~~The Hero of La Alancka—the Knight of
tic rueful countenance is eclips'd.
The foliowiug letter from Got. Troup is
in answer to the one from the Secretary of
War, home by Lieut. R. J. Vinton, dated
Jan. 29tb, which we published last wee!;.
Executive Department Geo.
Milledgoville 17 Feb. 1827.
Sir —1 received this afternoon
from Lieut Virtton, your letter of the
qSth ult. and read within the same
J.cur both it and the copy of it as
published in tho National Intelligen
cer of the 7th iost. No room was
last to mistake the mesnieg of this
dispatch. —Lieut. Vinton announced
himself, in an introductory note, a
copy of which is herewith transmit
?d, as the Aid of the Commanding
General; anti you arc sulliciently
explicit as to the means by which
vou propose to carry your resolution
into effect.—Thus the military ebur
xicter of the menace is established,
and I am only at liberty to give to it
. lie defiance which it merits. You
will distinctly understand, therefor ,
hat I feci it to be my duty to resist
to the utmost any military attack
which the Government of the United
States shall think proper to make on
the territory, the people, or the
sovereignty of Georgia, and all the
measures necessary to the perform
ance of this duty, according to our
limited means, are in progress. From
the first decisive act of hostility,
you will be censideredsand treated
as a public enemy, and with the less
repugnajjfc, because you to whom
we have ap
pealed for our own defence against
invasion, are invaders,
and what is more, the unblushing
allies of the savages, whose cause
you have adopted.
You have referred me for the rule
of my conduct to the treaty of Wash
lgtoa, “which, like nil other Trea-
ties, which have received (he con
stitutional sanction is among the
supremelawsof the land,” and which
the President is therefore bound to
urry into effect, “by a!! the means
under, bis control.” In turn, I take
’;e lib rfy tojefor you to a Treaty
<prior date, and prior ratification,
oncluded at the Indian Springs, a
copy of the Proclamation of which
nder the sign manual of (lie Pre
sident, I have the honor to enclose.
On a comparison of dates, the Pre
sident may think proper to remind’
the Congress that the old grant
claims preference of the new,* amt
that when vested rights have passed
he old Treaty, like the old grant,
has preference of the new.
lour have deemed it necessary
o the personal safety of Lieut. Vin
!on, to impose on him the injunction
t profound secrecy, in "the execu
tion of your orders, whilst you cause
o be published at Washington the
very instructions which disclose
ihose orders and enjoin that secre
cy, and which in fact reached this
place by the public prints even be
tore Lieut. Vinton bail an opportu
nity to deliver your dispatch. Yon
mistake the character of the peo
ple ot Georgia.—Officers of the U.
States, engaged in the performance
ot their lawful duties have only to
deport themselves as gentlemen, to
find the same security and protcc
’ion in Georgia, as under the rrgis oi
the Government at Washington
I have the honor tor be your ob’L
servant.
G. M. TROUP.
Hon. James Barbour,
Secretary of TVar.
’ue above letter stands alone, and un
equalled in the annals of Executive corres
iiondciicc. Tiiere is so much mildness, so
■nucli of tint softness cf speech which “ fum
'tli a troy anger,'’ —that appurent yielding of
(pinion, in order to secure the confidence of
.iis opponent, that if we mistake net, it will
ec preserved in the diplomatic archives of the
worid, that unborn nations may refer to it,
os authority, or a kind of text-book.
to drop hyperbole, we apprehend, that
na ’ °f the folly of Gov. Troup, will grow u
rerious difficulty.
-‘ resident Ada ws, in his Message to Con:
»rC3s says,
( . i R v the sth section of the act ol
engross of the 30th of March. ICO2
to regulate trade and intercourse
Vi, th tiie Indian tribes, and to pre
serve peace on the frontiers, it is
provided that if any citizen of, or
person resident in the United
tates, shall make a settlement on
• “>’ lands belonging, or secured, or
granted by Treaty with the llnit
o States to any Indian tribe, or
bad survey or attempt to survey
“eh lands, or designate any of the
J'indaries by marking trees or otii
erwistf, such offender shall forfeit a
::n not exceeding one thousand dol
ors, and suffer imprisonment not ex
ceedmg twelve months. Bv the
lfjt " and 17th sections of the same
two distinct processes are
prescribed, by cither or both of
inch, the above enactment may In
«rr,cd into execution. By the iirn
declared, tube lawful for ti
f-r- • cf 'U- IJui*f I fct'HU
Ito apprehend every person found in
the Indian country, over and beyond
tilt boundary line between the Unit
ed States and the Indian tribes, in
v iolation of any of the provisions or
. regulation 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, m
someone of the three next adjoining
States, or Districts, to be proceeded
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 he 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
lon by the civil magistrates, or any
proper officer, or other person duty
| authorized for that purpose, and hav
ing a lawful warrant, to aid and as
| sist such magistrates, officer or other
persous so authorized, in arresting
such offender, and committing him
to safe custody for trial according to
law.
