SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, IB30.
Legislative.—The Indian Land BiH has been under
warm debate for several days in the House. Mr. Mc
Donald, of Bibb, has offered a. new substitute to both the
previous Bills. It contains a provision for reservations,
the fuH fee simple value of which are to be paid to Geor
gia by the Government. Wo learn that this substitute is
predicated upon information from Washington. The
prospect for the removal of the common mass of the In
dians appears to be brightening.

system will be found on the first page. Success to them.
Mr. Wirt's Law suit.—The second division of the 3d
section ami 4tharticle as the United States’Constitution
settles Mr. D irVs Cherokee suit In few words. It reads
thus: ...
“ The Congress shall have power to dispose of, and
mike all nectlfol rules and regulations respecting the ter
ritory or other property of the United States; am) noth

that the official conduct of htoorabh: men should he'liable
to such barefaced, misrepresentation? The writer of the
article in question desjgued fosay that the Clark party-vo-.

WOOD’S RESOLUTIONS.
An attentive review of the proceedings' of the Senate
upon these resolutions will shew tliat our views have not
been mere speculations. The several substitutes offered
by gentlemen of the Troup parly verify t*ie preamble, and
foriiish internal evidence of its truth, h will be remein-
bered that Mr. Branham moved to strike out the whole ^f
Hie preamble. The next most important attempt of the
Troup party that we shall notice al this time, is the substi-
■ ute utf red |>y Mr. Da nidi, uf Chatham, to the 2a sec-
lion of the resolutions. The original, it will be recollect
ed, condemned the tariffs of 1824 and ’28 and demanded
tiieir mocilication. Mr. Daniel! offered the folioivimr
substitute—“Resolved that the taritis of 1S24 and 18£§

advanced by Mr. Smith, are cogent, anti as I humbly
conceive conclusive. They are worthy to be recorded
along side ofLiyiugston*s speech, Drayton’s address, and
Madison’s letter. They honor his teed and Ids heart;
and must convince every one who carefully reads them,
that his abandonment of doctrines heretofore attributed
to turn, proceeds from dcop conviction, produced by a
train of irresistable reasoning*. That lie should meet
wiui censure from those whose evil doctrines lie has ex

There can be no greater eulogy, pronounced upon, any

sentiments of a foreigner, whose opinion, are at war

apt'ears to consist in n viling our government, setting at

Judge Smith’s previous political sentiments, I do not
nOw Oeicnd Perlii'.ps there is much in them deserving
of ccnsure—But because lie h ia sometimes erred, i* is
unreasonable to require him always lu do so.' Those
who have opposed his errors, aud censured him freely for
them, are hie opponents so tong only as lie cleaves to
a course they deem erroneous. The moment he aban
dons what id objectionable in bis tenets, and steps forth u.
defender of sound Republican doclrinrs, he will find his
“old enemies” converted into new friends, that wiU”gwc
him a warm ivclcome to their ranks.” Tbe cnnniy of a

