Oh, how glorious nre tne benefit* derived 10 a free people from *' military chieftains," and a standing " mi litary three" uudnr “ thoir command" ! M people of Georgia I these things demand end should obtain your serious considera tion I There is, however, another point of view in which, if the rclution of the Indians to the lltytcd States and the Stale of Georgia, bo considered, some of the difficulties wo have presented may bo obvitftod. Vattel ;huok I,oil, I#) describes a kind of inhabi tants of a country differing from the citi zens ofit, in the following words: “ The in- habitant;r, as distingnished from the citizen», arc foreigners wlio lire pcrmmilted to settle and stay in the country.—Bound to the so ciety by their residence, they ore subject To the laws of the slate, while they reside in it i and thoy are obliged to defend it, bo- cause it grants them protection, though they iIn nut participate in alt the rights nf citizens. They enjoy only the advantages which the taw or custom gives them. The perpetual 'Inhabitants, are those who have received tiic right of perpetual residence- These ate a kind of citizens of an inferior order, and arc united to society, without participating in S ll its advantages. Their children follow m condition of their fathers; und as the Mate has given to tlteso the rights of per petuul residence, thu right passes to their posterity," In this point of view the Jews wnro, anil by some vet are, considered by many civil iied nations. In t lie same situation at dil ferent periods, were many religious sr.his matics considered. The Gipseys, or Egyp tians, were somewhat of the same order.— The slaves and free negroes of the Unite. States, certainly fall under tins description and ao in tny humble opinion, ilo the Indi tins within the limits if Georgia. Tim' we have taken from them the absolute fee simple property oftlic soil, there is no doubt •ndao the Supreme Court of the Unites Stales have Baid in their decision of thu case pf Fletcher & Peck, already quoted. Whe ther this waa done justly by the British Gov arniiient, from whom toe the people o Georgia derived it, i9 not now the question /(teas done.—and none but the enemies o Georgia, or some hair-brained philnnthro pisis will deny it. In fact the government qj'tlie United States dare not deny it, for i' holds all of its public domain and territory, by exactly the same kind of title. But I have Used certain expressions whicli require ex planation—I hsve said, “ we the people if Georgia,” By these words I mean the t‘ white people of Georgia.” Some may pre tend to stare at this explanation. Let them do so until they are laughed at for their folly. I choose to call things by their pro per names ; and as citizens of Georgia, 1 c~ know uo others than white people, and \vi, li to know no others. The truth is, the con tinent of America was discovered, conquer ed and occupied by the white people of Ett- fope. Tile ieh,t-people governed it until the Revolutionary war. The white peo pit of the United States declared hide pendence, and this declaration enured, and was intended to enuro to their own exclusive benefit, however ineongro ous it may seein with certain expressions in that declaration, wherein it is laid down as * self-evident truth, •' that ail men are cre ated equal." S[c. At tliat very moment hone of the declarers admitted the negro or the Indian to he his equal. Willi thie de claration neither negroes or Indians had any thing to do. It was the white people a ho fought and accomplished their indepen dence. it was the white people alone of the several provinces, who afterwards formed themselves into bodies politic, and assumed the character and name of a free, sovereign and independent state. It was with the white people, that the treaty of peace was made', and the white people aloUe, constitut ing tiie memhors of the sociul body in each state, were acknowledged by that treaty to be tree, sovereign and independent. It was tile while people of I Ilo ri'flt.-s w'lio entered *ato t he articles of confederation. It was llio white people who trained and adopted ' the Federal Constitution •• in order to form , a more perfect Union, establish justice, in sure domestic tranquility, provide tor the j common defence, promote the general wel- ! faro, and secure t lie blessings of liberty" to I themselves and their posterity. With all | these important transactions, I repeat the ; negroes and Indiana had nothing to do. All honest men will .knowledge wnat I have said. Some moon struck moralists may whine about tiie injustice that tiie high pro- lending white lovers of liberty are doing to tju-ir table fellow creatures oftlicir own spe cies. Let them whine ; but let us be white people still. But returning to the consideration of the condition of tile Indians. I have said that the British Government, whether by dis covery, conquest, violence, or usurpation, nr oy whatever other means, is immaterial, in- vested and pussessed ihemselves of the ab solute fee simple interest, the absolute right of domain over the soil within the lim its ot Georgia, and that from that period whatever favors were done to tiie Indians by permitting their local residence upon the soil was ot grace, favor and kindness, and not of right, under the principles of national law, and in the rightfulness of this title thus acquired, all the civilized nations of the rorth acquiesced. From that very moment, tiie Indians became, as to Great Britain, mere inhabitants of the territory. They agreed to place themselves, and The British Government agreed to receive them under its protection, (see the proclamation of 1163. J Their residence on the soil was permissive as has been said. By the proclamation referred to, limiting grounds were allotted br reserved to them. This proclamation, however, us we have seen from the decis ion of the Supreme Court, was a " tempo rary arrangement," (and of course could be repealed