The Spi^usli Blocks Georgia and the United Slates. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday, February 9. A. messago of the President,, transmitting sundry docoments in relation to tho controver sy between Georgia aud tho United States be- before the House, a motion was made by Mr. Forsyth, to refertho subject to a commit tee of the wliolo House on tho state of tho un- Ion ‘. A™'* longtliy speech in favor of his motioir ho was followed by Mf. Webster, who said ho had boon desi rous of rising that ho might reply to somo of tlio arguments of tlio gentleman front Gcdrgitt., Tnaf gentlenmn, not eettfining himself Mr the question beforo tho House, had gone onto state his views of the goncral question pending between Georgia and the United States, Mr. W. said lie did not moan to have entered into thatquestion; but, ns the gentleman from Geor- S ia had stated it, and brought his argument to egr upon it, he must be allowed to tako (ho liberty of reviewing that statement. Tho gen tleman had, with what he called great frankness said that lio (Mr. VV.) or tho committee to which ho belonged, wore the adversaries of Georgia. ' ' v [Here Mr. Forsyth' explained, and staled what bo had understood to bo Mr. Webster's meaning when lie had said that tho language of menuco had come front tho otborsido.] Mr; Webster resumed : We sometimes hear thoso who havo a cause at issue, especially when they have any reason to doubt the result, attempting to iinpchch the impartiality of the tribunal which is to decide it: sometimes, in deed, they challenge a trial, profossing them selves willing to go with their cause nny where beforo honorable men; that its justice is so clear as to admit of no mystification, and that nothing but integrity aud common sense arc re quisite in order to a right decision. Bqt'jn olhor cases, wo bear tho advocato of a cause declaring that the ordinary tribunals arc not to be trusted—thoy are prejudiced—and thoy obr joct to go there, lost a .decision should bo’ had against them. Ho noed'not say what was the usual inforetico from this contrast of lan guage. Such arguments, applied liore, amoiiut to neither more' nor less thaii this: that the Committees of this Houso are not to bo trusted. JBut if the Committees of this HoUso are to be’ supposed to bo under such a' prejudice as rendered them unfit-to decide the-questions re ferred to them, there was nu end to all..refer ence of business to them; ‘ ; Tho gentleman- .from Georgia, howovor, thinks,- that there are parties ia the country, and in the House, and that tlio Committees arc so organized Its jhat ono party is dominant in them all. For, himself, Mr. VV. said/hc be lieved that ho rather thought therq were somo Committees of the House not exactly so-organ ized. Brit, said Mr. VV. parting from th-p.lol me’hnswcr the'gciitlcman when he asks who I meant, whon I used tlio expression "“on the othor side.” I tell tho gentleman that I' speak only for mysolf, nnd for nobody else. VVlicii'I entered the House, tho oilier day, ( heard that gentleman speaking, with excitement nn.l warmth, nnd, as I thought, in a loud and me nacing tone. What tho subject was, I did not lcnoW wlieil 1 canto iri; but, on taking liiy scat, I found ho was speaking on tho Georgia ques tion. Tlio gentleman sits on that side of thp House, and I sit on this sido ; and, wlu-n T subsequently observod, that tho tone of menace seemed rather to proceed from.thc other side, I referred 'to tho gentleman from Georgiafor lie and myself were the two sides, so f.ir as this particular matter was concerned. This was all L meant when I said that I thought tho threat ening language came from tlio othor side. If it is necessary to disclaim nny thought of menaco on my part in stronger torms, I doit in tlio strongest; and, sinco tho gentleman from Geor gia lias condescended to ask me tho question I answer timt I represent on! this floor for no body but myself. Does the gentleman sup pose that tlio poor pittance of respect, wliich my opinion is entitled to, is to bo destroyed by tlio insinuation that F belong to tlie pariyjuf tho Administration 1 Sir, I .alone am answerable for my words or actions in this House. About this suhjer.t.I know.no nxoro iLMwatW*—no more than wiiat is disclosed by tlio papers which .are in possession of ail. VVhat iny own woal; judgment respecting it is, thejlouso, in . duo Vine, shall know: but I wish it dearly under stood, that I sland Imre for myself only, and that what 1 say implicates nobody but my hum- blo self., ft would lc unjust to say tkaUt im plicates any other person. Mr. VV. went on to.say that .the-honorable gentlemen; from Georgia had not, in his opin ion, stated tho question between that Slate and ihc government of tho United States, with per fect accuracy. VVlnt was tho subject of. tlie present dobate ? ' It was. a message, with docu ments, the subject of.which ho would endeavor succintly to state. > 4 l' In tho year 1823, a certain treaty was made by tbo United States with tlio Creek Indians, at a place called the Indian Springs, liv which certain lands were- ceded to the United Stales, which lay within the territory of Georgia. Ilad nothing prevented this treaty from-going into effect',' in September, 1820, these lands pursu ant to an agreement between Georgia and tlie United States, would have become die torrito- •ry of Georgia.