TIIE CHEROKEE CASE.
fn the Supreme Court of the V. States. Sam
uel A. Worcester, vs. The State of Georgia.
On Saturday last, Mr. Chief Justieo Mar
shall delivered tho opinion of the Court in
this case, reversing the judgment of the Supe
rior Court of Gwinnett.county, in Georgia.—
Tho'effect of this decision is, that tho recent
acts of Georgia taking possession of the Che
rokee country, and providing for the punish-
inent of persons therein residing without the
license of the Governor, and without taking
an oath of altogianco to the State, are declared
null and void, as contrary to the constitution,
treaties, and laws of the United States.
Tho opinion of the Chief Justice was very
elaborate and clear. He took a review of
the origin of tho European lillo to lands in
America, upon the ground of discovery. He
established that this right was merely conven
tional among the European Governments
themselves, and for their owu guidance, and
the regulation of their own claims in regard to
each other, and in no respect changed or af
fected to change the rights of the Indians as
occupants of the soil. That the only effect
Of the European title was, ns between Euro
pean nation,, to recognise an exclusive right
of trade and mtercouse with the Indians, and
of ultimate domain in the territories occupied
by the Indians in favor of the nation or govern-
dent whose subjects were the first discovered.
That all the European governments, Spain,
Prance, and especially Great Britain, had uni
formly recognised tho Indian tribes and na
tions as distinct communities, capable of, and
entitled (b, self government, ns States, and
in no respect, except as to thoir right of in
tercourse with other European nations,and the
right of pre-emption in tho discoverers, to pur
chase their soil, as under the control or pow
er of the Europeans. They were treated as
nations capable of holding and ceding their
territories, capable of making treaties and
compacts, and entitled to all tho ppwers of
pcaco and war, and not as conquered or en
slaved communities. He demonstrated this
from various historical facts; and showed
that when upon the Revolution the United
Colonies succeeded to tho rights and claims
of tho mother country, tho American Congress
uniformly adopted and adhered to the snme
doctrine, both before and after tho confedera
tion ; that sinco the adoption of tho constitu
tion, tho same doctrino hud as uniformly pre
vailed in nil the departments of the govern
ment ; and that the treaties with tho Indians
were held to bo treaties, and obligatory in the
same sense as troalios botwcon Europoan
sovereigns. He showed, also, that this had
been tho established course of things recogni
zed by Georgia herself, from tho adoption of
the Constitution down to ths year 1829, as ev
idenced by her solemn acts, compacts, and
laws. He then showed that by the Constitu
tion the exclusive power bolonged lo the Uni
ted Slates to regulate intercourse with the In
dians, and to receive cessions of their lands ;
and to make treaties with them. That the
independence of the state governments had
bean constantly upheld ; that tho right ol pos
session to tlietr land was solemnly guaranteed
by the United States and by Irenties with them,
until that title should, with their own consont,
be extinguished, and that tho laws passed by
Congress had regulated the trade and inter
course with them accordingly. lie now re
viewed the laws of Georgia in question, and
pronounced them to be repugnant to the Con
stitution, treaties, and laws, of the United
States. And he concluded by maintaining
that tho party defendant in the present indict
ffwnt was entitled to the protection of the Con'
etilution, treaties, and laws, of tho United
States ; and that Georgia had no authority to
extend her laws over tho Cherolteo country,
or to punish the defendant for disobedioneo to
thoso laws in the Cherokee country.

opinion, concurring, in all things, in tho opin'
ion of the Court. Mr. Justieo Baldwin dig.

