The Statesman now denies the doctrine that
Congress has the power to sell a State, heretofore
advocated by a gentleman high in the confidence
ofthe Clark party. The Statesman acknowledg
es that it some time since advocated the Tariff,
hut says 11 the party never did.” The Statesman
hus conceded tne power to the General Govern-
llt in tile fullest extent, to legislate for purpos-
s of Internal Improvement.* The Statesman ad-
i.nrnted by every possible means the nullification
ol tiic Creek treaty of 18-25,—made with all the
necessary formalities,—regardless of all fixed prin
ciples, and destructive to the prosperity of the
State. l» fine, that paper, and pnrty to which it
has heretofore adhered, has advocated latitudinn-
rinn doctrines, in the fullest extent, and attempted
to tlnvart every measure conducive to the Interest
ofthe State, which did not tend to the aggradize-
tnent of a few Clark men. Now, since that print
has found the TuriffA. other measures it has advo
cated unpopular, it has assumed ground on which
it ■ did not expect to shed any new light.” We
must beg leave to decline taking any furthfv no
tice of it, until we become satisfied from practice,
it advances the principles of the party to which it
professes to belong. Consequently, what we may
in future say in relation to the latitudinarians or
Clark party, will he in reference to them as a par
te, unless after a fair trial, we find them true to
our faith.

put at defiance the power and influence of the
Southern States, ami to disregard the complaints
anil sufferings of their inhabitants, it must l>e as
cribed chiefly to certain men and leaders of a par
ty in the South, who, by chiming in with our
foes, encourage them to complete the destruction
of our hopes, our property, and our liberties.—
These men, against the allegiance they owe to
their native laud, or to the land whieli has given
them food, raiment and distinction -, agninst the
respect and love they owe to their kindred and
fellow-citizens; against the imperious duty which
-should prompt them to maintain and promote the
welfare of the South; these men connive at the
schemes planned at the North, for the destruction
of the dearest principles in our Federal compact—
tlie only safeguard to our prosperity. To such
men mast lie ascribed tlie crisis at which we have
arrived; a crisis which must determine whether
the North will succeed in rendering tlie Southern
States tributaries to an overbearing aristocracy, or
whether tlie Southern States are to remain free
and independent, and their citizens left at liberty
to seek happiness how they please and in what
manlier they think proper.
la Georgia we have men of the description we
have just drawn. For these ten years past, they
have pursued a . political course at variance with
the best interests of the State, its dignity and repu
tation. When endeavors were making to obtain |
the enjoyment of the land occupied by the Indi
ans. they threw obstacles in the wnv; they associ
ated with the enemies of Georgia in abusing tlie
constituted authorities of the State; they paralyz-
dull tlie efforts of tlie then Governor and Legis
lature to obtain justice and the fulfilment of so
lemn contracts from the Federal Government;
nd they became the advoentes of strangers, in op
position to the native und tiest friends of Georgia.
tJrowell, Games, Andrews, John C. Calhoun und
John Quincy Adams, were zealously defended
and supported'by these pretended Georgians—by
these wolves in sheep’s clothing. They sacrific
ed the welfare and happiness ot their own State,
to uphold strangers And enemies. If they did not
succeed in their nefarious and traitorous plans, it
was owing to/tbe increasing exertions of Troup
and tlie Republican party, which, constantly on
the alert, repulsed every attack made against the
welfare and reputation of Georgia, and thwarted
all the plans devised for the annihilation of that
party which alone saved the State, at that time
from the threatened bayonets of President Adams.
The Troup party came triumphantly out of that
contest. Another isnow going on, equally impor
tant, if not more so, because in its issue is involv
ed the union of the Stales, the preservation of Re
publican principles and governments, and the in
tegrity of tlie States ill their sovereign arid inde
pendent attributes. In this contest the snnie men
who opposed Troup and the most essential rights
ot Georgia, are found in tlie ranks of the most hit
ler enemies of the Southern States. Our accusa
tion rs not made witiiout sufficient proof.
These men have presses at their command, and
ta n °ne of them have the rights of Georgia and of
the Southern States been defended against the en
croachments of the Federal Government, and a-
gainst the oppression ofthe North, and vindicated
from the slanders of the followers ofthe “ Ameri-
<tan System." In none of their papers have the
North been censured and condemned for its en
deavors to sow dissent ions among our coloured
population. In those papers, the oppressors A ene
mies of Georgia and of the Southern States, have
been, and are still lauded to the skies; the tariff
and the system of internal improvement has been
advocated and vindicated, and the true friends of
Georgia are abused and vituperated. In those pa
pers not one Southern or Georgia feeling have been
as yet expressed: the reverse has been always
manifested. With these presses, Georgia is noth-''
ln g when the welfare and interest of the North
are concerned. With these presses the dignity
nnd reputation of Georgia are subordinate to
Northern dignity and reputation ; tlie happiness
and future welfare of the Georgians are of less
oonsideration than the welfare and aggrandize
ment of the citizens of the North.
The above remarks cannot be answered. Our
assertions cannot be refuted. In not one of the
papers which have been issued from tbeir presses
"i this State, can one editorial article be produc
ed vindicating the rights of the State, its dignity
and reputation, and the character of its citizens,
from the foul aspersions of its enemies; con
demning the encroachments of the Federal Go
vernment- on Slate Rights and the Constituti-
and censuring the oppressive measures of

