1 Ind promised the young 'V isconte dc
I’otd! ms to accompany liimj und, almost as
soon o- 1 had risen, he called In remind me
ol mv t-ugag inenl. M lien we had anived
at (lie II ie des Gross, he looked round with
no anxiety nml uneasiness that surprised me.
Mis i.ee, by turns, became livid and crim-
Min; lie was a prey to home I' tniblo anguish;
iiiul the perspiration started (rum hi-, lute
head, when ha petceived that we had an ived
at the g ite. At the moment we gut out ul
his tilbury, a fiacre enteied the street; the
I ilcou eye of the young man enabled him to
distinguish a female within the carriage, and
then an expression of almost savage joy ani
mator! his countenance. He called ab ty
viho was pis*ing, and desired him to hold
fits horse. VVe mounted the steps ol the ohli
miser; since I had Iclt the house he had
placed a small square grating in the middle
•f the door, and it was not till alter I had|
been recognised that wc were admitted. 1
fsund him seated i.i his arm chair motion-: 1
less as a statue, his eyes fixed upon the man-1
tlepiece, where he seemed reading some:,
memorandums of accounts. A small lamp,I 1
mice g-een but now obscure with smoke and; 1
dirt, threw a lurid glare upon his pale face/ 1
He turned his eye towards me. but did not j J
speak. “Father Gmbeck,” said I, “1 bring
you one of my mist intimate friends.”
“Whom I mistrust as much as the devil *
himself” whispered the old man. “On my f
account you will render him yuur good ol- *
lice at the ordinary price, and you will ex- '
tricate him from a pressing difficulty.” Hie ■
vicomte bowed in confirmation, sealed him- '
self, aid p-epared to hear his answer with
one ol those courtly attitude* of which i' is *
impossible to describe Hie graceful baseness.
Father Gusbeck remained in his chair at the 1
corner of ihe fire unmoved and immoveable. 1
lie resembled he statue ol Voltaire, as i. '
appears at night on entering the vestibule -d
the Theatre Francois. He raised slightly, 1
as byway of sa ulation, the worn ou' gray
casket with which lie covered his head, and
the small portion of yellow skull it exhibit
ed completed his resemblance to the matble.
*‘l have no money, except for my custom
eis,” said the usurer. “You are vex -d then
that I have been to ruin myself with otbeis
besides y lurself,” said the young man,
«miling. “Ruin you !” replied Fere Oos
beck, with u tone of irony. “You would say
that one cannot ruin a man wiio has no capi
tal !” “But 1 defy you to find a man more
capital titan I am,” cried the vicomte, rising
and turning upon his heel. This half scri- 1
ous buffoonary had no effet upon Gosbcck.
c ‘Cao I. with any decency,” said he, “lend
w sous to a man who already owes thirty
thousind francs and docs not possess a dc■ I
flier Besides, you lost ton thousand francs 1
the night before last, at M. Lift te’s ball.”
Sir.rep'ied the young man wi h exquisite
impudence, and a; p> inching as be said it,
■“my ulVaiis do not concern you. He wh
"has time owes nothing for the present.”
“True,” “My bills will be taken up.” Fos
iibiy ” “A.nl at tis moment Ihe business
between Ua is imply t» know if I odor you
sutfi lent secuiiiy f«r (he sum thai I am a
bout to borrow.” “Just so,” The nois--of i
a feicre slopping at the gUe was heard fromj
without. “1 go for a mething ihat wi ' l per
haps satisfy you,” cried the young m-n. He
soon afterwards returned, leading by the
hand a young lady, who appeared Co bi
twenty five or twenty six years old. Sb
was ol remaikuble beauty, and I had no dif
ficulty in recog ii-iog she countess of whom
Gosbeck had f iiniei ly spoken tome. O
entering the damp and somb e c amber ol
the usurer she cast a look of suspicion upon
the vicomte. Toe terrible anguish ol her
heart was evident, and her proud and noble
features had an almost convu.sive expres
sion. I could easily believe my comp nion
had now become the evil genius of her des
tiny. They seemed bith standing before
their judge, who, with a cold and severe
look examined them as an old Dominican
«f the sixteenth century may have watched
the tortures of two Moors in the -dun |
geons of the holy Inquisition. “Sir,” said!
•he, with a trembling voice, “are there!
sny means of obtaining (he price of
these diamonds, (presenting a casket) re
serving to inysell the right to repurchase!
them,” As I vulimteeied to cxpl.iu to
her h »w this might be done, she seemed to
breathe inure freely ; but the vicomte knii
his brow, aware that; with such a condition,
the usurer would advance a less sum upon
them. Gusbeck was absorbed : he had
seized his magnifying glass, and was exam-'
ining the jewels in silence. II I were to
five a hundred years 1 should out forget
the rem, kable picture that his face pre-;
seated ai that moment. A flu h spread over
his pale cheeks; his eyes seemed to spir- 1
kle with supernatur.,l lire ; he rose, went ro
the light and held 'he diamonds near his
toothless mouth, ag if ii e w mjj have de
voured them. File glitter of those beauti
ful gems seamed refl-e ed in his eyes ; he
murmured some vague word*, lif e ,j h tums

