Refusal to vote on the Abolition Resolutions.—
Tito United States Telegraph of the 27th says,
“ Five glorious names—yes, 1 say it without re
ference to party—five gallant names stand forth
upou the Journal of the House, w ho refused to
vote; Robertson and Wise of Y’irginia, Thomp
son and Pickens of South Carolina, and Glas
cock of Georgia. When Wise was called upon,
lie rose and said that ho refused most positively
to vote. He did not ask the House to excuse
hitn.

Clicrokee Treaty.

"The Treaty lately concluded with the Head

on hehall of the United States, for the purchase
ol nil the lands owned, claimed, or possessed by
the Cherokees east of the Mississsppi, ns ratified
by the President and Senate of the United States,
brought a talk with him. Ne-ah Mic-co, Tuck-
ii-bachic, Ilar-jo and F-ne-ah Mart-la, had been
in Council. The paper which lie brought with
him attempted to slate the feelings of sovcral of
the Chiefs. I consider them only rumors. Tuck-
a-baehie represents his people as friendly. Ne-
niy-loc-co is encamped with his people. YVax-o
Mic-co nt U-faw-lc, says, that his people have
done no mischief. The U-law-lcs are consider
ed friendly. Tix-i-co Ilar-jo, says, he vouches I
fur the friendship of his people ; tYli-to Mi-jo, a
Ucliee Chief is ill camp with his people, except
31) or 40 who nre missing, he supposes them to he
in the swamp. Fho-lo ilar-jo has come into
Ne-nh Mie-co's camp, and asks the protection of
the whites. Ho has left the Chc-haw town.
Such is the talk of the Indians from Ne-ah Mic-
co's camp. How much of it is true, I do uut
know.

On Thursday the 20th ult., the Morgan Hangers
in obediiMice to the call of the Governor assembled 1
in Ma iigou for the purpose of repairing to the Creek
nation, before their departure, they had the Imp-
pi ness of welcoming home their brother volunteers,
the Morgan Guards, just returned from Florida—the
most of them in fine health and spirits. To sou one
Company returning, and another going, strongly re
minded us of the "days which tried men’s souls."
The Hangers, after having partaken of an elegant
repast with their worthy fellow-citizen C. Campbell,
and listened to an eloquent ami patriotic address
from the samogciitleiiinn. took up their line of march.
On Friday the 27th they were joined by the Clarke
Volunteers at Capt. Broughton is—whence after par
taking of a sumptuous dinner, and listening to hii
appropriate address from Mr. Elliott, they took their
Icavo of old Morgan.
QTi* The officers and men return their sincere
thanks for the marked attention and liberality of
their fellow-citizens, particularly the ladies, iu pro

Capt. Porter returns his thanks to the young lady

Columbus, MaySdth, 1830.
The undersigned, .Major General, having, by un
order of the Commatuler-iu-Chief, dated Milledgo-
villc, May 27th, 1830, been appointed "to the com*
maud of the Georgia Troops, which have been col
lected, and are bring collected, at Columbus and
Fort Tw iggs, us also those which mttv be in the field
below those places,"—has repaired to this place for
the purpose of assuming the duties assigned him —
Hu cannot be insensible of the importance of these
duties, of which, w hilst he announces his indexible
determination to enforce discipline and subordina
tion among the troops, and ol punishing, in the most
exemplary manner, all infractions of either, he will
ever regard the just l ights of the citizen soldier.—
To conform to the views of tho Commander-in-
Chief, in udbrding protection to the Western fron
tier of Georgia, and to chastise the savage foe, in
arms against her citizens, vigilance and promptness
are required on his part, uud a rigid obedience to his
orders on thu part of those under his command. In
this wav only, can the nuccoss of the enterprise he
achieved, and the honor of Genrgiu he maintained.

