Statesman
Monday February, 26, 1827.
The Hero of La Mancha—the Knight of
the rueful countenance is eclipsed.
The followiug letter from Gov. Troup is
in answer to the one from the Secretary of
War, borne by Lieut. J. It. Vinton, dated
Jan. 29th, which we published last week.
Executive Department. Geo. ?
Milledgeville 17 Feb. 1827. 5
Sir—l received this afternoon
from Lieut Vinton, your letter of the
29th ult. and read within the same
hour both it and the copy of it as
published in the National Intelligen
cer of the 7th inst. No room was
left to mistake the meaning of this
dispatch.—Lieut. Vinton announced
himself, in an introductory note, a
copy of which is herewith transmit
ted, as the Aid of the Commanding
General; and you are sufficiently
explicit as to the means by which
you propose to carry your resolution
into effect.—Thus the military char
acter of the menace is established,
and I am only at liberty to give to it
the defiance which it merits. You
will distinctly understand, therefore,
that I feel 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, arc in progress. From
the first decisive act of hostility,
you will be considered and treated
as a public enemy, and with the 1 -ss
repugnance, because you to whom
we might constitutionally have ap
pealed for our own defence against
invasion, arc yourselves the invaders,
and what is more, the unblushing
allies of the savages, whose cause
you have adopted.
You have referred rre for the rule
of my conduct to the treaty of Wash
ington, “which, like all other Trea
ties, which have received the con
stitutional sanction is among the
supreme laws of the land,” and which
the President is therefore bound to
carry into effect, “by all the means
underg his control.’' In turn, I take
the lib rty to refer you to a Treaty
of prior date, and prior ratification,
concluded at the Indian Springs, a
copy of the Proclamation of which
under the sign manual of the 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, and
that when vested rights have passed
the old Treaty, like the eld grant,
has preference of the new.
Your have deemed it necessary
to the personal safety of Lieut. Vin
ton, to impose on him the injunction
of profound secrecy, in the execu
tion of your orders, whilst you cause
to be published at Washington the
very instructions which disclose
those orders and enjoin that secre
cy, and which in fact reached this]
place by the public prints even be
fore Lieut. Vinton had an opportu-j
nity to deliver your dispatch. You
mistake the character of the peo- j
pie of Georgia.—Officers of the U.
States, engaged in the performance ,
of their lawful duties have only to!
deport themselves us gentlemen, to ■
tin-1 the same security and protec
tion in Georgia, as under the a*gis of
tne Government at Washington.
I have the honor to be your ob’t. i
servant.
G. M. TROUP,
lion. James Barbour,
Secretary of I Far.
The above letter stands alone, and un
equalled in the annals of Executive corres
pondence. There is so much mildness, so
much of that softness of speech which “ turn
cth away anger,"— that apparent yielding of
opinion, in order to secure the confidence of
his opponent, that if we mistake not, it will
be preserved in the diplomatic archives of the
■world, that unborn nations may refer to it,
as authority, or a kind of text-book.
But to drop hyperbole, we apprehend, that
out of the folly of Gov. Troup, will grow a
serious difficulty.
President Adams, in his Message to Con.-
gress says,
By the sth section of the act of
Congress of the 30th of March. 1802
to regulate trade and intercourse
with the Indian tribes, and to pre
serve peace on the frontiers, it is
provided that if any citizen of, or
any person resident in the United
States, shall make a settlement on
any lands belonging, cr secured, or
granted by Treaty with the Unit
ed 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
: am not exceeding one thousand dol
lars, and suffer imprisonment not ex
ceeding twelve months. By the
16th .mil 17th sections of the same
statute, two distinct processes are
Vrc.. v Tibcd, by cither or both of
'.hich, 1 fie above enactment may be
< arm'd into execution. By the fir>
• is declared, to be lawful for tl
--.Try rof tbo United State
to apprehend every person found in
the Indian country, over and beyond
the boundary line between the Unit
ed States and the Indian tribes, in
violation 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, in
some one 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 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 in the
same manner as if such crime or of
fence had been coinmitteed 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 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 of the Executive authorities of the
United States, has existed nearly twenty
five years ; during this period we know not
that any delegation from either of the state s
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, he
is told by Gov. Troup that he is the “ Un
blushing Ally of the Savages.
The man who uses this language, and
who again throws back “ defiance" to the
General Governint nt. is the same who in his
Message io the Georgia Legislature in 1825,
says “ one movement of the Congress unresist
ed by xou, and all is lost—Temporise no long
er, —Make known your resolution, that this
subject shall not be touched by them, but
at their peril!!
It was left for Gov. Troup 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, lie “ entreated most
earnestly,” that all “ should step forward and
stand by their ARMS ! ” —This is the same
man who, through his Committoe on the
Slate of the Republic, reported that “we will
no longer submit our retained rights to the
sniveling insinuations of bod men on the floor
of Congress—our constitutional rights to the
dark and strained constructions of designing
men upon Judicial Benches ! ! And the
same report observes “ that the hour is come,
or is rapidly approaching, when the States,
from Virginia to Georgia, from Missouri to
Louisiana, must confederate.
After such language as the above, what
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
Georgia, and to the peace and harmony of
the Union, than the following :
Executive Department, Ga. ?
Milledgeville 17, Feb. 1727. $
ORDERED,
Fiji HAT the Attorney and Solici
ts tors General of this State, in

