enough, but, under the circumstance, of the case. Congress should go farther, and see that the money was properly distributed. They ought to see that th.s money went actually into the hands of the different < hiefs and Warrior*—then, if they chose' to give it to the Cherokees. or to dispose of it in thehd'uty 8’ tllC Un‘ted SutC8 would »«ve done Mr. V. B. said, in his judgment, the character ol the Government was involved in this subject, I and it would require, under the circumstances of J this case, that they should take every step they ! rould rightfully take, to exculpate themselves troai havingin any degree or form, concurred in I , ,d- 1 he teutiinent of the American People ! where he resided was, r,„d had been highly excited ! on this subject —they had applauded In the most! ardent manner tiie zeal manifested by the Govern- ! ment to preserve themselves pure in their negotia tions with the Indians; and though he was satis lied -though he deemed it impossible to suppt.se for a moment that Government could have coun ..u,c practice oi mis Iraud, yet there were Circumstances in this case which required exculpa tion. Between the negotiation of the treaty and the negotiation ot the suppletnentory article on which th« treaty was dually adopted, all these cir cumstances were communicated to the Depart ment of War by the two Uherokees. Mr. V. B Kaidit was not his purpose, because the necessity , ol the case did not re«juire it, to say what the Se | cretary of War ought to have done, or to censure | what he did do, when the information wus given I to him. He had known him many years, and there was not an honester inan, or a inan more de VH* C0U,,trjr tllan ‘hat gentleman was. .Mr. ^ . U. said it was not for him to have said what should have been the course of the President of tiie United States, if the informatiou had been given to him on the subject. It could not tail to ! make a mortifying and most injurious impression on 1 the nunds of the People of this country, to find uiat no means whatever were taken for the sup pression of this fraud. There was, and there ought to be, an excitement on the subject in the public mind. The members of the Senate had seen it . It had displayed itself strongly andVrikingly on the point of this controversy between Georgia, the United Slates, and the Creek*. The settlement of that controversy was applauded from one end of the Union to the other. So far as the State of Georgia was concerned, she claimed that the title to all the Indian lands within her limits, should be extinguished ^3* United States, according to the obligation of the cession of 1802. Tliis question had been settled—and how? Every thing that bad been done, so far as Georgia was concerned, by the treaty of the Indian Springs, is believed to have been done by this treaty. Every foot of land is believed to hate been ceded. It was the understanding of the delegation of the State of Georgia that this treaty extinguished the Indian title to all the laud. Mr. Berrien ro$c, and said it was not the under standing of the Delegation of the State of Georgia, | that thik treaty ceded ail the land. That fact had I been stated to the Sunate by himselt in his place. In a certain event it was rendered probable that the l.ncs to which the additional article of the treaty extended, would embrace ail the land, but accord i'g to the best information, it was bis belief that the State ot Georgia would lose one million of j acres by the new treaty. | Mr. Van liuren resumed. It was stated to the J Senate, when tlie treaty was under consideration, i that the Indians were willing and designed to cede to Georgia nil their lands. The controversy had been settled—and how? According to this view ol the subject, everything so far as the Slate ol Georgia was concerned, by the treaty of the Indian j Springe, had been done by this treaty, with the i niiiglu addition of a little more money to be di-tri | b",e'1 "mong the chiefs. Mr. V. B. said he had not i a doubt in his mind, that tlie same application o! these -ame means might, at any time, have settled the controversy. What was the subject that pro duced all this excitement? What was the objec tion to the treaty of the Indian Bprmgs? it was made by an insufficient number of chiefs, and Mthotewna reason to smpecl that undue influence 'had been exercised. That there was not a suffi i dent number of Chiefs, was a matter of contesta ’ lion: on the subject of fraud, what were the evi dence.? On the face of the treaty, the United I S:,lte* gave to M’lntosh an unreasonable amount , of compensation. That was the length and bread'll ‘ j and depth of all the allegations ot fraud. Com | pare that with the treaty which was now about to ! bc <••'»■! ied into effect. It was staled In the report ‘ oi the Supetintcndcnt of Indian Affairs, that when • j the negotiation was opened between the War I)e ‘ j pnrtment and the Indiana, to extinguish their title to ' j *h*s lands, they refused to give all their lands within ;,bc of Georgia} they refused to go beyond llw , . —.vsscu,uiey .•-bw mew were | limited by their instructions, ami could not go ai y 1! f.irihcr. In the Document* communicated to Con 1 j gress, that fact was mated. The treaty had been I finally made to settle this controversy, Cohle-scdly ‘ without power on the part of the Indians to go as ; far as ,llf>y gone. Compare the Indian Springs treaty with that. The suspicion of undue iiiilu ’ ence in negotiating that treaty, Mr, V. U said, was founded on the unreasonable reservation to ■|M Imosli. Before the present treaty was con— j summated, the fact was communicated to the Go vernment, that a contrivance was on foot to reserve i ,u certain Chiefs, a large portion of the money to be paid for these lands. Hie proof on this subject was as had been stated. Mr, V. B. said, they must appear before the I’eople of the country with this fact before them, that, under the eye of this (iOvernment, the treaty had been negotiated in ; fraud. He did not slate the fact^ to impeach any , one, but to show the Senate the nigh responsibility that rested on them, to go as far a* possible to sup. I press the contemplated fraud, and entirely exijn. I plan, that the Government might be i protected from any future imputation of having had any hand in it. It was in that view he iiad said, and would repeat, and with that remark dismiss the subject; that the honor of the nation was con cerned.