spurious.—They nmy dismiss such
doubts. We have tisecrlnincd that the
paper is unquestionably genuine.
Most of the papers in Georgia nnd
South.Carolina have already expressed
their astonishment and resentment at
(he issuing of any such summons. They
rejoice at the course which the Georgia
Legislature promptly look upon the oc
casion—some of them only ure surprised
by the moderate tone in which Georgia
has asserted her inalienable rights ol ju
risdiction.—Hot what species ol jurisdic
tion would she possess within her own
acknowledged boundaries, if she could
not exercise a criminal jurisdiction upon
her own soil; if she could not try and
bring to punishment on Indian who had
been guilty of murdering a while man ?

To I /s' House of JUpresrnlativefi of the I . -S'. .*

relating to the recent arrangement with
Great Hrituin, w ilh respect to the trade
between her colonial possessions and
the { idled Stales, to which reference
w as made in my Message at the opening
oflhe piesent session.
Il will up,.ear from those documents,

ix'slrliiing iinpot rdiotis into the Hril sli

the trade with the \\ esl India colonies |
should be opened, the commercial inter
course oflhe United Estates with nil other
parts oflhe Uritisli dominions or posses
sions should lie left on a footing not less
favorable to the United Estates than it
now is; and to the net not specifying the
terms upon which Uritisli vessels coin
ing from the northern colonies should be
admitted to entry into the ports of the
United Estates, tin apprehension wits en
tertained by the Government of Grent
Drituin. that, under the contemplated ur
eangement, claims might be set up, on
our purl, Inconsistent with the proposi

(lieterms to which she was willing to
agree; and that this circumstance led to
explanations between Mr. ill'Lane and
the Earl of Aberdeen, respecting the in
tentions of Uongress. and the true con
struction to lie given to the act referred
to.
To the interpretation given by them to
that act. I did not hesitate to agree. It
was quite clear that, in adopting the
amendment relbrreU to, Congress could
not have intended to preclude future al
terations in the existing intercourse be
tween lhi> United .States and other parts
oflhe Hrilish dominions; and the suppo
sition that the, omission to (restrict, in

by the propositions previously made by
ibis government to that ol'Grcat lirituin,
anil winch were before Congress at the
time oflhe passage of the net, by the
principles which govern the maritime
legislation of the two countries, and by
the provisions-of the existing commer

Wr may now hope, then, to hour no more about

the genuineness of the citation; but it was not
a little mortifying, to see men evidently desirous
that it should prove to ho a hoax, nicely be
cause they disapproved of the Slate’s proceed
lugs on the subject, or disliked Mr. Gilmer, and
■ho edlosen ins un, opuUrily inn eased by the
ridicule which would follow— caring nothing

