They £.tas might naturally be expected from I heroes of 0.. r government, the decision of federal judiciary upon the validity of iheir title, and the Supreme court decided in cause of course was presented in its no st favorable aspect and the rights of an nnoceat purchaser under a law, which jiow ; ver iniquituously obtained, no constitutional provision, were pressed with all the force. The judges perhaps could not have decided otherwise, and the decision only proves that there are many abuses which no system of jurisprudence can correct.—But this adju- Heat ion, while it affirmed the naked right of ,i,e claimants, did not much advance their Buncdy. They had yet to prosecute the set ters individually and obtain possession by a tdious and expensive course of litigation, sales of the land had already been Jado under the authority of the federal gov niment. It became expedient therefore to miet the fears of the inhabitants by putting in end to this controversy. —After various ibortive efforts, an act of Congress passed, iSerintr terms of compromise to all the Yazoo claimants who would relinquish their title to j he United States The sum of $4,700,000 n stock was appropriated, and a hoard of ommissioners appointed to receive the prop r conveyances. Under this bill of peace, or which the country is in a great degree ndebted to the unwearied exertions of the lon. John Taylor, a Senator from South Carolina, all or’nearly all the claims have ieen surrendered, and the \ azoo tontroversy it length terminated. Having thus briefly recapitulated the load ng events of this huge iniquity, we may be lardoncd for indulging in a few reflections. The alienation of a fertite country, equal n extent to many European kingdoms, could j ink be justified bv the most irresistible ne- ( jcssity. If war liad shorn it away, after a j lansruimtaTy struggle, the sword might win j igain what the sword had lost; and an ex ■ torted treaty, while it ratified the conquest, j Would have left behind it no other reproach j ban that of weakness. To have yielded j inch a territory, had it been necessary, forl the preservation of her own independence, might have been politic in Georgia. To have sacrificed it to the harmony of the confeder acy, would have been magnanimous, if not wise. The citizen who loves his country as he ought, will perhaps find few other motives Wrong enough to excuse the relinquishment of so noble a patrimony. Whether its cession under any other circum- Ounces, however, ought to be stigmatized as sact of imbecility or not, its sale by a cor 'V Legislature, to companies of land jobbers *as certainly one of unmitigated baseness. But it is past. Georgia like the improvident Esau, has parted with her inheritance ; and tlmse who defrauded her of her birth right, tomplained of ffef bad faith when she endea voredtnreelaim it. By its loss she has shrunk lnt * a secondary power, driven to accept as favors what she should command as rights, arid losing with tiro fear and envy of others, something of their respect.

And there are many such; but not here must be their eulogy * * * * ft is a miserable consolation under these calamities to know, that most of those who practised the fraud derived no benefit from their wickedness; and if should abate a little of the Pharasaiacal presumption of some fair purchasers to learn, that they acquired what was never paid for. Such however is the truth. Many thousand acres were sold by the Georgians to Eastern adventurers, who gave their notes in payment, failed before they were due, assigned their interst in the land to more favorable creditors. Our surpi ise might be exeited, if there w> re fewer instances ofhuman frailty upon record, by discovering how many men of fair charac ters, who had done the state service in the field or in the Senate, were instrumental in procuring the agents of their country to be tray its interests. That they did so, no candid man who reads the testimony can doubt. Evert the advocates for the purchasers in their pamphlets do not attempt to disprove the fact: they content themselves withcalling the evidence ex parte. The testimony however, was not stronger up-! on which Lord Senderland, Mr. Secretary Craggs, and Mr. Aislabie were implicated in Law’s project. Upon the authority of this evidence, col lected by the legislature of Georgia, and af terwards published by'order of Congress, we j may assert, that all the members who voted j in the affirmative but o , >, had evidently been j corrupted. Of the whole transaction, there j can now be but one opinion. All treach ery is hateful, no matter on whom practised, and he who stoaps to offer, and he who is base enough to accept a bribe, are equally deserv ing of contempt. Such, at least for a long time, seems to have been the common senti ment ofGeorgiiq for all who were interested in the fraud and nearly all who were concern ed in the purchase, forfeited the confidence of their fellow' citizens. Some who were consi dered too young, too poor, or too ignorant, to have had any active agency in the project; were afterwards elected to insignificant offices, but few reached to any great distinction. It furnishes however,another melancholy in stance of the infirmity ofhuman virtue,or the instability of fortune, that one of the purcha sers was afterwards Governor of Georgia— while a Senator who had resisted all tempta tions to vote in favor of the bill, was subse quently dismissed from another office upon charges of corruption.” MR.

