^At length the constitution was adopted.—
The treaty-making power was again vested
; n the United States. A treaty duly ratified be-
“ ,ho supreme law of the land, “any th-ng
in the constitution or laws of any State to the
o rary notwithstanding.” By the confede
ration, the powers of the congress in regulating
rade, md managing affairs with the Indians,
were limited, (m has just been observed) by
L proviso “that the legislative right of any
, aio within its own limits, should not bo in-
frinsed or violated." No such limitation is
found in the constitution of tho United States.
This omission was not undesigjnedly made. It
was one of tho changos expressly introduced,
to prevent the continued collision of Federal
mil stato powers, which had so long existed to
Iho injury of tho public. Tho grant of unqual
ified power to regulate commerce with the In
dians, the exclusive right of repelling by force,
their hostile encroachments, and the exclusive
power of treating were necessarily so many
lnfrinjiemonts upon tho jurisdiction of tho indi
vidual states, and upon the power of tho stato
legislatures. If any authority be wanted to
confirm these principles, it may bo found in tho
42d number of tho Federalist, a paper written
by Mr. Madison. Comparing the powers
granted to congress by tho present constitution,
with those of the confederation, he says, “tho
regulation of commerce with the Indian tribes
is very proi»erly unfettered from those limita
tions in tho articles of confederation, whith
render the provision obscure and contradictory.
Tho power is there restrained to Indians, not
membors of any state, and is not to violate or
infringe the legislative right of any stato within
its limits. What description of Indians arc to
be deemed mombers of a stato, is not yet set
tled; and has beon a question of frequent per
plexity and contention in the federal councils.
And how the trade with tho indians not mem
bers of a state, yot residing within its legisla-
tivejurisdiction, can bo regulated by an exter
nal authority, without so far intruding on the
internol rights of legislation, is absolutely in
comprehensible. This is not the only case in
which the articles of confederation havo incon
siderately endeavoured to accomplish impossi
bilities, to reconcile a partial sovereignty in the
Union, with a complote sovereignty in tho
states; to subvert a mathematical axiom by ta

than as implying and imposing burdens. With

tmmm
pendent tribes of Indians, except by authority
and consent of tho United States, or has exer
cised any act of legislation over them, or has
claimed to do any act or thing forbidden by the
law of 1802. Tho committee believe that tho
State of Georgia has not only acquiesced, un
til lately, in the validity of this course of legis
lation, but that her intelligent and prominent
citizens have given it tboir express sanction.—
In the talk of Messrs. Campbell and Meriweth
er, to the Chcrokees, in 1823, these gentle
men say, “tho sovereignty ofthe country which
you occupy [a considerable part of which is in
the State of Georgia] is in the U. States alone;
no state or foreign power can enter into a trea
ty or compact with you. These privileges
have passed away, and your intercourse is re
stricted exclusively to tho United States." In
a letter dated March 10, 1824, addressed by
the Georgia delegation of Senators and Repre
sentatives to the Secretary of War, tho com
mittee understand the delegation to say, that
the Cherokccs are to be viewed as other In
dians, as porsons suffered to reside within the
territorial limits of the United States, and sub
ject to every restraint, which the policy and
power of the general government require In be
imposed on them, for the interests ofthe Union,
tho interest of a particular state, and their own
preservation.”
From theso considerations the committee aro
brought to the conclusion that the proporty in,
and jurisdiction over the lands occupied by tho
Creeks, within the state of Georgia, are not
exclusively possessed by that state, but are sub
jected to tho rights guarantied to the Creeks,
or reserved to the United States by the constitu
tion of tho United States, by the compact of
1802, by tho provisions of law, or by treaty.
It remains only to ask, whether the occupan
cy of tho small portion of lands now in contro
versy is reserved to the Creek nation, and on
what right Georgia claims to survey it.
Georgia claims aright to survey it under the
treaty ofthe Indian Springs, but the Commit
tee aro of opinion that no right nor title, could
vest under that treaty, for tho following re&
sons, in brief:
1st. That treaty was negociated not only
contrary to instructions, but on a basis express
ly forbidden by the Executive, when previous
ly submitted for his sanction.
2dly. The treaty was concluded by a party
of tho Creek nation, not authorized by the
Creek nation to treat for the cession of any
lands.
3dly. Tho treaty was concluded by a minor
ity not merely of the principal Chiefs present,
and without regard to the protest of the Head
Chiefs, made by their representative, both be
fore and at the moment of executing the treaty.
