Und*. and the other objects that usual- _ .r i n J!nn tPHtira nnd. in cider u^tL’ians ofVhe Creek nation, were “raem- ilrtAie state” of Georgia. In what sense E could havo been “members of the state, hii committee does not understand; and the • ht of a stato to enter into these treaties with [he Indians, was strenuously resisted by con- ^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 king away a part and letting tho wholo re- To the constitution of tho United States, | thus designedly framed on theso points Gcor* | gh bacame a party, and thereby relinquish- led, if she previously possessed it, all pow- Icrto treat with the Indians, and all right to ex- I elusive jurisdiction over them. •„ 1 The powers conferred upon tho general go> [vernment, in reference to tho Indians, are to 1 be viewed, not more as conferring authority, than as implying and imposing burdens. With (heir exclusive rights in relation to the Indians, devolved on :ho United States tho great duty ofdefending the States against savage violence. I In ihc discharge of this duty, is laid tho foun' Nation of tho military establishment of the U I nited States. Tho first armies raised after the adoption of the constitution, wore for defence | against tho Indians. And in this way, the old- |er States of the Union, who struggled in their I infancy, ulono and unaided, against numerous land powerful tribes of savages, havo been char- lgcd with perhaps tho greatest single item of public expenditure, in tho fulfilment of the trust and duty ofcarrying on tho relations ofthe Un- l ton with tho Indians. But the power and tho I burden must ho reciprocal, and the Stato which I claims ihc right, by uncontrolled legislation, of I taming an Indian war, cannot reasonably call Ion the Union to sustain tho burden of carrying I, The first law rogulating tho intercourse with |“ e *°dians, passed after tho adoption of the Iconj.-'iution, was approved July, 1790. After ■prohibiting the Indian trade to all butlicencod I persons, it gave to tho President the power to Ittiie su <th order rcspectingthe tribes surround- l«o in their settlements by the chitons of the Ignited States, as to secure an intercourse with- it* !‘ conce * ho deem proper; and tho same | w declared that no salq of Indian lands to an I uiividual or a state, whothcr having tho right S rcHMn P :i °n or n °N should bo valid, unless , und executed at a public treaty, hold un- I wr (fie authority of the Unitod States.

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. The venerable Charles Harris, died in Savannah on the 17th inst. much regretted by a large circle of acquaintance. The Hon. Christopher Gore, formerly governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, departed this life on the 1st inst in the 69th year of bis age. The Savannah Republican states that the United States’ Marshal, John H. Morel, had not complied with the instructions of the Secretary of War to proceed to the Creek nation for the purpose of arresting the surveyors and others who were violating the treaty, that he remained in Savannah, and had not been 20 miles from the place.

Public Printing.—Oa the 1st Instant, the editor of the United States' Telegraph, a warm supporter of Jackson, was elected printer for the United States’ Senate.

The Petersburg Intelligencer of the 6th lust, gives it as a rumour, that a member of the General Assembly of Virginia had left Richmond for Washington, to set tle a dispute, (In an “honorable way,") with a mem ber of the House of Representatives of the United States from the Ancient Dominion. The difference is said to have grown out of the late senatorial election in Virginia. , . The Canal.—This work is going on with much spi rit; the force employed on it is upwards of six hundred laborers. The following information, from an authen tic source, shows the state of the work on the 1st in stant:—Three miles and three quarters of the canal are bottomed and completed; exclusive of this, 62,562 cubic yards of excavation have been accomplished, which is equal to a mile and a half of finished canal. The present force consists of six hundred and eighteen mechanics and laboreis, and twenty-one carts: of theso one hundred and seveaty are black laborers.— The tide-lock at Savannah river, will be completed in the course af the ensuing month; and the second lift-lock, between the Great and Little Ogeerhie, is in a state of equal forwardness. The timbers, Ac. for four bridges, three culverts, and the remaining locks, are, for the most part, gotten out and framed, and ready to be put together. The season has been very favorable for carrying on the work, and as the force on the canal has been prrac MAC OX.

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.

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.
