t-feftitc lively acquit od Indian lauds, ha* bee ft to tic-
4>uito them by negotiation, & a pretended equivalent.
Rdt it is equally true, that they have in every instance
Mcnjgovcrned by policy, & their own sc line ofjns-
lice, & the respect which tlicv respectively entertain
ed for the opinion of the world, and not from any sup
posed obligation, cither of national or municipal law.
jMnr is it true, that the European governments claim
ed only the right of acquiring Indian land by pur-
ehase. This principle has only been assumed from
the fact, that this was the only course practiced; but
4t does not necessarily follow that they did not claim
or possess the light because they lorhore its exer
cise. If they did not claim the right, why rcstraiu
the Governors of Colonies, from taking Indian lands
■without purchase, until the further wishes of the
sovereign should be made knownf So far from pre
suming that European Sovereigns did not claim the
right to take Indian lands without purchase, I think
the facts authorise the conclusion that they did claim
the right, hut would not exercise that right until it
should suit their own pleasure ; restrained only by
policy, nml their own self-respect and sense of jus
tice. Georgia too in the compact of 1802, in dispos
ing of her Western Territory to the General Gov
ernment, restrained that Government from taking
the lunds from the Indians, until she should acquire
H by fuir purchase by treaty. If the principle bud
been settled by national law, that Indian lands could
not be acquired, hut by treaty or forfeiture, in n jnst
and necessary tcar. why it may he asked did Geor
gia incorporate such provision in favor of the Indi
ans, and especially when that cession was made to
the Federal Government? This requisition presents
this question upon another view of the subject fa
vorable to Georgia. It shews that Georgia was
fronted by the General Government ns the guardian
of the Indiana within her own limits, and possessing
the right of control over them; and when she parted
with that right ton portion of the territory, thutshe
•guarded their rights against their abuse, even by the
general government. If the right to protection had
noon well settled, and tli it the general government
wns the exclusive guardian, why was it necessary
.for hor to contract with Georgia not to violate it,
uor acquire the lam)
^-practiced. To my m
-tinvar been settled, it is true that whilst the go-
nndproperty (of tli* Imlintuliti.ir right* ,ii a || be con-

dtsn, must npply to n white man similarly situated ;
anil il there was not power in the cavCrnmcnt to
protect the Indian, neither was there For the nrotcc-
tionol the white man; for in this respect tlicv were
both placed ttnoit the same footing by Georgia her-
self, through her legislature.
By the 4th Articjc of the amendments of the rim-
■titution o( the United Stales, it is declared "Tho
right of the people to bo secure In their persons, hous
es, papers and effects against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not he rMuted," &c. nor, (by the
latter part of the 5th Article of the same amend
ments) shall they “be deprived of life, liberty.-or
property, without due process of law.”
Hy the first section of the third article of the con-
stitution of the State of Georgia, exclusive jurisdic
tion is given to the Huperior*Courts in all cuscs res
pecting titles to land.
By the 5th section of the 4th article of the consti
tution of Georgia, it is declared that ” Freedom of
the press anil trial hy jury ns heretofore used in this
State, shall remain inviolate; and no ex post facto
law shall he passed.” The Legislature of Gcorgin
of 1833, enacted and provided that if there should
he a forcible entry or detainer of lands, the person
thus forcibly ousted or kept out of possession
might he restored to his possession by a Justice of
the Fence and a jury of twelve men, and that the ti
tle should not he enquired into. Thus then if n par
ty in the possession of lands although lie might not
have any right whatever, should he ousted by the
true owner, lie could by n Justice of the Peace and
n jury be restored to liis possession, and the true
owner compelled to resort to his action in the Supe
rior Court, where the testimony might he properly
judged of, nud the facts found hy a jury. This act
being incorporated in the Penal Code dill not go into
operation until the 1st of June, 1833, and no injune-
lions were granted for nnv ouster committed after
that time, hut were universally refused. The pro-
visions of the constitution of the United States and the

sfnr the whole or wholly unavailing. Respect must j
also he 1m l to the state of tilings as they exist. The |
manner of occupying and taking possession of the i

of consideration. For years Georgia has asserted j

not attempt! d to exercise a government of their own,
but at mice se.b nitti d to the authority of Georgia—the
I iror.evdisigs of Georgia have notbeen secret, hilt have
jeen public and open. If the action of Georgia bad
been in violation of her relations with licrco-stntos or
the general g overntnent,tho proper opposition orcom-
pla'vit should have hern promptly made to tier pro
ceedings; but so far from this, her conduct appears
to have h :ni sanctioned hy the general government
«o far «h tin* general government is known to have
anted upon this question. Hhe bas admitted her ina
bility to inriiut'iin her guaranty, and recognizes Geor
gia to hr. right in the course she bus pursued. She
Las so fur nt least recognized the government of
Georgia her*, a* to establish post offices, and ap
point her citizens to manage them. Georgia has
been permitted to settle, the country, and organize
liar government and dispose of the land* generally
fo her citizens ; and it m now loo Into for her to re
cede. Whnte-ver view I am enabled to take of this
subject, l foci bound to recognize the authority of
Georgia. If the question be properly political as I
believe it to be, then it has been determined by the
political, the proper department lor its determina
tion; hut if it bonjudic.ini question. I found th

