can you compel either a jon: standing com
mittee, nr a select committee, to attend to
.business confided to them? Appoint a
iarge committee on this subject and what
guarantee b ive you tint they will attend to
their business better than tho joint stand
ing committee ?
Mr. D again remarked that the views of
the gentleman from Warren, were irrefu
table. —The survey was not the only ques
tion. If we examine the message we will
,lind many questions presented in i f . It
was dangerous to separate them. Do so,
and y< u will have one committee to pro
vide for survey, another to protect the In
dians, another to dispose of improvements. ,
—There wiii be no concert between them.
Their measures will clusti with one anotii- j
er, and tny thus berenderd nugatory. — He '
would refer the whole subject to one com
mittee, and a system of measures! in accor- !
dance with one another, may he presented
for the cons'deration of the House The
result cannot ba obtained if the course pro
| posed by the gentleman from Habersham is
r adopted.
The question was then taken on the
motion to lay Mr. Wofford’s resolution on
the table, and decided affirmatively.
Subsequently, when it was called up, Mr.
Murray offered a substitute, consisting of a
series of resolutions, tefeiing the various
subjects embraced in the Governor’s mes
sage to appropriate joint Standing Com
mittees which was adopted.
Dills were taken up, and several read the
first time. The bill to reduce the fees on
grants in the lotteries of 1818, 1819, 1821,
to $6, and to extend the time of taking them
out, was lead the 3d time, and oidered to be
sent to the Senate.
Mr. Burns’ resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with a like
committee on the part of the Seriate, on the
subject of a reduction of the meinners of)
tho Legislature, agreeable to the expressed j
will c.f the people, was taken up and agreed j
to.—The committee appointed was M s s!

The subject of the Cherokee Indians has
.already attracted the attention of the Leg -
islature,
On Wednesday last, in the House. Mr.
II tynes asked leave to introduce mst inter
la bill respecting that subject. The matter
iwas'debated, and postponed the next day,
|when tho debate was resumed, after which
■be House decided to refer the matter to
the committee on the state of tire ll- pub
lic. .
; From the broad hints given in the course
pf tho discussion, we believe that the tem
per of the Logislaturo is for bold and de
risive measures.
\ et, there are prudent men in the Lng
slature, possessing influence, who, though
billing, perhaps, to take decisive stops with
egard to the Cherokee territory, will en
leavor to combine at tho same time with
those steps, a proper degree of di ff renco,
Tor the known disposition of tho federal
Administration, to satisfy Georgia, and
iomply with the contract of 1802. It is to
bo hoped that the Legislature will not pro
tend hastily in this business ; that whatever
nay be determined on, will be done after
nature deliberation, and after calculating
lie probable eflects rtf the measutos to be
idppted. Tiie members of the Legisla
ure will, no doubt, bear in mind, that the
Klministration of Gen. J ickson is with
Georgia, and that we can expect that every
ihing will he Hone, which can be done to
nducethe Cherokoes to emigrate. I’ is
ho first time that an administration of the
federal Government his shown friendly
dispositions towards Georgia. J .et us not,
py incautious and injudicious stops paral
yze tho attempts to treat wiih the. Cnero-
Itees, and render indifferent towards us,
an administration which feels so much for
ns.
. On Thursday, in the House, a bill passed
extending the lime for drawers io take out
their grants in the Lotteries of 1818, 1819,
and 1821, to tho 20th Novemhn, 1831,
and which is now processing in Senate.

