Tlie policy of the G v rnment has oqven them a permanent horn.-, and guaranteed to them ies peaceful an t n i l . urbcil It only remains to give t . in a government ami laws which will euro irage iuTinstrv, and secure to them the rewa-I, of their exertions. 1 lie importance of some form ol government cannot be too much in :>to.i upon, “i he earli est effects will be to dimmish the causes and occasions for hostilities among the tribes, to inspire and interest in thoobservance of’laws to which they will have themselves assented, and to multiply the securities of property, and the motives (or self-improvement. Inti mately connected with this subject, is the establishment of the military defence recom mended by the Secretary of War, which have been already referred to. Without them, the Government will he powerless to. redeem its pledges of protection to the emi grating Indians against the numerous warlike tribes that silrround them, and to provide for ihe safety of the frontier settlers of the bor dering States. Ihe case of the Seminole.? constitutes at present the only exception to the successful efforts of the Government to remove the Indians to the homes assigned them west of the Mississippi. Four hundred of this tribe emigrated in 1830, and fifteen hundred in 183? and IS3B, leaving in the country, it is supposed, about 2,000 Indians. The “conti nued treacherous conduct of these people; the savage and unprovoked murders they have lately committed, butchering whole families of the settlers of ihe territory, with out distinction of age or sex, and making their way info the very cenire and heart of the country, so that no"pari of it is free from their ravages ; their frequent attacks on the light-houses along that dangerous coast; and the barbarity with which they have murder ed the passengers and crews of such vessels as have been wrecked upon the reefs and keys which border the Gulf, leave Ihe Go vernment no alternative but to continue the military operations against them until they are totally expelled from Florida. There are other motives which would urge the Government to pursue this course towards the Seminoles. The United States have ful filled in good faith all their treaty stipulations with the Indian tribes, and have, in every other instance, insisted upon a like perform ance of their obligations. To relax from this salutary rule, because the Seminoles have maintained themselves so long in the terri tory they had relinquished, and, in defiance of their frequent and solemn engagements, still continue to wage a ruthless war against the United States, would not only evince a want of constancy on our part, hut be of evil example in our intercourse with other tribes. Experience has shown that but little is to he gained by the march of armies ihrougii a country so intersected with inaccessible swamps and marshes, and which, from the iatal character of the climate, must lie aban doned at the end of the winter. I recom mend, therefore, to yonr attrition, the plan submitted by the Secretary of War in the accompanying report, for the permanent oc cupation of the portion of the Territory freed from the Indians, and the more efficient pro tection of the people of Florida from their inhuman warfare'. From the report ofthe Secretary of ihe Navy.here with transmitteil, it wilt appear that a large portion < f the disposable naval force is either actively employed, or in a slate of preparati >n for the purposes of expe rience and discipline, and the protection of onr com in tree. So effectual has 1> on this protection, ihat, so tar as tho information of Government extends, not a single outrage has been attempted on a vessel carrying tho flag of tiie United States, within the present year, in any <piartcr, however distant or exposed. The exploring expedition sailed from Norfolk on the 19 hot August last; and informs 1 ion lias been reo :-ed ot its safe arrival at tbo island of Madeira. The best spirit animates the officers and cre-.vs, and there is every reason to anticipate from its efforts results bene ficial to commerce and honorable to the nation. It wid also lie seen that no reduction of the force now m commission is contemplated. The unsettled state of a portion of South America renders it indis pensable that our commerce sho*n,i : •* in that quarter ; the vast, and increasing interests em barked in the trade of the Indian and China seas, in ihe wha'c fisheries of tho Pacific ocean, and in ihe. Gulf of Mexico, require equal attention to their safety: and n small squadron may he employed to great advantage on our Atlantic coast, in meeting sudden demands for the reinforcement of oilier stations, in aiding merchant vessels in distress, in affording active service to an Additional number of officers, and in visiting the dificr ent i orts of the United S'a'es, an accurate knowledge of which is obviousiv ofthe highest importance. The attention of Congress is respectfully called to that portion of ihe report recommending an increase in the number of smaller vessels, and to other suggestions contained in that document. The iapid increase and wide expansion of our commerce, which is every day seeking new avenues of profitable adventure; the ab s dute necessity of a naval force for its projection pre cisely in the degree of its extension; a due regard to the national rights and honor; (lie recollection of its firmer exploits, and the an'ieipation of i's future tri umphs whenever opportunity presents itself, which ne may rightfully indulge from experience of ihe past, all seem to point