TIIE J AUNDICE.
Mr. Shaw.—The unusual visitation of this
disease upon our citizens, has induced a few
reflections oil the subject, which I would lake
the liberty to eoininunieate through the me
dium of your paper.
Without professing myselfnn adept in the
pathology of diseases, I tv ill venture tin opinion
which I think can he established to the sn'is-
fuelion of any one who has lived long enough
to have been sick. The reputation which this
lilttee has alwnys maintained for health, is pro
vnrbinl, and is known to tho most distant part
ofthe state, antj should we ever have one sea
son of malignant disease, it will require years
of nfter-heiillhftilness to re-establish the cha
racter which it now so deservedly sustains.
With n view to the prevention of this misfor
tune and others, which would necessarily fol
low, of greater importance, I have, undertaken
KVeall the attention of my Fellow Citizens to
a subject, which seems pregnant with evil.
It is common with some persons to antici
pate evil, mid I think it u valuable disposition
implanted in us by u wise Creator—the appre
hension of danger, is the shield of safety. We
know tlmt for every effect, there must he a
cause; this disease has been entirely confined
to this plnre, and its exciting cattso must he
here, llut how shall we find it. and by what
nnmo shall we designate it ! Is it, as some
E.rriosslv suppose, because we have encoura
ged the beef market ns usual ? or because our
citizens have become too indolent to assemble
their lazv selves as customary in Graham’s pi
azza ? or should we more reasonably oon-
lude, that it is a visitation from Providence
for our hostility to the Tariff 1 .
This disease subjects us to tho merriment
of our friends, more than any other perhaps
with which wo can lie afflicted, and its causes
and effects ate hut lightly considered, and per
haps ns little dreaded.
Hut if wo consider hutv closely connected
it is will, the bilious fever, and the bilious with
the yellow fever, and tlmt tho same cause in
a direct ratio can produce cither, we shull be
unstrained In give it a more serious consi
deration. So fat ns my research and observa
tion have gone. I ran discover no local dn-
nngeinent or alteration in our village that
would serin toendienfc nn unfavourable in
fluence on tho health of the plnre, exrcpt the
construction of a viill-ilam which has been
raised considerably higher than tho former one.
It is a fact known to every one that the mias
ma evolved from mill-ponds, does occasion the
bilious fever, and the Jaundice is hut a milder
type nf this disease. In fact, tho two first
cases flint orcurn d, were nttended with con
siderable fever, and might properly have been
called the “ Hilious Fever.”
Tho river during the summer was low, and
has continued so until the present, and the
mud banks being »xposotl to the nction ofthe
sun. facilitated decomposition, and from the
sluggish motion of the water, impregnated our
ntmosphero with such a quantity of deleterious
exhalation as to produce the epidemic of
which we complain. Had lire river continued
full, the rapidity of the current might perhaps
have so yvidely diffused the miasma, as to tmvo
provcnled any evil consequences. Hut al
though the effects produced have not been suf
ficient to excite nnv considerable alarm, may
we not apprehend tlmt the decomposition
which is going on may be so much augmented,
us to produce consequences tenfold more se
rious at some future period I
Let the cause remain, and wc may yet roc
our College deserted, and our ritizens flying
every summer to the mountains lor health. As
no attempt to remedy this evil, 1 would sug
gest that a memorial oftltu citizens he present
ed to the Legislature (for the state is deeply
interested here) for an appropriation to pur
chase tho privilege of the proprietor of this
mill, and let the darn he broke.

