invasion of our territory, and an act ol hos
tility. ,
These considerations go far to support in.
opinion that the framers of our Constitution
had not the Indian tribes in view, when they
ooened the courts of the Union to controver
sits between a state of the citizens thereof,
and foreign states.
In considering this subject, the habits and
usages of the Indians, in their intercourse
with their white neighbors, ought not to he
entirely disregarded. At the time the Con
stitution was framed, the ideaot appealing to
an American Court of justice iur an assertion
of right or a redress of wrongs had perhaps
ncvJr entered the mind of an Indian or of his
tribe. Their appeal was to the tomahawk, or
to the government. This was well understood
by the" tatesmen who framed the Constitu
tion of the United States, and might furnish
some reason for omitting to enumerate them
among the parties who might sue in the courts
of the Union. Be this as it may, the peculiar
relations between the United States and the
Indians occupying our territory are such,that
we should feci much difficulty in considering
them as designated by the term foreign state
were there no part of the Constitution which
might shed light on the meaning of these
words. But we think that in construing them
considerable aid is furnished by that clause
in the eighth section of the third article
which empowers Congress to “ regulate com
merce with foreign nations, among the seve
ral states, and with the Indian tribes.”
In this clause’thcy are as clearly contradis
tinguished by a name appropriate to them
selves, from foreign nations, as from the sei -
oral states composing thq Union. They arc
designated by a distinct appellation, and as :
this appellation can be applied to neither of!
the others, neither can the appellation distin
guishing either of the others be in fair con
struction applied to them. Ihe objects to
which the power of regulating commerce
g be directed, are divided into three dis
tinct classes—foreign nations, the several
|sta‘ ;, and Indian tribes. When framing
this article, the convention considered them
as entirely distinct. We cannot assume that
the distinction was lost in framing a subse
quent article, unless there be something in its
language to authorize the assumption.
The counsel for the plaintiffs contend that
the words “Indian tribes” were introduced
into the article empowering Congress to reg
[ulate commerce for the purpose ot removing
[those .oubts in which the management of I
|riian ..flairs was involved by the language of
the ninth article of the confederation. In
pending to give the whole power of managing
it hose affairs to the Government about to be
instituted, the convention confined it expli
citly, and omitted those qualifications which
embarrassed the exercise of it as granted in
the confedi ration This may be admitted with
out weakening the construction which has
been intimated. Had the Indian tribes been
ip “ign nations in the view of the convention,
t. exclusive power of regulating intercourse
w them might havo been and mostly proba
’ would hav been specifically given in
1. ,uage contra-distinguishing them from
foreign nations. Congress might have been
empowered “to regulate commerce with for
eign nations including the Indian tribes, and
among the several States.” This language
would have suggested itself to statesmen who
cor idered the Indian tribes as foreign na
fie s, and were yet desirous of mentioning
them particularly.
It has been also said that the same Words
have not necessarily the same meaning at
tached to them when found in diill rent parts
o' the same instrument. Their meaning is
trolled by the context. This is undoubt
ed y true. In Common langusge the same
has various meanings and the peculiar
sense in which it is used in any sentence is to
be determined by the context. This may not
be equally true with respect to proper names.
Foreign Nations is a general term, the appli
cation of which to Indian tribes when used in
the American Constitution is at best ex
tremely questionable. In one article in which
a power is given to be exercised in regard to
foreign nations generally & to the Indian tribes
particularly, they are mentioned as separate,
in terms clearly contra-distinguishing them
from each other. We perceive plainly that
h ; constitution in this article docs not com*
1 ehend Indian tribes in the general term
foreign nations, not we presume because a
tribe may not be a nation, but because it is not
foreign to the United State?. When after
wards the term foreign state is introduced, we
cannot imp ute to the convention the inttn
t on to desert its form r :n. aaing and to com
prehend Indian tries within it, unless the
context fer • that construction on us. We

1 lie cause ot Poland is not yet hopeless—
tne Poles, it is said, are still confident, and
prepared for the enemy—they will not sur

withdrawn from before Warsaw, without any
other general engagement.