to the navy as a most efficient arm of our national defence, and a proper object of legislative en couragement. The progress and condition of tho Post Office De partment will be seen bv reference to the report of the Post Mi ter General. The extent of cost roads cover ed by mail contracts, is stated to be 134 SIS miles, and the annual transporta'ion upon them 34.550.202. The humber of post offices in the United Slates is 12 553. and rapidly increasing. Thegross revenue for the year ending on the SOih day of Juno last, was §4,262,145 ; the accruing expenditures, §4,680.068 ; excess of ex penditures, §417,923. This lias hern made up out qf tho surplus previously on hand. The cash on hand. on the first ins'ant was $314,068. The revenue for j the year ending June 3). IS3B, was $161,540 more ! than that for the year ending June 30. 1537. ‘if: ex- t penditures had been graduated upon the anticipation of a largely increased revenue. A moderate curtailment of mail service consequently became necessary, anil j has been effected, to shield the department against the and utger of embarrassment. Its revenue is now improv ing, and it will soon resume its onward course in the Inarch of improvement. Your particular attention is requested to so much of the Postmaster General’s Yeport as to the transporta tion of ths mail on rail roads. The laws on that sub ject do not seem adequate to secure that service, now become almost essential to the public interests, and at the same time pro'ect the deparrment from combina tions and unreasonable demands. Nor can I too earnestly request yonr a"enti.on to the necessity of providing a more secure building for this department. The danger of destruction to which its important li inks and papers arc c wiinuallv exposed, a* well from the highly combustible character of the building occupied as from that of others in its vicinity, calls loudly for prompt ac‘i in. Your attention is again earnestly invited to the sug gestions ari l recommendations submitted at the last session in respect to the District of Golumbia. I feel it my duty also to bring to your no'ice certain proceedings at law which have r ccntlv been prose cuted in the District, in the name of the United States, on the rein “ion of Messrs. Stockton and Stokes, ofthe Stateof Maryland, against the Postmaster General, which have resulted in the payment of money out of the National Treasury, for the first time since the os tablishmciit ofthe Government, by judicial com ulsion exercised by the comm in law writ of mandamus, issued by the circuit court of this District. The facts of the case, and the grounds of the pro ceedin :s, will be found fully stated in the report of the fc decision; and any additional information which you tony desire wil! he supplied by the proper department. |§No interference in the particular case is contemplate,!. IT he money has been pail; the claims rs the prosecu tors have been satisfied; and the whole subject, so for ns they are concerned, is finally disposed of; but it is fn tiie supposition that the case mav he regarded as an Authoritative exposition of the law as it now stands that 5 have thought it necessary to ; resent it to vour con ktderation. ■ The obj ect of the nop’icsUim to the circuit court was ■Jo compel the Postmaster General to carry in o es- Hbct an award ma le by ‘he Solicitor of the Treasury, j$B:; ler a special act of Congress for the seiMcmcnf t,f fcgber’ain claims of the relators on the Post Olßco Dr pß&ruvent, which award the Postmaster Gener 1 de to csactfc in foil, nn’il he s’ovi'.l re r e fur relthe!- 1.-jisla tive direction on the subject. If the duty imposed on the Postmaster Genera'", bv that law. was to I*e regarded as otje of ;*n official nature, belongin'; ttapiis office as a branch of the Executive, then i: is olfcious that the constitutional competency of the Ju- to direct and control him in its discharge, was MBcessarilv drawn in question. And if the duty so’ wiposed on the Postmaster General was to be con- j ■■Bored as marelv ministerial, and not executive, it vet gSpniained to be shown that the circuit court ofd.iis Dis- Hpict had authority to interfere by tnandamtss—srtch a Hfcwor having never before been asserted or clanne J” that court. With a view to the settieni-nt of these questions, the judgmen’ of the circuit court I Hat carried, bv a writ o! error, to the Supreme Court; ■ls the United Sta'cs. In the opinion of that tribunal. duty imposed on the Postmaster General was not Hhn o'ficial. executive duty, but one of merely a minis terial nature. The grave constitutional quest! .ns which been discussed were, therefore, excluded from the of the case: the court, indeed, expressly ad nutting that, with powers and duties properly belong ing to the Executive, no other party can interfere iTv the wri of mandamus; and the question, therefore, re solved used into tt is : lias Congress conferred’ upon ttio circuit court of this District the power to issue such a writ to an officer ot tile General Government com manding him to perform a ministerial act ? A majority of the court have decided that it has, but have founded their decision- upon a process of reasoning which in judgment, renders further legislative provision ’in dispensable to the pub ic interests, and the equal ad ministration of justice. It has long sincc been decided by the Supreme Court that neither that tribunal nor the circuit courts of the United States held within the respective Slates, pos sess the power in question; but it is now held that this power, denied to both