The Delegation of Georgia, together with
those of the other States, made the law
“ regulating the trade and intercourse with
the Indian tribes.” This law, which defines
the duties ot' the Executive authorities of the
United States, has existed nearly twenty
five years ; during this period we know not
that any delegation from eitiier of the states
in the Union, has ever made an effort to alter
or amend it. But when the President at
tempts to carry this law into effect—when
he acts in accordance with its mandates, lie
is told by Gov, Troup that he is the “ Un
blushing Ally op thr Savages.
The man who uses this language, and
who again throws back “ defiance ” to the
General Government, is the same who in his
Message to the Georgia Legislature in 1835,
says “ one movement of the Congress unresist
atfy you, and all is lest—Temporise no long
er, —JValce known your resolution, that this
subjeet shall not be touched by them, but
at their peril 11
It. was fell for Got. Trmm to threaten Con
gress with peril, if they, in their wisdom,
should presume to legislate on a particular
subject, and to add terror and dreadful ap
prehension to the threat, he “ entreated most
earnestly ,” that all “ should step forward and
stand by their ARMS ! ” —This is the same
man who, through his Committoc on the
State of the Republic, reported that “ire will
no longer submit our retained rights to the
sniveling insinuations of bad men on the four
of Congress—oier constitutional rights to the !
dark mnd strained construction of designing j
men upon Jtoicial Bencrfs I ! And the
same report observes “ that the hour is come,
or is rapidly approaching, when the Stales,
from Virginia to Georgia, from Missouri to
Louisiana, must confederate.
After such language as the above, w hat
.else remains to cap and garnish the climax?—
What other additional remark, proclamation,
or order of Gov. Troup is requisite, to show
his determined hostility to the real welfare of J
Georgia, and to the peace and harmony of
the Union, than tlie following :
Executive Department, Ga. )
Millcdgeville 17, Feb. 1727. \
ORDERED,
the Attorney and Solici
-1 tors General of this State, in

ment of the United States, do take
all necessary and legal measures to
effect the liberation of the person so
arrested, and to bring to justice
either by indictment or otherwise
the officers or parties concerned in
such arrestation as offenders against
the laws and violators of the peace

7he more we love Georgia, t!ie more we
deplore these act* of hostility to her pence
olid welfare. Georgia lias an undoubted
claim to 4j,t the lands occupied by Mi* in
til* vMiUin her limits, an iwc couct : .vc it to
■» tli? dTy cf 'b- United ttstes to reject
GEORGIA SATESMAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1827.
her claim, and to extinguish Uie Indian title
to tlie lands occupied by them, as soon ns
possible. But are tlrese lands to be obtained
bjr the bayonet ? None but a maniac can
believe Dial it is the interest of Georgia 0> at
tempt tic : redress of her grievances by a re
sort to arms —the idea is ridiculous, and the
act would be damning to her political fame.
Yet, how reads tlie above orders from tbe ex
cellent G. M. Troup'/ Are they not a direct
appeal to arms ?
Is it possible Georgia will sell her birth
right in our national union so cheap—simply
to gratify the angry ambition of a single indi
vidual ? Will those revered fetv*—thtt small
band of revolutionary patriots who still re
main among us, submit to have the iuiieri
tance, which ihey earned by privation, toil
and blood, wrested from them and their chil
dren in this inglorious manner ? Will the
sons of those whose blood enriched our soil
desperate struggle for liberty, submit
to have tiieir inheritance sacrificed at the un
lioly shrine of Executive desperation ? We
trust ndt. If rumor speaks truth, his Excel
lency never had a father who endured priva"
tion and fatigue,—who fought and bled, to
achieve the liberty ami union o: our country.
