The most mature reflection since, has added strength to the belief that the best in- tcrests ot our couatry require the speedy adop tion ot some plan calculated to.effect this end. A centingeucy winch sometimes places it in tti power ot a single member of the" House ot Representatives to decide an election of so lugh and solemn a character, is Unjust to the people, and becomes, when it occurs, a source of embarrassment io the individuals thus brought imo power, and a cou.-e oi distrust of the representative butty. Liable as the con federacy is, from its great extent, lo parties founded upon sectional interests, and to a cor responding multiplication of candidates lor the presidency, the tendency of (be constitutional: 'passed by the Sfate9 within the scope of their reserved powers, they are not responsible to this Government. As individuals, we may er„ tertain and express our opinions of their acts- hut, as a Government we have as httle right to control them as we have to prescribe laws to foreign nations. With a lull understanding of the subject, the Chacktaw and Chickasaw tribes have, with great unanimity, determined to avail themselves ot the liberal offers, presented by the act of Congress, and have agreed to re- move beyond the Mississippi river Treaties have been made with them, which, in due season, will be .submitted for consideration 111 negotiating these treaties, they were made to understand their true condition; and they have preferred maintaining their independ ence in the Western forests to submitting to the laws oftho states in which tliey now re- -ide These treaties being probably the last which nril ever be made with them, arc char act prized by great liberality on the part of the Government. They give the Indians a libe ral sum in consideration of their removal, and comfortable subsistence on their arrival at their new homes. If it be their real interest to maintain a separate existence, they will there be at liberty t^do so without the incon veniences and vexations to which they would unavoidably have been subj.ct in Alabama and Mississippi.

These consequences, some of them so certain, nod the rest so probable, make the. complete execution of the plan sanctioned by Congress at their last session an object of much solici tude. Toward the aborigines of the country bo one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would go further in attempting to reclaim them from their wandering habits; and make them a happy and prosperous people. I have endeavored to impress upon them mv own so lemn convictions of the duties and powers ot the General Government in relation to the £Uaic authorities. For tbe justice ofthe laws iviih forest*, and ranged by a f.V thousand savages, to our extensive republic, -studd-o4 with cities, towns, and prosperous farms; ein bellisbed with ail the imjiroveinents whicli art can devise, or industry execute; occupied by more than twelve millions of happy people, and filled with all th blesi-Higs of liberty civ- li/z dion, and religion ! 'I’be present policy of the Government is but a continuation of the same progressive change, by a milder process. The tribes which occupied tbe countries now constituting i he Eastern Stales were annihilated, or have melted away,to make room tor the whites The waves of population and civil.zation are rolling to the Westward; and we now pro pose to acquir t he countm s occupied by the red men of the South and We-t, by a fair ex change, and at the expense of the U. States to send them to a land where their existeuc may be prolonged, and perhaps made p- rpei n.iI. Doubtless it will b painful to leave th» graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did,-of than our chi. -Iron are new doing. To better their cond tiou in an unknown land, our fore fathers le ; : all that was dear in earthly objects Our chi) ilren by thousands, yearly leave the land o' their birth-lo seek n«;»v homes in distant rr gions. 1) -es: humanity weep at these painfn separations from every thing, animate and hi animate with which the young heart Inis be co*no jDih v'ii.eo ? F ir from it. It is rathtir i -> nice ot joy that our country fiords scop* where our yyung population .may range uti constrained in body or in mind, developing the power rind facilities of m m in their high est perfection. These remove hundreds, and almost thousands of miles, at their own ex pense, purchase the lands they occupy, and support thwin-elves at their new home from tire moment of tfieir arrival Can it be cruel m tfris Government when, by events which it cannot.control, the Indian is made • disconten ted in his ancient home, to purchase bis lands, to give him a new and extensive teiritory, to pay the expense of his removal, and support him a year in his new abode \ How many thousands of our own people would gladly em brace the opportunity of removing lo the j west on such conditions ! If the offers made to tbe Lull ms were extended to them, they would be hailed with gratitude and joy. And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stranger attachment to his lion»e, than tile settled, civil izftl Ctnisiian 1 Is it more afflicting to him to leavr- the •jr.i vi t <( his fathers, than it is to our brothers and chil- <lren ? (tightly considered, tb* policy of the General (iovenuneot towards the red man, is not only liberal but generous. He is unwilling to submit lo tbe laws of tbe Slates, and mingle with their population. To save him finm this attern .live, -or perhaps utler annihilation, the General Government kindly off-rs him a new home, and proposes lo pay the whole expense of his removal and stti lem. nt. In the consummation of a policy originating at an ear ly period, un<l steadily pursued by every administration within the present century—so just lo Ibe States, and so generous to the Indians, Ihe Executive feels it lias a right to expect the co-operation of Congress, and of ell good and disinterested men. The States,, moreover, base a right to dcinan i it. Il was substantially a part of the compact which made them members of our confederacy. With Georgia, 'here is an express contract; with tbe new Mutes, an implied one, of equal obligation. Why, in aulboiising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Missis sippi, and Alabama, to form constitutions, and .become separate States, did Congress ioclude within their limits extens ve tracts of Indian lauds, and, in some instances, powerful Indian tribes ? Was it not understood by both parties that the power of the States was to be co-ex ten sive with their limits, and that, with all convenient des patch, the General Government should extinguish the In dian title, and remove every obstruction to the comply jurisdiction of tiie State Governments over the soil ? Probably not one of those States would have accepted a separate existence, certainly it would never have been granted by Congress—had it been understood that they were to be confined forever to those sn^tl portions of their nominal territory, the Indian title to which had at tbe time been extinguished. It is, therefore, a duly which this Government owes to the new State*, to exlingoisb, as soon a* possible, the Indian title to all lands which Congress themselves have included Ivithin their limits. When this is done, the du nes ofthe Genera! Government in relation to the States and Indians within their limits are at an end. Tbe In dians may leave the State or not as they choose. The purchase-of their lands does not atter^ in thelsas^ their The President’s Viosage reached Milkdgevitte by VVeduefcday morning’s mail. It is a luminous, able, and highly practical document—doing equal credit to the head nnd the heart of Andrew Jackson. We do not expect that it will entirely meet Ibe views of any <>f the eontend- nig sections of our happy country. Yet this is Ihe very feature in it which we most admire. The Tunflhes will b* disappointed—the nuHificrs wilt be most sorely disap pointed. Had the President, by his communication at thi* momentous period, pampered ihe appe ites of m inu* fueluiing cupidity, or ad led lo the discontent and excite ment which prevail in oilier sections, lie would have for feited that high character for a sincere attachment to eve ry pari of Die Union aiiich has ever distinguished him, and ever should distinguish tbe chi«;f magistrate of.-great nation, (n Ibis. Jackson has again evinced that moral courage, for which he is so remarkable—» murage, much i<j acquiring for liiut n much glory in the Cabinet a-> !>e gained in the field. On all the points of discontent, the President has < xpre*scd himself in a manner calculated to allay (he feelings—to promote reflect ion & dispassion- ite inquity—ev jiic at ihe same nine, ho hae given munv strong, practical arguments m favor of his positions. \ few years ago, this message would have been received with acclamations North of the Potomac and west of the Alle ghany—a few years ago, it would have cheered the hearts of all South of the Potomac. Now, we should net be surprised to hear m irnrurings from all these -j ia*tcrs. Hut -ve have a President who dares to throw himself in the midst of the breach and recommend tiros* mutual ami fraternal concessions ivlach formed the.first ceimnt of our government, and by which alone, it can be perpetua ted. We regret that our limits donut p-rmit us to give tin- not stage entire at this lima.