of these high tribunals, (to tiie former by the Constitution, and to the latter bv Con gress,) has been, by its legislation, vested in the circuit court of tins District. No such direct grant of power to the circuit court of this District is claimed; but it has been held to result, by necessary implication, from several sections of the law establishing the court. One of these sections declares, that the laws of Maryland, as they existed at the time of the cession, should be in force in that part of the District ceded by that State ; and, liy this provision, the common law. in civil and criminal cases, as it prevailed in Maryland in 1801, was-established in that part of ihe District. In England tho Court of King’s Bench—because tne sovereign, who according to the theory of the Con stitution, is the fountain of justice, originally sat there in person, ano is eti'l deemed to be present. in construc tion of the lavv alone possesses the high power of issuing t he writ of mandamus, not only io inferior juris dictions and corporations, hut also to magistrates and others,^ commanding them, iu the King’s name, to do “bat their duty requires, in cases where there is a vested right, and no other specific remedy. It has ■•veil held, in the case referred to, that, as the Supreme Court of the United States is, by the Constitution, ren dered incompetent to exercise this power. and as the the circuit court off his District is a c. • rt of general jurisdiction in cases of common law, and the highest court of original jurisdiciion in the District, the right to issue the writ of mandamus is incident toils common law powers. Another ground relied upon to maintain the power in question is. that it was included, by fair construction, in tiie power it granted to the circuit courts of the United States, by the act “ to provide f;r the more convenient organization of ;he courts of the United States.” passed 13th of February. 1801 ; that the act establishing the circuit court of this District, passed the g7ih day of February. 1801, confern and upon that court and the judges thereof the same powcis at were by law vesied in the circuit courts of the United States and in the judges of the said courts; that the repeal of the first mentioned act, which took place in the next year, did not divest the circuit court of this District of the authority in dispute, but left it stiil clothed with the powers over the subject which, it is conceded, were taken away from the circuit courts of the United States by tho repeal of the act of the 13,h February, 1 SO 1. Admitting that the adoption of the laws of Maryland for a portion of this District confers on the circuit court thereof, in that portion, the transcendant extra-judicial prerogative powers of ihe Court of King’s Bench, in England, or ihat either of til acts of Congress, bv ne cessary implication, au horise the former court to issue I a writ of mandamus to an officer of the United Slates, lo compel him to perform a ministerial dutv, the conse quences are, in one respect, the same. The result in either case is, that the officers ofthe United States, stationed in different parts of the United States, are, in re-pcct to the performance of their official duties, subject to different laws and a different supervision— those in the Slates to one rule, and those in the District of Columbia to another and a very different one. In the District their official conduct is subject to a judi [ cial control, fiom which in the Stales they are exempt. Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the expediency of vesting such a power in ihe judiciary, in a system of Government constituted like that of the United States, all must agree that these disparaging discrepancies in the law and in the administration of justice ouif.it not to be permitted to continue ; and as Congress alone can provide the remedy, the subject is unavoidably presented to your consideration. M. VAN BCJREN. Washington, Dec. 3,1838. SENTINEL & HERALD. COLUMBUS, DECEMBER 13, 1838. [U'p’ The President’s Message—to which we in vite the particular attention of our readers—has ex cluded several communications, and other interesting matter, which will appear in our next. PUBLIC MEETING. CoLU.vtf us,Geo., Dec. 10, IS3B. In accordance to previous notice, a re spectable portion of tiie Democratic party of Muscogee county, assembled- at ‘be Colum bus Hotel, with the view of appointing dele gates to represent this county in a Conven tltUl to L** * *** tin Msc —lltliti Monday, inst., for the purpose of nominating a suitable candidate for Governor. On motion, Col. 15. Hepburn was called to the Chair, and Dr. Edward Delony appoint ed Secretary. The meeting being organised, atnl its object explained by the Chairman, 15. V. Iverson, Esq. offered the following: Resolved, That a committee of three he appointed to select delegates to represent this county in said Convention. Wiicieupon ihe Ciiair appointed Messrs. Iverson, Guerry and Helms that committee. The committee having retired for a short lime, relumed and presented the following names: Messrs. James’ H. Campbell, B. Hepburn and Edward Delony, which nomi nation was unanimously accepted by the meeting. Mr. Campbell, being unable to act as one ofthe delegates, in consequence of his press ing engagements at home, Mr. 15. V. Iver son was appointed in his place. On motion, it was resolved, That each de legate have the power of supplying his place, should it he out of his power to attend said Convention. James 11. Campbell, Esq. then offered the Silowing preamble