have been made without difficulty for the United States, difficulty have al ways occurred when the Georgia com pact was to be fulfilled. But, Mr. President, coitfii-Aiig this examination to the Cherokee tribe, look at the singular facts presented by the history of the purchases made from them since 1802. By l*e report of the Secretary of Wur, of 30th March, 1824. alt the lands purchased for Georgia from the Chcrokces since 1802, is 995,310 acres; 295,310 by the treaty of 1817, and 700,000 by the treaty of the 27 in Ecb 1819; ot about 3,000.000 of acres occupied by the tribe iu 1802. not one fifth part has yet been obtained under the promise of the General Government, it may tie imagined, Sir, that this has arisen from the impracticability of making purchases ti ‘un this tribe. ‘I hey have been unwilling peaceably to sell on reasonable terms. What will the Se nate think of the obligations of truth and justice in the performance of a greements. when 1 inform them that within that period, more land has been purchased from the tiibe than was claimed by them in Georgia, foi Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, 8;542*5-40 acres have been obtained by the succesKivt arrangements of 1805, 180 G, 1816. 1819. We saw ourselves postponed, time after time, to suit the convenience >f other States, without murmur Complaint would have been justified; it was not made; we relied upon the good faith of the Government for a performance of its obligations in -rea sociable time. How vainly, we but too soon discovered. The facts just stated shew to the Senate that the Chcroketfs, without difficulty, sur rendered more land than was claimed by Georgia. Why the convenience of some of the States was consulted in preference to the performance of a sol emu promise, has never been explain ed. Hot this is not ail, through the agency of Gen. Jackson, a contract Wes made with the Cherokees, by whit ii their removal from Georgia was secured; a contract made at their instance, and for theSparticular accom modation oßliut portion of the Cher ukees,’ who occupied tiie Lower Towns, Ij ing in Georgia, who dash ed to remove to the West, to continue the lnmtei *8 life; the Upper Towns, Jy irg out of Geoi gia, desiring to re main permanently where tlvy -*!•. 1 his contract was hut partially e.xo ..uted; in the partial execution of it, ihe interests ol Georgia were aaiiili fired to the policy of the Fedeial Gov eminent. ‘The Cherokees who wish ed to remain, threw every obstacle in the way of emigration proposed. The, agent, Mr. Minn, states, in his official repoit to the Secretary of War, that the poor creatures wljo were disposed to remove, terrified b’ heir headmen, weretifrfcid public! approoch to consult him, ot* to enrol Iheir names ns required by the contract.

Ihe Lbrrokces in Georgia, am. to Ihe whole tr.be was hold out the idea of a permanent 11 sidem e on the spot they thru occupied, with a view to tln ir civilization. This new r raiigcment led us to believe that Mr. Monroe** administration was not dis P"*d to art fairly towards the State. 1 mean not to prove or to assert that tins iieiirf was well founded, 1 seek to produce no unpleasant feelings, mere ly t< shew the simple fact that the be. lief prevail, and. Under the impression thai we were suffering by premeditat es injustice, we quarrelled with Mr. unroe, m wo would have quarrelled with any other President. We ex pressed our opinion in strong terms* and met the usual fate of those who dispute with persons holding the pat ronage and power of Government. We were abused and calumniated by all those who hoped any thing from the administration, as the price of their industrious malice* XLte memorial* of tho State Legisla ture to the Executive were disregard ed, and the memorials of the Cherokee chiefs, praying that no further appli cations should he made to buy lands from them, was sent to Congresp; and finally, a message from the President, connected the compact with Georgia, with his project of Indian Western Government. Against this disastrous conjunction, considered a* an indefin ite postponement of justice to the State, we raised our voices and our hands. The right of the State was defended by committees of the House of Representatives, and so far sustain ed that appropriations were made for a further extinguishment of Indian title in Georgia. Under the first appropriation, ncgoliou with the G’he oktes was opened—it failed. Under the second a contract was formed with the Creeks. ‘lie; incidents and re suit of that contract are well known. 