I nttt extremely solicitous to be under

Jmrt of the community. To the co it side-
rutp, reason is not without its effect, to the
thouglitless, it is a waste of its use and to
tlir prejudiced, it is an unholy profanation '
ofits legitimate office. I do know there!

en cnultl n«t obtain audience, and I awful

lief from even a hiitliee timv»' 'A'*
I liave nothing to say. Rut I fondly hope
•ml believe there are men, and not a lew
in this country, who are not blind to the
three of truth, deaf to the calls of justice,
or dead to the touch of sympathy. With
such 1 would expostulate and in the ear
nestness of my soul I would ask, by all their
Hopes of future happiness, do they not un
derstand this claim irons opposition to Go
vernor Troup ? Cun they not see the rea
son for All the obstacles thrown upon his
path ? Are they so short -sighted, and will
they lie .under such ft degrading reproach,
as not to perceive, that every difficult) ;
with which he is beset, has a personal and
not the public interest at heart P Will ti
ny believe that it was wrong in Governor
Troup, to urge and to urge with zeal, the
claims of our militia ? Was it unbecom
ing in him to ask, nay, even demand, back
ed tts lie was by a solemn contract, the re
moval of the Indians and the possession
of our public lands—lands which were
ours, before the union, by conquest, and
■since, by purchase,—for which wo Intel
fought and for which wo had paid ? Who
believes that it was treasonable in him to
eav that our negroes should not be wrest
ed from us but at the risk of disunion ?—
W hot is dearer to us than property, and
what is union, nay, even the state govern
ment itself', if it cannot protect it ? I so
lemnly pronounce that society resolved in
to its first elements that is unequal to the
protection ofeiiher life, liberty, reputation
orprojoerty. lias Governor Troup mani
fested too much zeal in procuring the late
treaty ? Is lie blame-worthy for his inde
fatigable efforts to obtain the |w>ssession of
the land, and to effect ns early a settle
ment of it us possible P Docs he deserve
censure for Ids unsleeping vigilence over
the interest of the people, and his unabat
ed anxiety to place them in the full enjoy
ment of their long-withheld rights? On
the contrary who arc attempting to defeat
the treaty ? Who are interposing every
possible impediment in his way to pre
vent the possession of this lantl ? If this
be the peoples land, ttud it be nil object
tvith them, as soon as possible to realize
its advantages, who are their friends on
tliis occasion, lie who is unceasingly striv
ing to empty this bounty into their hips, or
he who is actively and insidiously work
ing to prevent it P The answer to these
questions must open the eyes of the pco-
ple, they must surrender their prejudices,
they can no longer, and respect them
selves, remain the slaves ot' passion, tiie
4upes of intrigue, or the enemies of truth.
In resuming the discussion of the ques
tion connected with the sale of our public
lands, to the general government, it will
be readily perceived, that twenty-three
years ago, they received our vast domain,
have organized within it two flourishing
atutes, have derived und are deriving from
it almost incalculable resources. They
have annually exposed to sale some of
their most fertile and valuable lands, mak
ing those states, born but yesterday, rival
rind indeed outstrip their mot Iter state, one
of the “old thirteen," in wealth, population
strength, and political consequence. Anti
yet the Indian title to the pittance that re
mained within opr limits, is not yet extin
guished. Iliis is not all, stlieir policy is
rendering tiint ohjogt almost impractica
ble. Other states have had their Indian
hinds purchased for them, ns a matter of
lavor, not of right, for their was no signed,
realed and written obligation to that effect.
The lands on the border states have liecu
acquired and the consequence is, the In
dians have heon throw n invpcn us, under
circumstances presenting the odious alter
native, to he. acknowledged an indepen
dent nation, in our very bosom, or to bo in
corporated in colour, and identified in pri
vilege, with tlio Georgians. And that this
tiftonishjng purpose should the more cer