United Slates end Georgia. —We noticed
in our last, the Message of the President to
both Homes of Congress, in relation to the
encroachments of Georgia upon the Creek
Territory, and gave some of the outlines of
the controversy which had already grown out
of the subject, and which were likely still far
ther to ensue.
We continue tlie subject to-day, by re
marks of Gentlemen on tlie question of fixing
upon a Committse of reference. It will be
perceived from these, that our Georgia Dele
gation were opposed to its reference to any
one of the Standing Committees of the
House; nor yet were they willing that any
Committee appointed by the Chair, should be
trusted with this matter. There was a fruit
less effort made on motion of Mr. Thompson,
of Georgia, to “appoint a Select Committee,
by ballot but this was casting too bare
faced an indignity, not only upon the Chair,
but upon every Member of the House.
In Senate, however on motion of Mr.
Berrien, the Message and Documents were
rtfered to Select Committee, composed of
Messrs Berrien, Benton, Van Suren, Smith
of S. C. and Harrison.—And we flunk Mr.
B. himself would have made the same selec
tion, had he possessed the power. Well
might our Savannah friend declare, “ we do
net fear for our rights in their hands
neither do ice at all apprehend that our rights
will be overlooked; we rather fear for the
iionor of our State, and the impartial adminis
tration of Justice between ourselves and the
Indians. But Mr. Forsyth effected more
delicacy [a sort of “Nolo Episcopari,”]
than Mr. Berrien. The former assures the
House that he could by no means consent to
form one of any committee having cogni
zance of the reference iu debate, for that he
felt too much as a party at issue ; aud we
• re not to add that Mr. F. would not have
declined a Marina Lieu in this case, as often
as Richard did the Crown,
We have not' time, and we believe the
reader would not have patience, to follow
every gentleman through a mass of desultory
discussion sufficiently prolix to fill no the
twenty four columns of our paper, which per
tained simply to modes and forms, and do not
effect the general merits of the question.—
Mr. Forsyth “ rejoices that the. strange cir
cumstances of this afluir have been presented
to Congress in such a lorin as to compel a
decision between the General Government
and Georgia,” and \vc concur in this senti
ment nmv, because we avowed the same last
winter, when, if tvo err not, Mr. F. voted
against printing or spreading the “ strange
circumstances of this case” iiclorc that body.
At this stage of the debate, it were impro
per to indulge in political speculations and
conjectures, or attempt to predict what Con
gress shall decree in the case. From the turn
which it lias taken, we may reasonably ex
pect it will employ their attention for the re
mainder of the term.
Composed of the same elements, and near
ly the same individuals and opinions as pre
vailed at the ratification of the Treaty of
Washington, in abrogation of the Old one,
we can hardly expect that Congress will now
pursue a different course, or nullify what
they solemnly sanctioned but so recently,
ouching the same question.
The question whether the Old Treaty be
valid or not, has been concluded by the
Treaty making powers, to bo fully determined.
Whether the New Treaty be valid or not, ap
pears to us a question Which Georgia is not
competent to decide. “It is the law of the
land,” says a Richmond paper, “ right or
wrong, until annulled by the proper authori
ty, and as binding on Georg!", as the Article
of the Constitution which assigns her but
two Senators in Congress. But she has not
waited for tlie decision cf the competent tri
bunals.” She has taken the validity and in
terpretation of the Treaty into her own hands,
and called upon her Troops to sustain her in
its violation.
Under this view of the case, the President
of the Unite! 1 States has taken proper meas
ures ta maintain tne faith of Hie Nation, by
compelling th- laws to be respected, and the
Treaty of Washington to be carried into ef
fect. He now very properly subnuts his
proceedings to Congress, who will fearlessly
and, we doubt not, impartially pass upon
their propriety and constitutionality.

Geography. —lt is now little more than six
years since the copy-rigid of Woodliridge and
Willard’s Geograpiy wts first registered, the
foivjK of the Dwtffct of Connecticut, and!
vhc bitter of New-Yorii, during which time,
the sales ot this uJnlvslled (took have amount
ed to SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND COPIES, j
exclusive of the press at edition. Yet the )
great merit of this wore rests not npon any i
equivocal or mutable basis, as a sudden popu
larity, or a vast circulation. Tlie foundation
of the plan is hid deep iu tlie philosophy of
tbe human mind, ami is supcrslructed in the
simplest harmony with its laws.