ty and character ol the State to party considera

presume on caders arc aware, that wo have no

vve shall not hesitate to step forvva <1 in defence
of both, where the latter is wantonly sac'diced
to motives of opposition to him,—The liono , &
charade-, and welfare of his Stale, are para
mount objects, with every patriotic citizen; and
lie who would lightly sacrifice them to any per
sonal or party feeling, is unworthy thu confi
dence and respect of the public.
We lindeisland that a public meeting will he
hold in the Reading Room, in Cumming’s Range,
this evening, for the pur -esc us taking into consi
deration some improvement of the present Mail
a .angomeu'.s of the city, mid memorializing
iho Post-Muster-Genorul on the subject. The
i objections to" the present arrangements, vve
understand, principally regard the Northern
Mail—the time of its a; iival, 10 o’clock, I’. M.
rendenng it impracticable to obtain let'.cis and
pa; ers therefrom, till tho next morning, or tore
ply by letter, till the second return mail; while
at the same time, the letters and papers for
Hamburg, arc dist. United, th ough the ; olitoiicss
oflhe Post-Master of that place, on the evening
ol their nr.ival, —the small business oftliat office,
coiupai i d with that ofou. s, enabling him to do so
without inconvenience, while hero it is impracti
cable, —and this earlier attainment oflhe news,is
supposed to give the merchants of llan.hu-g some
advantage over those of Augusta; though wo
should presume that the latter, aware of the cir
cumstances, might avoid entering into any spe
culations till the Augusta office opened, without
any material injury or inconvenience. We can
not see how these objections can he removed,
consistently with the general interests of thu
country, as lately so much facilitated, by the ac
celerated speed in the transmission of the mail
from the North to New Orleans; as the desired
improvement cannot well be made without caus
ing the mail to arrive here several hours cailior,
which, fiom a review of tho ionic,would seem al
together impracticable; or delaying it one day,
which of course is out of tho question. There
can he no possible objection, however, to the
pro; used consideration and memorial. The Pest
Music. General will certainly have no objection
to consult with out citizens on the subject; and
the evident solicitude with which lie has studied
the interests of the whole count y connected with
his department, and the promptitude and energy
with which he has improved the in, whenever
practicable—and among others those of our own
city-' -is thu best assurance that he will cheerfully
again comply with tho wishes ol our citizens, us
far as established engagements, and conlhvt.ng
- interests, may leave it within his power to do so.
, The present arrangement with regard to the
Savannah Mail, we understand will also be con
sidered. The citizens of Savannah, (who de
sire that these of Augusta should co-o crate with
® them on the subject) have adopted a petition to
[ the Post Master General, an extract f.om which
has been sent to gentlemen of this city, and is in
serted below. —A con es, ondent, it will be seen,
suggests that the Sunday Mail question lias
- some connexion with this latter object wll h
• what correctness we cannot say: but wo should
• hope that all such improper interference would
be promptly discountenanced, both lie a and in
Savannah; and that it will be, to-n’ght, if the ;
r ! suggestion bo well-founded.