tainly result, the general government lias
commenced and fostered by every mrtum,
a regular and concerted system of civ.li-
zatiou. They linvc been furnished, at tiie
T'lpllo oxpetica, with schools, agricultural
implements, missionaries, and indeed eve
ry support uml countenance looking to
that object. And this glaring outrage is
nttempted to lie forced upon us tinder the
hypocritical cant of Christian henevolmico.
To our rctnoiiHtranco they olfer the an
swer of n whining charity, to our protest
they present a long drawn face, to otu* so
lemn objections they oppose the cnqreoui-
iug aspect of a snivelling countenance and
upraised eyes. This is done too by men
drawn front other states, where the Indi
ans Imre been literally exterminated: not
content With driving them from place to
place, from tiie'ocean to the mountains,
and from the mountains to the vallies, hut
they have driven them by nations out of
their very being. And now all at once
these very godly given, and grace abound
ing pinks ot piety, think that Georgia alone,
ought to christianize the halanco of the
Indians, Such rotten hearted hypocrisy
smells to I tea re u, and will, if it meets its
merited reward, sink to perdition.
Gan the United States seriously enter
tain the opinion that the state of Georgia
will submit to this ? Do they believe that
our people will consent to mix with that
unfortunate race? And can they for u
moment suppose that they ought to re
main in tiie very heart of the state, a so
vereign and independent nation, a sane-
tun ry for villany and a linrhor for renegade
outlaws and refugee slaves? This they
know can and will not ho -submitted to,
even if it were a nation of white men, and
yet they sillier the Indians to go on with
their improvements, nay more, they per
mit them to taunt and deride us on ac
count of the impotence of our arin, l,y rea
son of our federal trammels, to assert anti
recover our rights—they receive them in
the character of ambassadors, hold diplo
matic correspondences with them (a tiling
unheard of with fitter Indians) put them
upon a footing with the citizens qj'Geor-’
gin, countenance their reproaches of us,
by listening to their long complaints n-
gaiast us, in a tone of insolent upbraid lugs,
in wbic.lt they do not scruple to charge us
with ininst'””’ --j > ....ij >ts mmi avarice.
1 said in the beginning, the general go
vernment was not only unmindful of her
engagements to us. but that she treated us
with “ mortifying disrespect”—here is one
of the instances.
Rut the excuse of the general govern
ment for not complying with her contract,
is, that, according to her stipulation, she
lias never seen the time; in twenty three
long years, when :t was in her power to
effect .it, upon “reasonable and peaceable
teems. * 1 ' \V hat a miserable evasion! vvliat-
ever people out of this state may think on
the subject, there is not. an honest man in
it, who believes it. Wliat! not able to
fulfil a contract in twenty-three years. If
net in that time, when cun it be done?
Ho they not bolievo if Georgia had kept her
lands and undertaken to extinguish the
title herself, she would not have accom
plished it in that time ? Do they not ima
gine that for compensation enough, offer
ed in proper time, the Indians w mild have
been induced to fall buck upon the now
state of Alabama, and then upon the suite
of Mississippi if necessary? Rut ns re
gards our present limits ‘the first state
would have been sufficient for our purpose.
In hone st truth, when did ever the gene
ral government even try to obtain ail the
lands for Georgia ? Was it at the treat',
of Fort Wilkinson ? Was it at .facksori’s.
treaty, \v lien he marked otF With Ins sword
wliut he wanted, and could have acquired
whatever his government wished P When
did they ei er oiler the Indians a “reasona
ble price" for their lands ? Was it before
they became civilized, and such « sweet
smelling savor of morality? Wusit before
they improved their lands, got in the no
tion of Independence, of turning Ambas
sadors, breaking a quill with the secretary
of war, and indulged by that dignifiod sage
in their courtly humor, of writing philip
pics ugninst Georgia and mouthing a great
deul about the arts und sciences, their
