We find in the Washington City papers, extracts from the proceedings of the Senate last winter, when this treaty was under consideration. It appears that the Journal of the commissioners who made the treaty was laid before the Senate. This Journal states that the chiefs in the first instance attended, and when the United States interpreter found a treaty would be made, he ordered at midnight a great number of the chiefs to leave the place where the treaty was held. Col. Crowell, the agent, also wrote to the Secretary of War, and his letter was laid before the Senate when that body had, under consideration the treaty. Having a full view of the subject, the Senate, 38 to 4, advised the ratification.
The last Georgia papers state Gen. Gaines had considered these Indians opposed to the treaty to have come into measures, and the treaty will quietly be acquiesced in. Justice and truth may therefore be said to have at least succeeded.
