As, however, we have fjTpe currency toopinions,. In'.which cannot agree,*] our dissent, by groui In doin' in which onr opinion is in 1817 and 1819. Th is expense was never in contemplation at the fulfilment of the treaty—it was not expected'that the Idea- d- lion of a pah of the Indians on the*£aMe. l*,pf.lhe United States, would havqpMen I'ghl'iiito the adoount against the" state, , ? A reaeryation off^ve millions of acres, was also consented to by Georgia, to quiet claims which might bo brought forward, to noy portion of the lands : but so averse sins life state of Georgia from the grant, that ii this, we only use 4be every cititen, and whjeh jye hwefitfilj , corded to others. Neither bur limit* nod our lime permit an examination in detail of the opinions of others, nor a very full ex pression of our own. We shall, therefore, dispatch onr subject in as small a space as possible. Indeed so much has appeared, upon it that it ia perhaps unnecessary to - pay much attention to asaertiona, a re futation of which will be found in preced ing publication!. It is not at all surprising that those who can perceive no cause for the excitement exhibited in this state,"should attribute it to “ Governor Troup and his party" whose interests are intended to’ be promoted by it; but before we give the asaertion our crcd •nee it may well (walked, why ia it tlio in terear of that party to create feelings of this description more than the .other? But it is not the fact, and .we refer to all the cor respondence beiwoer, our delegatee in Con great and the U. S. Government for years past, where the same feelings are express ed In relation to the rights and interests of this state, especially in regard to our claims to Indian lands. That these gentlemen have not misrepresented public fucli g is proved satisfactorily by their repeated re- election. As to the excitement existing on the cubject of slavery few men can be so ignorant as not to know, that the feelings expressed by Governor Troop are the popolar feelings of the south. Those who can remember the agency of the Missouri discussion, and the speeches of Mr. King, in producing the revolt of 1822 in South Carolina, which threatened to involve Charleston in all the horrors of an insur rection, whose object was murder and ra pine, and who can at the same time term the resolution of Mr. King to purchase that portion of our population' with our public lands, or the resolution for croatiug a colo ny of a similar description of persons on our Continent, “ innocent motions,' 1 ' will of course set down the'determination of the south to resist such interference, to treason or mad • nass, or any but the true cause. But so phistry cannot disprove, nor ingenuity pre vent, the entire belief in the necessity fur guarding our interests, and the determine- impUcBtion or construction that we are lcft turn to use all the means dictated by self- preservation. As little can it be expected that those who view with complacence the vile abuse of a venal press should feel for us or act with us. in United States, must have come from tnaueni settlement, whilst those in the up- e National Treasury.