The criticism | passed by the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer j seems to he correct. The letter was written { in French, and the error is of the translation in London. There is another rror in point j of fact, viz: that the claims of the French c it- j izens were on account of seizures made hy i our government. The great claim is of; Beaumarchais, which had nothing at all to do I wtth seizures of any description. The let ter itself, however, is a flattering tribute to our minister at Paris:— Rich. Enq. From a letter of (J. P. Q. to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, dated Paris, July 16, 1831. “Mr. Rives, the talented, amiable, and res pectable, Minister of the U.S. of America iri this country, has just concluded, on the be half of his Government, a treatv with France, on the subject of the claims of the former on the latter State, in respect of American mer chant vessels seized and confiscated in execu tion of the Decrees of Berlin and Milan. This claim has been made by the American Gov ernment ever since 1810, but always without effect. Napoleon evaded it—Louis XVIII. shuffled it off—Charles X. always talked of a more convenient season; but the Government of Louis Philip has done justice to the claims of the Federal Government. These claims have been ably assorted and vigorously defen ded by Mr. Rives, who, although he labors under the disadvantage of speaking the French language most imperfectly, has yet written the most able and convincing letters, and j which wlron published, will do him grent jus-1 tice, as they have done the State service. The claim,, you ktiow, is not made on behalf of the State, but on behalf of American mej cliants, and has been .finally settled at 1 mil lion sterling; from this £6O, 000 will be de ducted to repay certain French citizehs for the losses they also sustained inconsequence of seizures made by the American Govern ment. In return for these concessions on file part of France, the American Government has consented by its Minister, to a reduction for ten years on the importation duty on French wines and to a further proportional reduction should the American Government reduce the duties on other foreign wines, France, on the other hond, is to admit long and short silks in to her ports, on paying the same duty, which will be advantageous to American commerce. The basis qf this treaty is mutual concession. It is just, honorable and wise. The Ameri can Government wjjl ratify it with pica. are, 1 and the French chambers should receive it with satisfaction. It is the first act of M. Sebastiani that I can unhesitatingly approve, since lie has been named Minister'of Foreign Affairs, aid it is a treaty which reflects great credit on the zeal, patriotism and talent, of the American Minister at Paris, Mr. Rives. This treaty will have the efl'dbt of yet further endearing France to America, and will tend to cement that union which ought to exist between two free and enlightened nations. I hope that France and G. Britain will soon be bound together by a treaty of Commerce on a broad and liberal principle, which shall de stroy jealousies, remove prejudices, and bad Ito nu alliance in favor of liberty and civili- I z;Lu:i, n [ln justice to Mr. Rives, we have given place to the above. To him it must be high iy gratifying to find his management and conduct in the negotiation with France, so generally eulogised. There is a singular ex pression in the above extract—“ France, oil the other hand, is to admit long and short silks”—we allude to it as acouvineirtg proof that these letters, so generally read, and con cerning the authorship of which so mpn.v sur mises have been put forth, are originally writ ten in French. No Englishman, with any knowledge of the subject, would write such nonsense. Longue et eeurte sole, was no doubt the words first used, or long and short stogie, which the translator in London has, like a bungler, rendered “long and short silk.”—[A. I'. Com. & Enquirer.