4thly. Supposing the Commissioners au
thorized, and the Chiefs empowered to treat,
such authority and power could, in no circum
stances, extend beyond a cession of the lands
occupied by tho chiefs treating, and those who
empowered them; whereas, by the treaty of
tho Indian Springs, a small party assumed to
themselves the right to cede away nearly all the
lands occupied by the nation.
5thly. If tho Creek nation was a party to
tho treaty of the Indian Springs, then it has
been declared null and void by tho ’two parties
to it, viz: the United States end the Creek na
tion; if tho Creek nation was not a party to it,
then it was no treaty at all, for it purports on
its face to be negociated with the Creek na
tion.
For these reasons, on which the commi ttee
are prevented for want of timo from enlarging,
they are of opinion that, by a treaty like that
of the Indian Springs the Creek nation
could not be divested of its right of occu
pancy, nor Georgia vested with the right of
possession, and that the lands west of the new
treaty line having nover been ceded away, are
reserved to tho Creek Indians by tho treaty of
Washington, and that tho survey of them is con
trary to law.
• Tho committeo, however, are happy to add
that tho inconvenience resulting from this cir
cumstance is much loss than was apprehended.
, In a letter of Gov. Troup, to Messrs. Cobb
and Berrien, dated 4th March, 1826, it is stated
that “unless all tho sources of information here
shall prove erroneous and deceptive, the state
(if tho validity of the now treaty be admitted)
has been defrauded of ono million of acres of
her best lands.” But if tho western boundary
of Georgia wore run according to a rigorous
construction of tho compact of 1802, it would
pass in sorno points cast of tho Caattahoochio,
and give her a boundary which she migh t con
sider less advantageous than the line drawn
by tho treaty of Washington. If tho western
boundary line bo run according to tho interpre
tation of tho commissioners of Alabama, it would
leave Georgia loss than she now claims. But
granting the ez parte line, run by the Georgia
Commissioners, to bo the true western bounda
ry of tho Stato, tho quantity of unceded land,
by the only computation the committee has
seen, is 198,632 acres, and that of a poor qual
ity, boing about ono 98th part of tho lands,
tho Indian titlo to which the United States in
1802, covenanted to extinguish for Georgia, as
soon as it could bo done reasonably and pea
ceably.
Tho small quantity of land in controversy
and its trifling value, render it probabio that
tho Indians will agree to cede it. Inasmuch
as tho quantity depends on the direction which
tho line between Alabama and Georgia may
take, it were to be wished that this line should
be first run. It appears, however; that tho Ex
ecutive from an earnest desire to meet tho wish
es of Georgia, has instructed tho agent to urge
the Creeks to a cession of all the land east of
tho lino which Georgia has established for her
self. Tho preliminary steps for this cession,
require no appropriation; tho committee deem
inexpedient by now making a final appropria
tion for tho final purchase, oithcr to fix on an
inadequate, or an unnecessarily large sum. It
is tho result of tho host view which tho com
mittee have been able to take of tho subject;
that no legislation upon it is necessary.
In conclusion, the committee beg leave to
observe, that they havo given to this important
87
They have felt how many great interests are
concerned in the subject. The powers of the
Union and the manner in which they havo
been exercised; the rights and interests of a
sovereign state, and the protection due from
tho strong and prosperous to the feeble
remnant of a once formidable race.—
Notwithstanding the collisions of opinion,
which can rarely bo avoided where such inter
ests are involved, the committee think it may
with justice be averred, that, in the general re
sult, while the constitutional powers of the U-
nited States have been asserted, tho great ob
jects desired by Georgia have been attained,
and tho public sentiment of the world has not
been disregarded, which requires a tenderness
and moderation, in disposing of the rights of
those, whom Providence has placed without
the means of resistance, at our discretion.
Such are the views the committee had pre
pared themselves to submil to the House. By
the message and accompanying documents yes
terday referred to the committee, it appears (if
tho Governor of Georgia correctly represents
the other authorities and people of the Stato)
that the prospect of a prompt and amicable
termination of existing difficulties, is less flat
tering than had bee.n hoped. To the letter of
tho Socrotary of War, informing the governor
that the president, in consequence of the re
monstrance and appeal of the Indians, would
feel himself compelled if necessary, to employ
all the means under his control to maintain the
faith of the nation, by carrying it into effect, the
governor has returned a di
stead of submitting the decision of :he question
to tho tribunal provided by the constitution, he
has issued orders to the Attorney and Solicitors
General of the state, to take all necessary le
gal measures to effect the liberation of the sur
veyors who may be arrested undor the authori
ty of tho govornmen! of the United States;
and has directed them to bring to justice, by in
dictment or otherwise, the officers ofthe Unit
ed States, or others concerned in arresting the
surveyors, as violators of the peace of Georgia.
