GEORGIA
Tlic following Message from the
President of the United Slates, was
yesterday communicated to both
Houses of Congress:
To the Senate and House of Represen
tatives of the United States.
Washington. Feb. 5, 1827.
I submit to the consideration of
Congress, a letter from the Agent of
the United States with the Creek
Indians, who invoke the protection
of the Government of the United
States in defence of the rights and
territory secured to that nation by
the Treaty concluded at Washing
ton, and ratified on the part of the
United States, on the 22d of April
last-
The complaint set forth in this
letter, that surveyors from Georgia
have been employed in surveying
lands within the Indian Territory as
secured by that Treaty, is authenti
ested fey information mofficinHy rc*
ceived from other quarters, and
there is reason to beiieve that one
or more of the Surveyors have been
arrested in their progress by the In
dians. Their forbearance and re
liance upon the good faith of the
United States, will, it is hoped, avert
scenes of violence and blood, which
there is otherwise too much cause to
apprehend will result from these pro
ceedings
By the oth section of the act of
Congress of the 30th ot March, 1802
to regulate trade and intercouse
with the Indian tribes, and to pre
serve peace on the frontiers, it is
provided that if any citizen of, or
other person resident in the United
States, shall make a settlement on
any lands belonging, or secured, or
granted by treaty with the Uni
ted States to any Indian tribe, or
shall survey or attempt to survey
such lands, or designate any of the
boundaries by marking trees or oth
erwise, such offender shall forfeit a
sum not exceeding one thousand dol
lars, and suffer imprisonment not ex
ceeding twelve months. By the
JCthand 17th sections of the same
statute, two distinct .processes arc
prescribed, by either or both of
which, the above enactment may be
carried into execution. By the first,
it is declared, to bo lawful for the
military force of the United States
to apprehend every person found in
the Indian country, over and beyond
the boundary line between the Uni
ted States and the Indian tribes, in
violation of any of the provisions or
regulations of the act, and immedi
ately to convey them in the nearest
convenient and sjfc route to the ci
vil authority of the United States, in
someone of the three next adjoining
States, or Districts, to be proceed
ed against in due course of law.
By the second, it is directed, that
if any person charged with a viola
tion of any of the. provisions or regu
lations ot the act, shall be found
within any of the United States, or
either of their territorial districts,
such offender may he there appre
hended, and brought to trial in the
same manner as if such crime or of
fence had been committed within
such State or District; and that it
shall be the duty of the military force
of the United States, when called up
on by the civil magistrates, or any
proper officer, or other person duly
authorized for that purpose, and ha
ving a lawful warrant, to aid and as
sist such magistrates, officer or other
persons so authoriz 'd, in arresting
such offender, and committing him
to safe custody for trial according to
law.
The first of these procssses is a
dapted to the arrest of the trespas
ser upon Indian Territories, on the
spot, and in the act of committing
the offenc . But, as it applies the
action of the Government of the
United States, places where the ci
vil process of the law has no authori
zed course, it is committed entirely
to th functions of the military force
to arrest the person of the offender
and after bringing him within the
f<-ach of the jurisdiction of the
Courts, there to deliver him into
custody for trial. The second makes
the violator of the law amenable on
ly after his offence. has been consum
mated and when he has »eturu .1
within the civil jurisdiction of the
Union. This process, in the first in
stance, it merely ot a civil character,
but may, in like manner, be enforc
ed, by calling in, if necessary, the aid
of the military force.
Entertaining no doubt that, in the
present case, the resort to cither of
these modes of process, or to both
was within the direction of the Ex
ecutive authority, and penetrated
with the duty of maintaining the
rights of the Indians, as secured both
by the treaty and the law, I conclu
ded after full deliberation, to have
recourse on this occasion in the first
instance, only to the civil process. —
Instructions have accordingly been
given by the Secretary of War, to
ihe Attorney and Marshall of the
United States in the Districts of
Georgia, to commence prosecutions
against the surveyors complained of
as having violated the law, while
orders have at the same time been
forwarded to the Agent of the Uni
ted States, at once to assure the In
dians, that their rights founded up
on the treaty and the law, are recog
nized by this Government, and will
be faithfully protected, and earnest
ly to exhort them? by the forbear
ance of every act of hostility on their
part, to preserve unimpaired, that
r ght to protection secured to them
by the sacred pledge of the good
faith of this nation. Copies of these
instructions and orders are herewith
transmitted to Congress.
In abstaining at this stage of the
proceedings from the application of
any military force, I have been gov
erned by considerations, which will,
1 trust, meet the concurrence of the
Legislature. Among them, one of
paramount importance, has been,
that these surveys have been at
tempted, and partly effected under
colour of legal authority from the
State of Georgia. That the Sur
veyors are therefore not to be view
ed in the light of individuals and sol
itary transgressors, but as the A
gents of a Sovreign State, acting in
obedience to authority which they
believed to be binding upon them
Intimations had been given that,
should they meet with interruption
thev would, at all hazards, he sus
tained by the military force of the
State, in which event, if the military
force of the Union should have been
employed to enforce its violated law
a conflict must have ensued, which
would, in itself, have inflicted a
wound upon the Union, and have pre
sented the aspect of one of these
confederated States at. war with the
rest. Anxious above all, to avert
this state of things, yet, at the same
time impressed with the deepest con
viction of my own duty, to take care
that the laws shali be executed, and
the faith of the Nation preserved, 1:
have used, of the means entrusted
to the Executive for that purpose,
only those which, without resorting
to military force, may vindicate, the
sanctity of the law, by the ordinary
agency of the Judicial tribunals.
It ought not, however, to be dis
guised, that the act of the Legisla-!
tureof Georgia, under the construc
tion given to it by the Governor of
that State, and the surveys made, or
attempted by his authority, beyond
the boundary secured by the Treaty
at Washington, ofApril last, to the
Creek Indians, are in direct violation
of the Supreme Law of this land,
set forth in a Treaty, which has re
ceived ali the sanctions provided by
the Constitution, which we have
been sworn to support and main
tain.
Ilapply distributed as the sover
eign powers of the People of this
Union have been between their Gen
eral and State Govermcnts, their
history has already too often presen
ted collisions between these divided j
authorities, with regard to the ex
tent of their respective powers. No
instance, howe.ver, has hitherto oc
curred, in which this collision has
hern into a conflict of actual
force, toother case is known to
have happened, in which the appli
cation of military force by the Gov
erment of the Union has been pre
scribed for the enforcement of a law,
the violation of which has, with any
single State, been prescribed by a
Legislative act of the State. In the
present instance, it is my duty to say,
that, if the Legislative and Execu
tive Authorities of the State of
Georgia should perserve in acts of
encroachment upon the tcritories se
cured by a solemn Treaty to the In
dians, and the mws of the Union
remain unaltered, a superadded ob
ligation even higher than that of hu
man authority, will compel the Exe
cutive of the United States to en
force the laws, and fulfil thedutiesof
the Nation, by all the force commit
ted for that purpose to his charge.
That the arm of military force will
be resorted to only in the event of
the failure of all other expedients
provided by the laws, a pledge has
been givt-n, by the forbearence to
employ it at this time. It is submit
ted to the wisdom of Congress to
determine, whether any further act
of legislation may be necessary or
expedient to meet the emergency
which these transactions may pro
duce.