all necessary and legal measures to
effect the liberation of the person so
arrested, and to bring to just’ce
either by indictment or otherwise
the officers or parties concerned in
such arrestation as offenders against
the laws and violators of the peace

officers and citizens of this State—
That they give professional advice
and assistance in their defence against
any prosecution or action which may
be instituted against them as officers

they promptly make known to this
Department their acts and doings in
the premises. It is moreover en
joined on the civil magistrates of
this State, having competent juris

he may be entitled to receive.

j ORDERS
THE Major Generals command

Bv the Commander in Chief,
‘ JOHN W. A. SANFORD,
. lid-de-Ca:np.
The mere ire love Georgia, the more we
deplore these acts of hostility to her peace
and ncliare. Georgia has an undoubted
: claim to all the lands occupied by the in
j . Aits within her limits, and we conceive it to
’ jc the 2-7 ci’ to :vp.’
GEORGIA SATESMAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1827.
her claim, and to extinguish the Indian title
to the lands occupied by them, as soon as
possible. But are these lands to be obtained
by the bayonet ? None but a maniac can
believe that it is tiie interest of Georgia to at
tempt the 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 the above orders from the 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 few—tbit small
band of revolutionary patriots who still re
main among us, submit to have the inheri
tance, which they 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
in the desperate struggle for liberty, submit
to have their inheritance sacrificed at the un
holy shrine of Executive desperation ? We
trust not. If rumor speaks truth, l.is Excel
lency never had a father who endured priva
tion and fatigue, —who fought and bled, to
achieve the liberty and union of cur country.
United States and Georgia.— We noticed
in our last, the Message of the President to
both Houses 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 fur
ther to ensue.
We continue the subject to-day, by re
marks of Gentlemen on the 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 Chai)-, 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
refered to Select Committee, composed of
Messrs Berrien, Benton, Van Buren, Smith
ofS. C. and Harrison.—And we think Mr.
B. himself would have made the same selec
tion, had he possessed the power. Well
might our Savannah friend declare, “ we do
not fear for our rights in their hands
neither do tee at ail apprehend that our rights
will be overlooked; we rather fear for the
honor of our State, and the impartial adminis
tration of Justice between ourselves and the
Indians. But Mr. Forsyth affected 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 in debate, for that he
felt too much as a party at issue ; and we
are not to add that Mr. F. would not have
declined a nomination 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 up the
twenty four columns of cur paper, which per
tained simply to modes and forms, and do not
effect the general merits of the question.—
Mr. Forsy th “ rejoices that the strange cir
cumstances of this affair have been presented !
to Congress in sucii a form as to compel a !
decision between the General Government >
and Georgia,” and we concur in this senti
ment noir, because we avowed the same last
winter, when, if we err not, Mr. F. voted
against printing or spreading the “ strange
circumstances of this ease” before that body.
At this stage of the debate, it were impro
per to indulge in political speculations and
conjectures, cr attempt to predict what Con
gress shall decree in the case. From the turn
which it has taken, we may reasonably ex
pect it will employ their attention for ;he 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 Cid one,
we can hardly expect that Congress will now
pursue a different course, or nullify what
they solemnly sanctioned but so recently,
touching the same question.
The question whether the Old Treaty be
valid or not, has been concluded by the
Treaty making powers, to be 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 Georgia, as the Article
of the Constitution which assigns her but
two Senators in Congress. But she has not
! waited for the decision of 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
:ts violation. z ,
Under this view of the case, the President
[ of the United States has token proper meas
‘ ures to maintain the faith of the Nation, by
compelling the laws to be respected, and tiie
Treaty of Washington to be carried into ef
