Number 7. doubt but that the dignified and unbending course which the President has been com pelled to adopt with the Executive of this State, will be fully concurred in by the Na tional Powers. We see not how it can other wise be. There is not a member ol that body that does not know, that a Treaty with the Creeks was ratified about twelve months ago u‘ Washington City, nor is there an individual among them who docs not know under what peculiar circumstances it received all the sanctions provided by *he Constitu tion. The faith of the nation became pledged for its support. —The inviolability of the Constitution, around whose awful sane the whole physical energies and moral power of the Union are entrenched to maintain its lustre, is its security. The Indians are safe —The Nation will be just. stop the'nrcss to announce posi t'vely, that his Excellency the Governor, in the official character of “ Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this state,” has bid defiance to the Presidents intentions andjmeas vires relative to the Creek controversy, and has actually ordered out “the Gth and 7th Divisions of Georgia Militia, to repel any hos tile invasion of the Territory of this State— assuring them that Depots of arms and amu nition will be established in due time. 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. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. From the Nat. Intelligencer. 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.

John Crowell, Agent for the Creek Indians. 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 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 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 ed States, ant! 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, Your most ob’t servant. JAMES BAR BOLT. Department of Wvr, ? January 29, 1327. $ 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.

( Sir : Official information has been given the President that certain per sons, under the pretence of survey ing, have entered tho lands of the Creek Indians, directly in violation of the late Treaty concluded with them at Washington, in January last, and directly in violation of the law of Congress regulating intercourse with the Indian tribes. The Chiefs and warriors of this tribe have appealed to the President tor protection, by whom I am instruct ed to direct you, without a moment’s delay, to proceed to obtain the prop er process with which to arrest them, which process you will cause to be delivered to the Marshal of the Dis trict, that they may be made amena ble to law.

S Sir : Official information has been communicated to the President, that surveyors, ircting under, it is presum ed, the authority ofthe Government of Georgia, have entered the lands ot the Creek Indians, directly in vi olation of an existing Treaty, and having been warned agtiinst 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 prove nted them 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 ofthe 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, cither by the authorities of Georgia or the Indians. Confiding alike in your zeal, ca pacity, and discretion, 1 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 the receipt from the Dist. .ct Attorney and Marshal, ofthe instructions with which you will be charged for them. I riving acccomplished this part of the duty assigned you. you will pro ceed to the Creek Agency, and de liver th- letter addressed to Colonel Crowell. Any information which you obtain in reference to tho 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 ject, and be still more careful not to indulge in any commentary on the affair, which may subject you to per sonal difficult v.

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. From the Christian Spectator, of September, conducted by cn Association of Gentlemen, published at JYcw-Haeen, Conn. Let real improvements be made, especially in elementary treatises for the instruction of the young, and they have our cordial appro bation. Os this character we consider Air. 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 herst Collegiate Institution. 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.
