J the people peaceably to assemble and peti tion the government for a redress of grievan ces. This is plain—it is just—it is rcasonn- ble—it * 3 in strict accordance with the doc trine that the nets of the government aro in tended for the benefit of the people, and that the lat'er possess tho right to instruct their representatives in what manner they may bp benefited by legislation; and whether their true interests will be advanced or injured bv contemplated measures—lot this privilege, af such inestimable value to the poop!o°of' America, has been in effect denied to them, by the delegation from Georgia ! ! In tho intem perate pursuit of one unlawful project,they have been compelled virtually to assert, that to me morialize Congress, i$ in the language of Mr. Lumpkin, “ an impertinent intermeddling with other people’s business !!” and thus in fact to resist a lugal act of the sovereign power. If Mr. Lumpkin as here slated is among those who deny to Ike " people the right of memorializing Con- gross;” is he more entitled >o Iheir confidence and sup port than Mr. Gilmer, both of whom, according to the reasoning of some editors, have joined the “ aristocra cy,” in their opposition to the rights of the. same "dear people.” “ Let us pause for n moment, and examine n few of their remarks : l will first dispose of Mr. Lumpkin's “ mildest terms,” to wit: he “‘considered it” (the memorial) " an imperti nent intermeddling with other people’s busi ness”—This remark has precisely the sume tidiculous effect ns if, upon the arraignment of a robber nf the liar of justice, after the reading of tho indictment by the clerk, tho culprit should by way of answer or plea, assort that he considered the whole proceeding against him as “ impertinent intermeddling with other people’s business !!!! for no one can doubt that he would greatly prefer to escape the pun ishment likely to be inflicted by this “ imper tinent intermeddling” of the olfivers of justice —If Mr. Lumpkin had been disposed to ad mil “ the right of the people nt all times pea ceably to assemble and petition Congress lor n redress of grievances,” ho eould not have permitted such indecorous and inconsistent language to escape him.” “ Let us hear no more cant about the ene mies of Georgia—those are her real enemies who seek to brand her fair famo witli ignomi nious seproach. Those are her enemies who unceasingly promulgate tirndcs to stimulate tho avaricious part of her population to rapine and plunder—who would, to sustain a despc rale partizan chief, convert a highminded though misguided portion nf her citizens, into bandits, and the “ chartered limits" of Georgia into a den of unprincipled robbers. -<®>- ' It has been intimated to us by a friend of Mr. Gums, of Jackson county, that in a review published in this paper of February 1st, of the vote given by the dark and Troup parties, upon the question of Convention and Reduction, wc had conveyed to the public an im pression tending to the injury of Mr. Burns, not war ranted Hy his uniform devotion to the subject of reduc tion. It was stated to us that Mr Burns was the ori ginal mover of the bill referring the question of reduc tion to the people—that that reference, and tho will of tho people as subsequently expressed hy their vote, fmposed upon the members of the legislature and upon Mr. Burns individually, an obligation to effect and car ry into operation the proposed change in our system of representation—that the representatives of those counties, the people of which had declared themselves friendly to reduction, could not in good faith answer to their constituents, without first nitempling to obey their instructions. It was further staled, that as tho question of convention was first acted on, though not the first proposed or the first in order, Mr. Bnrnscon- •idered himself bound injustice to his constituents, to oppose every plan of a reduction nt the members by convention, until satisfied that the same could not be cfleeted hy the legislature. These views so far as Mr. Burns is individually con cerned, wc aro certainly disposed to consider satis factory; it was not less theduty of Mr. Burns, than of the other members of the house, to evince at least a disposition to comply with the demands of the people, although this demand involved an impossibility. This by others is assigned ns a reason for their opposition to a convention, yet no clfort was modo after the failure ofthc bill fur reduction, to reconsider the bill authoris ing the call of a convention. We confess that in our view, just cause of complaint exists against those who deny to the people the right of expressing their opinion for or against convention, after being convinced that tho proposed reduction is etherwiso impracticable. Repeated efforts have been made by tho legislature to reduce its own members—repealed fuilurcs have been the consequence. The name of Mr. Burns is found re corded in opposition to a convention both in 1629, and 1830, in conjunction with those of others of the same party, through whose opposition this measure has for two years past been defeated. If in this statement, which we injustice to Mr. Burns have been requested to make, any error of facts should exist, our columns arc open for any correction which tnny be deemed ne cessary. heiiatoru in Congress bo instructed, and our to be disposed of, even as high as 12 cents tier Representatives requested, to use tltcir exur- acre, on first rale low grounds, and to cents ver lions to Itavo the Indians within our limits, ■ acre on first rate oah and hickory upland P entoved With the least posstblo delay, and This tax would have amounted i„ $24 and mat to (Ins end, they endeavour to procure 1 30 cents annually on cverv trac of 202 1.” the passage of a law whicli shall treat these tribes as dependants, as they in fact are.” Mr. Burnside offered tho following as a substitute thereto : Resolved, T.hat our Senators in Congress ho instructed, and our Representatives re- quested, to urge upon the government of the showing the inconsistency of those who acres, first quality low grounds, and $20 25 on every tract of first quality oak and hickory land.

