Judge John son, of Sooth Carolina was absent, nnd Judge Baldwin, of Pennsylvania, dissented Below will ho found tiro points decided by the court, con tained in tho National Intelligencer of the 5th of Unroll. “On Sulurduy lust, Mr. Chief Jaslioe MXnsiiAi.L delivered the- opinion of ilte Court in this case, reversing the judgment of the Superior Court of Gwinnett coun ty, in Georgia. Tlie effect of thia de cision is, that the recent acts ol Georgia taking possession of tho Cherokee coun try, and providing for tho punishment of persons therein residing without iho li- ceuco of the Governor, and ivithoat ta king nn Ontli of allegiance to tho State, arc declared null and void, ns contrary to iho constitution, treaties, and laws of the United States. The opinion of tho Chief Justice wns very elaborate nnd door. He took a re view of the origin of tlie European title to lands in America, upon tho ground of discovery, lie established that this right wns merely conventional among the Eu ropean Governments themselves, and for their own guidance, and die regulation of llieir own claims in regard lo each other, nud in no respect changed or affected te. change the rights of the Indians as occu pant* of tho soil: That tlm only effect of the European lido was, as between European nations, to recogniso an exclu sive right of trade anti intercource with the Indians,■ mid of ultin.nlo domain ill the territories occupied by Iho Indians in favor of the nation or government whose subjects were die first discoverers t That nil tliu European governments, Spain, France, and especially Great Britain, had uniformly recognised tho Indian Ifibes mid nation* as ilisbnct comiiiuimieK, ca llable of, and entitled to, self-government, as States, nnd in .110 respect, except ns to their right of intercourse with other Eu ropean nations, ami tho right of pre-emp tion in the discoverers Iu purchnso their soil, ns under die control or power of the Europeans. They wero treated ns "na tions capable' of holding mid coding their territories, capable of making treaties and compacts, mid entitled lo all lliu powers n( peace mid war, mid nut ns conquered or enslaved communities, lln ilt inoii- slrnted this from various historical facts ; nud showed that when upou die Revolu tion iho United Colonies succeeded lo tlie rights and claims of die mother coun try, Iho American Congress uniformly adopted mid adhered lo the same doc trine, both before and alter the confedera tion; that since die adoption of the Con stitution the same doctrine bad as uni formly prevailed iu all the departments of the Government; and that tho trea ties with the Indians wore held to bo trea ties, and obligatory in the same sense as treaties between European sovereigns. He showed also that this had been the es tablished course of things recognised by Georgia herself, from lliu adoption of tho Constitution down to the year 1829, as evidenced hvliei solemn acts, compacts, and laws. He then showed that by the Constitution the exclusive power belong ed to tlio United States 10 regulate inter course tvithaho Indians, and 10 receive cessions of their lands; and to nittko Iron- lies with them. That llieir independence ol the Stale Governments had been con stantly upheld; that tlm right of posses sion to tlmir land was solemnly guarantied by tlie United States mid by treaties with them, until that title should, with llieir, own consent, ho extinguished, and that tlie laws passed by Congress had regula ted the trade and intercourse with the-rn accordingly. He now reviewed the laws of Georgia in question, and pronounced them to bo repugnant to dm Constitution, treaties, and laws, of the United Stutna. And ho concluded by maintaining that the party defendant in the present indictment was .entitled lo the protection of tho Con stitution, neaties,mid laws, of the United State*;, and that Georgia bad no author ity to extend her lawa over tho Cliuro- JHP country, or to punish the defendant ^disobedience to iltQse laws in the Che-' rokee conn’rv. regardless of ciinsrqne.i improper warmth, ooexlrnordinliry IWlu ihafewrc, be exhibited.