Mr. Ely, Editor of the Philadelphia, a paper published in the city of “brotherly love,’’ i speaks of Mrs. Eaton, as “ a woman that cannot blush.” If Mrs. E. “cannot blush,”'it arises more prohably from a stern consciousness of inno cence, than from any truth in the insidious, un manly and vulgar allusion of the Reverend gentle- ‘ man. • Who dees not blush for him ? In reference to the gallant remark of Air.. Ely, the Lynchburg Virginian says, “It is proposed to call the true blue Jacksoniansthe Petticoat party” and then remarks that “ the name is certainly ap- 1 pfopriate.” It is certainly-very appropriate, if it. means that “ the true blue Jacksonians” are the admirers and protectors of lovely woman- In our turn, let us tender a proposition—it is, that the opponents to the “ true blues,” be hereafter known and distinguished throughout the Union, as 03THE FEMALE SLANDERING PARTY. The Banditti. The domestic disturbances in Virginia have subsided. The most active vigilance, however, is exercised, to prevent the possibility of their re currence. In the Norfolk Beacon of the 31st ult. it is reported, “ that Ned, the fanatical desperado . who led the band, is arrested.” Similar insurrectionary movements, we regret to say, have been detected in Sampson and Du- Ipi in ccunlies. North Carolina. But their mail, j wicked ami fruitless project was timely develop | ed. and the individuals implicated, it is said, have been arrested and committed For trial. In relation to the Southampton affair, the editor -of the Richmond Whig speaks in the following i language : “We have "been astonished since our return I from Southampton, (whither We went in Copt. | Harrison’s troop of horse, )iri looking over the | mass of exchange papers accumulated in our j absence, to seethe number of false, absurd i and idle rumors, circulated by the Press, I touching file insurrection in that country.— Editors seem to have applied themselves to the task of alarming the public mind as much as possible, and of persuading the slaves to en tertain a high opinion*, of their strength and consequence. While truth is always the best policy, and the best remedy, the exaggera tions to which we have alluded, are calcula ted to give the slaves false conceptions of their numbers and capacity, by exhibiting the terror and confusion of the whites, ar*d to induce them to think that practicable; which they see is so much feared by thoiVsupon ors.” That these poor, deluded beings, have been impelled to their own destruction, by the unhal lowed influence and treasonable conduct of a few' disuffected white-men, appears too apparent from the following paragraph : INCENDIARY PUBLICATIONS. The excitement produced a few months since, in the Southern country, by the dis covery of several copies of the notorious “Walker Pamphlet,” is doubtless still Iresli in the recollection of most of our readers, Notwithstanding the pointed rebukes which the publislrers of that inflammatory production received from many of the well disposed and reflecting part of our northern brethren, it ap pears that some misguided and delmledfana tics are still bent on exciting our colored pop ulation to scenes at which the heart sickens on tiro bare recital, and wiiich instead of im proving their moral or physical condition, j cannot fail to overwhelm the actors in ruin, and curtail the priviledges of all the others. ’ Let thcmAiew lie first fruits of their diaboli cal projects in the Southampton mtissucr ,aud pause—an awful retribution 'awaits them.’ A letter from a gentleman in Washington Ci ty, dated 29th ult. to the Postmaster at tins place, says: “An incendiaary paper, “The Liberator,” is circulated openly among the free blacks of this city; and if you will search, it is very probable you will find it among the slaves of your county.

A copy of the “Liberator,” alluded to above, has been received in this place. We have not seen it, but understand that the doctrines which it inculcates, are of the most seditious character. It is printed in Boston. Will the “ descendants of the Pilgrims of the Rock” tolerate such publi cations ? We hope not. Indeed, w’e know they will not. There is too much virtue—too much patriotism—among the offspring of the men who first raised the arm of opposition against the arbi trary sway of Great Britain, to suppose for a mo ment that they w'ould even tacitly countenance such chimerical schemes—such horrid enormi ties. Let not then the independent and magnan imous sons of the South, iu the illiberal and un friendly spirit of WILSON LUMPKIN, traduce and vilify the characters of the Pioneers of our glo rious Revolution. For, when we reflect upon the ease and impunity w ith which publications like the one alluded to, may be clandestinely circula ted, and the fear of the traitors to bring down up on their heads, the indignation of a virtuous com munity, it i3 not unreasonable to suppose, that the existence of the “ Liberator” is now much more generally known in the South than it. is in the North or East.