the casket to the countess. I again drew r
near her, and whispered. “You will do t

understood my words by the movement of y
my lips, and cast upon me a look in which \
there was-something internal. The face ol s

THE STATE w. ELZA ELAND
During the sitting of the Court for this
D strict last week, this defendant was con
victed of keeping » Farro Bank and playing
a* that game. At Ihe request of the bar, as
well as ,-f mi yci iz.-. os who were presen 1
at the time, we have b-mn furnished by i
Judge Martin, wiih the following address 1
[mad" to the defendant on passing sentence: I
“ You have be n indicted and convicted i
of glining, 1 regret to say the ev.deuce |
was not only indisputable as to yum guilt, (
bu, conclusive as to -he inveterate habits and i
pm suits of y ,ur life. This pernicious vice <
has received then qualified animadversion
-if all wise and good men of every civilized
country. Its consequences to individuals
and to society, have occupied the pen of the
essayist; the tragi® muse has wept over
tnem and they have been themes for ora
tors in the pulpit, in the forum and in the
halls of legislation. They have pourtrayod
1 heir effects from real life, and exhibited
pic u es which were almost if uol entirely
s-ullici--nt t-> iu-luce one to adopt the appar
ently paradoxical proposition that truth is
| sonie'iines more romantic than fiction.”
| “ft is likely tlia' the defects in your edu
cation and Ihe habi's acquired in early file,[
|jhave afforded you but lew opportunities of!
'[becoming familiar with tlu exhibitions to!
| which i have alluded. But the pursuits in
[which you haw been eng g-'d, (ioo long I
fear,) have afforded yon living examples, I.
must believe, of their tiut.— xanqikfe
which, if your conscience has not become
callous, nor your heart insensible have cre-j
a ed impressions which, had they been in-(
dulged would have prompted you to redress!

flicted on your victims. You must have
'(known too, tint in many instances you have
(been not only the vvulii g, but interested in
iStrumeut nl prodmi ig those txatup.es.”

I have been so seriously impressed on lb

i 1 would seem that the coniinued presence o

b-*eu so familiar to the off oiler as to maki
you careless if no! indifferent to its con
sequences. In defiance ut the law you per
petiated this offence, and that 100 almost ai
the door ol justice: but before you shall have
atoned fir it, you will no doubt come to the
conclusion that the severiiy of the act it
more deserving c!’gi~ve consideration than
you have heretofon supposed'”
“ The law allows g ea discretion to the

Court in the punishment it may impose. 1
shall exercise that discretion eety, f>r the
purpose of producing.i salutary efticent, and
with the h pe that it may have a happy in
fluence on you and on all others likely tc
offend in the same way.
“You may, Hi I have no doubt will think
the sentence which I feel hound to pass,
very severe, But it the qiestion be pro
pouodul to the many youths of our country
whose bright and fluttering prospects iu Ide
you, and men ol your habits have forever
blasted—to the u. guarded father from whom
in an unsuspecting moment you hive fitched
the last dollar—lo the lender and affedioo
atc wife whose husband you have driven to
drunkenness and despose families you have
reduced to wretchedness and poverty —to
those affectionate parents whose fondest
hopes have all vanished as you approached
—or to this whole community whom you
have insuited by your profi gacy, I cannot
but bo'ievel should be sustained, riulwi'h
sianding the severity of the sentence which
awai's ym. But to me pers »ually, it is of
no consequence. I have here higo, solemn,
and important do ies to discha.ge, under

those whose servant he is: aud that tiuty I

The defendant was then sen'enced to sia
m nths imprisonment, &. fined five hundred
lollars; and to stand further imprisoned fm

