Lounuzna included any of the territory to the west of
the Rocky mountain*.. In an rite dunj^ilet written
by Mr. FaJeotoeT, an extract from the inctructions of
Lonin the Fourteenth to Mcwlfct Croxtt- is given,
and from these inetraetiocs it dees not appear that
Louisiana extended at that period bo Outs the Bock;

do; and 9
the Mississippi, the Missouri and the Ohio;
r.as placed under the authority of the French gov
ernor of Canada. That is the description given by
Louis the Fourteenth in his instructions) and it does
not appear from them that Louisiana comprised any
territory extending beyond the Rocky mountains, nor
docs the treaty of 1763, either in express terms or by
implication refer to any place beyond the Rocky
toonatains. (Hear, hear.]
Now as the first half of thi* paragraph is reported
somewhat differently mother London journals, we
have no disposition to render Lord John Russell re
sponsible for the munenms mistakes which he ie here
represented as having made, with regard to the terri
tories assigned to England and France respectively,
by the treaty of Paris, ft is indeed possible, that m
the early part of the negocistkm between the Duke
of Bedford and the Doe de Qioisesl, there nay hare
been diseusaioos as to the line of separation between
Canada, which had been conquered by Great Britain,
and Loistana, of which Fiance still remained in pos
session; bat the treaty of Paris makes no allusion to
such boundaries. By that treaty, France surrender
ed to Great Britain all her possessions east of a line
drawn along the Mississippi, from its source to the
river Iberville, anddown the latter stream, and the
takes Maurepas and Pontchatrain, to the sea; which
!ir.e,wn»“irrevocably fixed” as “the confines be
tween tho dominions of his Britanic majesty, and
Ihosc of his most Christian Majesty in that part of
the world;” without regard to the question whether
any of the territories thus ceded had previously be

- Now, itis scarrely necessary to say that no inch
stipulations or any thing like them, are to he found
in the Louisiana treaty; in which wo all .know that
the only weeds' respecting the limits at the tern-
ceded to the United States are “ the colony or

in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France
possessed it, and such as it should be after the treaties
subsequently entered into between Spain and other
States,” and that no further description of the limits
could ever he obtained from the French government
Yet, upon this assumption, Mr Falconer endeavors,
in many pages of his pamphlet to prove the medita
ted bad faith of the American government, in thus
according to his views, causing a stipulation lobe in
serted in the treaty with Fiance in 1803 with the ex
press object of appropriating to itself a territory bor
dering on the Pacific, to which it had no just chum.
Whether these representations, made by Falconer,
and sustained by Lord John Russell, proceeded from
ignorance, or from predetermination, we are not au
thorized to express an opinion. They should, how
ever, render our fellow-citizens more cautious in ad-
mitting, as decisive, what proceeds from the British
government, than the 'observations of many of our

Mississippi and the Iroqnoi*,” m the treaty. On the
day of the signature of the preliminaries to this trea
ty, Fiance ceded to Spain all tho territory left to her
in North America: that is to say, all that portion of
tho continent, then called Louisiana, which extended
westward from the Mississippi ami the Iberville, to a
distance undefined at the time, as the regions beyond
the vicinity of the great rivers still remained unex
plored.' This will serve to explain what Lord John
llusscll seems not to have himself clearly understood,
from the’tenns need by him in the first paragraph
above quoted. The noble speaker seems also to have
a very indistinct idea of the geography of the country,
when he says that from the instructions (meaning
probably, tlio charter) of Louis XIV to Crozat, “ it
dues not appear that Louisiana extended to the Rocky
mountainswhile he, at the same time admits that
it “ extended to the countries washed by the Missis
sippi, the Missouri, and the Ohio.” That Louisiana
- was placed under the authority of the French gen
eral govern of Canada” in 1763 or at any time alter
1717, is tho repetition of a misstatement made by the
British writers alter the conquest of Canada, in order
to favor the claim of that nation to the whole regions
of tho Ohio, the Mississippi, and the Missouri, then
,-oinmnnly called the Illinois, as embraced within the
limits of the coquered province.
As to the question whether Louisiana included any
territory west of the Rocky mountains, the American
itcrature or science must be given with
more circumspection, when the great interests of our
notion are concerned.
To conclude with regordto tho claim of the United
States to Oregon, founded on tbo possession of Lou
isiana, we conceive that we have placed it in the pro
per light. For ourselves as humble citizens of the re
public, wc conceive that our government cannot safe
ly withdraw this claim, unless Great Britain with
draws her pretentions: founded on tho supposed con
tinuation westward, of the Hudson’s Bay territories or
Canada.

