At the January term (1831) of the Su
preme Court of the United States, the Cher
okee Nation, by their counsel, moved that
court for an injunction against the State ot
Georgia, to restrain and enjoin her from the
enforcement of certain acts of her Legisla
ture upon various grounds, the most materi
al of which, tor the present inquiry, it is be
lieved are embraced within certain portions
ot the statement of the case', as reported in
6th Peters, to which the attention ot’ the
House is invited. Among other things, the
bill proceeds to state, “ that, in violation ot
these treaties, of the Constitution of the U
nited States, and of the act ot’ Congress ol
1802, the State of Georgia, at a session ot
her Legislature, held in December, 1828,
passed an act, which received the assent ol
the Governor of that State, on the twenti
eth day of that month and year, entitled
“an act to add the territory lying within
this State, and occupied by the Cherokee
Indains, to the counties ofCarroll, De Kalb,
Gwinnett, Hall and Habersham, and to ex
tend the laws of this State over the same,
and for other purposes,” That afterwards,
to wit, in tiieyear 1529, the Legislature of
the said State of Georgia passed another act
which received the assent of the Governor,
on the 19th day of December ‘d’that year,
entitled “an act to add th< erritory lying
within the chartered limits of Georgia, non
in the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians, .
to the counties of Carroll, De Kallr, Gwin
nett, Hall, and Habcrslia.ni, and to extend
me laws ofthis State over the same, and to
unnn! all laws and ordinances made by the
Cherokee nation of Indians, and to provide
for the compensation of officers serving le
gal processes in said territory, and to regtt- ■
late the testimony of Indians, and to repeal
the ninth section of the act of 1828, on this I
•object.” The bill also refers to the act of
Congress of 1839, and to the acts of the Le- 1
gislature of Georgia, passed in 1830, “to
authorize the survey an 1 disposition of lands
within the limits of Georgia, tn the occupan
cy of the Cherokee Indians,” See.; “an act
to declare void ail contracts hereafter made
with the Cherokee Indians,” Sic.; “an act
to provide for the temporary disposal of the
improvements and possessions purchased
from certain Cherokee Indians and resi
dents; ami sundry other nets passed by the
Legislature of Georgia, relative to the coun
try occupied by the Cherokee Indians. In
short, it passed in review before the court,
nil the acts of jurisdiction which had been I
exercised by Georgia over them up to that
period.

PRESIDENT 1A L ELECTION.
Certain union men in Georgia are oppos
ed to Ah*. Van Buren, and in favor of Air.
White. We cannot condemn those union
men for this preference, if they conscien
tiously believe that Air. White, if elected
will pursue, in the administration of ti e
government, the policy of Geu. Jackson,
ts we, ourselves, were certain of this fact,
we would be satisfied with the choice of Air.
White, thougi Air. Van Buren would re
ceive oursupoort. But the supporters ol
Mr. White must be blind indeed, iftliey ex
pect him to follow the policy of the admin
istration, sliitihl he be elected by the whigs
and nullifies. It is notorious that the whigs
and nttliifie’s entertain a deadly hostility to
j the policy of the present administration ;
| and it is reasonable to suppose that they
would support a man for the ptesidency who
should be inclined to pursue a policy to
which they are so much opposed ? They
support Mr. White because they have pled
ges that i policy will be pursued, diametri
cally opaosite to the one pursued by the
present administration; and they oppose
Air. Van Bttren, because they know that he
is pledged to pursue the policy of President
Jackson in the administration of the Gov
ernment. If’union men are friends to the
present administration, they must act con
sistently, by supporting a man who is pled
ged to continue its policy. By acting oth
erwise, they may perhaps assist the enemies
of the administration, in placing in pow er
men who will certainly pursue a different
course in the administration of the govern
ment, than the one to which they seem to be
so very friendly. But why should those
tin on men support Mr. White and oppose
Mr. Van Buren, when they must be aware
that the election of the former is more than
questionable, that it is impossible. If’ so,
why should they make a common cause with
the enemies of the administration ? Why
should they contribute in placing in the
hands of those enemies, weapons which
w ill be used against all the friends of Gen.
