Mr. Cambrcleng adverted to the necessity
of speedy action upon tlii.s subject. 'I'he war
was proixressing. Fifteen hundred Indians were
in the field, and they were opposed by only
about two hundred troops. Unless speedily
repressed, they would probably make inroads
upon the State ol Geogia. If the gentleman
from Ohio desired to raise a question or a de
bate upon the treaty, he couid select another
opportunity, without embarrassing the present
measure.
On motion of Mr. Adams, the bill was amend
ed, by providing, that the sum appropriated
should be expended under the direction of the
Secretary of War, conformably to law. It has
since passed botli branches of congress.

itndinent to the amendment.
Glascock then made that motion.
q r> Wise accepted it as a modification of his
-flciidmcnt.
* Mr. Glascock wished, ho said, his amend-
’, j 0 ofiered as a substitute for that of the
■Fenian from Virginia, so that the whole
stion, in some form or other, would be pre-
■nted to the consideration of the house.
The Chair said that could only be done by
"oving to strike out from the amendment all al-
a certain word. It would be competent for
;V gentleman from Georgia to move to strike
,'ut all alter the word “that,” and insert his a-
jnendment.
.\1 r Glascock said he would make that motion,
jji-j object was, as expressed by the gentleman
• \mi Vir'inin, to come to some understanding,
, ,,,j by some direct and decisive vote, ascertain
nv |ar their northern brethren were disposed
•j <ro with those of the south on this question;
and lie was gratified to find, that for the first
it began to assume some tangible shape.
Mr. G. said, he wished it distinctly understood,
Fat so far as the resolutions of the gentleman
from Maine went, they met his approbation; but
; \ a t they did not go fur enough, was perfectly
dear to himself, and evident upon the very
o( them. Whatever might be the consti-
:-tjonal ddlbrenco of opinion as to the right of
congress to interfere with slavery in the Dis-
trict of Columbia, it was expected by the south,
: f such a right be recognized, (which he would
itol fora moment believe,) that something defi-
Ftu should be done, and that we should be placed
in possession of their views on this important
.object; and lie believed they would be such as
;j quiet all fears, and soothe the feelings of a
: v agitated people. If, however, he was mis-
then, in the language of his resolution,
further attempts to agitate this question here,
would be calculated to disturb the compromises
the constitution, and endanger this Union.—
The simple act of laying petitions of the char
acter of those presented here, and expected to
. presented, on the table, was not calculated
to allay the feelings of tho south and if such a
result was anticipated, gentlemen were indeed
mistaken. But he did believe that if on I lie
present occasion, there could he a clear expres
sioit of opinion against the right of congress,
interfering with slavery in this District, coupled
with tho sentiments of the public meetings held
throughout the different States of the north,
‘■that it would tranquilize the troubled waters.”
and have the tendency to quiet and satisfy the
south. But if it be not done, these fond anti
cipations would never be realized. Now, said
Mr. G. was the profered time for his northern
brethren to come forth; ihc crisis had arrived
when they should speak out, and if they spoke
nr,d acted as he expected, then all would be well.
rJr. G. said he had no objections that a di
rect resolution, or scries of resolutions, should
b? offered declaring that it was a violation of
the constitution fur congress to interfere with
slavery here; that he had satisfied himself it was
unconstitutional, and should vote for any such
resolution. But, whilst he was disposed to do
this himself, lie was not prepared to censure
those, or impugn the motives of such as might
differ with him. And he felt it his duty in can-
Fr to state, that so far as the abstract question
the constitutional right was concerned as to
this District, there were various and conflicting
opinions, among the best jurists as well as con
stitutional lawyers of the country, and he re
gretted that some of these were to b<> found
even in the south. And even here, in this house,
i-aid Mr. G. he knew several who would vote
against any resolution declaring it unconstitu
tional in congress to interfere with slavery in
the District, but who would go heart and hand
with the southern members against any such in-
Lrference, and against the reading and even
printing ol the petitions of the abolitionists, or
furthering their views, either directly or indi-
ircuy. And from what had taken place, he
looked with great confidence for a warm and
cordial support of the resolution, which lie had
the honor to offer, fie thought it the least the
souta ought to expect, and what they had a right
,o require, from their brethren of the north.
Mr. llolsey then rose, and after proceeding
‘ few moments, gave wav to a call for the or-
lers ol the day, the hour for resolutions being
Hissed.
On motion of Mr. Cambrcleng, the commit-
lee proceeded to consider the following hill

'toitii.iips commenced, bp Ike Seminole Indians.
Be if enacted. That 'he sum of eighty
Gousnnd dollars lie, and the same is hereby
appropriate,|, out of anv monev in the treasury
’■ot otherwise appropriated, for the expenses
attending the repression of hostilities, com-
ifnccd by the Seminole Indians in Florida.
A communication from the Secretary of War
on file subject was rend, when
Cambrcleng briefly adverted to the
“'Tis the star-spangled banner,oh, ton? may itwave
“O’ertheUuul of the free and the home of t lie brave.”

FOR PRESIDENT.

