die Senate, might, by a small extension nf two
tines,on the West of the Chatlahoochie, in
certain contingencies, depending on the direr*
|j in of the river ChaUhooehie, and the line
between Ueoigia and Alabama, embrace all
lire Creek lands in the Slate of Georgia, I, al
ter having ootained yonr approbation, procee#
ded to negotiate anew with the Delegation
here, fur the purpose of obtaining an addi
tional cessioiK conforming to the views nbove
suggested. The utmost that could he effected
is the additional or supplemental at tide enclo
sed The piice agreed to lie psid is large, for
the additional extent of country acquired.—
It was given, however without regret, in Ihe
belief that it wotdd place this unpleasant sub
jrct on a footing tha| would be acceptable to
Georgia, anti thereby terminate » state of
things whose continuance could be contempla
ted only with regret.

.Sir : I have the honor to represent, that
from information lately received, a further
sum of twenty thousand dullarsovci .A above
Itial provided for in the 9th articlo of the
late Treaty with the Creeks, judiciously
applied in indemnifying emigrants for their
improvements in the uncedid part of their
Territory, as well within the limits of Ala
bama as of Georgia, (should indeed any
portion of their land ho found within the
laltorntato in this predicamoni) will tend
to increase tho number nf emigrants, and
therohy, to the extent of its im'.uenre to
prnigjoto the general policy of the United
Slates, and I submit to you the propriety of
communicating this subject to the considera
tion nf Congress.
I hare the honor to he, your obedient ser

irosent who resided south of Msson's and
Jickson’s line. Th? principles advanced
in the report had beunadu| led long before,
and whenever the report should be celled
up for consideration, they would be vindi
cated, however daring they might seem to
the honorable gentleman.
Mr. VINTON, ofOliio, moved to la$‘ the
resolution on the tnble, but withdrew the
motion at the request of
Mr. BRENT, who said the subject was
inteiesting not only to Southern men, hut of
as murh consequence to New York, and the
Northern States. It was not to the decis
ion in- the report that lie had any objections.
He was willing that the committee should
say that Larche was not entitled to relief
under the net of 1816. He moved the post
poneinent to Tuesday, and hoped the sub
ject would then bn considered.
Mr. FORSYTH said, he saw no need of
any postponement. Tho House was told
that this principle had often been presented
in previous reports, and tacitly acquiesced
in. He believed that gentlemen were mis
taken. The question lay within a small
compass. The principle on which the claim
was to be settled was very simple
Mr. BRENT here callod the gentleman
to order; as going into the merits on a mere
question of postponement.
The CHAIR decided that the gentleman
was tiavclling too far into the merits of the
main question, and must confine his remarks
to the postponement alono.
Mr. FORSYTH said, that he was not
about to elder into the merits of the report,
but simply to suite a fact, which bore on the
question of postponement. The principle
asserted by the committee is this, that the
Government of the United States have a
right to make use of the slaves in the Sou
them States as militia, and have a right to
put arms in their bands. This is a princi
ple he had never heard maintained, or ut
tered before. It had certainly never been
heard ofin this Hall. It is against this that
we protest 1 will not characterise the prin
ciple ns I think it deserves, because I know
l by gentleman does net mean to assail us.
But the principle is one which strikes at the
very root of our peace and safnty. Tho
question of property is nulhing—the princi
pie is all.
On Saturday morning, wc were merely
enabled to announce the confirmation of the
Crock Treaty by the Senate. This morn
iug, we give the Treaty at large. The vote
on its confirmation was as follows :

TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1120.
(HT To «mblo us to givo the rupresputn
lien of the lines of the new treaty, wc hav
been compelled to omit the toasts given
at tho dinner lately given to Mr. Crawford
at Monroe, Walton county.
The Trcitij—We arc at length enabled
to |.iy the Now Troatv, in an olHeiul shape,
before our readers. Every doubt is now re
moved. The thing stands forth in its own
deformity. Tho people of (teorgia will
learn with astonishment, and wo hope with
tliu deepest indignation, that tho old Treaty,
whic * sjavc them nil tlie.ir land, has been an
nulled, nivl that by the new one a tract of
country containing about one million two
hundred thousand acres, (according to Tan
ner’s map) hasjjoen taken from them, and
not only given to lie Indians, but guaran
tied to them. If the ©yes of our peoplearr
not now opened to the inaehinations of
Ad.uns,Crowd, Gaines, Andrews,undthose
of our own citizens who have afforded
them countenance and favor, then do we
utteily despair, of their being able to fuel as
Georgians ought to fuel.
We have, with the assistance of the inge
nious Mr. Kk!!>, made a cut representing
the Tines of this now treaty, ami also show
ing tho tract of country lost by it. It is co
pied from Tanner s Map, published last
vear, which has highor claims to accuracy
than any other with which wo arc acquaint
ed. We refer our readers to it ; and by an
inspection of it they will gain in a few min
utes more infoimation than from a whole
column of description. If Tanner’s map
■be correct, our conclusions as to tl»e quan
tity of land lost are true.
i&ntiry—-AVhnt will the people of Geor
gia w»v now {those of them, wc mean, who
.have so bitterly denounced Gov. Troup,)
when they lirid Ihe doctrine advanced by n
.commitveo of Congress, that lire U. Slate*
guvommeut havotlio right to use our sleets
as militia, and to put arms in tha:r hands.
SuaJva report tin* been made, and an avowr-
.■I openly made,that the doctrine* it ctiibra-
•co* would be vindicated, however daring
athey might seem. The following i* a part
-of the proceeding* had on it, in tho House
I -»f Representative*, on the22d ult.
Mr TATTNALL, of Georgia, said iie
hoped it would not be postponed. II«
wished now to exprea* hi* astonishment,
«nd abhorrence, and indignation, at the dog-
-trine* which that committee had dared lo ad
vance oa tbhfioor. there was something
assassin-like in tbit report.
Mr. WEBSTER here culled tho gentle*
mnn to order; and
- Th® speaker derided that the gentle
man from Ge««i« was not in order
Mr, MAKTIaDALE rose m reply, when
JieW*scalled to order by Mr. TATTNALL,
inasmuch •» he was replying to « remark
which w«i itself pronounced to be out ol
aider, *«d he begged leave to remind the
Speaker what was the subject before the
House.
The SPEAKER pronounced the gentle-
nan from N. York to be in order, the mo

(ir.NTi.F.Mr.N—As I atn not personally ac
qiuiuted with cither of you, it may not be
amiss for me to introduce myself to you at the

which (so lone ns youconiinue to demean your-

n.it to begin—I am a plain old framer, liv
ng in the s-tinn Congressional District that you
do yourselves, with just learning enough to cast
up accounts ; to understand my interest table,
and now and then to read over (with difficul
ty) the newspapers , for my old eyes soon run
iver with rheum.
The Journal, and the Patriot, are all the pa
pers 1 take—and I select these because they
are ex
xaclly opposite iu their political opinion^
lam a c lutious man and ulv/avs look'
before I leap.
I have told you, 1 am a cautious man—1am
a candid one, for 1 will here confess dint but
for the Journals nf last summer and fall 1
should still have had llie wrong sow by the
—and here before the public, I thank God
and yourselves, for my jtolitical apostacj—be
fare Heaven, I would have remained true to
" " * * * and liis friends, if you had net con
vinerd me so clearly that I was pursuing the
broad road lo ihe destruction of my country's
liberty. 1 have fought for it—bled for it—iden
tifi.'d it with myself—and cannot hear the idea
of becoming u suicide. 1 mi now happy to
slate that last fall, w ith a deer conscience, a
steady hand, firmly enrolled myself, in what is
truly and aptly called the Heptudican party in
Georgia. At the head of which 2 am prom*
lo see one so willing, and so able, to steer her
hafely through the winds and breakers of the
political storm which rageslroui the four q,nr
lersof the Heavens, as is the present incum
bent of the executive department.
With this introduction, gentlemen, you must
remain sat.sfied for the present; ami permit
me proceed to the point.
I see in some of the lust papers, that Doct
Tomlinson Fort is a candidate to represent
this district in the next Congress. The Doc
tor is u iu,\a of worth, ! have no doubt—ant
many of my neighbors think as I do—but
wn.il (before the election day comes on) to
know' who the Doctor intends joining himself
to, if ue should elect him? Whether to the
i\o. them o/ iatocrats. or the npublicans of the
South.
Now, it is well known, that the Doctor is
not at all bashful or timid, in showing himself
to the people—for we may remember, that
ouee upon a lime, after the adjournment of the
Legislature (of which he was a member) lie
came boldly out to the people—and by publish
ing his intended speech in your paper, showed
them what he would have said for them, if he
h id not been so unfortunate ns to loose the
lints of dealing it out lo the House. But no
matter, *' Gideon is yet in Israel”—he placed
before our eyes what he had cut and dried for
us Twnsour misfortune, not his, that lie
did n«»t speak it—he had his penny worth in
showing us what lie would and could have
done, had u time amitide permitted ’* Now,
I do complain that we lost the speaking of the
Doctor’s spec hi—I dare say the Doctor has
yet the original in manuscript—but we lost
the effect ii might have produced on ihe House
—and unquestionably we, the readers, lost ma
ny of ils beauties—Your plant homespun man
ner of telling a man’s story for him, takes off
all the rhetorical nourishes with which a
speech may be embellished in the speaking of
arely quits the field with at much virtu® at
ne ©titered it. The heart becomes more or
• orrupted, the judgment swayed, and com-
<g from such a theatre to the judgment seat,
he is less qualified for cool ^deliberate investi
gation than Indore, and much more under the
influence of his prejudices than if he had
tome from th® study of Coke or Blackstone.
The gladiator may talk of tilts and tourna
ments—the soldier of chivalry mid war, the
political zealot may enter the arena erf party
whites, and swear allegiance to his chief—
Sut he who fills this bench has been selected
and set apart for the discharge of higher and
(wider duties. He is called upon to adminis
ter the laws of his country, and to do equal
and even handed Justice to all men, of every
faith and every (and. Whenever tliei^’ore,
a Judge shall descend from the dignity of his

