\OL. 1. J^tatesiaiaitt Milledceville, Tui .“day, May 16, 1526. 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 tern part ci'the city. The work i# to be begun immediately, by Mr. Je'ickcs, whose hands will commence clearing the ground thQ present week. Mr. Van Slyke, will he prepared with a large reinforcement of workmen to commence operations about the first of November next.'’ Mr. Borsitt, who was deputed by the Board of Public Work?, to procure instruments, &e. returned to this place on the 18lh instant, and will hnmcdiatdy'procecd to join the Chief Engineer and Commissitfn rj at the dividing ridge between the waters of the Chaltaboochic and Tennessee, where the selection of lids route nil! be ?*•■*»t 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. JAMES BARBOUR. The Presid: nt of the U. States. lunr.cdiati !y after the Senators from Geor gia “ rommuiiiehtrd to tl.c Secretary of War that a email extention of two boundary linos, ’1 as specified in the New Treaty, “ might em brace all the Creik l.ands in the State of Georgia,” lie was requested by the chairman of tltc Committee on Indian affairs, to collect all the rccotds extant, in the form of surveys, either civil or military—every thing pel tam ing to the treaty lines, state boundaries, tic. or relating at all to tha< *< ction cf cooidry, accompanied by official reports, authentic pa pers and maps ; which was done, and anew ,nd faithful map of the Creek territory in qtir ation was m»de out. with scrupulous atlrn- 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.” ALFRED CUTIIBERT, GEO. CARY, JOHN FORSYTH, EDYV. F. TATTNALL. C. E. HAYNES, WILEY THOMPSON, JAMES MEKRIWETHER, Mr. Hayden, of New-York, called for the Yeas and Nays upon the pas sage of the bill. The call was sus tained by the House, anil tho ques tion being taken, it was decided in the affirmative.