being an Indian xvnsprimafuri/i evidence of title uu-
And | der the laws of Georgia, and entitled the Indian to
protection until the facts were shewn hv which the
act of the Legislature deprived him o*f the land.
But if might be supposed tlmt the Agent had found
those facts before granting Ids certificate which was
the authority for issuing the grant. It would he a
sufficient answer to say, tlmt the law did not autho
rize the Agent nor the party to disturb the possession.
It would he well worthy enquiry wlmt was the trial

self without the aid of a jury, and without even no
tice to the Indian, that sueli enquiry or trial is to be
had; and it is believed seldom upon testimony under
oath. All the facts which were necessary iindertlic
laws of Georgia to constitute a forfeiture of the ludi-
au'sfarm and possessions & rights as an Indian were
taken for granted, without the .Superior Court, with
out a jury, witliouteven tiotiee. and it is believed, of
ten without oath, and perhaps upon the mere state
ment of the oarty claiming the forfeiture; and this
too whilst f a* Indians ns to the protection of their
persons ami property stood hy the laws of Georgia
upon the same footing as the free white citizens of
Georgia. Not that their rights were the same, hut
such rights ns were secured to them by the laws of
Georgia, were to he protected in the same manner,
and to the same extent as those of the free white
tizen.
The principle may he illustrated hy putting n fa
liar case. Suppose A to ho the undisputed owner of
a lot of land. He sells and conveys it to B fora
valuable consideration. B ncirlccts to get his deed
recorded in the lime prescribed by law. A makes n
second conveyance to C. also for a valuable consid
eration, nud without notice to C of the first convey
nun*. C gets his deed recorded within the t.ino re
qutred by law. B then gets his deed recorded, nud
enters upon the land having no actual notice of the
conveyance to C. Now an examination of the deeds
and the times when they were recorded will shew
, and.the right of Georgia to occupy the unap- that C is entitled hy the statute of Georgia to the
If I am corro ‘
pronriated part of the country,
to the extent to which this ques
the nvxintainance of that principle, most certainly
must proceed upon the invalidity of the treaties; be
cause if they are of force, it secures to the Indians
the entire- country, and I consider their preservation
wholly incompatible with the occupancy of the
country hv Georgia. I consider the treaties aban
doned hy both Georgia and the general government,
«o fir ax they are intended to secure rights to the In
dians as ar nnst Georgia; but that the general gov
ernment stands ready to answer to the Cherokee nn-
tion, tor the damage she has sustained hy the breach
«»f tin: treaties. I therefore, consider that whatever
rights the Indians now enjoy, and in which they can
be specifically secured, are derived Irom. and de- | the ludi
yeudant upon* Georgia; and that the Indian title is
now no bar to the action of cjcetniunt. under the
grant of the State issued in conformity with her laws.
YV »re it not that it has been attempted to mislead
the public with regard to the decisions in this rir-
n„t, and to endeavor to have it understood that the
laws in this circuit had been nullified, and refused to
be administered it would not now be necessary to ex
amine tiitx subject further. But lest it might appear
to those who have relied upon the statements made
in the public journals and State papers, that decis
ions like the present were nt variance with other de
risions in this circuit, and particularly in granting
the injunctions in favor o( Indians against the ngent

—mn C under the laws of Georgia obtain the posses
sion of the land? Can he enter upon B, turn him,
his wife and children out of possession hy force, or
shall be be compelled to resort to his action in the
Superior Court, have the facts found hv a jury, and
the judge to determine the law? Nav, further, after
a verdict of a jury and the judgment of the court
pronounced, awarding to C the land, he has still to
apply to the laws of the country further to get a wr*
of pc
• the right summarily to
dispossess the Indians under an authority pretended to
be derived from the act of 1833; it becomes ncres-
aary, briefly to refer to that decision and some of the
leading principles involved in it. ft is proper I should
Were remark that it was and still is the determina
tion of tills court to secure to the Indians the enjoy
ment of all the rights extended to them by the laws
of Gc »rgia, so far ns my official duties required me
to act upon those rights.
It has been asserted and published, that in grant-

ca*»e put is a much clearer case than any that could
xistin the Indian cases. As a general principle,

fact which formed the exceptions could not appear

per office might shew that a particular Indian, John
Ross for instance, had had n Reserve ; but that would
not show that the John Ross who occupied a particu
lar lot of land was the identical John Ross who had
had a reserve. This was matter of fart, and the j
fact of identity, and the taking a reserve should both I