Mr. Calhoun has rlso brought the character of the Indian title, as into the account the value of the lands! recognised by o»r usages and laws, whilst ($1,244,237) exchanged witli the Chorokees i by the modo in which they have been treat- ted, the fulfilment of our contract by obtain Mfpeareable aud reasonable destroyed, the party to the state of Georgia from the grant was expressly stipulated that if an act should he passed to dispose of it, after the expira tion of one yoar, the whole contract should he considered null and void. This reserva tion was obtained by the United States, only to protect themselves against claims, which the state of Georgia never would have paid, .which could not be recognixed by her, and cannot be brought into the ac count against her. But wo consider this point of little con sequence—wo contend that it is a bargain, fairly made, and the only question is, has it been fulfilled as it should have been ? We are informed thattheGovernnient have been ever anxious to fulfil it. Is it to be sup posed fur a moment, if the government had been desirous to fulfil this agreement they would not have obtained the lunds before thistime? The contract of 1802 has been forgotten—whilst the title to millions of acres has been extinguished in other states where the proceedsot the land went direct ly to the General coders. Is it to be be lieved that it was in the contemplation of those who formed this ironty that twenty years were to expire before its fjlfilnteut.— It was to have been completed as soon as could be effeted peaceably and on reasonable termsi This phrase which has beon so much harped upon, uever could have been intended, as it is now used, as an excuse for delay and a denial of our just rights for so long a period. By peaceable terms was in tended to be understood, any time in which an actual war did not forbid negociatinns— by reasonable terms, the usual terms upon which lands of the like character could he obtained- And will any one say that, dur ing the lapse of twenty-three years, when so many Indian lands have been obtained for a mere song by the Gonernl Govern ment. that it is possible no such opportuni ty could have been found to extinguish the I Indian title in Georgia ? But it is not by to judge of the conduct of the General Go vernment in relation to the contract with Georgia. In place of constantly present ing to the In lians the necessity of removal, in treaties made with them since that peri- The subject of the convention of 1802, od, they have been furnished blacksmiths, and the claims of the Indians generally, have been sn fully canvassed for a time past, that they shnuld be i-nderstood—we can didly acknowledge that we can advance nothing nets, yet a recurrence to facts is necessary. We have been told, that patriotism, pride and even justice, dictated to the slate of Georgia, at the close of the revolution, the same course pursued by the states of Mas sachusetts, Connecticut, New-York, Vir ginia and North Carolina, in the relinquish ment of their lands to the United StnteB. We know not the conditions upon which the lands in those states were surrendered, but we do know that at least one of them (Virginia) regrets tho act as one,the effects of which are felt to this day, and if we mis take not, the Indian claim in North Caro lina was extinguished by the General Gov ernment, as it has in part been extinguish ed in this slate. But a reference to the contract of 1802, will shew that the state of . Georgia was little behind her sisters in eith er “ patriotism, pride, or even justice,” in her relinquishment. The quantity of land which was ceded to the Uoion by that agreement, was estima ted at eighty-six milliont of octet, which at $2 per aero, would amount to one hundred and seventy two millions of dollars. Will any one pretend that the enm prom ised to bo paid by the General Government, was considered by either party.aa thepries f-r this land? H waa not tq.cousidei cd—and the contract itself will shew it— Th* condition of the cession by tho state of Georgia, on the part of tho General Gov ernment, was the payment of $1,250,000. out of the proceeds of the land, “ as a con sidnrition for the expenses incurrfd by the .gtatao^Gporgif, (n relation to the said ter ritory.” Now this’consideration was not Ac. encouraged to form permanent settle ments, and their lands liaVo been actually guaranteed to them in this state, in posi tive violation of the contract, as tnay be seen by reference to the treuty with Gener al Jackson. At this period an opportunity offered for the extinguishment oftlie Indian title to all the Creek landB in the state—two thirds of the nation had been in arms against the United States—they were a conquered people—and an equivalent for the war was demanded from them—they were reduced to such extreme want, that the U. S. agreed to supply them with the necessaries of life, until the crops shnuld come to maturity.— This waa the chosen period—the whole lands in the state might have been cheaply end peaceably obtained, for jhe Indians could then and would gladly have removed to a new situation, where no further ex pense would have been required fur their support on the part of the government than in their own ruined country—tney would have preferred a change of place to a loss of territory—but our claims were forgotten —the contract was not.thought nf, and af ter taking such laud as was thought pro-! per, Dot only were they permitted to remain, but one of the articles of the treaty provid ed for the establishment of trading houses among them, and as we have before said, guaranteed them in posssession of our land, the duty of extinguishing their title to which, by onr consent, had devolved on the Gen eral Government. 1 defeats it, no fa,,'^’equally ^ Idhntly breaks it- The question, sophistry.and affected philanthro py aside, is simply this— The contract exists —it is not disputed—opportunities have been suffered to pass when it might have been fulfilled advantageously to both par ties—we have complied with it on our own part—if the second party have neglected to fulfil it, and have by their measures tended to defeat it entirely, it must be considered null and void, and We have the right to de- mund restitution of our territory, or to take its fulfilment into our own hands.— But will the government agree to either of these propositions i 1 Will they, after de ducting the sums paid to the Indians, and the charges against the s: ate, pay over the proceeds of public hinds in the ceded territn ry, (amounting to upwards of 10,000,000 ol dolls, in 1824.) to our treusury ? Il'not, what course will they pursue? Will they still say in the pitiful quibbling cunt oftlie day. that tho time has not arrived when they may obtain the lands on peaceable and rea sonable terms ? Ii will mu be denied that the parties to the contract have an eqoui right lo interpret its provisions, although the government has hitherto assumed it ex clusively A most unreasonable period has elapsed, and the fulfilment of our contract is as far off as ever; wo say the time hn arrived, and yet we are denied our lands, nnd even the hope of obtaining a part is de strnyed by a reference to Congress. Lei us then hear no more of the excrlious made to extinguish the title to t he lands embraced in that oontract—it is adding misrepreaentu tion to injury. Tho Milledgeville Journal of Tuesday last, states that the Exposition oftlie U. 8. Commissioners who concluded the late treaty, Messrs. Campbell and Merriwethcr, was expected to be received by them on the precceding Saturday, but that its non- arrival must have been li e consequence of some accident. The public louk with much anxiety for this statement. It will no doubt place the facts relative to that much misrepresented treaty on a proper foundation. We anticicipate not only a clear vindication oftlie treaty itself, but full disclosure of the chicanery which hus been put in requisition to defeat it. Internae Improvement It will bo seen by an article we publish this day from the Milledgeville Journal, that Governor Truup is in correspondence with the Gover nor of Tennessee, on the subject of con nectingthe waters of that state with those of Georgia, and the Atlantic. The must may be Imped fiom the energetic character of the Governor in this project, and if sup ported by the people, we have no doubt that tho plan mny be carried into effect lo the infinite benefit of the state. On the 8th of August Capt. John Bed- well nf the Colombian schr. Isabella, was tried for acts of pirncy alleged to have been committed on board the British sloop Grey hound, on her pasengn from Manzcnilla, in Cuba, to Montego Bay. It appears that two days after the sailing of theGreyhound, she was fallen in with by the Isabella, but it seems from the evidence to the jury that no piratical acts were perpetrated, and he was accordingly acquitted. On the 14tli instant, four now brick hou ses in Reid-street, New-Yo.rk, fell with a 'remendoua crash -nine work men wei precipitated among the ruins, none nf whom were killed, although some ef them were much injured. The buildmgB had been run up, ns it is called by contract. Two nthera adjoining, were pulled down by or der of the corporation. : A postscript to a letter from Glasgow re eeived tti Charleston, dated 10th of August says, “ An estinvnte of the Stock of Cotton in the porta of thp United Kingdom on the first of January next, has been made—shew ing it to he 183.000 bngs less than what it was 1 Bt of January last. Msny look forward to a rise in the article by or before that time.” Letters received at New York dated tOth nf August, from llnvre, state that Rice had fallen there to 34 frnnes, from the expecta tions nf a good harvest. Cotton continued at former prii’-s, hut with an improved de mand—thespinners being disposed to buy more freely in consequence of tho Mills re suming their activity. There were 157 deaths in the city of New Orleans during the month of August. Gov. TROUP AND lNTF.RAI. Im PROW AT f NT. --Last week we referred toacorrespnndcnce between Gov.

