JP d'-nca that the decision is erroneous wul be more j,
apparent and conclusive, than it appears to be
tv iheprev.oua reviews, winch make no refer- ;
r-nee to the decisions ol the Supreme Court.
There i> still another reason for such a review :j
L pou the pros-at at ion of a memorial from ai
large number of the citizens of the city of-New-;
York, to liie 1 iou?'i'of Representatives cf the;
Congress of the United States, by the Hun. J.
Q, Adams, one of liie u l.se men of the East, |
(or ra'i.cr wiseacres ot tlie Last.) declared that
i; was the duty of the President of the L. States
So call out ‘.he militia to execute the decision.
T his declart.ion received no rebuke or reply |
from any quarter of the house, from which it
may be inferred that the declaration received ;
the mss nt, or at hast the acquiescence of every j
'in'inbcr oi the bouse, composed ui more than
200 m.mb rs, The folly and extravagance of
t.ie deciar ition is disgraceful to the character of
tiie ho is ; lor intelligence. The Supreme Couit
had issued its mandate to a high judicial officer
of the Statu- There could bo no doubt bin the;j
mand i'e would be oxeb’.reJ, unless in the opin- I
j m of the judicial officer to whom it was direct
ed, jt was clearly erroneous ; clearly a usurpa- j
tiua ou the part of the Supreme Court. If such j
should be the opinion of the Judicial officer olj',
the vltate. the mandate would remain unexecut-ji
ed ; but that would ikriiNh no grounds fur call* i;
luu out the militia. Ail that is necessary to the'i
e:-.'cut ion of the mandate, is to convince the;'
jatigiimut an i conscience of the state Judge that
the decision is not erroneous. The application |(
of mi lit. try force, is certainly not the uppropri
ate means of producing such a elmvicuon. An-11

1 . k * -% *
to give eilbet o tlie decision of tie Supreme!

pesiiiou or protest ou the pan of any senator. |
\eli. .s manifestly an hnj roper instruction It ! i
is absurd for either bouse to Institute inquiries
which can 1 .ad to no practical result. Any leg
islative measure which may grow out of the in
quiry would be clearly retrospective as to the
mandate of the .Supreme Court in the case of
be Misslutiarb s. Now there is no controver
sy at the [ires .nt day, that all retrospective le
gislation s condenuie 1 by all enlightened men
la every uat ua. If the laws are defective, let j
those detec s be remedied, and govern ail cases \
arising under the amended law. Fearful that J
some legislation may grow out of the excite
ment which may be produced bv political party
action and by fanaticism, 1 have determined to
make any client o prevent, to war d olf the es-
Tecls of iwo siich baleful eilemies to the peace
and happiness of the community, and to the
character oi s' Uiid, wholesome iegislaticu.
As cr these* preliminary observations, I pro
ceed to compare the decision of the Supreme |
Court m the case of the Missionaries with thej
previous decisions of the Supreme Court.
iu,the case of Fletcher A: Peck, 0 Cranch!
87, me Sup;ctne Court decided that the State
-‘I Geoi fe .a w » oc.z v d m lee of the very lands
now m the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians, j
smd declared vaad a grant issued by the State forj
those lauds. Had i been employed by the State!
to defend it against the writ of error, I Would j
have snnpiy read .o the Court the casoofFJetch-j
cr Ov Pea, and have said, if the counsel for tlie!
-MissiunaiAs can produce a solitary case in the
history of civilized man in which a sovereign
s' itc has been adjudged by u Court to be Seized | <
M he of a particular territory, by virtue of i s j
sovereignty, and yet has been deprived of thej !
ordinary sovereignty and jurisdiction of that !
