M “Be just, and fear nol."
M Military mo cement. —About sixty of the Sol-
M diers at ilia U. S. Arsenal, near this place—bc
m ing all the healthy and able-bodied men lately
M stationed there—left that post on Wednesday
H last, fur the Western frontier, under the com
|l mand of Captain Gardiner, and Lieutenants
Fowler and Chambers, in consequence of a
late order to that effect, from the War Depart
ment. The object of this movement is, we
presume, to strengthen the force already occu
pied in the Indian country, in preventing hostili
ties, and intrusions upon the turntory and the
gold mines.
Jt stated that during the trial, conviction,
and sentence of John F. Knapp, he appeared
tiniforrnly the most unconcerned individual in
the Court Room. When asked what he had to
■Say why sentence should not be passed on him,
lie replied, with energy and firmness: “I have
‘only to say, that I am innocent oflhe charge—and
il I how declare to the world, thatl shall die inno-
I cent of the crime for 'which I am to suffer.”—
S Judge Putnam, in pronouncing sentence, was
JH so much affected us to sub audibly, and all around
ijft, wore,, inswh ■movmL- vet .the prisoner mani
feSrol a total indifference. —The trials of Joseph
I J. Knapp, jr. and Geo. CroWninshicld are post-
I poned to next term, November!!.
Indian Affairs. —It will be recollected that
I we, sometime ago, expressed our disapprobation
<■ of the measure adopted to prevent the Indians
isl from digging gold on the lands in their posses-
I sion, under the impression that it was a perma
ncut one, and the principle involved in it, to bo
I considered us settled. We are gratified to find,
I however, by an article which wo copy to day
9 from the Richmond Enquirer, that that measure
is only temporary, adopted for the present, as pa-
IB cificatory, and till the President had “lime to
■ weigh the pretensions of Georgia, and decide
■ upon the best course which ihe emergency rc
m quired. ”
I Wo lind it stated in several papers, that John
M Ross, the principal chief of the Chcrokees, late
ly ly went to Cliarleston to consult Judge John
l* ston, on the subject of bringing the pretensions
of the Indians before the Supreme Court; and,
W that if ho did qut obtain satisfactory inturmation
Jm in that quarter, ho would go on to Judge Mab
-9 shall. Whether or not ho in the
® first distance, we know not, but hufwMit no far
* thcr than Charleston, and passed through tins
i m city on his return, a few days ago. We con-
NaßPversed with him on various subjects connected
Iff with Indian affairs, and found him modest, tm
m assuming, and intelligent; relying, however,
'1 much on those erroneous opinions which con
i l| Juund the right of jurisdiction and right of soil,
' «rf nc * the powers of the Federal and Sjtatc Gov-
ISrrnmenls. lie anticipates that the Indian ques-
Brion will bo brought before the U. rs. District
by a refusal to comply with the operation
1 w Vn State laws, or an appeal to il from the Stale
IjJ un ,( that it will be carried from there
to Court. ,Wo. jmUinuKMu-.

and he seemed to bo sensible that there would
be no little difficulty in getting beyond the State
jurisdiction. We presume he is entirely a white
Allan, having not the slightest tincture of Indian
manners or appearance, and in fact bearing pro
bably as strong a contrast to the Indian, as is to
«, be found in the features, complcxiofl, expression,
(form, or stature of the white man. We under
stand, too, that he was formerly a citizen of this
Stale, and a resident of Columbia county,
j At his request, we shall lay before our renders,
I .as early ns wo can find room for it, the "Address
/ of the Committee and Council of the Cherokee
f Nation, to the people oflhe United Sfutes.” He
offered to pay us for its insertion as an adverlise
| anont, which we declined, having no objection
I ' to comply with the reasonable desire for iti
/ publication, when the current news, and the lim
its of our paper, will permit us to do so.