The distinguishing excellence, and if,? pe
culiar merit which hare given to this Scaool-
Book so high a reputation over all other books
professtag to teach the “ Sudimenls of Geo
graphy,” have been distiurtiy set forth and
exhibited to the public ere by some of the
most venerable authorities in this Continent
and in Europe. The nun who have thus
vouched with their names to the guardians of
rising generations fur the great and superior
usefulness of this Geography, as an elemen
tary Class-book, arc men whom the world
are bound to think ; -apatite of trilling with
the credulity of pslitfe vpinitwi, or of dissem
bling their own, lor ti e purpose merely of
flattering the hopes of the humble authors of
the work, whom tfcey have never seen. The
men whose recommendations are append
ed to our introductory notice, are tlie venera
ble sires and guardians of our country’s Lite
rature—The founders of onr Universities, and
the Preees et Cura tores Conscript! of our
Colleges of learning. Their language is
neither salutatory Bor ambiguous.—lt is the
language of rational philosophy, matured in
the halls ol experience, and therefore worthy
of ingenious regard by those who are entrust
ed with tlie education of children.
If it lie important to have books at all in
our schools, it is obviously important that
they lie provided with the best. But here a
difficulty occurs .—The itinerant vender of
“ School-niaster-larnin,” who has committed
to memory a small assortment of unconnect
ed facts, and can still repeat the Rivers and
Mountains in ouo book, and “ do all ihe hard
sums” in another, will allow no other book
to be used under bis dominion, except those
from whfeh he himaulf learned to repeat sun
dry lessons in Id* you'd. Such Grammar
and Geography men are usually an over
“match for reason or argument, and you may
expect they will as soon yield their prejudices,
as the Nootka Aborighiecs will barter their
sharpened stones for damask steel.
The truth, we suspect, is this—There are
many teachers who would soon become lost and
bewildered in any other hook than their own,
und therefore they advise and require their
pupils to learn the same, things, and from the
same book that they themselves did. Ifeuce,
the complaint so common among parents and
guardians, “ that they are forced to purchase
a different set of School-Books for their chil
dren whenever anew Teacher is employed
Andjience also, tlie necessities of a Board of
l-Jiauiiiiing committee, with powers to re
ject aud approve in Ur.hoisa of Bfiuks aud
teachers.
But we intended to speak only of the Book
before us. Mr. Woodbridge, whose name
firet appears on the title-page, is author of the
first part, or Modem Geography ; This gen
tleman has been advantageously known as a
Teacfier in the American Asylum for the
Deaf and Dumb.
Mrs. Emma Willard, who is the author of
die Second Part, or Ancient Geography, is
i doubtless, the most learned and accomplished
female, teacher, at present, in America.—
There was a time when this distinguished
Matron of Bellcslettres and Philosophy might
have received proposals for presiding over a
Female U niversity or Seminary, in Georgia,
had not the liberal efforts of Campbell, Lump
kin, Thomas and others,,been defeated.
Mrs. Hillard has labored with more inde
latigable zeal, and has actually accomplished
more, to elevate the standard of education
among her own sex, than all tlie learned
Faculties and Colleges in our country. Oi
the truth of this she has had the most honora
ble assurance from the present Chief Magis
trate of the United States—From the three
Ex-Presidents, and particularly from the late
lamented Thomas Jefferson—From Baron
Humbolt, La Fay ette, and other eminent in
dividuals of the Institutes both of France and
Germany. We have seen an extract from a
highly respectable Journal, (“Revue Ency
clopedique,”) published -at Paris, in which
tins work receives the most unqualified en
comium of the reviewer.—ln short, we re
commend this book, for its own sake, to all
tlie pupils and Teachers of Schools in our
country, as the best Elementary Class-Book
of Geography which we have seen, or that is
likely to appear.
Foe the Georgia Statesman.
Monsieur Tonson's Come again.
