These conse quences, Mr. Chairman, are not imaginary. They will follow, they must follow. 1 make the assertion boldly, if ever a state so comes in collision with tiic United Stales, that the qu< st ion, which of them is to submit, must be decided, tho sword only will make the deci sion. And if (Vi r a state draws tin* sword in opposition to the United State's, th< n farewt 11 to no fond visions, in which patriots have loved t > indulge in regard to this country, for the 1 st 1 xperimciit in favor of the rights of ma , will have terminated unfavorably. The experiment of self-government, that has been giiag o . in this country for more than half a evntur., will have failed, and tho position of tyrants, and tho friends of tyrants, will have been csiublisbed, that man was never meant to hi; his own governor- It will then have he* a decidi and, that the people are not capable o! :<vlj'-‘'OL , cm?ntn/, much less of icisc aelf-gov ernment. We cannot pass this act, without violatin' the rights of the Indians. It is not now ne cessary to determine, what those rights arc, liar in what particulars they consist. It is dio igi; forme, that they are acknowledged to tnv lights of some kind. No one surely is prepared to say, that these rights .should not he regarded. All must admit, that the* rights o', in lums, whatever they are, stiould not be vio aied. \V e are as much bound to do them justice, as .ny other class of beings. Now 1 call upon tin advocates of tins bill, to point out those rights of the Indians winch have been respected. They have the lights of some kind. Have those rights or have they not been violated? I am not one of those who 1 hiieve,that the Indian has a title to all that "ft lias seen from the mountain, or passed in 1 chase,” to use an often quoted expression but or, their rights such as they arc, should n respected, and protected. I repeat the dniua:';, t!i r. fon 4 have a right to insi.-t upon it, and tiu* gentlemen who advocate this bill, are found to show us what the rights of th*.

Lot t ie bill passed at your last session re wain. True, i am sorry that it provides for a lottery. And t take this occasion to say, that I ■ otihi be glad of an opportunity, to record my vote for reserving the who!. Cherokee* country.— iut since the people in their groat wisdom will have a lottery, let them have it, but let them have it, sulij-. ct to the contingency there mentioned. W lien the President shall have informed the Governor, that the Indian title is extinguished, lot the lottery take place.— This will be done at nodislant day. Tin ans arc disposed to travel westward,and when their chief man shall be convinced, that the idea in Id out by the Supreme Court cannot be realized, they too will acquiesce. Lot t:s then await, at. least let ns wait so long as we have a President who is willing and anxious to do 11s justice, a little longer, and we will go into possession of ihis country without dif b ully or danger. At present difficulties at tend us, ..t every step, which we cannot ob viate, and yet which we cannot meet. A decent respect for public opinion, should restrain us from passing this act. I know that public opinion is not tin: proper measure of our conduct. But public opinion should b< respected, and when we can comply with ii without departing from duty we ought to do so. in Georgia public opinion is possibly in favor of the measuse, but in the United States it is otheawise. If we look abroad in the whole country, vve shall find that the public feelings are enlisted in tire behalfof the In dians. They are regarded, (unjustly I admit) as a persecuted and an oppressed race. Let us respect this feeling and so'disappoint those enemies oi Georgia, who arc anxiously look ing to this Leg sla Hue for some act, to fur nish a groundwork for misrepresentation am! abuse. Let us, l say, disappoint them, let us show them that although Georgia knows her rights, she lias sufficient moderation to res train their exercise. Let us show tin in, that Georgia has 00 much respect far the Federal Government, heedlessly to come in collision with if, that she value.-, the Union too highly, to eudanger it for any consideration. * • I * u* \v \ \ It*. 1<! .ill /ft Cw ;•:*;). tgv; //v.'.y'/A ,/s '■# vv' ;!'!;!!/&%?■ ’/# MACON. “ Our Book relates to all theacts and employ ments of man.”—Juvenal.

We quote from 7 to 7g. In Charleston—Bl to 8? in round bales, and 9 to 9i for choice, in square bales. This staple is one of all absorbing interest to the South, and for that reason it must be obvious to every one that some established rule to fix its intrinsic value, and regulate its prices, agreeable to its real fluctuations, is absolutely necessary to prudent and prosperous operations in this almost universal commodity. It cannot but leave forci bly struck every one engaged in the trade, (and where is there one in ten who is not!—[at least in Macon) that our wild, confused, and undigest ed system, is materially injurious to the commer cial interests ofthe country. This truth must forcibly appeal to every man acquainted with the market, and tin* predominating influences which regulate it.