Jackson ? Bat to show that Mr. White
cat not be elected, tinder any circumstances,
! we beg leave to call the attention of our
| tttiion friends opposed to Mr. Van Buren,
to the following statement, which, whatever
the whigs and nullifiers may say to the con
trary, must be admitted to be a trueand lib
eral estimate of the probable result of the
| election by the electoral colleges.
Maine and New Hampshire, 17 votes,
1 will certainly vote for Air. Van Buren.
| These 2 States have ahvays been democra
tic, and cannot be made to change.
Massachuseetts may be set down for Air.
Webster, though we have been informed
from good sources, that it would not be sur
prising if the votes of that State should be
given to Mr. Van Buren—l4 votes.
Rhode Island and Connecticut, 12 votes,
are certain for Air. Van Buren.
Vermont is set down for Gen. Harrison,
7 votes.
New York, j New Jersey, and Pennsyl
vania, 80 votes, are certain for Air. Van
Buren. A great many calculations have
been made abontPennsylvania, but this is
es-entially a democratic State, and the peo
ple are unchangeable; they are undevia
ting in their principles, and steadfast in
their predilections and friendship.
Delaware is placed for Gen. Harrison,
3 votes.
We have Alaryland among the doubtful
States, though we have information that the
State will go for Van Buren—lo votes.
Virginia cannot be doubted, this State
is certain for Van Buren—23 votes.
North Carolina is placed among the
doubtful States, Mr. White is a native of
that State—ls votes.
South Carolina, notwithstanding nullifi-1
cation, the Proclamation and the Bloody'
Bill, may vote for Air. White—ll votes. ■
Georgia isset down for Van Buren, not- •
withstanding a few of our union friends!
may vote w ith the niilliliers for the While |
electoral ticket—ll votes.
Kentucky is set down for Gen. Harrison, i
15 votes.
Tennessee is set down for Air. White,
though some signs show that the votesol
the State may be ultimately given to Alt*.
Van Bttren —15 votes.
Ohio is set down for Mr. Van Buren, as I
well as Indiana—3o votes.
Mississippi is set dow n doubtful, though
very little doubt exists that the votes will be
given to Van Buren—l votes.
Illinois is set down to Van Bttren.—s
votes.
Alabama is set down as doubtful—7
votes.
Alissouri is placed to Van Buren— 4
votes.
Louisianna i ; placed as doubtful, though
the last election is a sign that the State will
go for tl.e democratic candidate —5 votes.
ST AND All I) OF UN I
TII E
Michigan and Arkansas, G votes, xvillj
certainly go Van Buren.
Out ol 294 electoral votes, Air. Van Bu
ren will certainly receive 188 votes: Mr.
M ebster may receive 14; Mr. White 2G ;
General Harrison 25; and there remain j
doubtful 51 votes. Os these 41 doubtful
votes, may n< t Maryland, North Carolina,!
Mississippi, Alabama, or Louisiana, vote
lor Alt*. Van Buren ? A majority of the
electoral votesis 148, and Mr. Van Buren
is certain of 188, 40 more than the requi
site number, without giving him any vote
from the doubtful States. But, it maybe
said, Ohio is not so certain. We acknow
ledge that nothing is certain in this country
about elections until they are over; but as
mochas we can judge of the present feel
ings of the different sections of the country
we do not err in estimating those feelings to
be decidedly in favor of the election of Mr.
