The Territory of this State is only 40 miles in cir eumferenro and its population abou T 7000 The republic was founded more than 1400 years ago, on moral principles, industry and equally, and has preserved its liberty and indepen dence amid all the wars and discords which have* raged around it.

HYDRO PHOBIA. The Bos on Commercial Gazette in; remarking on a horrible case of fly-f dropbobia, copied into that paper; from the Belfast Northern Whig, has the following paragraphs in which a reined) for the disease, certainly wor thy of being brought to the test of ex* periment, is suggested. A writer in the London Courier of the 30th September, calls the attention of the public to what be considers the most suitable plan of treatment when this disease lias actually taken place. We observe* says the writer, that in hydrophobia there is a constant thirst, and dryness of the skin —the pulse is quick and hard—the whole system ap pears to have undergone a violent change and nothing distresses the pa tient so much as the pain and difficulty in deglutition.—Under these circutn stances, were the patient to be placed in a warm or vapour bath, and kept there until perspiration take place; were the most suitable diaphoreticks had recorse- to, and the skin kept in a state of perspiration for some time— we, in reasoning from analogy, might be able to subdue the thirst, and febrile action, and,perhaps, by the exbalant arteries, throw off the disease from the Huids of the body. In corrobora tion of the views bore stated, the wri ter refers the reader to the following remarkchie case as reported in the publii Morning I’ost <>{ the 25th; “In my early days (says the narra tor) there lived in the neighborhood where 1 was brought up, a man who bad the misfortune to be bitten by a Warrenton, January 30, 1830. dog that was considered to be in a rabid state. Some time afterwads the man grew unw'ell, and almost immedi ately manlrstwl all the horrible i symptoms of by. ropliobia, which in creased to such an alarming degree, that his friends had come, to the reso lution of adopting the dreadful altern ative of putting an end to his exist ence by suffocation, and for this pur pose four men spred a bed on the floor, and forced th.c unfortunate man down upon it, covering him with an other bed, upon which they stretched themselves to prevent him getting breath, while his wife and a few rela tions were in another apartment a waiting the awful event. The strug gies and groanß of the unfortunate victim were for some time adequate to make human nature shudder, during which time his wife's feelings may be imagined but cannot he described; but after a little time the noise in the fatal apartment ceased, when she rushed in with frantic despair, and, with almost supernatural strength, forced the men from off her husband's body, declaring that let the consequence be what it w.;uld, she would let the Almighty take the manner of her husband's death in his own hands. When she removed the bed that lay upon him, he lay almost lifeless and so ardent had been his struggle, that the sweat had ousted from every pore in his skin, and in such a quantity, that it formed a small dam in the floor. After he was a short time exposed to the air, ho re vived and sat up, telling the by-stand ers tiiat his madness had entirely left him; and it was so in reality, for he lived long and happy with his wife, who had been so instrumental in sav. ing his life, and had by him a Urge family after Ills recovery. He died a natural death.” CO GKESS. senate.” January 11, 1830. Mr. Troup presented the protest of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, against the constitutionality of the late ta rilFact; which, on motion, was ordered to be laid on the table and printed. Mr Forgyth presented a memorial from the Legislature at the State of Georgia, in relation to the Public Lands/which was ordered to be laid on the table and print ed. Mr. Troup presented the petition of Thomas Paine, praying indemnification for losses sustained in the service of the U States; referred to the committee on claims. The following resolution was submitted by Mr. Forsyth, and agreed to on Friday last, viz.

States for the regulation of trade and intercourse wjth the Indians. 60 as to exempt expressly from their operation, the territory occupied by any Indians within a State over whom, as tribes or in dividuals. the laws of the State have been, or may be extended, by the legislature th eof. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. GEORGIA INDIANS. Upon the memorial presented by Mr. Verplanck, of sundry citizens of New York, on the subject of the Indian Lands in Georgia, and the reference of the question to the Committee on Indian Af fairs. Mr. Thompson, of Georgia, objected to the mea e ure proposed, and to the course pursued by the memorialists. It appear ed to him that the discussion of the ques tion in tl at stage of the affair, would be a mere waste of the time of the house. It wras not bis wish to cast reflections, upon any body of men, or even upon individual per sons’ but he must say that (bo impres- si(o he had received upon the subject was that the meeting might be assimilated to , o e in a grog-shop, interfering in matters iin which they could not be interested. In bis [Mr. Thompson 4 *] opinion, the whole gist of the question would undergo a pro per investigation through the medium of that part of the President"? message,’ which had been referred to the commit tee on Indian Affairs. He forbore to speak further respecting the subject mat ter of the question before them, because that was not the proper stage for its dis CIlSSIOi). Mr. Spencer,cf New York, said he had waited to see whether the mover of the memorial, or some other gentleman, would rise and rtpel the allusions of the gentleman who had just sat down Since this had not been done, he felt hims>‘M’ called upon to syeak as a representative of the State from which the memorial e manated. This was not the result of ‘a meeting in a grog shop,’ as has been so unjustly insinuated, but one of the utmos’ r and held in an enlightened and moral conmunity. The chairman of that Meeting was a Revolutionary officer, known, respected and beloved. Mr. S. said, he knew many of the individuals whose names were attached to the memo rial, and he knew their standing to be of the most respectable character; and the doctrine which had been here advanced, that they ought not to be heard that their respectful memorial ought not to be re ceived by this House, was one which he had not expected to hear advanced, an against which he must enter his solemn protest. The language of the memorial was decorous and respectful. It wa* true, it waß upon a delicate as well as an important subject; but however unfashion able the doctrines which it advocated, were upon this floor, or however much they might clash with his own senti inents or those of others, it was not to be submitted to that the respectable memo alists should be refused to be heard. He hop'd, therefore, that the memorial would have i*s appropriate reference to the Committee on Indian Affairs, and m**?