FOR VICE-PRESI!)ENT.
CHEROKEE TRE ATY.—Never was there
a more ridiculous parade than is exhibited is
the Southern Recorder, of the 12th instant, in
relation to this treaty. That paper affects to
believe, that the leg slation of Georgia has not
contributed to this result. We know, and every
rational man acquainted with the subject must
know, that tb j abolition of the Cherokee govern
ment hv the legislature of Georgia, and subse
quent laws which treated the Cliorokees as ene
mies and savages, have exerted a very power
ful influence, in inducing their removal. Had
not the nullifiers taken part with the Cherokces,
in their late controversy with the citizens and
government of the State, we doubt not tiiat
this legislation would have induced their removal
at an earlier period. But the Recorder believes,
that the abolition of their government, and the
abridgment of their possessions have been the
cause of their remaining so long in the State.
The Recorder surely reasons by contraries.
According to the Recorder, neither is the
president entitled to any credit for this treaty.
“The administration had not the independence
to venture, on its own responsibility, the five
millions, which lias really procured the treaty.”
Andrew Jackson is charged with fearing to
meet the responsibility of paying Indians a rea
sonable price for their lands! If those who
make this charge, know anything of the politi
cal history of their country, they know that it
is unjust; thev know, that it is not the character
of Andrew Jackson to shun responsibility.—
The president offered to the Cherokees, about
three millions of dollars; thev rejected his offer,
and claimed twenty millions. 'To this exorbitant
demand he would not yield; hut lie said to them,
“vour friends, Webster, and Clav, and South-
ard. and Frelinghuvsen are in the senate; a
majority of that body is with them; they are
opposerl to me, and will take care of your in
terests. Let them determine the price to he
given for your lands.” To this most reasonable
proposition the Cherokees assent; and for mak
ing it, the president is charged bvthe Recorder,
with evading responsibility. The president lias
uniformly sustained the cause of Georgia, in
her Cherokee cont roversies, at everv hazard to
himself. He has refused to adopt the opinions
of * he supreme court; for this course he lias
been violently denounced; his character as a
man and his popularity as a statesman have
been bitterly and vehemently assailed, not bv
a few individuals, but bv that entire pariv which

LAWS TO PUNISH ABOLITION-IN-;
CENDIARIES.—-About four years ago, we
expressed the opinion, in the Federal Union,
that the non slave-holding States are bound to j
enact laws for the punishment of any who |
should agitate within their limits, the question of I
the abolition of slavery in the southern States, j
In the more fall investigation which this subject !
has since undergone, we have discovered no !
reason to change the opinion then expressed;

will perceive, bv adverting to tho 1st section of
the above mentioned act, that this view of the
case is there confirmed. The Indian country
is described to he “all that part of the United
States Are. not within any State to which the
Indian title has not been extinguished,” &rc.—
In Alabama, the Creek title as originally held,

of universal justice, recognised by all wise go. j 0 f Alabama and under the ordinary operation

in such a manner as to injure others, or impair frequently insufficient to allord due protection,
their rights; and their laws arc replete with ex-; and the only remedy left for the parlies, is an

would be a nuisance to them. Every man has
a right to use fire-arms; but in cities and towns
the law in general forbids the firing of guns;
because the unrestrained exercise of this right,
by any man in the midst of a dense population,
might he injurious to other®. In th: se cases,
the prohibitory law does not violate the right
of the citizen, in the one instance to use his
own land, and in the other to employ fire arms;
it only restrains the right wit .in proper limits,
under the principle above stated.
Every man lias a right to the free exercise of
the powers of speech, and to the expression of
liis opinions in writing, or by that wide-spread
ing and powerful engine, the press. These
rights ought to he watched with zealous care;
for on their preservation depends the liberty of
the people; but their exercise is subject to re-
stiieiions in all the States. 'I'he law rio where
permits a citizen to employ them in unjustly
assailing the reputation of another; and the
records of thecourts abound with examples of
men who have suffered its penalties for slander,
and for libel. In these eases, no one will com.
plain, that the freedom of speech, or of the ■
press, is invaded; it is onlv restrained within j
proper limits, and its abuse is subjected to jus* )
punishment; no man being allowed to use his j
own right to the injury of another.
There is then a broad distinction, universally j
admiited, between a violation of the freedom of!
speech, and of the press; and a salutary restraint j
upon its injurious exercise.
The publication, within the limits of the non-
slave-holding States, oft facts, addresses, essays,
or treatises in any form, urging the abolition of
slavery in the southern States, is an unjust and
pernicious exercise of the freedom of the press,
which cannot contribute to the prosperity of the
House of Representatives.

called the peculiar I'-ienri of Georgia. In the
transaction in the senate, in tlie spring of 1825,
one of our senators, the honorable John P. Kmg,
was the organ of communication between the
administration and that body; and he managed
the affair with his usual efficiency. The sena
tors friendly to the administration were at once
willing to act on the reference. Judge White
also entered upon it with promptitude, hut took
no lending part. Oursnnator, colonel Alfred
Cuthbert, accomplished more than any other
individual, in conciliating the friendly action on
this question, of those senators, who have gen
erally espoused the cause of the Cherokees
against Georgia. The senate acted on it, with
a just and impartial regard tor the interest of
both parties. On this occasion, Judge White
was not wanting in friendship fin- Georgia; nnd
he discharged Itis duty as chairman of the com
mittee on Indian affairs; hut he was not “the
prominent and efficient man in procuring the
recommendation of the senate.” We are thank
ful for the service which he and other senators
rendered to the State; b it he is entitled to no
distinction above other members of that body.