dripping blood and the graves and bones
of their fathers and all that pathetic noii-
sence ? No I a reasonable price was ne
ver offered, when a reasonable price would
have been successful. But what is n rea
sonable price ? The general government
sells Indian lauds at one dollar and u quar
ter per acre, lias she ever offered that
price to the Indians lor theirs ? Does ani
one believe if she hnrl, they would not
long since lmve taken it ? And who is
there so incredulous us to doubt that every
foot of Indian laud within the limits ol'
Georgia, might note he had for half that
sum, especially u hh a comfortable homo
all'urded to them across the Mississippi ?
1 repeat, the proper exertions have not
been made to carry this contract into ef
fect that punctilious regard to promise,
that scrupulous observance of good faith,
that nice sense of punctuality, 'that* strict
and liigluninded respect for Adverse rights,
u hieli so delicately enter into and honest
ly rontroul the public engagements of
states and nations, have all been wanting
on the part qf tlm union. Who believes
that if this contract had been made with
France or Great Britain it would huie re
mained to this day, such a lasting and re
proachful instance , of national 'faithful
ness ? And wliat good rrusun can offered
why the state of Georgia should lie.treat
ed with less fidelity than a foreign nation?
Rut there is another fact connected with
this contract, that gives sharper edge to
the contempt with which it has been treat-
ed by I lie general government, uml conse
quently deeper chagrin to the feelings of
Georgia. 1 have already shewn that
against tbo Yazoo fraud, the people oftliis
state have invariably entertained the most
abhorrent detestation. And the peculiar
sensation which that question has always
m oused in this country, was faithfully felt
and represented by Governor Troup, when
so ably denouncing that iniquitous trans
action on the floor of Congress. Tw el , e
years after tiie general government stood
pledged to Georgia to extinguish the Indi
an title to all the lands within her botin ta-
ry, to the just peflofintuico of which, she
had the first and fairest claim, behold the
Yazoo speculators tr-ge the sucre.wful de-
mnnd for comp tHutinn which I have iJ
ready mentioned. The governricnr un
dertakes to pay them fire yiillious of hol
lars. Iff bin whut fund, from their own
money? Not so, it was front, Georgia’s
own land, front the very land which had
been the subject of the miginnl fraud,
thereby virtually carrying in|> effect the
first coiTunt agreement. But tlits is not
all, these -Yazoo men, among whom was
Gov. Troup’s present co'mpet tor, have all
hern satisfied, they are paid aid contented
long ago, notwithstanding it was out of
our own property, by virtue 8f n compro
mise long After our contract, and that too
tuiaiiist oitr warm and repeated protesta
tions. Now, wlio has the hardihood to
say that these five millions of dollars, rais
ed from the very land reded to the United
States, wotlld not have been aniplv sufli-
cient to extinguish the Indian titles?—
Who had a better right to these fivo mil
lion of dollars than Georgia ? sflie had in
equity and good conscience n mortgage
upon tlio Innds until her most moderate
contract was fulfilled. Many more im
portant t lets Connected with this agree
ment might he presented, and certainly
very many additional inferences reasona
bly deduced, but I do not wish to ho tedi
ous. This then forms the true foundo-Mcn
of the not less righteous, because olici
urged claims of Georgia. This is the sub
ject that Governor Troup, supported by
a consciousness of right, and actuated by
a sense of duty, lots so repeatedly, and 1
lament to say, so unsiiccossiiil/y, attempt
ed to present to the slumbering justice of
the general government. That iic should
,be abused by designing and fault finding
hypocrites abroad, and federalists who felt
and sorely remember his lashings while ill
Congress, that lu: should be denounced by
those tender hearted and mqek mouthed
saints of the North, wiio have so kindly
taken every body's business into their ho
ly hands, ami the morality of the world
into their charitable keeping is nothing
strange. Rut that time ..i.—t..., .-i,.„ou

