All parties seem to a- grt-e that something should be done for the Institution. All seem to agree that reform is necessary. From this state of feeling surely something good will result. Tnosc un der whose exclusive management the College has so long been, have yielded to the iinpube of public opinion, and :re willing to adopt such measures as will place- the Coi- hge on the footing of public confidence. We sincerely hope that the Clark party will shew tht ir magnanimity on this occasion; On them no 1 --' depends, iii a great meas- pcnerit nation or government, they have ceased to be so, since the extension of our law# over them, because two separate and independent Governments cannot exist at the same time within the same teiritoriai limits, the’ one claiming jurisdiction over a part, and the other over the whole—And this view of the subject i# supported by the (Course pursued fey the Prcsidcntand Congress of the United Stales. Hy the net of Congress passed at ifs last session, enti tled “An Act to provide for the removal of the Indian tr. ies within any of the Slates and Territories, and for their ptrmiinent settlement West ot the River Missippi,” the President is uuthorised'to exchange lauds beyond the Mississippi, with aiiy tube of Indians, or any individuals thereof now residing within the limits of airy State; and also, to purchase from siren individuals, any valuable im- provcmtnls which they may * avc. This llte President has •lone in several instances, and bafc nidified to the authori ties of Georgia, tb it such lands so obtained by exchange, and by purchase of improvements from the Cherokee In dians. are mnV at the disposal of this State. So far therefore, as your CommiUtee can collect the opinion of the Federal Government from this law, and the practrice of the President under it, it would seeu. to them that the General Government did not consider the Cherokee tribe of Indians in lire light of a Nation, Siatr, or sovereign couur.ui.ity, but a3 individuals located on tjie soil of Geor gia, with the right of occupancy only. Y*ur Committee, vox thc Funui vkiok. That some of the worshippers of G.-vernar Troup in ibis State should defend the doctrines promulgated by him in bis letter of ad rice to the disnuioniats of South Carolina was certainly to be expected. But it i« really too barefaced in then: to deny hia having expressed those santiinuits. The doctrines of the South Carolina Nu’.Ii- fiers are precisely those which Troup has contended for during the last six years, and are exactly such as were advocated by the Hartford Convention *nd Governor Strong of Massachusetts, which attached to theiua weight of odi um by which they were sunk to the lowest depth of polit ical deg: Nation. Senator Smith, the evolved advocate of Troup, was the first man who advanced them in South Carolina, and having felt the public pulse, had sagacity enough to discover Iba t they could not succeed, &. there fore abandoned tlicm to tneir present defenders in that State. These hire sics were claimed tor Troop by the Georgia Journal and Soi them Recorder; which last how ever found it convenient subsequently to nullify its form- ir declarations. It is strange that many r.bu execratid these abominable heresies, when advanced by the Here ford Convention, lyid Eastern Federalist Malcontents, have yet received tlicm graciously when reiterated by Troup and a few others “ who are tu the stcrel ” Fla gitious as were the designs and tenets of that body, they sink into burutlcssuess when placed along sidp of Coop er’s and Troup’s new version offrhq same text, The NOTICE. fiHUF, subscriber now off rs his LAN9S and PLAN.

Jn our last paper, we published entire the resolutions ^offered in the Senate by Mr. V\ m.d, yf McIntosh, on tire •nsis of our State and national • fl.iirs. ’ T liese re.-olistious strike at the very root of nullification, and those doctrines j * enenries of leamm, beep opposed men?, Ires hern heretofore perfectly jus was no principlehy which they were bound to administer to their own destruction. But things are itovv changing, and lit thrra also cease their opposition—nay, let them go in for the College i;pon Republican principles. We know them to be an honest set of fellows. VVe know that they hive been slandered when they have been c-illtd the enemies of science. They -have now an oppor tunity of-hewing the falsehood oftlie imputatimis cast out against them on this suljact. VVe bOpc tii.it they will not confirm ’ll ' slanders of their opponents—but that they will have the honor, irs they have the power, of reform teoding to a dismemberment ot tire Union. Many have j ing the abuses of the College—placing themselves ab ave atf eted to think ii strange that we should have identified suspicion—establishing the chaweter they .have always the doctrints of the leaders cf the Troup party with “lb« South Carolina doctrines.” it has b .cn thought “pass ing strange” that we should have seen in Governor Troup’s letter to the Nulli tiers of Columbia any thing in soppott lf these doctrines.