like in the Doctor is, that he ro

was himself
.•quest now,is, that ho shall
come forth anu tell ns how ho would have
done—how ho would have b it—how he would
have looked—what lie would have said—what
so r luf a speech he would have s|>oke, and
limv lie tvt aid have spoke it—(had lie been in
Congrt-s )—on the quest ions of the Creek
Treaty anil the I 'into run Mission ? But above
all wo want lo know what the Doctor thinks
of Mr Adam*’opinion about the lepresenta-
live being filtered by the will of his constitu
ents ;—and particularly of Mr. Adams project
of building ii^lit boil«es of the skies. If the
Doctor will do this, (and surely one good turn
deserves amrlier) wc pledge ourselves to vote
for him, if wc like the side of (lie question lie
advocates, and do not change our opinions of
him before the clay of trial. But let us here
lake leave of him, hoping he will nvail him
self of our hind, and stand confessed before
the public view. TRUEPENNY.
CHARGE
Of his honor William Sen i jv. Judge of the
Superior courts for the Middle District ot
Georgia to the Gram! Jury of Washington
county, at March Term, lJ-G.
Mr. Foreman, and
Gentleman i f the Grand Jury.
The people of Georgia reposing confidence
in my integrity and abilities, luve been pleas
ed to rail me to this high office of honor and
responsibility; and whilst I lee{ gialeful lo
them lor their kindness touie, I shall endea
vor so to conduct myself in the discharge of
the various duties of the bench, as not to fas*
ii that confidence, or cast a t ensure on their
judgment.
iu order pioperly, to discharge the duties of
my office, two things are necessary ; first, to
qualify myself to decide according to law ;
and secondly, to abstain from all violence of
party feeling, whereby my prejudices may be
enlisted, «ud my judgment warped from the
true line of rectitude The one will inform
th® mind, and the other will keep the heart
right.
All men in this fice republic have a right
t» fiieir opinions on any subject, whether reli
gious, moral, or political, and to express those
opinions on proper occasions, and in proper
places, and 1 as a freeman always have,and
always will exercise that right. But 1 hold
the doctrine that men in office should endea
vor to divest themselves ol all violence of leel
tug om any Riihj-ct,hnd come to the discharge
ol theiriluties, wltogeth'r unbiased, the one
way or the other, ai d more particulai Iv such
offi. eis as have ut.y judicial lunctions to per
fvtn iu d'ridi.g uiittcis of controversy be-
twee • their fellow -citizen* f different creed*
aul opinion- For it Judge, lor » stance
».o.er t ir li't* 11 point » .iMpui l ion, and pai
ticninrly at a period id great excitement, he
high calling and suffer himself to be con
verted into n political machine, he forfeit* all
claim to the public confidence, and public res
pect, and eo longer deserves to wear the er
mine, or to sit upon the wool sack.
These remarks, gentlemen, will in tome
measure apply to you as wallas me. As grand
and special jurors you are called upon to de
cide matters of controversy between your fel
low citizens, and between the state and the.
citizen, and you are sworn to do so, “ without
favor or affection to eiiher party” and with
out envy, hatred ®r malice, fear and reward.”
It is then your duty as men, as Christians, ns
republicans^ to divest your minds of all preju
dice or partiality, and come to the investiga
tion of a cause uninfluenced by parly consid
erations, by private friendship or private enun
‘y*
The Grand Jury mnst consist of not less
then eighteen, nor more than 33 members, but
twetve concurring in opinion are competent to
find a bill or make apresentment. Thu names
of eighteen at least should however be tuner-
t« d m such bill or presentment, that it may np
pear there was a full Jury.
The law has made it iny> duty to give you
speciality in charge two acts of the General
A assembly. One in regard to tradinr with
slaves, and th® other ou the subject of gam
ing. The first is well calculated to preserve
die morals of our colored population, and to
restrain our white citizens from receiving slo
len goods end violating the Sabbath day.—
This act then should be rigidly enforced foi
the honor and welfare of the state, for reallv
the constant, and I may say open violations of
this law oil the Sablmth day in our cities and
towns, is a disgrace to the moral character ol
the country. The character ol a common in
former is odious in theryes of the people, but I
believe that lie who should take upon himsell
the trouble to bring the violators of iliis law
to juftice would receive the thanks and ap
probation of every good and virtuous man
The act in relation to g.iming was also in
tended to improve the morals ol the people
and provides against a vice which is too preva
lent in this state. But the art defeats itscll by
extending ns well to the innocent amusement!*