- Mr. V. B. said, he should not be willing to persist in the amendment of the Senate, to the loss of the bill; but would rather take the next best ; ,hin# ,hat offered, by taking the amendment of the ! Mouse, but would wish first to mane the attempt to Induce the House to cdopt the amendment of the Senate. To bring the subject more distinctly before the Senate, Mr. V. B. then offered a resolution foi the j Senate to insist on its amendment. • j Mr. Hatrlson said, the proposition of th« IIousp ’ not only comported with the treaty, but it met she D of'he Senate; <he onTf between I Ihe two propositions wax, that the one directed ! I'al the distributions should be made in the usual I l)roPorI>on to the chiefs aud warrior:?—the other, . t >at it should be made in the presence of the cmels and warriors—in presence of the great counci of t.ie nation. When this subject was first Detoie the Senate, and a confidential communica tor! wax made that such a fr .ud was in contempla tion, he was anxious that every measure should be r" to obtain justice. Mr. H. said he thought there was no better way than that of paying the o.nels ant. warriors in presence of the asssmhled nation. I he only error the Secretary of War had commuted, had arisen from his not being acquaint ed wuii the usual manner of conducting Indian business. Mi. II. said he regretted, after the de c|arat,o„ which the gentleman from New York, ( r- an Buren) had made of his confidence in the integrity of that officer, that he should say that some Stigma * ould remain on the Government un less something should be done *• clear the Govern ment of that stigma. Mr. H. could not conceive that such a thing was necessary. The People or he United States would accord with the opinion S,ven uy the gentleman from New York, in rela tion to the chaiacter of that officer, and the ar rangement of this affair; and though an error of judgment might be imputed to him, the nation would determine that it was an error of the head and not of the heart. No better mode could he devised to do justice to the individuals and to the Indian nation, than that proposed by the other I he government of the Indian tribe* in this coun-1 try, Mr. H. said, was r.ot well understood. It is I not the government of the chiefs. The chiefs *re tue diplomatic agents, authorized to make treaties, but the consequences of the treaty aie always pars ed in review before the assembled nation, and the nation is present in every instance, when the pro cctdH of the treaty arc paid. This secure* them from any possibility of imposition on the part of the Government, or of any collusion on the part of tlie chiefs. Mr. II. said he was not piesent du ring part ot the time-that the gentleman fiom New 1 oru was speaking. It might be possible lie had misunderstood the object of the amendment propos edby the committee; but there could he no possi ..ilitj of any error in this matter, it the proposition o! the House were adopted; the term* of the treaty would be strictly complied with, and the nation would be satisfied; because, when the money was paid in the presence ot the nation, there could be no fraud. Mr. II. objected to the term “ usual pro portion. It .might have been the practice to dis tribute in particular proportion, but the iliptribu lion always look place in a full council of the chiefs. If gentlemen cou'J show there was any possi bility that a fraud was likely to he committed in the course which had been pointed out by the House, or that there was any possibility ot a stigma attach ing to the Government in consequence of pursuing that course, he would accord with them. It ap peared < here was an injustice meditated; but by whom . Not by this Government. It was a mat ter o. indirierence to them to whom the money was paid. 1 heir olyect was to comply with the stipu lations of the treaty—to satisfy the State of Georgia and the Indians. That had been substantially done. In regard to the observation which had been made, j ot its compromitting the character of this Govern i ment> that they had made a treaty with the Indians extending the ccs-ions of the Indians beyond what j they knew the Indians were authorized to make, ; Mr. H. would say that such a thing was not un— j common, either with the Indians or diplomatists_ , It diplomatists entered into a negotiation which j they weie not strictly authorized to do by their i eminent, it was their own affair; and it depend ed afterwards on the acquiescence on the part of the ; Government who sent them. If the warriors and : remaining*chiefs would show to this Government tna* It was not t.Vir intention thus to extend the j ces*qpn, then, Mr. II. said, much as be valued tin's : treaty, and the good confluence, arising from it, I he thought the Government would he bound in bo 1 nor to do that which they would do if thev were ) treating with n civilized nation—to satisfy them | lor the farther cession, or to expunge this part ot I the treaty. When the compensation was about to ibe given to the chiefs assembled, if thev protested j against that part of the treaty. Mr. II. said, as a man who