Monday Morning,
February 26, 1827.
Sir: A severe indisposition, last
evening, prevented my replying to
your communication, which was re
ceived at seven o’clock.
On my own exclusive responsibili
ty, I decline accecding to the use of
rifles, which (as you inform me) Gen.
Metcalfe desires for the purpose of
deciding ,his differences with Mr.
McDuffie.
My objection to this weapon is
insuperable.
My friend, in a previous duel, had
the bone of his left arm broken, the
nerves and muscles so essentially
shuttered, that he is, to a considera
ble degree, deprived of its use, at
least for all purposes requiring quick
ness, steadiness, and muscular ener
gy. The rifle being a weapon re
quiring the unimpared strength of
both arms, I am satisfied Gen. Met
calfe was ignorant of the fact of this
disability, when he suggested the
proposal.
My friend, Mr. McDuffie, I have
neither seen or written to since the
receipt of your letter, enclosing Gen
eral Metcalfe’s terms. He has, there
fore, no knowledge of those terms,
or of my refusal to accept them; nor
do I intend that he shall have, un
til our negotiations are brought to a
close, and he is summoned to the
field.
Were not this disability of my
friend a conclusive and sufficient ob
jection, other considerations would
decide me to decline the proposal.
They rest on the known and ap
proved grounds of the sentiment and
usage which hava assigned the pis
tol as theappropriat weapon tor the
decision of controversies ot this char
acter, and which admits ot an entire
equality an all respects.
I have the honor to remain, very
respectfully, your obedient ser
vant ,
J. HAMILTON, Jr.
IJon. Jas. C'arfr.
Davis’s,
Washington City, Kb. 27, 1627
iSia: Ii) your note, handed to me
the House, on yesterday, you have ■
dncl.irnd your determination, on your'
own, “exclusive responsibility,’’ to,
decline accecding to the use of ri-1
lies.
Without pretending to be skilled
: > t'n rib'.? by which t*'-to.’ 4 .' ot this
kind are regulated, I must say. that
I have always understood and be
lieved it to be the undoubted righi
of the party challenged, to name the
weapons to be used, the’time when,
and the place where, aud the man
ner in which, the affair should be
conducted.
In this case, Mr. McDuffie has re
quested an interview with General
Metcalf in the usual terms, and un
conditional, and without mentioning
any disability. As such, it was ac
cepted by General Metcalf, without
a knowledge of such disability as that
which you entertain, believing that
he would have the right of dictating
the terms. He owes it to himself
and to his family, to insist upon the
right of naming the weapons, and
this right cannot be yielded.
I abstain from making any other
proposition than what is contained in
the terms I have heretofore furnish
ed you with, because you say, after
mentioning the disability of Mr. Mc-
Duffie, ‘ were not this disability of
“my friend a conclusive and sufficient
“objection, other considerations
“would decide me to decline the
“proposal. They rest on the known
“and approved grounds of the senti
“ment and usage which have assign
ed the pistol as the appropriate
“weapon for the decision of contro
“versies of this character, which ad
“mits of an entire equality in all re
spects.”
The known dexterity of Mr. Mc-
Duffie in the use of the pistol, and
General Metcalfe’s entire want of it,
having never fired one a half a do
zen times in his life, would, as I am
persuaded you will readily perceive,
make, the contest between them,
with such weapons, altogether une
qual.
Had you not stated your objec
tions in such terms as to exclude the
use of all weapons except pistols,
General Metcalfe would, without ad
mitting the rifle to be an improper
one, have proposed tdc broad sword,
and thereby have manifested addi
tional evidence of bis sincerity to af
ford the interview which has been
requested.
In conclusion, I must say, that
General Metcalfe, being the party
challenged, denies to Mr. McDuffie
the right to insist on the use of the
pistol.
With great respect, I have the
honor to be, your obedient ser
vant,
JAS. CLARKE.
Major J. Hamilton.
Washington, half past' 12 o’clock,
P. M.
February 37, 1827-
Sm: Your communication of this
morning has just reached me.
Having taken, on my own respon
sibility, the grounds on which I
thought proper to decline the accep
tance of the proposals of Gen. IXlet
calfe, to use Rifles in the adjustment
of his altercation with Mr.JtfcDuffie,
I have nothing to add to my letter
of yesterday, except to furnish you
with an explanation of what I mean,
when I say that “a Pistol admits of
an entire equality in all respects.”
It is briefly this: That 1 am willing
that my friend should meet yours,
cither with one pistol, or two, at any
distance, from twenty paces to one
pace, to fire in any time, from one
second to twenty minutes, and in a
mode which, on the solemn obliga
tor of my honor, I will engage that
my friend has never practised, or
thought of practising.