and Flint Rail Road, published in tlie-Ap
alachicola Advertiser, of the 12th inst, will
receive our attention next week.
g jvcrnmcnt at first, made no expression of its views.
nf ‘ " ~ “
8ut when the British Govcrnme.it attempted to cx-
fend its sovereignty westward, over the northern part
if not the whole of Oregon, denying to the United
States any rights beyond the Rocky mountains, and
e ven endeavoring to restrain them within limits far
ther eastward, the American Government maintain-
,«1 its rights on the same ground of continuity to ex
tend the sovereignty of the republic westward to the
I’aeifie. If the possession of Great Britain, in virtue
of tlio charter to her Hudson's Bay Company, of the
territories drained by streams edtering the lay, is to
entitle her to those adjoining beyond the Rocky moun
tains, then, by the same rme.tne United States shall
possess the regions adjoining Louisiana on the west,
" ’ ■ t dir - ' ' ' ' '
as far in that direction os the British claim extends.
This is what the United States demanded; and can
any just objection be made to the demand? The
British government refuses to assent to the proffered
extension of the boundary west of tho Rocky moun
tains; and call* on the United States to produce their
proof that Louisiana embraced tho countries farther
west, without advancing any evidence a-liatsoevcr in
support of her own claims on similar grounds.
On t'
i the same point, in another place, Lord John
Russell says:
“ But there arc other transactions upon which the
committee of the House of Representatives have
founded some claims, and which I think are not valid
to sustain those claims. It uppers that they had sur
rendered by France, in 1803, by the session of Lou
isiana, all the rights which France possessed with
respect to Louisiana; and subscqnsnuy be the treaty
of 1819, when the Floridos were given to the United
.Slates; they had the cession of the claims of Spain.
But unless the rights of France and Spain extended
over these countries, it is manifest that no cession of
this kind could convey a title from those who did not
possess countries to whom it was pretended they
belonged. [Hear, hear.] Itis stated in a pamph
let which I have here, and which is an American
publication, that the purchase of Louisiana included
all the lands on the east side of tbo Mississippi not
then belonging to the United states, as far as the
great chain of mountains which divide- the waters
running into the Pacific and those foiling into the
Atlantic ocean; and from tho said chain to the Pa
cific ocean between tlio territory claimed by Great
Britain on the one side, and Spain on the other. To
this I say that unless Louisiana did include any part
of that territory to the west of the Rocky mountains,
them can be no valid claim. Ijoub-iana never did in
clude such a territory, and therefore this article is
useless. But suppose it were a valid article: it
growtl^ These lands arp moro diffi-

would only give them the territory between what was
claimed by Great""
t Britain on the one side, and by
•Npain cm the other. It does not say * to what Great
Britain has made good her claim, or which is ac
knowledged to he ben, but only that part which is
claimed, by Great Britain.”*
Wo suspect his lordship, or the reporter of his
speech, to be mistaken as to the origin of the Pamph
let to which he refers. It was mast probably hot an
American publication, but the same pamphlet on
“ the Oregon Question,” by Mr Falconer, on which
he bestows such high conmtcmhtioii. In that pamph
let we find thefc words:
“In 1803, with the consent of Bonaparte,.then
Bint Consul, Inufeihra was sold to the United states
, for eleven millions of dollars. The purchase in

Georgia.
The country bordering upon the Flint
River, is the ino6t fertile which wc have
ever seen, compared with its general ap
pearance, and presents many advantages
to all classes of emigrants,'who.wish to
cultivate the soil.’ Not the least of' these
to the poor man, and those of small pecu
niary means is the low price of lands, and
the case with which they arc put in culti
vation. Good pine land may he purchased
at one dollar per. acre, the produce of which
would astonish those who were not previ
ously acquainted with their productiveness.
These lands, arc generally covered with a
luxuricnt growth of broad blade grass, and
nrc free from undergrowth, so that they
may be used for pasture, or they may be
broken up by the plow for cultivation, at
the rate of one acre per -day, by a single
horse, with no other previous preparation
than the belling of tbc trees, and the bur
ning of any timber which may have fallen
upon the ground.
Land prepared in this manner, in the
summer or fall, will produce a good crop
llic next year.
Timber is plenty, of the best kind for
fencing and for building log houses, which
may be done without the expenditure of a
dollar in money.
Cattle, bogs and sheep do well through
the year, with no other food than that
which they obtain m the woods, from the
spontaneous bounties of nature. Wc have
conversed with several large stock owners
who agree that cattle in tho “range,” will
pay by their increase, a profit of from 20
to 30 per cent.
These lands lie sufficiently level, arc
easily cultivated,, and produce every varie
ty of grain and roots in common use, bc-
The two Conventions.
From every part of the Stole, wo hear
the busy bum of preparation for the Demo
cratic Convention, in June; many of the
counties have already appointed their Del

up and doing immediately; let no county
neglect tills great duly, which they owe to

There should be. a full; expression of the

many men whom the people would like to
honor—many who if' elected Governor
would do credit to the State, and the party.
To chose from among so many, all equally
worthy, is no easy task. Forthis reason wc
hope the delegates will go to Millcdgcvillc,
completely free and untrammelled, by in
structions.; ibiihe voice from each section
of the State be heard; and if possible let
the wishes of the majority prevail—let eve
ry Democrat reflect 'that among so many,
who would do honor to the office, all can
not have their first choice; but all will have
an opportunity of voting for some one of
Georgia’s favorite sobs.'.’ Unlike our oppo

Pulaski & Dooly, Senatorial

The Democrats of this district, have
nominated Col. W. S. Whitfield, as a can
didate to represent them in the Senatorial
branch of the next legislature. This is on
excellent selection. With talents that
calls forth the applause of even his politi
cal opponents, Co). Whitfield unites that
suavity of manners, and kindness of heart,
which wins the admiration of all who know
him. Wc have been assured that he will
not loose a Democratic vote in the district.
Dooly County.
Whilst attending Dooly Court last week,
we were supprised and pleased, at the ap
parent wealth and prosperity of that large
and highly respectable county. It is true,
many of the Planters complained that mo
ney was scarce, but they appeared to have
almost every thing else desirable, in abun
dance. Among other indications of pros
perity, we saw many large and fine fields of
wheat, nearly ready for the harvest. They
have not risked all their hopes upon the
everlasting cotton crop. The people begin
to sec that they cannot live on cotton (done.
Another circumstance which wc think,
showed the good sense and taste, of the
people of Dooly—a large number of them
subscribed for the Patriot.