It proves the truth of an old aphorism, that times change and men change with them.” “The editors of the Federal Union aro now very loud about the union and rights of the State, and about tho distribution of the Cherokee land among the people without re servations. Wo will remind one of the Edi tors, that he was a member of the legislature in 1825, and that his vote is recorded on ques- lions of great interest to the State, because in volving essential rights. And on what side was the vote of Mr. Polhill to lie found. Let tho render jmdgc for himself; we shall merely give a transcript from the journals, with a few short notes. Wednesday, December 21, 1925.—The re port of the joint committeo on tho state of the republic, was taken up by paragraphs. The following paragraph in said report being read : Your committee then will not withhold the recommendation that in furtherance of the in- tercsis of the Indians themselves, and in con formity with tbo rights of Georgia, that our der ision of the legislature, (hat the tribes ofln- dians, located within the limits of Georgia, are dependants, and aro not free and independent of the government of the State.] The following resolution being read : Resolved, That full reliance is and ought to be placed in llic treaty lately concluded be tween (lie United States for the use of Geor gia and the Creek nation oflndinns at the Ind- un Springs—thut the title of the territory oh- Inincd by snid Ireoty within tho limits ofGeor- gia is considered as an absolulo vested inter est, and that nothing short of the whole terri tory thus acquired will ho snlisfaetorv, and that the right of entry immediately upon tho expiration of the time limited in the treaty, he insisted on and accordingly carried into effect. [JVo/e. This resolution involved the validi ty of tho old treaty, and tho authority which the government of Georgia possessed to sur vey the land hy that treat)'. IIow did Mr. Polhill vote?] On motion to agree, the yeas wero 67, navs 23—Mr. Polhill among the nays. Mr. Turner then offered the following as an addition to said resolution : And he it further Resolved, That tiie right of entry aforesaid be enrried into effect hy nil proper means within tho control of the State. On motion to ngroo, the yeas wero 63, nays 22—Mr. Polhill among the nays. On Hie final passage of tho report and reso lutions, the yeas were 67, nays 22—Mr. Pol hill nmong the nays. [Mr. Polhill carried his opposition to this report and resolutions so fur, that on the mo tion of Mr. Turner, that the Clerk ho directed to inform the Semite forth with of their concur rence in said report, he voted against it: Yeas 55, Nays 25. The National Intelligencer in noticing the proceed, iocs of the Free Trade meeting held in this place on the 4th alt. thus expresses itself upon a subject involving tho vital interests of Ihc south. Wo wish to direct the attention of our readers to the proceedings nf a meeting, con sisting of the lending citizens r.f the State of Georgia, for appointing Delegates to the meet ing about to be held at Philadelphia, for the adoption nf measures for procuring a modifi cation of the tnriff of impost duties. It will be seen with pleasure, that the Delegates ap pointed at that meeting, are instructed to ah- slain from the consideration of any measures going to impair the authority nf the General Government. The meeting questions the constitutionality of the tnriffluws, but repudi ates every suggestion to a resistance (or nul lification) of them. This is tho true ground for those who entertain the opinions of the tariff which aro avowed by those who compo sed thut meeting.” The Macon Advertiser of the 30lli ult. gives the fol lowing information. It will be seen by the proceedingi on that occasion, who are Iho friends, and who tho one. mica of tho Tariff.—Who the advocates of lliis 11 consli tutional" yet “ unjust and oppressive” system of legis lation. It isvnin for our political enemies to contend for an opposition to Iho principles of this system, while every effort to effect its modification or repeal is op posed. “ Be it then further Resolved. That it is im portant that the Stnlo of Georgia should be represented in said Convention, and that we highly approve of the Delegates nominated nt the late meetings in Athens and Snvannnh. Tlicso resolutions gnvo rise to n very spirit ed affair of outposts, in which Henry G. and John Lamar, Thomas Campbell, Christopher B. Strong, and W. Poe, displayed much abili ty in the advocacy of the measure. These gentlemen were opposed in a very ingenious manner, hy C. B. Cole, J. B. W ick, and J. G. Polhill, (of Milledgeville.) There wasa great deal nf shnrp shooting on both sides. Thu debnte was protracted until about candle light, when the previous question was called for, which resulted ill an overwhelming ma jority for tho Resolutions. There wero about 150 persons present—and when tho final vote was taken hut four indistinct muttering* of JYay—JYoi/—.Yai/—JWijf—caught our ear.