territory, then it might be admitted that thepre- 1
tension of the Cherokee'S o be a sovereign and 1
independent State is not so absurd us to exclude <
all investigation. But if no such case can bei j
■produced, there is an end of the question. j]
Investigation of a quea ion self-evident in its h
nature, is always idle and ridiculous. But the /
Supreme Court has decided in tavour of that |‘
pretension without, however, producing any such : 1
instance. It is therefore necessary to examine ‘
the grounds upon which that decision rests, and | ‘
see it they arc compatible with the previous de-! (
cisions of the Supreme Court.—ln page 10, of*;! *
the pamphlet prin ed by Gales A: Seaton, con-A
raining the decision of the Supreme Court, the ji
Chiei Justice says, “ Fho great maritime pow. j]
*’ ers of Europe discovered Title rent parts of this ji
“ continent nearly at the same time. The ob- t
'• ject was too immense for any of them to grasp I
** the whole; and the claimants were too pow.- t
*• erful to subnet to the exclusive or unreasona- j <
blc pretensions of any single potentate. To -
i“ avoid bloody conflicts which terminate disus- ‘
“ trously to all, it waS necessary for the nations ‘
“ °t Europe, to establish some principle which ‘
“ all would acknowledge, and which should de- 4
“ cide their respective rights as between them- i
• selves. This principle suggested bv the ac- t
* a an ~
•* tual state ot things, was, that discovery gave t
“■ title to the government by whose subjec s, or 1
“ by whose authority, it was made, against alii 1
"other European gorernmentsi which title j <
“ might be consummated by possession.’ * | J
“ Fuis principle, acknowledged by all Europe- t
nns, because it was the interest of ail to ac- £
“ knowledge it, gave to the nation making the 1
” discovery, as its inevitable consequence, the s
“ sole right of acquiring the soil, and of ma- <
*■ king settlements on it- It was an exclusive I
“ principle which shut out the right of competi- c
•• uou among those who had agreed to it; not 1 a
“ one which could annul the precious rights of | i
•• those who hid not agreed to a. ‘-It regulated; a
■ the right given by discovery among the Eu- i
ropean discoverers, but could not aJFect the e
'• rights cf those already in possession, either as I
‘ aboriginal occupants, or as occupants, by virtue c
“of a discovery node before the memory cf man, , u
“ it gave the exclusive right to purchase, out did | [:
“ found that right on a denial of the right e
“ of the possessor to sett.'” ; *
“ The rclato-n between the Europeans and tne -
“ natives teas determined in each case y the par- c
“ ticular government, which asserted and could i
" maintain this presumptive privilege in the par- :
tieakir place.” Again in page 11, tlie court 1
*' says, They (the grants or charters) pur; ort.. i
‘•generally to convey the soil from the At- t.
“ lautic to the South Sea. This soil was oocu-| 1,
*' ph-d by numerous and warlike nations, equal- s

“ The extravagant and absurd idea that the fee. 1 <
“ bie 9et-lemeiits made on the sea-coast, or *i.e i

(“quired legitimate power by them to govern -

“ pern Sovereigns respecting Ann rlen, they mi rht i
“ rightfully convey, and no more. This was the I
*• exclusive right of purchasing such lands as the:
natives were willing to sell. The crown could .1
“ not i-c understood to grant what the crown did not 1
“ a licet to claim, nor was it so understood.” Thej 1
opinion of the chief jus ice furnishes oilier views t
which arc equally objectionable with those al- j i
read cited, but enough has already been cited to, t
form a comparison with the decision of the Su- <
pf me Court in the case of Johnson vs. Mein- j i
tosh, 8 W iieat. 573. 1 j
In that case the chief justice, who makes so! t
| light of the charters granted by the crown of •'
Great Britain, and ridicules the idea that it was d
understood that the crown neither claims, nor A
grants the sod or jurisdiction of the lauds de-; .