While we decidedly disapprove of the loiter
I of Mr. Wirt to Gov. Cilmer, we cannot by any
means approve the style of the Governor’s reply,
i Mr. Wirt’s letter, to use his own words, is “of
, ficiotis and intrusive;” and when considered in
! the light of a counsellor gratuitously pleading the
cause of his client, out of court, to the opposite
party, and not only attacking, of course, the
cause of the person he is addressing, but en
deavoring to justify himself in pursuing the or
dinary practice of an Attorney, and lauding the
court before which ho wishes to introduce the
■ cause, it is not only most strange and prepostcr
j ous, but supremely ridiculous! If ho has done
no more than the ordinary duty of a counsellor,
why should he do so much injustice to the high
s' ly honorable profession of which he is a member,
ns to admit that that duty requires defence, ex
planation, or justification ? and if the Supremo
I Court really deserves the higb-euiognuir he has
bestowed on it, docs he not place its character
somewhat in jeopardy, by gratuitously undertak
ing its di/cncc against what has nol becnalledg
ud against it? Is it not humiliating to our nation
al pride, that the Supreme Judiciary of our
country, should seem to require such a defence?
mid that a counsellor, desirous of bringing be
fore it Uie cause ol his client, should deem it no
, j Ccssary or proper, to recommend it to the con
i' 1 fidcncc of the opposite party, by a labored eulo-
I gy on its impartiality, intelligence, justice, &c.
I Ate?
I But make the worst you can of the letter of
Mr. Wirt, can its impropriety, or even, as the
Georgia Journal stylos it, its “unparrallclod im
pudence,” justify the high tempered and scorch
ing sarcasms of the Governor? Should not the
language of'an individual occupying the high
station of chief magistrate of the State, be, on
all occasions, wholly calm and —firm,
manly, independent, and decisive; but temperate
■ and passionless as the spirit of Justice? And if
■ the letter of Mr. Wirt required a rebuke—and
■we think it did—is there not, properly, a striking
■ difference between the rebuke of a distinguish-
Jcd civil officer, and that of a private indi
■vjdual? and should not -the febuke in question,
«■ fcave evinced more of tho office than the man?
j We can readily account for the honest warmth
, of u Mgluompered, ingenuous, and plain-dealing
man hke Governor Gilmer. But the best-of
feelmgs, when swayed by temper, will often
lead a man in a high and responsible office, wi
dest. astray;>nnd though wemay appreciate ihe
feelings oi tho man, we cannot approve the error
of the officer. But Governor Gilmer has, un
fortunately, a recent and popular precedent in
Ins favor; and though some may think the great
est enemies of a distinguished public officer, are
they who flatter his official foibles, tho stylo ol
his letter will not bo without its numerous ad
vocates, among those who rank us his friends.
The editor ol the Sumptervillo Gazette is in
error, in supposing that this State will join South
Carolina in the prosecution of the ultra mea
sures advocated by tho latter; and if his readers
agree with him in opinion, it is proper that he
should undeceive them as speedily as possible.
M hatever might have been tho views of a port ion
of the people of this State, with regard to the
adoption, of more decisive measures, previous
to the late retrogadc movements of the Tariff, I
in Congress, and the President’s veto, they have !
since determined, one and all, to seek redress
through that mode winch now promises ihe
utmost success—a consummillion which they
believe can be delayed or averted only by those
unpopular measures, on the part of Carolina,
. which may tend to prejudice ihe ". lade cause.
And oven though “the Georgia Journal, tho
most influential paper in the State, advocates
nullification doctrines occasionally;” and though
all the others were to do so likewise, they could
make no other impression on Ihe judgment and
good sense of the people.