ot pleasure) “auspendiug for a time" (not permanently) “ the settlement of the country reserved," but which set tlement, by virtue of its sovereign rights of domain and empire, the British Govern ment could have prosecuted at its pleasure and discretion. Thus permitted to reside on the soil, under the proteciionoftlic Brit ish Government, they were not received in tho character of cnizens, they had few rights of citizenship given to them. They were permitted to adopt their own munici pal regulations—To dispose of the country they had no right—To appropriate it in any other manner than as permitted, they hail no right. Their use or it was to be in common and not iu severalty, the British Government retaining to itself the power of disposing of it in such manner as to pro- mats its iiuersist and prosperity at- its own discretion, ns to time and manner Under this view of tbo subject, tbs Indiana were as to the British government, mere inhabitants upon thu territory over which it was sovereign, and on the tranter oftlic ter ritory to the white people of Georgia, by the treaty acknowledging them to be free sovereign aud independent and relinquishing to them all claims ot government properly and territorial rights of the same, the peo ple of Georgia received it with all the rights of sovereignly Hint Great Britain held it, and of course as In them, the Indians be came mere Inhabitants, If then the British government could ilave settled the country, at its pleasure, so could Georgia. If tho Indians were under its prelection, so wore they thereafter under that of the State of Georgia, and by rcfcrrenco to the treaty of Galpliiiitoii.concluded in 17ti5.it will be found that the Indiana renewed to Georgia the same relation and subjection they acknowl edged to Great Britain, by admitting tor “ themselves and all the tribes of towns within their respective nations, within tho limits of the Slate of Georgia, have been, and hone on; members ot the same, since tho day and date of the constitution of the said Slate of Georgia." If tho British govern ment could suspend and recommence tiie settlement of the country, so could Georgia. If that could assign or allot, or reserve hunt ing grounds for the Indians, and forbid for n time the surveying and appropriation of the lands thus reserved, so could, and so did Georgia. Could it repeal or annul the act of suspension ? So could Georgia. There being uo law to forbid the survey, (in esse of repeal) little doubt can be entertained that the grants and surveys of the laud to individuals by Great Britain, would liavu been valid under the British government So hy repealing the laws heretofore passed furbidding the surveying and granting the lands reserved to the limiting grounds of I hr , Indians by Georgia, os little doubt can be entertained of tne validity of the grunts of Georgia. Iu fact when the Yazoo grants were issued, was nut the whole country oc cupied by the Indians, and has not the So preme Court of the U. States declared those grants to be valid and irrevocable ? If this view oflhe quest ion be correct, (anil it is submitted tor the consideration of the people o Georgia) if the Indinna within the 'iinits of Georgia are inhotnlmh. su tordina ' o her laws whenever she cheeses to extend heir operation to them; ifthev so fa. a lhov are within tho limits of Jpeorgia ar mim’icrs of that State, and have been (ac cording In their own agreement and uc- kiioivhidgeinentui the treaty of Gslphinton ' lias the United States or any other power a right to make treaties with them separate ly and distinctly from the constituted au tnnhtieH of Georgia. It would seem they had not Has not Georgia now. when she shall choose to do, not only a right to appro- prmie the lands on which the Indians are resilient, anil now use as hunting grounds, but to extend the operations of the laws to them as p-rsons, inhabitants and numbers of the body politic of that State? She cer tainly has Could lint the Slutc of Georgia now enter into contracts or agreements oith the Iniiiiiiis within her limit* as inha bitants or inutnhers of the State, os sho could with others, citizens and inhabitants, subject to Iter jurisdiction and laws, about their hunting grounds or any other matter nm fnrliidd h by some permanent authority? If they are her inhabitants, she certainly could. Would such contracts or agree ments, be in violation of the treaty making power confided to thu General Government ? It would not ; no more than n contract be tween the State and one of hor citizens in which an estuie was bought, But to put this question at once to sleep. Suppose the articles of agreement and cession of 1802 had never been emereil into. Could sny other State nr sovereignly on earth without the assent of Georgin acquired by treaty with the Indians in her limits, have any eartblv right to any portion of tho lands now enjoy ed by them as hunting grounds ? Tin niest thorough advocate ofl'edcrul power on earth, if lie be not insane, would not say they could. 3d. Did the State of Georgia relinquish any portion of her sovereignty by the arti cles of agreement mill cession concluiltui with thu United States in 1802? She di-l, to the territory therein ceded, blit to the territory reserved to herself no? an'inta,thnt had not been yielded by the federal consti tution. No argument is nccessury to prove this. But there urea few things growing out of these articles of 181)2, that deserve no tice. The first is that all the things engaged to lie done by the United States are to be performed as conditions to tiie cession made by Georgin. livery body can un derstand that where conditions are annex ed to n grant, either the grants become void, or tho grantors become entitled to remuneration by action at law for the brench of the condition. But in contracts between nutions aud communities, there is no wny of coercing remuneration but by force, for there is no court to whom