It left that city at to t mutes past 13 1* M. and arrived in Warrenlon at 5 minutes [last 3, where it met a line of horses furnish*'M by the enterprising mad contractor Mr. Knox, of Milledgeville. In an instant it was off, like an arrow, on its course for N. Orleans, in which city it will he rend, without an accident,, before 10 o’clock this <!a> We regret verv much that we are unable to tiive the Mes sage entire, its length will not admit of it—we insert, how ever, that part most interesting at piefont, to the (ieorgian. Extract from the .Message. r J lie > and nlttrjwr destiny of tlu Indian <ri**r within the limits <>f podip ot nur States, have bermne ob joe’s of nich interest and importance, ! if h s lonu !’en the p<i|i< y ~1 G- vern 1 i. ! *i n to in trod in r among then thej-rts ot civilization, in the boye of gradual ’ 1v reclaiming’ them from a wandering life. This policy lias, however, been •o 11 pled with another* wholly ineo.n paiible with its Aucrese. Professing a desire to civilize and settle them, we, have, at the same time, lost no oppor tunity to purchase iheii lands and thrust them further in the wilderness., By this means they have not only been kept in a wandering state, but been Iml to look upon us as unjust and indif ferent to their fate. Thus, though lavish in its expenditures upon the subject, Government has constantly defeated its <wn policy/ and the Indi ans in general receding further and further to the West, have retained their savag habits. A portion how ever, of the Southern tribes, having mingled much with the whites, and! made some progress in the arts of civilized life, have lately attempted to erect an independent Government within the limits of Georgia and Ala bam a These States, claiming to be the only Sovereigns within their terri ! topics, extended their laws over the Indians/ which induced the latter to call upon the United States, for the protection. Under theso cir umstanres, the question presented was, whether the General Government had a right to sustain those people in their preten tions? The Constitution declares, that “no new State shall be formed or e rected within the jurisdiction of any other State,” without the consent of its Legislature. If the Genereal G>v eminent is not permitted to tolerate the ere* tion of a confederate State within the territory of one of the mem bers of this Union, against her consent much less (ould i allow a foreign and independent government, to establish itself there. Georgia became a mem . her of the ’Confederacy which even tin ted in our federal union, as a sove reign State, always asserting her i loim to certain limits/ which, having , been originally defined in her cnloni ial charter, ami subsequently recogni zed in the treaty of peace, she has ever since < ontitiiied to e?<joy, except as they have been t ircumserihed by tier own voluntary transfer <f a par tion of hei territory to the U. S’ Ates, in the articles- of cession of 1802, Al abama was admired into tie* Uni-m on the same footing with the original States, with Uoundari<s winch were prescribed by Congress. There is no c onstitutional, conventional, or ! gal provision, which allows them less power over tho Indians within their borders, than is possessed by Maine or New York. Would the people of Mnine permit the P uobscot tribe ,to erect an indep ndent government within their State? and unless they hd. would il not he the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting sue h a measur.e? Would the people of New York permit each remnant ot the Six Nations within her borders, to declare itself an lode pendent people, under the protection of the United States? Could the In dians establish a separate republic on each of their reservations in Ohio? And if they were so disposed, would it be the duty of this Government tit 1 protect them in the attempt? If the I principle involved in the obvious an swrr to these questions be abandoned, if will follow that tlie objects of this! (jovernt: ent are reversed; and that it has become a part of its duty to aid in destroying the Si .{es which it was es tahlished to protect. Actuated by this view of the sub ject, I informed the Indians inhabiting 1 parts of Georgia and Alabama that their attempt to establish an independ out government would not be conute nam ed by the Executive of the United States, and advised them to emigrate beyond the Mississippi, or submit to the laws of those States. Our conduct towards these people is deeply interesting to our national icharacter. Their present condition, ‘contrasted with what they once tvere,! makes a most powerful . ppeal to our sympathies. Our ancestors f-umi them the uncontrolled o l the vnst regions. By persuasion ac t for- e, they have, been mme to reti > Iron river to river, and from nmu tain to mountain, until some of t 0 tribes have become x!in< t, and others have left but re -nanfs to serve, for a while, t eir once terrikG names. Surrounded by the uhij,., r with their arts of ivil z ttion, Wm h, by destroying the resour <\s of the V age, doom him to weakness and de > the fate of the Molipgan, tfie Narrlu gansiMt, and the- Delaware, is f, <ft 0> vertaking th- Choctaw, the ( her’ k and the Creek. I hat this fate sure ly awaits them, if they remain wi h in the limits of the States, does n>t admit of a doubt. Humanity aid ?ha. tional honor demand that every ff pt should be made to avert so great \ r ; .- I amity. It is (00 late to icq fire whether it w s just in the United States to include them and their ter ritory within the hounds of new State whose limits they could control That step cannot be retraced. A State cannot he dismembered by Con gress, or rcslricte I in the exercise ,{ tier ((institutional power. Isut il ie people of these States, and of every State actuated hy feelings of justice and regard for our national h nor, submit to you ihe interesting ques tion, whether something cannot he done, consistently with the rights of th States, to preserve this much in jur* and race? As means of effecting this end I sug gest, for your considcrati •1 , (he pro peiety if setting apart an ample district West of the Mississippi. ,e and without the limits of any State or T r ritory, ow formed,, to tie guarantied to the ludiiiu (eio s, as long hs t e*y shall occupy it; each tribe K if g a distinct control over tfi- por-io’} desig nated-for its use.