of the virtuous, as to the guilty employment ol
the vicious. It is immoral and wrong to gel
drunk, and drunkencss is a crime which ought
to be punished,but it is perfectly innocent oc
casionally—to lake a glass of wine or spirit
and water. So also in relation to gaming, ii
is perfectly innocent for a man to piaj a game
ot chess or backgammon with liis wife or his
friend ; but when he goes to tiie gambling ta
ble ami takes a hand at lew or pass dice, lie
then commits a crime,because by such a course
of life he jeopardizes his fortune, his health,
am! reputation,and renders bis family anhap
py. It istho excess both in drinking and gam
iug which constitutes the crime, and hence if
the act were so modified as to operate only on
those who deserve punishment; the public
sentinietil would bein invar of i(,and the people
gracratly would be disposed to bring real gum
birrs to the punishment they deserve.
According to the oath you have taken, you
are hound to present all criminal mailers
which shall come to your knowledge or be gi
ven you in charge, but yon arc not required to
present any matins within your knowledge
before you were impaimelled and sworn.—
These are at your own discretion, and you may
or may not present iliem
The subject of a Supreme Court for the ror
reel ion of errors in law, is one which 1
con ider of such viial importance to the coun
try that I feel it my duty to call yoor attention
to it. Many persons have heretofore been op
posed lo such a Court, not because they did
not wish to remedy an evil, and thereby bene
fit the country, but because they have been ig
norant of the real nature an 1 intention of
kucIi an institution. Mom persons are under
the impression that if a Supreme court be
luhlillicd, they will be compelled to attend
there with their wilii; sues, and have the facts
tried in the same, manner that causes are now
tried in Circuit courts: but iliis iv not the fact,
for in that court there will be no jury, and no
matter of fact will be tlu-re tried, so that no
penmn will attend that court except the attor
neys concerned in the cause. Tne facts ol
each case will be tried by a jury in the county
where the defciula.it resides, as they now are,
and no cause will be carried up to that court,
unless there should be a difference of opinion
upon the law, and the decision of the Judgi
should be thought wrong. In such care hi
exception will he taken to the opinion of ihe
Judge below, and the law upon w liic.’i
opinion was pronounced will be the subject of
investigation by the Supreme court, w hose de
cision will be final and conclusive, not only be
tween parties to that suit, but also iu all other
cases hinging on the same question ; became
the decision of (his court will be published,
and all she circuit Judges willbebouud to
gether.
Ihe great difficulty which exists under our
present system is this; licit we have no law
in Georgia, but only the laws of the different
circuits, and a man’s rights maybe ouc thing
in this circuit, uud another in that. In one
he may recover upon a certain state of facts
whilst in another under the same circumstan
ces he could not succeed. And even in the
same circuit the law is not uniform, for every
new Judge ntbsl determine for himself, and
hence every three years all are liable to have
new laws, or rather new decisions in every cir
cuit. The powers which each Judge now pos
sess lire such as no single individual ought to
hare in n government like ours, for, liis opin
ions are the law of the laud, whether right
or wrong, and they are subject to no ro\i»iun
or control. Perhaps I cannot give a better
idea of the nature of this court than by assim
ilating it to the Superior court in the relation
which it stands in regard to justices conns,
because the object of a Supremo court is (o
correct the errors in law of the several Supe
rior courts, exactly in the same way that the
Superior courts now correct the errors of the
Justices courts, for you all know, tka* if the
justice or jury makes a decision contrary to
law, the matter is brought up by certiorari,
and the Judge determines whether there be
any error in the court below, but the matter
is never tried by a jury in the Superior court;
and if the Judge think the decision below
right, lie confirms it, and if wrong he grants
a new trial. The Judge corrects the errors of
all the justices w ithin liis circuit, mid we
only want a Supreme court to correct lit
rors of all the Judges in the State, so as to
Imve on*- uniform rule to govern all the good
people of Georgia, no mailer in what section
of the State they may reside.
This much gentlemen, I have thought pro
per to say to you upon this very inteiesting
subject, mid if you should believe as 1 do that
such a court is necessary to protect our right
you will notice it in youi presentments in such
•nmiuer as your own good *en*e may dictate.

