THE CHEROKEES,
The Millcdgcville Federal Union of the Olh
instant, says:—“ It is not doubted, that the failure
of the late campaign in Florida has emboldened
the Creeks to plunder and destroy the property,
Arid to shed the blood of the whites. Under this
state of things, it is the part of prudence to observe
the Chcrokces with a watchful and suspicious
eye, even though they might appear to bo quiet
and peaceable. But they have in fact given
strong indications of hostility, which cannot safe
ty he overlooked Since the failure of the Florida
■ campaign, and the temporary success of the Creeks
in Alabama, and on our western fiontier, the
Chcrokecsin Murray , and other counties in which
they ate numerous, have become sulky and inso
lent in their demeanor, and have declared that
they will bum the houses of the whites, and do
ns much damage as possible. The Ross men say,
that Ross has told them that their land should
never be sold ; and that rather Utah leave it, as
required by the treaty, and by the laws of Georgia,
they will die fighting on it. It is believed by
those who are well acquainted with them, that all
the chiefs who signed the late treaty will be put to
Ly n— —i-i cra ;r ih.-y venture
to return to their homes. During the last few
Weeks, about three hundred Creeks have made a
lodgment in the Coosawattce valley, in the coun
ty of Murray. Os this party, the men (how nu
merous, vvcarc not informed) are well armed with
rifles. They avoid intercourse with the whites,
Mid arc suspected of exasperating the Cherokecs.
/Our citizens in those thinly settled regions arc just
ly alarmed it the dangers which surround them ;
and many families think of abandoning their
homes, and seeking safety at a distance from these
savages.”
The Southern Whig of the 4t!l Instant, con
tains the following letter, received from “ a highly
respectable gentleman of Gainesville,”:
“ Gainesville, 2d June, 1836.
Mr. J. W. Jones —
Sir—l am sorry to inform you, that I have
some cause to change my opinion with regard tc
the Cherokee Indians, since I wrote you last
Dick Taylor & Sou reached here on Tuesday
night last, from Washington City, much dissatisfi
ed with the ratification of the Treaty and young
Taylor repeatedly said there would be blood shed
I am of the opinion that nothing but the interfer
ence of John Ross, will prevent a war between
the parties; viz: Ridges’ and Ross.’ Jhe peo
ple are becoming alarmed in many places, and
particularly about Dahlohnega. Allen Mathews
arrived here yesterday evening, with his family
and says several other families speak of coming in
Vet I can scarcely believe there is danger.”
MR. PINCKNEY’S REPORT.
M e again earnestly recommend this Report to
the attention of our readers, that they may see
= how decidedly its arguments tend to shew the
absence of any constitutional right, on the part
of Congress, to interfere with Slavery in the Dis
i- trict of Columbia, notwithstanding that the main
ie purpose and elfect of the Report, as contained in
t, the Resolutions, is virtually to yield to it the
it constitutional right to interfere!—merging all
arguments against the right, in a question of
propriety and expediency, and using those ar
guments merely to oppose the propriety and ex
~ pediency of interfeiing at present, and under pro
| sent circumstances! Can a more vicious, im
quitious, and treacherous purpose be conceived,
particularly on the part of one who believes that
Congress has no constitutional right to interfere!
I- —for Mr. Pinckney not only shews by Ids ar
ie gnmnnts that he believes so, hut pledged himself
1 . to Mr. Wise and others, that he would cither
r; . incorporate n plain and distinct declaration to
le t |iat efiect in the Report, or make no report at
c all; and denied, in his appeal to his constituents
(as we judge from what we have seen written to
that effect, not having seen the appeal,) that he
had conceded, or designed to concede, to Con
s gress, the Constitutional right to interfere.
:d In that portion of his argument published on
n Wednesday, he says: “Can any reason whatever
be given for the abolition of slavery in this par
's ticular District, which docs not apply with equal
w force to every other slave-holding section of the
country !”— ffe —believing that Congress has
IP no more constitutional right to abolish it fherei
than in the Stales —answer decidedly, No!
