Tho Legislature of North Carolina foot on the 15th instant; when David F. Caldwell, of Salisbury, was elected Speaker of the Senate, and Charles Fisher, of Salisbury, Speaker of the 11. of Commons. The Indian Question. —There appears to he I a strong disposition oil the part of the. Legisla ture, which is with difficulty restrained by the wore temperate and prudent efforts of a few leading members, to take immediate possession of our Indian teiritory, and allot to the Indian occupants, a small portion of land to each fami ly. Wo regret to aco such a disposition exist, and trust that it will ho entirely eradicated by the arguments of those opposed to it, believing as we do, (hat it is neither sanctioned by reason ■or justice, nor in accordance vviili the wishes of the people.—Wo cannot agree with tho opinion of our neighbor of the Constitutionalist, hovve». or it may ho sanctioned by Vattel, or any one else, that the Slate has tho right to take from the Indians, by force, any part of their land. But tho language of Vattel, us cited by the Consti tutionalist, that “tribes of wild people incapable ‘ of populating a whole country,” “cannot appro ’ i, to themselves more land than they have occasion for, and which they arc unable to sel flMoand cultivate,” dues not sanction any such doctrine; unless the editor can shew that the f Slate, itself, is in absolute want of the land, and SHSp'capablo of populating the whole country.** Th* djlfeeditor remarks, in following up tho doctrine of , , Vattel, “the Indians continue to hold more land * to Georgia than “they can settle and cultivate,” 4 when the territory is made necessary to the people of Georgia, for the purpose o I agriculture, ! ©r when the welfare of the State and the increase ' es its revenue make it necessary—Georgians au I independent and Sovereign Stale, possesses ,ithe right, according to fixed usages, to contract .the limits of the Indians still more nanowly fwAround them.” Now, admitting, for the sake 1 -of argument, that Georgia possesses this right, ' iundortho “necessities” which the Constitutional jjF iiit mentions, has she the same right without those jiccessitios? and can it shew that those necessi- V lies now exist, oven in the slight - st degree? We ,”*Liink not. Is “tho territory made necessary Ao the people of Georgia, for the purpose of ap * ticultvre?" Certainly not; so far from it. the • of Georgia have already too much land /r jjr the purpose of agriculture—far more than . they can cultivate—and had they much less, they would cultivate it to far more usefulness ■ grid profit, both to themselves and to tho State, •rite groat quantity they possess, prevents them (Jrom industriously searching out the various in trinsic virtues and extensive capabilities which lie hid beneath its surface; alld, ungratefully re gardless of nourishing the bosom which supports them, they go on from year to year, drawing Ibrth its abundant fruits, without making tho Slightest return; and see it gradually impov e rish * cd, and at last laid entirely waste and useless, H with,no ether thought, than that plenty more is i to bo obtained, for little or nothing, from the WOt Indians. This, fostered as it has been by the government, through that scandalous, sutci | dal policy, the Lottery system, has lone been a consuming curse to bur laud —an insatiate vain | pive, continually sucking the very life-blood of jay die State, and at the same time flapping its i brings ov er its wretched victim, and lulling it I into dreams of “more land,” “more land”— yjj “more land fir nothingl" >m Let the experienced agriculturist, or generous p philanthropist, look abioad i - our State,.and bosom will throb with - ' ii the dread- JL’. waste and desolation p; e; .r. - . Ito Ids aston ished eye—a beautiful and fruitful country con verted, in a few years, into a barren wilderness —and the vast and, with but little provident care, cxhaustlcss bounties of a kind and indul gent Providence, wasted and destroyed with ': a prodigal and thankless hand, and thrown f heedlessly away to perish. He will look upon ; the numerous past habitations of men, scattered I* over the whole country, and now in heaps of t mins—the once cultivated and flourishing, but l now herbless fields—and the little desolate spots, “Where oaec the gardens smil'il, Aii'l #lill, where. many u garden dower grows wild,” • with their wicker forces rotting and tumbling r around “The lew torn shrubs that now the place disclose"— - and wonder if it can he possible, that man, civil . ir.cd and Christian man, has thus passed over the ■ i land like a swarm of Locusts, or a blasting Siroc j co, leaving no traces of his progress, but the dreadful desolation which regularly marks it from ‘ one settlement to another. WKo can look upon such scenes—the natural consequences of too much (and—and not wonder i at that infatuated folly, that suicidal policy . which still cries out “more land, more land,” : as though wo woro closely hummed in within a small and densely populated region. 