c . i did flatter myself that I should have
■enable to complete my survey without troub-
* voU or being troubled by the Indians, but
"in I have been deceived. Eight or ten

till) a letter written by Crowell and signed by
Lcrnl Chiefs, and ordered mo to desist from
F . ev j n g the land on tho west side of the
lew treaty line. Mr. Rogers, who surveys
* s oth district and who will bo the bearer of
iis was broken up by them yesterday. You
til’knew best what mcnsurcs to pursue in re
ad to the affair, but if the survoy proceeds, a
btection must be afforded us, and that must
; sufficient to protect the whole frontier line
ini the intersection of tho Cherokee lino with
. State line, to Miller’s Bend. There is a-
jout one fourth ol'my district that lies west of
fight's line, and I yesterday completed my
heridian lines through it. I shall today com-
fccncc my transverse lines, but, after mature
tflcction,*I cannot feel myscll'safe in crossing
IrMit's lino at present, hut shall proceed to
irvov that part which lies east of the lino, and
Ihcn I am done, I shall mako tho attempt to

nations at Panama, on the 15th July, 1826,;it
is stipulated tliat the governments there repre

Therefore resolved, That, without now ex
pressing its opinions as to the expediency of

as to which of tlio reports was adopted. Tliero
is no osscntial-difforcnco between the reports.
The houso subsequently ordered the bill au
thorising an cxchaugc of stock, and the bill to
relieve Swedish and Norwegian vessels from
the payment of discriminating duties, to bo en
grossed in the. form in which they were report
ed, and read a third tune today.—Nat. Journal,
14Ih instant.
By a refereuco to the account of proceed
ings in the house of representatives, yesterday,
it will be seen .that tho investigation, growing
out of the appeal of tho Vice President, to tho
houso of representatives, has at length termin
ated in an entire vindication of the character
of that high officer from the imputation of tam
pering with contracts with.the offico which lie
recently Held, or deriving profits therofrom.
Of such baseness, his most decided adversaries
in politics never lor a moment suspected him,
and the reoort of the committee adds no
strength to tfio general convictions on this head.
Tliero is, and has. been from the beginning,
a prevailing feeling of regret, that this distin
guished citizen should have given such conse
quence to a wretched calumny, as to have pre
sented it to the house of representatives, for in
vestigation. The public will learn, with cor
respondent satisfaction, that the investigation is
at an end. For particulars connected with this
investigation, wc refer our readers to the re
port of the committee, and the pnjet of a re
port offered by the minority of ihc committee.
The testimony’, &c. accompanying tho report,
fill three or fou' hundred manuscript pages.—
Of these papers, we intend, at least, to publish
as curly as convenient the le. cr of Mr. M‘Duf-
fie, protesting against the proceedings of the
committee.—.Yu'. Intel. 14/A inst.

