Congress,—We can but re
iterate our regret, that our li

ther the highly laudable dispo
sition of our members in con
gress, to furnish their constitu
ents with the earliest informa
tion, in relation to all subjects
connected with our state or na
tional affairs, Witlmi the last
-week, we Imve received sundry
Tspjhly interestirjg public docu

Haynes, and Lamar.

clusive—it should set the pie
farians at rest, unless indeed
they would rather stop the
“Wheels of government as well
as those of the mail coaches.
We thall endeavor to lay this
at large before our reu
*• tiers. It concludes with a re
solution that the committee be
*lb charged from the further
‘■scon su leration of the subject,
Mr Boil s report from the Com
trmt ee on Indian Affairs, to
who rn was referred that part
of ik >e first message of the Pre

<huri Affairs,”and also, sundry
Koeo. lulions and Memorials up
on tl ic same subject, with the
auer fl apanying documents will
he re ad with intense interest by
every sincere enquirer for
truth. It concludes with a bill
to pro viije for the removal of
thc4u iliaji Tribes within any of
the St atiis and Territories, and
for ihi ir permanent settlement
West •of the Mississippi. It is
an abl e a nd lucid vindication of
the pol ’icy of the administration

for be; /mud question, the great
hauls of the present session

thougl i it may be hot and long,!
defeat will attend the pseudo I
phiko thr opist, and their semi
red allies, aud victory will
perch on the banner of the
friends of emigration. It is
-gratifying to Georgians to find
that, even in the skirmishing of
out posts, our delegation, to a
man, are ever on the alert, and
have, unilbrmfy, either foiled
their antagonists or put them to
route. On the I7thinst.in the
House of Representatives, it
was decided by a majority of
057 to 7, that the House ad

The New Hampshire elec
tion, it is pretty well ascertain
ed, has terminated in favor of
1® i
the friends of the preient ad I
ministration, by an increased
majority. This triumph is ren
dered doubly gratifying, as it
will ensure the re-election of
the Hon. Levi Woodbury to
the Senate of the U. States,
Mr. Woodbury is at present
the sole representative in the
Senate, ol the Democracy of
New England.
By late arrivals at Savannah,

We copy the following from
the Georgian of the sad inst.—
Parliament met on the 3d of Febru
ary, when the Kings Speech was de
livered by commission. It will be
lound below. It is consider'd by both
the English aud Frericb newspapers as
more than usually indefinite and un
satisfactory. In the debatt upon the
reply of both houses of Parliament,
the opposition made to it vas princi
pally 01 the ground that its reference
t the distress of the country was not
correct, representing it as partial
when it was in fact universal. The
ministry, on the contrary, contended
that the Foreign trade aB well as the
internal had actually increased, whilst
they admitted the distresses of the
manufacturing and agricultural inter
est. The address, which as usual, is
a mere echo of the speech was carried
in the House of Lords, 71 to 9, and
in the Commons agaiust an amend
incut, 158 to 105.
iVir. O’Connell, in supporting the
amendment to the usual answer of the
Iviijg‘s speech, w hich he considered
as unsatisfactory and inconsistent,
said— 6< an honorable member near
tim had made some allusions to the
speeches in other countries, and par
ti( ulariy in America. Did he think,
that eyen in France such a speech
would be endured, or from a President
of America addressing the genuine
representatives of the people? Con
trast it with the Presidents late
speech—look at the wise and sound
sentiments that speech contained, aud
he asked if this Douse were the un
doubted representatives of the people
at large, whether such a speech as that
now read would be offered? (Hear!
hear!)
Im reply to Mr. O’Connell's re
marks on lhe President's Message,
Mr. Peel said—a comparison had
been drawn, unfavorable to the latter,
between the President's Message and
his Majesty*B speech. The manner in
which England was mentioned by the
President, he added gave his Majes
ty ‘s government, in common with all
other classes of their subjects, the
sincerest pleasure; and he was glad of
that opportunity to repeat the expres
sions of amity and friendship used by
that distinguished man when speaking
of this country.’—.(Mr. P. here re
peated that part of the President's
Message which applied to England.)
in an ad ress by Mr. O’Connell at
a dinner given to him previous to his
departure from Ireland, he also refer
red to the Message of the President.
“In little more than tec days, he said,
we shall have what is called the King's
Speech from the Throne. Will it re
soluble the American President’s Mes
sage? >\ ill it talk of lessening taxes—
will it ask what is to he done with su
perabundant revenue's beyond what
was required by the necessities of the
state? Will it speak of a diminution of
the naval and military force? Will the
British Parliament be told, as the A
merican President told the Congress,
that one great security for general
liberty w as, that each particular state
had its seperate Legislature?—[Laud
Cheers.] Mr. O’Conneli stated it to
be his intention to bring before Par
liament, the darling object of his soli
vitude—the restoration to Ireland of
her domestic Legislature,” j

We learn from the Montgomery
(Alabama) Planters Gazette, that an
order has been issued by the Secreta

and for his deliv ry over to the civil

The City Council of this place have
disignated the road leading hence by
Appling, [Columbia, C. H.] and Cob
ham to Washington, as one on which
a portion of the public hands shall be
employed—on condition that the
Counties of Columbia and Wilkes will
erect a safe, convenient, and durable
free Bridge across Little River, at the
old Fishdam Ford; We hope these
terms will be promptly acceded to by
the Justices of the Inferior Courts of
the two Counties, for their mutual
benifit—or, if they decline, that the
nigbborhood zeal and public spirit will
be enlisted to effect the object.