Charleston road, Mr. Troup, of Georgia, was de
layed among us for inlay. He was called on by

Tlie Indian Bill and the rejection ofthe Mays-

INDIAN BILL.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.
“ By n vote of 102 to 97, the House hns passed
the bill from the Senate, which outrages the moral
feelings of the Union, and will bankrupt the Trea
sury.”
FROM THE HARRISBURG INTEt.ttOF.NCER.
" Pennsylvanians that by a party vole to drive
the defenceless Indians from their homes, have vi
olated every principle of National honor, ol justice,
or of tnrrcy, at the expeme-ot more than Twenty
Millions of Dollars from the Treasury, which
should otiierwise have been appropriated to inter

FROM THE NEW-ENOLANT) PALLADIUM.
“ Congress in its wisdom and magnanimity, lias
determined to drive them off, like dogs, from our
[their] territory;—and why? Because the cupi

FROM THE NEW-YORK DAILY ADVERTISER.
11 Tiiis Indian policy lias been adopted in aid of
the infamous legislation of Georgia.”
FROM THE N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
“ Let the first Indian who nmy be molested by
a Georgia officer be advised howto carry lip his
ease to the Superior Court ofthe United States.
Northern philanthropy will supply the means—
and the laws of Georgia may be set aside as un
constitutional.”
FROM THE NATIONAL JOURNAL.
“ The parent, whoever he was, of the Indian
Rill, which has lately become a law, will have an
awful reckoning to pay. Gen. Jackson must have
been influenced by a most pernicious adviser, to
recommend a measure so destructive to tho fair
fame of the nation.
“ The Secretary of War has been trusted with
tiie expenditure of half a million of dollars, and
for what purpose ? to gratify the griping propen
sities of Georgia, and enable her to execute her
long cherished design of seining upon the lands of
the original masters of the soil, and driving them,
inhumanly and mercilessly, into the remote wilds
' ’ West. “
specimens of “ Northern philanthropy” that has
yet come under our observation. We will there
fore borrow the remarks of ihe Telescope for that
purpose—with this additional observation, that in
perusing the pamphlet, it appeared to us that the
writer was not so ignorant of the subject as deter
mined to misrepresent it—and that his principal
object is to get up political combinations to aid the
Indians, in case those poor deluded creatures
could be prevailed on to resist the enforcement of
the Intvs of Georgia. We did not know before
that the author of this Indian essay was also the
author of the pamphlets intended for unother phi
lanthropic purpose, and which were lately “ sent
to Columbia in n box.” It is evident, however,
that provided resistance or commotion of any kind
can he excited in the South, Dr. Humphrey and
other prenchers of sedition care but little what
shape it may assume—whether it move with the
gunrded caution of servile treason, or boldly bran
dish the murderous instruments of savage war
fare. ,
“ Dr. Humphreys, tlie President of Amherst
College, near Northampton, Massachusetts, wrote
a pamphlet some time ago, to excite as far ns pos
sible tlie animosity of tlie slaves ugninst their mas
ters. A cargo of these pamphlets were sent in a
box of goods to a store-keeper in Columbia, in
hopes of their distribution, for the same kind pur
poses that dictated the composition. What hns
become of them we know not. The copy we
saw was of the most inflammatory description,
with a corresponding prefatory picture.
Dr. Htanplireys ha3 written another inflamma
tory pamphlet against the removal of the Indians,
n question of which lie is as ignorant as he is of
the question of slavery -, and about which he is
pleased to pen as many voluntary falsehoods.