scribed in its charters ; that same chief j ns.ice, 1
■in the case of Johnson vs. Mclntosh, explicitly; 1
|declared that in relation to America, Discovery' i
and con/ucst were synonymous terms, America ;h
then according to that decision was granted oiu ,k
us a conquered country, and yet thechiefjustice: i
iioids in the missionary case that discovery diu j 1
not affect the right of the Natives, These two, c
I decisions taken together, declare, that con-jucst j I
I gives tie conqueror no rights and takes none from \
\lhe conquered. A decision too absurd to require s
a moment’s consideration. If there was the jC
islightest foundation fur such an oj inion, it is aid
1 subject of lusting regret that the discovery was A
J CO o »
■ not made before the fall of the Roman and Gre- jc
I clan Empires. Tlie Supreme Court would be js
I richly entitled to a patent for their discovery if jj
jit could convince the world of its practical fuun- k
; Jatioa, and would also devise arguments calcula- !|t
fed to convince nations of die justice and pro- i! [
juiiety of aimittiag this principle into the law ol q
luaiions, and of giving it force and validity. jj|
But there is another grotsnd upon which the. r
Supreme Court rest their decision in the case of A
the missionaries, in page 18 of the opinion in jv
tlie missionary case, tlie chief justice says: A
“ Tha: instrument (the cons itutioii of the U. B.)l t
cons.-rs on Congress the powers of war ok peace; 1 c
■if making treaties, and of regulating commerce! f
j with foreign nations, among the several States, I v
land witli the Indian tribes. These powers com- c
preiiond all that is necessary for the regulation of; k
our intercourse whh the Indians. They are not a
limited by any restrictions or their free actions, b
The shackles imposed on this power in the con- v
federation are discarded.” For what the pow- >-
cr of declaring war and making peace, and of| b
making treaties are relied upon, is unknown to! ci
me. Tho right of war and peace, and of making jl,
treaties were equally vested in the Congress by I t
‘the articles of confederation. Those articles a1- i t
I so vested Congress with “ tlie sole and exclusive
right of regulating the trade and managing all o
the afldirs with the Indians not members of any c
of the lutes ; Provided that the legislative fight 3
of any State within its own limits be not in- j f
fringed or violated.” The chief justice appears U‘
to think that the power to regulate commerce A’
with the Indian tribes granted in the present] ij
cons kution, is a more ample grant ofpower than 1 q
that in the cotifcderadon, because it is not rw-i L
strained by the proviso; but in the former case! F
it is an exclusive right to regulate Indian trade j a
and to manage all their affairs. In the latter; I
case it is only a power given to regulate their] a
commerce, given in the Same words that confer ,jt
:he power to regulate commerce with foreign na- i b
tions. This grant to regulate commerce with j r
the Indian tribes is considered by sF e chief jus-j [-
licc, to “comprehend all that is required fofj t
die regulation of our intercourse with tlie Indi- j 'J
alts,” for it lias.already been shewn that the c
other powers, with which helms been pleased to j
connect the power to regulate Indian commerce,; t
can have no influence upon the regulation of our] e
Indian intercourse, which the aiticit-s of cohfede- t
ratich did not possess. Mr. justice M‘Lean, in ii
his opinion, is more explicit upon this subject, s
than the chief jus ice. After quoting the power i
to regulate commerce with the Indian tribes, j a
correctly at firs , he afterwards invariably con- c
aiders it a power to regulate intercourse general- , a
ly; and always refers to it as such general pow- jit
er. In page 84, he asks, “ does not the cons*i-!in
“ tution give to the U. 8. as exclusive jurisdic- i e
“ lion in regulating intercourse with the Indians, ii n
O ' j
“as has been given to them over any othfer sub- s
“ject? Is there any doubt as to this investiture | n
“ofpower?” I answer the Judge wiihout fear of c
ccntradiction: No such power has been grant- n
cd by tlie coastitutiou. The power ol regulating jo
commerce has been granted, but the power of; n
regulating commerce is so different from the 1 ii
O u
power to regulate intercotysc, generally, that I] g
had supposed, that any person capable of tallying! u
ten upon a slick with a jack-leg knife would i|s;
have comprehended it. But it seems lam mis-jitl
taken, for I will admit that Judge M‘Loan is] ti
capable of keeping such a tally. In page 28, ll
Judge AFLean says: “In this respect (the re- tl
“ gelation of commerce) they have been treat- ii
“ed by ihe federal authority, with but few ex- ti
“ cep'ions, on the same footing as foreign na-ijtl
“ tiuas.” This assertion so far from being true, I h
it is averred that there is not one point of simil- |jw
arity between the acts of Congress regulating 1 C
commerce with lb reign nations ; and the act of; o;
1302 rctrulatin.-'trade and intercourse withthe'iti
o v?