• Tuesday, October 28.
| Mr. J lurry laid on the table the follow
ing resolutions:
\! hereas the political cri-fis in our own
State, as well as national afi .irs, has arrived,
® determinate aud unreserved express
ion if the sentiments of the people niav
correct erroneous impressions in our sister
States, and remove every delusion of either
cell-interested politicians, or visionary men
at home, as to the prevailing feeling of lit e
citizens ol Georgia.
And whereas the recent events in an ad
joining State, and the ex pi es»ion of opinions
in our own, bespeak unfavorable indications
to the dominance ol the peace, tiat.quilily,
& happiness of our beloved couniiv, which
mauilestatiou of leelmg is too particularly
notorious tube sttscyptible of misconstruc
tion. In such impolitic as well as danger
ous displays of political excitement’ eveiy
good citizeu is bound by those inestimable
patriotic ties of feeling, to rally round our
national Government, which lias heretofore
reflected such a lustre over our political,
moral and civil associations, as to elicit the
admiration of the woild.
And whereas, at this momentous period,
the people ol Gergia by their representativ es
now assembled, unhesitatingly avow a firm
adherence to the principles expressed in
the following resolutions:
lie it therefore resolved by the Senate and
House of representatives if the .Mate of
Georgia in General Assembly met, amt it
is hereby solemnly resolved by the same ,
That tne present Federal Constitution is
the bond of union between these United
States. With a view therefore to avoid all
cause of dissetiiiou and complaiut, it is es
sential that the National Government, tu
the exorcise of its powers, should, without
deviation, adhere to a correct, literal con
st: uetion of that instrument, and carefully
avoid the usurpation of any right not ex
pressly surrendered.
Jtesolved , Tu' ttiough the Congress of
tne U.ui.fi Stiles may legitimately raise a
revenue fertile support of government, yet
:t: so dome, a jest and prudent discretion
ought to ho exercised, constantly keeping
in view a fair and jusi equalization of the
burthens imposed amongst the several
states. Yet this principle lias been greatly
disregarded, and experience proves it in
the existing Tariff ol 1828. That law,
manifestly unjust in its conception, has also
been partial m ns operation, and still con
tinues its baneful pressure on the most vital
interests of t he South, while the people of
tins State, with their accustomed patiiotism,
have yielded obedience to it, but tiny now
urge in tiie most emphatic terms, us modifi
cation r.nd better adaptation tu the interest
of the whole.
Resolved , That Georgia, in common
with toe Southern States, is fully convinced
of the importance of an early and successful .
extinguishment of the national debt as then
the demand for revenue should only b; pro
portionate to ilie immediate warns of Ore
government, aud thus a painful and prolific
source of discord will be removed, and t ie
blessings of reconciliation and harmony a
gaiu pervade the States in general.
Resolved, That as there are conflicting
opinions, as well as avowed hostility ol Ui3
people against the assumption by Congress,
to apply the national resources to tho pur
poses mis tailed “Internal Improvement,”
therefore this legislature cannot forbear ex
pressing their positive disapprobation of any
such appropriations, until the Constitution
of tiie United States is so amended, as ex
pressly to surrender the guaranty of the pow
er now clamed
Resolved, That the people of Georgia
contemplate with deep and ardent regiet,
the frequent and open expression urfiiemily
to the perpetuation of our piegent happy
union. They nevertheless cannot now re
frain fiom declaring it as their firm nnrl so
lemn belief, that the preservation ot tho
present General Government, as based up
on the. Federal Constitution, is the rock on
which out future safety depends, and that
on the annihilation of political sentiments,
other than those patriotically friendly to the
continuance of this gevemment, not only
dapeinls the present, but the future exist
ence and happiness of the people of the
United Stains—That a wise and prudent
discrimination between feelings tending in j
their consequences to umou or disunion,
cannot be too closely cerished and appre
ciated, as the sole hope and saleiy of this 1
Republic. That disunion, it is firmly be
lieved, will bring in its train, discord, mis- !
rule, and civil wai ; ana finally that the pet;- j
pie ot this State deem those as their worst
and bitterest enemies, who seek to sow the ;
seeds of disunion, and introduce the wretch- J
ed doctrine of nullification amongst tnem.—
Resolved, That the pet pin of Georgia, by
their representaeves, now hi session, view
with deep and incruseing solicitude, die re
election of Andrew Jackson to tile Presi
dency of ilia U States,avowing an open
and frank devototiness of feeling to bis con
struction t f the Federal Constiluiion, as
regwtls Internal lmprovnient, and his ad
ministration generally.
On Wednesday, in the Senate, according
to nonce previously given, committees were
appointed to prepare and report bills.
To alter and amend and 7'h sec
tions of tho Ist articlo of tho Constitu
tion.

the most approved forms tired in carry ing the

tint the legi-dature of Georgia are in tho constant
praciion -f repealing, altering, or aniendiuo laws

having been a member of the legislature during

I have examined a digest of the Laws of Geor

continuation of I’rinee's Digest, and is, in my opin
ion, well calculated to answer that valuable pur
pose. Although the author is not professionally
a Lawyer, he seems, in ascertaining tne statutes
now of force, to have added much care examina

gislate, during most of the period embraced in his

and find the work is executed with much judg
ment and accuracy, by A Foster, esq. of C olum

prove valuable to every citizen who feels desir
