Pro aris, focis, ct patrii nostrum.
Central Jackscn. Some time since, we re
published in the Statesman, an article taken
from a Pennsylvania paper, which stated that
lien. Jackson, from the innrmaties of age, hail
declined being a candidate for the nest Presi
dency.—This article we believed at the time,
to be a political trick, and perfectly untrue.—
We believed that Gin. Jackson would continue
as he he always has done, to obey the calls of
his country. —However arduous the duties of
an office, or dangerous the post; when his
country calls he will be prompt to fill and dis
charge the duties of one—to occupy and di fend
the oilier.
Since w e published the above named article,
we have received the most satisfactory infor
mation, that Gex. Jackson is yet equally his
country’s servant, as he lias heretofore been
her benefactor.
do not recollect to have seen the char
acter of this great man, drawn with more ae_
curacy, or in more just aid brilliani(colours 9 '
than by Mr. Livingston of Louisiana, in his
speech before Congress; —fin exlract from
which will he found in our columns to-day.
We have been informed that Mr. L. was a
member of the General’s Staff, in the mem
orable bade at Ncw-Orleans.—Mr. L. was
.tn eye witness of the danger that threatened
a large portio i of the United States, from
conquest by 6 licentious and unprincipled
soldiery ; and he wes a witness of those pe
culiar attributes of Gen. Jackson which avert
ed these evils, and enabled him with a few
undiscip’in and militia, to save our country from
pillage, and our wive* and daughters from
rapine—well might Mr. L. with his brilliant
talents, after having witnessed the glories of
the Bth January 181,1, draw a correct picture
of our favorite Hero, who planned and achiev
ed so great a deed.
We admire the sentiments of Mr. Living
ston on another point; he says “But sir, in this
predilection, this past conduct, this future in
tent, has not influenced my conduct or opin
ion irf relation to the present Chief Magistrate,
after he was, according to the form our con
stitution, elected. *
Probably we are the more pleased with this
sentiment of Pdr. L. because it so exactly cor
responds with our own feelings, and imen
tionr.
It is too frequently the case in political con
troversies, and more particularly so with those
who strive to secure the election of a favorite,
that means are used rather to vilify, and de
press tils opposing candidate, than to set forth
and establish the well deserved and just claims
of the other; but tins course Gen. Jackson
has never pursued, and we fed assured, he
neither needs, nordesires such support. Those
high and noble principles which have hereto
fore been so conspicuous i:i his character,
would repel that support, an I that elevation
which grew out of the unjust aspersions of an
other. t
Respec ting the next presidency our course
is taken. Os all the candidates now be fore
the nation, General Jackson will b our e lioice,
end that for sever:.! reasons : fn <’, it Is due
Idm for hi ; past services ; and our country
needs his talents in the chair of In
the second place, we live had but thrv e pre
sidents in a period of twenty-four years, prior
to the election of Mr. Adams ; we arc there
fore disposed t j wish anew man at the head
of affairs, ct the expin ti i> of the present
quaternion round, and ns etten liar.-after as
advantage is probable.
But our fixed predib ction for Gen. Jackson
gives us no prerogative, cither of honor or
of right to abuse and vilify Mr. Adams, or
his administration.
If liis conduct be v. i c nud honorable, lie
is free from our reproach. If he deserves ap
plause, it cannot he an honorable spirit that
would refuse it. We despise that cowardice
which fears to allow an enemy his due. In
lh:s in ixim wc arc rooted—from this ground
the fiivor of friends, or the calumny of foes
•hall never entice us to swerve.
Our course is taken on another point;—
sve shall, with unceasing assiduity, advocate
the principle of restoring to the people nil im
portant elections.
IC2p J We have received lhe3 or 4 first num
bers of the Georgia Courier, a semi-weekly
piper, printed in Augusta,by Messrs. Dranlly
S,- Clarke.
So far as we arc able to judge, the mechan
ical execution is ofthc first order; —The im
ivessson appears to be taken on perfectly new
types, ami their arrangement indicates superior
workmans!up.—Trie paper is apparently well
conducted —we hope it will be a valuable paper
to disseminate useful knowledge : —Success
a'tend them.