Indian tribes. The former acts regulate the lei
couduc- of foreigners when they come into the] j"A
pons of the U. S. for the purpose of commerce,;; n
and prescribes the maimer in which they shall n
conduct themselves at the American custom; ci
houses. The ac of 1802, on the other hand, pre-| h
scrilxs what shall be the conduct of American; a
citizens, when they go among the Indian tribes v
for the purpos- of trade. But the largest portion fi
of that act is taken up in defining certain offences n
and prescribing the manner and mode of pun- o
ishiag t'.oso off -aces; and thereby greatly]
and unconstitutionally increasing the crim- j o
ma! jurisdiction of lue United States. Un- tl
der the power to regulate commerce with the Jn
Indian tribes every man in the United States, ex- ] tl
cep; Judge MT.ean, will admit that Congress has 1 1
not the constitutional right to provide for the U
punishment of any off nee not connected with,
or growing out of commerce with an Indian or ■; s«
Indian tribe. Yet almost every offence defined u
and punished by the act of 1302, has no“rationaV c
connechon #ith Indian commerce. Yet it is n
for violating the provisions of this unconstitu- i v
tiouai act, that the act of the State of Georgia la
has been declared unconstitutional and void, e
The federal party have un;l'»nnly contended that jr:
the Supreme Court of the U. States was the ou-;jc
[v competent authority to declare an act uncon- ti
ii rational. No suca power has been express- s
iv delegated to them. It they possess the pow. a
or to decide upon the constitutionality ox a iaw,‘- v.
it uius: b-.- by virtue of the same authority that
other Judicial officers exercise the same author
ity. The coasutution of each government is
the Supreme Law of the land, when its provi
sions come in conflict with an ordinary act of |
Legislation, the Judicial authority is bound to \
decide beta .on them. If this is the nature and j
origin of the power of courts to determine upon
t.;e constitutionality of a law, that power is com-,
men to ail courts A not peculiar to the Supreme
Court.
I regret extremely that the Supreme Court, j
lending itself to political partizans, or religious j
fanatics, or to some other impure, and degrad-1
mg motive, should have made a decision in con
tradiction of all the historical facts connected
with Indian customs, laws, and manners ; with |j
the well settled jurisprudence of the Union, as
• stabhshed by our decisions, and with the com
mon sense, and intimate convictions of tiie 're
public.—l admit the theory of the Government, ■
that when a question of law is decided by the
Supreme Court, which is clearly wLhin its legi-'
timate jurisdiction, the law ought to be cousi
dcred settled. Igo farther.—When-the deci
sion is only questionable, 1 would conform to it.
Bui such is not the case in the present instance.
Whenever an act of usurpation is presented to
me, 1 will oppose it without inquiring .minutely
whence it emanated. Indeed I feel disposed to
oppose it with more vigour and vigilance when
it emanates from a Court, than when it proceeds
from a legislative body. In lire latter, in the
conflict of opinions, excitement is engendered, j
Under the influence of excitement the s.ill small
voice of reason is often silenced, and wrong is
sometimes done without intending it. But in
Courts of Justice, if any where, o: inions should
be formed free from ail passion or excitement. ;
The inquiry here is what is the law, not what it
ought to be. Whenever, therefore, a decision
glarugly wrong emanates from a Court, but cs- [
pecialiy from the Supreme Court of the United
States, it is the duty of every citizen to sound ■
the tocsin of alarm, and call the attention of the ■
public, to the invasion of the rights of the re- j
public. Tins decision of the Supreme Court ■
proves most triumphantly the insecurity there g
is in permitting that tribunal to arrogate to it- ■
sell' the exclusive right of deciding upon the j
unconstitutional! yof laws- In the case under t
consideration, the Supreme Court has decided i
that a State law is. unconstitutional, because it i
conflicts with the act of 1802, for regulating
finite and intercourse with the Indian tribes,
which no man in his senses can pronounce to be -
constitutional. That it is unconstitutional is
palpably demonstrable. Yet the Supreme Court,
and especially Mr. Jusdce MbLean, appears to
have no doubt on the subject, and probably ne
ver will have a doubt as to the constitutionality i
of any act of Congress, unless it should infringe
his own rights ; should increase bis labors, or
diminish his salaries. It is believed that the on
ly act of Congress declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court, was one increasing the du
ties of the Judges.