The expression in the Constitution of the U. ,States, “and with thc Indian tribes,” must have been intended to apply to such Indian tribes on the continent of North A- meiica or elsewhere, as were udt included within the lim its of any of the several States of the Union, because un der any other construction, it would have no application, or such an one as would come in direct collision with the soveieign right of jurisdiction in the States, and with that part of Ihe grant of power whiih authorises the General Government to regulate commerce among the several trenches, but they will out be able to resist site cessfilly tlie invaders of her rights.”—We know no test ruorc certain of the unsoundness of any doctrines than that they can That “a powor which can take away or impair a right of properly in a State, and at its discretion set bounds to its jurisdiction, exists in the General Governrumt,” live only amidst the inflammation cf the pussiores.

And they would furlhei recommend that provision be also made for disposing of tlie said territory to the citizens of the State by lottery, as soon as the same bus been surveyed. And your committee Loping and believing that the Pre sident of the United.States, whose laudable and indefati gable exertions in behalf of the interests of Georgia, de serve and receive the thanks of her peojilc, will be Ena bled, before thc next session of the General Assembly of this State entirely toextinguish the claims of all the Chero kee Indians to the occupancy pf the soil of the State, feel it to be their duty to reciunmend that provision be also made by the present Legislature for-a further survey of the whole country into smnli lots for the purpose Of divid ing the same among the citizens of the <tate by lottery , whenever His Excellency the Govcfoor shall be satisfild that the Indian right of occupancy has bean extinguished, and that this Stale has tlie right according to her Consti tution to take possession, of the soil. Your Committee are aware, that there ace persons in other states, arid perhaps some few in our own, who will disapprove of any course which your committee might re commend, having for its object the pieser vatien of the pro perty, and the tights of this State, in the Cherokee lands, or the extension of the jurisdiction of the Stale over tht Cherokee people. To such persons, your committee have nothing to say, and offer no reasons for the measures’they recommend, because such men’are thc deluded victims of an inveterate prejudice, which no argument cm remove afod which reason can never successfully combat Bui there may be some both here and elsewhere, who from tlie ..ant cf knowledge in regard to our Indian relations, and under the influence of the purest motives, believe that this State hks.no right to survey the country, or to extend her laws over the people; and to such your ■ Committee lee! it to be their duty, as it i» also their pleasure to de clare Die causes, which in their view of ihe subject, not oulyjustify, but imperiously call for the course proposed to be adopted.

British emissaries had not found their way into offices rY trust; they were not found at the head of our liletary semina ries, vitiating tlie fountain of truth, and sowing those seeds from .- hich was expected to spring up a plentiful harvest of discord and corruption. The hallowed tie of friendship then hound every section of our happy country 111 the “ bunti of unity.” . The denjftn of ambition had tak en possession of but one bosom-andxdl hastened to disarm that one of his power to do mischief. Tire enemies of American liberty, tutored into prudenc * by bis failure, .have gone more systematically to work. Presses’have been established, & the doctrines which have been consign ed to the deepest recess of iufe-ny, are dealt out to the people as “seund republican doctrines!’* They are gravely told, in effect, that in 'cptndtnce and happiness are to be found in their extinction as a nation, nod un der the protection cf the British Government! How will the tule be credited abroad—what wiil the sons of those who fought ami bled, and conquered, to deliver our favored land f. oin the grip of British lyranoj, say when told that it bus been- staled spun the floor of the Senate cl imber of Goor^ui, by an honorable Senator, that he hud been informed, under cireuruslances, which impressed him with the bolief of its truth, that a report .was. iu .cir culation of an agent having, irien sent from a neighbour ing Stale lo ascertain if tlie counn'iuuer of Ihe British Squadron on the Hist India station,' would co-operate with Suuth Carolina, in Ihcivtnt of her seceding from the Union! Is this .1 couliruntiioa of Judge Johusoo’s 7th -proposition, or is it not ? Was every drop of .patriotic blood shed in the Revolution that severed our British chains, or has it since become extinct, dh&t wc should now voluntarily kneel to receive the same riiaekies our fathers rent asunder at the price uf their precious blood?