— We may tako occasion to notice this subject hereafter, and injustice to gontlemen give their reasons for opposition, accompanied by a lit tle commentary.” From tho Georgia Journal. Mr. Lumpkin.—We have been called on from several quarters, for an account of Mr. Lumpkin’s course in tho Legislature of Geor gia, in the year 1806, when nn act w as passed to dispose of certuin lands obtained from the Creek Indians. To satisfy these enquiries, we have collected the following facts front the Journal of the House. Three facts are established by these ex tracts. 1st. That J\Ir. Lumpkin was in Jator of targe reserves, nen to every twentieth tract be sides the Fractions. 2d. That he teas in favor of tf high price on grants. 3d. That lie was in favor of a high annual cd. .Ynlhing is reserved by it h u l the fraction al tots under 100 acres■ -2nd there is no pro bability that the subject of re<cn'ei of mines will be touched again in the Legislature. That matter is now settled. Why then agitate it ngnin, unless it ho to produce an excitement on a subject already settled. At a session of the Legislature in tho year 1806, Mr. Wilson Lumpkin took his sent, us a member of the House of Representatives from Oglethorpe, on the 16th of June. Oil the 17th, tho House wont into commit tee of the whole on the hill to dispose of iinj distribute the late cession of lands obtained from the Creek Indians hy Henry Dearborn. Secretary of War. being specially authorized therefore, by the President of the U. States, in a treaty concluded ut the City of Washing ton on tho 4th Novombor, 1805. Mr. Whitaker reported tho bill to the Honso from tho committee of the whole, with amend ments, which roport was taken up hy para, graphs. Mr. Crawford moved to amend the report by inserting alter tho word “ boundary,” in the 4th section, “ together with one twentieth tract in eacli district.” [The 4lh section sola apart tho fractional parts of surveys for the redemption of the pub lic debt. Tho motion was therefore to re serve one twentieth trnet in each district, in addition to the fractions.] The motion was rejected, yeas 18, nnys 35 —Mr. Lumpkin voted for it. Mr. Flournoy then moved to amend by in serting “ together with one thirtieth tract in each district.” Rejected, yeas 18, nays 35. Mr. Lump kin voted for it. Mr. Bibli then moved to nmend by insert ing every fortieth tract in each district.” Rejected, yens 17, nuys 36. Mr. Lump kin voted for it. Mr. Bibb moved to nmend so much of the report as includes the fortunate drawors in the State land lottery from a participation of the lands obtained by inaerting “except those who have not and stiuli not take out a grant or grants for the same.” Rejected, yeas 10, nays 43. Mr. Lump kin voted for it. Mr. Wolsber then moved the following pro viso—“ And provided no person seized or pos sessed, in his or her own right, of 500 acres nf land or upwards in fco simple shall bo on- titled to a draw.” Rejected, veus 6, nnys 48. Mr. Lumpkin voted against it. It was then moved to strike out 61 cents, and insert 121 as tho compensation for receiv. ing oneh draw—yens 25, nays 26--.Mr. Lump kin voted in the negative. It was then moved to strike out “ six del- lars per 100 acres,” as the sum to lie pnid by the fortunate druwer on rereiving his grant nnd insert tho sum of “ five dollars per 100 acres.” Rejected, yeas 20, nays 32. Mr. Lumpkin voted against striking out. Mr. flail then moved the following enacted clause “ Thut for the purpose nf discharging the debts due hy this Slate, and tho rumple (ion of our public buildings ihero shall annual ly lie leviefKrelloctcd and pnid Into tho trciisu ry of this Slutc, nn all Inuda beyond tho tem porary boundary line and lire Creek nation of Indians, as expressed and delineated bv the treaty entered into nt or near Fort Wilkin son, and comprehended hy the treaty made on the 14th day of Nov. 1805, except tho fine tional parts of surveys nf land reserved for sale, tho following sums of money, that is to sav; on all low grounds of the first qunlily 12 cents per acre ; of the 2d quality 5 cents per acre, and nf tire 3d quality 2 cents per acre ; On nil onk ntidliirkory lands nf the first quality, 10 rents per acre, of the 2d quail.

Mr. Lumpkin voted lor it. The bill finally passed on the ISth of June, yens 46, navs 8. Mr. Lumpkin voted for its passage. The War.—The skirmishing is carried oil with considerable activity on all sides ; tho Gilmer forces are in high spirits, nnd will pro bably succeed in the main battlo lo be fought early next mouth with the Lumpkin cohorts. Tho Haynes troop is also in the field with co lors flying, but wc regret to see that they are ever and anon interchanging volleya with tire Gilmerites. Whnt is tho meaning of this ? They aro both fighting under tho Crawford and Troup banners, and why they should lev el their pieces at each other, when assembled in face of u common enemy, is to us surpri minent dangc* awaiting them both should tho I Lumpkin arms succeed.