into circulation—that there should ho
found men willing to degrade their statu
with a view to destroy tneir Governor, t.o
sacrifice its interest to secure It is disgrace,
is a matter of the most profound astonish,
incur and betrays an example of political
dishonesty and moral depravity, hereto
fore unequalled in the strifes of human
rivalry. All this however might he pas
sed over as ever incident to the wild and
irregular sallies of party,—where power,
is their God and principle is lint a name.
Rut when the general government, coun
tenanced by our sister states, seizes the
urgency of our demands as a pretext for
its delinquency, and wiehls'thedistemper*
odefloMohs of public opinion for the pur
poses of usurpation—when it wilfully mis

Texas Association.
More than three years since, a company
of individuals associated themselves to
gether, for the purpose of tutemptitig to
procure a grant of lands from tie- govern
ment of Mexico, in the province ol'Texas.
1‘ursuunt to this design, agents were ties
patched from lienee to city of Mexicoj car
rying with them a memorial to the exist
ing government, explosive nr.their views
and wishes. The agents arrived their a
short timo previous to the coronation of
Iturhide as Emperor of Mexico. This, to
gether with subsequent revolutions in the
government of the country, retared the
progress of their mission, so that all re
turned home without having accomplished
any thing final, with the exception of Capt.
•UKFTWlen of Russellville,Ky. one of the
delegates who was deputed from this place.
With a persevering zeal equal to the most
arduous undertaking, ho remained in tlio
capital of Mexico, awaiting a iuvoruble
opportunity to accomplish the objects of
his mission, and using the most unceasing
efforts towards its completion. His exer
tions have at length been crowned with
success. By letters received front Capt.
Lcftwic.h, one dated at rialtillo in April,
and at Ncw-Orleans in Juno, otfliis return
homeward, we arc informed, that he has
obtained a grantof land in 'Texas of between
<-> and 8 millions of acres, designed for the
settlement of 80U families. \V u are not
possessed of the precise boundaries of this
grunt, nor of the particular terms upon
which it is ntado ; but from previous in
formation, are induced to blieve, that the
land granted lies along tliq borders of
Loidsnua, being a part of the same territo
ry heretofore claimed by the United .States,
and ceded away in exeltnngt for Florida,
Ot the value ol these land.-,, there an: vari
ous opinions ; 1ml they are evidently of
great value, and were" with great ttiluc-
tance yielded up by many of our western
politicians. Ot the terms of the grunt, we
cannot speak with certainty—One condi
tion no doubt is, that a certain 'number of
settlers shall he procured—an exemption
from taxation for five years, . an.J subordi
nate officers ot their own elujicv. There
are tunny who engaged in this adventure,
who never entertained the most distant
idea of,becoming settlers of the country
themselves; and a large mujoritv \\ ill pro
bably decline such nil undertaking. Rut
there will he dotthtlefts enough found wil
ling to go, M ho tun not concerned, to com
ply with the requisitions of the grant.—
And should the anticipations of many ho
realized in any rcasniuihly time, that the
province of Texas will, by treaty, purchase,
or othci wise, he annexed to "the territo
ries ol the United chutes, the acquisition
would then prove to the holders, of im
mense value.— Whig.
SOUND DOCTRINE.
Of the whole some effect of a proper de
gree of party spirit, itt a fn o country, no
liberal minded republican can ever doubt.
When Mr. Jefferson produced his hi* book,
party .spirit wns at its Iciight, and no one
ever doubted that under very high politi
cal excitement;, during his administration,
innriy aliases were reformed. ■ nnil many
salutary .Measures adopted. Lot us pre
serve oui ancient land-marks of party....
and tin: republic can never lie in danger,
from deijingogues. Hoar Mr. Sprague's
oration.—[fFqp/i. Gaz. ^
PaIities.—“Fur distant ho the day,
when it must ho said for this country, that
it has no putties, for it must he also said, if
any one Im bold enough to say it, that it
has no liberties. Lot hawk-cyeil jealousy
bo forever on the alert, to watch the foot
steps of power. I.ct it be courteous in
language, hut stern and unbending in prin
ciple. Whoever he may ho, wherever lie
may be, that would strike at the people’s
rights, let him hear the people's voice,
proclaiming that “ whom it will, it can set