You say, that “the known dexteri
ofMr. McDuffie, in the use of the
pistol, and Gen. Metcalfe’s entire
want of it, having never fired one
half-a-dozen times in his life, would,
as I am persuaded you will readily
perceive, make the contest between
them, with such weapons, altogether
unequal. ’’
The argument which you here
urge, in behalf of your friend, applies
wi!h equal force, to nunc, who. I be
lieve, never fired a rifle in his
life.
But the grounds I have previously
assumed render all discussion on
this point superfluous, and it merely
remains for me to say. that any skill
which may have been attributed to
him five years ago, though at that
time absurdly exaggerated, may,
with equal justice, be supposed to
have been lost, from the fact of his
not having practised since, or even
had a pistol in his hand for two. And
I moreover deem it important that
you should know that such has been
my desire that the utmost equality
should be reached in the expected
combat between Gen. Metcalfe and
Mr. McDuffie, that the pistols with
which he would have fought, arc
yet in my possession, nor would he
have touched one, until 1 had ascer
tained Iron) you, whether you desir
ed that the parties should have gone
out without the exercise even of a
preliminary shot.
I have the honor to remain, very
respectfully, your obedient ser
vant,
J. HAMILTON, Jun.

former nots, when you said, “a pis
tol admits of an entire equality in all
respects.”
That you believe that the inode
alluded to, by you, would, in the use
of pistols, produce such equality, I
do not doubt. Whether the asser
tion be correct or not, is not now
needful to be delcrmined. But, if
correct, is it not apparent, that the
use of rifles may be made, in every
respect, as equal ? To effect this
let each of the combatants, who may
think prpoerto use, it, have a prop,
on which to place his rifle, which by
by riflemen, is commonly called a
rest. I, therefore, for Gen. Metcalfe
make this an additional proposition ;
which, if accepted, will acquire a
corresponding alteration of the terms
heretofore proposed.
The party giving the challenge,
has, in no case whatever, as I con
ceive, the right to name the weapon,
or dictate the terms. It will be un
availing, therefore, to continue this !
correspondence farther, unless Mr.
McDuffie accepts some one of the
propositions submitted.
With great respect, I have the
honor to be, &c.

that Gen. Metcalfe declines giving

modes I have mentioned, with the |
ordinary weapon, I concur in the I
opinion that you have expressed,
“that is would be unaaailing to con- ■

6. MEACHAM.
Secretary of War and Governor Troup.—
The point of controversy between these gen
tlemen is detailed at length in their corres
pondence which we publish to-day. Either
the Secretary is unable to write plain English,
oi the Governor to understand it. The former
having ingeneaously assured bis Excellency
in his letter of the 27th November that in
'negotiating the articles of the New Treaty,
it was the anxious wish of the President to
embrace all the land within the limits of Geor
gia—that every effort was made to induce the
chiefs of the nation *o agree to a clause to
that effect, in so many words ; which they
refused, only because of their ignorance of
the direction of the line,” in that case re
quired ; Governor Troup, upon this repre
sentation,Jtakcs, it for granted, and we think
most unwarrantably, that it was therefore
the understood intention of the Instrument
ti self to cede to Georgia all the lands within
her boundaries.
’Tis true, our Georgia Delegation, and mos t
others concerned, believed at the time that
all the lands had been embraced in the sup
plemental article, and that it received their
sanction on this account. But we believe no
one but our worthy Governor, ever confessed
or exhibited so much “obtuseness of intellect'
as to suppose it was the intention of the “In
strument called the New Treaty” to cede to
Georgia all her lands in the Creek Territory
at all events ; or that the parties to the treaty
so understood it. On the contrary, it was
early declared that should it be found that
any fragment of land had been left out by
the New Treaty “the Executive of the United
States would endeavor to obtain, by fresh nego
ciation, what is so much desired, an entir
surrender of the Creek lands within the limit
of Georgia:”
Having made forcible entry upon the very
lands thus unceded, with what effrontery does
Governor Troup say to the Secretary of’A ar—
, “The President of the United States has though 1
1 proper to declare, that it was ’he intention of
the parties to that Instrument (the New Trea
ty) to cede to Georgia all the lands claimed
,by her within’tlie creek limits —thus distart
’ ing the “anxious wish of the President” into
i di- •.<rv : intended l;: ..n.r.?: o’
the compact itself. In the final adjustment
and ratification of contracts, the entire wishes
of the contracting parties are seldom fully
gratified. The wishes of neither party,
pending the-negociation, however “ anxious”
or reasonable they may be, are to be taken
as the true intent and interpretation of the
final contract. It was, no doubt, the “ anx
ious wish” and “intention” of our State Ex"
ecutivc and his friends, pending the late elec
tion for the Chief Magestracy, to make Wm.
