| AUIMJSffAI I SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1830. 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-. ft T^eMny a Siidu',BlmitrKß View oWntr-ntnrnrsr 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 s rcrticer. 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. The Messrs. Harper’s have just published another Novel, entitled “ The English at Home.” | by tlie author of “Tho English in Italy” & ‘ Tho ■ j English in France.” Newspaper Thief ~-Williard Curtis was last i week tried at the Police Conn, for stealing from 1 the doors of subscribers, a copy of tin.