- with that consideration and respectsu 1 treatment to which it was entitled. Mr. Wilde said, he did not intend dh* cussing the question of individual or State Rights He could see no necessity for the anxiety shown by the memorialists so the settlement of the affairs of Georgia with the Indians within the limits of her territory. In the course of his remark* Mr. Wilde said he had ever revered and, admired ihe homely, though valuable | maxim, that ‘if every body would take care of himself, every body would be well taken care of. What, said Mr. S. do these memorialists propose to do? They submit to us no distinct proposition —thoy complain nf nn particular griev ance; and how do they become the cura tors and conservators oi the Southern Indians. If these barbarous hordes, said Mr W. are sovereign and independent pow ers, to whom does it belong but to the President of the United States, to treat with them, and if they are not to be viewed in this light, but to be looked upon as subservient to the laws of the States within whose territories they reside, then why not leave them to the government of the institutions of those States? In rela tion to his own opinion upon the subject in which of the situations they were to be viewed, he had not perhaps sufficiently deliberated; but in either case he could not see how the memorialists were so far interested as to take the matter into their special keeping. With regard to the respectability of the memorialists alluded toby the gentleman from N. York, [Mr. Spencer] he had nothing to say- He be lieved one of them was the artist who had been employed by congress to adorn this House with the productions of his pencil. He, Mr; W believed that he had voted for him to perform those services, and he might still respect the man without sub scribing to his opinions He thought it would be proper for the Painter to stick to his pallet. Mr. W. concluded by say ing he would not oppose its reference to the committee, but he considered it due to himeif and his constituents, that Ins o pinion should be expressed upon it. Mr. Bell, of Tennessee among some other observations, which we could not distinctly hear, remarked that lie could see no well grounded reason why the re ftfrence of the memorial should not be made as proposed He alluded also to their respectability of the source from whence the memorial came. Mr. Drayton observed, that it would only be necessary for him to read certain passages in the memorial* in order to show that the language of it, in certain passages* was so indecorous as to render the docu ment unfit to be received bv that flue. The allegations made in it, rendered it unfit not only for the parties to present, but for the Hou*e to rei ive- Mr. Dray ton here read yarrious tssages from the memorial, which held ut that a judge ment would persue th parties opposing the principles which t advocated- He called the attention of the House to the citations which he had made; and he cal led upon the House, also to say, whether it was proper, however correct the doe grille might be in the bstract, that a peti tion or memorial couched in terms similar to those of the one under consideration, could he received by them If so, it seemed to him that every petition and memorial, no matter what might be its contents, must, as a matter of course, be received by them, and as it would appear, be acted upon. Mr Drayton corn*luded by observing that, in the remarks which tie had felt it incumbent on him to make, it had not beenjhis intention by any means to discuss, rimeh less to prejudge, the merits of the question He had not an t rived at a conclusion with respect to Ihe matter; it was difficult so to do; and inas much as he had an objection to every in terference with the independent right of a sovereign community, he should move that the memorial be laid upon the ta ble. Mr. Lumpkin requested hi* friend from South Carolina, who had just taken hie seat, to withdraw bis motion for a few minutes, in order to allow him [Mr. L.fan opportunity to submit a few observations to the House. Mr. Drayton assented Mi. Lumpkin said, he acknowledged, for it was known to all his acquaintance, that he waa sufficiently sensitive upon -abject* relating to himself. And it was known to this House, that lie was equally iso, upon all subje ts relating to the rights, honor and character of the people and State which he had the honor in part to represent. Moreover, he beloved lie bad not one corstituent, who would sus pect him as being deficient in zeal and fidelity upon all subjects relating to their interest Nevertheless be must express his deep regret, that this memorial, ema nating from a few enthusiastic citizens of New York, was not permitted to go to the Committee on Indian Affairs, without op position, and thereby have prevented this premature discussion. He regretted the motion of his colleague (at the time n was made) to lav this paper on the table; be cause, if it had been permitted (o go o the committee, we should have avoided this untimely consumption of time, and premature excitement of feeling upon a subject of deep and grave importance, not only to Georgia, but to the whole Union. Mr. L. said, that for two years past, by day and by night, in sickness and in health, he had used his best eftbtts to get the Indi an subject in a general and digested form before this House. The records and proceedings of this House would bear him out in saying, (hat the general plan for In dian emigration, now under the consider ation of Congress, had been repeatedly urged by him (Mr JL ) for two years past; and he would now take the liberty of saying that one of the greatest obstacles which had irapeaded his progress, and a he believed, his success, might be traced to the disposition in this House, prr ma turely to enter upon the discussion of* the Indian subject. It is known to this House, that the whole subject of our Indian relations, has been brought before Congress by the Pree ideot of th* United States, to bis No. 32.