Van Bttren, and against eitlnr Mr. Web
ster, or Gen. Harrison, and much more
against Mr. White. Why then should
union men in Georgia support a man w hose
election is hopeless ? Why should they
support a man who could not administer the
government according to the policy of the
presentadininistration ? Why should they
continue to support a man who will be bound
to throw himself into rbe arms of the ene
mies of Gtn. Jackson ? We beg our union
friends to pause before they act; we beg
them to reflect on the consequences
of alienating themselves from the great body
of the rejttblican party, and of joining the
enemies of the present administration. Now*
is the time for reconciliation and a return
to the foil; ami now is the time to act to
gether fit* the good of our country. Let
us forge, the past and recollect that the re
pnblicanparty rave a great victory to a
c'.tieve, lefore they can sit down and enjoy
the fruit* of their political toils and exer
tions; ve entreat all our union friends to
join thereptiblican party in the accomplish
ment olso many desirable objects. Should,
however, some of our union friends be dis
satisfiel with the policy and measures of the
preset), administration, will they act consis
tently by opposing Air. Van Buren, and
supporting Air. White, who will be bound
to adopt another political course as he has
strongly indicated by bis votes at the late
session of Congress. If they are not dis
satisfied with the admsnistraiion, to be con
sistent they must vote for Van Buren.
From the Extra (llobe.
I Tivche plain reasons for plain people to
vote fur Marlin Van Buren as President.
1. His moral character is without re
proach.
2. He has strong natural genius.
3. He has improved it well by the study
I of the laws and the science of Government.
4. He has had long experience in public
! life, to aid both his natural talents ami use-
I ful studies.
5. He has always been, and is now, a
member of the democratic party —firm atid
j thorough in its venerated faith and doc-
I trines.
! 6. He has always enjoyed the confidence
! of the democratic party in the great State
to which he belongs, and particularly du
\ ring its exposed and perilous condition in
the late war.
7. He now enjoys the confidence of that
party generally throughout the Union, and
especially of such long tried democrats and
patriots as Nath. Macon and Andrtic
Jackson.
8. Hedoesnof enjoy the confidence of
that old and odious party, and its modern
, allies, w hich abused Thomas Jefferson, and
I pronounced James Madison, uorthy of a
halter.
9. He never will enjoy the confidence of
: nullification, Hartford Convention, blue
light, and Boston lederalism, in any shape
i root or branch.
19. He sprung from the humblest walks
;of I:l’.* among the people—he knows the
J feelings, intem ts, and wants of the people
and he is not ashamed of the support of the
pi ople.
11. At the same time, he has the true com
mand of temper suited to the storms of po
litical life in elevated stations, andthecour
: teous manners which gave grace and re
! spect to that frequent intercourse with the
I world, and especially with the representa-
I lives of foreign powers, which is required
of the Chief Magistrate of the greatest Re
public that now exists.
12. He is an ardent supporter of the Union,
and, at the same time, so devoted a friend
of Stale rights in their true constitutional
sense as to have been reproached for his
powerful endeavors to find them when lost
and to reserve them when endangered.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
ADVERTISING.
It is curious to hear thy complaints made
when a bill is presented for advertising
w hich has, by the oeglector of the adverti
ser himself run up to an amount which ap
pears rather large ; whereas there are no
accounts whatever which can be so easily
computed by both parties. Every paper
has its rates published in every number; the
I list is always before the reader. The price
i is is precisely so much for a certain number
! of lines, (say 8, 10, 12, or 15, according
[to the size of the type and width of
'] the column, being so arranged as to
| make the same number of letters) —
|ft is farther published that all adver-
I ttsement not marked to the contrary, will j
I be inserted until forbid and charged accor
dingly. The account can be far more de
finitely arranged than any merchant’s tic-
I count jtind yet it is not at all uncommon to
| bear of the “ rascally accounts made out by j
I the printers.”
I VVe have now on hand numerous accounts
some of them not falling far short of $ 100
for single advertisetnents of merely one and
and two squares whirl', whenever we present
them we are told by the advertisers are “ most
enourtnons” and that “ the advertisement
had not been worth to them a half or a quar
ter of the amount,” &c. But whose fault is
it? Certainly i*ot the printer’s ! He has
advertised his rates and his rules—rules
which are actually necessary to the carrying
on of his business; and every man who
advertises w ith those rules and rates before
he voluntarily enters into a contract to
whit*h he is legally bound and has no right
legal or moral to object. Look at the di.*- |
advantages ofa contrary system to the prin
ter. He never can tell how he stands with
the wo. Id—whether he can venture to im-
(I N.
prove or enlarge his paper; in fact he never <
can even balance his books! Now what t
would a merchant say if he found himself
in this predicament ? Suppose he should ;
sell a piece of cloth for $lO per yard, and
when he presented his bill be told that the
cloth had not been worth $ 3, because the
buyer was earless enough to ruin bis suit of
cloths the first time he had put it on or had
never worn it—that it was of no use to him
—and payment resisted on such grounds !