Papers acco'upanying the President's Message.
Check Agency, Jan. 15, 1827.
Sir : A lew day siny, the little
Prince complained to me that the
Georgia Surveyors were surveying
lauds West of the line of the laic
GEORGIA SATESMAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1827.
Treaty ; and at his r quest, I wrot»-
to them, in his name, requiring th in
to desist from surveying air,
lands not ceded by the Treaty oi
Washington ; but the Surveyors m
regarding this demand as emanating!
from competent authority, persists
in their surveys to the line run In
Georgia Commissioners, as the line
between Georgia ami Alabama.
Yesterday a number of chiefs, with
the Prince at their head, requested
me to write again to the Surveyor
in their names, requiring of them to
stop surveying the lands West of the
line of the Treaty of Washington
which I did in the most friendly
terms. A Deputation of Chiefs ha
accompanied the bearer of the letter
with the avowed intention of stop
ping the surveyors.
The Chiefs have requested me t*.
apprise you that the authorities of
Georgia had extended their survey
West of the line of the Treaty ot
Washington; thereby violating the
express stipulations of that instru
ment ; which they held to be sacred
and to implore the government to in
terpose its authority to protect them
in their rights under the Treaty.
If Georgia is permitted to violate
that Treaty with impunity, why no)
not Alabama ? and they ask where
are they to look for protection but
to the government of the United
States
I have the honor to be,