1 Du “the Welfare of the State snd the increase : of its revenue make it necessary” that we should posses slhe Indian land ? No—“the wcl-, fare of the Slate,” as xvc have partly shown above, is decidedly opposed to it; and assuredly, with a large fund, which till lately lay idle in the treasury, and Were far better so now than devoted to its present illegitimate purpose, an “increase of its revenue” is not necessary.— But to return to its connection with “the welfare of the State," and the right which the Stale has, to lake possession of it. Though there is no doubt of tho right of the State to extend its ju risdiction over the Indians, it assuredly has no right to lake possession of the sail. The right of jurisdiction and right of soil, which ate olien much confounded, are two very different and distinct things—the latter by no means connect ed W'ith or involved ra the former. Tho Stale assumes over the Indians, by virtue of conquest, the same rights that were formerly possessed or . assumed by Great Britain. What rights were those ? Tho rights of jurisdiction and pre-emp tion. C. Britain never assumed the right, even it'she exorcised the power, of taking the Indian land by mere force. And where is an instance of a nation assuming the right of soil, and dislodging the occupants, by virtue of con quest! It is true the Stale of Georgia has bought and paid for the right of soil; hut to whom/— lll* rightful owners and occupants, the Indians! No—the General Government; which, for a consideration, which it has long ago receiv ed, entered into a contract with Georgia, to purchase the land from the Indians, as soon as il could reasonably he done, and give her posses sion of it, This it has not done, tho* every thing like a reasonable timo lias expired; and ihe claim of Georgia is consequently on the 1 Genera! Government, nut on the Indians Sup pose A agrees with B. that, for a certain con sideration, which is paid down, liq, will pur chase C's House and lot, as soon as it can rea sonably be done, and put him in possession of it—that A neglects to do bo, till at last C positively refuses to sell—and that ho cannot, therefore, comply with his contract to ll—will this give 1! any right over C—the right, for instance, to take forcible possession of his House and lot ? Or, is not his only claim one against A, for damages, for non compliance with his contract? Ifihis.be answered in tho affirmative, as wo presume it must he, the claim of Georgia is clearly of like nature, and in like manner, a gainst tho U. Stales, and not against the lodines. And now, agaip, for “tho welfare of tho , Slate," which we are decidedly of opinion, as we urged several years ago, would be hi® sub served by letting the Indians slay where they arc, but entirely under the jurisdiction of „pr laws. Tho Stale needs population more than land, which is already much the larger, accor ding to a due proportion. What benefit can ij derive from courting its present population from one part of its territorj - to another—not increas ing the number thereby, hut greatly impoverish ing,yea almost ruining,the part thus depopulated, and keeping its inhabitants in a restless, unset tled, and dissatisfied state—averse to making any permanent improvement of their habitations 1 or their lands, and permitting both logo to ruin, alike regardless, in great degree, of them, and ' the interest and welfare of the country around. —ln passing through much of the interior ofthe Stale, so long ago a* tho summer of 1829, we met with a number of planters, many of them wealthy, intelligent, and well settled, with 1 all the comforts, and a large portion of the luxu ’ j r es. of life around them, who declared if their ' j decided determination to move altogether to the j Cherokee territory, as early as it was ceded and 1 I organized; and some of them had already been ’ | over the territory, and selected spots to settle 1 j on, as soon as they could be purchased. ’ j Can such things be; without producing, as (buy ' j already liavo done, the most serious conseqdon ' i ccs to the settled sections of the State ? And is ‘ i it not wonderful, that cur legislators should so ; long have been unaware or unmindful of those ' j consequences, and made no chart whatever to ' prevent them ? But their eyes have been di ' ; reeled, almost immovably, to the West, till it | would seem that they have no capabilitjjDf with | drawing them for a moment, Or of conceiving ‘ | that a large portion ofthe State arid its interests, " ' are neglected, and almost uuthought of, behind them. 5 1 Why cannot the Indians, since they are so 1 averse to remove, ho incorporated with our po " I pulalion, as citizens, subject to bur laws; ahd r« J gelations be made to divide tboir