from nr. Taylor, the late proprietor, will be ready 1
to receive visitors by the first of April next.
Numerous and costly improvements will he j

the M ANSION HOUSE. New and more commo- j
ilious Bathing Houses will be built, and Warm
Baths will he provided at all hours. A stable will |
be attached to the House with good accommoda
tion for horses and carriages. First rate Horses!

lar a hotel in Washington City, will conduct the
Hotel for the Proprietor, who, with such aid, con- I
fidemty ensures the visitors of last year, and Ins
friends generally, that they will receive every pos
sible attention ; and thereby expects to give gene
ral satisfaction.
The local advantages of this house are too well |
known to need a lengthened description here. The ;
facts that Pensacola is the largest naval station of i
the Government, the general rendezvous of the
Gulf squadron; the salubrity of its climate, re
freshed constantly during the summer months by
the coolest breezes from the Gulf—the beauty of
the Bay and the neighboring islands and rivers,
the abundance and delicacy of the fish with winch
the water abounds, and its proximity to the best |
southern markets, give Pensacola the preference
over all other places in these latitudes, as a healthy ;
and delightful summer resort. i
First rate boats will run between Pensacola and j
31 .bile,and will at all times be able to take the j
passengers from the New Orleans boats.

e.\ n.KMKN:—iou will favor me by publish
in your papers, the enclosed reply to the
communication of the lion. John C. Calhoun,
published some short time since in the Intcliigen
ccr, and other papers.
Respectfully, WM. C. DAWSON.
I have read a communication ofthc Hon. Mr.
Calhoun, of South Carolina, to the public, pub.
iished in the National Intelligencer, purporting
to be a teply to certain parts of a speech deliv- i
eied by me in Congress, on the 11:11 making ap
propriations for the suppression of Indian hos
tilities, and to carry into effect the Treaty with
the C herokee Indians, &e., delivered on theSlst
I day ot May, last. This communication I can
not consider otherwise than very extraordinary;
and have had some difficulty in conjecturing the
object the honorable Senator had in making it
and perhaps I am now mistaken in the im
pressions made on my mind, as to his object and j
his motives; he certainly has in a great mcas- i
ure mistaken mine. His communication is |
marked with language at least uncoarteous, and !
by no means justified by the speech he replies to, I
or warranted by those rules ©faction which have
usually governed bis course; all this, however, I
distegaru—the speech and his communication
arc befoie the public. The Senator says,
“whatever may have been my motive, I have
I done him great injustice, both in wiiat I have
; staled, and in what I have omitted to slate,”
which (he sa\’s) is his object to correct by his com
( rnunicalion. I can assure him I designed to do
him no injustice. But the honorable Senator
alleges, that “I have done him great injustice
in what I have stated.”
I can nol find in the extract lie has made from
my speech, even disconnecting it, as he has done,
from the preceding and subsequent parts, a sin.
glc allegation or charge against him. My re
marks were directed against the General Go
vernment. The Senator, as Secretary of War,
negotiated the Treaty of 1819, with the Chero
kee Indians ; what I said in relation to it he has
applied to himself—bait so ;he perhaps had his
! object and motives in assuming his position.
The question suggests itself; what part of the
speech lias done the Senator injus ice? The
j following extract is cited by him, I presume, as
; an evi Jence of* the charge:
4 * 1 ne ‘lower towns,’ who thus inadc known
their desire, in the year 18U8, to continue the
huntei life, and also the scarcity ot game where
they then lived, anu their wish, under those cir
cumstances, to remove across the Mississippi ri
ver, on some vacant land of the United States,
were chiedy that portion of the Cherokee tribe
who were in the occupancy of the lands which
the United Slates were to obtain for Georgia.—
Notwithstanding this disposition of the Indians
to surrender their lands, as early as 1808, the
United Stales did not embrace it, but, on the
contrary, abandoned her duty, and made no ef
fort to obtain the land until this treaty of 1817,
which extinguished the occupant right of the I
Cherokee Indians to nearly all the lands con
templated by the compact of 1802. Georgia
now thought her just rights were secured; and
j that soon her forests would become fields, and
I her population increase. Notwithstanding these
j just expectation.,, this treaty of 1817, against
; which no allegation had been made of fraud or
j injustice, unless it was considered a fraud in the
United Stales to comply with her contract, and
to have done an act of justice to Georgia, was,
by articles of convention made between John C.
Calhoun, Secretary of War, being specially an.
tliorized therefor by the President of the United
States, and the chiefs and headmen of the
Cherokee nation of Indions, duty authorized and
empowered by said nation, at the city of Wash
ington, on the 27th February, 1819, re-adjusted,
and so far as the interest of Georgia was involv
ed, measurably abrogated, and, on its very face,
virtually declared, that the United States did
not intend to comply with the articles which she
was solemnly pledged to fulfil.”
