As charily should begin at home I can hut regret that the good people of iVnn sylvaniu would not coniine ibeniM'lvcti to a careful examination of their own'ielutions and conduct to the Indian race ; and whilst they are pouring out their sympathies wi'h sneli Ireedom over (he dherokees, they should he reminded that, il they had been generous in i lie use ol il at, home, so much would not have been on hand to supply loreign market;., when neither religion nor justice r, quires it. Chari ly is a domestic arli te, use lul u l home, and should never he exported except, under extra ordinary circumstances. It is deeply Irnmili tiling to observe the character of man, the tendencies of his nature. A better man than William I'emi scarcely ever lived ; Ins whole life was remarked by strong virtues, and was influenced by strong common sense; ho al ways chnso tlm lesser evil ; he had more than the suavity ul the present day; none ul its false philanthropy—he lived for Ins clay.— Rum ho knew to be the bane of the savage ; ho, thcruldre, denied n to ihcin ; I;;;,,, 1,,.. knew to be the object of his people; he, j therefore, obtained ii for them : fur have it | they rnuot—tpobln n il peaceably was dc-mi hie.

Ah struct and metaphysical morality, perhaps, nmy deny the position ; it u not my business i to vindicate it.

I am thus particular, Mr. Chairman, to show the treatment Georgia has received ; to present to (he people of the Union the injustice she has ! fullered, l j lt! patience she has exhibited, Iho Christian forbearance which has marked her sub. mission amidst the embarrassing difficulties and disappointments which lids Government caused by Us neglect ot solemn engagements. Remem ber, in 1817 our rights were partially regarded, and our territory obtained. In 181‘J our rights divested, our prospects blighted; iho Indians, instead of being removed, were arranging for permanently remaining, and this Government approving these- arrangements; and if Georgia utteis a complaint, files a protest, or uses that "ultima ratio ” of some nomiclane, remonstrance, she i« - x _ .aiarged wit lx violence, cruelly, and imuu. , to iho Indians. Such conduct is insulting lo the ! leulings of every Georgian, disreputable to the General Government. We have paid millions lor the mere obligation to extinguish the Indian titles.

J Georgia for all this: Have you charged your obligations l have you acted in good faith ? No, sir ; lo vindicate yourself as a Government, and as an obligor, you have slander ed your creditor ; when she has requested pay* ment, you speak of her importunities. Sir, the whole conduct of this Government towards Georgia, on this transaction, has been faithless and dilatory. Why has it been sol Mere ava rice; a dc.lfro lo obtain for herself—to procura millions, for her own use, by neglect of her obli* gallons lo us. To add to all this, in making (his treaty of 1819 and others, you violate the compact, by placing it out of iho power of the Government to dischaige il ; you guaranty in fee simple *>i.x hundred and furiy acres to each head of an Indian family who reside within the ceded territory, who choose to become citizens of the United Slates, Is this extinguishing the Indian occupant lights lor the use of Georgia 1 JNo, sir, lot iho i use ol the Indian—ho or she is lo have theabso.-. hue lee, and the consequent right of individual alienation or sale to whom he or she pleases. ; Ami yet wo are told, Georgia is 100 clamorous, j | Mr. Chairman, 1 ask of gentlemen who have ■so frequently expressed themselves unkindly, if they are not convinced of the injustice of their censure 1 la 1808, iho Gherokeos in Georgia "ere anxious lor a treaty ; the Government, pew ! haps, was too much invoiye.l in foreign ilillieul- j ties and embargoes to intend to such matters ; I wo did not protest at that lime—no, sir, nut even j remonstrate.

Our citizens have no secure (you the frontier, and they are either compelled i to abandon their homes, and suiter starvation, or remain with almost a certainly ot being massa ' ctcd by the sav ages. Many of onr frontier set* j tiers; would gladly avail themselves of the scanty | pittance for their families which would he receiv ed by volunteer service in the army, but their pro positions arc met with the reply that there are troops in service already sufficient. The best evi deuce we have to disprove this, is the fact of tho fiequcnt depredations and murdsrs committed hy j j the savages, and is we think sufficiently conclu- | sive. The government have mostly withdrawn their, supplies, and commenced calculating the expense of protecting the defenceless citizen, as | though the value of human fife could lie estima ted hy the pitiful calculation ol dollars and cents. For the honor of our country and the cause of humanity, it is lime this course was abandoned.
