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.

I'rotn the Constitutionalist. 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? Centainly. And yet we should like some one to point us out the difference in the tw o cases ; for we profess we are not metaphy sicans enough to discover it. — Nat. Cour The people of Vickslmrgh, Mis. have subscribed $22,000 to build a theatre, and SIO,OOO to build a church.

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. | represent their viewsand their principlesand
