Georgia and the United States.—
From the National Intelligencer.—The
only event that ha? disturbed the serene
cn!m which succeeded the agitation of
the Presidential Election, is the catastro
phe which terminated the life ofthe gallant
Creek General McIntosh—an eveut in itself
to be lamented, because he was a merito
rious and enlightened Chief, who had al
ways loved the Americans, and had fought
for them by the side of our most renowned
Captains—but more to be regretted because
of the dissent ions iu which it had its rise,
and the collision between the General and
State Governments which it iB possible
may flow from it, because we trust there is
enough of forbearance and discretion, on ei-
therside, to check and overlook the ebulli
tions of n °re feeling on this really import
ant subject, and to consent to its decision
on the principles of justice, equity and
humanity.
We have to-day an opportunity of pre
senting to our readers a series of official
papers relative to this subject, received by
the mail of yesterday, having been publish
ed by the order of the Legislature of Geor
gia; from which the public will learn the
ground which, on the first view of this
transaction, has been taken by each gov
eminent. We shall not, upon the little re
flection we have been able to give to the
matter, undertake to give any positive opi
nion on any part of this subject. But,
without having deeply considered it, per
haps the reader will not object to our offer
ing. in our discursive way, a few of the
considerations suggested by a hasty perusal
of those papers.
The main points at issue appear to be.
first, the extent of the obligation of the
United States to chastise tho Indians who
have committed the late barbarous murders
—murders, we call them, for we consider
the pretence of a law, if not ex post facto
in its nature, yet made by the murderers
themselves, as a subterfuge too flimsy lor

In the letter of the Governor to the Secre
tary of War, we are glad to perceive a para
graph which evidently refers to a part of a
former Message of his to the Legislature,
to which exception has been pretty gener
ally taken, and c irroborutrs the construc
tion wli.ch ire put on his former language.
We knew he would be the hist man in the
country coolly to meditate a dissolution ofthe
Union, as some have pretended to under
stand him. “ I would olfur up my life with
plrew e.” says he, “ to sustain this Uuion
for a single day.” And we do mos: sincere
ly believe that lie is the man who would li
terally do Avhat he says. When that Union
was thought to be menaced in other quar
ters. and at other t imes.we have heard him,
with impassioned eloquence, denounce tho
treason, as from the bottom of his heart he
would have abhorred the traitor. lie has
given utterance, on a particular topic, to
“ words*hat burn.” but, in the paragraph
to which we refer, he candidly discloses the
source of an excitement, which he appears
to regret as much as those who have depre
cated the effects of it. To be frank, had

Extract of a letter from Porto Cabello, j f™ne^ompliment to the object oflus affec- ( as you will perceive by the note ac
companying the pamphlet sent you a few
barity. The second point at issue is the
ebhgation of the United States, under the
circumstances of I he case, to carry the
Treaty with the Creeks iuto immediate ef
fect by force.
The first of these points, in the absence
of any settled rule of national law by which
to be guided, must be determined on the
reason ofthe case. The obligation ofthe
United States to protect those survivors
who were menaced with the fate of McIn
tosh—to forbid further effusion of their
blood, if the Treaty were wholly silent on
the subject, would, on the score of mere
humanity be undeniable. That obligation
this respect, as others have done, which wc
are happy to have been able to avoid, in do
ing .justice to what we know to be the real
feelings, convictions, and attachments of
Governor Troup.
In conclusion, let us hope, that no 6tep
will be hastily taken by the Government of
the Union or of the St ate of Georgia, in re
gard to this matter, which either will have
cauee hereafter to repent or to regret. They
have a common interact in a harmonious ad
justment of it, which it would be unfortu
nate should either misunderstand, and un
wise, once understood, should either lose

the patriotic Governor has met with all that
urbanity for which he is, in private life, so

we think) unjustly refused. But the case
of Georgia is not an exception : no particu

the publication of both, I am now respect
fully invite.
The anonymous publication in yesterday’s
Journal, ofthe same date of your letter,
and taken in connexion with the language
of it, leaves no doubt ofthe source whence
it originated. I. consequently, considering
my relationship to the Depariment. feel re"
s rained from making suitable comments
thereon. It is, therefore, only left for mo
War nor by the President, nor during the
adininistrstion nf either. We cannot disco-
er. in the course of the General Govern
ment, indicated by the papers before us,
any thing but a disposition to do justice to
the rights of Georgia and of the friendly
Indians. Its policy is to protect those who
are in danger, and prevent future violence,
between the Indians. If it shall appear
that any persons holding ' dice under the
U. States have, as is suggested, fomented
these dissentiotts, there can be no question
but they will receive permission instantly to
retire from the trusts they have abused.
With regard to the second ofthese points,
itappe.ars tit us thoreisa preliminary consi
deration which supersedes the necessity of a
present decision of the main question. It
is this : that there exists no occasion tor it.
When the territory is evacuated, the land
may be surveyed under the act which the
I.raisin' ure ofthe State of Georgia is now
inrited to pass' But is there any necessity
for an immediate execution of the surveys ?
Is the population of Georgia so redundant,
HIGHLAND WAR SONG.
Am—The Ccmpleir's are coming.
Brave sons ofthe mountains, to battle away!
Behold where they waiton usin battle array:
Though our numbers be small,
Wc can conquer or fall.
Like true Highlanders all—
Then away, away !
Tho’ the path may be gory, we’ll on.we’ll on;
Since it leadeth to glory we’ll on, we’ll on ;
But though sabres be gleaming,
And death-shots be beaming.
And the red blood be streaming,
We’ll on, we’ll on !
Say, where is the coward who trembles or
swerves ?
Let him turn, and await the base death he
deserves;
As for us, to live or die,
Ours be the hattle-crv
Vengeance and Liberty—
Ou, then ou!
By the souls of our fathers, who sleep in
their cairns 1
By their blood n hich is in us, our wives and
our bairns;
By all that can cheer us,
Tite proud foe shall fear us,
As the offspring of heroes—
We’ll on ! then on !
Then forth with your sword and away with
your slteslh;
Prepare for the harvest of conquest or death;
Loud bid your pibrochs roar.
Flourish each bright claymore,
Shout for Mac Callum More-
On ! on ! on!
