GEORGIA CLAIM.
t
The elaim of Georgia upon the
Vnifcd States, as urged by her Rt
ores nfatives aw! Governor, for the
cxtiaMion of th* Indian title within
the limits of the *tate, lias, in ev- i
<xrnl of the partisan prims of the day,
Vfn grossly miirepi evented. These
prints e deavor to rnnke an impres
sion n the public mind, that Ger
finds fault with the general go
-7c ment for civilizing tbe Indians,
wlii’h is not the fa* t. Tbe follow
ing is a correct view of the ‘-ase.
Bv a Convention in 1802, the U.
3<a*es in virtue of a cession of an ’
immense lirdy f land by O* * gia,
3on*raited to extinguish hi-1 dian
fille wMiin the state. The com
plaint of Georgia is. that the gene
ral government has failed to comply
with this contract; and not only fail
ed to comply, bat made permanent
grants of land *n the state to I jdians
whose title the United States had
‘■ontraofed to extinguish. Nay, •
3>*ie. All the measures of the Se
cretary of War have tended to per
petuate the residence of those Indi
ft “i within the limits of Georgia, as
freeholders. The reader will per
reive, therefore, that the complaint
of Georgia i* not, ihat the United
9 ate*i civilize the Indians, hut that
the* *vili2r hin in Georgia, con
trory to the c ntruct of the i (inven
tion. The Georgians -vish them to
be civilized on U ritorial lands of
the United States, where the gene
ra’ government, having exclusive
jr- ivdiction. may • ivilize them with
a prospect oi permanency.
The course which YT. t'alhoun.
pndee whose contr *1 the I diam De
portment is, has ptirsued in rtiis af.
fair, is the strangest imaginable.
He has tint or !y neglected to arry
the provisions of ihe Convention
W*th Georgia info effect when op
portunity offered, but hehasoppos.
ed ‘he fulfil memos them, hv sup
porting flic demands of the Indians
t* remain i Georgia; and Inst win
ter he brought 8 number of the
eh?cf to M ashierrton, iated
W'th them, in a diplomatic form, as
the *e£#n<§of a sovereign and inde
pendent power, and count enacted
them r a memorial so
Cnri?*e** in opposition to the claim
ofGe gla and the stipulations of
ihe of 1802.
ft is believed that Mr. Calhoun
Wa* i*fl'terced to this u justifi >Hle
method -'f proceeding hy considera
tions co'irely sclfi !. H* wisbcd.it
is thoij;dif. fnshew the Georgians
that he was the person to whom they
Bholdd ? vnk for an extinguishment
of the t-’dian title, so convince them
that he old either prevent or ef
fe t he lesired object, and that, if
I hey w ; 'hed to succeed, they most
•uppov’ him in his political v>ews
ard mrattires. That an officer of
V e general government should labor
t*> indu e the United States to vio
late at> !emn engagement, so the
disadvantage of one of the states of
the Union, is monstrous, hu true*
m-G - Jackson, if is unde si u ni,
pae'l* paled in this s- a dilou#
scheme of Mr. (’alli ‘u **: And it is
Del 8 H surprising that the repre
ser'er ve> and executive authority
of Georgia have with warmth, re
muntratcd against such an utter
disregard of ihe public faith, ealeu
latcd at oner to east a stigma on
the hcr.,-ter of the General Gov
ernment, a id to alienate from i the
nfc* ■•♦ion* of the patriotic state of
Go^gia.
It it, doublets, deeply to be la
melted that the principle of eivili
-2a<i-m should he so far repugnant to
that of the huoter state. as to com
pel the Indians, time after time, to
relinquish their 1 nds. But what
is founded is oature canno* be al
ter* and by cyman reg: lations. fn
every thi ig in creation the weaker
principle t?i es way so the stronger.
Among a barbarous people, supvTi
or individual strength overpowers
the inferior. In civilized life, the
superior strength of the community
puts down the comparatively inferi
or strength of the individual. Ci
tiUzation, being the more power
fui prin ipie, because it cherish*
n gceaier number of hu.nao be 8 *
eradicates tbe hunter state; lb*
contest foe dominion *®
b> the animosity of difl>r*nt ra-es
of men. I. is so It ip in the or
dee es nature; and therefore, with
flue a: quivs'-eoee in de wisdom ami
goodaon of Providence, we are l>
suppose that i* deoessar ‘h so. I
AH that the white men can and , is
10 foften tbe Uistioy of tbe Indians
In their Mine. If tbey c&n be en
lightened, christianized, and ivili
zrd, so much the better. But long
experience has shewn, ilia*, with
the North Ameri-an Indians at least,
this is of diffi ult execution aud
doubtful issue. At any rate, after
having cleared so vast a portion o!
oor country from the savages, after
having, for half a century, pursued
the policy of extinguishing tbe In
dian titles to land and transplanting
the Aborigines from one situation
to another, and when the general
government is still punning Ve
same policy in all othtr stales and
territories, it is not for the United
States, or rather for Mr Ualtioun
and Gen. Jackson, <o deny to Geor
gia. upon the faith of a bind! g con
tract, what is conceded without con
•rad, so every other section of tbe
Union and : dependencies.