Serious—Wn are notin the habit of noticing anony

cann t refrain.collirig the attention of our renders to »hr
following extmet from tbe Augusta Chronicle, select'd
from ap.article signed “A Citix^n ” “ Our author de
nie's the entity of faction in South Carolina; but, Sir,
tids ass'-rtimi is untennhie ; for three days ago, a number
of Cnroiiuians, at wy house, declared publicly, that if
tliemiiilary fofcedf tlie advorates of nullification-should
iiltipiutely prove inefficient, the cooperation of Englmul
would be attainable.” What will tbe Telescope say to
this? Does it expect Georgia to go with such Carolipi-
ansas these?
The Columbia Telescope congratulates itself that Geor
gia will yet go with some uf the politicians oT South Car
olina in their ultra course. Tbe people of Georgia will
do no such thing. The Telescope begins to find its own
ground shdiog rapidly from onder it. Dr. Cooper will
probably fare in Carolina as be has done elsewhere, and
thenld gentleman, (Iq use a plantation phrase) will soon
find himsrit stvhe end-orbis row. The good sense of ilie
people of S. Carolina has silenced, in a' good degree, the
senseless clamor about nullification. If it be any grat i
fication to tbe Telescope fo know-ihat many of Governor
’Troup’s adherents in Georgia ire disgusted at his letter,,
and others afraid and ashamed openly to avow its doc
trines, it is quite welcome to a tt the comfort of such a-re-
flection. We know there ore some in Georgia who go all
lengths with hiui—and though they may approve his sen
timents, they dare not npen'ycdme out as nullifitrs.
They are now writhing under Wood’s Resolutions and
were very anxious to avoid voting on them As to Out
Northern feelings and Northern principles—if to he born
and bought up South of the Savannah, and to think and
feel with Williams, Drayton, Livingston, and Madisou,
he to possess Northern principles and Northern feeling*,'
we are quite willing to lie under the imputation—much
more so than to be subjeet tothe influence and feelinga of
a foreigner, who thinks France and England more natu
rally our friends than Massachusetts, Kentucky, or New
York. , \

Mr. Editor— In the Recorder of the 13th instant, 1
find the following editorial “ ouaments.”^
"Tire proceedings of Friday ended by.toying on the ta
ble the preamble and resolutions.—The next day they
were again token tip, and adopted, as will be seen under
tbe head of “Georgia Legislature,,’ with tbe additional
resolution offered by Mr. Daniel!, of Chatham, declaring
the opposition of the legislature of Georgia, to Ike polit
ical principles of Mr. John Quincy Adams, ae expressed
in bis uragural address.
After Mr. Daniell had offered hi#resolution, the Presi
dent of the Senate demanded, in Ute usual way,the sense
of the Senate upon it.—All the members on the seine side
of the faouse with Mr. Daniell, said Aye; but most of all
the members of the other side mid No. The President
had declared the resolution as lost, when * member of tbe
Clerk party, reflecting on the consequence the vote, they
had given against the resolution disapproving the admin
istration of Mr. Adams, would have among their epustit-
uents, who are almost unanimously friendly to the present
administration, Warned his friends of what they were do
ing. This warning had a good and happy effect, for on
taking the sense of the Senate, by yeas and noes, to! not
one member voted against the resolution. What think
ye of this legislative teensaettour, reader?. W hat wilt the
j csult deplorably for theta, to attempt to get it up—aim'
they who, in the Senate voted against the pnss-i-jv. 'of
Major Woods resolutions, wifi Jmd some difficulty in
satisfying the constituents they have so palpably mia-r pre
sented.
Dr. Coopers* paper says, “ Georgia will'.be. with us 13
“ ’V e have every thing to hope from tbetr (the lfiemjs df
Typup) uetive and cordialco-aperatioii.-” What wilt the
patriotic part of tbe Troup party say to this • Will they
permit a few of.tb«-ir leaders to pledge their assistance
to aid tnc foreigner Cooper in stirring up rebellion agatusl
the government established by vWsnmgl'jn, and his com
peers? Troup h is sent in ms adn sno, and the disciples oi
the friend of Robespierre, suppose be con carry with him
every one-who baa once had tbe oaiae of a “ Troup mai;’-

and better understand fee v i|uc of the Government that,
secures their civil qnd religious .rights. And now that
Troup has fraternized with tin. fortran enemy of our in
stitutions, veFy ni.myof those who have heretofore been
called by his name, have buckled mi the armour of re
publicanism, and will uianlully oppose the machinations
of domestic eneoties, to preserve the free government
for which their forefathers made such great sacrifices,
and overcame enemies from without. L< t not the civil
warites'close their eyes to-this truth until they, run their
beads into the iiooso. “ Georgia will*’ not “be with

that in spite of the ex^ifomeut of tueal politics, will unite

MR. WOFFORD AND MR. DOUGHERTY* *
Mir. Editor—In the Georgia Journal of the 6ll» instant,
under tint headof “Compensation of Jurors,” —in answer
to Mr. Wolford, I observed that “M/. Ddugbcity replied