Cc.ifc'.t.—lt affords us great pleasure to nc
<ice tbe following Reticle in the Georgian, of
the 16th inxt. It appears that Daniel Van
Slykc, Es j. of Nov.’-York, has, in company
with Mr. JeitVes, contracted taopen the canal
from the Ogeel ce to Savannah, at above
twenty thousand dollars Its s than ths esti
mate of their engineer, Col. Clir.ton. This is
the more gratifying, because the u bole esti
mate of the engineer teas believed to4ie put
down at the lowest extreme; and ive think
t!:is sentiment prevailed among some of the most
experienced engineers in the north —hut the
fact of its being taken by a gentli man of capi
tal, of prac'ical science, and who, for elcvfin
years, has bran one of the most libera! c<m\|
contractors in the United States, is a favour
able omen for the canaliing cnUrpri/e, tl at
seems a 1 length to have awakened up the en
ergies of Georgia.
We regard this circinnstarce the more pro
pitious, because we permit ourselves to be
lieve that the fulfillment of this contract* tip
on terma so lotv and expeditious, will very
much favor the execution of similar vroiks m
other paits of the state.
A-meeting of the Stockholders oi
the Savannah, Ogee lute and AJtamn
hn < 'anal Company w as held on Not
urday, for the purpose of taking into
consideration certain propositions
made for undertaking the work. The
proposals ot Messrs. Jenckes and
Van fcjlyke, were accepted at 8800
dollars per mile—to cut and com
pletely finish the whole route to the
by tire first of January
1828. Ihe latter of these gentle
men is intimately acquainted with
the business lie has undertaken, be
ing at the present moment, a large
contractor on Canals in the northern
states ; the activity and enterprise of
Mr. Jer.ckes is already advantage
ously known in this community The
length ofthc canal from the Savan
nah at Savannah, to the Ogechee,
according to the measurement of
Col. Clinton is sixteen miles, which
by him was estimated to cost $16:2,-
766, By the contract now entered
into, it will be completed for the sum
of $! 10,800, being au actual-saving
of twenty one thousand eight hundred
and seventy six dollars.”
“ The point at which the canal is
to enter the Savannah is not yet de
cided, but it is presumed that it will
be at Twigg’s landing at the wes

Board of Public Work?, to procure instruments,

From the Savannah Georgian.
The Treaty.— The Georgia Jour
nal asserts that according to Tan
ner’s Map, the quantity of Lands be
longing ;vi flic state of Georgia, re
served and guaranteed to the Creek
Indians according to the new Treaty,
is one million two hundred thousand
oerrs. There is yet much difficulty
in rightly comprehending this Sub
ject. ‘The line between Ibis state
and Alabama, is not yet run, and un
til it is run, it most be impossible to
know the exact boundary of the lands
ceded by the new treaty. It will he
seen by (he letter subjoined, which
we have not before published, that
the supplemental article to the treaty
was drawn in compliance with the
suggestion of our Senators, in order
to include all the lands within the
boundary of the state of Georgia.
When the treaty was submitted to
the Senate no doubt it was accom
panied by a draft from actual survey,
whose authority must be considered
.better than Tanner’s Map, which is
not from such a survey.”
“ Neither cur Senators nor Re
presentatives at Waslfington (one of
the latter of whom it is well known
was a commissioner of the old treaty
anil therefore, it may be supposed
intimately acquainted with ns well as
deeply interested in the question)
have yet afforded us the information,
which appears to be so much need
ed, as to the precise extent id' the
land ceded, or complained of the
treaty, and until we have all the
lights upon the subject of which it is
susceptible anil any thing tending to
undue excitement must bo prema
ture. We are not disposed to yield
an inch more than other, but we still
want that information without ivfc : ch
harsh remarks is unjustifiable.
The pillowing is the letter alluded
to above :
Dbpartmext oi War, }
March 31, 1826. \
SintThc senatorsol Georgia having
communicated to me that the late
treaty negotiated with the Creeks,
and now pending before the senate,
might, by a small extension of two
lines, on the west of Chattahoochic,
in certain contingencses, depending
on the direction ofthc river Chatta
hoochie, ar.d tlie line between Geor
gia, and Alabama, embrace all the ,
Creek lands in the state of Georgiy,
!, after having- obtained your appro
bation proceeded to negotiate anew
with the delegation here, for the
purpose of obtaining an additional
cession, conforming t < the views
above suggested. The utmost that
could bo effected is the additional
ir supplemental article enclosed.
The price agree i to be paid is
large .lor the additional extent of
country acquired. It was given
however, without regret, in belief
that it would place this unpleasant
subject on a footing that would be
acceptable to Georgia, and thereby
terminate a state of tilings whose
continuance could be contemplated
only with regret.