It is much to be feared, that the present mea
sures of S. Carolina may ultimately prove a
serious injury to the common cause. If any
thing can saddle the Tariff on us effectually,
they will; and we say this with somewhat of
melancholy foreboding. Already are tho oppo
nents and advocates of tho Tariff, (imprudently
on tho part of the former) fighting side by side
against tho Carolina measures, and thus forget
ting, in t-is unity of action, their natural opposi
tion, And when those measures shall ultimate*
ly fail—which they will do as certainly as that they
are now gradually and fastly on the wane—it
is greatly to be feared, that the advocates of the
Tariff, and even the great body of the people,
after opposing and conquering those measures,
will think they have conquered the opposition to
the Tariff, and yield to il accordingly. Already
is the unpopularity of ihe Carolina movements
attaching ilselfto the common cause of opposition
to tlie Tariff; a fact which should arouso the Anti-
Tariffites to a sense of the danger of neglecting
their truo object, to chime in with their natural
opponents. Let the Carolina measures alone—
they will assuredly fall of themselves—and it is
sufficient for ua that wo disapprove of them.
Instead of opposing them, we should direct our
opposition against the Tariff, by every argument
that can enlighten the people on tho subject of
its impolicy, injustice, and oppression.
Though we differ from Mr. M’DurnE, Gen.
Hayne, Maj. Hamilton, and others, in the policy
advocated by those gentlemen, we do so with
all due respect for their exalted talents and
true patriotism. That they are greatly in error
-—a •■"• n .Vr’]was-YTorri,.i n-.Wir
ever, in the calumnies uttered against the purity
of their motives; nor do wo believe any one
does, who knows their great private worth, and
has followed them through their highly distin- j
guished and useful career for several years past, '
11 they are too violent and impolitic, in the mea
sures urged at this particular juncture, when
the grievances they oppose have begun to wear
a loss dangerous and unyielding aspect, some
allowance should be made for the feelings of
higlimindud and patriotic men, standing in the
front rank of opposition to unjust and oppressive
exactions, and long goaded and taunted on the
floor of Congress, by the advocates of the Tariff.
How supremely ridiculous it is, for tho ad
vocates of tho Tariff, to talk of running Mr.
Drayton as a candidate for the Vino Presidency,
1 on tlie same Ticket with Mr. Clay!!! Does
not this fully dovelopo, that a subtle policy is at
work among thctii, to break down ihe old land
marks of opposition to the Tariff by flattering,
and commingling with, those of their opponents
who are opposed to tho Carolina measures?
And can they believe tlm their inflexible oppo
nent, Mr. Drayton, or those who think with him,
1 cun be deceived by such a weak device, and j
! bought over by their shallow and worthless flat
-1 terics? As well might they expect oil and
I water to commingle, as for Mr. Drayton to co
■ alescc with Mr. Clayl And we trust that those
who agree with him on the subject of the Caroli
i na measures, and the Tariff, will bear in mind, ;
i that opposition to tho former, is not advocacy of I
• the latter, and does not require that they should |
i rank themselves, either directly or indirectly, 1
. with their natural opponents; who now smile
■ but to deceive. If any think that Mr. Drayton ]
, differs from Mr. M'Duffie, Gen. Hayne, and ]
• others, with whom he has so long acted in con
> eort, in ought else than the present mode and
t policy of action, in opposition to the Tariff, they
r most cgrcgiously deceive themselves. That
- higlimindud patriot, and inflexible opponent of
- the TarilT, would ns soon be found directly abet
- ting his country’s ruin, as doing so indirectly, by
r identifying himself and his cause, with that of
? Mr. Clay, and his subtle scheme of sclf-aggran
. dizernont and oppression, misnamed the “Ameri
. cSh System.”
Let those whose own goodness of heart de
ceives them into the belief that no fellow-being
‘ | could be guilty of the monstrous crime allcdged
| against Burritt, read the following:
f ■ Yesterday, through tho vigilance of tlie Mayor,
3 MILO MOWER, late editor of a paper entitled
“The Liboralist,” published in this city, was ar
rested and committed to prison, charged with
having printed and published, in contravention of
3 an enactment passed at the lust session of the
ii Legislature, a seditious and inflamatory circular,
addressed to the free people of color in Now-
II Orleans. The object of this address is the rc-cs
> tablishment of the Liberahst, which was discon
o turned some time ago for the want of patronage,
,p and which this Northern enthusiast thinks again
to revive by appealing to the feelings and pas
“ sions of a particular class of our population, who
g we trust have too much good sense and prudence
i- to become the tools of a designing reformer.