But does not the constitutional right give a
“reason” for the distinction ; and have not you,
o who ask this question, plainly conceded that
right, and therefore the “reason,” also !—Who
would believe that the very man who admits the
r right, would have the consummate impudence,
while doing so, to ask such a question !
rt Ho argues, and clearly shews, that no right
over slavery in the District, more than in lire
States, and no ‘exclusive jurisdiction,” beyond
that necessary to protect itself and its proceedings,
o and piomote the usual local interests of the Dis
j trict, was contemplated, as given (o Congress, by
that clause of the Constitution authorizing it to
„ accept the cession of the District territorythat
no such cession would have been made had any
right over slavery been claimed; that such a
• right, in the District, Would make a complete
nullity of the constitutional exemption of the
0 Stales from such right, since the exercise of it
would “be most dangerous and destructive to the
’ security and interests of tire two slave-holding
N Slates” which ceded that District; and cqual
-11 ly so to “ all the other slave-holding mem
bers of the Union that the power of “ex
clusive legislation’ was given to be exercised for
beneficial purposes, only, and cannot, therefore,
’’ be exercised, consistently with the public faith,
[qu. Constitution,] for any object that is at war
with the great principles on -which the Govern
ment itself is founded j" that “the Constitution
must bo taken as a whole," and “wherever a par
ticular power is granted, (he extent to which it
may he carried, can only lie inferred from other
provisions, by which it may he rcgulalcd or res
trained;” that, as u-god by the Supreme Court,
“an act of the Legislature, contrary to the great
first principles of the social compact, cannot be
0 considered a rightful exercise of Legislative
authority ” —such “as a law that destroys or im
-3 pairs the obligation of lire lawful private con
tracts of citizens,” or “ takes property from A.
and gives it to B.”; that “ the legislature cannot
violate the rights of an antecedent lawful private
contract [for a slave, for instance,] ortho right of
private [slave] property j” tliat “ every principle
’ here affirmed by (ho court, applies to, and protects,
the people of this District, as well as the people
f
of the Stales," and “every right and interest
secured by the constitution, to the people of the
Stales, is equally secured to the people of the
District-," that “it is a well settled constitutional
I'
principle, that “private property shall not he tak
en for public use, without just compensation;”
that “no greater degree of slavery exists in the
District, than when the constitution was adopted,
and the inhabitants of tire District were citizens
of Maryland and Viiginia, and had a voice in its
adoption ;” and “surely their subsequent transfer
j to the jurisdiction of Congress, in conformity
with that constitution, could not deprive them of
’ the protection to which they were entitled, by
the great leading principles of it;” and “they
s had every right Id expect that Congress would
t ‘establish justice,’ as to them, in strict compli
-1 mice with the great charter under which it acted,
and by which it is forbidden to interfere with
j their rights of private property, without their
g consent, or in any way to affect, injuriously, their
c domestic institutions ;” that the constitution was
! adopted “to form a more perfect Union, establish
justice, ensure domestic tranquility, and provide
t for the common defence and general welfare;”
j and the abolition of slavery in the District, so far
t from promoting any of these objects, would on
] danger the Union, violate justice, destroy domes
s tic tranquility, injure the general welfare, and re
j quire an increase of means for the common dc
y fence, in conscqnbhce of it;” that the constitu
te tion requires congress to “suppress insurrections,”
0 and “protect each State against domestic violence,”
c WIiUU »»WUld W 1" JIIOHUV-Vtlun
v and domestic violence; that “Congress is hound
a by every principle of duty, which forbids it to
i- interfere with slavery in any of the States, to
I. abstain from any similar interference in the Die
l! trict of Columbia" that the abolition of slave
. ry in the District, would boa “direct interference,
5. as regards the rights and property of tire Southern j
(. States ;” that “not only many eminent statesmen,
. hut all of the slave-holding States, speaking '
r through their Legislative assemblies, firmly be
e lievc and insist that the cession so made [of the
District, to the U. Stales,] has conferred upon
i. Congress no constitutional power to abolislr sla
y very within the ceded territory ;” that “Congress,
as the Legislature of the Union, can have no
constitutional power over this subject, and its
powers, as a local Legislature of the District,
, e were granted for the mere purpose of rendering
0 in, genera! powers perfect, and free from collision
t- with State authorities and that "the abolition 1
y of slavery in the District of Columbia, would be
j, a violation of the trust reposed in Congress, as
,g the local Legislature of the District, “and also an
3, equal violation of the trust reposed irt that body,
r- as the Legislature of the Union.”
n Yes, thus he, Mr. Pinckney, argues against |
j- the mere propriety and expediency of abolish
d ing slavery in the District of Columbia ; and al- j
s though, as will have been seen, he liases all his j
jr, argUmcntson the constitution, and they goplain
n. ly to show the absence of any constitutional right,
on the part of Congress, to that effect, and often
| a direct violation of it, in doing so, yet lie never j
3 1 brings the reader to any such conclusion, or char
" ges even a violation of the spirit of that iustru
-2 mcnl; and at length concludes with resolutions
t virtually admitting the constitutional right to
* abolish in the District!—The shameless, reckless
I renegade! A more barefaced, impudent, and
1 obvious surrender and sacrifice of constitutional
2 right, knowingly and wilfully, we have never
* seen ; and we are not more disgusted and indig-
nant at the vile treachery itself, than astonished
at the open, palpable, and shameless disregard of
truth and fairness, witlr which it is consummated.