vernincut created by those Chiefs, is still per
sisted in, nor is there any indication that a i
change is contemplated. In this State it is
well known, that, without a change of policy
tho Government of the United States cannot
by a contract with their Government remove
the Chcrokees. The rulers of that Tribe, who
have since tho yenr ISIS systematically devo'
ted themselves to defeat any attempt to pur
chase out tlicir permitted occupation of our
lands, have as a last resort ndopted a Consti
tutional form of Government. By this in
strument the annuity paid to the Tribe by the
United States, and all the rights and privileges
of tho individual Chcrokees are controlled—a
Government professing to he independent, is
set up in defiance of the authority ofthe Slates
of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North
Carolina, upon the territory and within the
jurisdiction of those Slates. The Chcrokees
have been indeed tardily informed by the Chief
Magistrate ofthe Union, that this attempt will
not make any change in tho relation in which
they stand to the United States. The new
Government however continues unmolested
to exercise its power, and seeks to strengthen
itsolfhy conferring citizenship or denizenship
upon such white mochanicks as choose to in
corporate* with them. Here, within our own
territory, upon tho land forming a part of our
sovereign property, is fl Government exer
cising authority independent of ours, and dena
tionalizing our citizens in order to strengthen
itself in its opposition to our wilt. This state
of things cannot be endured. If'lho United
Stales are unable, acting on the po'licy to
which alone thoy choose to ndhere, to Induce
the Chcrokees tn remove, and unwilling to v.in-
dicnle our right over the persons and territory'
within our sovereignty, ill the only practicable
mode, our duty to the people and to posterity
requires that wo should act. Of the right of
the General Assembly to legislate over all per
sons and all things within our territorial limits,
on general principles, a doubt cannot bo enter
tained. Is thero any tiling in our Constitu
tion—in the Federal CoSpnct to which wo
EXTRACTS FROM THE OOVERNOR’S SPEECH.
“ It would have afforded mo the liveliest sa
tisfaction to have been able to felicitate you
on the nrrungement of those questions nf in
terest pending nt the adjournment of tho last
General Assembly. They remain stiff unde
cided, and must lie the subjects nf your deli
beration under the changes that have been
produced since that period. The line of do-
mnrkutiun between this stnte and Florida lias
not been traced, nor has the act of Congress,
tinder a particular provision of which the exe
cution of tho work, in conjunction with the U-
nited States, was suspended, been repealed or
modified.”
w * * * *
1 Having given tho strongest evidence of
our desire to avoid the ill consequences of
agitating the question before the judicial tribu*
nals, it ia for you to consider w hether it is pro
per to wait tranquilly the decision nf Congress,
or to take, provisionally, measures to ensure a
s e'tdv inve-rgution of our richt. should Con*
grass rqtnsets repeal ar mod ify thftir not sflb-A
are a party—or in our reliffion to the Chero-
kces, inhabitants of this State, which impairs,
in respect to them, our sovereign right ? In
tho State Constitution there is no limitation of
the Legislative power over the Indians within
our territory. In the Federal Compact, sa
cred in our eyes, to the provisions of which we
have ever looked with veneration, and which
we will be the Inst to impair, the only clause
which can be tortured to hear upon tho ques
tion is tlmt which gives to Congress “ tho
power to regulate commerce with tho Indian
Tribes.”
‘•To the Chcrokees within the Slate we owe
protection, and to its they owe obedience. In
no instanco, since tho adoption of the Consti
tution of the l T . States, has the authority of a
Slate exercised over the Indinns within its lim
its boon disputed or disregarded. ThePenob-
scots anil I'assamnquoddis in Massachusetts
and Maine, the Nni rngansetts in Rhode Island,
tho Senecas and Onandagos, &c. in New
York, the Chnptankes and Nnnticokes, in Ma
ryland, the I’amunkies, in Virginia, the Ca-
tawhas, in S. Carolina, the remnantsof various
tribes vet existing in tho old thirteen States,
except North Carolina and Georgia, are
all protected and Governed by State luws.
On wlmt just principle or plausible pretext, can
the right of Georgia to exercise similar power
in regard to the Chcrokees, he resisted ? Be
lieving tlmt our right is undoubted, tlmt the
exercise of our sovereign power is required by
the best interests of (be State, an important
onsidemtion presents itself for oxuminntion.