(Mr. W.) did not serve him at all. I have always, said
Mr. D., beeu with that gentleman m his views on the ge
neral principle: but I uave stfieays-diifored with him as to
the fund out of winch Jurors ought to be paid. Hersfor
paying them out of the Treasury, l am for doing theve-
ry same thing by an “eetra.tas in -the counties.” In tbe

that he bad boon consistent. No geotlemkn, lie oaid,

them out of the fundproposed by the gentleman fromHab-

will pardon me for eouthuheiing. I akall proceed to
prove that Mr. D. did not if nay a aider with Mr. WMtxd,
“aa to the fund out of which ^jurors ought to be paid”—
and that the “doctrines?* he now nuuotoins, “he had,”

Mr. D.—“that the memory of the gentleman from”
Glark, “did nut Oerve liim at alU”
' Now for proof—In the year ISSS, Mr. Pettit-then a
member from the county of Columbia “reported a bill to
compensate petit jurors” [see Journals of tbe H. of R
p. 8ffj to show out of what “/und;’’ ttw jurors were}nh*
compensated, according to fee-.principles and. provisions
of Mr. Pettit’s bilt, R i» neeesooey only to copy the first
pact of it. If this fond werertohe taken Out of the Trtas-
ury t and not to bb rateed by additional taxon upon
counties—end it it W then shown tint Mr. DonghCrty
supported Mr. Pettit’s bill—and that Mr. Wofford also
supported it—then I shall have made good my proof and
redeemed u»y promise. The bill commences in 4ho*e
yronte, “A b«H tob* entitled an net tor the campsoaetion

the Journals of the House of Representatives, it wijl hi
seep that this bill was put upon its passage 1 “tbe yeas
and nays were required to be recorded—nfia ore yeas 76,
■ays 24.” Among the supporters of (his bill, the name
of Mr. Dougherty is recorded—mid therefore it is made
manifest, feat Mr. D. ‘‘had” net “always maintained,”
tbe “doctrines” of payingThe jurors “by an extra tax in
the counties, and not “out of lhe Treasury”—and that
*'he liail” not “always voted against paying them out of
\hefuud proposed by the gentleman from Habersham”—
but Mr. V\’offjrd’s name is also recorded with Mr.Dough
erty’s in support of iMr. Pettit’s bill—and therefore it is
evident also that Mr. D has not “always differed with
him as to the/tmd out of which jurors ought to be paid;”
- Agniir—-io the year 1826, Mr. Pettit introduced anoth
er birtfor the compensation of petit jurors, containing fee
very same principles as that-of 1825—the funds for that
pu rpose to be to ken from, the Treasury* fee. fee. —Against
this bill however, Mr. Dougherty repeatedly voted, and
therefore “he had”-ncf “beon consistent”—Q> C. fi.
I wish to be understood as endeavoring to fix nothing
upon Mr. D. but the fact of forgetfulness, k is very pro
bable in itself, that from the laps*of ; five year* Mr. D.
did not recollect tbe circumstance of having supported (he
above mentioned bill of 1825—there Was no organised
opposition to the principle^ of the bill, until it bad passed
through the House of Representatives and entered tin
Senate; there tbe serious opposition originated, and there
the silly, principle was engendered and hatched up of lay
ing extra taxes upon the purses of the citizens of the dif
ferent counties (already too highly taxed) for the purpose
as was pretended, ofcouipcnsatingthe jurors, but really for
the purpose of defo-aling the bill—not daring to avow an
open hostility to the principle of paying petit jurors, for
fear of tbe total loss of popularity with their constituents;
but cunningly, craftily, subtidy, aod ingeniously pretend
ing to advocate the general principle, by substituting in
place ol the bill, a systematic burden of additional taxation,
annually tube fostened upon, and riveted to the neck* of
the rich a inf the poor, the widow add the orphan,—Akys-
-tc-ih that never can, nor never ought to be popular in this
State: nevertheless, it was a riirewdly devised modus ope
rands for delcating the bill for Uie compensation of jurors-
—it prevailed—and has defeated every other biff for the
same purpose, from (bat time down to tile present mo
ment-
In short, Mr. Polhill, the people need never expect to'
see on act passed for the compensation of jurors, until the
Chirk party get a majority in both branches of the Legist
ature, then and not till then, will justice be done to jurors.