an appeal cun be mude. Consequently lie can only contend that thcgnttit is void, and hy force repossess himself of the thing gt tinted, or if lie cannot do that, content himself with the loss, after tuxing the other party with a want of good faith. This is cxuctly the case with Geo about these articles of agreement and cession. The United States received a cession of land from Georgia upon several condi tions,one of which wus that tho United States should ill their own expense extin guish for the use of Georgia ns early as the same could be peaceably obtained on reiisomdiie terms, thu Indian title to all the land within the reserve d limits of Geo. The nceusions upon which this could have la-en done have been frequent. Since these articles were entered into, the In- diuns have been entirely removed from Ohio.Kentucky, Norilimid South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, und almost all the Arkansaw territory with none of whom was tltere any such contract. Five times as much land us. remained iu possession of the Indians in Georgin, Imve been ob tained in Alabama, and much lias been ob tained in Mississippi, (two States formed out of the territory ceded by Georgia,) large session* have been made in Indinna, Illinois, Michigan, und even Florida tho latest formed Territory,will soon bn it st un in etmseqiteuco of the removal of the In diana. A quarter of a century lias ex pired. Tho Indiuns have been literally driven within the reserved Units of Geor gia, und yet w* are told the United Stales could not fulfil this condition. A more gross, wanton, unjust and insulting viola- t inn of good fail h never disgraced t he annals of any nation!! The contract is to all intents and purposes void. But what can 'Georgia do! By becoming a party to the federal constitution, she gave up the sword and the purse, and that sword, and thnt purse are at this moment employed •gainst her to intiniidute bur from the enjoyment of her rights. She eminot re take the country ceded to the U. States, fur two States have been formed out of it, almost equal to herself in strength, whose hatred has been excited against her, and from whose fertile lunds the United States treasury has been enriched with millions. She is not permitted to contract for the removal of the Indians, nor to remove them by force. She has remonstrated, and her remnnstrakces line those of the colonics, have elicited nothing but in sult and reproach. What can she do? Nothing hut humlde nud curse herself for her folly.—Oil nty native State! n cen tury of huinilintinti und despnir Will not sufficiently atone for the error of having made that disustrnus and vretclied con tract !! But desperate ns your hnpns nre from this contract, it will he well to enquire into the nature and extent of year right. Su|e pose you had never entered into litis liar- gain, winch h is been ruinous to you and to you only. Do you really never think or did you think when you ratified tiie constitution that you Imd given up your rights of domain so far hy that instruineut as tlmt you never could hy tiny exercise if power in yourself, settle und approp riate the vacant lands which became yours by the treaty with Great Britinn ? Did vott suppose thnt because you Imd vested in the federal government the power to “re.u ate”the manner in which blankets, guns, ammunition und trinkets, should he exchanged tor venison hums, deer skius and furs, (und this is wlmt I understand hy the Indiun trade,) or the power iif tun ning treaties with powers entirely foreign to the United Stines, thnt you were re linquishing utiy portion of your rights to soil, especially when in the same iusuti- montyiiu provided that tmth.ttg therein should hu construed to prejudice your claims to territory within your limits? Never! never! IJconsider ns n portion of your sovereign rights, reserved fur your own benefit, wlici the constitution was adopted and nove yielded by that instrument, and never it,, tended to be yielded—Gould we Imve re ceived the lands under the lute treaty, there had been no necessity for this dis- ciisioit. But it is prnlinmtienl whether thiittreuty will ever be executed, his to he submitted to Congress for repeal, as is distinctly avowed. Although made ex clusively bv the agents of the federal gov ernment, it is said to Imve been the work of intrigue und trnachniy, by one depart ment of tlmt government, and all thu machinery nf this federal colossus has been and will he employed to annul it, nnd throw the odium of its formation upon the constituted authorities of Georgia. Should this he the issue of the present attempts I shall have- lost all hopes of acquiring and tiling more under our compact with the U. States. Tlmt government is now too great &.powerful to care about being charg ed with bud I'uitli. In refusingtoliilftl its engagements and annulling ns it will at tempt to do the late treaty, its positive determination to injure this Stale is suffic iently manifested. So far from having employed ngcnls who would pave the way to a full mill und final fulfilment nf this compact it has scut none but Crowell’s Httd Andrew’s i$’ Game's whose unreaiitt- eil exertions have been used to multiply obstacles, and who have linen permitted with impunity nay with reward to insult our government and vielify oar public functionaries. Thus far mnnnstruuue und complaint and request have been equally disregarded. Wlmt then are we to do? nlmll we cease exertion? Have we indeed ben dragooned by Gen. Gaines, nnd “the the forces under It s command" to this st-iti of slavish submisri m worse then a sla . I provincialism? No fellow citizens. 1 1 hi opposition will only drive us to reinvesti gate our rights. 1 have been making this ntteutpt by enquiring into your rights un connected with the late treaty.

The That previous to the cnmpnct ot reader no doubt has distinctly understood whut .1802, the people of Georgia were resrtai- iny opinion of it ia.