The importance of internal trade are seldom du ly appreciated. Indeed, it is difficult, if not im possible, dh!y to appreciate its vast and various benefits, without witnessing its effects. It is a vulgar error to suppose as many do. that whatever is gained i-; trade by one party, is lost by the 0- thor. If this was tho case in commerce between nations, no commerce could be carried on, for die losing party would of course discontinue a trade that injured Idm. Tin* truth is. tint in legitimate and fair trade, each party is a gainer, and no trade can exist between nations any longer than such continues lo.be the case. It is obvious however, that in lor* ign commerce, this country being but one of the paities, can have but half of the profit. Whereas, in internal trade, both parties are at | home, and all the profits remain at home. Sup j posing every thing else therefore to he equal, do mestic is at least double as profitable to the nation as foreign trade. But it has greatand various ad vantages beyond this, in the quickness and safety of the transit, which increases—the one the capi tal, the other the - profits. The strengthening the Union by the conn>ting interests extending in every direction, and by the increased depeudance of each part upon the others. A further bond of union grows out of internal trade, by the increas ing intercourse that hence arises among the inha bitants of the various parts of thecountiy. Tiiis, which might be assimilated mechanical attrac tion, wears off their asperities and their sectional peculiarities, by making them better acquainted, renders them better di.-posed to each other, and tends to render us one people, in affections, ha bits, anu tastes, as we are already in interest. These observations apply to this who’s nation, •and they are equally applicable to the people of this state. Of all the states in the Union, per haps Georgia is most interested iu'lhe promotion and encouragement of internal trade. Perhaps there may be others that are as much interested in it; but we feel assured that none are more so. With a soil as fertile, and a climate as genial, and manufacturing facilities as abundant, as perhaps are found in any region of the globe—the plant ing interest is now* under a degree of embarrass ment that reads to us a melancholy h instructive lesson ofcomparison between what wo are, and what We might be, COTTON, wecontinue to cultivate as a staple, (notwithstanding a grinding tariff,) partly indeed., from habit, but principal’}’, because the lightness ot the article enables, us to convey it to market 011 our wretched roads. .Supposing tobacco or tlour was our staple article, bow should we be able to carry either article to the port of shipment. But let us t.'.ke fact instead of hypothesis. The fact i ~ that iii the Cotton Regions ol tiiis state, many other articles might be abundantly produced, nut they cannot lie got from home. Corn is general ly brought from Roanoke, in North-Carolino, and from other distant places, and sold in Savannah* and at other southern ports, at about 75 cents per bushel, while it can be purchased in the interior for half, and sometimes lor a third of that price. That article cannot, by the present mode cf trans portation, be carried more than ton or twelve miles from home It could be carried on a rail-road at less expense* 100 miles. The same may be saiJ o. every other heavy article, and t'o-re are malty of them produced in the cotton region. Adequate facilities of transportation would equalize the pri. ces, enlarge the list of articles produced, and dim-1 hie the total amount of production, even in tht lower and middle counties. Whatlhen would he i*, efii ct on the highfr and < xtreme interior coun lii s! It so happens that the counyes which are farthest removt *1 from market, arc precisely those whose productions are the heaviest If they could grow Cotton, perhaps they could get it to market at something less than its full value. It might not quite all be expended in freight, and something might he loft to the pjodueer. But Cotton they cannot raise. Tin y could raise to. !> cco, heat, rice, barley,coni, fruit, cider, pulse, ; potatoes, flax, hemp, and their country lira in mi j ,11>ra l treasures, would yield iron, lead, nitride, | copper, ochre, ,\c; but not one of these, cr any i one (if die long list of ariicles which that firm J country could produce, will bear the expense of transportation, (gold only excepted,) and are then lore as u.ierly lost to the proprietors as if ‘liry did not exist, l'he middle pai is of the state would be greatly !u nefitted by improved transpor tation ; but the upper parts are to be absolutely created by it! M’lthout it, these counties are no thing, raid must remain so ; with it, they are ca- P dile of the most varied and valuable productions, l'ii' ir numerous mountain streams afford unnum bered manufacturing facilities. These various advantage,* will employ, and thealmost uncqual cd excellence of their climate, will invite a nuine ious population. This portion cfllie state is des tined ultimately to yield the greatest value lbr cx portolkm ; to furnish, of all our country, (lie great est number of the comforts and conveniences of life; to support the most numerous, and mosthar dy and healthful, industrious and virtuous popula tion: and on the whole, tube the strength, the beauty and boast of our country-. This must hap pen by .the necessary operation of established causes, and by the natural coarse of events. But when will this be ? is the question. It will be, w hen the people in that quarter shall learn the advantage s of tlibir position ; and when they shall promote education and internal improvements. The following arc extracts from the *' *s sage ofthe Governor of Alabama, on the sub ject ol’ Indian Affairs, and the propriety ot're ciiartcring the Bank of the United States.