a mischief infinitely greater than ariv evil
r em which can possibly follow from such
concession T __ We live in e small county our-
selves, and therefore, most anxiously wish to
avoid this consummation.
Tho County of Hancock has already pro-
posed that the people take this matter of Re
duction in their own hands. Tho people were
to meet on Monday last to receive the report
of a committee appointed at a previous meet
ing. Can it be doubted that the other large
counties will follow the example of Hancock ?
Read the extracts below from the Present-
ments of the Grand Jury of Clark County.
We say ngaip, let the small counties take
warning in time ; make timely concessions to
the immutable principle of justice, and in the
proper spirit; and thus avoid the risk of losing
by necessity what, bv a contrary course, they
might have kept. Remember the fierce strug
gle between the slave-holding, and non-slave-
holding counties in Virginia, and the result of
that struggle, as regards Ihe latter.—Georgia
Journal.
(Here follow Extracts from the Athenian.]
We observe that the Grand Jury of Clark
county, taking int,n consideration Ihe growing
evil of a superfluous number of Legislators,
have recommended a convention to bo held
at Milledgevillc, on the first Monday in June
next, for tho purpose of lakiog into considera
tion the subject of a reduction of the mem
bers of the Legislature of Georgia, and pro
pose to the people such a amendments to the
constitution, rotating tn the subject of reduc
tion, nnd that alone, as they in their judgment
may think proper. We do earnestly hope,
that this recommendation will moot wiih tho
attention, the importance of the object contem
plated to be accomplished, deserves, nnd that
evory county in tho Stnle will bo represented
in this Convention. Upon the subjert of re
duction, it -s very elenr that the reprosenla-
tivcs of the people have not consulted the
wishes of their constituents. It is perhaps
unreasonable to expect from a body of men,
who cheerfully sacrifice time, comfort and
convenience tn attain thn hiah honor of a seat
in the legislature a willingness to adopt mea
sures calculated to abridge their opportunities
of obtaining the dignity. The source of nil
honors, the people, then must take the sub
ject in consideration, and veto tho apothegm
of Solomon, who had not the Legislature of
Georgia in contemplation when lie uttered the
law “ in the multitude of counsellors there is
wisdom.”—Macon Messenger.
We have repeatedly said that a political un
ion would at last take place,between Mr. Clny
and Mr. Cnlhoun. The concert in which
these gentlemen and their friends acted in re
jecting Mr. Vati Buren—fortified our predic
tion—which is the more confirmed, when we
find their names nssociated often -in “ union
sweet”—in tho Telegraph—<*, g “ft is known
that during tnedark periods of ihe late war no
two individuals did more than Mr. Calhoun:
and Mr. Clay to rouse the energies of thn na
tion,” also the two statesmen may coalesce
but we doubt whether the people of the Unhed
States will bear it, any more than they tolera
ted another political partnership which led to
the bankruptcy of all concerned. We wonder

great felicity of language, end tnpat apposite
ly and appropriately did he apply if. We
have never seen a happier display nl'exiiunpo-
ranenua eloquence than is exhibited m this
speech. The just nnd forcible dofence which
Mr. Foriyth made for the Uoion'party of this
Slate, so wantonly, so inappositely and so
awkwardly attacked by Mr. M< deserves the
gratitude and respect, not only of every friond
of the Union in South Carolina, but every
friend to her reputation, whether a Union man
or not. Rumor says .that Mr. F. will be sent
to England—We hope not; for though we
know he would do honor In his country, and
though we shall always rejoice to aoo him in
any station that would gratify himself—be
cause we should know him capable of filling
it with usefulness to the country, we should
regret to see him leave Ihe Senate. There is
just the place where he is most wanted alibis
conjuncture.—Camden (S. C.) Journal.
Tho Debate in the House of Representa
tives, a sketch of which will bo found in this
paper, augurs n revival of nil tbo anxieties
and troubles of the Missouri question. The
disturbers of the Union in the North now be
gin to play their part more visibly. They
fear the Tariff is not sufficient, of itfielf, tn
drivo the South-to violence. And now they
would mingle tho Indian controversy with ihb
other Southern grievances, in such a way as
to make it the most savage warfare that ever
Imrrnssed Ihe country.
Wo regret that tho recent decision of the
Supremo Court has been hastened, so as to
bring that tribunal into the conflicts of parly.
The question, we hoped, would have been
postponed, until the HI*,iris making hv the Ex-
eeutive of tho Union, lo close all difficulties
arising out of tho Indian title in, Georgia
might have prevailed, by extinguishing the ti-
ilu itself. — Washington Globe.