land among 5 1 them individually, according their respective 1 , claims ? We do net believe this would be so " consistent with their interest, as for them to re ' I move to tho West, for '.ho reasons we Lave hero - . . toforo given; hut since they must of necessity i submit to the one or the other, anil do determine - positively against the latter, why Should their . will ho forcibly opposed, when to do so is i against the interest of the State 1 1 It may be said that they would be a troublesome i population—and no doubt they would, fora time; I hut not long, as their growing acquaintance Willi t our laws, and increasing intelligence, by moans t of education, carefully directed among them , ‘be government, together with the settle ment among them, of many of our citizens, who would purchase the lands of those (and there would he many such) who when left to their own will would emigrate to tint West, — would soon assimilate their manners, habits, and views, to those of our white population. But the Lottery ! we should have no Lottery! no means of acquiring land for nothing, and tho pleasure of soon making it, like that wo leave, good for nothing 1 Well, if tho people must needs have lottery, let the State gamble off, mi that way., tho money which it would of course receive from the General G overmen!, as an equiv alent for tho land. Wo presume they would he as well satisfied with the money as the laud; and wc should thus avert the continuance of one direful consequence ® the Lottery system.— What was, at first, tho ostensible object of the Lottery system? To populate the now territory, by distributing it in small portions among indi viduals who Would bo likely to settle on it, and thus prevent its being monopolized by land spe culators. But the individuals who, as fortunate drawers, obtain tho land and settle on it, are al ready citizens of the State; and where is tho benefitofpopulating one section of it at tho ex pense of another ? The object should have been to draw population from other Stales. But how could this bo done! Why, by selling the land in small quantities,like tho present,at very low pri ces, and on such credits as would make tho payments as easy as possible, to any persons, whether of this State or any other, who would , hind themselves to settle thereon—permistmg no one to purchase for tho purpose of speculation, and giving every possible encouragement, con sistent with justice to our own citizens, to emi grants from other Slates. It is useless, how ever, to speak, now, of the evil which is done; but one would suppose, that a wise and virtu ous legislator, fully sensible of that evil, as all must be, would scarcely lend his influence to a continuation of it for the future. And is there Rene among them all, who conscientiously be ] lieving it to ho wrong, has sufficient indepen dence and moral-courage to oppose it ? But, apart from tho foregoing considerations, a duo respect for the President and his adminis tration, who have boon, and still are, making every possible ofl’ort towards the accomplish ' moot of our wishes, together with a prudent and wise avoidance of every unnecessary cause of collision with tho General Government, should convince the Legislature of the strong proprie ty, at the present critical moment, of exercising the utmost moderation anil Ibrhearance; recom mended, also,as they are, by tho Executive of tho State. It will never he too late to act—it may be too late to correct tho serious errors of pro mature action. FOR THE CHRONICLE AMI AUVEUTISER. Mr. Pemberton; —Our Legislators arc severe ly censured, hy the Constitutionalist, because they have introduced pacific Resolutions! Such procedure, it is, in effect, stated, will indirectly affect the feelings of our “sister” South Caro lina! According to this doctrine, the practice ol virtue is exceptionable, and uacourteous, because it tacitly reflects censure on tho vicious! Wo, the people, highly esteem onr “sister,” and sincerely lament her morbid state of health; and fear that the amputation of her mortified members will he essential to the preservation ofher vitals! Our author denies the entity of faction in South Carolina; but sir, this assertion is untenable; for, three days ago, a number of Carolinians, at my house, declared publicly, shat j if the military force, ofthe advocates of nullifica tion, should ultimately prove inefficient, the co operation of England would be attainable. The peaceful Legislators, who vindicate tlio cause of national tranquillity wiU merit, and receive, the patronage of a greatful community; but those who, with tho Constitutionalist, will strive to lull those resolutions into a slumber, will plact themselves in a very difforemt situation. It is hoped, sir, that flio preceding ithservations will obtain admission into your useful columns. A CITIZEN. ■ « oflsiToit.€ i\ b7. \ evv- Vontv, Nov. 13.