I have the honor to bo,
your obedient servant.

that a email extention of two boundary linos, ’1

GEORGIA STATESMAN, TUESDAY MAA 23, 1820.
lion to accuracy, subject to the immediate
scrutiny and daily inspection of our Senators
and tlieir friends in Congress. Tlds map,
which we ourselves have seen, is unquestion
ably deduced from the best authorities that do
at present exist. Assuming that the graphic
structure of this map was porrcet, (end it
could not be made more so, without actual
new surveys,) it was coneeodcd by our (!■ le
gation in Congress, and believed by oil, that
an augmentation of three miles to one line,
and fifteen to another, w ould “embrace all the
Creek lands in Georgia.”
It n as for this reason that thq former ad
vocates of the Old Treaty, voted for the rati
fication of this. It was for this reason that
our Vice President Van Burcn, obeyed the
wishes of our Senators ar.d friends in voting
ior i*. It was for this reason alone that Coh
Benton voted for it. The opinion was pre
dominant, that by the extension of these two
lines wc should get all our lands ; and they
icerr extended just so fur as if was thought
would embrace all the Creek lands in Geor
gia, and no mere. The opinion was also
predominant that if the lines thus extended,
should fail to embrace ail the lands, it would
be attributable only to the impossibillity of
determining more accurately hpw far these
lines ought to be extended.
That there will be found a small deficit, is
possible ; but its extent cannot be known un
til the line between this state and Alabama is
settled. M e hope this line may be run in the
course of next month ; although we arc not
authorised to say it is so soon intended. That
there will, however, be found a deficit of more
than a million acres, is what, wc think, no
one Ijclicris.
We are furthermore sustained in these re
marks by information received of our Senatqr,
Mr. Cobb, on his return to Georgia, who also
delivered his opinion much as we have, touch
ing the supplemental boundaries of the New
Treaty.
The Protest. l —The last Mails brought us,
besides a great mass of Documents, the
Protest of our Representatives in Congress,
against receiving the New Treaty, in plate of
the old one.
It is solemnly oUcdgcd that the “ claim o f
toe (.reek Indians to the land occupied bv
that tribe, in Georgia, was extinguished” in
ieb. 1825. If so, the Indians ought now to
pay back to the General Government the two
hundred thousand dollars v bich was ordered
to be distributed among them by its commis
sioners. But it is likely that this thriftless
race of beings have convert, and most of it into
Darien Money before this, and perhaps lost
some of the baliance ; if so, we think the
General Government would be doing injustice
to itself and tie country by receiving into her
treasury so spurious a currency in exchange
for specie. We cannot think so evil of Mr.
Adams, or Mr. Rush.
More of this from week to week through
the summer.
Tho bill from the Senate, “ to aid
certain Indians ofthc Creek Nation,
in their removal to the west of the
Mississippi,” was read a third time
when Mr. Strong, cf JNcw-York, de
manded the yeas and nays on the
passage of the bill. The House sus
tained the call, and tie IHI was pass
ed by yeas and nays, 158 to 15.
The bill “ making appropriation
to carry into effect the treaty con
cluded between the United States
and dhc Creek Nation, ratified the
22.1 of April, 1826,” was now taken
up.
[VY hen one ol the hills proceeding
this was under consideration Mr.
Forsyth roue to offer n protest against
this bill, and Mr. Stevenson, of I’eujj.
then made some remarks, which un
der the circumstances, were declar
ed by the Speaker, to be, with Mr.
Forsyth’s motion, out of order. Pass
ing over this preliminary matter, th<
foilowing presents the substance of
what passed, both before and afti r
ihe third reading of this bill, previ
ous to its passage ]
Mr. Forsyth, of Georgia, rose in
his place, and desired that a paper,
which he held in his hand, might be
Received and read.
Mr. YVebster desired the chair to
be informed whether the compliance
with such a request was in order ?
The Chair replied, a gentleman
desires that a paper, w hich he holds,
may he read to the House. Ifno
objecti ns are offered, the reading
will be ordered.
Mr. YY’ebster s*aid, that if the pa
per related to any subject before
the House, he supposed it might
properly be read, if not, he should
suppose it out of order.
The Speaker desired the gentle
man from Georgia, to state, briefly,
the nature of the paper lie wished to
I present.
Mr Forsyth stated that it was a
protest, drawn up by the delegation
from Georgia, on the sub ject of the
late tro; ly with the Creek nation,
tho ob ject of which was to save the
rights of the authorities of Georgia,
which might be interfered with by
that instrument.