' ( : Va-j/ '■ ‘ from our hist.)
Mr. Jknkins, of Richmond, replied to Mr.
Schley.—He was by bi th a Carolinian, and hot
p opined to say, by advocating tho o igiual cso
lutions, “my native land, good night.” Ho did
not step f) th as the accuser of one party, nor as
the special advocate of the other. Doth would
1 strenuously advocate llici; respective causes;
and whether or not they did so sincerely, was a
matte between themselves and thei own con
sciences. Rut ho was not disposed to denounce
the people of a sistc State,---could not swallow
the odious denunciations leveled against them —
and would never consent to adopt the . esolulions
which contained them. If ho did, he should he
ashamed to c oss the Savannah vivo , or to look
an honest, high-minded, & generous Ca oilman
in the face. Ho repelled tin chagcs made
against Gov. Troup and the T oup party, and
would saj to Ills colleague, who had n.outhod it
about Republicanism, and talked so much of
the inconsistency of others, that they who live
in glass houses, should never th o\v stones; or
if they do, they need not lie surprised if their
own f nil edifices should he demolished. Did
the gentleman forget, that he had been a Fede
ralist, and an opponent of the war—and that he
had refused, or regained from, joining in tho
joyous celebrations of those victories which
fi. inly established tho independence ot our
country, redressed its wrongs, and shod around
it, rays pt mu* u —I—LI- &b>iy. [Mr. Hciilky ;
Hero rose and denied tho assertions. ] M. J.
said ho behoved ho could prove them, and if the
gentleman would call on him at any time, out of
the House, ho would furnish him with the evi
donee.--He could not understand the principle
hy which gentlemen hud down gene al propo
sitions, developing their political faith, and then
brought so. wa'd arguments in di oct opposition
tothum. His .colleague, after dccla.ing liis op
position to the Ta. iff, had ti god in suppo-t of it,
that the li ft Cong ess, nfle. tho adoption of tho
Federal Constitution, composed pa lly of tho
framers of the constitution, had passed a law (b
the protection of Mainifaclu es. [M . Schley
lir c ruse and olise ved that he had not urged
this in suppo.tof the Ta iff, hut to show that there
I was cause for a loasonablo difference of opinion
oh the subject, and for moderation and forbear
ance on our pa t.] Mr. J. remarked that this
point of tho subject could pass with gentlemen
fur what it was worth, and in that state he should
leavr it.—He dep ftatnrt the censure endeavor
ed to he cast on Carolina, and considered that
it involved the State as well as the people. In
compliance with the recommendations of the
i Gove nor, resolutions had been eported, appro
, ving oflhe Indian policy of this State, and pledg
ing the aiil of Ca.olina against any into Terence
I with on, just rights. Shall wo, then, rein n en
! mity forf,iendshlp, and rudely and ungratefully
! thrust away the hand of affection and sympathy
! so generously extended lo us? He trusted not
1 —he was sue not! What if the wrongs of
• Carolina, under repeated Fodc, al usurpations,]
1 resisting all temperate arguments and remon- 1
• slrances, had goaded on he sons to rashness, and i
1 ini rndcncc—is it our province, suffering in tho
r same cause, to join in the insiduous attacks and
- slanderous epithets of her enemies? Patriotism
! was of a glowing and houyunt nature, and when
, it bounded upwards lo a giddy height, was it
1 the part of justice or generosity, to hull it down
• ward to destruction, rathe, than po-tnil it lo
s descend, by its own gravitation, lo its proper
1 level I What if Carolina, in the fust burst of
1 her patriotic and indignant sense of oppression,
- hud been rush or imprudent in her measu es,
- who could hotter correct her error s, than her
t own highly gifted, gallant, and patiiofc sons.
lie did not approve of some, of the mcasucs
, of Carolina, & rag.ettud the imprudence some
r times manifested in advocating them; hut, nev
-‘ e. ihelcss, lie believed them actuated hy ; u 0 and
I pat.iotic motives. Indeed, he did not believe
1 tlic-o wore mope | u-c, disinterested, or higli
- minded pall lots on earth, than her McDtimr.,
, Hayne, Hamilton, Rabnw.il, and Maiitin.
- They wo o patriots, and the sons of patriots—
, lie üblicans, and the sons of Republicans—
-3 Southerners, and the sons of Southerners—and
s none wore more brave, more ardent, more gen
-1 emus, more magnanimous, or 1110 o 1.110.
1 Mr. Sculf.v said lie lose to rejdy to that part
I of the gentleman's speech, which contained an
I unprovoked and unjustifiable personal attack on
1 him. Ho had said nothing whatever, that could
■ be *0 construed as to authorize such an attack;
r and he was sorry to see that the gentleman had
1 ado, tod so undignified a mean of evading arc
,- ply to arguments and doctrines which he evi
s deutly found Inn.self unable to refute.—He had
, never been a Federalist, in the odious acce
. tat ion of the word, evidently intended by th,
i gentleman; nor was he opposed to tho late war
. after that war was declared. Previous to its
declaration, he had cxetciscd the inalienable
1 privilege of a feeman, to judge of the policy
1 and expediency of the measure; and believing,
with many of the nu est patriots of that day g ni [
this, f.om the then distracted feelings and ej.
bausted finances of the country, that it was u n .
prepared for a war, he had, in common wnR
them, expressed his disapprobation of the mca.
sure, previous to its adoption; but when it \va s
j ado .led—which was by a majority of one vote
