cabinet. ~waru k atom, march 27, mo. Congress,—We can but re iterate our regret, that our li mits will not permit us to fur 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 ments, from Messrs. Forsyth, Haynes, and Lamar. da* mads is masterly and con 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 %ulci it, w hich relates to “ lu <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 in roj ‘;ard to the aborigines, fen v.l u) usaml copies were or dered to be printed, and e‘er tins, i ire circulated in every portioi 1 of this widely extended I mou, irhis is as it should be, for be; /mud question, the great hauls of the present session wilt t3< on that subject, and 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 j tun ©nthe 17th day of May next. * ’ i i 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, London dates have been re ceived to the 6th February. 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 i V ** - • The President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Sen ate, has reappointed Jon* H. Morel, Esq. Marshal of the District o! Georgia. We learn from the Montgomery (Alabama) Planters Gazette, that an order has been issued by the Secreta ry at War, for the arrest of Tuskina, and for his deliv ry over to the civil authorities of Alabama; 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. Courier. 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 Our readers will remember that cer. ( tain pamphlets were made the subie, of severe legislation during i,i | ( , s ’ Legislature, aud subsequeuUy tj ” groundwork of a prosecution E. H. Burrett, in whose possess) l a number of them was afterward found. They were insurrectionary,! their character, and intended to ,| ( | more mischief than all the “multinK era” of the infamous man who soiigiit to disseminate them could calculated if multiplied together for! twelve month to come. 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 nate” from the state, and there is little hope but that he will wander an outcast for the balance of his life, and 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; We publish the documents to day, says the Georgian, of the 20th inst. accompa nying the Report of the Committee on Indian Affairs. They shew from nffi al sources the means tak*-n by the C'r eir and Cherokee Chiefs aod Half Breeds to
