INDIAN OUTRAGE.
Tn Floyd county, near Dirt Town,on
the 7th inst. a party of Indians assem
bled no doubt with a design of murder,
ing a family of ®ur white citizens by
the name of Moore. As fortune would
nave it, however, their nefarious inten.
tions were overheard by an Indian wo.
man, who being friendly to the family,
communicated them, just in time for
their intended victims to escape. Af
ter the Squaw had made known their
designs, and that they were then on
their way to execute them, the family
had scarcely hastened from their pre
mises, before the Indians an ived; and
on finding that they had fled, mortified
from disappointment, they tore and
broke up every article of furniture a
hout the house. These Indians were
all ot the R >ss party. We think that
every individual free from prejudice
will admit that the Governor has act
ed advisedly in establishing a guard for
the protection of our peacable citizens
against such daring outrages.
Even if a guard were not essentially
necessary, the fact that the Governor
kas ordered it, in obedience to a re
solution of the last Legislature, and on
the solicitation of the citizens of this
country,should not subject him to the
slightest animadversions. If fault is
imputable to any, it is to the last Legis.
lature, not to the Governor. What
el»e could he have done, when author
ised by thejast Legislature to order a
guard, and now requested by the
constituents orthose whoauthorized him
and by some ofthe members themselves
to do so? He would have been recreant
in dutj, had he nAt have extended over
the citizens of this country,that protec
tion which he is empowered and au
thorised to do, when existing circum.
stancesso imperiously require it. What
possible ®tate of affairs that the last
Legislature could have foreseen would
exist in this country, which Xould have
rendered a complyauce by the Gover
nor with their resolution, authorising
him to order a guard, more necessary,
than that which now exists? We answer
none. Our white citizens need pro
tection; Indians friendly to the policy
of the State,need protection; and the
Governor had no other alternative,
whether he considered it necessary or
not, but to afford it te us. It is well
known that nothing would have such
a tendency to keep hostile lndian s
under such awe and restraint, asa
standing and regular guard: and we
are conscious of needing their protec
tion; though the Nullifiers say that
with them the case is different. They
can and de shield themselves from mo
lestation very effectually we know, by
their close connection and intimacy
with John Ross and his friends, and it
is somewhat ungenerous in them to a
buse us, because we do not choose to
purchase our own safety by such an al
liance. They are rather degenerat
ing, we fear, from that noble daring &
warlike spirit, which characterized
them in the days of yore, such as the
chivalrous appearance and threatening
aspect which they presented in South-
Carolina, a year or two since, & which
now reminds us of the renowned feat
of Don Quixotte when the
lion. Those days have passed howe
ver, and they now prefer peace. The
bare mention of a guard in arms and
warlike preparations, much less the
sight of one, is terrific.
We have at our Office a very remar
kable curiosity, being the heads and
horns of two Bucks, the bores inextri
cably interlocked, so that iio -art or
force can seperate without breaking
them. The deer which was of uiiusu
sual size, were found on John’s Island
a few days ago, dead, with.(heir'lwriis
thus fastened together, having
been engaged in a furious encounter.*
The skulls are in perfect preservation;
and it is the intention ofthe Gentle
man who left them at our office to send
them to France, for the satisfaction of
some of the savants there who had
heard, but doubted of such * things.
We have seen in the Beaufort Library
a similar specimen, taken from two
bucks who were found alive, on the
beach of Eding‘s Island, and killed with
a stick,in the defenceless state to which
they had reduced themselves. The
specimen mentioned above may be
seen at this Office for a lew days.

COL. R. M. JOHNSON.
The falsehood and unblushing auda
city of the federal press,seems to know
no bounds. The Bank must become
bankrupt if it pays but half the premi
um which in the corrupt mat ine courts
of Europe, is allowed for testimony of
that class of that kind of evidence
termed “damned souls,” whose office
it is to swear to whatever their clients
dictate, fora shilling each suit.
The following extract from a letter
to the editor ofthe Albany Argus, by
a highly respectable citizen, of Col.
