Foolish as was the project of de- pesmg King Onopa, he entertained it seriously. He had resolved to .carry it into execution; and as far .as decrees went, he did so without further delay. " Omatla! you have been faithful to your word and your honour ; you are worthy to head a brave nation. From this time forth, you are King .of the Seminoles. Our Great Fu- rther, and the people of the United States hail you as suchâ€"they will acknowledge no other. Nowâ€"«let the signing proceed.’ At a gesture from the commis- sioner, Omatla stepped forward to the table. and taking the pen in his .hand, wrote his, name upon the ,parchment, ' ‘ The act was done in perfect si- lence. But one voice broke the deep stillnessâ€"one word only was heard uttered with angry aspirate ; (it was the word ‘ traitor.’ , I looked round to discover who had pronounced it; the hiss was still quivering on the lips‘of Oceola ;' while his eye was fixed on Omaila with a glance of ineffable scorn. ‘ Black'Crazy Clay,’ lletxl took the pen, and affixed his signature, which was done by simply making his ‘ mark.’ ' After him followed Ohala, Ito- lasse 'Omatla. and about a dozenâ€"â€" all of whom were known as the chiefs that favored the scheme of removal. The hostile chiefsâ€"whether by accident or design I know notâ€"â€" .stood together, forming the left wing of the semicircle. Itwas now their turn to declare themselves. “Hoitle-mattee was the first about whose signing the commissioner eii- tortained any doubt. There was a pause, significant of apprehension. ‘ It is your turn, Jumper,’ said the datter at length, addressing the chief by his English name. . ‘You may jump me then,’ said the eloquent and "Witty , chief ' mak- ing a jest of what he meant for: .earnest as well. i ' How? you refuse to sign 'l’ ' Hoitle-mattee does not write.’ .‘It is not necessary, your name is: already written; you have only to place your finger upon it.’ 3-‘I might put my finger in the wrong place.’ V a . ‘ You can sign by making a cross,’ continued the agent, still in hopes that the chief Would consent.