Fear not parry, zeal, if *« 'ho in ft ofyteiir

Extract from an Oration delivered in Wash
ington City on the i/h of Julyhy .llr. Dick
ens.
It “It is in Greece that the soul stirring
prospoct is presented, of a people rising
in the majesty of their strength, and re
solved to iivc free or die. Greece, in an
cient times the land of patriots, heroes, and
sages, the Muses’birth-place,' the Graces
home, nnd of Gtnius the resplendent
dwelling—uwakened ot Must, from the
moral and intellectual lethargy under
which for ages she has lain prostrate, the
pity of the tree, nnd the scorn of tlio op
pressor, with the consciousness of her de
gradation, has returned to the memory of
her former glory. On her mountains,
amidst the ruins of her temples, in her sa
cred groves, and on her sea-hententshores,
has tlio voice of liberty resounded. From
her fields, more prolific than in the fabled
days of 4pr origin, have sprung up bands
of soldier*; And her seas, not h;as tortile in
the means of her deliverance, have brought
forth armed.ships. Wherever her enemy
appears, lie meets her victorious defenders.
With the spirit and energy of her heroic,
ancestors, proudly does she hoar herself
in the contest. Though it is under the
sacred banner of the Gross that she fights
lor liberty and for knowledge, still no free,
no civilized, no Christian nation aids in
the holy struggle. Yet, alone, but self-
stmtained, thus far, in victorious splendor,
she has waged the unequal war against her
mighty foe, Iter blood-stained oppressor.
And, if there he virtue in the prayers ofthp
free, the brave, and the good, who, in e-
very clime and in every nation, her name,
her ctttise, and Iter sufferings, have made
her friends—liberty, peace, ami happiness,
will soon crown her glorious efforts.’
nt'lM THE N- V. STATESMAN.
The Liverpool Mercury, of the Q7th
May, contains a review of G. J. Ingorsoll,
S’sqrV. Oration before the American Phi
losophical Society ; and after many quo
tations, and some animated praises of tlio
orator and iiis country, concludes by trans
cribing the following complimentary ar
ticle from the Edinburgh Observer. Wo
will merely roinark, that these observati
ons are only a now expression of that libe
rality towards tho United Status, which
has charaetorized a considerable portion
of the newspaper press of Scotland.
STATE OF AMERICA.
In forty years the Americans have qund-
upled their population, and stretched
their territory from the waters of the Ohio
I Mississippi, to the Pacific, They have
assumed, as if by instinct, a mighty sv stom
of private law ; a hold precision of diplo
macy ; a largo code of coitiiuejvn and na
tional interests. They have taken the
lead in vigour of improvement and practi
cal science. Mendicity is almost Un
known ; the demand of labour is immense,
and its rewards abundant. Church dis
sensions nro heard of, only in rite history
of foreigners ; slavery itself, the plague
spot of human society, is fast verging to
decay. Agriculture, the mceliame art-,
and manufactures, are advancing with
mighty strides. The bowels of the Alle-
gliunics nre pouring forth their treasures
of iron, coni, nnd lend ; and the huge wes
tern r-avannalis, trodden a little while ago
only by the bison,'tho cougar, or the wolf,
are echoing the noises of tinges, looms,
and hlonmerios. Since 181)8, the export
trade of the Union has advanced front
twenty-three millions of dollar*, to more
than eighty million;. Tlioir tonnage a-
mounts to more than a million mid a half;
being nearly a treble increase since the be
ginning of the pres.,tit century. Ill the
Hudson alone, the lmmhcr of merchant
vessels is tit this hour nearly equal, and
twelve years ago, was much superior to
tho whole shipping of Scotland. Their
steam vessels almost double in numerical
amount, and far smpa-s in tonnage nnd
velocity,‘rile vapour shipsof Rritain. Be
fore the extent of their canals, the efforts
ot ihi! modern world shrink into insignifi
cance: tiny, the mighty ways and aque
ducts of imperial .Rome herself nre brought
mio hazardous comparison. The number
is at least twenty ; and the. greatest length
stretches m three hnudred and sixty miles.
^ et tin: hugest of these majestic ducts was
accomplished at the sole charge of a State
of little thorn than a single million of in
habitants. The navy of tho Union a.
mounts to morn than twenty ships of the
line, besides numerous frigates and gun
boats. And the whole, of this e.nnqrmotis
muss qf vigour, Whnllli, and population, is
securely defended by n stunning til of
liulo moro tluin five thousand men. Nty '
are thero any internal taxes ; any hateful
nryinga Into income or domestic, privacy.
The provincial governments alone levy n
direct impost of about, a dollar oti each in
habitant. This it is to be a fu>o people.—
This it Is to have sprung from ‘lie bosom
of tlio British empire, like Pallas from the
brain of Jove, full grown nnd a\med in
proof. Do wo turn sick at those advan
ces. Thetnutuiil trade of tho United and
British empircynow exceeds fifty millions
ofdollars; an nmoutqnitc equal to the trade'
ofthe Republic with till the rest of tljfxAjil’O.