- But previous to the period as signed for this treaty’s taking effect, for reasons which uro known to all the House, and wtuck consisted chief!v of tho ilissatisfacpOH of a lar-'o liarl of the Indian tribe which wero one party to tlio treaty, and who complained that ding Squadron appeared oil Key West in the those who negotiated the treaty wore not dulv morning, aud disappeared in the evening. f authorized so to do; a non treaty wa3 fori i , the vel-y first articlo of which declares, that tlio former treaty, made at tho Indian Springs, was entirely annulled and dono away. This is the point, which tho gentleman in his statement seemed to Mr. VV. to have whol ly omitted, and it was certainly a most impor tant point in the case now.. The claim now ' brought forward and insisted upon by Georgia, if he understood it, was, that this first treaty at tlie Indian. Springs, being a valid treaty, had the operation to vest the titlo to tho lands then ceded in tho Stato of Georgia, and that tlio nul lification of this first treaty, which afterwards took place at Washington, and formed tlfo first articlo. iw the treaty of Washington could not and did not have tho effect to divest Georgia of the titlo to thoso lands. That, said Mr. W. is tiio qucsiion. It may certainly bo a very grate question—a question of great, moment, respecting which, I shall not be in any harry to give my opinion. Nbw, that is tho Georgia side of iho ques tion.. Tho United States’ side-of the question is different. Tho United States’ Government, on its part, contends, that tlio socond treaty does annul tlio firs;; that tlio parties who made it had power to annul tho fust treaty ; that, by express terms, it is annulled, in every section, clause, and articlo of it; and that therefore there is no title in Georgia to any lands not embrac • od within tho now treaty. On this ground the Government of the United States wad called upon to enforce this treaty, which was tho law of the land according to' the pre-existing statute law, And "’hat is that law ? That whenev er citizens of the United States shall iuterfero, whether as trespassers or as surveyors; to run linos on lands guarantied to the Indian tribes by treaty, the United Statos shall resent such infractions of treaty stipulations, and shall pun- - ish such persons as offend against them. Notiq | by tlie last treaty with the Crocks, this fl 1 tection of the United Statos was guarantied to tlio Creek Indians, respecting all their lands lying beyond a certain line. The law of the United States, in so many words, providos-dis- tinctly for this ease. Tho State of Georgia, by tho constituted authorities, acting on tlioir ground of construc tion, and directly iu tho face of tho socond. trea ty, (whether, rightfully or not I shall npt now attempt to decide,) sent their surveyors over that lino, with orders to survey tlio land os * pertaining to Georgia. The Crooks immedi ately colled upon tho United states to fulfil the gu:u-auty of protection contained iu tlio 14th article of tho treaty of Washington. Georgia proposes to maintain her surveyors by military force,.. v aTid tlio United States, on tho oilier hand, is called upon by tho Indians to rnain- tain the faith of a treaty wuh them. This is a ‘ftato of things deeply to bo regretted: it is re gretted by iioiio 'more than by mo. But, re gretted or not, that is tho quostion at issue. It is plain tliat if Goorgia considers herself c dled to maintain her surveyors by force, and die U» nited Statos’ Government considers itself called upon to maintain file' treaty 1 by' fbree, tliero must bo a collision. Now, nndcr such a state of things, what ob jection can tlmro bo to give to the Presidential communication tlio usdal course-^—to refer it to a committee, when nil the fa'cts can bo as certained, the question deliberately examined, arid by'whom, perhaps, another measure may be reported ns expedient—I mean' tlio meas ure referred to in tlie' joint resolution submit ted by the gentleman. from Georgia—on ap propriation of money to buy out tho Indian ti de. For myself, (said Mr. VV.) even if I were ever so well satislicd that Georgia'was. wroug, I should still bo opposed to going to extremes, if the matter coiild possibly bo arranged in any ’ other way. If, in tho mean while, the whole subject can bo arranged,, satisfactorily, by a now treaty, for tho .purchase of the remaining land, certainly every honorablo and fair man would wish that it should bo. The amount of money necessary to accomplish such an object, would bo of comparatively little consequence. However,there did appear to Mr. W. to boa great propriety in sending tlio subject to somo com mittee. Far be it from mo, (said ho,) to de sire to be among thoso to whom it is sent. 1 havo no itching for tho decision of such a sub ject. , But, to whomsoever it shall go, tho gentle man from Georgia need bo under no alarm as to tlio effect of their report. That report, wUtUovoc it shall Un, will lio subjected to the acuto and deliberate examination of tho gentle man himself-nnd of every olnor friend of -the Georgia interpretation, If the report bo ad verse, gentlemen are hero to reply -to it. If there be a flaw in jr, they will lied it. They are nut too unskilled to complain. Georgia is ably represented here, and any errors of , a Committee would no doubt b« promptly ex posed, ■ ." - • Tho gentleman from Georgia asks, what I mean, when I say that,' iftho States attempt unauthorized legislation, they will attempt it on tlioir own responsibility, and at their perill Do I moan to drive them out of tlio Union, or that the other States shall make war against them ? Sir, the gentleman lias, in tho alarm of his im agination, <n- from tlio lovo of effect, exaggera ted and strained what is a very common phrase. When wo say that, if an individual does a par ticular thing, he will' do it at his peril, do wo mean, that if ho does it, ho will bo annihilated 7 If ono man says of another, that ifhedoe.s such a thing, he will do it on his responsibility, is it to bo understood as meaning that, iftho man does it, ho must he pistolled 1 Sir, I stand by the expression. I say that a State, like an individual, must necessarily take the peril which necessarily follows a wrong action, If jt commits one'; which means no more than that they must incur the peril necessarily ac cruing from such a course of action. I moau that if it shall be found that these States) by ex tending their legislation Wef tho {pdiaa terrii
