SATUBDA V MORNING, SEPT 24.
We hsd hoped that the allkin of thii
state were now so well understood, that lit-
tlo difference of opinion existed, upon the
matten in dispute, between this atate and
the United Statee, and that aince the doe
laratioa ofGorernernor Clark, his party in
compliance with the unequivocal and over
whelming expression of publio sentiment,
had withdrawn their opposition to the course
, ' ” ' “ ’ . is seen in every transaction Sr recent en
treaties shall be made and broke a^ their
pleasure. It is the hostile! who desire to
destroy the treaty—Indians always theqiost
inveterate against Georgia and the United
States, and vory many of whom are not
among the “ treaty making party,” or are
Cherokees who originally fomented the pas
sions of the Creeks, These are the “ poor
Indians “ip behalf of whom our sympathies
are awakened, whose cause is trumpet
ed from one end of the U. S. to the other;
and Ibr whom an act of injustice to Geor
gia is expected to be done, irreparable for
years, if ever it be repaired. We repeat
who is to be benefittod by the revocation
of this treaty—the government ? no! the
state? no! the Indians ? no I why then
this ardent, persevering and determined
opposition to it? “no land shall be obtain
ed whilst Troup is Governor.” The- hand
dignity of thastate of Georgia—a determin
pd resista«W of interference by the United
Sutra, in nor domestic politics, by their
agents or otherwise—a resolute assertion
of our claims, and a firm support of the trea
ty, which is to be referred to Congress. In
' this every Georgian will unite, every man
who lives under our laws, who has an in-
lorest in our community, or who possesses a
spark of regard (or the rights reserved to
the states and the peoplo. But the spirit
of party, with reckless obstinacy, still seeks
to destroy the prospects of the people of
Georgia. The people will judge between
. the parties who now offer their candidates
for the first office in their gift, Whether they
will support that party which is pledged to
maintain the rights of the state,- or go with
those Who exhibit on all occasion! e desire
not oyily to attack a political antagonist who
h^s supported those rights with' his whole
soul, but to attack the rights themselves, to
place us in the worng. and a powerful sd-
veijary in the right; of course to destroy
our interests and to humble us before him.
On such sn occasion we cannot but feel
and express ourselves warmly. The denun
ciations of papers and writers out of the
state—of those hirelings whose business it
is to sing hosannahs to the Lords of the as
cendant, those who “ have been spproarh-
. ad” too successfully by the minions of cor
ruption, or of the malignant and designing,
who gratify their qvil passions by attacking
us—have pissed by ue as the idle wind.
Yet we cannot but regret, that they
should receive countenance and support.
Whore least of all they should expect to meet
it, among ourselves. The question which
now agitates Georgia, is different from that
of any preoeding period—it is not now as it
heretofore bos been, between George M.
Troup & John Clark—(talents out of ques
tion) it is between the people of the state
of Georgia, demanding the fulfilment of her
bond with the United States, and the Uni
ted States rejecting.her claims with insult
Sod contumely—it ib Whether we shall sub
mit to wrong and insult silently and uncom
plaining, or by a firm and decided course
obtain what we conceive to be justice—
whether a state in competition with the
U. States, possesses any rights or wheth
er disputed points are to be settled by the
bayonet.
These observations are general, and such
has been the conviction of their truth, and
the coi sequent excitement of feeling, that
even the leader of the party in opposition
to the present state administration, has
come forward to declare his support of the
late treaty between the United States and
the Indians, in this state—with how much
sincerity, may be appreciated by the
fact that his supporters still continue to
urge every argument against that trea
ty. If this treaty be revoked, on the
grounds now taken, the claims of the state
of Georgia tre postponed to an indefinite
period—they may never be obtained. Why
should it be revoked, if there exists any
intention to grant the justice to the state of
Georgia, which she has a right to expect ?
Will the lands ever be obtained on more
reasonable terms, or more peaceably ? Nev
er!' The Indians who now oppose it, will
consider the revocation of the treaty, if Buch
a thing could take place, a victory obtained
over the state of Georgia, and they will
never remove unless by force, and the
ststo will still remain with a savage popu
;! lation in her bosom, to perplex and annoy
her
If the General Government have' no in
terest (as they should have none) in revok
ing the treaty, why is that object so peril,
naciously pursued ? or do they desire to de
prive Georgia of the lands'in question? We
shall be told perhaps, that justice to the In
dians requires it. Justice to' the Indians
appears to take the precedence of judtice
to Georgia, at the present time—but the In
dians who concluded that treaty hive made
a bargain which they yet consider , beneficial
to themselves. They ere not opposed to a
removal, though deserters from their rsnke,
renegadeos without power or influence,
Or those who have been intimidated
by threats from their enemies of “the
gun or the fops,” or Who have been seduc
ed by“ Cherokee Talks,” may deaire to re-
every
currenco—the State of Georgia must dis
miss the obnoxious Governor who hse urg
ed her interests so fearlessly aud energet
icnlly at the dictation of others against the
impulses of their own good senso and gra
titude. They noyer will submit to it—they
will sacrifice all iu preference to doing an
act of injustice or ingratitude at the beck
of those foreign to their interests and feel
ings. They will spurn at tho offer and in
their whole strength shew the estimation
iu which they hold it.
Military Discipline It will be per
ceived by an article which we publish from
tne National Intclligencor, that General
Gaines haB recently issued sn “ order” to
the Editors of that paper, respecting the
future* publication of bis communications to
the Executive of this state, which has been
promptly attended to by them. That the
General should forget that he was writ
ing a note to the editors of a newspaper,
and think that he was writing to Governor
Troup, (with, by the way, much the same

have witnessed the denunciation of the
“ whole horde of newspaper slanderers” in
Georgia, being ell the presses in tho state