To Col. John Crowell,
Agent for the Creek Indians.
Sir : I have received your letter
of the 15th inst. conveying the in
formation that the Georgia Surveyors
were surveying lands West of the
line of the late Treaty, and of the
measures which have been taken by
the little Prince and »thers to pre
vent them ; also the message of the
Chiefs, imploring the Government
to interpose its authority, to protect
them in their rights under the Trea
ty of Washington.
The President directs me to con
vey to the Little Prince, and the head
men, and warriors of the Creek Na
tion, his assurances that he feels the
binding obligation of the Treaty of
Washington no less forcibly than they;
and that it is his intention to execute
faithfully every clause and condition
thereof To this assurance he di
rects me to add, further, that he will
take immediate steps to secure to
them all the rights as they are guar
antied in said Treaty. But the Pre
sident expects it of the Creek nation i
that it will not frustrate his purposes
by taking any steps of a hostile char-!
acter themselves; and hq_ enjoins it
on you so to counsel them in regard
to this matter, as to induce tli m to
rely upon the protection of the Unit
ed States, and leave the controversy
wholly to the Government. They
have very properly made known
their grievances, as becomes good
people; and further it will be ex
pected of them they will not go, but
wait for such measures as the wis
dom of the Government may devise
to secure to them their rights as
these are guatantied in the Treaty of
Washington.
I am, very respectfully,

Sir : Complaints have been made
to the President by tlie Creeks,
through the United States Agent,
against the intrusions of the Survey
ors of Georgia on their lands, guar
antied to them by the Treaty con
cluded vvith them at Washington, oi
the 24th January, 1826. With these
complaints they have united an ap
peal to the President, calling for lys
interposition to protect them in their
rights, by causing this Treaty to be
inviolably maintained. The preten
sions under which these surveys are
attempted are in direct violation o
the Treaty, and, if persevered in,
must lead to a disturbance of the
public tranquillity. The Treaty o!
Washington, like all other treaties
which have received the Const tu
tional sanction, is among the supreme
laws of the land. Charged by the
Constitution, with the execution ot
the laws, the President will feel hin:-
selfcaßipelled to employ, ifnecessary
all the means under his control to
maintain the faith of the natiou, by
carrying the treaty into effect.

Sir ; Official information has been
communicated to the President, that
surveyors, acting under, it is presum
ed, the authority of the Government
of Georgia, have entered the lands
of the Creek Indians, directly in vi
olation of an existing Treaty, and
having been warned against proceed
ing, by the Agent of the United
States, have nevertheless persever
ed in their unjustifiable course. In
formation, though unofficial, has also
been received that the Indians have
interposed and prev ntedthem from
completing their surveys. The
Chiefs and Warriors of the Creek
Tribe have also appealed to the Pre
sident to protect them in their rights.
In this posture of affairs, it has been
determined to despatch a Special
Agent,for the purpose of bearing des
patches to the Governor of Geor
gia, and to the District Attorney and
Marshal of the United States for that
State, and also to the Agent of the
Creek Indians, to endeavor, if pos
sible, to prevent a resort to violent
measures, either by the authorities
of Georgia or the Indians.
Confiding alike in your zeal, ca
pacity, and discretion, I have deter
mined to select you for this service.
On the receipt of your instructions
you will proceed, with the least pos
sible delay, to Milledgeville, and de
liver the letter addressed to Gover
nor Troup, with your own hands, as
also to the Attorney and Marshall.
Should Governor Troup give you an
answer, either verbal or written, you
will communicate it by mail; as also
t he receipt from the District Attorney
and Marshal, of the instructions with
which you will be charged for them.
Having acccomplished this part of

you obtain in reference to the object
of your mission, you will promptly
communicate by mail: particularly
any acts of violence which may have
occurred, or which may be threaten
ed. Carefully abstain from any re
marks which may disclose your ob

SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,
Constructed upon Scientific principles, greatly to facilitate the
study, and abridge the labor of the Student— Viz.
“rudiments ofceograpiit on anew plan, designed to assist the MEMORY
BY COMPARISON AND CLASSIFICATION, ACCOMPANIED WITH AM ATLAS,
BY WM. C. WOODBRIDCE, LATE INSTRUCTOR IN THE j
AMERICAN ASYLUM FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB."
The experience of intelligent teachers has conclusively proved, that
the important science ot Geography is permanently acquired from the
system here presented in far less time than has been usually occupied—
-1 hat the memory is greatly assisted in the recollection of facts— That
the student becomes involuntarily interested, and by tbe peculiar mode
adopted is necessarily led to a thorough comprehension of every subject
treated. Ihe superior excellence of tho system may also be inferred
trom the very rapid sale it has obtained; five large editions (consisting
ot upwards ol (50,000 copies) of tbe School Geography have already
been disposed 01, and a sixth edition published. The following opinions
oi the work are iro in the most respectable sources and fully substantiate
tue above remarks.
From the American Journal of Science an
Arts, conducted by Benjamin Suliman,
Professor of Chemistry, Jlineraliogy, Etc.
in Yale College.
The principle object of the authors, w as
to give Geography that scientific arrangeme u(
wtiich has been so suceessluliy applied t'-
other branches of study. Most works u>‘
tins subject have presented little more tnan
a collection of facts, grouped by an impel
led method, and so littie connected by any
associating principle, us to overload tni me
mory and fatigue toe mind. Little or no
use lias hitherto been made, by the great.r
number of writers, of he important principles
of classification, in reducing geography to
the form of a science, and thus increasing
the facility of acquiring and retaining its de
tails. Tbe work is accompanied by an Atlas
on anew plan, exhibiting, in connection wilii
the outlines of countries, their climate and
productions, their prevailing religion, lorms
of Government, and degree* of Civilization,
with the comparitivc size of Tow ns, Hivers,
and Mountains. The plan is ingenous—and
the information thus communicated through
the medium of the eye, will make a much
stronger and more durable impression on
the mind than that received by mere descrip
tion, while it is also acquired with moie
interest and pleasure. We think Air. Wooa
bridge has succcecded well in Ins design, and
deserves the thanks and the patronage of tbe
community.

Let real improvements be made, especially
in elementary treatises for the instruction of
the young, and they have ouwordi.il appro

Woodbridge’s publications most undoubtedly
to be. The praise of originality in the plan,
and of a novel method of exhibiting and
tc,aching the science, must be awarded to
him. The principle of comparison and classi
fication which he has adopted, strikes us as
being peculiarly favorable, in general, both to
a comprehension of the subject treated of,
and to their retention in tiie memory. It
affords, as we think, as to mental discipline,
that precise advantage, which u system of
Geography should be designed to produce.
Scattered and unconnected facts, however
well remembered, on so many different sub
jects as geography presents to us, are far less
important, tiian distinct impressions correctly
arranged, and happily associated in the mind.

I have examined the Rudiments of Geo

with a due respect to the laws of mind. A
correct classification and arrangement at tho
objects of knowledge, comprised in any of tho
sciences, is of primary importance. lan
much pleased with the plan of the chart of
the inhabited world. The work is, in my
opinion, the i est fitted of any thing 1 bars
seen, to excite in the learner an interest in
atfi riding to the science of Geography, to fa--
c.hlate Ilia progress, and to discipline bis
mind.
Rev. Tho’s H. Gallaudett, Principal of

I have examined Mr. Woodbridge’Y
Geography and Atlas, with considerable at
tention, and 1 may add, with an increasing
conviction of the truth of an opinion which l
have long entertained, that the modes of im
parting useful knowledge to youthful minds,
are susceptible of very great and important
improvement- I have no doubt one month’s
trial of it will satisfy the father of a family,
or the intelligent master of a school, that it
combines advantages, which render it superior
to any book of tbe kind, for a similar pur
pose now exUr.t. And 1 sincerely hope, that
this valuable e.lemenUry treatise on a very
useful branch of education, wiil soon obtain