Would not every man ridicule such an idea?

Q. L. C. FRANKLIN, ESQ,
MIL VAN BUREN rs. ABOLITIONISM.
Mr. Van Buren is charged with extending tiie
right of suffrage to the free negroes of New
\ ork. It is false.
The old constitution of that state which was
formed long before Mr. \ an Buren was engaged
in political service, ex tended to the free negroes,
the untptalifted right of voting—A few years
since, when a new convention was called to re
model theold constitution, Mr. Van Buren was
a member, and was anxious to exclude them, and
finally succeeded in restraining them by a pro
perty qualification—by allowing none to vote,!
who were not worth two hundred and fifty dol- I
ars of taxable property, clear of all encutn- j
branccs. By this provision, th re being scarcely j
one in a hundred in possession ofthis qualifica
tion, very few of them get to the polls.
In the faceofall these facts, Mr. Van Buren
is still slandered and abused by the friends of
Judge White—when they know, that free ne
groes were allowed to vote in Tennessee, for
twenty-eight years, tinder the eye of Judge
White, and went to the polls for all that long
petiod, as freely as he did ; that he took no
measures to deprive them of the privilege ;
and it is only two years since they held a con
vention at which they were excluded and never
before.—What wasJudgc White about, during
the long period of twenty eight years, that he
never complained of the evil?
“ Men who live in glass houses, should not
throw stones.”
“ NOW’S THE DAY, AND NOW’S THE
HOUR.”
What can be more gratifying to the heart of
a union man, than tiie contemplation of the
struggles and triumphs of the last four years.
But tiie pleasure of success, and the glory of
victory, are nothing, when compared with the
great and happy results which are every where
apparent in the unparalleled prosperity, content
ment and happiness of the people.
Little more than four years ago, our country
was upon the verge ofa mighty convulsion. An
ambitious and disappointed individual, availing
himself of the just indignation of the south, a
gainst a measure of the federal government, of
the most unjust and oppressive tendency upon
the rights and interests of the people, blew up
an excitement in a neighboring State, which
threatened a dissolution of the Union.
Appealing to the passions of mqn, and the
interests of men, a party was soon formed in
South Carolina, which looked down all opposi
tion, and which avowed as its fundamental prin
ciple, the right of a State, to disregard or nulli
fy any and every act of the federal government,
which she might declare obnoxious to her opin
ions or interest, and to assume at pleasure, the
most unqualified sovereignty and independence ;
and that too, in the very face of the federal con
stitution.
No sooner were the plans of this reckless
and rampan t statesman matured in his own State,
than he turned his eyes to Georgia ; and a
gainst every reasonable estimate of the intelli
gence, the prudence and political sagacity of
her people, by the autumn of 1832, a;powerful
party was formed, and measures were in pro
gress to link us to the fortunes of Carolina, in
her headlong crusade against the constitution
and the union ; and among their numbers, were
found many of our talented and distinguished
citizens.
It was then that ths men who loved the U
nion and venerated the institutions of their
\ country, marched boldly to the rescue. They
rallied as one man to the banner of the constitu
• tion, threw themselves into the breach, and sa
ved the republic. e
But is there one who mingled in that day of
strife, that will ever forget the painful anxiety
with which he beheld the impending storm, or
who can cease to rejoice over the efforts which
he made, to avert its diieful effects from his
country ?