Sir: To enable you to ascertain what

have not only abstained from mulling cap
turns, but have concealed themselves so
effectually as to prevent detection. Tho
orderly conduct of the fishermen on the
coast, the steady pursuit of tiieir occupa

sons, induce a belief that these outlaws are
not at present collected in nny force. I

“You may rely upon the accuracy nf this
statement. I have- myself seen a letter
from Mr. Everett, in which exactly the sumo
enquires are made.
“ Yours, &c.”
Mr. Everett, here mentioned, is a close
friend of Mr. Webster, u member of Con-
gres, and one of that party which is re
ducing all parties into one. by amalgama
tion. It now appears that the amalgama
tion is to be extended to the Indians. The
next step, we suppose, will complete the
process by amalgamating our slaves with
us, and entitling them as well us the Indi
ans, “ to all the privileges of citizenship.”
Tho deep interest existing in every part
of the union io the coming electiog of
Governor is evidenced every day—the
wholo hopes of our opponents rest upon
the defeat of Troup, who is inseparab
ly connected with the Treaty, and his de
feat will be considered as a proof that the
people of Georgia, do not desire to obtain
the lands, from the possession of which they
have been kept for nearly a quarter of a
century, in violation of a solemn contract;
that they comider the course adopted by
Troup in support of their interests, impro
per end unjust, and that the state is ready
to submit to any insult, and every indignity.
Why is it else that the friends of Clark in
the state, are stilt engaged in laboring
against Troup and the Treaty, to advance,
as they believe the interests of tbsir leader?
The above letter proves the anxiety ofthe
opponeots of Georgia out of the state, and
their intentions in cese the people of Geor
gia refuse to support Troup in the coming
contest. Elect Troup and the expression
of public opinion will carry conviction to
our adversaries that we are determined at
all baaarda to support what we consider oar

In my first, I made some preliminary nb-
servQtions, which neemod to mu necessary;
and many more might be made in thi i (> , ti'’ ■;
but. I pass on, to briefly review some of the
facts connected with the kite Indian Treaty-
But it must not be expected that in » neft>
paper communication like this, that I slioiu
do more than to glance at some of tJio iu*
ny facts, which the subject presents.
The U. S. Government ever ready ad
anxious to fulfil itn remaining compact uitl>
tire State of Georgia* us soon as in
formed by her authorities, that lunils might
be obtained of tho Indians, on reason a hie
terms, appropriated money for that purpose.
It is proper to assign Governor Tw»pflw
share in this treaty, which he intended
to have claimed, had the treaty goue
ight to interfere snd prevent the su vcyi? on prosperously to a conclusion. 1 slwll
In determining this que tion, let it be borne j therefore set him down as one of tho prmci*
in mind that the land* belonged loth-’ lnd. ni; actors; and in the course of my exp
and have been purchased id them loi G.-orgit inations, shall show sufficiently to unpnf-
the U. 8 who were the mere agents in '
unking the bargain, a> d had no beneficial in
'erest in it. Admit, that 'he treaty was made
umbrae treay mining pterin the Con
siiiutton, does vhat powe. give the right, un
der the pecuUr circumstances nf this case,
forcibly to prevent the survey -1 if the U.
Stai. s do nut pos*esii exclusive jurisdiction a-
ver u.e Indian lands in tbe «?id States, can
they aerive the right from any law Congress
•it pass ielating to the iadtani in their ter-
ritores generally? Upon the question of
jurisdiction under the coi.aiitutional provis*
ion, there is no doubt in our minds. If there
weic a doubt, it would be removed by r< fer
ring to thr »ct of ceiaioo, or the contract be-
' we^n “ G orgia and the United Suites.” By
shat instrument Georgia ceeded to the U. S
11 all the right title and chum wnich she has
to the juriutiction and sAl'* of tods be
yond the limits or the sure forth, considers
tions to which we huve before referred. Dy
th * sums instrument, “ the U, States accept
ihe conditions therein expressed, and they
cede to tH e 8tt e of Georgia whatever claim,
right or title they may have to the jurisdiction
or suit uf* the very lands embraceu in the late
treaty. Notwithstanding h\* express une
quivocal bargain between the parties, in which
t.it U. States cede whatever righti she may
have been sunpoacd to have, either to the
soil or the jurisdiction of the lands i and m
which they undertake io purchase the indian
Utleog they have claimed a civil and military
jurisdiction within Georgia, and now sustain
their claim at the point of the bayonet. Ar<
such a course ia wholly without justification.
I.-i the political struggle now going on in
Georgia we take no part, because we have
no right to do eo We regret tbe heat and
violence displayed by both parties Tbe con
troversy between tbe U. States and the Gov
ernor, teems to be the pivot on which tbe
election turns. The teal which many press
ea and individuals out of Georgia have dis
played in this election, deserves condemna
tion- In the commencement of the dwpute
diced minds his agency, from the documents
he has furnished, although officially lieooly
appears as tho Governor of Georgia*
I should remark in passing, that we hare
only such data «8 ho has seen fit to pure
tho public from which conclusions may be
drawn* Were we in possession of liif jour
nal of conversations, other than with McIn
tosh ; or many ofthe letters he ha? neb P 11 ,.
Ushed, this part, I believe, of my tusk wouW
be more than done. ,
But to understand fully Governor Troupe
motives we must take along with us a key
furnished by his friends immediately apt
the treaty, or his conduct will be inexphe*'
blc. “ Now it is seen lands may be obtain-
ed of the Indians, while Troup is Gorcra-
or.”
This then we take along with o» •* k
