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.
