Her coustitutioual right is so clcnr c thal’slio cannot consent to abanuuti it* # Here we might reit tho defence of Georgia with a clear triumph, upon couniuittoutU pntici- plds. Hut Uut wo may make seisurance doubly snrh.'wo propose, in lery ftuv words, (its the ar- xunuut is obvious mid clear.) to establish our third position—That tho net of Congress of 1819, to civilise flia Indians, was aot designed to ox- tc«d to tho ChvTuUccs, and therefore enu give uo protictiou to tho Alissiouaries. Wo would hero remark, that the provision of tha articles of Con- f«der*tiou nlrendy qubted, nml the expressions of tho net raferrcJ to, nro so entifcly.coucorunut, that Ive nro cotup died to believe the skuio iutcu- tion gotcnirel tho framers of the CouCeJer.ttiuil and the Cwngrcs* of Id 19. It will ho recollected, that, by the Cuufederation, Cougress hilvo Uo coutrol over those Indians that were “members of any of the states”—that is, within their limit*. By the act of Idl'd, it h provided, ‘'that, for the puipo.ie of providing, ngaia-t the further Heeud* ana final exliucliou of the Indian tribe* adjoining* the frontier *ettlemenl*'of the' United State*, mid for introducing, tiuiuug them the itshils and arts uf civilization, the Prosuleiit bf.tho United Btnteo shall lie, mi l he is bcreliy.'nutliorizeiJ, iu every ease where lie dull judge improvement iu the ltd- bits aud couditiou of such Eudiaus practicable, aud that the means of iuslructiou enu bo iulroduced, itiUi their own consent, to empjoy capable persons, of good murnt chnritrlcri to instruct them ill tile mode of agriculture edited to ih. ir situoliuu: and far tuaehiug their children in reading, iniu writing, nud arithmetic: nml fur performing such other duties as limy be enjoined, uccordmg to such in structions mid rules, as tho i’residcut tnay give aud prescribe for the regulation of their conduct iu the discharge of their duties." It is uuder this tact, aud this its firstscctiou, that tho Missionaries claimed the right of residence mining thu Clnru- ' kees, without being atucuaido ’to tho laws of Georgia. Will uuy man, not blinded by precon ceived prejudices, believe, that the Cherokccs, living within tha defined limits of Georgia—sur rounded by Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, uud North Cnroliua—a lucre remnant ef tribe, encir cled by four states of tho Uniou, tit tho time litis act. was ptused—can fail within tho definition of **lidian tri'iu adjoining the frontier telilemenl* of the United Staled!"

If one I* a "frouticr settlement,'' so is Virginia—>0 is Connecticut—so is Massachu setts—aud the whole Union, hy, parity of reason ing, is a “mere frontier settlement’ 1 of tho Union. Ills too absurd for seiioj* refutatiou. We blush Tor tho log tl rop'Jtatioa of the tjupremo Court, when iu Chief Justice declares, that, ‘tit cannot be doubted that tho g.nerat word* of the net com prehended the Cherokccs.” There arc qp general word*—they a.; epreifu.—“ludiau tribe* adjoin- We hope that our fellow citizens will uot be provoked hy this rash interference, to cherish seu- timruts unbl 'mlly to the eniumthat they will a- voiil thosc ( cxci'sses into which th< y tnay be tempted aud betrayed by paaaiout that they xvijl lie pre pared to maintain the essential rights oftlto Statu, with cnlmucsa, delihcratiou, aud itumovcaUe firm- uess.

Slight cramps, m<-t frcqueutly of the toos, twitching in the abdomen, with giddiuesi and sickness occasionally accom panying it’. Tho treatment which Dr. White 1ms found so beueficial in comhatiug these symptoms, is expressed in the following extract:— "I heg most particularly the benefit derivable from washing the whole body with warm wider, and afterwords producing a general glow upon the surface hy frictions with coarse cloths. 1 was in duced to adopt this plan for two reasous. First, front tho knowu sympathy 'octtVcou llffi stomach nud botveis aud the skin; and secondly, because l am of opliiinn that a strong dufcctiug medium exists in th'u filth allowed to accumulate upon tho persons of tho poor, their clothes absorbing tho noxious exhalatious that Aoat arouud iu a conta minated atmosphere, thus presenting the contn- ifeous pores, if I may so express myself, a perfect piaster of infection.” Dr.'C. Negri, in the I.ancct of Feb. 11, strongly recommends the trial of pure bark, either iu place of opium and brandy, or in combination with them, in cusos of malignant cholera. His con clusions in favor of this rchicdy nro drawn from the intcfmittert character which distinguishes this disease. Ho observes, “I am very strongly in clined to believe in its efficacy, liecausc it is but a very short time ago since I had the opportunity of seeing, at u public institution, two very simi lar instances, which prevented more severe symp toms, aud wero perfectly cured by the free ad ministration of berk alone.' London, Pel. 16.—Reports received this day t In Loudon 12 nctr cases, 4 deaths, (viz. South wark 11, Lamberth t.J In tho North of Kbg- l.md 39 uew cases, 15 deaths. At Limebousc, up to one o’clock, yesterday; it is stated on tho authority of a member of the Board of Health of that place, that uo new cate of the cholera had occurred. With regard to Rotherhito, the statements us to nny case there, ure believed to bo wholly without foumlutiou. The suspicion is very general throughout tho city, that tho alarm has been spread through iutcrestod motives. The following copied from tho Washington Correspondent of tho New York Commercial Ad vertiser, contains a more particular account of the difference between Mcssr*. M‘Duffio aud Wayne, than wo have yet seeu: Mr. Wayne asked some question, addressing it to .Mr. M'Dulite, as tho Chti'rman of thoCounnitteo of Ways and Means. Mr. M'Duffie roso can'!'* and xvith full deliberation, laid addressing himself to tha Speaker and tho House,-that though nl ways ready nud. Willing to afford nil the informa tion tu his poberto gentlemen in that House, yet ho must be excused from cousidcrhig tho member frc:.i Georgia ns dt qrvmg that courtesy.

Tho excitemeut aud bustlo which took place during the remark*, prevented mo from hearing them vory distinctly, but tho itali cised words were emphatically uttcrc||, and tho tpno and manuer wero too marked to he mistaken. Mr. Wayne rose in u rage, nud railed incoherent ly—as a man, cooler thau lie is, might bo apt to do, on such au oeca&iou. The only thing taugi- hlo which came to oy car wus tliis sally—"l well kuow hoiv to appreciate the gcutleuinu’s tilkc.i Valor ■—tho xrbich, yoa kuow, alludes to eveuts long past. Nothing more was said. But, imme diately, there was much concussing and mysteri ous whispering, and gniheringhito corners. There was much anxiety ou every face,—fiir Mr. M‘- Duffio is too hoaest aqd able a man to loso. Tq the great credit of tho friends of the parties lie it •aid, that, instead of pramoting.the fued, asTrieud* usually do, they applied themselves in good ear nest to make peace, aud happily succeeded. Mr. Wayne came forward and apologised to the Homo for uuy improper warmth into which, in the ardor of au excited debate, lie might have been drawn—and thereupon Mr. ftl'Dullio with drew his remarks, aud Mr..Wayne withdrew his retort—and thorc is an end of the matter.