. No. II.
TO THE HONORABLE THE LEGISLATURE OP
GEORGIA.
“It is military discipline which constitutes the glory of
the soltlier r and the power of armies.”—Carnot.
It is in vain to. attempt to.inculcate a useful knowledge
of tactics among the people of this State during the exis
tence of the present militia law. Previous toinumera<
ting the absurdities of this code it may not be amiss to
notice the collisions ef constant occurrence between our
i vn, and tbe lairs of the United States on the same sub
ject. And herein the powers of Congress will not be
qiestioned, since the jurisdiction oyer the subject is con
tkbd fo her by express constitutional appointment. These
aretire words—“Congress shall have power to provide for
organising, arming, and disciplining the mj|itia, aud for
governing such parts of them as may be employed in tlie
service of the United Slates; reserving to tire states re
spectively fee appointment of the officers, and the author
ity of training the militia according to the discipline pre
scribed by Congress. It appears, then, that the power to
organize, arm, and discipline tbe militia is delegated to
Congress by fee constitution-. We have therefore, only
to enquire whether Congress have ever exercised the power
of organizing the militia ? W hether she has passed any
i«w with this end hi view ? If she .has, the law thus pas
sed must bp the supreme law of the land “ any thing in
he constitution or law a of a particular State to the con-
rary notwithstanding.” Congress have passed such *
to w; and accordingly by thuiract of tbe 8th May, 1792.
.a uniform organization of the whole of the militia of fee
U States is attempted. This law is entitled “Ah act
iuoreefieclualty to provide, lor the .national defence by
stahlishing a uniform militia throughout the United
States.” By the third section of this law, it is among
-' ■.iier things provided, “That within one day after the
pissing of this act, the militia, of the respective States
shall be arranged into divisions, brigades, regiments,
: battalions aud companies.” The mariner in which this
law is to he tffi eUd as well as the appointment of officers
tu eonmi jid those various -military divisions arc both
used to the States, And all fee State* exercise their
privilege in this respect. It is under tbe authority of
Ute act uf Congress that every captain*# district in the
United States is laid off, under the same authority that
every militia officer in tbe U. States holds his couim>*-
sioiii I do not mean that those officers derive their com
missions immediately from ihe U. States. Everybody
kuuws tb-t they are issued by the Governors of Ihe-in-
dividjal States Nevertheless fee yfice itself exists on-
der the authority.of the U. Stales ; and the same militia
officers in grade and in title exist «n all fee. States alike.
It is true, we have a law of our own State, establishing
mg those offices, and .prescribing the mode of ascertain
ing Uiosc districts; but this law is only intended, as it pro
fesses, to carry the law of Congress “for establishing a
uniform militia” into effect. Every State in the Union
bus a similar law, I mean a-law of its own, appointing
all the officers, aod establishing all the districts, and
other military divisions, required by Congress, in order
iJiat.Ru; military organization throughout the U. States
might be uniform. No State has the right, to dispense
with any <ffi-e established by Congress. If one State
liave the right and were to exercise it^ in other words, if
every State- were to organize their militia upon their Own
plan, each differing from tbe other, there would result
interminable confusion in time of peace,- and the most
- disastrous cousequences in time of war;- Should this