— Alabama, in common with Geoigia, and we hope in common w ith a largo majoiity of the Union, has adopted in relation to those two important measures, the enlightened policy recommended by the present Adrninistation .- “ 'The Stale of Alabama in the exercise of its legitimate and constitutional powers, has become a bunker. It has established a bank founded on a permanent capital, which issues aiul lends a paper currency at a moderate in terest. 'i'iio interest co sthutes a revenue to iie* applied alone to public use, and is acquir ed by an indirect inode of taxation to raise* a State revenue. 15; cause the tax is paid voluntarily by individuals, who borrow the paper, it (iocs not change the character ofthe operation, it is a tax, transferred by the indi viduals to the piffiiic. It will not, 1 suppose, be pretended, because an innkeeper pays for his license voluntarily, that lie does not j thereby pay a tax. Because a State has a j rigiit to tax ils citizens, (o raise a public re-; venue, ii does not conclusively follow that a ; State iias the legitimate power to transfer that right loan incorporation; or varying the ex pression, to tax the citizens for the-benefit 01 1 tire* individuals ,*f an incorporation. Und r the general laws of Alabama, individuals have* not the right ot associating themselves together, with banking privilege s ; therefore, when the Lepislaiurc, by an act of incorpora tion, grants these po..ers to an association, those individuals thereby rec ive and exercise privileges from which other citizens of the same community are excluded. The nature ot these privileges may be readily seen by a very slight examination ofthe operations ol 1 a private* stock bank. A “set of men,” in their ! corporate capacity, issue their notes, by which they promise to pay a specified sum of moi y ; an individual wishing to obtain some ol those notes presents iiisnote to lie discount ed, by which he promis; sto pay a specified su nofmo n y. The operation is an exchange ol notes. But in tlie exchange, the individu al is required lo pay a premium, the* tax. — V* here shall we look to find (lie reason of t c diffi rcnce in trie value of the credit of these ? Inc reason why this “set of men” may re quire this tax, tiiis tribute of tho individual ? i n'* parties to the transaction are equally sol vent, tnq.credit of each is intrinsically equal to that of the other, tin v are citizens of the same Stale, subjects of tin* same government, on the fat*,: ofthe notes the promises are made in the obligatory language, to pay in the spe cific dollars. The reason is not found here. But when wc turn to the statute book, in an act of the legislature of a government, pur porting to be founded on the equal rights of its citizens, we find the r asori. Ido not in tend to insist that the establishment of compa ny banks, is contrary to the letter of the con stitution ot Alabama, for that instrument seems to recognize the right of tiic Legisla ture to create such banks; my object is to shew that to establish a company bank,is not legislat ing strictly oi principles of equal rights,which ought to oe the polar star of every American 1 legi slater, and is contrary to the true policy of j a republican government. Suppose another State to apply to the Legislature of Alabama for a bank charter, with the usual company j bunk r (tril lions, to authorise that Stati to establis.i a bank in Alabama, for the purpose of raising revenue. Tht* president and direc tors would be chosen from the stockholders,j who in this case would be the citizens ofthe applying State. Tins hank would be consti-j tutioiial upon the same principles that eompa-1 ny banks are. But would its establishment be good policy in the Legislature? Would j the application not be rejected, because it would be establishing a separate interest in our State? Because the Bankers would man age the institution,so as to produce tiic great est r venue, regardless of Lie interest of Ala bama? If tiiis argument be good, it will ap ply witii equal force to any company of indi viduals clothed with banking powers. With out regard to the place of residence, State, citizenship, or other interest, they will pursue that course in the mangement of the institu tion, which will produce the largest dividends, because it will be for their own emolument. It is a correct course ofbgislation, to endeavor to produce a coincidence between duty and j int.