1 hese statements contained in that extract,
so far as they relate to the effects produced by
j the treaty ot 1819, the Senator says, “ are desti
tute ot fjundalion.” This hold assertion would
justify me in the use of language equally uti.
courteous.
the treaty of 1817, as it shows on its very
face, contemplated “a division line between the
upper and lower Towns, so as to include all the
waters ofthe Iliwassee liver to the upper Towns,
that by thus contracting their society within
narrow limits, they proposed to begin the estab
lishment of fixed laws, and regular government.
The lower Towns, to make known their desire
to continue the hunter life, &j., and under the
circumstances, to move across the Mississippi.”
I 1 iic chiefs of these towns, knowing that under
I the compact ol 1802, they could not long remain
j in Gcoigta, hat would have to surrender, there
j willing then to do so, and go west ; to effect
' which, the taking of the census, and the ex-
I change of lands, were entered into; and had
1 those article been faithfully carried out by the
j Government, the “lower towns” would have long
j since been removed, and “nearly all the lands
j contemplated by the compact been procured for
| Georgia.” The Senator denies, “that the
treaty of 1819 readjusted that of 1817.” Did not
the treaty of 1819 readjust tlie 3d and 4lh articles
ot 1817 ? 1 quote the Senator’s own words :
I “The Cherokees, in order to avoid further delay,
j made the liberal offer to cede one-third of their
| territory on tins side of the Mississippi ; which
: was accepted, as well from its liberality as from !
a desire, to avoid expense and trouble of tailin ’-
the censiiA, required by the treaty of 1817.” i
To avoid this very expense and trouble, Georgia 1
, has been postponed in obtaining her rights, by \
the treaty of 1819; hence the allegation, that ;
the treaty of 1817, so far as “the rights of Gcor.
gia were involved, were measurably abrogated ;
; by that of 1819.”
It remains now for me only to show, that '
the treaty ol 1819, “on us very face virtually de
| dared, that the United fatales did not intend to
; comply with the compact.” I refer to the pre
| amble, in these words:
“ Whereas a greater part of the Cherokee na
tion have expressed an earnest desire to remain
on this side ofthc Mississippi, and being desirous,
in order to commence those measures which they
deem necessary to the civilization and preserva
tion of their nation, that the treaty between the
United Slates and them, signed the eiditli of
July, eighteen hundred and seventeen, might,
without further delay, or the trouble or expense
of taking the census, as stipulated in the said
treaty, he finally adjusted , have offered to cede
to the United States, a tract of country at least
as extensive as that which they probably are en
titled to under its provisions, the contracting
parties have agreed to and conclude the follow
ing articles.”
This treaty also granted GlO acres, as rcser
rations, to certain heads of Indian families.—
Thus arrangements were made and measures
adopted by winch the Indians were to remain
east of the Mississippi, within the limits of
Georgia. By the reservations the Gnneral Go
▼eminent placed herself in violation of the com
pact of 180*2, for instead of extinguishing the In
dian occupant right, the title is made absolute
in the Indian in fee.
The Senator says, if I had examined the
treaties or 1817 and 1819, and compared therri
before I made “these unfounded assertions,” I
would have found, that the treaty of 1819, ‘‘did
not re-aojust a single article or provision of the
treaty of 1817, nor abrogate it, or set it aside, sd
tar as the interest of Georgia, or any other inte
rest was involved, in the slightest particular >f
It these assertions are correct, why has not the
J 1 and 4th articles of the treaty of ISlt, beerl
executed ? Why was not the census taken of
the iower towns ? And the exchange of lands
as contemplated, consummated ? The Senator
will find, on examination, his assertions not
sustained by the facts.
lo show the Senator that mv views irt
relation to the treaty of 1819, are not peculiar
to myself. I will refer him to several public do.
| e,lts emanating from the Legislature of
i G eorgta, the Congress of the United States, and
distinguished individuals, who have expressed
i t ie same opinions I have, and made them pub*
lie many years ago.
1 begin with the remonstrance of the Legist
lature of Georgia, adopted in the year 1819 ; it
was drafted by the late Col. Duncan G.Camp;
bell, and approved by Governor Clark.
Lxtiacls from “the memorial* remonstrance
and protest of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the State of Georgia in General
Assembly met;” adopted unanimously.