tlio lull authorizing an exchange of stock.
Tuesday, February 13.
Tho select committee appointed oii the let-
tor tho Vice President, mado their report,
which sras read. This 'report, which acquits
tho Vice President, in tho most unequivocal
terms, of any participation in lire profits of tho
Mix Contract, will bo found in another part of
our piqior, ns well hs another report made by
Mr. Floyd, the,chairman of the committco,
which was rejected in committoc: boili reports
were ordered to bo printed. Wc understand
that fivo of the committee were decidedly in
fivor of tlio first report,' presented by Mr.
Wright, that the chairman (Mr. Floyd) was in
«ol c ?j 0n ^! rtrc ' 1 l * ,e Following resolution: favor of that which he presented, and that the
e “> I hat it ip inexpedient for the U-1 other member of tho vommittee was indifferent
It appears to be the constant object of some
amongst us, by false statements, and wilful mis
representations, to keep up. a perpetual excite
raent agains* the government aril pcoplo of the
United States—as though it was not our gov
ernment, and ns though we wore not equal par
ticipators with them in nil its advantages. Va
rious means are resorted ro for the purpose'of
imposing upon the credulity of die people, and
effecting the most mischievous ends. At one
time the idea of a Tariff is held up, as some
thing monstrous and alarnrng. At another, a
disposition to interfere in our domestic con
cerns, is strongly urged. Every one recollects
thro,celebrated message of Gov. Troup on tlio
allcgod interference of Congress, and tho o-
quully celebratedTResolutions responding there
to, which set the whole state in a ferment, and
threatened its dissolution—and all because
Gov. Troup had hoard Col. Jones say, that!
Mr. Berrion had told him, that the Aitorncy|
General had said so and so ! but which at last
turned out to be no such thing—Mr. Wirt de
nying that ho had evor said so and so; and
Mr. Borrion also denying that he had over re
ported so and so! Yet tho charge had been
made, and the mischief went on in tho manner
intended.
Tho object now is, to produce the impression
that wrong has been dono (ho state of Georgia
by tho General Government, and that feel
ings of hostility are harbored against us
by citizens of other states, merely because
Troup is Governor! For our part, wo are
confident no such feelings are entertained, ei
ther by tho government or peeplo of the li
nked States—and that it is not a matter of such
mighty momenr with thorn, whether Geo. M.
Troup, or any other man occupies tho execu
tive chair-- It is true, tho subject makes a
pood deal of fuss hero, but beyond our own
state, wo are assured it is a matter of lit tlo in
terest.
The idea that +ho rielits of Oeoreia are in
danger, from tho Goners! tanvernm’'nt, is ab
surd—Yot the irovernnr end 'hi* partizan edi
tors are striving to make that impression.—
They wish to impose nnon, the people, .that
wo are menaced with a m'litarv force; that our
territory is--to ho invaded; our houses burnt;
our property destroyed: our Mood spilt, fee.,
ifcc.—and that to avoid nil these calamities, wo
must “ stand by our arms,” -and supnort Gov.
Tronp, let him act over so prennitetously.
Troup *<*yp, in his letter to the Secretary of
War, “ tho -milit,try chmacter of tho menace
is establishedend spqPks of resisting “ to
tlio utmost any milit &y attach which tho gov
ernment of tho United States shall think pro
per to make.” Now, wo havo carefully road
tho moss ago of tho President, as well ns the
letter of tho Secretary of War, and find no
thing that bears ^ semblance of a menace of
military force. Tho President expresses his
determination to carry into effect a law of the
land which had been disregard®^. t»y Gov.
Troup; but says: “ I have useJ of the means
entrusted to tho executive for that purpose, on
ly tho*o which, without resorting to' military
force, may vindicate tlio sanctity of tho law by
the ordinary agency of the judicial tribunals.”
There is nothing- like a military threat hero.—
Nor does Mr. Forsyth put the construction on
tho message that'Gov. Troup and hispartizans
in this state are disposed to do^ In his speech
in the Houso of Representatives, ho lays, “that
he rejoiced to pcrccivo that the chief magis
trate, in tlio construction of what ho conceived
to bo his duty, had not, this lime, made his ap- -
peal to military force.”
It is tlio duty of tl^o President of tho United
States to sco 'tho laws enforced, and the viola'
tors punished ; and if the civil power. i| nO(
sufficient, a resort liiust bp had to tlio military'
—though wo should exceedingly regret the ne
cessity of such a resort. In a case of this sort,
tho chiof magistrate has no alternative—-wheth
er tho Indians havo rights or not, the character
of the government must be sustained—treaties
must be observed-—laws must ho enforced.
And, if it is necessary, from resistance, to ap
peal to tlio strong arm, hr must do it.
Desertion of Furjyth ! On die 9th instant,
Mr. Forsyth introduced the following Resolu
tion iuto tho Houso of Representatives of tho
United States:
“Itesolced by the Senate amt House of Representatives
United States of America in Congress assembled,
that the sum of dollars, to be paid out of a-
ny money in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriat-
ed, be, under the direction of the President of the
United States, distributed among the Creek Indians,
as a full indemnity for their claim to hunt upon, or in
nny other maimer use, the strip of land lying between
the Chntahoocliic River and the dividing line be
tween the States of Georgia and Alubaina, which
said land is to be subject to the undisturbed occupa
tion of the citizens of Georgia, under the laws of
that State."
From this it appc&Ys, ho has abandoned tho
cause of Gov. Troup. If our title to tho ter
ritory in dispute js indefeasible, os tlio Gov
ernor contends, by tho Treaty of Indian
Springs, what necessity is there for further le
gislation on tho subject? Why appropriate
more money for that purpose ? But Mr. For
syth is ono of those wise politicians, who al
ways like to be on tho stronger side of a ques
tion. As rats desert a sinking ship, so ho docs
not hesitato to desert tho cause of His party,
when it can bo no longer maintained. It is
plain, that Forsyth has become a Ncto Treaty
man. How the Governor and his consistent
supporters will be affected by this movement,
wo arc impatient to loarn.
Much interesting matter has been unavoidably crow
ded out by the Debate on the Georgia question.