The Columbus pnpors received ou Sunday,
furnish little information in additiou lo that
which will he found embodied in the commu

It seems to he tho general impression from th®
best information received at Columbus, that Jim

burned Roanoke, having slaked hi* appetite for
plunder, and burned and destroyed every tiling
within hi« reach, will with hi* followers, try to
make his escape to Florida. Energetic mea

After the reports in circulation, of tho immense

Captain N. G. Foster, of the Morgan Guards, j

turn from Florida ; Captain Dawson, under a gener

called upon him, and made u demand of tho public
arms in his possession, with which Capt. F. politely
and cheerfully complied, furnishing tho company
with betweeu GO and 70 muskets, with the necessary
accoutrements. On tho next day, a deputation wn*

munitions, supposed to ho there in tlm possession of
the Hancock Blues, but the deputation returned
without procuring the arms. It is expected a full
supply of 1111119 cuii bo ime! in F.atonton, through

the volunteers not being in complete readiness to

of the county full of interest iu tlm cause, although
it rained incessantly two-thirds of tho day, flocked
to our village, vvlioso streets were overflowing with

and beloved countrymen. The company being
drawn up in front of the Public Square, Col. Y. I*.

nnd in their behalf delivered to the volunteers an
eloquent nnd impressive address, bidding them an
affectionate adieu ; to which Capt. Dawson on the
pnrt of his company, responded in terms eloquent,
patriotic nnd feeling. The company then marched
below the Mansion House, where the fair were as
sembled, and iu behalf of the company, Capt. Daw
son, addressed the ladies iu nsneech, which though
brief, was full of interest nnd feeling, returning his
own and the thanks of the volunteer* for the patri
otic zeal they had exhibited in cheerfully assisting
in the p/eparntions necessary for marching. The
whole scene was truly affecting and imposing !
Having thus taken leave, the volunteers were es
corted out of town by a volunteer corps of Cavalry
(which is now being formed with every prospect of
success) together with a number of gentlemen or
horse hack. Old Greene has nothing to fear, hav
ing the utmoflt confidence that every man will do bis
duty.
God send them n safe nnd glorious Campaign, a

The Hook Concern of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and Abolitionism. — Tho following are extracts of a
letter from one of tho Delegates to tho General Con-
ferrenco of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now
holding its session in Cinciiinatli, Ohio, and a mem
ber of tin) Baltimore Annual CoufeiTeiico of suid
Church, to u gentleman of this District, dated inav

" Yestorday we fixed the location of tho Book

The expression of the Church is unequivocal.—

THUS GLASCOCK.
1st. Resolution. That Congress possesses no con
stitutional authority to interfere iu any way with the
institution of slavery iu any of tho .States of this
Confederacy.
2d. That Congress ought not to iutorfero in any
way with slavery in the district of Columbia.
rdecliued voting ou the first, because I consider
ed tliu resolution in its origin as wholly gratuitous
and uncalled for, and cau never consent to make,
or aiguo a question, as to th® right of Congress to
abolish slavery in the States, nnd because Congress
bus tio jurisdiction over tho subject; and any reso
lution either disclaiming or affirming jurisdiction, is
virtually hii admission of it. I did not vote on tho
second, from a lull conviction that it i* an implied
admission of tho right of Congress to interfere with
slavery iu the District of Columbia, and adopted to
evade tho constitutional question, uud because the
committee failed to incorporate into the resolution,
as they were specially instructed to do, "That to
interfere in any way with slavery in the District of
Columbia would be a violation of the publicfuith, un
wise, impolitic, and dangerous to the Union,” with
out assigning reasons for the same, leuving it whol
ly unexplained and unaccounted for, notwithstand
ing it is fully argued in the report itself.

Goshen, Orange, co. 4th mo. 28, A. D. 1836.
Friend—Will thee linvc the goodne** to state in
thy paper, a plan which 1 think will bo found con
venient to adopt by the Senate, when it takes up
again, the consideration of the matter of expunging,
and that is to agree to use u black lend pencil, in
writing the words (across the resolutions,) which
are desired to be written by the Senator from Mis
souri—so that in case of need the same may he ex-
punged without destroying the original record.—
Men change, but records should not. If records
aro intended only to convey to posterity the last
sentiments of men, then it would be much hotter to
use a slate. The grass is growing finely now, and
we shall soon be nbl® to send to thy city some excel