Sorrow, nay to thoir lasting and irreparable in

what w« now say, and reflect soriously upon
it. If reform is put off until the Worth Wes

counties viU have, most probably, to submit to
a system of rejiresentation, in which they wilt
be deprived of their weight arising from the
three fifths-of thtir black population. VVe have

Mr. Forsyth, of Georgia.—The speet-lies
of this gentleman on (lie nomination <>f Mr.
Van Buren, aro in our estimation, bolter be
yond comparison than any that were delivered
on that occasion. We feel, and huvo all
along felt u very strong inclination to publish
them batli; but to do so without publishing
some at least of the speeches on tho other
side, would bo unfair; nnd as to filling this
littlo paper with interminable matters of this
sort, we cannot nnd will not do it. Wo have
more than once declared that this is not a do
cumentary paper, and we cannot make it so
without divesting it of all its interest lo ovnry
one but tho mere politician; and polt'icians
do not by any moans mnko up a majority of
its readers. We would assuredly, howc cr,
placo the socond of Mr. Forsyth’s speeches
before our* readers, if it did not involve the
necessity of previously publishing Ihe speech
of Mr. Miller, one of our senators, to which
Mr. F.’s speech is a reply. Mr. Miller’s is
loo long nnd tvo cannot spare room for it—
Wo do not believe there is in the whole range
of Congressional history, a choicor specimen
of deep and withering criticism than Mr. For
syth’s response to Govornor Miller. It is a
complete demolition—an absolute conflagra
tion of Ihe citadel. Tho Georgian actually
walks over our Senator with a tread that docs
not leavo even ” any visible dost upon tho
surface.” Liho.lho potent coup dt grace of
tho pugilistic champion, he has so effectually
“ knocked hi t antagonist into nothing,” that
there was nought left upon the floor where ho
stood, but a. grease spot. Mr. Miller so lar
from making n coherent speech against Van
Buren, strung together a series of isolated
denunciations of Andrew Jackson, and oftbe
Union party o| this Slate ; and (ho speech us
published has not oven the merit of decorous
phraseology, or correct English. We are in
hnpes however, that the grammatical enormi
ties are chargeable upon Duff Green ; for as
it stands printed in the public papers, there is
not a school boy of the fourth form in the
country, that would not snicker over its litera
ry mistakes. Mr. Forsyth, however, sought
higher gamo than dialectics, though be glanced
at now and then a simile of our Ex-Governor
and the language in which they were clothed,
with inimitable force and felicity, and which
must havo afforded whole tote of enjoyment
to the rest of tho Senate. But the Georgia
Senator, confine ! himself principally to the
assertions nf the South Carolina gentleman,

I N issuing proposals for publishing a new paper in

»ocm to combine, lo In.Iitnfrom us some expusil ion of
the circumstances which have urged ns to the attempt,
as well ns a brief outline of tho principles hy which we
will be governed in our course. This talk we perform
cheerfully.
The population of tho Stale is rapidly incrcniing; her
syan-in of Internal tinpruroneol at its nascent petind
of exiitencej her jurisdictional limits ar tnally nnd pros
pectively extending; her chartered rights and Indian
relationships assuming new and deeply interesting as
pects; and her financial resources presenting to her
sons Ih e appalling alternative ofoppreeeiun in future by
hurtheneomn taxes, or bankruptcy without some salu
tary change in liar representative apportionment, all
combine lo rendet an additional Herald of intelligence
to the present number altogether proper.
B”' theen by no meins constitute the whole cata
logue of inducements. Ours is palpably a government
in experiment. Tho principles ami terms upon which
it was based, wtro professedly novel, and by conse
quence it would be fairtn nsscrl that they were not al
together understood. The progress of events has de-
nintistratcd this truth. Tin- constitutionality nf a na
tional Bank; a system of Internal Improvement by
Congrnas; the power to lax foreign import* for the
protection of domestic industry; in abort the whole fa
bric of implication, remninsyet to undergo its final and
legitimate analysis. They are topic* which mutt tRt-
laln, and that deeply, every patriotic bosom in the con
federacy. To maintain the honor nnd rights of the
Elate under her cnstitutioDnl reservation ; lo remon
strate with promptitude and firmnera of purpose against
all infractions of the compact, end preserve the
Union by enlightened discussion or imional compro
mise, according to the plan of Jefferson and Jackson,
shall be our constant aim. Our columns shall also
contain as far aa practicable, important items of intel
ligence in the departments of morals, literature, and
science. In our Stuto politics it would be impossiblc
undcr our present.impreesions, to adopt the principles