only—he did not oppose it, but, con«ide;ing jj
the established law of the land, publicly decla d
it the duty of every good ci'izcn, to support
it to an honorable termination. Ho bore the
commission ofMajor of Militia, in Jeffc son Co.,
and solicited employment in active service, f.om
the Executive of the State, Governor Mitchell;
to whom Tils letter of application was borne,
by Gen. then Col. Ncwnan ; and when the mill
tin Were o.dored to Savannah, ho marched with
them, with as n dent and decided a spirit, as h u
could have done, had he bccu the most decided
advocate of the uolicy and ox, ediency of die
war. Both his ancesto-s and himself were
always decided republicans. Ho bad been
opposed totbo administrations &. politics of both
the elder and youngo Adams, and an advo
j cate of tho ,'rinci Icsaml politics andadmiuislrii
-1 lion of M . Jefferson, except so fa as regarded
the embargo, and the 'est ictive mcasu cs gene
rally, to which ho was decidedly opposed. Hero
tho rest, ictive system commenced, and here
commenced that exposition lo it, on his part,
which had continued unshaken to the present
time. The South was then in favor of it; and
because ho op, osed it, ho was called a Fodn allsl
andaToiy; and now, that others who wore
then opposed to him, had come over to bis doc
t. inos, they were disposed to call him a Federal
ist still—he presumed, because he happened to
possess mo e consistency than they. When
Opposed to the rcstiictive system, nt the outset
of it, he had once a warm a guinont on the sub
joct, with a friend of his, and during that argu
ment, told him, that if they both lived fifteen
yea s, ho would change his o, inion, and acknow
ledge that be was w.ong; and 4flkd since done,
so, decla ing that ho himself, had been incon
sistent on tho est ictivo system, and he (Mr.
Schley) consistent.—He was not a Fcdeialist,
in the sense given to the word by the gentleman
who had so wantonly and unjustifiably assailed
him; hut so fa as it im.lied an affectionate, de
voted, and undeviating attachment to the Fede
ral Constitution anil the Union, he always had
been, and always should be, a Fcde alisl.
M . Jknkins said-it was unnoccssa y for him
to say mo con tho subject. The gentleman had
in fact acknowledged nearly all that ho hud
charged him with. lie had admitted that ho
had been called a Federalist, at the lime alluded
to, and as the people of that time were doubt- '
less the best judges of the matter, it must ho
presumed that ho was what was deemed a fed
eralist in those days. He should leave tho gen
tleman's explanation to the consideration of
those who hea d it; & as ho had evinced much
I sensitiveness on the sunje—, -• ould icnv.ch,
that as the gallod jade would wince, so the
wounded door would bloat.
Mr. McDonai.p offered as a substitute, a pre
amble favorable to tho Supreme
Court, as the arhite. ofmatto.s of diffe once be
tween tho States and the Gene al Gove nmont,
Ac.; which was aflo ward withd awn—togeth
or with a substitute, ofic oil by Mr. Havnks,
ox ressing entho satisfaction with the adminis
tration of Gen. Jackson, and a desire for bis re
election.
M . Doochxbtv, of Clark, opposed the origi
nal resolutions, and all tho substitutes, except
llic fi st 0110, offered by Mr. Beall ofTwiggs,- •
the ecnsu.o endeavored to bo cast on 1 lie pco
-1 IcofS. Ca.olina, and the doctrine of submitting
questions cf sovo cignty, between the Stales
and llio General Government, to the decision
of the Supreme Court. How, he asked, could
the latter, immediately connected as it is, with
one of the parties, and consequently interested,
in a certain degree, in the result of such qiics'-
liiins, he looked upon for a moment, as a suita
ble tribunal so their determination? Tho Court
was composed of seven Judges—three might
be on onu side, and th.ee on the otho, and in
such a ease, the vital Uhcrtics of ihe pco Ic, and
the destinies of the States, and of the Nation,
would he ; laced entirely within the , owe: of a
single individual. The people ,ncver intended
that such should be tho case, and would never
submit to it. Beside, when did the Supremo
1 Con; t ever declare a law of Cong: css unconsti
! tutional, or a contested law of a State conslilu
j lion at?—What, ho asked, wo 0 the doctrines of
nullification, which had excited, unnecessarily,
so many alleged foa-s for the safety of the Union !
Did they aim at a separation of tho Union, or
tend to bloodshed or violence ? No—thei.' ob
ject, as he understood it, was a redress of grievan
ces, in a legal and pcacvablo manner—to call a
convention of tbo people, to deride, in their
highest sovereign capacity, on Ihe constitutional
ity of tbo present Tariff, and whether or not, to
prevent its o cration in that State. If they
decided that it was unconstitutional, and ino, c
rative in the State, and consequently that the
people of the Stale were absolved from all obe
dience to it, it was ex: ected that the merchants
of Cha;lcston, Georgetown, Ac. would refuse
to pay ih. ir Custom-house bonds, beyond the
amount so me ly exacted for revenue purposes.
1 The demand so the remainder, on the part of '
! the General Government, would then be Lied

j llie decision of the Convention, lo dele, mine in
• j favor of tha defendant. Tho case would then
1 bn sent up lo the Supreme Court, which xvould
• of com sc, reverse the decision, and return it lo
tho District Court, and that would again decide
t for tho Defendant, and so on.* Tho’ lie did not
1 approve of this mode of redress, believing
1 that it was incap able of effecting it; fur even
