SUPPLEMENTARY TO No. XV
Further Refutation of the charge agninst
Governor Troup, of disaffection to the
Union.
If Governor Troup, at tho comnic
niont of tho late session of the Legislature
apprehending improper interference i*n the
paitof tho general government, with our
slave property, exhorted the Legislature
before it xv as “ too Inte," “to step fortff
aud having exhausted the argument, to
standby their arm*-," a candid construction
of this recommendation would show, that
lie intended nothing more than to udvise
them, in caso of anv improper attempt
interfere with this species of properly, to be
prepared to repol force by force: No man
can suppose that the Governor meditated
nil invasion of the United States, or eithe
of them. If, in his message of the 7fh Juno,
relating to a s-rnilur subject, he spoke of
the United States choosing between “our
Ciimit* and our love ;” of their clinging to
their “ conceit#,“ nnd ** throwing us off;
and, evdbin case of being so thrown off,
of udoptjkg a “ fraternal" language before
wc separate; it will be perceived by every
man of cemfor, that Governor Treup allu
ded to these events as circumstances great
ly to bo deprecated ; that ho did not by any
means anticipate them with complacency ;
and that he was far from wuhing a resort
to force, except it became uecosnrv in order
to repel a forcible invasion of our rights—
Such invasion too ns would he calculated to
oxoitc a servile war ami endanger the very
existence of Georgia! Now, uliho’ 1 hope
there is not sudfoieut ground lor tho appre
hension* of the Governor, in rclnjjon toiho
views of the general government, upon the
subject of our slave populiltion ; and altlio*
l believo it to be improper, without urgent
necessity, to hold such i language ns Will
familiarize the minds of* the community to
he idea of a dissolution of the Union ; vet
f am by no means certain that the G«-\vr-
'» apprehension* are entirely tinlounde.l
If indeed there is sufficient ground tor the
fears of the Governor, the determination in
timated by him, to oppose, at every cxtrein-
ty, any forcible iiiteiiorencc with our slave
property, is peihaps in accordance w ith the
fouling* of uiiie-touthaof the people of the
Southern country : And yet no man will
vouture tlm opinion tliat the people of the
South are disaffected to the Union. Even
admitting then that the intimation* of the
Governor are pre-nature, they may yet have
n salutary iulliM-n -e in causing the feeling*
and deter uiuation of the Southern country
to he distinctly under*! *od, nnd in timely
apprizing tho general, and the state gov
minority, of those limit* beyond which the
Southern Stales would not porrnit them to
pass!
The evidence* of Governor Troup's at
tachment tot lie Union were presented in
hist number: In this supplement, I
have shewn, that a candid construction of
those plottages which have been supposed
to fix upon him a charge of disaffection
would justify no such conclusion.
From a candid con*idoruti<jp tlo^t of the
pasoa^cH which have been supposed to sus
tain the charge nguiust Gov Troup, of dis-
Hlfof lion to tho Union; from mi examina
tion of the evidences of hi* attachment to
it; from hi* conduct in the council* of»tho
nation, especially during tho Jate contest
with Groat Britain ; and from un examina
tion of liis whole life ; hi* friend* urc fur-
rushed with a triumphant disproof .of tho
liaruo of disaffection, and a triumphant
proof ol hi* attachment to tho Union, a*
ell u* the sootreignty, of the states.
G.
Andrew Raster, being duly sworn, ma
keth oath, that eotue time previous to the
passing of thu first bill for the disposal of
the Western territory of this State, by the
last Legislature, the di-ponent being at Au
gutfla, und conceiving it a step hurtful to tin
country, thought it duty to give hi* thought*
to the representation of hit county, which
wa* Hancock, and accordingly called on
Senator Robert* Tho mat and reprobated the
act, which **id Thomas vindicated—lit;
the deponent told him that it would began
erally thought he waj interested, jf ho vo
ety important ntid delicate charartcr, un
der very peculiar circumstances, it wa*
clearly improper in him, to censure the. acts
of a government to ichidt 4c teas sent in a
spirit of conciliation.
