Tho rapidity with which tlm western parts of our
country arc settled with a thriving population, is a phe
nomenon in tho history of tho wotld. Tho mighty tide
Mill rolls on to tho west, yet there is no perceptible di
minution in tho population of tho cast. Tito condition
of this part of our country indeed seems destined to show-
how fust population and improvement may proceed
where man is perfectly free, where property in the soil
upd consequent independence is within the reach of eve
ry individual, where that soil is fruitful and of boundless
extent, and where none of tho checks exist, which im
pede incrcaso of population and tho attainment of pro
perty in tho mass of (lie people in other countries.
As an example of this incrcaso of numbers and wealth,
in addition to tho many wo havo from time to time re
lated, we may cite the town of Columbus, Ohio, which
strikes our eye on tho present lime. In 1812 the lots
in that town were first exposed to sale, with the natu
ral growth yet standing upon them} and seven years
after, Columbus wns not only tho Scat of Government,
tut contained about 200 houses and more than 1300 in
habitants. But this is fur from a singular instance, or
ono of tho must prominent. Yet wo question w hether
even in tho liistory of tho west any instance can he ud-
tluccd of emigration equal to that whieh is related in a
lute Easton Register:—
“Tho tide of emigration, through this place,” that pa
per says, ,l this year, lias surpassed all previous years.
During the mouth of October, alone, no less llmu three
hundred and sixty-one way on*, loaded with moving fa
milies and thoir goods, passed lirough one of our streets,
fiut how many passed through other parts oftho town,
wo cannot toll—perhaps tiro hundred. They are mostly
destined (or the Wabash, but many arc turning their
faces to tho North. Wo learn from travellers that the
Territory of Michigan is speedily filling up w ith a po
pulation of honest, intelligent, liberal nnd enterprising
citizens—that where a few years ngo thoyi-j) oftho sa-
vago and tho howl oftho wolf alouo saluted tho ear of
tho traveller, the smooth voice oflho fanner is heard—
tltul die rustling corn covers the linunl of tho deer—.vil
lages havo been laid out, and are fust settling with rich
merchants and enterprising mechanics.”
With such a country, ufihrding so broad a field fur
industry and enterprise, and w ith tho fact of its contin
ual increase before our eyes, how ou^ht wo to prize

Mr. Dovoiibuv, from tlm Committco on tho
Stato of tlm Republic, submitted the fol
lowing REPORT:
Tho Committee on tho Stato of tho Repub
lic, to whom was referred that part of the
Governor’s communication with the accom
panying documonts, relating to the dividing
lino between the Cherokee and Creek Indians,
r °Thi-'firat fart to ho iisccrliiinril liy this on-
qttiry, is (lit- into dividing lino between the
Cherokee end Creek liution of Indians hut
two lines uro.contended for, ono by the Chero-
koes commencing ut tho Buzzard Roost oil
tho Cluittuhoouliie, thence to tho mouth ot
Wills Creek on tho Coosa, iho other claim
ed by Georgia, being tho ono run by Gol.
Wales her commissioner, beginning on the
sumo river at Suwnnnc old towns.
The evidence collected by Col. Wales on
this subject, under the instructions of tho late
Executive of this State, is certainly very
strong ill fijivor oftho position,that the line
run by him is the uneiont nnd legal lino, be
tween those two tribes of Indians. It beyond
nil doubts establishes this fact, that the Creeks
up to the year 18*21, claimed tho land to the
line thus marked by him. How that claim
was finally oottlwl, uml how tho line from
Bu/.zurd Roust, was agreed upon by the two
tribes, is n mutter existing only in the com
mon understanding oftho community; unless
indeed, a paper lately published in tho Chero
kee Phiviiix, purporting to be a treaty or con
vention between the two tribes, can bo con
sidered ns furnishing sufficient evidence oftho
fact. This paper, published as is believed by
tho authority of tho Chorokecs themselves,
cun at all events with propriety, be received
as evidence of this fact that up to tho date ol
tlmt convention, they had not an undisturbed
title or occupancy oftho land lying between
the two lines—Up to this convention, the
sumo portion of territory was claimed by thu
Creeks, uud us much or more in their occu-
pnpey, and their title us good ns that of the
Chcrokees—If tlmt ho granted, it follows ns
a consequence conclusive, that by such con
vention, the Cherokccs obtuined no better ti
tle than they before possessed. The Creeks,
if possessed of ttnv title, to the lino run by
Col. Wales, woro* invested with no power to
sell or dispose oftho same, to tho Clicrokocs,
or any other ponton.
Tho sumo right of soiling to tho Chorokecs
would have enabled the Creeks to sell to any
other power or nation; and a sale to Alnbnma,
Tennessee, or even to Spain, would have
been ns binding on Georgia, as is this pretend-
cd sale to the Cherokccs.
The right oftho Indians, living within tho
limits of any of t he old thirteen States of the
Union, being merely permissive, it relates us
a necessary consequence, that no sale of that
right etui convey any beneficial titles to the
purchaser, unless sanctioned by tlio State in
wliich they live,according to tho cons’ituliuial
authorities oftho country.
Georgia having given no consent to this
convention, and a portion of the land lying
within her limits conveyed by it, she can iu
no wise ho ulfocted by any of its provisions.