Although the compact of 1802, betweer
the U mod States aud Georgia, is to b>
found in Prince and other Digests of ou
laws, yet, believeing that i. would not bi
unaccep'able to many of our readeis, wt
have this day devoted a portion of our co
luinns to its publication. While referring
to this subject, we avail ourselves of the op
p -rtunity to notice a s ateraent made by the
Cluel Justice in Ins most unfu*tunate argu
meat in the case of Worcester against Geor
•u. It will be recollected that the ques
lion before the C urt was—had Georgia a
j right to extend her ciimiual laws over the
j Cherokee country within her limits, and u
punish a white man, a citizen of the United
States, for the violation of her laws within
the Indian territory? The Chief Justice
says, that “ Various ac s of the Legislature
|of Georgia, including the contract of ses
jsion of 1802, all tend to prove her acquies
cence in the universal conviction dim theii
(the 1 dun) territory was separated from
hat of any Stale within whose chartered
limits they might reside, by a boundary line
established by treaties ; (hit within their
boundary they possess**! rights with which
no Stile could interfere ; and that the
whole power of regulating intercourse with
.them was ves ed in the United States. A
review of these acts on the part of Georgia
lis ihe less necessary because they havt
{hewt accurately detailed iu 'he argument
,at the bar. Her new seriis of laws, nani
ifes'ing her abandonment of these opinions
(apneais to have commenced in December
1828.’’ So much for the Chief Justice
jN w how stands the fact ? On the 23J o
November, 1814, the Legislature pissed at
act, to add all that part of 'he uulocatet
territory of the State, which ies without lh«
limits of 'he present counties to the comity o
Jasper, for the put pose ut giving the courti
jurisdiction of crimes committed by whilt
persons in said territory aod for o.her pur
puses. See Lamar’s Digest, page 218—
which act recites, “ tnai ciimes have bter
commuted within th;j r part of the unloos
ed territory, which is for the present as
signed o the Indians ior their hunting
gr uuds, and as me of the primary objecti
h government is, that the parties composing
* * shall bo protected in their "ijiursons and
property j and as our judiciory’iji deprived
ol doing et her the one or the other, from
want of j ui-nidi in, which jurisdiction can
only be giv n, agreeably to our Congtitu
ion, by adding the same :o one of tlie coun
ies of this State, Be it enacted, Tbe
in act then adds “ all the Indian lands with
in in the chartered limits of the State to the
sv county m Ja»per.”
m Agdri—on the 18>.h Dec. 1819, 1 lie Le
tt' gis'.a ure passed another act (see Lamat’s
n l)ig“st, p.igo 218) to amend the above, by
n- he Id li secii-n of which act, the coun ry
i at present occupied by the Uhcrokees is
c- “ added lo and made a part of the county
lof Franklin and by the lllh section it is
(I provided, that all offences committed with
l- in ilie unlocated teniloiy aforesaid, against
the Stale, or all crimes committed by per
:e sons, citizms ol this S'ate, or of the Uni
i‘. ted States, or against the State or any of its
i- citizens as afotesaid, or within either of the
tg counties aforesaid, or in the territory thus
tejadded to eitheii of said counties, shall be
y tried and punished in the county to which
e. said territory is added and made a part, any
i• law to the contrary notwithstanding.” Here
it then are acts shewing that Georgia exercis
>l ed the same power ol extending her crimin
d al jurisdiction over the Indian territory in
e 1814 aud 1816 which she lias dune in 1828
i- aud subsequently, aod which she now does ;
'• and yet the Chief Justice says that she ac
it quiesced in a contrary course until 1828,
e when ** she appears to have commenced her
e new series of laws ” These acts would
isjscarcely have escaped notice in " a diligent
n search,” and yet they must have passed
; without notice “In me accurate details in
e the argument at me rntr.'* We are indu
lged to b-lieve, and we do so in charity, that
e j the Chief Justice, throughout, the whole
d case, has relied, too much for his own repu
■ [latino upon the *' Mcciyate details in the ar
o gumenl ut the /Jajr. ,, iAs much reliance
I has been placed uptm tire fact that Georgia
k did for so long a tiu&e acViiesce in the Che
‘.[rokces being an iaii|pe(AUat nation, and
■{that (he whole power of*gulatiog inter
y course with them was vested in the United
e jStates, these acts serve to shew that no such
f acquiescence existed. We never heard at
" the lime of the passage of these acts, nor
J,have wa since beard, until lately, that the
■{power of Georgia to extend her criminal
°{iaw* over the Indian territory, as she did
e by these acts of 1814 and 1816, was object
-0 ed to either by the Indians themselves or
tby the United States. If the acquiescence
1 of Georgia from 18U2 to 1814 is evidence
11 that she had no right thus to extend her ju
-1 risdiclion, then the acquiescence of the In
• dtans and of the United States from 1814
b, to 1829 in such extension of her jurisdic
-1 (ion, would be evidence that they admitted
• her right. 1' is a bid rule that will not
r work both ways. The truth is, (hat in
h 1314 and 1816 there was no Gen. Jackson
u or J ickson party to be driven out of power.
lA*o interest to be furthered by crushing
Georgia, then bravely battling in the com
y mini cause. Indian rights and Georgia en
' cioachments were so little heeded, that
these laws passed unnoticed at the time e
r ven by the sickly philanthropy of W irt,