The Editors of the Recorder,
under date of the 12th of February,
has among other pertinent remarks
on the tarriff system, informed us that
Monsieur Tonson come again ; they
say and that with truth, that they
who hoped the day was far distant
when another effort would be m >de,
to extort from the cultivator of the
soil, in the shape of duties on im
ported goods, a still larger portion
ed' nis hard earnings, may now dis
cover how eggregiousiy they wer
mistaken, that they deceived them-
when they believed any thing
'Wild content the New England
Manufacturers, short of such pro
tecting duties as will entirely exclude
from our markets European goods ;
leaving us of thu South at the ten
der mercy of the Eastern men, to
buy of them and them aloric, at such
prices, and of such quality, as may
suit their interest and convenience- —
They then give us . xtrsicts from the
Speeches, of Messrs. Buchannon oi
Pensylvania, Hamilton of S. C. Ste
venson of Virginia, McLane of Del
aware, Cambrcling of New-York
Clayborrti of Virginia, and J.fitcbtTl
ol S.-ulh-CaroUnn, Ml portraying in
lively colours the injustice of th
measoie, it being ono calculated
|«pp:\»s tu a peculiar manner ti.
poorer classes of tho people gene
rally, and particularly those ot the
Southren States—l was somew hat
surprized that they had given us no
splendid speeches on that sirhject
fromour own delegation, no evidence
jof opposition to so baneful a mea
j sure fiotn the Representation of
Georgia,—ran it be that our Dele
gation in Congress sre Jess mindful
of the interest of their constituents,
than others ? Georgia certainly has
much at stake on this subject.—Agre
able to the provisions of the bill now
under discussion in Congress, the
consumers, of a certain description
of course woolens will have to pay
a duty of 2,00 per cent on the ac
tual cost of the article, is this equit
able 1 is it just ? But it appears to
be the policy of the manufacturing
districts, under the auspices of the
present chief Magistrate, to heap
up duty on duty until they intirely
exclude from our shores every tra
de of commerce but such at they
think proper to send us, mid that at
their own prices; when we shall be
placed in the situation of “hewers of
wood and drawers of water” in reali
ty ; they call it a protecting duty
and so 1 suppose it may be termed
but who are the protectors of these
manufacturers ? or in other words
at whose expense is this protection
afforded 1 the poor People of th©
Southern States have the burden to
boar,—
As I could learn nothing of the
course taken by the Georgia Repre
sentation from the publication in the
Recorder above alluded to, and feel
ing considerable interest on the sub
ject ; I reiered to Nile’s Register for
information, whero in the Thirty-first
volume page 351 it will be seen,
that on motion of .Mr Buchannon of
Pensylvania, to discharge tho c.om
miitee of the whole on the State of
tho Union, from the further consider
ation of the bill for the protection of
woolen manufacturers ; the Yeas and
Nays were required to be taken when
tlie names of three and three only
of our Delegation, were found in
tavor of the motion, surely a more
important measure will not be acled
on during the session. But contrary
to all expectation and to my inexpres
sible surprize the name of Mr For
syth is there recorded against th;
motion, and consequently in favor of
tlie Bill.
Yes instead of raising his voice
like a trumpet, instead of calling to
his aid those powerful strains of elo
quence for which ho stands conspi
cuous, instead of dc<;lanng._(p tlie
house and to the world his opposi
tion to a measure, so peculiarly op
prossive to bis constituents, as that
of increasing the duty on one of the
most necessary articles of consump
tion, instead ot contesting every inch
of ground on a subject calculated to
effect with so much inequality tlie
people of these United States,
instead of protesting with Mr. Ham
ilton, Stev nson, McLean, and others
against a bill that will amount to an
entire prohibition, Mr. Forsyth who
is “always ready for trial” is found
actually voting for the Bill.—As no
oth r member from the South of
Virginia and but two or three were
from that State, were found in sup
port of this unjustifiable measure I
cannot account for Mr. Forsyth’s
vote, and was it not that he has be
fore manifested a disposition to join
the New England policy, l should
believe that his vote had been recor
ded in tho negative through mistake,
—but when his vote against the
resolution expressive of the impropri
ety of retaining in the house of Re
presentatives the Election o< Presi
dent and Vice-President of the Unit
ed States,and his activity in attempt
ing tqjpsecure Mr Clay, from (lie
charg of corruption is recollected,
together with his public life general
ly, the whole presents amass of in
consistency and myst.y, which no
thing but the hand of iime can un
ravel, perhaps ho may be vain
enough to be looking ahead to the
Chief Magistracy of the Union, but
let him be Governor of Georgia
first il he can.

Mr. Bonj. Clark of this city had

visiting his traps, he found one of
them was missing, and being unwill

pursued tho track of the fugitive for
five miles,when instead of a fox ho
found he had “ caught a tartar ,” ire
the shape of an enormous she-wolf.
Tier worship showing signs of battle,
Mr. Clark armed himself with a club,
and after a well contested conflict,
made capture of his enemy, whom be
actually brought to town alive. The
