Mr. Judge the Seminole Agent, has thought
proper to drag me before the public as an unc,;on
TO heal his bleeding wounds, inflicted upon him
from another quarter, by the publication of Ger.
tlhcates signed by Indians. who could not read the
paper they signed. In this community where
am better known than Mr.. Judge, this strange and
unusual attack is harmless. but in Kentucky, where
Mr.. Judge may be better known than myself, and
where probably the "Fron,ier Whig" uaay find
its way, might be affected will, therefore, IN
reply to this SLY attack, state that have been
licensed trader in the Cherokee country, and am
now settling up my business. and have had some
trading Intercourse with the Seminoes, wherefore,
have come in collision with this gentleman. who,
1t IS VIGOROUSLY known throughout the Indian
country, Is in collusion with licensed trader in
the Creek country. with whom he lives, and bv
whom he "thrtues." Our difficulty grew out of
the fact that have some drafts upon the Seminole
indians, and Mr.. Judge has interposed his official
influence to prevent their payment, and to secure
the payment OF those upon his friend, the licensed
trader alluded to above. 1t grows out of the fact
that MIR. Judge an Agent of the Government who,
by the regulations Of the Depa rtrnent which EN-.
p!oys him, can have no dealings with the Indians
in his own name; but being welded to the inter.
est of one he has, spirit, violated the regulation
and outraged nv rights.


charge are about being made in n formal man
ner. to the proper Department. | will, therefore.
take my leave of him at this


JOHN BARNWELL.