What disposition is to be made of tho Chero-
kees who reside within the Stnte? To expel
them would he cruel and unjust; to leave
them us mere tenants at will of their present
settlements would bo a reproach to the charac
ter ofthe State; for incorporation, with equali
ty of rights ns a part of our political family,
they nre unfit. Under these reflections, I re
commend to you to extend all ike laws of (he
stale, over the territory lying within our limits
occupied by the Cherokccs—the Indians to
he subject as other persons to the operation of
those laws.—To secure to tho Indians, imme-
dmtely, the enjoyment of all civil rights—To
grant to each Indian family now living in the
Mate, while they continue in it, a sufficient
bodv of hind for their comfortable support
looking to the General Government under the
eoutpat i of 1P02 for the value of the lands thus
grunted, and for all the expenses that may be
incurred by the state in the execution of the
proposed enactments. As nn evidence of re
spectful deference to the United States, and
of our determination to treat with tenderness
the Chcrokees whose fate is to be effected by
these* regulations, I recommend that the ope
ration of the aet be prospective—not to take
effect until the President of the United States
shall have ample time to ascertain whether the
Chcrokees choose to remove for a just equiva
lent, nr to remain and to submit themselves to
the authority ofthe State Government. You will
find in the contract made by the President of
United States and the Arkansas Cherokees,
herewith submitted, a motive lor this delay. I
have been informed by one of our Senators
(Mr. Cobb) that an article in that contract was
msertad fpr the e.xpregs purpose,, and, under
Georgia to remove bevond the Mississippi.anti
that the whole contract, notwithstanding it
contained many highly objectionable features,
was chiefly, if not altogether, nn onr account
approved by the Senate of the United States.

“The condition of the Judiciary requires
your most serious attention. Under the present
arrangement of eight Judges of the Superior
courts, each confined to the Circuit for which
he was elected, supreme in his authority, not
hound bv the decisions of his predecessors or
cnlemporartes, and not always by his own,
while theso will he in their turn disregarded by
his successor, there can be neither uniformity
nor certainty in the laws for the security ofthe
rights of persons or property. It is an awful
reflection that property, life, liberty, and repu
tation, are, with us, dependent upon the deci
sion of n single Judge, uncontrolled and un
controllable within his Circuit, and not always
distinguished for ability, intelligence and in
tegrity. The confusion produced by cotoni
porary contradictory decisions, every day in
creases—property is held and recovered in
one part, and lost in another part of the state
under like circumstances—rights are asserted
and maintained in one Circuit and denied in
another, in analogous cases.—So much do
pends upon the opinion of a presiding Judge,
that suits are matters of speculation and ma
nagement. The most astute lawyer, scrnptt
lously conscientious in the advice given to his
clients on cases submitted to him, can only in
form them, what will be the result if actions
are brought and derided during the term of
the then presiding Judge. Soils are brought
or postponed ; pressed to trial, suspended, or
delayed by the parties, according to the known
orsupposed opinions ofthe presiding Judge and
the nearness or remoteness of the time when a
new election of Judges must occur. We Itavo
all the complicated judicial machinery for the
correction ofetroneous judgments. Appeal
wnts of error, motions for new trials, and in
arrests of judgment, are used ns if in mockery,
since the appeals urc tried, the writs determin
ed, the motions decided by the same Judge,
whoso erroneous judgment is to he corrected,
arrested or set aside. All the delays of the
English system are permitted, but time only is
gained or lost, unless indeed the presiding
Judge has a mind of extraordinary vigour and
magnanimity, capable of discovering and
prompt to confess its errors, or death or a new
election removes him from his place. The
do.structiou of tho judicial octarchy, by the
substitution ofa sitiglo Supreme Judge, whose
decisions should govern in nil Circuits, would
be an important improvement. If is not ne
cessary to voat such tremendous power in the
hands of an individual. The object to be ac
complished can be obtained bv less dangerous
means. The most sitnplo and obvious reme
dy is the establishment of ft court for the cor
rection of errors, &c.—This remedy cannot,
in my judgment, be applied without a change
in the constitution, which requires that “errors
shall be corrected und new trials determined,
in the Superior court or the county in which
tho action originated.” Under this clause of
the constitution, however, conventions of the
Judges have been required, and in these, pro
perly regulated, n palliative may he found for
the existing disorders, until a radical cure can
ho effected hv an alteration of tho Constitu
tion.”
More Indian Murders.—Wo aro indebted
to the politeness of nn officer at Cantonment
Towson, for the following account ofthe mur
der of two of the soldiers belonging to the
Post, by tho Pawnee Indians, and the subse
quent chastisement, ofthe aggressors. “ The
facts staled (says the writer) are derived from
those concerned, and will agree with the report
ofthe Commanding Officer, who has intimated
his approbation of the statement.”