To the stern virtue and dex r oted patriotism of
the working men of the country—to the farmers
and mechanics, are we mainly indebted for the
victory, and to them must be ascribed the in
creasing strength and permanent ascendancy of
the union party; “ and verily they have their
reward.” They have seen the union preserx'ed
by their united exertions —they hax r e seen their
, liberties secured, and their country rapidly ad
vancing to a bright and glorious destiny. Be
hold ! The shield of the constitution is before
us —The banner of our country is over us—The
arms of the union are around us—and the soil
of’ freedom is beneath us.
Even our fathers who so nobly battled for our
independence, did not contemplate a day so
proud ; and could their immortal spirits be per
mitted to revisit the scenes of their earthly glo
ry, they would rise up and rejoice. Such are
the fruits of our toils and our triumphs—of the
struggles of thatdark and portentous hour, when
“ the broad stripes, and bright stars” of our
country were so triumphantly sustained amid
storms of tempest and fire.
“ The Federal Union” was “ Preserved!”
and those who rallied to the rescue in
that day of peril, will never “give up the
ship.” They will never commit the destinies
of themselves and their children to the guid
ance of principles so utterly hostile, to the
peace, independence, and permanency of this
great and happy confederacy. No! They will
i stand by the long cherished and well tried doc
trines of Washington—of Jefferson—of Madi
son and Jackson—doctrines which lie at the
foundation of the union creed and which alone,
can secure us against “ the eccentric and cen
trifugal tendency of the States,” or the consol
idating measures of the General Government.
Such were the principles xvhich actuated our
fathers “ in the times that tried mens souls.”
Such was the spirit which inspired those pure
and devoted patriots who formed our free con
stitution. Shall we abandon them now ? In the
full fruition of their labors and their hopes—ln
the plenitude of all the blessings, sent down in
answer to their prayers and benedictions, shall
we turn away to new and unknown idols ? No !
We will hallow their names and perpetuate their
principles.—Our watch word shall be “ Union
and Liberty—Liberty and Union—What
God HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NOT MAN PUT
asunder.” Up Union men ! for “ now’s the
day, and now’s the hour.” The nullifiers have
changed their name, but not their principles.
Rest not in security, for while you sleep, “ the
strongman armed” may come. Your adversa
ries neither “ slumber nor sleep.” They are
moving heaven and earth to defeat you, and
whatever they can do by strength or stratagem,
will be done.
To that portion of the union party, who enter
tain conscientious objections to voting for Mr.
Van Buren, we would speak, in the spirit of
brotherly kindness. We would dictate a ticket to
no fellow-citizen, were it in our power, against
his own free will, such is our reverence for the
[ elective franchise, for the freedom of opinion
and the freedom of action—but we would say
I to our friends, when partially differing upon de
bateable questions, “ come and let us reason to-
I gethcr.”
It is well known, that the nullifiersnow claim
that portion of our friends, as “White Union
men,” and calculate with their aid, to defeat the
ticket which has been nominated with great u
nanimity by the Union party, and which if suc
cessful will vote in favor of Martin Van Buren;
but if we are not greatly mistaken, they have
arrived at the most hasty and ill founded con
clusions.
Because there arc members of the Union par
ty, who object to Mr. Van Buren, the nullifiers
atoncc set them down as White men, when in
many instances, nothing could be more errone
ous. Does it follow of course, that because a
man has objections to onecandidate, the other
i> acceptable ? No! for it often happens, that
one may be as objectionable as the other; and’
in the present instance, we feel assured, that
inostol the union men who cannot reconcile it*
to themselves to vote for Mr. Van Buren, will
not vote for Judge White; upon the ground,,
that if they cannot help their friends, they wilb
not injure them ; and above all ! that they will
prefer to stand upon neutral ground in that con
test, sooner than associate themselves with the
nullifiers, and thereby aid them iu gaininga vic
tory over the union party.
But in the present aspect of the Presidential
question we by no means despair of convincing
those ol our party at present unfriendly to Mr».
Van Buren’s election, that they will run a much
greater hazard in supporting Judge White, and
that their votes may be in the end, bestowed up
on an individual wholly obnoxious to their prin
ciples, and this we will do in good faith and sin
cerity.