Gilmer—-Lumpkin—-Jlission aries. A communicant in the last Telegraph, affecting to be a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and who has assumed the deceptive sig nature “C,” for tlie purpose of making a false im pression upon the public mind, has addressed the Rev. Mr. Howard upon the part which he has ta- j ken in the subject of the late Cherokee Mission- i aries. To ma*k £us duplicity, “G” begins with | hypocritical professions of regard and respect for j Mr. ll.and iiis Church,by intimating his friend- j ship and devotion to both. But in his furious j hostility to Governor Gilmer, this politically reli gfotw’masquarader unintentionally drops his dom ino, in essaying to traduce the Methodists and at -1 tempting to shield the offending Missionaries from that punishment to which their public, wan \ ton, flagitious, and repeated violations of a law of the land, have justly consigned them. He accu ses Mr. H. and his Church of meddling in politi cal matters and becoming “ almost subservient to a party ” for the purpose of promoting tire election !of Mr. Gilmer in opposition to Mr. Lumpkin. It j is here worthy of remark that in making this di rect charge, ‘C’ unwittingly fastens upon himself, that improper interference in affairs of State, w hich he reprobates in others of the same denom ination of Christians, to which he would wish us Ito believe he belongs. The conspicuous standing of Mr.Howard—bis exclusive attention to the high and important objects of his Ministry—and the general character of the Methodists, are sufficient in themselves to correct the slander which “O” i has uttered. We want no surer guarantee for their attachment to their sacred calling—no stron ger pledge of their repugnance to mingle in the boisterous political strife which is threatening the prosperity and disturbing tranquility of our State, than the general tenor of their unobtrusive, ‘ peaceable, and christian-like deportment. But to satisfy incredulity itself,and toputdown at once the numerous misrepresentations which are going abroad to the injury of Governor Gilmer ' and the Rev. Mr. Howard, we shall here give a concise statement of facts, and if, after reading them, there can be found a man so regardless of what is due to the laws of the State, and to the ir reproachable reputation of the two distinguished individuals, as to refuse to do them justice, we will only say, we neither envy his feelings as a Christian—nor his conduct as a politician. In the session of IS3O, the State of Georgia, t for the purpose of protecting her law sand the ; rights of her citizens from the most iniquitous in fractions, extended her legal and sovereign juris diction, over the Cherokee country, within her ] chartered limits. In a spirit of forbearance, highly creditable to her humanity, but destructive of her interest, she had, for a series of years suf fered with impunity the offenders of her laws to pass unpunished. This forbearance, which was only extended as an act of mercy to the untutor- t'd Indian, was viewed by some, as either acqui escent to liis pretended claims, or as the result of a slavish and dastardly policy, which would eventually yield to the bullying conduct of the political Gascons who had arrayed themselves against the ordinances of our .State. Embolden ed by such delusive considerations, our laws were treated with contempt and defiance. Two reverend gentlemen, (Messrs. Worcester and Butler,) were in such habitual violation of them, that Governor Gilmer could no longer exercise the misplaced clemency which he had so long ex-. tended towards those refractory individuals. He therefore writes to {hose patriotic Christians, cour teously apprising them of the law of the . State, | and of the critical situation in whieb they stood in relation to it. What was their answer 1 Did i they, like good citizens, yield a ready and cheer ful obedience to the laws of the land ? No. But, on the contrary, like, traitors to their sacred trust, and renegadoes from the laws of their country,they hid defiance to the constituted authorities of the j State, by telling Governor Oil mer, that they would , not respect Mem, and were willing to abide all the ! penalty they might incur. It was then, and not till then, that the Executive specially ordered a rigid enforcement of the law of the-State. The culprits were apprehended; and according to their representations very much abused and mal treated. Their letters (which we have already (published,) when taken iu connexion with their