PAPERS OF flRABEAU B ONAPARTE LA !AR
we urge the importance of his rem(}val, and the appointment of some good man as agent in whom all can confide, we believe that we ex- press the feelings of more than two thirds of the whole nation. We are confident by 6uch a change of offices, a formidable obstacle to our views of reconciliation would be removed. Brother. In conversation with you at Washington you promised to ·write us a letter, giving us information in regard to the money which will be coming to the Emigrated Party in Arkansaw-the letter bas not yet been recd. Our departure from this country ,vill be delayed for some weeks to come and in the mean time, should be glad to hear from you. No. 95_ 1830 Apr. 15, CREEK NATION TO G. :M. TROUP Cree Natin April 15-1830 'l'o the Honbl. Geo l\f Troup-Fl·ind & brother Enclosed is a copy of a letterH which we have sent to the secretay of War. The Mail is about clos- ing & we have but few minute to devote to this letter. Ou1· pros- 'peets at· present are not very flattering, for we believe a strong effort is making in the nation to reconcile the Indians to the present :A.gent, and if they succeed, we fear all hopes of his removal will be l(\st We desire his dismissal above all things. He will continue to be an obstacle to a reconciliation among our people. We think that during this summer a majority of the Indians here will be disposed to _emigrate, & would i.t not be well for Congress to make some ar- rangemts to hold a Treaty with them so soon as the consent of the majority is obtained. Let them 'before thir .adjourmt make the ap- propriation in anticipation of the event, If the Agent was removed, a Treaty could be held with them very shortly. On the 7th inst. at the Council, a partizan [ 1) of Col. Crowell, by the name of Doyle made the following remarks to the Chief . He said that be did not belong to the white people-that he had lived a long time with the Indians-was their friend. Genl. Jackson he said was a bad man, & was very old & would very shortly die and then the Indians ,vould not have to leave their Country-some good man would he elected president who would protect th.em. He advised them not to give up their Country-It i by such like man in the nation, that the views of Governmt are defeated, & the Indians kept blind to their inter- ests. We wish you to get the sec. of war to write the letter to us which he promised on the subject of of [sic] stipend. . Perhaps we shall write you again before you leave Washington- [Endorsed]