valued the reputation nights country, he should he one of those who would declare that par: of the treaty to be null and v oid, or rectify the Pr jror that hail been committed. What could tj,» Secretary of War do? On whom could he rely? ; He could resort to no book that could show him !11)0 l)Ulv«' t,,«» was given to the Indian chief* in | matters ot this kind. It varied amongst the Indi ans. Mr. li. concluded by expressing hi* ouinion ! ,1,a‘ ft w ouM be perfectly -nfe to follow the recom ; mendalion of the committee of the House of iUp l resent*lives. The money would be paid io those ) who were authorized to receive it, and the mode .in which it was io be paid, would be a snrfi , neat guarantee tiiat no fraud had been committed 1 on them. uo-.mcs, 01 ..lame, saij !1C phouU accede io tuc report of theCommittee of Conference. Thev recommended that the committee should heinstruct < d io insist on the amendment. If the proposition made was to recede iron# the aincndment. it would be in order to propose an amendment. If the Ken ale were to recede from th-ii amendment, and to propose nothing more then the bill would go to the House m* unamended, and they might pass it with ou- any amendment at all. The Senate could act on tlie bill, or on the report of the committee. As rewarded the two proposition* for the disttibii tion of the money- it would -ecmnt first view ,lia* there were two objections to the mode pointed out in the amendment of the Senate. How was j, ,0 be ascertained what was the usual proportion i„ nation.' 11 that could be asrert allied, it would seem to put it •out of their power to make any other dis - tribution. The amendment of the Hou-c pive-lhem that power. Mr. II. said he thought the *»fe,t way would be to have ilie distribution made by the nation. Kithrr the one or the oilier of the amend* meats ought to prevail, from the fact which had been disclosed. The better way would be lo take the amendment of the House and lo pa-s the bill in that way. If (ho agent paid i|,„ money to the as-embled nation, they would have il in their jk,w ej to decide which way they pjea.fd. It would gratify them more—it would please them better— that the money should he prdd to the chiefs and warriors assembled. If they are willing to make such an iniquitous distribution of their property we haven(jriKht , ompJ jn.b.|l |f u ^ that they will do so. It would he bcti*r, Mr I’ said to have it made in such a way as would iati-u fy them, and though he should vote for either a* tneudment. he thought it would he hatter to recede Mr. Kenton said, that, after the etplanatlon of he views of the committee of conference which had l can g,von hy the Senator from New York, fMr. Van Huron,) he would limit himself to astate u.e.u of facts on two or three points on which re ferenees hail been made t„ his personal knowledge, rim .Secretary of War had referred to him in AS the fart that the .Secretary had refused to give private «ra tuit.es to the Creek Chiefs to promote the success of the negotiation.

They were wil ling to agree to the line w here it was believed to be: and accordingly two points nanwd by a pr.it of the delegation from Georgia, as those which would include all the land in Georgia, were agreed upon, and inserted in the supplemental article. It wei intended to rede alt; it was believed iliai all was ce ed: the exact truth could not be known un'.ii the Ime was run. He considerd the unwiUingnes* ot the Indians to an unknown line, as natural :*tl reasonable, and if any mistake had occurred, there' was certainly no blame, on either ptriv. The Jn t lans agreed to the points indicated by gentlemen from Georgia, and these gentlemen to his persorJl knowledge, had expended great pains in consulting* maps and in referring to the knowledge of individu, j «ds to lix the points correcily. 1 The time at which .Mr. 13. had offered hi* servi ces to aid this negotiation, had appeared t» him la be eminently critical, and big with con.equcncot " t,IC . ''’a* a“^ious to avert. It was after tL« committee had rcsoly.-d to report against the new treaty, and before they had made the rejjrrt to tin? .Senate. Tne decision, whatsoever it might be* and the consequent discussions, criminations, ani3 j recriminations, were calculated to bring on a vio ! en| *^ruggle in the Senate itself; between tlieSomto and the Executive; perhaps between the two I oi e.c ( oi a rc.erence of the subject to bath would . have taken place,) anil between one or more hhatea | an'1 lhe * e<Jeral Government. Mr. B. had conruT red in the report against the new treaty, because 7t ; divested Georgia of vested rights; and, though ob* jectionab.e in mauy other respects, he was willing, | lor Uif of P«ce, to ratify it, provided ths vested rights of Georgia were not invaded The supplemental article had relieved him upon this point. He thought that Georgia bad no further came of dissoiisfaction with the treaty; it was Al i76o/, 10 that was inured by the loss of some miU lions of acres which she had required under the .reaty of IS.../, anil lost under that of 132(i. HeV : case commanded his regrets ar.d sympathy. Kim ! hail lost the right of jurisdiction over a conaidera > e extent of territory; and tiie advantages of iling, ctdnvaiing, and taxing the same, were porfi. | pono ' hopc.1, not indefinitely. But thes« i **«*oiueiinenti«f advantages, resulting from an. act which the Government was.not bound to do. : and though the loss of them was au injury, yd thft , injury could not be considered as a violation <rf vested rights; but the circumstance certainly m creased the strength ot her claim to the total extinc j ,,0n °*,hc In<lia" ‘fles within her limits; ai.d, ho i ru,,ed* 'yo!,*d have its due effect upon the Govern \ ,ne:it of (he United States.
