THE UNITED STATES AND
GEORGIA
The following Message from the
President of the United States, 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, cn 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
cated by information inofficially re
ceived from other quarters, and
there is reason to believe that one
or more of the Surveyors have been
arrested in their progress by the In
diras. 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 sth section of the act of
Congress of the 30th of March, 1802
to regulate trade and intercousc
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 sutler imprisonment not ex
ceeding twelve months. By the
16th and 17th sections of the same
statute, two distinct processes arc
prescribed, by cither or both of
which, the above enactment may be
carried into execution. By the first,
it is declared, to be 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 safe route to the ci
vil authority of the United States, in
some one 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 of the act, shall be found
within any of the United States, or
either of their territorial districts,
such offender may be there appre
hended, and brought to trial m 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, er 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< <l, in arresting
such offender, and committing him
to safe custody for trial according to
law.
The first of these processes is a
dapted to the arrest of the trespas
ser upon Indian Territories, on the
spot, and in the act of committing
the offence. But, as it applies tiie
action of the Government of the
United States, places where the ci
vil process of the law hasno authori
zed course, it is committed entirely
to the functions ofthe military force
to arrest the person ofthe offender
and after bringing him within the
reach of the jurisdiction of the
Courts, there to deliver him into
custody for trial. The second makes
the violator ofthe law amenable on
ly after his offence has been consum
mated and when he has iof urn d
within the civil jurisdiction of the
Union. This process, in the first in
stance. is merely of a civil character.
but may, in like manner, be enforc
ed, by calling in, if necessary, the aid
ofthe military force.
Entertaining no doubt that, in the
present case, the resort to either of
these modes of process, or to both,
was within the direction ofthe Ex
ecutive authority, and penetrated
vyith 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
the Attorney and Marshall of the
United States it 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 ofthe Uni
ted States, at once to assure the In
dians, that their rights founded up
on the treaty and the law, arc 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
right to protection secured to them
by the sacred pledge of the good
faith of this nation. Copies of these
instructions and orders arc 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,
I trust, meet the concurrence ofthe
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
they would, at ail hazards, be 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 ensi cd, 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 ibov ?11, 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 shall be executed, and
the faith of the Nation preserved. I
have used, of the means entrusted
to the Executive for that purpose,
only these which, without resorting
to military forqp, may vindicat * the
sanctity of the law, by the ordinary
agency ofthe Judicial tribunals.
It ought not, however, to be dis
guised, that the act of the Legisla-j
ture of Georgia, under the construe->
lion given to it by the Governor cf;
that State, and the surveys made, or
att- mpted by his authority, beyond
the boundary secured by the Treaty
at Washington, of April last, Io the
Creek Indians, are in direct violation
ofthe Supreme I.aw of'this land,
set forth in a Treaty, which has r; -
ceivedallthe sanctions provided by
the Constitution, which we have
been sworn to support ami main
tain.
Ilapply distributed as the sorer-'
eign powers of the People of this'
Union have been between their Gen
eral and State Governments, their
history has already too often presen
ted collisions between these divided
authorities, with regard to the ex
tent of their respective powers. No
instance, however, has hitherto oc
curred, in which this collision lias
been urged into a contl ct of actual
force. No other case is known to
have happened, in which the appli
cation of military force by the G av
erment of the Union has been pre
scribed for the enforcement of a law.
the violation of which has. with any
single State, been proscribed by a
Legislative act of the State. In the
present instance, it is my duty tosay.
that, ifthe Legislative and Execu
tive Authorities of the State of
Georgia should perserve in acts of
encroachment upon the teritories se
cured by a solemn Treaty to the In
dians, and the iir.vsof the Union
} remain unaltered, a supcraddcd ob
ligation even higher than that of hu
man authority, will compel the Exe
cutive ofthe United States to en
force the laws, and fulfil the duties of
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
tho failure of ail other expedients
provided by the laws, a pledge has
been giv< n, by the forbearence to
emplov 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 nisy pro
duce.

Papers accompanying the Pruiih it s .Message.
Creek Agency, Jan. 13, 1327.
Sir : A few day since, the little
Prince complained to me that the
Georgia Surveyors were surveying
lantfs West of the jli'V’ of the late
GEORGIA SATESMAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1827.
Treaty ; and at his request, I wrote
to them, in his name, requiring th- m
to desist from surveying any
lands not ceded by the Treaty of
Washington ; but the Surveyors not
regarding this demand as emanating
from competent authority, persisted
in their surveys to the line run by
Georgia Commissioners, as the line
between Georgia and Alabama.
Yesterday a number ofchicfs, with
the Prince at their head, requested
me to write again to the Surveyors
in their names, requiring of them to
stop surveying the lands West ofthe
line of the Treaty of Washington,
which I did in the most friendly
terms. A Deputation of Chiefs has
accompanied the bearer of the letter
with the avowed intention of stop
ping the surveyors.
The Chiefs have requested me to
apprise you that the authorities of
Georgia had extended their surveys
West of the line of the Treaty of
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 may
not Alabama ? and they ask where
arc they to look for protection but
to the government of the United
States.