and so beautiful, that one gets" almost fa
tigued with seeing such a continued same-

Above all, nothing can compare with the
neatness ofthe English Cottages. They 1
look so neat, and are enlivened In their ap
pearance by such a profusion of flowers,
which ure to be seen in every window, us
Well us in their gardens....mu! then, too,
the smiling and healthy coqtiteiunices of
the cottager and his family, with theeks as
red as the rose, & eyes as bright ns a ne\v
sovereign....one has little time for any
thing but admiration at such scenes as
those. England wus never so prosperous
as ot tho present moment, and the most
perfect good will, nnd myst friendly fuel

so far I have found them agreeable nml

constantly put upon American manners.
I was not vory much surprised at any
thing I had soen until I had reached Lon
don. I entered this world of a metropo

nnd west end of the town. To describe)
to you my feelings I cannot. It wus at
the moment when all the fashionables and
nobles and gentry were in motion. It ap
peared to me that wlint I sniv was magic;
that tho whole world had met in a single
street,...thousands of carriages, with ser
vants in splendid gold and silver livel y,
elegantly dcessed with white coats, red
plush breeches, buckles to their shoes,
cooked hats laced with gold and silver,

Extract of a letter from oaf of tmvifoprit-
tors ofthe .Y. Y. Daily Advertiser,dated
Eoxpo.x, May bill, 1825.
Liverpool is a beautiful town. The
docks ure wonderful indeed, particularly
the new thick. The approach to Liverpool
is hazardous in the extreme. They wont
the hay of New-York. The Exchange in
this mwn surpasses that of uny in Europe.
What astonished me most, was the im
mense si/e ol'tlte cart horses, their carts,
and the loads they draw. The curt Itself,
I think weighs mure than a N. York curt,
horse, hint, of sugar and the cartman in
the bargain, nml on one of these ponde
rous vehicles I counted twenty-six hales of
cotton, drawn by two horses, with great
ease. The people look very -much like
New-Yorkers, and me quite sociable.—
Their living is twice the price of living in
New-York, and wliat 1 hate above td!
tilings is, after having paid tlio landlord
double fine, oitg is obliged to pay t lie per- lhe heart rather 'large; and, iik

nine pence it fifty tor the head waiter, six " J* yearly empty; nnd bore the s
pence o day for the. chamber maid, and ‘"» >ma„to.v action

Then come the conches—the'lure outsidt
from Liverpool to Birmingham is£ 1 2s—
then comes the guard, he must have his
shilling for such a distance, nnd the coach
man must Lave his-.-ifthe guards or poach-*
man are changed, yon must pay the
ones. Servants pay their masters large
sums of money, in some ctrses, to wait itp-
oii gentlemen in the public houses, and
they inttsl lie semuneruteit by passengers.