I he French Cabinet had been new modell

amongst our selections, under the head of
r ranee. Private letters from Paris express
much anxiety in regard to some commotions
which were expected to take place there on
the 20th. These fears arise, we suppose, from
the circumstance that the 20th of March was
the anniversary o Napoleon’s return to Pa
ris from Elba, and also of the birth of his son.
'Pile second reading of the Reform Bill was
to have taken place on the 22d. Some op
position to the measure appears to have been
anticipated, particularly from the bankers,
merchants, &c. who consider the plan of min
isters too sweeping—they declare themselves
in favor of a more moderate reform. Lord
Altiiobp had convened a numerous meeting
of the members of Parliament friendly to the
measure, to confer upon the subject previous
to its being again brought tip.
Petitions in favor of and against Reform,
were getting up in Edinborough. One in fa
vor of Reform, received upwards of 24,000
signatures in Glasgow in the short period of
five days.
The reports of late commotions in Spain
were not entirely unfounded; but it is stated
that they were speedily appeased, and all
chances of a general insurrection prevented.
In the House ofCommons, on Monday, the
14th of March, the House resolved itself into
a committee on the Customs Duties Bill.
The Chancellor of the exchequer said, that
it was his duty now to carry into effect his
proposition, for imposing a duty on imported
cotton. This duty would not compensate for
the loss which the revenue would sustain from
the reduction of duty on printed calicoes.—
However, when he considered the improve
ment of the revenue .at present, as compared
with last year, he had no hesitation in saying,
that the amount of revenue would be ninplv
sufficient to meet the exigencies of the State,
lie concluded with moving that “It is the
opinion of this committee that a duty of ss.
lOd. be charged on every cwt. of Cotton
Wool, and waste Cotton Wool, imported from
foreign countries.”
After a few words from Mr. Heme, Mr.
Robinson, Mr. P. Thompson, Lord G. Sr.u
erset, Mr. Courtney, Mr. Goulburn and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the resolu
tion was agreed to.
When the House resumed, and Lord John
Russell brought in a bill “to amend the rep
resentation of England and Wales,” which
was received with loud cheering. It was
read by its title, and ordered to be read a se
cond time on the following monday.
On the 15th March, the Lord Advocate
brought in a hill for the improvement of the
representation of Scotland. It was read a first
time, and at the instance of the Lord Advo

THE B ALI..
“ Come, and trip it, ere ye go,
“ On the light fantastic toe.”
The hopping-tots, (as Salmagundi would call
them) of our dear and well beloved Macon, for the
purpose of proving that “extremes will some
times meet,” lately put their heads together, which
had such an effect upon their heels, that they forth
with declared they would have a Ball—and a
Ball they did have on Friday last, at the Town
Hall.
At an early hour there was a brilliant assem
blage of beauty and fashion. Our Orpheus' of
Friday evening’s Serenade, were there. Their
“ concord of swtset sounds,” soon gave an anima
ting impulse to the “ Poetry ol Motion.” There
were blue eyes & black eyes, hazle eyes & grey
eyes, red eyes & all sorts of eyes, Illuminating the
Room with all tire brilliancy of gaseous exhala
tions, and darting their living fires through every
fibre and artery of our hearts. Here, you wou.d
see a swift-focted Camilla, bounding in a merry
reel, like one of Tom Moore’s “dear Gazelles,”
accompanied by a Cotton Avenue Beau, straining
every muscle in his body to accomplish the flip
flap of a fashionable pigeon-wing. There, you
would catch the measured tread of a ctaid Penel
ope, ravelling and unravelling the mazes of a Co
tillion, and ever and anon seeking her lost Ulys
ses, confused and thrown from his position in the
whirl of a lively allemandc. And, glancing your
eyes farther, you would observe a Blue Stocking,
with all the stateliness of Juno, moving in silent
majesty through the animated circle, accompanied
by a Blafkstonian or Esculapiun, locking awfully
sublime. So danced the hours away, until the
belles retired to their “ rosy slumbers,” and the
beaux to dream that “ such things were.”
OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT.
This important document, which lias created so
much interest, is now officially before our readers.
In common with the advocates of State Rights,
the Decision is c.ne which we cannot but approve.
But the mode of reaching it—the palpable discre
pencies in the opinion —and the conflicting feel
ings which characterize it in its details, still in
duce us to regard, as unconstitutional & arbitrary,
the claim of power which is indirectly contended
for by the Court.
But where are the discrepances? Let us see if
w r e cannot point them out. The Opinion says,—
“ So much of the argument,” cf the counsel of the
plaintiffs, “as was intended to prove the the cha
racter of the Cherokees as a State, as a distinct po
litical society separated from others, capable ol
managing its own affairs, and governing itself,
has, in tho opinion of a majority cf the Judges,
been completely successful." I laving reached this
conclusion, the question then arose, “Do the Che
rokees constitute a foreign state, in the sensfe of
the Constitution?” The Opinion argues the point
with perspicuity and ability, and distinctly pro
nounces they are not! Then what kind or spe
cks of a State, arc they? One would reasonably
suppose, if the fact was established that the Che
rokees constituted a “ distinct, separate, political
state, capable of managing its own affairs, and go
verning itself, that the character of that state must
be either foreign or domestic/ But, no—the opin
ion docs not come to that deduction. It says,
that the Cherokees must be considered, in their
relation to the United States, as “pupil " as
“ wards," or as a “ domestic dependent nation." —
If the Cherokees are clothed with tire privileges
of “ manage., ng their own affairs, an i governing
themselves”—if, in the words of the Opinion,
they have a “ separate and distinct political" ex
istence—How then, we ask, in the namo of com
mon sense, can they bo wards?—How- can they be
pupils?—llow can they be a domestic dependent
nation.” The conclusion appears to us illogi
cal. They are first a state —stcondlj-, no State—
and finally, wards and pupils ! This may be ju
dicial logic, but we cannot see the reason of it. It
seems to us, to possess about as much soundness,
though not as much ingenuity, a3 that process ol
ratiocinating, which goes to prove that a Horse
Chcsnut is a dies nut Ilorsc!
But. this is not all. The strange fatuity which
so strongly marks the arguments of the Opinion,
iu that part of it which we have noticed, is equal
ly,and as glaringly displayed in the final conclu
sion at which the honorable Justiciaries arrive.
“On several of the matters (say they) alledged
in the bill, for example on the laws making it cri
minal to exercise the usual powers of self-govern
ment in their own country by the Cherokee. Nation,
this Court cannot interpose, at least in the form
in which those matters are presented." After read
ing this declaration, it must be a limited discern
ment which dees not admit that it is the unequi
vocal opinion of the Court, that there is a form, in
comonancc with th* technicalities of the profession,
which, had the legal acumen of Mr. Wirt, (the
counsel for the Cherokee Nation) hit upon, would
have supported and vindicated the claims of his,
client! But, it wculd not be believed, unless the
document was, as it is, staring us iu the face —
that in the very same breath, the Supreme Court
reverses the position which it assumed, anddc
stroys the ground upon which it reposed a condi
tional jurisdiction in the case. For, “Ifit be
true,” says the Court, “ that the Cherokee nation
have rights this is not the tribunal in which lhost
rights nr tele nanferl. If!* l.r true *h*:t wrongs
i have been inflicted, and that still greater are to be
apprehended, this is not the tribunal which can re
i dress the past Or prevent the future!”