■_ To Milo Mower and his coadjutors they have to
attribute the coercivo'nieasures adopted by our
h Legislature at their last silling. —Louisiana Ad

ol title anwftr
Although Seaton Grantland has lot abused
General Jackson to tho same extent in the Re
corder as in tho Journal, (a file of which we have
not yet been able to obtain,) yet sufficiently so,
even there, to prove his glaring inconsistency,
and tho falsity of his late declaration, that he
“ used argument, not abuse.” The Statesman
A. Patriot, of the 13th June, 1821), for which we
are indebted to the polite attention of a friend,
contains an article, commenting on the inconsis*
tcncy of the Recorder, and giving extracts from
that paper, from which we select a few, ns fol
lows. Let the reader judge for himself wheth
er they contain argument or abuse, or whether
the. abuse is in the slightest degree sustained,
or attempted to be sustained, by argument;
From the Southern Recorder, of 1824.
J une B.—“ Meetings in favor of Gen. Jackson
lor President have been held in some of the
counties ol Alabama. Is nol this an evidence,
that there are in tho world people so tamo as to
be ready to kiss the rod that chastises them?”
An,trust 3.—Wo could not have believed, un
til tho last session of tho Legislature, that any
Georgian could be found, who would have
■ avowed a preference for Jackson. Surely no
) Georg ia n who feels the spirit of a Georgian—
i who has not given himself up as tlie blind fol
lower of Gen. Cluik, can entertain love for the
person, admiration of the character of Jackson,
or gratitude for any servioes rendered by him to
Georgia.—
Wo find, however, we have been mistaken—
Bozeman, Fort, and Watson, are all uvowcdlv
for Jackson.”
October 12.—The contest, however, for
seats in the S*talo Legislature has boon more
warm, and in Baldwin, Jones, and a few other
comities, the Clarkites with tlie “Jackson Tick
et,” have prevailed.
October 19. —War, bloody war! seems to bo
the subject of his thoughts by day, and of Ids
dreams by night!—No one will doubt that ho
possesses one qualification, according to his own
ideas, of a Presidcnl—lie can look unmoved up
on a scone of “blood and carnage.” From the
elevation of such an individual wo should trem
ble, if not for the liberties, at least for the peace
of the country.— Com.
January I?.—A writer in the National Jour
nal speaks of General Jackson’s-adherents ns a
“thoughtless, enthusiastic, and noisy throng who
alternately deafen our ears with the shouts of
expected victory, and appal our hearts with the
throats of vengeance—who, unmindful of the
fundamental principle of onr government, amt
either ignorant or reckless oflhe many disastrous
lessons taught us by the history of ancient Re
publics, seek to raise to the helm of State a mili
tary chieftain, whose high fame is purely acci
dental, whose popularity is more the result oflhe
feelings than of judgment, and who has shown
himself, in more than one instance, totally regard
less of the solemn immunities and sanctions of
tho law.”
When we procure afilo oftho Journal, (which,
if not afraid qf the full develupomcnt of the
truth, he would offer to us himself) wo will
»hew forth the full extent of his Inconsistency
Mid outrageous abuse of General Jackson, in
their truo colore.
FOR THE CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISER.
As it is to tho w clfaro of the citizen,
for him to bo informed of the law of the land in
which ho lives; so in all cases whore tho law is
uncertain, the uncertainty should ho brought to
public view, in order that the proper remedy
may bn applied. In looking over the Penal Code
of Georgia, I find (at pages 365 and 380, of
Fringe’s Digest,) that “ if any person shall in
termarry, within tho degrees of consanguinity ns
established by
ment in the common jail, at the discretion of the
court.”