THE GREAT MATCH RACE.
, Wo return our thanks to the intelligent and
; respected friend, who was so kind os to fivor us
i with the following highly interesting account of
. the great race between John Bascombe and Post
f Boy —and anxiously hope to have the pleasure
. and profit.of frequently hearing from him again, ,
i during his slay at the North :
New York, Ist June, 1836.
Dear Sir .-—Yesterday, the great Match Race, |
, between tire South and the North, came off on (
the Long Island Course.— John Bascombe, the (
vanquisher of Argyle at the South, had travelled (
since the middle of April, upwards of 800 miles,
with a change of water and food, to meet the
, best horse North of the Potomac—the horse ,
above all others, in which the North confided. ,
lie had been proven much the superior of all that (
had competed with him, and was believed, I may
say universally believed, to he the best horse in .
the United Stales by all Northern sportsmen.
The weather had been bad, cold, and rainy,
for a week, and in the morning the N. E.- wind
was high, but unaccompanied by rain. The |
Course had become dry, and in fine order. Each
party declared his horse to bo in “lip top order,” j
and saved nothing on which to bend an apology (
in case of defeat—and I never witnessed so much
candor and confidence on any like occasion, as
was manifested by both. Bets, for a week pre- 1
viously, had been oflered and accepted freely, of |
$1,500 to SI,OOO, ih favor of Post Boy— and j
up to Monday night llib odds increased, till, in ,
many casds, two to one had bo n given and ac- (
cepted. The Southerners, seeing so rritrch con
fidence exhibited liy the North, in Post Boy,
held hack for these odds, till tiro morning of the ,
Race, when the friends of Bascombe came out ,
stoutly and numerously—and bets, at odds,
(whether from lees confidence in their horse,
less firmness in their nerves, or having gone the
extent of their bets, by the North,) became
scarce, very scarce —and soon after it wasdiffi
cult to get any. Even within an hour of the 1
starling odds began to be offered of 10 to 9 in '
favor of Bascombe, and finally got to 10 to S he- 1
fore they started—and few of Post Boy’s friends
would take them. They came to the stand, Post
Boy on the inside, and hud a pretty fair start— 1
Post Boy In the lead. .Bascombe soon put forth,
and passed him in the first quarter of the mile—
leaving him about two or three lengths of clear
light, except when the rider of Post Boy atlomp-’ '
led to come up, which Willis, who rode Bus
combe, did not mean to allow; and as soon as 1
the gap would he dosed by Post Bay, he would
put off and open it, apparently and palpably with ,
the utmost case. Yet Post Boy pressed very .
much the 3d and 4lh miles of the heat, but all to
no purpose. Bascombe was entirely easy all the
time ; and to shew the world what ho could do,
he van the last mile in one minute and 50 seconds.
Post Boy was about 40 yards behind, and pulled
up at the post —saving all in his power.— Time,
7m. 495.
The backers and friends of Post Bay now be
gan to complain of his being “out of order”—
“having been indulged”—and “made sore,” &c.
Sic, —Ho was evidently distressed more than his
antagonist, who cooled off handsomely, and in a
short time exhibited no sighs of having boeh in
the race. After the Usual lime, the trumpet
called them again to the stand, and when in the '
act of starling, it was discovered that the gates
across the track had not been opened, which
made some delay, and in bringing tip the horses .
a second time, the turner of Post Boy was 1
slow, and hold Ilia horse, though Bascombe was
let go. The tap of the drum not having been ,
given, he had to be reined up, and brought hack,
which took some time. Meanwhile, the rider of
Post Boy dismounted, and the blanket was
thrown over him to protect him from the wind. 1
They had then a fair start— Bascombe half a •
length in the lead, which he desired to maintain,
buj Past Boy How began to shew hit game stock,
and pressed hard, keeping cither side by side I
with him, or only half a length aback, for 3 miles
and three quarters —in the last quarter of which, ;
he went ahead, hut coil'd not hold his lead.—
Bascombe passed him, and ran ahead the whole '
of the last quartet of the fourth mile—beating
him, and winning the Race by two lengths of
clear light.— Time, 7m. 50Js.
