146 CARROLL COUNTY. 



gratefully impressed with the important services of the Hon. 

 Duncan G. Campbell and James Merriwether in obtaining the 

 late cession of lands from the Creek nation of Indians, and that 

 their confidence remains unimpaired in the honour, upright- 

 ness, and integrity of those gentlemen. That the General As- 

 sembly, representing the feelings and wishes of the good citi- 

 zens of this State, do not hesitate in saying, that they conceive 

 that the treaty contains in itself intrinsic evidence of its own 

 fairness, in the liberal and extended provisions which it con- 

 tains for the removal, preservation, and perpetuity of the Creek 

 nation. Such treaty, so beneficial to the United States, the 

 State of Georgia, and the Indians themselves, having been ne- 

 gotiated under circumstances requiring the most devoted zeal, 

 persevering industry and firmness, we pronounce upon the 

 conduct of the commissioners our most cordial approbation, 

 and that a copy thereof be transmitted to each of said commis- 

 sioners, and also a copy to our senators and representa- 

 tives in Congress." Mr. Campbell was of middle height, 

 thick stature, and light complexion. He died on the 31st of 

 July, 1828.