fect. He now very properly submits 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-right of Woodbridge and
Willard’s Geography was first registered, the
former of the District of Connecticut, and
the latter of New-York, during which time,
the sales of this unrivalled book have amount
ed to SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND COPIES,
exclusive of the present edition. Yet the
great merit of this work rests not upon any
equivocal or mutable basis, as a sudden popu
larity, or a vast circulation. The foundation
of the plan is laid deep in the philosophy of
the human mind, and is superstructcd in the
simplest harmony with its laws.
The distinguishing excellence, and the pe- '
culiar merit which have given to this School-
Book so high a reputation over all other books
professing to teach the “ Rudiments of Geo
graphy,” have been distinctly set forth and
exhibited to the public eye by some of the
most venerable authorities in this Continent
and in Europe. The men who have thus
vouched with their names to the guardians of
rising generations for the great and superior
usefulness of this Geography, as an elemen
tary Class-book, are men whom the world
arc bound to think incapable of trifling will)
the credulity of public opinion, or of dissem
bling their own, for the purpose merely of
flattering the hopes of the humble authors of
tiie work, whom they have never seen. The
men whose recommendations are append
ed to our introductory notice, are the venera
ble sires and guardians of our country’s Lite
rature —The founders of our Universities, and
the Preces et Curatores Conscript! of our
Colleges of learning. Their language is
neither salutatory nor ambiguous.—lt is the
language of rational philosophy, matured in
the halls of experience, and therefore worthy
of ingenious regard by those who are entrust
ed with the education of children.
If it be important to have books at all in
our schools, it is obviously important that
they be provided with the best. But here a
difficulty occurs .- —The itinerant vender of
“ School-master-larnin,” who has committed
to memory a small assortment of unconnect
ed facts, and can still repeat the Rivers and
Mountains in one book, and “ do all the hard
sums” in another, will allow no other book
to be used under his dominion, except those
from whb h he himself 1c irned to repeat sun
dry lessons in his youth. 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 Abcriginees will barter their
sharpened stones for damask steel.
The truth, we suspect, is this—There art
many teachers who w ould soon become lost and
bewildered in any other book than their own,
and therefore they advise and require their
pupils to learn the same things, and from the
same book that they themselves did. Hence,
the complaint so common among parents and
guardians, “ that they are forced to purchase
a different set of School-Books for tiicir chil
dren whenever a new Teacher is employed
And 4 hcnce also, the necessities of a Board of
Examining committee, with powers to re
ject and approve in the choice of Books and
teachers.
But we intended to speak only of the Book
before us. Mr. Woodbridge, whose name
■first appears on the title -page, is author of the
first part, or .Modern Geography ; This gen
tleman has been advantageously known as a
Teacher in the American Asylum for ti»e
Deaf and Dumb.
Mrs. Emma Willard, who is the author of
the Second Part, cr Ancient Geography, is
• doubtless, the most learned and accomplished
. female teacher, at present, in America. —
■ There was a time when this distinguished
Matron of Bclleslettrca and Philosophy might
have received proposals for presiding over a
Female University or Seminary, in Georgia,
had not the liberal efforts of Campbel), Lump
kin, Thomas and others, been defeated.
Mrs. Willard has labored with more inde
fatigable zeal, and has actually accomplished
more, to elevate the standard of education
among her own sex, than all the learned
Faculties and Colleges in our country. Os
the truth of this siie has had the most honora
ble assurance from the present Chief Magis
trate of the United States—From the three
E.x-Presidents, and particularly from the late
lamented Thomas Jefferson —From Baron
Huinbolt, La Fayette, 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
this work receives the most unqualified en
comium of the reviewer.—ln short, we re
commend this boo!:, for its own sake, to all
tire pupils and Teachers of Schock in our
country, us the best Elementary Ciass-Book
of Geography which we have seen, or that is
likely to appear.