In the first place it is openly avowed by the
nullifiers, that they will support either of the
candidates for the Presidency, in preference to
Mr. Van Buren, and such we believe to be the
understanding of the opposition in every quarter
of the Union. In Virginia, particularly, a joint
ticket is running for Electors, and if it succeeds,
the votes are to be given to White or Harrison
as the case may be, when the day of election
arrives, and it is no doubt the case in every
state, where an opposition ticket is run, adding
to the list of contingencies in some, the name
of Daniel Webster.
The White ticket then, which is running in
Georgia, cannot be considered exclusively in
favor.of his election, but a sort of contingent
fund, to be appropriated to Judge White if his
prospects look best in December—or to Harri
son if ho is considered the strongest—and in
the last resort to Daniel Webster if he should
happen to be the favorite on the day of elec
tion. z
This is no fancy picture, but is truly drawn
from the living, moving features of the times ;
and no one who roads their leading prints from
every quarter of the union, can question its cor
rectness.
In a case so full of contingency, where a par
ty holds up three candidates for one office, not
with the remotest prospect of electing either in
an open and manly contest, and where the prin
ciple of “ triajuncta in uno,” is their motto,
it is the duty* of every good citizen, before he
bestows his suffrage upon either, to acquaint
himself with the character, the talents, and poli
tical principles of ail, otherwise, no man could
vote understandingly.
If the contest was alone between Mr. Van
Buren and Judge White, every one who voted
for White would do so with his eyes open, and
with a full knowledge that his vote would not be
transferred or used for the benefit of another ;
but in the present state of things the man who
honestly puts his vote into the Ballot Box for
White, and wishes him elected, may find after
the first Wednesday in December, that he has
actually voted for Harrison or Webster; so that
those of the union party who vote the White
ticket, will by so doing, place their suffrages in
the pockets of the nullifiers, to be used as may
best suit their purposes. This is just as certain
and undeniable, as that the nullifiers prefer eith
er White, Harrison or Webster to Van Buren,
which we presume, will never be contradict
ed.
But we wauld ask our brethren, if upon a
calm and considerate review of the political
course of Judge White, they can reconcile it to
their principles and predilections to support
him ? Union men are Jackson men, and have
been the firm pillars and efficient advocates of
his administration, and time has only served to
strengthen their just estimate, and high admira
tion of his character, and measures. Do they
desire to see the principles of his administ.a ian
ox*ertiirned, or will they vote for any man for
the Presidency with a knowledge that he would
reverse those measures? We think not. What
then, have they to expect from Judge White ?
Nothing ; for he has arrayed himself against
General Jackson and hisaministration andstands
in as open and undisguised hostility to both, as
Clay or Calhoun. But if he was even friendly
t) the administration, and elected by the opposi
tion, who could expect him to carry out its mea
sures when the great body of his supporters are in
open arms against them ? He could not do it
if he would, because those who elect him, if he
succeeds, will dictate the features of his admin
istration.
Suppose the lot should fall upon Harrison ?
An old John Adams federalist—a tariff man—.
a Bank man—an Internal improvement man—
and an abolitionist. Will a Union man consent,
to place his vote upon any contingency
by which it could be given to him ?
In the last resort, it might happen., thjit Mr.
Webster would come in ahead. Is there a u
nion man who would risk the possibility of cast
ing his vote in favor of a mail \v.ho refused to
rejoice at the victories of his counpymen ?
The whole matter resolves itself into this.
There are four candidates for the Presidency,
Martin Win Buren the friend of General Jack
son, who is pledged to carry out bis measures and
act upon the principles of his administration—
a decided Democrat, and uncompromisingly op
posed. to the abolitionists. A union man in heart
and soul, on the one side and on the other,
White, Harrison and Webster, all running in
conjunction, and all opposed to Jacksons ad
ministration, and to the union party throughout
the union. From such materials a President is
to be made, and we appeal to the friends of the
union to stand together as they have done, and
to give their support to the man who will best.