“In 1817, commissioners acting under thd
authority ot the United States, treated with the
C herokee nation of Indians, some of whom re
sides within our limits. By this treaty, the in.
forests of Georgia were more regarded, and, We
believe, a plan laid which would have resulted
in the speedy extinction of the Indian claim
within our limits, and upon terms, not only
peaceable and ‘reasonable,’ but convenient, and
beneficial to the Union.”
“How we can be defeated of the interest, and
divested of tiie title which resulted from the
treaty, becomes a point of enquiry, and of feel
ing impoitance. Your memorialists acknow.
1 edge liie legality of no measure* which seeks
thus to defeat or divest them. On the contrary*
they insist upon the validity and the execution
ot that contract in all instances, in which it con.
veys a benefit.”
“Your memorialists beg leave farther to call
in question the articles ot convention between
the United Slates and the Cherokee nation of
Indians, concluded on the 27 th of February, 1819,
\\ e consider these articles as furnishing a fair
subject for the animadversion of Georgia. They
profess to nullify in a great degree the provisions
of the treaty of 1617, and to set up their own
provisions as substitutes therefor. As objection,
al as the original was, this substitute is the
more so. If tlie grant of reserves in the first,
furnished grounds of complaint, those in the last
aie much more offensive ; for the possibility of
reversion is not relained. Shall we be told that
all these measures find their justification in po
licy, and their apology in benevolence ? Shall
Uiis treaty be passed upon us in the imposing
form of humanity, and we compelled to subserve
its views and pay blind obedience to its com.
m ands? We trust that we may be heard ; and
that, it in uttering our complaints, we shall
speak with an unbecoming boldness, our excuse
may be found in the expended catalogued' In
dian aggression, and the aggravated series of
frontier suffering.”
1 bus the Legislature of Georgia, Unanimous
ly assert, and the Governor approves, that the
treaty or articles of 1819, “profess to nullify in
a great degree the provisions of the treaty of
1817, and to set up their own provisions, as sub.
stitutes therefor yet the Senator says, “ihe
treaty of 1819, did not re-adjust a single arli
clc or provision of the treaty of 1817, nor ab
rogate it, nor set it aside, in the slightest parti
cular, so tar as the interests of Georgia, or any
other interest was involved”—Acre, is an issue*
between, the Governor and Legislature of Geor
gia, and the Senator—the presumption, is that
the public functionaries of the State know, some
thing of the rights and interest of the State.
Extract of a letter from the Hon. Wilsoa
Lumpkin, to Governor Clark, dated
Milledgevili.e, Nov. Btb, 1819,
“Sia:—Under tiie treaty concluded at the
City of Washington, in February last, between
the Cherokee nation and the Secretary of War,
a small portion of land was acquired within the
limits of Georgia.”
Extract from ihe report of Mr. Gilmer :
“ By the same eighth article of the said treaty,
all the Cherokee Indians, who may choose to do
so, are authorized lo become citizens of the Uni
ted States. The committee are not aware of
the existence of a power of conferring the rights
of citizenshp in any other branch of the Govern
ment than Congress. They think it unneces.
sary to make further comment on this part of
trie subject. Ihe State of Georgia, would, how
ever, have had less reason to complain at pre
sent, notwithstanding all these causes, if the re
maining terms of this treaty had been executed
as agreed upon. The Indians contracted that
they would, in addition to the lands which they
had ceded absolutely, convey an additional quan
tity which should bear the same proportion to
the whole quantity of lands belonging to them*
as the Indians on the western side of the Mis
sissippi river, bore to Ihe whole nation. The
number of all tiie Indians were lobe ascertained
by the month of June, 1818, and commissioners
were then lo be appointed to divide the lands
according to the proportion just named. The
State of Georgia had a right to expect that those '
lauds would be laid off within its boundary. —
But the United States make another treaty with J
the same Indians, to wit: on the twenty-seventh
day of February, 1819, by which they yield up
to the Indians all the advantages derived from
the former, upon certain conditions. The com
| mittee are of opinion that the United Slates had
! no such power.”
The foregoing extracts show the opinions of
■ Governor Lumpkin and Governor Gilmer. The
! report asserts, that the treaty of 1819, “yields
| up to the Indians, all the advantages derived 4
from the former, (the treaty of 1817,) upon cer. •
tain conditions;” yet it is said by the Senatbt, •
tiie interest of Georgia, “is not effected in the
slightest particular.” This is the second issue,
since tendered the defender of tho treaty of
1819; why was not the report of Gov. Gilmer
attacked?
I also, annex tho following, which- sustains
what the Senator has been pleased to say, has
done him great injustice.
Extract of a letter from the Georgia Delegation
in Congress, to the President of the United-
States, dated,
“Washington, 10th March, 1838.