1 will not dwell upon them unless compelled to it. I have no wish to revive the remembrance of disgrace ful transai lions, not lo indulge unman ly triumph over our defeated adversa ries. It is well known, Sir, that in those Creek disturbances, the Cher okees, with a view to find support for their own pretensions, were active in tertneddlers. CABINET. IVAItItJKJKTOJW JXJJS'E 26, 1830 Wc have been informed and, the information is derived from good authority, that the most powerful exertions are in oper ation, by the Clark party, to carry the elections next Octo ber- Letters have been writ ten by leaders in Milledgeville t > their friends in the several counties of the State, And why these exertions? To ena ble a fuv: ambitious and design ing men to monopolize the principal offices in the state. Thus the great mass of the Clark party are made tools to subserve the views of a few leaders. The Clark party j should open their eyes to the machinations of such men. There are many men belonging to the Clark party, for whom we have a great respect, and who, if they were not blinded by prejudice, and led astray by the designing, would abandon a party which has not been of any benefit to the state, for the purpose ofjoining and co-oper ating with the republican party, in maintaining the l ights of the state, and in promoting its best interests; for to disunion a mong us must be ascribed the delay in obtaining justice from the federal government, and the obstacles which have been thrown in the way of internal improvements in Georgia. We shall hope for the best. The Troup party should be alive and wide awake—their opponents are in the field—they must be met and conquered^ ” [communicated.] For the RURAL CABINET. Well; preparations are mak ing for the election campaign which is to terminate in October nex'; every candidate, and ev ery friend, is mus tering his forces, in order to meet the enemy in proper time, equipped and accoutred, “as the law directs.’* For Con gress numerous candidates have been announced or spoken of besides the present incumbents. Will the contest be a warm and close one? We believe not. 7'he present delegation will as it should be re-elected. They have done there duty in Con gress; they have succeeded in procuring for Georgia the pas sage of a bill which will relieve us of a great public burden, and place the Indians in a better situation than the one in which they are placed. If our mem bers of Congress have done their duty; if they are capable; and qualified for the station they occupy; why change them, and send others, of whom we know nothing, at least in point of ability and devotion to the best interests of Georgia, and the democratic principles taught by Jefferson? 7’hose gentlemen that heve been spo ken of may be good men, but they have not been tried, and the crisis at which the nnlitirai anairs ot this country have ar rived, demands that we should have in Congress, men of tried principles. General 7homp son has been tried; Mr. Wilde also; Mr. Haynes also: Judge Wayne, Mr. Foster, and Col. Lamar, also: and Mr. Wilson Lumpkin has been tried also, he is a good member of Con gress, which shows that th re are men of some usefulness in the Clark party, who deserve the good will of the republican party. In opposition to our present delegation, who have been an nounced and spoken of? 7 ? he only one regularly an nounced is Mr John Billups, of Oglethorpe county, a young man of tine promise, who, by and by, will be a useful member of the community, and a good politician and statesman. j Os those spoken of, Col. Warren Jourdan is one. 7'his gentleman, to be elected to Congress, will have to bargain for a seat there, as he did for, the speaker's chair. Mr. Eli S. Shorter connot be elected, notwithstanding the re commendation of certain polit ical leaders of the Clark party in Milledgeville, with whom he is particularly intimate, and with whom he has exchanged acts of kindness , On the Clark side, Judge 1 Schley, Dr, Fort, Judge McDotu i aid and John A, Cuthbert, have | been spoken of. None of these gentlemen will” do, ~~They a t belong to the latitudenarian school, they would not fee] no conpunction to sell, by trea ty, the state of Geoigia m Great Britain or some oilier power. One of the four once publicly declared, that the fed eral government had the power to sell any slate ot the Union; It would not do to send sud: men to Congress as Georgia is at this time most obnoxious to northern politicians andpbihm thropists? the north, cast, and west, might combine, and, \v. b the assistance of our deU ga. tion, should Messrs. Fort, Schley, Cuthbert, and Mcßon-* aid be elected, convoy awav our good state of Georgia, and all the people therein, to the Emperor of Monornotapa. No, no, this would not do. After all considering, our present de legation have done well: let us continue them, say we, t We shail retuni to 11 \ls sub ject.