Mr. Webster objected to its being
read at this time.
Mr Forsyth then said he should
accompany the paper by a resolution,
in which case its reading would be
m order.
The Chair replied lhat the hour
for tho presentation of resolutions
had elapsed
Mr. l’orsyth then desired leave of
the House to present the resolution.
The Chair then was about to put
(he question on suspending the rule
of the House, which limits the pre
sentation of resolutions to the first
hour; when
Mr. Starrs asked, if that rule should
lie suspended, whether the first ques
tion then before the House would
not be on the resolution offered by
lus colleague, (Mr. (iarnsev) and the
airictufnient toil, the < oir-idemtion
of w hich had been cut sliorl, in con
sequence of the hour’s having ex
pired.
The Chair replied that it would.
Mr. Bassett then asked if the rule
might not he suspended specially, as
well as generally f Tl.e Chair replied
that it might, it suck should be the
pleasure cf the House.
Tho question cn suspending the
rule, was then put, (which requires
two thirds to.carry it,) and decided
in the negative—ayes 80, Noes 67.
When the bill came up, Mr. Ste
venson of Penn, said—
Mr. Speaker : This morning, at
member from Georgia presented to
this House a paper or a protest on
behalf of the delegation from Geor
gia, which he declared contained the
views of the delegation from that
state, on the subject of the treaty
with the Creek Indians, and asked
that it might lie read, it having re
ference to bills which would come
up to be decided immediately. The
reading was objected to by the gen
tleman from Massachusetts, ( Mr.
Webster,) and tho hour ha vingelnj s
ed that is devoted to resolutions and
motions, it was decided by the Spea
ker that it could not he received.
A motion was then made to suspend
Ihe rule limiting the hour, fer the
purpose of receiving this pwper. This
was also objected to by the gentle
man from Massachusetts; and, by
a rigid application of a rule, the del
egation from Georgia was prevented
from offering their declaration or
protest, although 80 voted for its re
ception, and oily 67 against it. And
now, sir, the hills referring to the
Creek treaiy come up on their third
reading, and are to be passed, with
out the members from Georgia hav
ing an opportunity to present to the
House a paper which they think an
act of duty to their state to have
read before the passage of these bills.
Sir, I know not the contents of that
paper ; hut 1 am satisfied, from the
character of those who offer it, that
ts to oriiifflvciil in Vrtcpor (Trl forme
It is just that they should have an
opportunity of being heated before*
the question on the passage of these
bills is decided. Surely the mea
sures of this morning seem to justify
the charge of an unkind course hav
ing been pursued towards Georgia. It
offers some proof that (here is a
spirit of severity exercised by sortie
towards her. Sir, I cannot be satis
fied with this. I will feel for every
member ofthis nation.' No state can
ever shew that injustice has been
done her, and appeal to this nation
in vain. 1 fear that injustice has
been done to Georgia ; there are, at
i ast, some evidences of it. The na
tion may be slow to believo her sto
ry, hut, once convinced, it will re
dress her wrongs. What, sir, has it
come to this, that the delegation yl
a state, and one of the old states too,
has asked the reading of a paper
presented ly them to (his house, and
this has been denied I —denied by a
minority of the house too ? It is net
merely an act of courtesy, it is an act
of justice to hear the state, and be
fore the passage of these bills too.
I therefore move the question on
the passage of this bill be postponed
until to-morrow—in order that the
delegation of Georgia shall have an
opportunity to, lay tlieir protest be
fore the house within the regular
time, and I efore the question on the
passage of the bills.
Mr. Forsyth said, he felt sensible
of (he kindness of the gentleman
from Pennsylvania. The pretest had
not been read, and from th general
terms used in presenting it, might
have been supposed to embrace both
uilis It however relates to the next
hill; to this the delegation offer rio
resistance. '
Mr. Stevenson then stated that he
>hould withdraw his opposition to
the question on this bill, and renew
it on the other, with the view he had
stated.