H. Crawford President; was he therefore made
President. What intellect so obtuse, or wha 1
heart so jperverse, that can gravely effect to
mistake the wish for the deed, or to represent
the intention of one party for the agreement
of both.
To this course of conduct on the part of
our Governor, Mr. Barbour manifests some
surprise; and while he amdits it was the
“anxious wish of the President to secure to '
Georgia all her lands,” observes that it bad
been found impracticable so to express it
in the treaty for want of suitable knowledge ;
of the boundaries, &c.
Now mark with what dignity and urbanity :
our Executive Diplomatist receives this as- |
surancc—“lt seems that so from the Presi
dent’s intending to acquire all the lands, that
: he in trnth and in fact did not so intend.”—
“It is now believed and known for the first
time upon the authority of his own avowal
that it was not the intention of the President
to acquire all the lands.”
And again— “lf the President desired the
acquisition of all in so many words, with what
consistency can it be said that the President
did not intend to acquire aLI.” Now as it
relates to the last clause of this statement,
we say in the face of Governor Troup that
no such language has ever been used by the
President or any, of his Secretaries towards
Governor Troup or any of the civil authori
ties cf Georgia, and no man knows this bet
ter than the Governor himself.
Gov. Troup says —“It is now known and be
lieved up on the authority of bis own avowal that
it was not the intention of the President to
acquire all the land.”—We again throw back
the asseveration that the President has never
avowed such, an intention, and we challeng
the world to prove it.
Hiwasse Canal. — It w ill be seen by an ar
ticle under this head that the Legislature of
Tennessee have incorporated a company to
improve the inland navigation above the Mus
cle Shoals on the Tennessee river, to a dis
tance of about 250 miles—that is to say ;
from the point where the South line of the
State crosses said river, to Kingsport in Sul
livan county. This important work being
completed, it is very obvious that a ten fold
argument will be held out to Georgia for
canal communication from the point
above mentioned to our Atlantic coast.
Tiiis is thevery point, whence the Topogra
phical Surveys of last summer would have
commenced, but for the childish andimpolitic
cal interposition of the Cherokees. Let the
Tennessee be rendered navigable as high up
as Kingsport, and we think there is not a
statesman or individual in Georgia capable
of appreciating her interests who would not
hail the event as offering to ourselves the
surest pledge of being requited with bound
less munificience should we make their labors
our own by engaging in the chanel of Inland
navigation where they leave it, and continuing
the same through the centre cf this state to
the Atlantic coast.
Department of War,
31st January, 1827.
To Col. John Crowell,
Agent for the Creek Indians.
Sir: Since my letter to you ofthe
29th inst. the Department has had
information submitted to it, which
appears to be entitled to respect,
that on a proper representation being
made to the Chiefs of the peculiar
state of things, as they now exist in
regard to the remainder of their lands
within the limits of Georgia, they
will not object for a suitable monied
consideration to sell. This infor
mation, and which is from a source
of great respectability is, in substance
that the Indians would sell this re
maining portion of their lands within
the limits of that State; if they were
assured of a prompt and suitable
cornpensatson.
1 therefore enjoin it on you as a |
iduty of great importance, to adopt t
such mode as may seem in your dis-.
cretion to be best, to obtain their .
consent to relinquish their hold upon
these pine-barrens, which can be of
no value to them; and thus secure
that state of quiet, which it isso much
the desire of the Executive to real
ize. On ascertaining the views ot
the Chiefs, you will communicate
them to the Department; and also at'
the same time the amount ofthe- con-'
sidcration money, winch they win -
be willing to receive for those lands. '
I have the honor to be, &c.

