From a Missnge nf Joints Munror, _
“ I have no hestitution, however, tu declare it ns my
opinion that the Indian title was not affected iu the
slighest circumstance by the compact with Georgia, and
that there is no obligation oti the Un.tcd States to re
move the Indians by forev. The express stipulntiun.of
the compact, tint their title should be extinguished ul
the expense of the the V. States, when it way be'done
pcnctubty und on rcnsnnnhle conditions, is a full proof that
it was the clear and distinct understanding of both parties
to it, that the Indians hud aright to the territory, tit Uu*
d Hposal of which they wore to lie regarded as free
agents. An uUciu) t to retnuve them by force, would m
my opinion he unjust. In the future measures tube n-
dopted in regard to the Indians within our limits, and, ill
consequence, within the limits of any Si ale, the U. 8.

We will not refer tho w r.tor to the Ulussage published

from Mr. Monroe dues not bear upon tho question ns it

Tho protracted discussion in ihe House on

prevented me from noticing tho proceeding^
of the Senate os usual.
In tho Senate oh that day, tho Committee

Tliat they, have had tho subject under consb
deration, and are duly impressed with tho irt*

School System of Georgia is miserably; defec
tive your Oommittco hy.ve luid mortifying 1 es-
tiinohy intlio returns of the several counties,
submitted to their inspection dturing tho pre

Schools, alt hough entirely inadequate to effect
tho important desideratum of lurnislnng the
means for a plain and substantial education to
every family iu the State under a moro regu
lar and cconoitHcal administration, has, it is
found, beou dissipated with comparatively
little benefit. Your Committee have no he
sitation in saying, that Georgia is yet posses
sed of umplu means to conauuunato the most
sanguine wishes of tho philanthropist in re
gard to universal education, so lar us her own
population is concerned: to apply tho inoaus
effectually to the object seems then to bo tins
only difficulty which presents itself to. vottr
Committee. They therefore have thought it
expsdient to offer tho following:-—

Ibr ull experience has shown that tho association with
tho white man has been destructive to tho Indian. In
deed, no better means could be devised surely to destroy
the Cherokees, than tu leave them in this stale. But
the object of the govcrniucit is different, and those per
form but n questionable net of friendship who would keep
them where they are. Wo shall however, say no more
upon this thread-huro subject. Mr. Monroe, who is
quoted by Ihe writer, so lotij» ago as 1817, said, tho

tho President decided, that one brunch of the
Gcnortil Assembly had no right to pass a re
solution, calling on tho Officers of the Cen
tral Batik fur an expose of its state and eon-
d tion,in terms of tlio resolution. The Cen
tral Bank, as well us all tlio Banks, was a
chartered institution ; that charter was as va
lid as all other charters; if Iho charter was
not a good ami valid one, the bills issued by
tlio ollicers are to all intents und purposes
bills of credit. 2d.' Because tlio l£tk section
of tho charter points out the manner and mode
by which the General Assembly shall obtain
such information as is sought fur by tho reso-
lotion. It is therefore the opinion of tlio
Chair, that the information asked for in tlio
resolution must be the net of tho General As
sembly, and not one branch thereof only.
An appeal was then made to tlio Senate
from the decision of tho President, which re
sulted us follows—For the decision 132, against

ing points were ruled. 1. Tlio Plaintiff hav
ing shewn the admissions oftho Defendants,
that they wore jointly interesting in tho gam
bling concern, a joint liability is sufficiently
mndo out to carry tho case to tlio Jury. 2.
The law allows no set q/f in illegal transac
tions. If this were a case of mutual contract
the case would ho different, but tho payment
of money in one illicit act, cannot bo made
u st t q(f against a claim for money lost iu
another. The policy oftho law is to sup
press all such transactions. 5. Where mo
ney linn passed into the Defendants Jiuml.s
mala fide by the hands of an agent, tho own-
can recover it. In England the gambling
loser connot recover it; m Georgia ho etui.
In the case before the Court tho roul owner
sues. The Court added, that where purtics
are equally concerned in n. transaction it is
not necessary to enquire how far each receiv
ed the proceeds. Each is liable for the whole.

that there are others which may he returned

The charitable from nl) purls of our State and our sin

Fancy Articles ever produced lit any Fair. The most
of these articles we wish to he understood, aro the pro-

past summer in tliis work of charily—mid wo hope they
uavo not labored in vain.
Formerly this institution was supported by contribu
tions at tho Churches, which proved precarious and dis
agreeable to tho Ladies. They therefore adopted this
mode of lioldiuaa Fair annually, for thu support of Fe
male Orphan Children, who, without such aid must lie
cast friendless on tlio world—and ns they wore forced to
try every means in their pmvur, they resorted tu this mode
iu prcfercueo to any other.

purpose, another empoweringthe Bank Com
mittee! to investigate. Nothing, however,
would satisfy tho friends of this imprudent
measure. Mr. Hufftld mentioned tlio unfavor
able reports abroad respecting the disposition
of money. Mr. Hepburn stated reports tit at
Baldwin County had received $00,000 of its
funds. Mr. Shorter tnontionod a report in
circulation that $00,000 or upwards ot specie
had boon removed to the Bank of Columbus.
Neither of these gentlemen, however, wore iu
favor of the original resolution. Mr. Dough
erty depreciated the evident disposition to
legislate too much with tho affairs of an insti
tution in which tho interest and prosperity of
the State were involved verifying his predic
tions when ho opposed tho charter, and chal
lenged gentlemen to name the authors of the
reports mentioned. Iu the course of the dis-
ettssion, tho utmost confidence was expressed
in the ability and integrity of the Directors.
Mr. Hudson stated t)int the Bank Commit
too were arduously engaged in tho investiga
tion of its affairs, uml hoped to lay a full and
satisfactory report before tho House, on Sat

Charleston, Dec. 14. \
Cotton.-—'Tho receipts of Upland Cotton,
during tlio week, wore large, and the demand
not. being equal to tho supply, moro was stor
ed than iu any other week since thu season
oponed, and a decline of about J cent in all
qualities was submitted to. Wo now quote
0 a 9j for middling to common-prime; at tlio
latter price selections of good lots are freely
given ; there wero two or threo very inferior
parcels sold at something below 9 cents; very
choice lots favourite murks, were sold at 10
cents, and one small purccl, very superior,
brought 10-J cents. Tlio generality of the
new crop is so good, that selections'from
common lots yield very lino Cotton, and have
caused much of that of large planters and fa
vourite brands, to be stored. In long staple
Cotton there wero but few sales, generally
within our quotations; one or two parcels fine
Seu. Islands, we understand, wore sold at 53
cents.
Rice.—The receipts - of this article were
fair and tho demand moderate. Primo was
most in request and fully sustained old rates,
$2J a 5 ; Middling and common qualities
were more neglected and declined about an l
although wo heard of no sales of inferior, that
is merchantable,' below old rates which wo
continuo, viz. 2| a 2| for inferior to good, and
2J a 5 for prime.
Groceries—Tho business in Groceries was
modorato, and is expected to continuo so un
til the holy days.
Freights—To Liverpool nml Glasgow, .10.;
to Havre, 1 cent per ll*. for Cotton.