ber *f crimes that have come before them th*
presentderni j they would rejoice to attribute
this,to the improvement in thn morels sr.d
-ood order of society, hut fear in doing so they
would be nontrtdietnd by every Hey s eaperi-
ence—They would respectfully recommend it
to magistrates and other pence officer* of our
county, a more prompt ami vigorous enforce
ment of the Inwi against those who no fre
quently violate them with impunity.
The Grand Jury sgree with Ms honor .lodge
Schley, that sonie supervisory trihonal lor Ilia
correction of error, sml . more uniform ad-
mimatratlnn of the laws in ihe seVcnl Ci»*
ctiils, is an object RrCatly to b. desired, bint
they are of opinion that the necessity of . se
pal me nod ilistindt bi anf h of Judges would bn
stipe reeded hy a semi-annual convention lif
Circuit Judges, to lienr and deteitnine *11 ca
ses, in point of law, that may he reported fiotn
the courts below. This fdan, we believe,
would be attended with less delay to the sailor
and a morn certain and speedy obuinmciit uf
justice.
They recommend that our judiciary system
he so emended ns to give msgistrates jurisdic
tion to *11 cases sounding in daUiages under
thirty dollare.
There is another eubject ttf vital Importnnoti
to Ike interest of the community, on which tlta
Grand Jury think tt pertinent to bestow a pas
sing remark—It in thecoiupensation of Jurors.
The pment practice nf coercu g jurors b> .
discharge of their duty by the enaction of hea
vy fines anil forfeitures, without annexing
thereto any valuable cnnsiderutlon, Is a sp<, j t *
of tyranny and oppression lucompaiible with
our republican institutions and repugnant to
the rights of the ciliten | the Grand Jury ar*
not restrained, hy ihe delicacy of their situa
tion, in saying that it i* with Ihe people, ott
this, as on every other subject, to, do them-
selvesjostiae.
With regard to the act of the last I.egisl.is
turo, laying off the Sinle into Congressional
Districts, about w hich so much lias been said
and written, the Grand Jury Would barely rw
mark (hat its beneficial influence is fell and
experienced by more than two thirds, of ill.
Stale* composing out Union, and can see no
good reason tvhy it should not produce tho
same good consenueneea to the people ol obf
uwu Slate , they believe it a measure dictated
hy reason and experience, and recommend
that th. provisions of th. act be Carried ini.
effect by the people of (hi. State al the next
general election according lo the true intent
and meaning thereof.
The Grand Jury view with Mtisfaction th.
increased attention of our Legislature lo the
great objects ol education and internal iu>-
provemeni. They would respectfully recom
mend to our Inferior court to adopt such mea
sures, with regard to ourSrliool Fund, as they
they msv deem necessary fur n proper apply,
ration of ils benefits, as no doutit by so doing
many of the poor of our county would be great
ly relieved. ,
The Grand Jury have Hnd under their con
sideration the exhibit of the Clerk of the In
ferior court with regaid to the- funds of the
county, and with great satisfaction slate that
there is a balance la favor of the county of
S93I 84 ot*. from a comparison of the exhibit
with the hooka in the office, they take a plea
sure in noticing the rorrertnessaoduliiiiiv with
which the dulic. of the office hate been dig-