When it is considered that Bascombe carried
twelve pounds more weight, than in the race
with Argyle, and performed both heats ill such
remarkably short lime, he must be considered
equal or superior to any horse in America, or
perhaps in Furopo—especially when hi sfeetness
and bottom lulvo both been so fully tested.
After the first heat, I was confident that Has
combe could have distanced Post Boy, as he did
Argyle —and ho could undoubtedly have made
me nrst neat in 4 or o seconds less time, lor the
first mile of lint heat, had consumed 2 minutes
1 and 8 seconds—hocauso Post Boy would not
1 run up with him. But the performance of Post
Boy in the second heat, the time considered
withal, compels me to alter that opinion, and to
I believe him to be a Race Horse, inferior to very
1 few, whether for heels or bottom. I pretend to j
- j very little experience in such matters, hut few
j hotses could have Stood, equal to him, the press
he boro for the last six miles of the rare ; which
! were made under whip and spur, at the very
height of his speed.
The Northerners bore their defeat rather un
i graciously. Silence and quiet prevailed almost
* entirely. Had they witnessed the deportment of
■ Col. Hampton, and his friends, when Argyle
, was defeated, they might have taken a useful
! lesson ; but they arc not of that kind of material.
' They had lost their money, and they wore dia
' [ satisfied.
: Batween the heats, the Rider’s Saddle which
s had been awarded to Ectip-e, When he beat
i Henry, was brought to the Judge's stand, to he
, awarded to the winner—and it is now in posses
! monos the South. Long may it remain so.
II The result of this race will not tend much to
■ j relieve the money market in Wall-street, where
- { the Banks keep up a dreadful pressure. The
, | Democracy, or rather the ‘’Democratic Party”
-j of the nation, have placed upwards of Twelve
! Millions of Dollars here, in the hands of a few
i favorites (the directors of three Banks,) who are
ikM BvitSTA oqnoiyiox,)a.,
1 making immense fortunes from it, by stiaving tho
real Democracy, or the people—and each revolu
tion of tire wheel only sinks their victims deeper,
and enables them to take stronger hold upon
them,
I perceive no relief for the people. They arc
resolved to have a master, and to yield to his
dictation; and until heartily sick of the fleecing
they suffer, there is no use in the attempts of any
portion, to resist.
Who could believe that the people of Georgia,
for instance, would prefer that the public money
should Be thus used by these Vampyres, to hav
ing it divided among the States ; by which their
share would be nearly SBOO,OOO, to be expended
for their own Iwncfit, in Internal Improvements, i
or Education, Ac. Ac.—instead of a deposit in 1
two of the Banks of tile Stale, not exceeding J
$200,000 together—and which will be called to ]
the North whenever a pretext can be made for I
the measure.
Do they not perceive that all the money (I
mean Gold and Silver) in the country, will, be
fore the end of another twelve-month, be in the I
control of these parasites of the Government! !
Can they not foresee the evil—the immense evil
of such a state of things ! Will they continue (
to support the men in Congress who dare to sup
port such measures 1 Alas! I fear they will. (
The spell is upon them, and they will not Open
their eyes to behold the danger that threatens, i
that must destroy them. They will permit—aye,
support the measure, which will place Sixty
Millions of Dollars, all the money in the country,
at the disposal of the Secretary of the Treasury,
and his parasites. The best paper that can be
made in this city, by men worth millions, can ho
bought in Wall-street at 18 to 24 per cent per an
num ; and the rate increases, and will continue to
increase, us the people fall more and more into
the power of these bloodsuckers. These things
are supposed to he hut temporary; and this rale
is paid from day to day, and from month to month,
under the hope of relief at last. But will that
arrive I —never —never!—lt la in the power, and
it is the interest, of the Deposit Banka, to prevent
relief. So long as they can obtain 20 per cent,
can it bo expected of them to loan at 7 per cent!
And, holding millions of public money, by which
all the other Banks are kept indebted to them,
they will not permit those olhor Banks to afford
the relief, even were they so inclined j hut they
are not. They are willing, and ready, too, to get
20 per cent aa long as they arc permitted, and
more when they may.
Nothing can withstand such oppression. Even
the immense prosperity of this immense and in
creasing cily cannot endure it—and, sooner or
later, ruin must result. ’Twill he, however, hut
the changing, and that gradually, of properlv
from the hands of the many to the few. The
rich will he richer, and the poor made poorer.
New York Will atlhtct the wealth from all the
other Slates, by the use of the money which be
longs alike to all; and that wealth will ho con
centrated in the hands of a few.”