!r A brother Editor for whom we cherish
the best feelings of regard, asks, why we
are so silent on the great claims of the im
prisoned Missionar’es— why we do not lift
n up our voice in behalf of the oppressed and
lr suffering? We might answer him with
1 bat silence which prudence seemed to have
maiked out as our proper course, but as
e here is a point, where forbearance may no
‘ longer be regarded a virtue, we deem it an
P act of sheer justice to some of the most
’ worthy citizens of our country to state, that
' f - the great excitement which has been pro
duced chiefly through the agency of religi
ous papers on a subject involving political
s interests, the efforts (o create and promote
local and section'd prejudices under a go
e vernmeat the must excellent, and in a coun
try where all should be united iu the bounds
d of citizenship, is in our humble opinion, an
'* abuse of the liberty of the Press, which
e cannot be sustained by the precepts of
e Christianity. As a member of the Church
J* of Gud, we have nothing to do with politi
cal feuds, or with those subjects which in-
I volve the mazes and intricacies of national
1 ‘ or state jurisdiction ; but as a citizen and
“ a ciliz n of the South, we have the indefea
e sible right to say, that we believe Georgia
r has all the authority for extending her ju
risdiction over the Cherokee Indians, which
r New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and
‘' other States assumed over the Tribes with-
in their chartered limi's. We do not pro
a fess to be so sapient as to question, or to
e establish the rights of either, but if those
“istates, aud par'icularly New-York, could
‘‘ proscribe the Indian tribes to a pitiful por-
B*.lion 8 *. lion of her soil, we cannot perceive the pro
priety or equity ol the aspersions which
e j, have been thrown upon us. We have the
’* right also to say, that the blood of our fel
” low citizens and the stripes inflicted on
them at the inhuman and mock tribunals of
‘® the Cherokees, have as strong claims up m
sympathy as the sufferings of the sava
t« ?e g—the law which has been denounced as
■ e brutal in the extreme, was designed to cuuu
r ; teract those evils, and if Christians and
“ Christian Ministers were disposed to give a
n preference to the savage code and to exert
'■ their influence in direct hostility to the in
‘ terests of the savage, the interest of the
Sjstate and the wishes of the Chief Magis
»llrate, we believe they have as much right to
g glory in their •• oppression of suffering, ”
as the obstinate and rebellious child has to
glory in the punishment of his crimes. We
II plead not for the chains aud fetters of the!
11 guard, but waiving all claims which Geor-i
'■ gii may or may not have to the right of ju-|
l_ risdictipn, we maintain, that had St. Paul
e indulged such conscientious scruples as
- those profiled by the *' imprisoned Mil
e sionanes,” the glad tiding of th* Gosper
would have been confined to a narrow cora
- pass.—Had Cuke, Judson, Shaw and other*
s evinced the same, fastidiousness, he voice
y of the herald had never been heard in ths
y deserts of Caftraria, under the palm tree*
s of Ceylon, among the Pagodas of India,
y the Mosques of Persia, or the barbarous
s tribes of our own country.
In conclusion we would advise our Bro
t ther Editor to bo sparing with his tears, and
- especially of his words. If he will not b«-
- lieve that there are at least a lew choice
s spirits in the South who are not impervious
> to the calls of human-sufferings, time may
5 yet convince him of the fact.—He has not
• heard or known all that he may yet hear
i and know in relation to the Missionaries,
i and the course of one who fled from the
j sight of his prison house, and since, from the
- path of his Fathers, is enough to convince
• him. that it is possible lor us to misplace our
i confidence.—Should the scene close in blood
> or something worse, let it not be said that
; the Methodist have taken any patt in the
tragedy. As a people, we have nothing to
, Jo with coalitions, political or ecclesiastical.
This is the motto which our fathers be
i queathed us, and when we shall refuse to
t transmit it to our Children, may we cease
i to exist as a people.