— Is it nut time that the people of Georgia, and indeed of the whole South, should awake to the real designs of those who would carry them back to thc condition of “V’gloni- al Vassalage,” and blot out the glorious deeds of their ancestors, thc blood shed by th» in, and tbe legacy they bequeathed as “unholy things?” That the doctrines of Troup, his coadjutors of South Carolina, and of the Hartford Convention, are the same, must be admitted by all who aye conversant with the lead- ! I' g traits of them. They were hatched up for the ex- j press purpose of embarrassing the operations of thc Gen eral Government, and to effect a dissolution oT the Amer ican Confederacy. Such being their inevitable tendency, who can be so fur gene in credulity as to believe that man’s assertion, that, “he would lay «lowh his life to pre serve tbe Union a single day?” The Union would not— could not. exist a day, yea not an hour, if these doctrines were acted upon. The resolutions introduced into the Senate, by Major Wood, of McIntosh,, are peculiarly proper at this time.— The violence of certain dis;;ff ctecf imiivitluals in Carolina, lias been encouraged by tiie belief that they would be airi- cd by a party in Georgia. Possibly expectations of this kind havt been designedly excitidby some “who art in the secret ” It is therefore due to truth that they should lie undeceived ; and it is likewise important that the people of Georgia should know who it is among them that are willing “to sow the seeds of disunion, and introduc%lbe baneful doctrines of Nullification.” It could scarcely have b<en anticipated, that resolutions so reasonable iu , themselves,‘and so patriotic m design, shoo id have met with opposition, much less that their supporters should have received contumely and insult, in the place of co-op eration. No man having at heart the honor, dignity and peace of tbe Slate, and prizing the harmony that should characterize the deliberations ot their representatives in the Generul Assembly, could have failed to witness with- outemotions of regret, disgust, & indignation, the manner* •n which certain senators attached to the Troop party exer- ted themselves to thwart the object nf thc resolutions, to cumber them with ridiculous amendments, &, substitute omi- , ter not ohly wholly foreign, but directly repugnant, to their intent and spirit, and in doing so completely identified 1 ru;inselves with thc Nuilifiers, to whom they profess to kc opposed. One individual with less-tliscretion than zeal, charged the advocates of Wood’s resolutions with having “voted down the principles of the Revolution,” be cause with much propriety they rejected a substitute offer hy himself. To say nothing of the extreme modesty of the gent it-nian thus constituting his opinions the standard-of political orthodoxy* it was iusulting the go-id sense and patriotism of the majority who suppoi ted those resolutions from a conviction that they embodied the true spirit aud sentiments which actuated those 1 who accomplished that glorious revolution; and for tbe express- purpose of put ting down principles hostile to the Government that re sulted from its success. Among those included in this sweeping denunciati on, were men who had proved ’ their devotion to their country in a manner less equivocal than opposing resolutions reprobating tbe doctrines of the Hartford Convention. Tliey had. met and conquered their country’s foes—their blood had crimsoned the bat tle field—They knew the value of tbe Government for whose preservation it bad been shed, and were determin ed. to follow the last words of Washington'and “frown in dignantly upon every attempt” to impair its value ia tlie eyes of the people, and diminish their-attachment to it!— This they are determined to da in despite of the sneers cf the parasite, the opposition of domestic enemies, and the awkward wituf mushroom politicians. Tbe people of Geor gia too have been instructed where to Aod their country’s friends in the time of trial—Tlvey have received & useful le&son. The votes given upon Wood’s resolutions fur nish information that will not soon be forgotten. Tlie “principles of ihe Revolution” are cherished by them, amt ihey now know those of Cooper and Ti.ovp to Ik hostile' to the objects of their veneration. FRANKLIN. Adiiiinifitrator’s Sale.