. Mr. YVcbster said, that ho pre
-umed Ihe motion and remarks of
the gentleman from Pennsylvania,
had been cadtd forth by the observ
ations which he had made, When the
gentleman from Georgia had risen to
present the paper. 1 understood
(said Mr. YYebstej,) that the gen
tleman was desirous to present a pre
test, the hour of the day for the pre
sentation of such paper was then past,
and I could not suppose it to be ti
wish of the honorable gentleman to
enter a protest with reap ct to a c r
tain bill, till that till should he at its
passage, or should have been pass
ed. He certainly had no objection
to the gentleman’s pursuing soy
course, in respect to this matter,
which the Constitution allowed. On
the subject of protests, he belived,
the Constitution was silent, and the
.acticewas unprecedented, except,
I he believed, in,a single case, where
I a member had been permitted to en
j or on the Journals bis dissent, with
I the reasons of it, to some act of the
house. The practice was one, which
might become very inconvenient, if
frequently pursued. In the present
cj.se, he took it for granted, that
tho paper w hich the gentleman wish
ed to present, was both ui matter and
manner, all that it ought be ; hi
objection had only been to the imet
at which it whs offered. Whether
a protest might be entered on the
Journals of this house, he did not
know ; he should presume, that such
a practice might produce genie in
convenience—hut he had not tbe
leant desire to prevent the gentb -
mm from taking miv course in rc*
spect to the paper, which might lie
allowed by the rules of the house.
e t ursyth said he believed it
was strictly in order to present tlie
paper now—-a to its further dispo
rt ion, it might die settled to-mor
row, or on any other day—and, as nil
he wished With respect to this bill,
waste have the opportunity cf hav
ing this paper read before it passed,
he hoped the gentleman, from Penn
sylvania, would withdraw his motion
for the postponement.
f Mr. Stevenson assented—and the
follow ing protest was then present
ed by Mr. 1 orsyth—and read at the
Clerk’s table.
” The President of the U. States
having submitted to the House of
Representatives a contract made by
James Barbour, Secretary of War,
end certain Indians of the Creek
Tribe, dated the 261 h dayofJauary
18 26, which has been ratified by anil
with the advice aodconscnt of the
Senate ot the United States, and
having asked of Congress an appro
priation to carry it into effect, the
undersigned Representatives of (lie
People ot Georgia feel it their duty
respectfully, to represent to the
House:
That, by a contract made at the
Indian Springs between certain chiefs
ot the Creek Tribe and the Commis
sioners of tho United States, on’the
12th of February, 1825, the claim
of the Creek Indians to the land oc
cupied by that tribe in Georgia, was
extinguished, and provision made
for tlieir removal by the Ist day oi
September, 1826 ;
That this contract was, on the 7th
of March, 1825, duly and solemnly
ratified and proclaimed by the Pre
sident ofthc United States, acting by
the advice and with the consent oi
the Senate ; and the Congress, an
ticipating such contract, had appro
priated the sum of 210,000 dollars
towards the execution of it, Thi:
contract partially fulfilled on the
part ol tiic United Males, tlieir obli
gation under the compact with Geor
gia, of 1802,* and removed every
difficulty interposed by the occupa
tion ofthc Creek Indians to the full
exercise of all the vested rights of
the State over a considerable por
tion ofher soil and territory :
That the undersigned are under
the solemn conviction, that neither
the President alone, nor the Presi
dent and Senate conjointly, nor the
Government of the United States,
have any conrtituticual -power, with
out the consent of Georgia, to inter
rupt or invalidate, on any pretence
whatsoever, the rights secured t<
that state by this contract, made in
obedience to an act of Congress and
ratified with all due solemnity.
That the new contract, for which an
appropriation is now asked, differs
from that of the Indian Springs in
this, that it does not provide for the
removal of the Creek Indians, prior
to 1827, and does not expressly pro
vide for their removal from all the
lands occupied by them in Georgia.
The Undersigned are therefore, com
pelled by a just sense of what is due
to Georgia, to protest, as they do,
most solemnly protest, against it, as
violating the rights of that member
of the Union of which they are the
Representatives, leaving it to the
constitutional organs of the State so
vereignly to vindicate or to waive
those rights, as their own sense of
propriety, their duty to the People
oflhe state, anil tlieir reverence for
the union of the States under the
Federal Constitution, may dictate.”

DOLLARS!
The immense amount of grand capital
prizes remaining undrawn in the Wheel, ami
the fate of every nunibi r being determined in
one day, renders this, in its present stage, the
most interesting Lottery ever drawn in the
Southern States ; and it will bear a compari
son wnh any of the Northern Lotteries now
off ring.
But a small portion of Ticki ts remain un
sold, anil from the great demand for them, it
is highly probable that they v> ill be al! disposed
of sometime before the next drawing, and that
itw. , :n '•PPU
cation for tickets should be speedily made,
particularly by distant adventurers, and hold
ers of small j rizes.