Sir : 1 have received your letter
of the 15th inst. conveying the id
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 others 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

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 iiis 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. Bid the Pre
sident expects it ofthe Creek nation
that it will not frustrate his purposes
by taking any steps of a hostile char
acter themselves ; and he enjoins it
on you so to cotri.-cl them in regard
to this matter, as to induce th m to
rely upon the protection of the Unit

wholly to the Government They
have very properly made known
their grievances, as becomes good

Sin : Complaints have been made
to the President by the Greeks,
through the United States Agent,
against the intrusions ofthe Survey
ors of Georgia on their lands, guar
antied to them by the Treaty con
cluded with them at Washington, o
the 2 Ith January, 1326. With these
complaints they have united an ap
peal to the President, calling for his
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 ot
the Treaty, and. if persevered in,
must lead to a disturbance of the
public tranquillity. The Treaty oi
Washington, like all other treaties
which have received the Constitu
tional sanction, is amongthc supreme
laws ofthe land. Charged by the
Constitution, with the execution oi
the laws, the President will feel him
selfcompcllcd e to employ, ifnecessary
all the means under his control to
maintain the kiith of the nation, by
i carrying the treaty into effect.

RUDIMENTS OF GEOGRAPHY ON A NEW PLAN, DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE MEMOIIT
F>Y COMPARISON AND CLASSIFICATION, ACCOMPANIED WITH AN ATLAS,
BY WM. C. WOODBRIDGE, LATE INSTRUCTOR IN THE §
AMERICAN ASYLUM FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.”
I he experience ot intelligent teachers has conclusively proved, ttui
the important science of 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 bv the peculiar mode
adopted is necessarily led to a thorough comprehension of every subject
treated. The superior excellence of the system may also be inferred
from the very rapid sale it has obtained ; five large editions (consisting
of upwards of 60,000 copies) of the School Geography have already
been disposed of, and a sixth edition published. The following opinions
of the work are from the most respectable sources and fully substantiate
the above remarks.
From the American Journal of Science and
Arts, conducted by Benjamin Silliman,
Professor of Chemistry, Minerallogy, Etc.
in Yale College.
The principle object of the authors, w a *
to give Geography that scientific arrangement
which has been so successfully applied to
other branches of study. Most works on
this subject have presented little more than
a collection of facts, grouped by an imper
fect method, and so little connected by any
associating principle, as to overload ths me
mory and fatigue the mind. Little or no
use has hitherto been made, by the greater
number of writers, of the 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. The work is accompanied by an Atlas
on a new plan, exhibiting, in connection with
the outlines of countries, their climate and
productions, their prevailing religion, forms
of Government, and degrees of Civilization,
with the comparitive size of Towns, Rivers,
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 mote
interest and pleasure. We think Mr. Wood
bridge has succceeded well in his design, and
deserves the thanks and the patronage of the
community.

Woodbridge’s publications most undoubtedly
to be. The praise of originality in the plan,
and of a novel method of exhibiting and
teaching 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 the memory. It
affords, as we think, as to mental discipline,
that precise advantage, which a 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, than distinct impressions correctly
arranged, and happily associated in the mind.

Rev. Z. S. Moore, D. D. President of Am

I have examined the Rudiments of Geo*
graphy, and the Atlas, by Wm. C. Wood
bridge. The plan is new, ingenious and in
teresting. The author has formed his plan
with a due respect to the laws of mind. A
correct classification and arrangement of the
objects of knowledge, comprised in any of the
sciences, is of primary importance. I am
much pleased with the plan of the chart of
the inhabited world. The work is, in my
opinion, the best fitted of any thing I have
seen, to excite in the learner an interest in
attending to the science of Geography, to fa
cilitate his progress, and to discipline his
mind.
Rev. Tno’s 11. Gai.laudett, Principal of

Dumb.
I have examined Mr. Woodbridge's
Geography and Atlas, with considerable at
tention, and I may add, with an increasing
conviction of the truth of on opinion which I
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 djubt 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 the kind, for a similar pur
pose now extant. And I sincerely hope, that
this valuable, elementary treatise on a very
useful branch of education, will soon obtain,
that currency which it justly merits.