I* it indeed coino to this? Have the
Htatcs indeed dwindled into potty corpora
tion*. to he insulted with impunity by the
agents of the general government ? Is tho
state of Georgia, whose sufferings nud ex
ertions were so great in the rap** of liberty
and independence, und who*e ultucbimuit
to the Union is »o uniform, and so strong;
I ask, is Georgia still a sovereign and inde
pendent state ; nn important end patriotic
member of the greSl American confedera
cy ; or is she to he treated as a mere prov
ince a “ rrbcllwns province,'' of the em
pire ? 1 do not believe thkt things have
come, or are likely to come, to this pass. 1
believe, if thu people and authorities of
Georgia will mnnifest more union among
themselves (at least iu relation to leading
interests) nnd if they will exert « due degree
of firmness tempered with modi ration and
mtience,nil will yet be well. I have not
ost confidence in the general government ;
I am disposed, like Mr Crawford, to let the
pre-cut administration be “judged by its
act* and whatever I may think of some
of its officer* and agents ; however I may
fear these may have been led cstray by cer
tain inon whom / knoee to ho utnong the
most violent partisans and the most disso
lute men among us, l must yet Say, I have
perceived no disposition on the part of the
general government to do iis uuy ultimate
wronu in relation to (ho lately acquired ter
ritory. 'Tistruo, I b«*licvelli(! lt-i riiory might
be surveyed before September, l*)2tj, with
advantage to till the parties in intercut: 1
think it likely also that such a course might
have beob pursued by tho agent* mid offi
cer* of tiie United Statu*, n* would have re
moved the objections of tho#udiau* to tho
immediate survey If, however, tho Uni
ted States authorities take a different view
of the subject; if they brlievo it would bo
an infraction of the treaty ; if they believe
an iiuuicdiato survey would he inc.xped
em in it.self; if they Leliet« tho objections
of* the Indian* are valid, and that those oh-
joctioiyi coeld not be removed* why then
The United State*’authorities have a right to
proceed upon tfioir own construction nftho
treaty, and their own opinion o‘* expedien
cy. I will admit, nnd even contend, that
Georgia as a sovereign state, lias a light t<
decide on her own course of conduct under
the treaty, provided she (loos not violate the
treaty, or infringe the rights of other*: bu
this doc* not deprive thu United States o
their undoubted right tocoiistrue the treaty
so tar a* they are concerned, and to decidi
on their own course of policy. Should th
government of Georgia, and the govern
meat of the United States, he really Holiri
tous, as I trust they are, to preset vo tl
harmony of the Union, I apprehend they
may avoid conflicting constructions of tli
treaty. Should conflicting view* arise,
however, I would again recommend a spirit
ol ibrboarance, conciliation and comprom
iso,that sanative principle which pervade*
our institutions, and which would prove «
sovereign remedy in some of the most for
midable evil* which the United States have
to dread : In the case under consideration,
I am confident it would operate like a charm
in restoring u better state of things t I am
confident that the efflux of a few months
(which cannot for a moment he brought into
competition with the general hurinonv,)
would remove the principal grounds of dif
ficulty : I cannot but hope, indeed, that
they may he removed during the approach
ing scroll of Congress. A* to the idea that
tho treaty may bo annulled; ulthuuglni may
bn entertained and inculcated by the ngciii*
and bv a few unprincipled partisans, who
would sacrifice the interests of the state to
put down Gov. Troup, there appear* t
no solid ground of apprehension. In addi
tion to thu disposition of tho general gov
ernment to do justice to Georgia, a* well a*
to promote the permanent interests of thu
Indians, it must occur to the general gov
ernment, that every citizen of Guorgiu is
interested ; that many nro entitled to draws
in thu contemplated land lottery ; that those
who are not untitled, have friend* who are
tliat every citizen i:« interested in the gene
nil prosperity of the state, which is in t
considerable degree involved in tho extin
guishment of Indian ulcs ; and that there
must noreag.li illy ho far /non unjminiity in
rcl/Uiun to this matter, than in rel.-uion to
certain oilier question* which urn known to
distract tho public mind in this statu, 'flic
gonernl government can fuel no wish
trustrato the just expectations of thref-
,fourths, perhaps nine-tenths, of our people
It in not the interest of the general govern
ment to do so
Snotild t hr mistaken in the aonfidence I
am deposed to place in the ultimate jusi
ot the general govern mom ; should 1 find
too late, perhuu* I should say to soon, that
a disposition exist* to disregard the interests
ol Georgia, and to put her down ; 1 would
call on the other status to look to it! What
i* the fine of Georgia to day, may he the
fiiteof Connecticut to-morrow, and of New
York next day ! I will look no farther t*
thu consequences, because, I repeat I hope
that n'ungi will not proceed in this clmn
nol.
