THE DEMOCRAT
“cotrwsc's. s.:]Vi:n n, dec.. 11.14a
Such has boert tho absorbing interest of the
Lad Bill, »nd tho measures connected with that
vifojcct, that other concerns of great moment
have been thrown entirely in the shade. Previ.
one to the sitting of the legislature, tho question
of reducing the number of representatives, occu
pied a large share of public attention. But it has
since been almost entirely merged in the more
exciting topic of indian gold and indian lands.
The marry Mib«tnntial arguments which had been
urged against tlie evils of a numerous represent*- |
lion, ari*d in favor of the necessity of reduction,
seem tb have resolved themselves into “thin air,
so light sind ineffective have been the impressions
left on the minds of the reader. Not only the
people at largo, but even the members of the le
gislature, seem nearly to have forgotten thtit
snch a quostion Iras occupied even a considerable
eharo of public attention. It is true we believe,
that*a lull contemplating tho call of a conven
tion has been reported to.the house; but its pro
gress has b< en nearly overlooked by the letter
writers at Milledgeville; and what will bo its final
fate is altogether uncertain A large majority ot
ibe no wuovidonosd by tbo’lato voto oil
the subjoci, are in favor of reduction. And for
ourselves, we see ho more likely or eligible mode
of effecting that object, than by a convention.
The common school system, wo are happy to
perceivo is very favorable entertained; and wero
it n“t for the engrossing nature of the land ques
tion, there aright be some hope of tis being de
finitively acted on.
Among other subjects of interest to the people
of this section of country, now bofore tho legisla
ture, is that introduced by Mr. Floyd of Camden,
viz tho appointment of commissioners for open
ing a road botsveen Columbus and St. Marys.
Such a road woul-i enable tho citizens of Colum
bus and the adjacent country, to hold a direct
communication with tho Atlantic seaboard, by a
much nearer route than any they now enjoy, and
In seasons of continued drought, like that wo
llavo just experienced, it would be of immense
commercial advantage
Since tho publication of Mr Madison’s unan
swerable letter, but few writers have boon found
in this state, bold enough advocate tho doctrine
of Nullification. And even thoso few- have shel
tered themselves behind the fancied popularity of
Che ex-governor Troup, against the odium which
the naked deformity of such doctrine must inovit
ably bring down upon thoir heads.
Such writers assert the constitutional right of a
stato to withdraw from tho union, vpou the
ground that the constitution may become an en
gine of oppression; and its destruction therefore
essential to the preservation of liberty.
But they forgot that a right, the oxerciso of
which must necessarily destroy the constitution,
cannot bo dorived from it; but is otic poso.-sed by
a people tnovr*"-— -■
rtgin or revolution.
Tho assertors of this doctrino therefore, must
assume tho broad ground that our government
has become intolerable), that a revolution, a stato
of evi* eia . anarchy and bloodshed, aro prefera

B•» it will bo difficult, wo think, to convince
.: e people of this country, that the government
under which they have been so highly favorod,,

rational glory, is more to he dreaded than all the
evil and horrors of civil war.

“ This happy resu t is tiie joint fiuit of the
devotion end vigor of the National GuaiJ,
und the jieisouui limitless of tlio King The j
crisis was, by all accounts, one which re-!
quired all the energies of the 1. tends of or- |
dei and the existing siate of tilings. L'or ;
several days; indeed ftom tho'day that it be
came generally known that the Chambers,
tho Ministry and Hiu King bad declared
themselves Ii ieudly to a mitigation of the
nx-ministers; u feeling had begun to do
velope itself amongst tho populace at Par
is, strongly deprecatoiy of the contempla
ted indulgence Tins fueling found its
! first vent through the Revolutionary Jour