There appears to he a sort of mystery connected
with the reduction of Salt it Molasses duty in C ti
gress. As almost all legislation is conducted on a
principle nf compromise, or that of give and take,
wc should not be surprised, should it turn out that
by n sort of understanding between the Eastern
and Southern members, the former have consen
ted to give up apart of the Salt duty, provided the
latter relinquished a portion of the Molasses im
post. The Southern members, we think, are right
to break down tlie system hy piece meal, if they
can. One, of the supports of the fabric have been
knocked away, and it appears to toucr to its fall
It is only in this way the combination can lie re
solved into its original elements. It is by de
taching separate interests from its support, that
tHe.materials lose their principle of coherence or
union. According to thedeclaration of Mr. Storrs,
ivc may next expect to see New York separated
from tills alliance of commmercial prohibitionists
This would effect the overthrow of the protection
to Woollens and Iron. Next would come in turn
the Sugar protection; andllien might Louisiana he
hailed once more as an Anti tariff State, in resent
ing her former place by the tide of those to whom
she is allied hy tlie bond of common interests.
[Charleston Patriot.
There is one point in the Indian question con
clusive of the fairness of tlie conduct of Georgia.
That State says, “ stay and live here subject to
our laws upon the footing of our own citizens, and
you nre welcome; if you do not like that, go.”—
Unn the Indians expect Georgia to treat them bet
ter than her own citizens ?
As to Dr. Humphreys, nothing can equal bis
impudence, his malignity and his falsehood, but
his ulter ignorance ofthe queslions he writes about.
Formally to review the pumphletof this pre-emi
nent blockhead, would be to honor him far more
Ilian he deserves.”
The Boston Gazette publishes the following ex
tract from a private letter, hy a gentleman in

that the unfortunate race, whose rights lie so nobly
labored to sustain, have not been wanting in a
sense of their obligations to their distinguished ad

presented to him an elegant Wampum Beit,
wrought by a female of their natioh, as a small to

from one of the Chiefs, in which he spoke very
feelingly of the obligations of his countrymen to
Mr. F. and the distress to which by an almost un

were now condemned. We are sorry it is not in
our power to lay before our readers this beautiful
and touching expression of Indian feeling, but

FROM THE U. S. TELEGRAPH
We Iny before our readers the Light house bill;
tlie following synopsis of which will show the
combination «f interests brought to bear in its fa
vor. No one can be ignorant of tlie effect which
its rejection will produce on the minds of those
who, believing that the General Government pos
sesses tlie power, were solicitous for its passage.—
No one can mistake the feelings of gratification
with which the opponents of tlie President, who
believe that it will diminish his popularity, will
hail his veto of this bill. Those who anticipate a
loss of popularity to Gen. Jackson, first assume
that the people nave approved the principles in
volved in the bill. Is tiiis true? VV hat are those
principles ?
Tlie synopsis shows that the bill appropriates
591,000 dollars. Of tiiis suin 180 dollars were to
be expended in improvements in Vermont, whilst
there was to have been expended, for similar pur
poses, the sum of 50,615 dollars in New-York,
24,155 dollars in Massachusetts, and $60,000 in
Maryland. Coold any thing more conclusively
show the inequality ot the system ? Whose mo
ney wus appropriated by this hill ? Did it not be
long to tlie whole people ? How did It come into
the Treasury ? Was it not paid in by all ill pro
portion to the merchandise which they used, upon
which a tax hnd been levied at the custom-house ?
Did not our revolution spring from n tax of two
pence per pound upon tea, and nre we not now
paying an annual tax of one million per annum
upon that article alone? Is not the whole amount
of the money in the Treasury first derived from
the pockets of tlie people ? If the people do not
pay il, who does pay it ? If then the money is
first levied upon the people equally, is it right and
just that it should be distributed beck again among

accidentally encountered the Foxes a Prairie a

loss of nine killed nnd many wounded. Among
the killed is I’eoamoskee, the principal chief. The
series of unprovoked murders which the Foxes
have perpetrated for the two yours past, has thus
been amply avenged, and with the additional ad