-rest; where this ii wanting’the citizen is j apt to be unfaithful. The establishment ofa company bank, is tho creation ofa separate ; interest in a State, and it is exclusively, con-! fined to a few. It is absurd to sav that be cause by tin* terms ofthe chart, r, it seams to off r stock to all win* will purchase, therefore, its privileges arc not exclusive. This is liktv 9 thousand persona running to obtain suiter iii a hotisMviiid) will contain only on* Ln.i-- fired. VYrsoiw giving this argument will fmn certainly reach' their object, by creating *■ i bank in which the v\iiojeiimds shall h* long j exeliisivcly to flic govi rmneiit, the cilit. ns i will then be equaliy interested. In this wav ! the bank becomes incorporated with, anti com * poses a part of the government, ami hum,: is, not liable to the objection of being a separate I interest.” ' . . , The Bank of Hie United States is a enmpn jriVbank, in which four filths of the slock is owned by individuals. There are twenty-five j directors,’twenty of which arc e.’ioserr by the I individual stockholders, the remaining fife j by the President of the United States,' the j number chosen by the individuals is at ail ; times sufficient tocontrol the dcroction ofthe bank. It is therefore a separate interest,,and j liable to all the objections of other coropan j ■auks, and much more alarming in 'a govern- i incut, because of its immense capital, and its | ramifications, throughout tho union, in defi- J ttnee of state authorities. The?e direriorn have chartered authority at their d.-’crotion, to establish at any point, or points, in your Stale, a branch, or branches oi a niis-nam* and United States Bank, no other than a, powerful monied institution for the emolument, and un der the, direction, of n few individuals of dif ferent States and nations. Where are your State rights when twenty-five inmi, citizens, have a right to tramp.lo upon yoitr j authority ? Collectors of tariff duties are of ficers of Government, and the tax which they collect is for public use, but the nafioai bank ing ta.v collectors are private citizens, not material of what nation or country, collecting a tax within flic limits ofyourState, pro’ :;b!y against its consent, arid for their own aggrand izement. I respectfully submit to your con sideration, the propriety of making a stream and decided expression, against the policy o’’ re-chartering the Bank ofthe United States, especially on its prose ** principles and with its present powers, and discountenancing (fur that is tiic limit of your State right) t!ie estab lishment of oilier branches in the State of Alabama.” In some parts of the United States they arc holding prayer meetings, and setting apart days of fasting and prayer, for the benefit of the poor, benighted, savage, unchristian Georgians: ail be cause the oeojde of Georgia, and their public au thorities chose to assort the supremacy of the la \vs | i t’the state over a couple of impertinent, self-sirf. j ticieiit, rebellious missionaries. Verily, verily, • there is impudence for yen'. The [Good] Book says, the prrycr of the rig*-' teousavailetir much, lint as'ye; ill tire praying, and fasting, for the benefit of Georgia, has uo> a vciied any thing; for we have not yet seen mani fested the slightest symptom of repentance, or of turning from the uvrl of. our ways. Indeed if there he any change, it is rather an increase of dis position to maintain, at all hazards, the pround the state has taken on tiffs question. What •lien i is the inference? That, as the prayer of the righ teous avaiioth much ; that as there have been an abundance of prayers purporting tube ofthe righ teous, put up for the benefit of us savage Geor gians ; and thetas these preyers have availed no thing—that, therefore, (and the conclusion is ir resistible; these praying and fasting gentry are any thing but righteous. 111 sober earnestness—we hope not to bethought iireverent for the style in which we feel it to be our duty to reprobate fanaticism —this is is a most silly business. Fraying and lusting for Georgia, its authorities, audits poor benighted peopls ! ! Faugh—— and making a public parade of it too. Thats the worst feature ot the whole affair.

The meeting was called to order, by Mr. Livingston, of New York, who remarked,that lit* would beg leave to recommend to it, as Chairman j>ro tern, preparatory to its organi zation, the nuine of a gentleman from I’enn sylvania, distinguished for his talents, and ap plauded for liis integrity and firmness,through out a long life of public service—that indivi dual was Abner LacocU- The question being put 1 the appointment of Mr. Lacock, it was unanimously determin ed in the affirmative. On motion of Mr. James Barhour of Virgin ia, Thomas P. Ray, a delegate from that State, was then unanimously appointed Sec retary. From the absence of many rne.-bcrs, and the severity of the weather, the meeting was adjourned to next day. Where is “THU West ?”—A few years since, the inhahitantofour Atlantic cities was accustomed to speak of our town as being the remote point of civilization—the “ jumping* olf place ” at the great Valley of the Missis sippi—beyond winch no man in his right mind, and having a conscience, would think of adventuring. What a transformation has been effected t Now, we begin to think of our city as soon to be- the centre* —perhaps the capital—of this extensive Confederacy. For hundreds of miles to “ the West *of us, the land teems with inhabitants. The hand of industry is there. Comfort and luxuries abound. A vigorous communication is kept up between ourselves and “ these remote parts,” as we are already aceonstomed to call -hem. It is, indeed, impossible to put any limit to this spirit of adventure.