previous conduct, give no doubt au highly exag gerated picture of the treatment said to bo in flicted upon them ; for it is but reasonable to sup , pose-that he who wantonly violates a known law, would not hesitate to misrepresent the process of its execution. “ The thiif ne'er felt the. halter draw, J Without abhorrence of the late}' But, he this a$ it may ; the' circumstances of the case attending the arrest of the Missionaries, were not fully known at the time of the publics -1 tion of their 1-ttrfsj Those letters were well eal culated to make a false impression upon the pub lic mind, excite its natural sensibilities and arouse its indignation. Undor the influence of such feel ings, and with a due regard to the honor and dig nity of his Church, the Rev. Mr. Howard, addres sed Gov. Gilmer, soliciting an explanation,which was readily granted. The correspondence be tween these gentlemen, was recently published in ! our paper. It proved satisfactory to Mr. How- j ard —and convinced him, as it has already convin- j ced every honorable man in the community, that j Governor Gilmer instead of transcending his du ties, was not in fact, sufficiently rigid in their dis oliarge. If this was a failing it was “ a failing that leant to virtue’s side”—a failing which the malignity of his enemies cannot censure without exposing their own infamy, and sealing their own condemnation. What we have related was all the “part or lot” the Rev. Mr Howard had in this unpleasant af fair. He thought that the character of bis Church demanded an explanation of circumstances. He sought it, and he got it. And for this, the Tele graph writer denounces that Church, as having “almost become SUBSERVIENT to the party” which supports Governor Gilmer. We entertain too high an opinion of the Methodists to suppose for a moment, that they would be SUBSERVI-; ENT to any authority inferior to that which is imposed by the laws of their country, and the laws of their God. They know', and every reflecting man must know, that had the Missionaries been allowed to trample upon our law s with farther impunity, a far more sanguinary and destructive scene would have been exiiibited upon our frc:> tiers, than even that which has been recently dis played in bloody characters, in the SOUTH AMPTON TRAGEDY. To shew that the Rev. Mr. Howard is not sin gular in his way ofthinking, or in the support which he is willing to give the laws, we copy from the “Christina Repertory'" as far back as April last, the following article. The “Reperto ry” is published in this place, and edited by the Rev. Mr. Capers, a gentleman distinguished alike for his piety, erudition, and patriotism: From the Christian Repertory , April 14. “THE MISSIONARIES ARRESTED^” Under this head some remarks have been offered to the public, apparently as much to question the humanity of our laws, as to in-1 creas* the unfriendly feeling of our Indian! neighbors. Much is said, and much more will; doubtless be said on a subject which seems j to have elicited many painful feelings; but) the “unrighteous feelings of the Act," for the violation of which the “arrest” was made are, yet to be exhibited. The constituted author- j itiesof the State have certainly the right,and i are bound by moral obligations, to enact j and enforce such laws within the chartered! limits of their jurisdiction, as should effectu ally secure our citizens from the “mock tri als” and inhuman brutal treatment which some of them have received at the hands of tlie Cherokees—and if Christianity will justi fy a preference for the “Savaere Code” and its boasted declaration of Independence, it cannot sustain the propriety of a voluntary subjection of its rotaries to the penalties of a law, which regards as its chief object, the i suppression of crimes at which Immunity j must blush. The “conscious scruples” which the “Oath” is said to have imposed up on its subjects, may be ascertained by a ref erence to its letter viz.: “I. A. B. do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be,) that I will support and de- 1 fend the Constitution and the Laws of the State of Georgia, and uprightly demean my self as a citizen thereof.” ‘Render unto Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and unto God the things which are God's,' is a precept which all men are re quired to obey. Should however, Mr. Lumpkin’s friends still remain incorrigible in their opposition to Gov ernor Gilmer, because he is determined honestly and independently to put the laws of the state in