This convention having no efleet upon tho
rights of Georgia, the question occurs, whore
was tho lino between tho two tribes anterior
to its formation I it in not known to your
0 friendly to oui cnusOBlioul'd not bo dlsrc-
arded on inconBidorablo groundH. With
tho President on her side, Georgia timy ex
pect much—with him against Iter, Bho can
expect nothing. Tho respect which your coin-
uiittco tools to bo duo Iho clnot inug.ntrate ot
tlio Union, mid tho usteoni demanded by ins
exortions in our bcliall, incline thorn to n com
pliance with his wishes on this subject.
This inclination, already strong, is incroas.
oil hv tho fact, that thoroarout tins timo com-
missioners appointed by tlio authority of tins
Legislature, collecting additional testimony
this subject—prudence dictates a suspen
sion of our determination until Hist
ny is received. There will ho less ililliciilty
in assenting to lids course, when It is recol
lected that the portion ol territory is sinali,
and nooxpectiim is indulged that its manner
of disposition will be different from that here

aid oft he escort granted by President Jackson,
and tho volunteer Mexicans, thu Caravan
would have siitlered severely from robbery and
murder, and that this inland branch of trade,
so essential to tho west, from tho returns of
gold nnd silver which it affords, must have
been broken up. President Jackson bus saved
it this year by doing all that ho could—grant
ing nn escort of infantry; let Congress at the
ensuing ness toil perform its part, by granting
an appropriation for mounting uud properly
equipping that escort.
C'vbiovh Ctitru>:sTAxn:.—An individual
of intemperate habits, engaged in unloading a
shallot) of wood nt one of our wlmrvevs felt
something pass up hin sleeve to which lie
paid 110 attention until a sensation of violent
burning induced him to examine his arm.—
On stripping up his sleeve he discovered an
animal resembling a lizard, which# from the
existence of throe small pimples near tho
shoulder, ho concluded had bitten him. The
arm immediately swelled up to tin onomium*
size—became of a bright rod colour nnd in
tensely painful. No medical attendance
was procured for live days. The arm from
tho Kliouhlcr to the elbow was then fully us
thick as tho thigh of an ordinary sized man-
painful to tho touch—tin evident lluctnation
of*matter was detected throughout, the whole
circumference oflhe arm, nnd upon nu incis
ion being made t hrotigh tho skin and cellular
membrane nearly half agallon of well condi
tioned matter wns evacuated—after this tho
swelling, pain nnd inflamation rapidly declin
ed and with the exception of a slight attuck
of mania a pntu, tho health oflhe patient was
completely reinstated.
There is 110 doubt tlmt in this case the vio
lent intlnmation from so slight a cuuse is to
ho attributed solely to tho irritable state of
the patent's constitution arising from his
tjuhits of intemperance. There is no reason
for believing that any poison wus cominun-
tiicutcd by the annual found 011 the arm nr
if it really was a lizard, that even a bite was
inflicted.
^ The above facts were communicated to tho
Editor by the physicinff who had charge of
the at sc.—Urg. of Penn.
an he no valid objection to avail ourselves of
tho testimony of creditable witnesses, in the
ascertainment of any proposed fact. So far
then as that kind* of testimony has been .sub
mitted to your committee, they feel little
hesitancy in pronouncing nn opinion in favor
of the line run by Col. Wales. Taking this
then to he the true line, there can be but little
doubt, that a legal exposition of the different
treaties made by tlio United States with the
Crooks, will give all the land below tho sumo
to Georgia. This fact agreed on, tho ques
tion is presented to tho Legislature, does
policy require Georgia to take unmediate pos
session oftho disputed territory J If the in
terest. of the State in the lands occupied by
the Indians, extended alone to this territory,
the question would be divested of much of its
difficulty of answer. This however# is not
thu- fact.
]Jnr interest in this small portion of territo
ry is certainly inconsiderable, when compared
with her interest in the other lands occupied
by the Cherokee nation. Tho greater should
never lie sacrified to tho smaller interest;
and a policy inducing such a residt would be
equally fullacions when adopted by a State us
by an individual.
If a hasty and abrupt possession by us of
this disputed territory would probably en
danger the speedy acquisition of the whole
territory in the occupacy of tlio Cherokeos,
prudence and interest both dictute a forbear
ance ut present—Judging from the known
character of the Indian, and the effects which
certain causes are likely to produce on their
actions, it is certainly not without the rutigo
of probability, that a rigid cxcctmcnt of our
rights ini tlfis occlusion, might produce a more
unbending obstinacy on the part of the Clicr-
okces, not to remove beyond the Mississippi.
Your committee is supported in this opinion
by that oftho President oftho United States.
The situation iu which Georgia finds herself
in connection with the General Government,
and tho extinguishment for her use of the In
dian title to the lands within her char
tered limits, is ditforont now from that under
former administrations. It in painful, yet your
committee feels const ruined to express the be
lief that former Administrations of tho Gener
al G overnment, if not opposed to the interests
of Georgia,have at least been insomc mensem
iudilfereut to those interests. But Georgia
may now congratulate hcrsolftlmt tho present
Executive oftho Union is not only willing to
do her justice, but has entered into tho sup
port other cause with a cheerful ness uud
zeal equal to his power, nnd which can alone
be defeated of-success, by un unfortunate and
fatal obstinacy on tho part of tho deluded In
dians. This friuml and able coadjutor in
the procurement tor us oftho whole Chero
kee lauds, requests earnestly, that wo should
for tho present forbear taking compulsory
measures with regard to this disputed terri
tory.
This request is made not for his, but our
benefit, lie cherishes the expectation, that
a little more delay and moderation on our
part, will enable him to nrocure an early ex
tinguishment of the Cherokee title to the
whole of their country. A request of **ne