Fellow-citizens, examine this decision. In
order to make it, the Court has nullified the de
cisions of Fie cher Peck, and Johnson and
Mclntosh. They have decided that a sovereign i
State, seized in fee of a particular territory, by
virtue of its sovereignty, lias not the ordinary ju- j
risdictiou of that territory. They have deter
mined that conquest gives no rights to the con
queror and takes none from the conquered. In
both these instances, they have overturned their!
previous decisions which had met with ge feral i
approbation, at least with general acquiescence.;
If discovery and conquest are synonymous terms,
as they relate to America, how is it possible for
the Supreme Court in the missionary case to
have decided that discovery did not affect the 1
rights of the aborigines ? It is not rny duty to
prove that the decision in Johnson 6 c Mclntosh,
that discovery dc conquest are synonymous terms.
The Cddrt, it the Missionary case, do not re. ■
consider their decision in the case of Johnson
A Mclntosh, and overrule it as erroneous. If c
they had done this, it might become my duty to *
examine the reasons and authorities upon which;
the authority of that case was attempted to be
invalidated. There is no intimation in the mis-i <
nonary case that the Court is dissatisfied wnh ,
i s decisions in the case of Fletcher and Peck, t
and Johnson vA Mclntosh, There is then no ne
cessity to oiler any argument, or produce anv t
authority in support of those decisions. If
those decisions are correct, the decision of the
missionary Case must be wrong. There is no -
escaping this conclusion. It is inevitable. It
nay excite surprize that the Supreme Court
fliouid have fallen into a palpable error of judg-1 ;
Hein. That L has fallen into an error there I
;an, I think, be no doubt, but whether it is an er- -
•or of judgment is questionable. The members' i
)f the Supreme Ccuit are men—fallible men - A j
majority of that Court are opposed to the admin-1 *
stration of the Union. It is notorious that a s
jrcut effort is making to overturn that adminis- j i
ration. It is, matter of notoriety that there is l c
sympathy between a majority of the Court, and,
he leading partizans of the opposition. It is • £
hen not matter of exceeding astonishment thatj
he sympathy which is known to exist between "
he majority of the Court, and the political par- '[
izans of the opposition to the federal auministra- ■
ion, should have drawn that majority aside from
he course which as judges it was their duty to j
lave pursued. But speculation as to the cause j
vhich may have induced the majority cf the 2
lourt to swerve from its duty, is not the object | c
if this review. That the Court has swerved v
'rom its dutyt has been. I trust, sufficiently prov-i n
rd. It may bo asked by the intelligent reader,! r
vhat course ought to be pursued towards the
majority of the Court. My reply is, that it is "
lot my duty to determine. If they have acted' 1
lurruptly, they ought to be impeached. , I have
io hesitation in declaring that had I mace such) '
i decision, I ought to be impeached, tried, con
icted and disqualified from holding a judicial of- : n
ice. It is presumed, that no member of that;
najority would consider himself honoured by a
- with the writer of this review.