Executive Department Geo. }
Milledgeville 21st Feb. 1827. S
Gentlemen—l was glad to learn
i by the mail of to day that measures
had been taken by the President sub
sequently to the Communication of
the Secretary of War of the 291 h
I ult. to procure the lands left out by
! the instrument called the New Trea
! tv. I have uniformly urged this
'measure on the General Govern
i meat from the moment it professed
, a willingness contingently to adopt
jit, and in no part ofthe correspon
dence more strenuously than in my
, letter to the Secretary ot War, of
; the 26th January, a copy of which
1 was transmitted to you by the last
I mail —It was known to me that a
sincere desire to procure them, ac
-1 companion by corresponding efforts,
' could not fail of success, &: I had felt
both surprize ic regret that any reluct
ance had been manifested to have re
•'.?ursc *c’’h2 sar” v Ah
out delay The reasons assigned for the
postponement were in no aspect of
them satisfactory, and so the Presi
dent was informed in a candid and
amicable spirit—You are at liberty
to state to the Councils before whom
you represent the interests and
rights of the State, what has been
repeatedly represented to the Presi
dent himself, that the Governor of
Georgia, has never at any time en
tertained the idea of resorting to
military force to counteract meas
ures of the Government of the Uni
ted States, but on the occasion when
it was deemed better in honor, in
conscience and in duty to sacrifice
every thing we hold dear than unre
sistingly to submit. On the last oc
casion when military coercion was
threatened, the President was
promptly and candidly informed of
my resolution to meet that coercion
in a military manner. So far as a
determination was expressed to re
sort to the civil process, it was de
cided to resort to the like process, to
sustain, according to the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States,
and the Constitution, and laws of the
State, the public officers of Georgia
engaged in the execution of their du
ties under the orders directly of its
Legislative and Executive authori
tes —an obligation on our part en
joined by the very sanction, which
the President in his late message re
fers to as being paramount to that
ofany human power, and of course
equally imperative with us as with
him. I cannot acknowledge a pow
er in the United States, to bring
before its judicial tribunals for trial
and judgment and punishment, the
Governors, or Judges, or Represen
tatives, or other officers, as such ac
ting under the authority of the Con
stitutions and laws of the States.—
Whilst therefore no intention exists
to resist the civil authority of the
United States 1 consider myself bound
to afford to officers of Georgia act
ing under my orders all the protec
tion I can consistently with the Con
stitution and laws, and I can never
admit that wrongs done by officers
of the United States, to officers of
the State, shall not be enquired into ,
and redressed by State tribunals. I
consider all questions of mere sover
eignty as matter for negotiation be
twen the States and the United
States, until a competent Tribunal I
shall he assigned by the
tion itself for the adjustment cf them ;
I am not wanting in confidence in the 1
Supreme Court of the United States
in all questions falling within their
acknowledged jurisdiction—As men,
I would not hesitate to refer our
cause to their arbitration or umpirage
on an amicable issue made up be
tween the United States &. ourselves,
we might have had no difficulty in
refering it to them as Judges, pro
testing at the same time against the
jurisdiction and saving our rights of
sovereignty. If the United States
will with or without the consent of
Georgia, make a question before the
Supreme Court, it will be for the
Government of Georgia ultimately
to submit or not to the decision of
that tribunal; but according to my
limited conception, the Supreme
Court is not made by the Constitu
tion of the United States, the arbiter
in controvcrsi s, involving rights of
sovereignty between the States and
the United States. The Senate of
the United States, may have so con
sidered it, because it has been pro
posed to make that honorable body
itself the arbiter and umpire between
th< m. The States cannot consent to
refer to the Supreme Court, as of
right and obligation, questions of
sovereignty between them and the
United States, because that Court,
being of exclusive appointment by
the Government of the United States
it will make the United States, the
Judge in their own cause. Thisrea
i son is equally applicable to a State
I tribunal. Hence the difficulties
' likely to arise even by a resort to
the civil process —and thus you will
perceive how infinitely preferable it
is to carry into effect immediately
the measures contemplated by the
instructions to the zXgent- It is in
deed to be lamented that a person
so well known for his unfitness should
have been charged with such an of
, fice, but this very knowledge will
make the failure, if the failure hap
pen, not our fault but the fault of his
employers.
Os all the wrongs wantonly and
cruelly inflicted, none have been
borne with more patience than the
charge of seeking the dissolution of
the Union—My intentions have been
to cement and perpetuate it by pre
serving inviolate the rights of tne
parties to the compact, without which
the compact would be cf no value,
and to this end I Lave unceasingly
labor - d. Time may probaly disclose,
that a very imperfect judgment had
erred in the adoption of tbc best
means, but the intentions will remain
the same, and he who must finally
judge, will certainly not mistake
them. Hoping that the President
will not fail in the contemplated ne-
and that the matters in
difference may be speedily and ami
, cably adjusted to the entire satisfac
tion cf the parties in controversy, I
have not hesitated to make to you
■this frank disclosure and explanation
that veu may use it at your discretion,
to promote the reate and harmony
' wl.i( h c-’m bt ever to subsist between
• ?; ard the Ueitud States,
and in which, I assure you, none can
feel deeper concern and interest
than