Johnson, will show how much truth
there is in the “ Dusky Sally" story ot
the federalists of 1835. The writer is
the Hon. Thomas J. Pew.;
West Point, June 6, 1835.
To the Editor ofthe Argus*
Sir—ln the “Newburgh Telegraph”
of the 4th inst. 1 observe an article!
designed for a reply to- the attacks of
the opposition on the domestic re ations
of Col. Johnson: The paragraph in
question, which was evidently well
merit, assumes it to be true that gentle
man is really a married man and likely
to suffer much humiliation from these
outrages of the newspapers. As other
journals entertain similar impressions,
I think it but an act of justice o rectify
them, and to state fortheir information
that Col. Johnson never was married,
—and that he has no wife, or. reputed
wife. The female about whom these li
bels have been written haslongsince pas'
sed that “bourne from whence no travel
ler returns”—and is not therefore,under
any circumstances, a fit subject for
newspaper coriiroversy. The discussi
on can conduce nothing to the public in
struction,or add to the benefit of private
morals. The editor of the Telegraph
I am sure, will correct the erroneous
impression with the utmost satisfaction.

JUDGE SCHLEY’S CONSTITU
TIONAL OPINIONS.
It is known to our readers, that
Judge Schley was employed some
years since by legislative authority,
to compile a digest of the English
statutes in force in the State of Geor
gia which work he completed and re
ported te the Governor in November,
1825.
In the body of that work,under the
head of “Notes on Magna page
57, will be found his epinion upon our
Constitution and iorm of government,
which we publish to-day, for the pur
pose of silencing the charges of feder
alism and consolidation which are rin
ging through the country from the or
gans of nullification; and of placing
his constitutional opinions before the
public, in their true light.
It will be borne in mind by our read
ers, that these opinions have net been
manufactured at short notice, to suit
the present hour, but that they were
deliberately committed to record as
long as the year 1825; and that too,
when he could have felt no induce
ment, personal or political, to impose
upon the public, doctrines and princi
ples not his own.
“After the termination of the war,
and, and when, by the treaty of 1783,
England had acknowledged the inde
pendence of the states, it then became
necessary that they should agree upon,
and settle some form of government,
and establish certain fundamental prin
ciples upon which it should be minis
tered. This, at first view, would ap
pear to be no easy matter, when we
reflect on the various and conflicting in
terests by which the different sections
of the country were actuated. But a
people who had been united in the
cause of liberty against a common ene
my, and had obtained their object by
the combined exertions of all,%ei e not
disposed to endanger the union, by a
pernicious adherence to every right
and benefit, which they would have
been willing, under other circumstan
ces, to have inssited upon. It was n. •
cessary in the formation of the fede
ral government, that each state should
give up a part of its sovereignty, dele
gating to this general government such
powers as were necessary for iu eiit-
fence, and to enable it efficiently to sus
tain its own dignity, and to protect the
individual states. This was accor
dingly done by the original framers of
the constitution, and their acts were
ratified by the states. But, neither the
convention who formed, nor the states
who ratified this constitution, had the
most distant idea, that the doctrine of
constructive powers would be earned
to the alarming extent, contended for
by some politicians of the present day;
and which threatens the destruction of
state rights, and state sovereignty. If
this doctrine be persisted in, and no
remedy provided for the evil, the fede
ral government, like Aaron’s rod, will
swallow up the state government, and a
final consolidation of the whole, will
put an end to that beautiful system of
liberty which is now the pride and boast of
the free people of
If there is a man;claiming to be the
disciple of Washington, Jefferson and
Madison, who does not yield a willing
assent to the views embodied by Judge
Schley in the above extract, he is not of
the true faith.
That the nullifiers will reject it,wej
do not question, because, so far as we |
understand them, they deny all powei '■
to the general governmen, when in con-1
flict with a state. To such as have I
given themselves over to this newl
creed, it is in vain to speak; but to the
men of the constitution, who .still think
it better than nullification, we now ad
dress ourselves,- and ask them a fair
comparison between the opinions of
Judge Schley and those ofthe sound,
old school republicans;
Let every candid man read it ? and
tell us, if there is any thing in il, of
federalism or consolidation?