In this review I have taken no notice of the
dejections to the form of the record upon which 1 ,
he decision of the Court has been pronounced ;
lor is it my intention to offer any opinion upon |
hat question- It* 1 were disposed to examine it,' I;
have not the materials necessary to a satisfac-l
orv conclusion;
Before closing this review, I beg leave to take' ~
iome further notied of Mr. Justice McLean's
ipinions. He seems to have considered the’
flaim of the State of Georgia, to jurisdiction, as J
■estingupon the ground that such jurisdiction -
was inseparably connected with sovereignty :
inJ presents several cases where sovereignty
existed Separately from the exercise of such ju- 1
■isdiction. All the cases presented by him, are
tases where jurisdiction has expressly by cozi
raci been waived or abandoned. It never has,
so far as I have been informed, been denied that'
i sovereign Stats might, by express stipulation, ’
■valve, abandon, or even transfer certain of its
rights of sovereignty. The argument that thej
Judge combats, is that certain rights, juristic- :
tion and powers are necessarily incident to sove- !
reigniy, where they have not been expressly i
| waived, abandoned, or transferred. The exem
plification wilich the Judge wished to present, 1
! totally fails, unless he can shew that the State of
Georgia has, by compact, waived, abandoned, or
transferred those rights. This has not been
;shewn, and cannot be shewn. All the Judge’s
■ labour is therefore worse than lost. He lias
I made himself ridiculous. The Judge is respect-
J fully advised, never to offer a seriatim opinion,
jat least when he concurs in the decision of the-
Chief Justice: for he may rest assured that ifj
the Chief Justice fails to make out a tenable case ,|
jhe will mar what is tenable in the opinion of the'
Chief Justice, if there is any thing of that char-11
actor in it. In conclusion, I have no hesitation in,
pronouncing the opinion of the Supreme Court in;
the Missionary case, palpably erroneous, and is!
entitled to no respect from the Judges of this!!
State, and that Judge Dougherty has acted cor- !
redly in paying no attention to it. The quos-ji
tion is sometimes asked, what will be done with!
the mandate of the Supreme Court ? Judge!
Dougherty has answered that question. The!
question now to be asked is, what will the Su-j
preme Court do ? The answer is, nothing, unless i
the present Congress should legislate upon the
subject, and apply its legislation to the case which!
has already happened. Judging from what lias 1
passed in both houses of Congress, it would noil
Be astonishing, if such a course cf conduct!
should be pursued. My confidence in the good!
sense, not to say wisdom, of Congress, has van-:
ished. I shall be surprised at no act of folly or
extravagance that may emapate from that body.
M hen such a decision as that in the Missionary
case, has emanated from the Supreme Court, we
ought not to be astonished at the ordinary or cx
jtraordinary aberrations of deliberative assem
blies. Indeed, if Congress should be seized with
the desire of signalizing itself as the champions
of the Supreme Court, it would be charitable to
ascribe its zeal and intemperance to the influ- I
ence of the Comet which has been predicted, ji
and is daily expected to make its appearance in :
the East. Perhaps it has already made its ap
pearance at the capitol. Ii is, however, hoped,
that whatever baleful influence it may shed upon
that region, it will have lost its noxious influence
before it reaches us. JURIST.

E. White Sc William Hagai*,
E-SPECTFULLY inform the Printers of the
% United States, to whom they have long been in
dividually known as established Letter Founders, that
they Srave now formed a co-partnership in said busi
ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive
j experience, to be able to give full satisfaction to all
j who may, favor them with orders.
| The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious
and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a
desideratum by the Europe m and American Founders,
was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure
of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first
successfully accomplished. Extensive use c! the ma
chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its
superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the
old process.
The Letter Foundry business will hereafter be car-j
ried on by the parties before named, under the firm oft
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. Their specimen exhibits j
j a complete series from diamond to 11 lines Pica. The
book and news type being in the most modern light and
| style.
WHITE; HAGAR and Co. are agents for the sale of
the Smith and Rust Printing presses, which they can
furnish to their customers at the manufacturers’ prices.
Chases, Cases, Composing Sticks, Ink, and every ar
tie’e used in the Printing Business, kept on sale, and
furnished on short notice. Old Type taken in exchange,
for new at 9 cents per pound.