and resolutions, which were read and unanimously adopted by the meet mg. Whereas, in lice governments, founded upon universal suii'rage ami equality, nothing can Le more important than a constant re currence to first principles, and no mode of an expression of opinion can be entitled to more weight than that of tho people in their primary assemblies: We, therefore, a por tion of the citizens of Muscogee county, at tached lo the Democratic parry, Leg leave, upon the present occasion, as American citi zens, ardently and sincerely attached to our glorious form of government, its Constitution and its laws, thus peaceably, mildly, but firmly , to set forth pur views upon the lead ing political questions which now agitate the public mind. Asa first and fundamental principle, then, we would declare our uncompromising hos tility and opposition to all partial legislation, having for its object the promotion of the I private interest of the few to the exclusion of the many, unless imperiously called for by the wants and wishes of the country —a state of things which we can hardly suppose ever to exist. The tendency of such limited and partial legislation is, in our opinion, insidi ously to undermine and subvert the theory of our government, dangerous to the liberty and independence of the people, and in its ulti mate results highly deleterious to the prospe rity and happiness of our beloved country. \V iiilst one, and but a small portion of our Citizens, are enriched by its fostering case, the great b )dy of the people are, in the same 1 propuitt m, lowered and impoverished. The . power which wi'l be thus placed in the hands i of the few, giving them by legislative enact merits the regulating power and control of ; the wealth and industry of the country, whilst it will deprive thousands of their hard earnings, can but tend to the destruction of that treedom and independence of character so essential and important in a republican government, resting its broad foundation upon the wii! ol tits people, and will thus, in me, transler that allegiance which every iree born Ameri an proudly renders to his country, to the creatures of partial laws. — I hat zeal and devotion which everv good Citizen now feels lor his country, will, in time, 1 under the insidious influence of this system, dwindle down to a contracted and narrow devotion to the interest and projects of spe culators and monopolists. That fundamen tal doctrine of our political creed, proclaimed by the tongues an 1 cemented bv the blood of our fathers, viz : the universal political equa bly <>| man, will exist but in theory, whilst in practice we shall be but the serfs and slaves monopolies. We ho hi it to be the duty of government to afford equal protection to all ol her Citizens, granting exclusive privileges to none. That the road to wealth and honor should he alike open to all, ihe high and the low, the rich and the poor. That the laws should firmly protect every class of our citi zens, in the free enjoyment of the proceeds of their industry, and that every branch of in dustry should be left free and open to compe tition. There is no danger that we so much dread, as the power and influence of an aris tocracy of wealth, and yet we have no fears that such an aristocracy can be created in this country, except by the fostering aid of partial legislation ; but by such aid we have no hesitation in believing” that it would very soon be so firmly fastened upon us, that all the power and energy which would he left with the people, would he unequal to the task of throwing it off. We are decidedly opposed to tire connec tion of the Government with hanks, in any and ail possiblefshapes; believing that they are not necessary as fiscal agents, and, in the ab sence of restrictions and guards, unsafe depo sitories of the public funds. We hold it to he at war with every principle of our Govern ment, that the public revenues should be col lected out of the people, and then place!! in the custody of corporations paying no taxes, giving them the power and the means of speculating upon the wants and misfortunes of our citizens. We desire that the Govern ment should be independent of die aid of banks; and to say that it was incapable of managing its affairs without such aid, would argue an imperfection in its structure which, ior the safety of our liberty, would-call loudly i’or amendment. We believe that no such alarmmg imperfection exists. We are there fore decidedly in favor of the Constitutional Treasury; for the funds of the Government to be received and disbursed by its own offi cers, who will be responsible, either directly or indirectly, to the people. We know that on account of the opinions above expressed, we have been represented as being opposed to the credit system, and have had applied to us the terms Levellers, Agrarians, Loco Focos, &c. We know, too, that unmeaning vituperation is one thing, and reasoning and argument is another, and believing, as we most sincerely do, that our political doctrines result from the only true standard, the Constitution of our country, literally inlet preted, we submit them to the inspection of a candid community, fully satis fied that when the storm of political feeling shall subside, that justice will be done both to our motives and opinions. But to the charge that we are unfriendly to the credit system, we beg leave to make this reply— that we are the opponents o( till attempts to create wealth by artificial means, feeling perfectly conscious ihat the products and labor of the country are the