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 ir tin context, and nothing in the -a. :.mcle, which leads to it. - • ec u t nas bestowed its best attention -V:. :,\i um, and after mature do libera* majority is of opinion that an Indian .: m i.on within the l’.

The motion for an injunction is denied. “The Herald of a noisy world.” From the Charleston Courier of Thursday last. \ VERY LATE FROM EUROPE. The Br. ship Tamerlane, Capt. Miller, arrived in the offiing last evening, in a very i short passage from Greenock, having left tiiat i port on the 22d ult. \N e are indebted to Capt. M. for Green ock and Glasgow papers to the 22J ult. in clusive, brought up by the pilot boat Cora. 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 render—most of the Russian army had been withdrawn from before Warsaw, without any other general engagement. I he French Cabinet had been new modell ed, M. Laeitte had given place to M. Casi meu Perries, the other changes will be seen' 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 cate the second reading was ordered for the Friday week) Mr. Hunt presented a petition for enqui ry into the Manchester Massacre of 1819. lie said he was a witness to that massacre, and he hoped that it was not too late to get justice for those horrid murders ; he recolh ct ed that Gov. Wall was hanged 20 years after he was guilty of murder. On the 17th of March, the latest date we have of the proceedings in Parliament, noth ing transpired of any consequence. Prince Murat. —One of our last Liverpool papers says—“ Col. A. Murat, son of the late King of Naples, and nephew to Napoleon Bonaparte, lately arrived in town, [in Lon don probably] from North America. His ar rival in thiscountry is not agreeable to the Neapolitan Government, but the Italian pat riots have great expectancy in this young no bleman’s futurd conduct.” rwm-yßßragqMWjT w II —Bl Affairs of Poland, —The Warsaw Journal of the 4th, gives official accounts of the bat tles of the 24th and 25th February, in which the loss of the I’oks, in killed and wounded, is estimated at between 5,000 and 6,000 men. occasioned by the great superiority of the British artillery, amounting to 350 cannon; the loss of the Russians, who had four regi ments of guards in the battle, is stated at 15,000, It is inferred, from the silence about War saw, in letters from Berlin to the 1 Ith inst. that up to the Sth,the city had not. fallen.— M. 0. P. Q. in the Morning Chronicle, says, that on the 2d, the Poles were 00,000 strong under the walls of Warsaw. Extract of a letter in the London Morning Chronicle:—“l had concluded my letter when 1 received the most • gratifying intelli gence from Poland ! I have U amt from an eye-witness that the Russians arc not con querors—tiiat the Pol s ere confident and prepared for the enemy—that the moral state of the Polish army is the finest imaginable— that the Russians fear another general coin bat—that the Poles will not surrender—and that the cause is not only not lost, but is look ing better than ever.” London, march 16. — Affairs of Italy. — The movement in Italy continues to prosper. The papal troops took part with the liberals, and the Pope himself, it is believed was ob lige*! lo JLuadcaEoiuc at fin hcginr.ing of tois month. So singular a flight appears to mark other changes, than merely political ones. It is alleged, in the French papers, that the Austrian Ambassador in Paris had received despatche s from Vienna, commanding him to ask for his passports, and leave Paris immedi ately, provided the French Government op posed the intervention of Austria in the affairs I ol Italy. A r.ew levy of 80,000 men, called out by an ordinance, which appears in the Moniteurof Saturday, is perhaps more omi nous than Prince Me ttcrnich’s despatch.- Whether Marshal Soult pushes on hostilities or not, he seems to prepare for them on a great scale. Tnewlay, April tiO, 1831. 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.” For the Macon Advertiser.