\\ c said, in the commencement of this article,
i that we approved the decision of the Court. We
do so—.and that too most heartily; as a different
result would, probably, have produced Consequen
ces, dreadful even hi their contemplation it
might have precipitated a conflict that must have
inevitably ended in the annihilation of an unfor
tunate race. But, wo arc constrained to believe,
that we owe the Opinion of the Supreme Court,
more to the spirit of the times, than to any dispo
sition on its part to recognize the sovereign rights
of our State. Sustained as they were by a recent
act of Congress, and supported as they were
known to be, by the wise and humane policy of
an energetic administration, the time was not pro
pitious to the exercise of judicial tyranny.
(fj‘ \\ e here take occasion to notice the com
munication of “ A Subscriber.” We are flat
tered in his correspondence—for, as a gentleman
and scholar, we esteem him. We thank him for
the extract which he has sent us from Dr. Cran
king. There can bo none more ready than our
self, to admit the purity of tiiat gentleman’s prin
ciples, or to admire the high and commanding
tone of his genius. Let our correspondent, how
ever, reflect, that the beautiful and fascinating
portraiture which Dr. C. has drawn of our Judi
ciary, is taken from the outlines of the Constitu
tion, and that, the elegant author, had painted the
Judiciary, not as it is, but as it ought to be. — j
Viewing it in that light, we too reverence it. But j
when its features become obscured from their o
riginal conformation—when their harmonious
proportions are distorted, whether it be by the
touches of political prejudice, or superanuated
weakness, it is high time, we think, tiiat the cari
cature should be destroyed, and the original copy
restored.
PRESIDENT JACKSON.
In anticipation of the President of the l/nited
States visiting Charleston some time in the course
of the present summer, the citizens of Savannah
have solicited from that distinguished individual
a similar attention. W e respectfully beg leave
to suggest to our citizens and the municipal au
thorities an extension of tlio invitation to this
place. There are many airfong us, who have not
jet had the pleasure of seeing the man “ wfliom
the country delights to honor,” and who would
be happy to give him a cordial shake of the hand.
REVIEW OF THE CONTROVERSY.
The space which this able review occupies,
and which is attributed to the pen cf a talented
Jurist, compels us omit our usual variety. We
had intended some remarks upon it—but we have
net time at present* The Journal in speaking of
it, says:
“ The Review which We publish to day, will
be found to possess great interest. The author
brings Mr. Calhoun out from the midst of the mob
of words, and the rabble of inuendos, assertions,
arguments and documents, in which he had en
deavored to hide himself, and thus enables the
public to look at him singly and mono, and see
nun distinctly.”
FOREIGN.
Our advices are of a late date. See Foreign
head. The political state of the revolutionary
powers in Europe still continue unsettled. The
cause of Poland, it appears, is not so hopeless, as
was at first represented. Let the prayer of eve
ry patriot invoke the God of Battles for their suc
cess.
ASTRONOMICAL.
We learn from the last Savannah Georgian,
that a Mr. Wheeler has recently closed in that
city, an interesting course of lectures on Astrono
my, and taken his departure for the West, With
the intention of visiting Augusta, Milledgeville
and M aeon.
For (Ue Miiaou Advertiser.
The recent attempts to shake anl embarrass
the Judiciary of our country, must, have awaken
ed the fearful apprehensions of the coldest, patri
ot. A late decision of the Supreme Court should
have quieted the misgivings of those who had an
ticipated a concentration or usurpation of all civil
and political, as well as individual claims to jus*
tice in the hands of the Judiciary. Notwith
standing the decision of the Court to take cogni
zance cf no case which infringes upon the other
departments of the government, the vindictive
croakings and malevolent insinuations of partizan
zeal, indicate too clearly to be misunderstood,
that tliis venerable pillar of our social edifice is
yet to te exposed to the ruthless attacks of jaco
binical depravity.
In this unhappy state of party excitement, t! e
annexed view of the Judiciary, from the pen of
the llev. Ur. Cbanning, which I send you for
publication, are replete with interest. This true
and beautiful presentation of this safeguard of
the social system, cannot surely fail to increase
in our estimation, when we reflect it is from a
man in whose heart no vestigo of political ambi
tion lias ever yet been traced, —whose learning
and piety would not suffer in comparison with
the most learned and pious of any age -or coun
try' A SUBSCRIBER.