By the report of the Inspector of
the Penitentiary of the state for the
fourth quarter of the past year, it ap
pears, that it has during the whole
year been conducted without expense
to the state, leaving at its close a ba
lance of cash on hand of 2,313 do!
lars 17 cents, or 8246, 54 more than
at the same period of the preceding
year. The number of convicts recei
ved during the year 31— the dis
charges on expiration of sentence 10,
pardoned 9, and died 4.
From the statement of the accounts
of the prison; it appears that “if thej
Institution can collect promptly all
the debts that are due it on the busi-1
ness of the year 1829, and a small
sum of the debts due to it on the old
business—do the same business in all
respects for the year 1830, that it has
done for 1829—that is, make the]
same amount of cash sales—the same j
amount of sales on credit, and the
same amount of collections from these
sales, it may, at the end of 1830, have j
supported itself, have paid all the
debts, within a small sum, due by it
since the first of 1829, and have the
means of going on in the year 1831,
prosperously, and without expense to
the State.” Sav. Georgian.
The National Intelligencer says,
it is understood that Commodore Por
ter, was on the preceding day,
(Thursday, 11th insr.) nominated by;
the President to the Senate as Consul j
General to the Barbary powers. This, 1
it appears to us would be a most ju
dicious appointment. The presence
of a representative of such decision,
firmness and reputation as a naval of
ficer, would command the respect, and
secure the good faith of the lawless
barbarians of the African coast.
From the Constitutionalist •
The present, they say, is the age of
discovery and improvement in the
nrts, sciences, and letters, and verily
it may have been added, in all the
mock philanthropy which a bad heart,
or a disordered immaginatinn are
jointly, or severally, capable of en
gendering. Missions are undertaken
to distant lands to civilize and enlight
en the barbarian, and although men
be in darkness at home, and are
Btumblingat every step of their way,
yet with that spirit of improvement,
peculiar to the age, they become pil
grims to strangers and savages, and
with their eyes but half open are seek
ing to scatter abroad the benefits of
light, truth, and knowledge. As in
the day of Hudibras, men went **a
Colonclling,’ so now with the same
intent, but with infinitely more mis
chievous effect, they go pamphle
teering,’ displaying the red flag to all
who are not disposed to admit the
rights which they claim for their
Cherokee savage, and for another
race in the South, in whose fate they
se* m to take a still greater interestJ

It is said that the principles t|„..
professed struck not only at the r
of a certain species of property, but
absolutely endangered the lives vr*
citizens. Strange to say. this pump!,,
let was sent among us—and stiii
wonderful* there was found iu Geor
gia, but not a Georgian, a man so
tranged to every moral principle—
so dead to every thing like gratitude
to the people who had received cvid
supported him* as to conseut to dis
seminate these seeds of death and de
struction. The just indignation of an
injured people drove this “devil iacar

little hope but that he will wander an

there will be a mark set upon him.
by which all fried shall know him. We
bad hoped that this was the last,
pamphlet of the sort with which om
citizens would have been edified; j n
this we were mistaken. We have a
book now lying upon our table, enf/t
----led William Pen , bound in blue paper,-
and printed by one Kite in Philadd*
phia, whi* h although not so black
and wicked in intent, nor likely to be
so mischievous in effect as the pamph
j let above alluded to, yet is such a
jduction as is calculated in its present 1
j form to retard the removal of the I udi
ans west of the Mississippi, If its cir
jculation could be confined to sensible
and virtuous men, we would have no
fear of it; but it will be very apt t>
find its way to the Indian Nation, and
whether it be a reasonable, or an uu
reasonable production will then bej>f
no avail. It will be sufficient for tW
Cherokees to know that there are meo
north of Masons and Dixson‘B line
who oppose their removal. The*
knowledge ot this fact will make then
bold and assuming, perhaps excite
them to deeds of hostility and vio
lence. They will not* even if they
were capable, stop to enquire if (he
pamphlet be well written, or not—
whether it contains correct premise©
and just conclusions-or whether it b©
one of the thousand lame and misera
ble abortions with which the Ameri-’
can press is daily teeming. It will
suffice them to kuow that the author
takes part with them; —as soon a*
that is ascertained they will be told,*
and readily believe, that this is a
great book, written by a great man,
containing the first and immutable
principles of truth and justice, and,
that the whole work demonstrates the
impropriety of forcing them to emi
grate beyond the great river Missis
sippi. Even rational men are apt to
believe that the sinuosities of the So
phist are the true demonstrations of
reason when interest throws her film
over their eyes; then how much more,
easily may these ignorant and heated
barbarians be brought to believe that
this pamphlet which is the very anti
thesis of sense and reason, is the text
book which contains the guarantee of
their safety. This is the way in which
this Philadelphia pamphlet is to do us
an injury. In this city, and in
our enlightened counties it might cir
culate to eternity; and no one would
feel its consequence; it is amo’.g the
ignorant and evil minded that its ef
fects will be pernicious.
We are glad to hear that miß of our
most respectable Book-sellers refused
to receive this pamphlet upon any
terms;