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on
the smnll detachment of U. S. troops, citizens,
and friendly Indians, for the promptness with
which they turned out to nvetigc the death of
the murdered soldiers ; and the success which
has attended their activity, will, we trust, hnvo
a happy effect in preventing a repetition ofthe
outrage.
“ Cantonment Towson, Sept. S, 1828.
Sir—On tho 31st of August, six soldiers of
this command had a “ pass” to go to the Kia-
mechi, for the purpose of fishing. Corporal
Thomas Glovd and Musician Glens, pre
ceded the party about 30 or 50 yards. At the
distance of six miles from the Post, those who
were in the*rear, heard the report ofa gun, ac
companied with nn Indian yell, and also the
exclamation, “ O God, 1 am killed!” Know
ing that neither Gloyd nor Glenn had a gun,
their followers were convinced that they were
attacked by enemies, but nn intervening knoll
screened them from their sight. They imme
diately returned to Garrison, and on report of
the facts, a command of 20 men wos ordered
out by Major Birch under J.icut. Casey.—
They returned with tho corpses of Gloyd and
Git <m. Tho body of the former was marked
with a ball, and many arrows ; tint of tho lat
ter by arrows only. The alarm was immedi
ately given to the citizens, and friendly Indi
ans encamped in the neighbourhood ef the
Garrison ; and an the foilwing morning, a par
ty of about 40 mounted men, consisting of ci-
tizeus, and friendly Indians, and n detachment
from this Post, pursued the enemy, and on the
4th day returned with the scalps ofthe soldiers
killed, and those of three Indians, also with
tho bows and equipments of liffccn. They
found the Indians encamped about 90 miles
from tho Garrison, near the Bluewater river.
Thoy rushed upon them suddenly, while they
were dancing around the scalps of Gloyd nml
Glenn. They were near a thicket, through
which some escaped, but it is believed not ma
ny without inortul wounds. They were Puw-
nees. The only one of the opposite party
who was injured, wos tfi-coming, n Delaware
Chief, who received ap arrow wound in his
thigh. Hi is now doing well. Ti e redurre

And much credit is due to the citizen*. (.>}
the readiness with which the* vo!unleti*d
their services: and also to Mr. Aldrich, flip Put-
tier, who rode the whole night to muster tl,<*ir,.”
YVe understand, that an official re|irr -* :
tion of the facts relative to the foregoing out-
rage, has been made to the Governor, and t. .it
he immediately issued a General Order o* tim

The Stale House.—The North end of the
State House, now nearly finished, in plain
Gothic style, has a very tine appenranro. when
viewed from Jefferson street. Twenty-two
feet have been added to the length of the Re

YY'c perceive, in onn of tho late Engli.-It
journals, a short paragraph in rflatten to the
prophecies of Daniel, which, if it should ever
he verified, (and the difficulties in which the
Porte is non* involved seems to induce a be
lief that it will,) must effectually prevent, in
figure, all seep(jcis«). with regard to the au
thenticity of the Scriptures. It is stated, that
the ablest commentators on the prophecies of
Daniel and St John, all agree that tho Eas
tern or Muhomedan apostary would last from
its establishment, 1260 years, and thru it.)
downfall and complete destruction commence.
YY'hcn Daniel wrote, it is said, the Jews and
other nations reckoned only 300 days in the*
year; and the ftileralion in tho calendar, ma
king Iho year 3G5 days, did not take pi tco
till between five and six hundred years after
wards. Consequently.Daniel nii.-t hate meant
1260 years of 300 day? each, inasmuch ns he
could have known no other. If this ren maing
he correct, this year, 1829, the prophecy is*
complete; for tho Turkish date fur this year
is 1243. Now the Turks reckon tlicir years
ofthe same length as we do. 365 days. If wo
redueo 1243 years, of 063 days each, inti,
voars of,3G0 days each, we shall find that the
Mahomedan religion has this ) car, lasted 1260
years, witti 95 days over. — Fir. Genius e/'