**** “There is, however, oirc branch of
government, which wc hold in high venera
tion, which wc account an unspeakable bles
sing, and which, for the world, wc would not
say a word to disparage; and wc are the more
disposed to speak ol it, because its relative
importance seems to us little understood. We
refer to the Judiciary, a department worth all
others in the government. W hilst politicians
expend their zeal on transient interests, which
perhaps derive their chief importance from
their connexion with a party, it is the prov
incc of tlie Judge to apply those solemn and
universal laws ol rectitude, on which the se
curity, industry, and prosperity of the indivi
dual and the State essentially depend. From
this tribunal, as from a sacred oracle, go forth
the responses of justice. To us there is no
thing in the whole fabric of civil institutions,
so interesting and imposing, as this impartial
and authoritative exposition of the principles
of moral legislation. The administration of
justice in this country, where a Judge, with-
guard. vit* ou a soldi* r. v ithout pomp.
decides upon the dearest interests of the cit
izen, trusting chiefly to the moral sentiment
of the community lor the execution of his de
crees, is the most beautiful and encouraging
aspect under which our government can be
viewed. We repeat it, there is nothing in
public affairs so venerable as the voice of
justice, speaking through her and legated min
isters, reaching and subduing the high as well
as the low, setting a defence around the splen
did mansion of wealth and the lowly hut of
poverty, repressing wrong, vindicating inno
cence, humbling the oppressor, and publish
ing the rights of human nature to every hu
man being. We confess we often turn with
pain and humiliation from the Hull of Con
gress, where we see the legislator forgetting
the majesty of his function, forgetting his re
lation to a vast and growing community, and
sacrificing to his party or to himself, the pub
lic weal; and it comforts us to turn to the
Court ot Justice, where the dispenser of the
laws, shutting his oar against all solicitations
ol friendship or interest, dissolving for a time
every private tie, forgetting public opinion,
and withstanding public feeling, asks only
what is right. To our Courts, the resorts and
refuge of weakness and innocence, we look
with hope and joy. Wc boast with a virtu
ous pride, that no breath of corruption has
yet tainted their pure air. To this depart
ment ot government, we cannot ascribe too
much importance. Over this, we cannot
watch too jealously. Every encroachment on
its independence wc should resent and repel,
as the chief wrong our country can sustain.
Wo, wo, to the impious hand, which would
shake this most sacred and precious column
of the social edifice.”

Dear Jane,
Did you go to the Ball last night?
The “.Stars” of the Town were there,
And 1 can assure you I was quite
Delighted —It was rare
To see so ninny damsels met
For pleasure’s sake, and then,
Oh! Jane—your words you’ll not forget—
So many “ugly men”!
There was Mr.-;. , the reigning belle,
And young Miss . the happy;
There was Mr. look'd very well,
Altho’ they say he’s sappy.
En passant —there was Mrs. Blank—
-1 danc’d with Ikt a reel,
And, oh, my lucky stars! I thank
Yc for this favor’d weal.
But I had a fall!—and “what a fall
My Countrymen, Was there;”
And when, dear Coz, I tell you all,
I know that 1 shall share
Your sympathies —and you must say,
My feelings you approve,
When I your kind assistance pray —
Dear Jane, I fell —in love!
It is a malady you know,
No Doctor’s skill can cure,
And really, ’tis corroding so,
I cannot long endure.
Do tell ine Coz, what shall I do,
To remedy the evil;
Should I, like cat, go crying “mew”?
’Twill drive me to the d-—-.
I have it, —I will go and see
This nymph of fairy land;
They say that she despises me,
I’ll offer her my hand,
And if another requisite
She asks —or else we part,
Why, rather than we there should split,
I’ll give avfay my heart!