only legitimate sources of wealth, and that all attempts to create it by other means must in the end prove futile and abortive, and cannot fail to carry in its train a series of evils such as from which the countiy is just now emerging;- But vve deny that we arc the enemies of the credit system ; on the contrary we are its only true friends. We desire that its exer cise should he confined within the proper limits, having reference solely to the wants and resources of tire country, not to be ex tended, enlarged, or circumscribed at the will or caprice of capitalists. If thu3 limited, it could not fail, in our opinion, to be an agent of great good ; but it not thus controlled, it must necessarily, at stated periods, visil upon the country the most distressing calamities. After what has been already stated, it would seem to he useless for us to declare that we are strict constructionists, and therefore opposed to ihe establishment of a National Bank, both upon constitutional grounds and upon the score of utility—to a protective tariff, and to works of internal improvements by the General Government. Now, in order fully to carry out these principles, sternly re sisting a .iv encroachment unon mi-.-ryTkit/srfxncl. liberty, and ah the same time cherishing a holy love for this Union, and ardently desi ring its perpetuity, we hereby pledge our selves to yield to those who maintain these doctrines our cordial and earnest support, abandoning at once any and all public fune tionaries or candidates for our suffrages, who shall abandon them, and vve call most res pectfully upon ail who agree with us in these great doctrines, but who may differ with us upon questions of minor import, to rally with us to their support. Let us burn our differ ences upon the altar of our country, and let patriotism kindle the sacrifice. Beit therefore resolved, That tve are op posed to all monopolies, created and fostered by legislative protection. Resolved, That vve arc the friends of equal t ights, and maintain that all branches of in dustry and enterprise should lie left free and unshackled. Resolved, That we are in favor of a strict and literal construction of the Constitution, and a rigid and faithful enforcement of the laws alike upon ail classes of society. Resolved, That vve are opposed to a Na tional Bank, or any other similar power, to be created by Congress; believing the same un constitutional, unnecessary, and dangerous to the liberty ofthe country. Resolved, That vve are in favor the Consti tutional Treasury, and of a total divorce of Government from all banks, at the same time insisting that such guards shall be thrown around the safe keeping of the public money, either by penal enactments or otherwise, as may be necessary for the safe keeping there of. Resolved, Tint vve are in favor of a well regulated and judicious credit system, but opposed to nil attempts to create wealth’ by ariiticia! ntean>. Resolved, That, as the friends of our glo ricus Union, vve will, at ail times, exert our utmost power to preserve it inviolate from the mad assaults of faction, and at the same time vve will resist with equal firmness and vigil ance any tendency towards consolidation. Resolved, That, lor the carrying out of i these principles, vve hereby pledge ourselves to give our united and undivided support to whoever may he put in nomination for Gov ernor of ibis State by the Democratic Con vention, to assemble at Milledgeville, on the third Monday, :n.st. Resolved, That we cordially approve the nomination ofthe Hon. John Forsyth for the Vice Presidency. A. Levison, Esq. then offered the following: Resolved, That tiie proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the Sentinel and Herald. - On motion, the meeting then adjourned sine die.

MAN A WAY from the subscriber, living in the town of Columbus, on the night of ihe Ist inst., a negro man named JOHN. Said negro is about 25 or 26 years of age, middle siz'"! and straight built; weighs 160 or 170 pounds ; large under lip, and his jaw teeth very rotten. Had on a steel niixt overcoat and panialooiis, red speckled shirt, and a dark snuff colored dress coat, half worn. He rode off a light chesnut sorrel Horse, large blaze tn his face, about 15j hands high; heavy made; one barefoot, the rest, old shoes, probably all off by this time ; rode a Spanish saddle with a black scat. Said negro was purchased cn the 14th November, 1838. of Neal Johnson and Alexander Johnson, of Thomas county, Ga. He will probably make for Thomas county or Apalachicola. N. B. The boy can make figures and read writing, and the probability is he can write, I have no doubt he lias free papers, either written by himself or some white man. The men from whom I purchased the negro passed by the names of Neel Johnson and Alex ander Johnson, but I have reason to believe that these names were assumed tor pu- poses best known to them selves. They stated that they were raised and lived in Thomas county, which I have since ascertained is not the fact. The elder, Neal, is a middle sized man, round face, large lips, intemperate, and a gambler; about 28 or 30 3 ears old. The younger, Alexander, is quite a youth, thin visaged arid weakly looking. They passed through Columbus in a one horse dear born wagon, and had a faro box art! other gambling implements. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension of the above descril ed men, and the negro, should lie he found in their possession, or the same reward for the apprehension and delivery to me of the negro alone. ‘ WILLIAM OWENS.
