From the True American.
Treaty NTH the Chocfaws. "A treaty


not long since concluded by Gen. Jackson


and others, commissioners on the part Of
the United States, with the Choctaw Da-
ton of Indians, and, we learn, has been
subsequently ratified by the President and,
Senate, which, according to information
we have received from the Arkansas ter
ritory, threatens TO work great injustice
and oppression. The object of the treaty
is said to be (foY we have not seen it, the


removal Of the Choctaws from their lands
on this side ofthe Mississippi to U. S. lands
on the other side--and 1t is represented,
that the lands exchanged by the u. S. for
those Of the Choctaws are not only Of im-


meosely greater extent and value, but are


already inhabited by three or four thou


sand American Citizens, many Of whom


have pre-emption titles under The United


States, and have built and improved, and


are in comfortable and thriving condi-
tion, extending over nearly three counties,
and forming the most populous part OF the
| said territory. The u. S. Fort Smith, the


only military establishment in the terrific
ry, and all-important to its defence, mus.


also pass 10 the Choclaws. Further, land


is ceded to them which is now occupied
by several nations Of indians, for whom
we must pi<vide elsewhere; and other


land is given them which yet belongs to
Spain! Such are some of the effects which


it is said result from this treaty and


which must not only prove extremely op-


pressive to the settlers upon the ceded


tract, but injurious to the strength and


prosperity 0fthe territory. Such was the


alarm and dissatisfaction excited at Arkau-


sas by the treaty when it first reached


there, that Governor Miller immediately


despatched an express TO the seat Of Gov


ernment. with representation Of the evils


which must flow from its ratification bue


he did not reach Washington until week


or ten days after il had been ratified.


However desirable it may be to remove
the Choctaws from this to the other side Of
| the Mississippi, it ought not to be done at
4 the expense Of the safety and prosperity


of Arkansas nor Of the rights and interests


Of It's citizens. Perhaps, however, the


treaty as II has received the sanction OF


the President and Senate, may differ wide-
i ly from that which has been prematureiy
| circulated.


i Singular Adyeaturs.-Our readers
may recollect that We some time since
published an advertisement offering 100
dollars for information Of Captain Luther


Thustin. Engineer for the Schuy kill


Navigation Company, who left the works

Thustin arrived safe at bis own house on
the Susquebannah, in the state OF New