.Monsieur Tcnson’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 made,
to extort from the cultivator of the
□oil, in the shape of duties on im
ported goods, a still larger portion
of his hard earnings, may now dis
cover how eggregiously they wer
mistaken, that they deceived them
selves when they believed any thing
would content the New England
Manufacturers, short of such pro-
as will entirely exclude
from our markets European goods ;
leaving us of the South at the ten
der mercy of the Eastern men, to
! buy of them and them alone, at such
■ prices, and of such quality, as may
. suit their interest and convenience:—
| They then give us xtracts from the
j Speeches, of Messrs. Buchannon of
i Pensylvania, Hamilton of S. C. Ste
; venson of Virginia, McLane of Del
aware, Cambreling of New-York
i Clayborne of Virginia, and Mitchell
jof South-Carolina, all portraying i :

jineasuie, it being one calculated .

poorer classes of the people gene-1
rally, and particularly those of the
Southron States.—l was somewhat
surprized that they had given us no
splendid speeches on that subject
from our own delegation, no evidence
of opposition to so baneful a mea
sure fiom the Representation of
Georgia,—can it be that our Dele
gation in Congress are less mindful
of the interest of their constituents,
than others ? Georgia certainly has
much at stake on this subject.—Agro-|
able to the provisions of the bill naw i
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 lis it just'? But it appears to
-be the policy of the ma.•*! facto ring
i districts, under the auspices of the
present chief Magistrate, to heap
■ up duty on duty until they intircly
exclude from our shores every arti
cle of commerce but such at they
think proper to send us, and 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 ! the poor People of the
Southern, States have the burden to
bear.—
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 refered to Nile’s Register for
information, where in the Thirty-first
volume page 351 it will be seen,
that on motion of Mr Buchannon of
Pensylvania, to discharge the com
mittee of the whole on the State of
the 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
the names of throe and three only
of our Delegation, were found in
favor of the motion, surely a more
important measure will not be acted
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 the
motion, and consequently in favor of
the Bill.
Yes instead of raising his voice
like a trumpet, instead of calling to
bis aid those powerful strains of elo
quence for which he stands conspi
cious, instead of declaring to the
house and to the world his opposi
tion to a measure, so peculiarly op
pressivc to his constituents, as that
of increasing the duty on one of the
most necessary articles of consump
tion, instead of contesting every inch
of ground on a subject calculated to
effect with so much inequality the
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, Air. 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
forc manifested a disposition to join
the New England policy, I should
beli< ve that his vole had been recor
ded in the negative through mistake,
but when liis vote against the
resolution expressive of the impropri
ety of retaining in the house of Re
presentatives the Election of Presi
dent and Vice-President of the Unit
ed States,and his activity in attempt
ing lo secure Mr Clay, from the
charg of corruption is recollected,
together with his public life general
ly, the whole presi-nts amass of in
consistency and mystery, which no
thing but the hand of time can un
ravel, perhaps he may be vain
enough to be looking ahead to tne
Chief Magistracy of the Union, but
let him be Governor of Georgia
first if he can.