House.
Those who have read tho long article of W.
N. Uislion, and his associates attempting to ex
culpate themselves from a part of the load of
sin and guilt, that is heaped upon them *»y Spen
cer Riley’s letter, will find the reply of J>JV. Bi-
ley in this paper. This has been delayed a# Y\e
understand, by the unavoidable absence of Mr.
It. to tho westward. He has not yet had time
to revisit tlio scene of the outrage, hut will soon
do so, after which, further developcmcnts may
be expected. One feature of the controversy as
it now stands will strike the reader at once.—
Bishop’s compurgators are his parti/.ans and ac
complices. The whole of his certifiers with not
more we believe than one or two exceptions,
are. in the same true, bill icith himself. Blit those
who cenitv fa. an* no wav concerned iu
the transaction, all of them reputable, »u„. v
of them eminent men, find some of ilieni much
to tho credit of their high-minded candor, are
opposed to him in politics.
The dirtiest work, the toughest job, of thick aud
thin, that has ever been set for the Federal paper
of this place hy its taskmasters, is to defend and
justify tlie late appointment of Bishop, over the
devoted C herokee circuit. But let justice ho done.
We should judge of all measures hy the end pro
posed. If placing such power in such hands was
for the purpose and with tho hope of provoking
violence and bloodshed, as in our hearts wo be
lieve it to have been, then was the selection of
Bishop eminently judicious. Who else so fit an
instrument to prostrate the laws aim lead up the
dance of death and anarchy and bloodshed.—
What so proper an engine to defend him as tho
press called the Federal Union.
Homicide.—The partisan celebration of tho
4th has not been permitted to pnss here this year
without the loss of life. A quarrel nud then a
fight took place in town in the evening, between
Martin Smith, and Dicksou Mahon, all residents
of the tow n or county. While they were thus
engaged a largo pistol w as procured, it is said, |
hy Jackson, a brother of Dickson Mahon, with !
which Smith was shot in the loins, and almost
immediately expired. Mnhon attempted to es
cape, hut xvas pursued and taken and lodged ill
Jail. Tlio verdict of the Jury of inquest was
in substance that the deceased was shot, and
presumptively, hy flic hand of Jackson Mahon.
The quarrel w as as sudden ns it was violent.
All the parties were no doubt under the influ
ence of liquor, as all of them we are told were
recently from the dinner on the State House
square, where tl%»ardent had been liberally dis
pensed. What w as the precise degree of their
intoxication is not very material. Staggering

The following article on the Encke comet,
which will return thisyenr, is from the Nantucket
Enquirer, nntl come, from the peu of Waller
Folgor, Esq.
The Enekc comet will return in the pretrent
year. This singnlar hotly, which for some year,
lots heen tlisliiigtiishotl hy the name of dm of
the most lenrneti nstronomers of Europe, will
pnss its perihelion on the 30th of August next,
at lilt. 2tn. 53s. I*. jM. This comet appear, lobe
composed of nothing hut gns, mol that in a very
rare state, probably much more rare than that
of the tipper-nmst stratum of tlie earth’s atmos
phere. Small stars have beeu seen through
many parts of tho comet, even through the een-
tre. The light of tlie comet is vory feeble, oth
er w-iso it would be visible in all parts of ilsorbit.
It has been noticed that this comet, and some
of the others increase in diumoter as they recede!
from the suit; nnd the cause has not been ex
plained in any satisfactory manner. On the 6rst
of June next, if it coultl bo seen, its diameter,
would appear about ten times ns large as that of
Jupiter: on the first of July, about five times ad
large ; nnd on the tbirty-Grst of the same mouth,
if visible, it will appear short of throe time, tho.
size of that planet. I observe tbecometof 1007
to increase in magnitude as it receded from the
sun. after >t heroine invisible to the eye. The'
Enekc comet, nt its return this year, will not bei
visible except by the aid of a glare which will
allbid much light with but little amplification.

Concert of Voral stud Instrumental
IU IIMC.
On Thursday evening last, \vc lisd flic plensurc of
witnessing u Concert of Vocal and Instrumental Mu
sic, gotten up under the direction of Mr. Henry C,
YValsh, who on tlint, ns on former occasions display
ed his excellent taste in the selection nnd arrange
ment of the pieces. Of the execution of liis ptipifs
on the Piano Forte, we could not speak in too high
praise—ns also, of Mr. Jackson’s Flute. Mr. Wulsh’s
own performance on the Violin and Piano, could
hut add to his high reputation ns Professor of Music.
The Vocal Duetts nnd Holns were handsomely per-
] formed. In the chorus’s performed hy voices, we
i noticed some slight discord in the parts—this doubt-
1 less resulted from the short prncticings which the
i gentlemen amateurs, were enabled to Imvo with the
i young ladies, who on that occasion as on nil others
‘‘done till tilings well.” Had the harmony been
I even less perfect, it must ho gratifying to our com-
munity to witness the recent improvement made, nnd
the deep interest which n respectable portion of our
I citizens nrc now taking for the improvement of this
i interesting ami delightful part of public worship.—
I \\ r e would say to those who have commenced in this
good work, persev<yc—and to all who feel an inter
jest (and who does not) in tlie advancement of mu
sical science, lend a helping hand.