lying word of the mob of the* capita'. Tu
i nmltuous movements were the consequence,
and in tin* strci ts of Faiis, which have so
! lately witnessed tho overthrew of a mocar
j chy by sin.ilur instruments, they became
a matter of deep ci#> sern and no s nail a
l irm to the Governuiont. Upon the nights
jof Sunduy and Monday lost, ihe populace
, ussombltid in great numhers in the courts of
j the Palais Royal, and under the very win
■ dotvs of the King. They did uot conceal
j that their object was to overawe tlie Gov
ernment, and deter it from pursuing the
course of mercy which it prescribed lo its
elf iu the case of the unfoVionrle tenants of
Vincennes. The authorities ware taken
by surprise, and did not immediately take
repressive measures; but upon ilio night of
Monday, the Notional Guard, the great
bulwark of good order as well as tho liber
ties of France, interposed, und completely
dispersed the dUtuibeis without much re
sistance.—These latter then look the road
of Vincennes, but were diverted from their
attack upon tlie prisoners by firmness of the
Governor of the Castle, and eventually
dispersed tbemselvOs. Since that night
1 there has been no serious disturbances..
The King tiioughout those trying circum-
I stances, has shown himself worthy of the
I high office to which hu lias been called.
| He has not been intimidated by populai
sense of the nation and tho noise of fac
tious discord. flo has refused to accept
the resignation of two of the Ministe'rs,
who wished to relieve him of the unpopu
larily ot tiieir names, and other measures
least it should see in unbecoming, or yield
ing to the mob, , nd lias placed himself at
the head ot the Nation'll Guard, determin
ed to enforu the respect duo to his office
at all events. The King has triumphed,
uni the popular party is weakened; but the
i ‘vantage ol a victory, which, under other
! circumstances, a Monarch might take for
enlarging his prerogative, cannot bo appro,
bended in these, us the National Guards,
whilst they constitute his strength, are also
<i guarantee that he does not übuso his pow
er.”
The correspondent of tlio Morning Her
ald ou the 21st Oct. remutks of the events
in Paris—Tranquility has been restored,
and confidence is touniinp; but the crisis
is but postponed. After «Heeling the rev
olution of Ju*y last, tho people retired from
the scene, leaving tho subsequent arrange

competent to the task. Led to believe
that manoeuvre and trick were about to be
used to screen li out justice the Ministers
who had signed the oidonnances which had
provoked the revolution tho same men re
appeared on Monday night lust, and prov

lutetiiiou to cheat justice of its victims, they
once more retired.

THE GOLD MINES.
We understand that the United States,
troops, who have for a few weeks past been
stationed in the Chetokee nation io remove
and keep off the intruders upon tiie goidt
mines, have beau ordered to winter'.quar
ters, a.,d the gold country is again exposed
lo ’tio tleprodaiioiis of all who chooso to
commit them. Two companies passed here
ou Fri' ay last, on their way lo Savannah,
anti Chuilcaton, the* ieniainder have gone to..
Fort Mitchell. Already have a numerous
company resumed their illegal labors, ami.
it is probable they will soon be joined by
others, desirous to acquire a portion of the'
precious metal.
Wo would hero remind all those whose 5
love of Gold is greater than their regard for
the laws, and who will hereafter bo enti
tled to draws in the land lottbiios that ma>
neroatter be made, that one feature of iti*-

At an adjourned term of the Superior
Court for Hall county, held last wee!*,
Oco r gr. ’1 assets, a Cherokee Indian, v.is
convicted ol tho iniirdor of another Indian,
and sentenced to be hung on the iN b of
December next. It is expected that an r |
fort will ho made on tho part of Tassels to'
carry the case beloro the Supreme Court of
tho United States. O r the right of the ju
risdiction of that Court over cases arising
betivoen ilns State and the Indians, there
are various opinions among the gentlemen
of tiro bar, hut us far as we can judge, it is
probable the Suproiuo Court of tire United
States wi.| not interfere in the decisiuu of
our Court on this question.— lb.

24th inst. says —“Thoro is no doubt that the au’
ministration party have an overwhelming majori
ty in the Legislature, but they do not appear to*
act in concert. Iho political Resolutions, how
ever, introduced yesterday by Air. Sawyer-, of
Edenton, will bring them, I think, to rally. These
resolutions, which I will rend yon when printed
approve, in strong and eloquent language, of Ul3
whole courso of policy pursued by Gen. Jackson