No person can doubt the' propriety of a law
jon this subject; hut our Legislature has not es
tablished the degrees of consanguinity, and I can
find no statute on the subject, in Schley’s Digest
of the English Statutes of force in this State.—
Now, in this slate of uncertainty, a person may
commit the offence (ignorantly) and bo piiuisli
cd; or, ou the oilier band, a law, (good and
proper when considered with reference to the
intention of ihe law-makers,) is inoperative, be
cause it is uncertain.
There were several Statutes of force in Eng
land, in relation to the degrees of consanguinity,
on the 14th of May, 1776—and all tho statute
laws of England, that were usually offeree in
this State, tip to that time, were made binding
by the act of otir Legislature, passed 83th Feb
ruary, 1784; but these Statutes arc not binding
1 in Georgia, or they would ho found in Schley’s
i Digest. I am satisfied of this, because I enter
tain great respool for Ihe opinion and research
of Judge Schley, and also for tho opinion of the
Committee appointed to examine his compila
j tion, who approved of it. Isl he wrong in my
views, I trust I shall ho corrected ; if rigid, the
Legislature should take the matter into consider
ation. ‘ L. M.

who has devoted much time to the exam
ination and comparison of the different
enactments of each succeeding session
o. the Legislature, lobe acquainted with
all the laws which are of force : And
having witnessed with much pleasure,
the immense public utility and populari
ty °f the Digest compiled by Oi.ivur 11.
Piuncr, Esq., mid also having no doubt
bat a similar Compendium of the Laws
from the time of that publication dotvn
to the present, with the addition of the
precedents, or forms, which will he plac
ed in the Appendix, and which will add
greatly to the public utility of tlic work,
and to tlic furtherance of justice, would
lie very useful and acceptable to the pub
lic, the Compiler has ventured upon the
arduous and important undertaking.—
However, not relying altogether on Ids
own judgement, or the experience of lmv r
ing been a member of the Legislature
during the passage of most of the laws
now proposed to be published, and at the
administration ofthem foreight years, us
a Justice oftlie Inferior Court, in u Conn
ty where much business of an intricate
nature is transacted in that Court and
tlie Court of Ordinary ; alter complet
ing the manuscript it lias been placed in
the hands of gentlemen, eminently learn
ed in the law, who, after u strict and
careful examination, have politely ten
dered to him the subjoined CERTIFI
CATES :
I liavo cxaininnil “A Digest of ilia laws of
Oeorgia from IsjJO to 1829, inclusive, by A.
Foster, Esq.” and think the work executed
AV.illi judgment mid accuracy. The work is in
tended as ncontinuation of Prince’s Digest, and
is, m my opinion, well calculated to answer that
valuable purpose. is not
much care, examination, and study, to his ad
vantages as a practical legislator, during most of

I have attentively examined a Digest of the
laws of Georgia, from 18S0 to 18SD, inclusive;
and from the examination, fool authorized in stat
ing, that the work is executed vvilji much judge
ment untl accuracy, by A. Foster, Esq. of Co
lumbia County. I have no doubt the work will
prove valuable to every citizen who feels desi
rous to become informed of the Statutes now of
force in the Slate, and xvould recommend all
Justices of the Inferior Court, Justices of the
Peace, Clerks, Sheriff's, &c. to possess them
selves of tho work so soon as published.

Sir: — As far as I have yet had an opportunity
of examining the manuscript copy of your “Ih
gtsl oj'llw hues of the State oj' Georgia, ” 1 high
ly approve both of its execution and its plan.—
TI e volume cannot fail to answer well the pur
pose fur which it was designed.—ln the appen
dix there are a number of jireceilenls or forms,
which appear to have been modeled with accu
racy, and in strict conformity to tho digested sta
tutes from which they wore drawn; and, without
doubt, will add much to the value and usefulness
of the work, us a moan (in the hands of Justices
oftlic Peace, Justices of the Inferior Courts,

and others,) “in carrying the above named laws
into effect'’ with greater facility.