( Sin: I had tiie pleasure to receive your Excellency’s letter this morning. This go vernment will cheerfully unite with that of tiie State of Tennessee in devising and carrying into effect measures fur uniting the icattrs of Tennessee with those of Georgia which empty intu the Atlantic.—It is not pre sumed!! hat'Tennessee would choose to puss into tiie Gulf ol Mexico it a way could be opened for her to the Atlnntic. Of Hie prac ticability of this, there is not the least doubt. You will see by the enclosed copy of in structions that I only wait the arrival of our civil engineer to set him to work in your quarter. It is very gratifying to me to be lieve that Georgia and Tennessee, if not already, will before long be inliinntely uni ted by common interests and common feel ings. On reference to the letter books of your office you will probably find a letter on the subject addressed by Goveruor Sevier of your Stale to the Governor of Georgia and which may be useful to you. We cannot say any thing definite on the subject of prac ticability or expense until the country has been explored and surveyed. You will find some difficulty in commanding the ser vices of a competent engineer; this species of mental acquirement being in great de mand at present, and the supply of it limited. The one recently in the service of Noth Carolina may be unemployed at present. With great consideration and respect. G. M. TROUP. In onr last paper wa gava a tetter from Gen.

I must be incredulous Here it is proper to n tice the fate of McIntosh. And we must again refer to the agent’s letter by winch we learn the Chiefs were anxious to visit Washington. They had the promise oftlie U. 8. government, that it would never take choir lunds without the consent of their council and for a valu able consideration. In hopes of redress at Washington tin y had remained peaceable. It cannot now bt doubted, that, had nut the Governor interfered, and the Chiefs had vi sited Washington, that the government there would have soothed them into un ac quiescence to the treaty. But this last fi t of McIntosh, by which Georgia was virn»- ally put in possession ofthe land, by rcnilti- ing them hopeless of redress, inane tin ' desperate. We are to recollect thnt this fatal consent for survey was given ou the 25tu April :arid ns soon as the Chiefs could have b**eu ad vised of it, a resolution for Mdutosii’a death must have been taken.

If the friends of Governor Troup intend it should be believed that a crisis has arisen in our affairs sufficiently alarming to author ize ihe violent course that lie has adopted; and that moderate councils can no lunger support our rights; I contemn the impos ture and laugh at their effrontery. It is, however, certain that facts have been so se dulously misrepresented, that it becomes ne cessary in combating their errors, to enter much into detail. And even here the pub lic are listless, because they believe them selves already in po^ession of what the wri ter would relate. Under these disadvanta ges I cannot hope to subserve the cause of truth greatly; but as much as is in my power I wiir attempt. Before I resume the examination of Gov. Troup’s conduct relative to the Indians di rectly, I will notice his difference with the agent. And that this difference did not have its rise in any thing connected with the treaty I will first show. W« have been told, generally, by all the public papers which support Gov. Troup, that, Crowell attended it Milledgeville dur ing the canvass between Troup and Talbot Ibr Governor. That it was said at the time, that Crow ell hod confirmed some members, from the frontier counties in support of Talbot. That the difference at this period, took, if not its rise, at least, sufficient consistence to be called settled enmity will appear from Gov. Troup himself. In his letter to the President, dated 23d Dec. 1824, speaking of the agent, he says, “ Yon had timely and sufficient warning by a communication which I had occasion to makesom twelve months since, nnd which was answered by the confirmation of this man in. his office.” “ That communication was made with the foreknowledge that. he ! would so uniformly deport himself whenever 1 the interests of Georgia was involved.” possession. ., *, a And lignin in his letter announcing lhe l-”t coornge unattended will, oil e virm a death of McIntosh ho says “ Ever anil anon " b " vr tl "’ the government of tho U.

But his enemy was confirmed in office aud if we imagine that tbe Governor believed tho influence of Mr. Calhoun had effected it, we may likewise easily divine the motive ofthe Goveruor for those abusive letters lo that gentlemau while Secretary of war.