force, let us hear what kind of approval it meets with from Mr- Lumpkin himself—that Idol whom the w illing victims of Taxation, (if any such there be ) would bow down to and worship. In a speech which he delivered at the last session of Congress, oil the Bill providing for the removal of the Indians, he,speaking of certain Missiona ries said :. “Tlie religious opposition to this measure is not confined to arty particular sect, unless wegiyo a ttcw name to a religious party in po litics, a party which has some recruits from many, if not all, the different sects of the coun try. It is this new sect of Concert Brethren, against whom I direct my Censures. These canting fanatics have placed themselves, up on this Indian question, behind the bulwarks of religion, and console themselves with the belief that the Georgians, whom they have denounced as Atheists, Deists, Infidels, and Sabbath-breakers, laboring under the cause of slavery, will never be able to dislodge them from their, strong position. Sir, I therefore feel that I stand pledged in duty to my constituents, to shew to this House, and to the world, that these jnter-medlers and dis turbers of the peace and harmony of society have no just claims to the protection of that impenetrable fortress in which they have hith erto found refuge and protection. I rely with entire confidence upon those who carry the keys of this fortress; they will deliver up the guilty, to be dealt with according to law and justice. “By their fruit ye shall know them.” “Sir, I hlume not the Indians; I comm iter ate their case. 1 have considerable acquaint ance with the Cherokees, and amongst them I have seen much to admire. To nro, they are in many respects an interesting people. If the wioked influence of designing men, veiled in the garb of philanthropy and Chhs tiun benevolence, should excite the Chero kee* to a course that will end in their speedy destruction,! nowcalhipon this Congress, and the whole American people, not to charge tin Georgianswith this sin; but let it remem bered, that is the the fruit of cant and fanati cism, emanating from the land of steady habits; from the boasted progeny yf the pilgrims and puritans.” . ■ .i rhis is a true, a wise, and humane considera tion of the subject; with the >impU exception of the sweeping denunciation, which Mr. Lutnnkin . yryr pm[-Vz-jy -> - ■ j— has unjustly muted upo* me ut-ut. oi our East ern brethren. There rady be in the East, it is true, marty who oppose the policy of Georgia iu rclatioa to her Indian affairs. But this opposi tion is the result of mistaken views of the ques tion. To visit then their- errors upon a whole community, a respectable talented, and influen tial part of which goes with us heart and hand, is in our estimation, a vile calumny upon the de scendants of the “ Pilgrims of ihe Rock.'" 'Such a mode of reasoning is equally absurd and culpable as it would be,' were we to question the purity of Eden, because an erring mortal was found w ithin its hallowed precincts. The facts here adduced, and the documents we have heretofore published, bring us now to the conclusion, viz: I*/. That the Lumpkin Party hare unjustly and wickedly censured Gov. Gilmer, because he has ho nestly und independently supported the laws of the State ; 2 d. That tne Lumpkin Party have shamefully traduced the great body ,f the Methodist Episcopal Church, by charging it with being subservient la political doings : '.id. Taut the Lumpkin Party in 1831, deny the right of Georgia,as contended for by Afr.

Alcocx, at port from Montego Bay, Jamaica, we liaw£ by the politeness of the Captain, obtained* regular files of the papers of that Island to the 27th of August. The most interesting items of local new* are those connected with the state of public sentiment, occasioned by the proceedings in England in relation to the duties on Colonial produce, and on the subject of eufancipation. Meetings were held in most of the Parishes and resolutions of a strong charaeti r passed, amounting almost to a state of open" resistance —“Remonstrances (say they) are found un availing. The Colonists of North America, tried this mode, but they were treated with neglect. The condition of Jamaica K ars a close analogy to the Americans in their re monstrances on the Stamp and Tea Acts.” Another resolution states, “That it lias be come imperative for self preservation, to de clare their determination to defend their property to the utmost extremity.” Another recommends the establishment of a permanent militia.