Loss of Ihe Ship Boston by Lightning
Tlio line ship Boston, Mackay, which
sailed
from Charleston
on the 18th ult. encountered a
purpose of putting it back into the pockets of the
tew. General Jackson is the friend of internul
improvements, hut lie is opposed to intrigue, bar
gain, and logrolling. Some of Iris friends in Con
gress labored to separate tlie light-houses from tlie
appropriations for surveys and improvements j the
interests milted in their favor retained the appro
priations which the President believed to he un
constitutional and defeated the bill. _ Had the
liglit-houses alone been presented for his conside
ration, we have no doubt the act would have re
ceived Iiis sanction. As it is, the failure must he
attributed to tlie proper cause. It cannot fail to
bring tlie question which it involves fairly before
tlio people, who are the ultimate arbiters of the
law and of the Constiliilion. That the President
hns placed his reputation upon ttie issue, is assert
ed hy Iiis enemies; to maintain his principles and
preserve bis popularity is tlie duty of bis friends.
severe gole on the 25th, during which she was
struck by lightning, which soon fired the cotton on
board, and the vessel was in a short time entirely
in n blaze. The passengers and crew bad scarce
ly time to get on board tbe boat, without saving
their clothing, watches or provisions, except a
small quantity of the latter. The cabin passen
gers were Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Dr. XVm. Bo

and Samuel S. Osgood. Miss Boug died next
day, from fatigue and exposure. They were ta

THE .MURDER AGAIN.
Tlio whole number now in gAol, charged with
the murder of Mr. White, either ns principals nr
accessaries, is seven*vis: Richard Cmwninshield,
Jr. George Crowninshield, Daniel Chase, Benja
min Salman, Joseph J. Knapp, Jr. John Francis
Knapp, and John Cnrr R. Palmer.
One of the incidents related by Knapp, in his
confession, is worthy uf notice, as an indicktion
of tlie remarkable cold-bloodedness with which
the assassin pursued his “ dreadful trade.” At the
interview which Knapp had with him in the cen
tre of the Mall, lie informed K. that he had teen It
stated in the newspapers that 13 stabs were found
on the body, but that lie did not give more than
four or five. Knapp replied, that perhaps he was
ii little agitated, and could not remember exactly.
Thij assassin said “ No, for after lie had done for
the old man, lie put Ids fingers upon his pulse, tp
make curtain he was dead.”
Salem Murder.—From a private fetter it ap
pears that both of tha Knapps w ere willing to
screen themselves from legal punishment, by be
coming witnesses for the government, and Unit a
committee waited on the lather of them, to know
which should be accepted. The thoughts ot seal
ing tbe doom of oue of his own children was more
than nature could support, and the feelings nf the
father tor a season conquered those of the man.
Pointing to the chamber in which the wife of his
oldest son lay, he said. “ on the account of thnt
young creature, save my oldest.” The scene is
described as aganising beyond human endurance.
The wife of J. J, Kntipp, jr. now but about 20
years old, is one ofthe most beautiful and accoiQ-
C I is lied ladies in Salem, and the entire devotion of
er husband had become proverbial in that town.
She lias not yet been permitted to visit him in his
prison. Her grief and mental agony are beyond
description, and she mourns as those “ without
hope.” Although not permitted to visit tier hus
band, she insisted on going to the jail, w here slip
was carried in a carriage; but she was unable to
look up when site got there. Knapp went to the
window of the prison to see her, and it is said he
did not discover any extraordinary emotion.
It is lamentable, in the highest degree, that tbe
fate of two suuh beings should be so intimately and
so inseparably united. Yet so it is; an innocent
anda virtuous, young, and anamiable female, made
to adorn her sex, is united with a guilty wretch,
whose crimes render him an outlaw from the fa
vor and protection of society.—Providence Jour.

have amounted to $72,358,671, differing very lit