He has ordered the major generals of two divi
sions of militia to hold the regiments and bat
talions within their respective commands in
readiness to repel any hostile invasion of the
Territory of Georgia, and ho has declared in
substance, that he shall regard the attempt of
the United States to sustain the Indians by
force, (which it will becomo their sacred duty
to do, should all other means fail) in tho occu
pation of tho lands reserved to them by the
treaty of Washington, as an attack upon the
Territory, the People and the Sovereignty of
Georgia.
Tho committeo will not tako upon them
selve to express any opinion on the subject of nes *
counsels so much to be deplored. They have
no apprehension that the people of Georgia,
will engage in violent collision with th* Union
for the purpose of sustaining a title to a small
strip of barren land acquired under an instru
ment, which, by a very largo majority of the
other House of Congress, sanctioned by anal-
most unanimous vote of this House, has been
declared “null and void." If however, it
necessary to contemplate so disastrous an ovent,
the committeo trust the law ofthe land will be
maintained and its faith preserved inviolate.—
Tho committeo recommend the adoption of the
following resolutions:
1. Resolved, That it is expedient to procure a ces
sion of the Indian iandsinthe limits of Georgia.
2. Resolved, That until a cession is procured, the
jtcauucu, auui uuui a vvooiuu •» jiiuuuicu, iuc
laws ofthe land, as set forth in the treaty of Washing
ton, ought to be msintained by all necessary constitu
tional and legal means.

‘ Our Country—Our tehete Country.”
In a late number we attempted to direct pub
lic attention to a few of tho inconsistencies of
Mr. Forsyth, since he has been an aspirant for
political fame. This, as we might have anti
cipated, excited tho choler of his partisans,
and has brought against us a host of pugnacious
quills. Without disproving the fact of his in
consistency, however, they deny it in broad
terms, and endeavor, by a strange process of
logic, to show the impossibility of such a thing.
But to those who watch tho currents and coun
ter currents of political life, and havo kept
their eyes on tho zigzag trails of popular men,
it neither appears impossible, nor altogether
mprobablo; and they will bo ablo from their
recolieciions, to say, whether the facts stated
are not so.
The Recorder, printed at Milledgcvillo,
comes out warmly on the subject, and feigns to
liink it incredible, that Mr. Forsyth should be
of the the character attributed to him, from his
having been elected to Congress, time after
time, by general ticket. Now the circum
stance of a man’s possessing the confidence of
party, and of being promoted by that party
to important stations, is no proof of his consist
ency or integrity; for duplicity generally goes
hand in hand with ambition. How many instan
ces could be adduced, in tho history of the last
four or five years, of candidates who wore loudly
protesting before the people to be in favor of such
and such a measure; but no sooner have been
elected and taken thoir scats in the halls of le
gislation, than a wonderful metamorphosis takes
place, and they have been found on the side of
tho question directly opposite. Wo need not be
told that the people of Georgia are patriotic
and republican in their principles. This wo
believe. As a body, they will never counte
nance sedition nor rebellion, lot it originate a-
mong Hartford Conventionists, demagogues
from the Old Dominion, or descendants of to
But there aro individuals amongst them,
who, undor tho garb of republicanism, dissem
inate anti republican doctrines, and maintain
the most aristocratical principles. We would
willingly believe Mr. Forsyth to be as consis
tent and honest in his political life, as tho pu
rest patriot might wish him—if we could. But
there aro too many facts to the contrary. And
wo leave it with tho editors of tho Recorder to
say, whether, if Mr .F. never openly advocated

Tho Editor of the flthtnian, in noticing an
artido in our paper on tho wavering policy of
Mr. Forsyth, contends, that the Resolution of
that gentleman calling for an appropriation of
money to purchase the strip of land claimed by
tho Indians in tho limits of this state, is “by
no moans an acknowledgement that the land
belongs to thorn.” This, to our notion,
queor reasoning. For if tho land does not be
long to tho Indians, why pay them for it? Why
purchase again, what wo already possess?—
Would Mr. Forsyth lavish tho funds of tho
nation without receiving an equivalent? If our
title to the land in dispute is already valid, would
ho make a further appropriation for that object?
The fact is, Mr. Forsyth does acknowledge
tho dairn of the Indians, and has come to bo
ofthe opinion, with all honest men, that the
New Treaty is tho law of tho land. And what
is more, ho disapproves of tho course of Gov.
Troup in this business, and approbates tho pro
ceedings of the President, in carrying this trea
ty into effect.
