PRESIDENTS
According to our promise, we shall proceed to no-

the appeal of the vice president of the United States,
on account of the charge preferred against him in a
letter from Elijah Mix, as published in the Alexan-

The following correspondence took place on the

oubted, that Mix's accusation against Mr- Calhoun,
pronounced a base calumny by Mr Barbour;
h-jt the letter to "Hancock \er filed in the
iffice, or further entertained therein, except to ope-
as being a corrupt man and
use calumniator. Mr. Barbour, however, one of
he i tinded gentleman of our country,
needed not *' verification of his statement even by hia
,-orthy colleagues.
The following is the deposition of major Salltrlce
dark. It is a history of Mix's letter:
I am the author of some piect, MJ ork,"
nd "Young Hiflo," whieh were published in the
utumn of 1825, in the New York National Advocate.
, eriod, thy columns of a scurrilous paper, in
his city, believed to be under the control of Mr. Cal-
icmn aud his friends, were employed to disseminate
he vilest slanders against me. The papers contain*
ng these slanders were sent to the city of New York,
nd thrown into hotelg aud reading rooing, the keepers
of which did eot subscribe for them, and at the time,
his was done, an important suit was there depending
between the United States and myself. On the 9th
day of November, 1S25, the letter, which I yester-
day gave to the chairman of this committee, was re-
ceived by me at the office of the New York National
\dvocate, and from the hands of the editor, by whom
t had been opened. A conversation then ensued
between the editor and myself, as to the propriety of
the letter. He said, "it would make a
devil of a noise, that nobody could blamo me, con-
sidering the course which had been puri-uol, in rc-
ation to myself, by Mr. Calhoun and the Washing-'
on City Gazette; that the publication of the letter
would mortify the vice president, when he found that
lis old friend Mix had turned against bin), and that
tie deserved to sufler the mortification for the _
ad taken in the infamous plot against Mr
lord." I replied, "the letter shall nolbepubh

wrote, as above mentioned. On the evening of the
2-lUi Drcemtier. I was introduced to a gentleman of
the n mie of Howes Goldsborough in this city '
ing that he had previously been a contractor with
government about fortifications, I asked him if h-
got the contract this )ear? he replied he h.
but that FJijah Mis. had got the certiticate of the offi-
cer that he, Mix, was entitled to it; he being the
lowest bidder I asked him. if the secretary
jet has no power over t. He replied, that the con
trart had not been made, and that the secretary could
otherwise dispose of it if he should think proper. 1
remarked, that I had in my possession a letter, pur
porting to be written by E Mix, which, if genuine. I
would induce the secretary of war to refuse
to make a contract with him. He replied to me he
was well acquainted with the hand writiru of Mix.
and if I would shew it to him, he could tell if it were
genuine. I did so; he pronounced it genuine, and
said he could swear to it. He asked my permission
to take a copy for the purpose of shewing it to the
secretary of xvar. I pave my permission, and he took
a copy I afterwards concluded it would be most
delicate and proper for me to go to the secretary of
war with the original letter; but, as I was personally
unacquainted with the secretary. 1 called on judge
Anderson, first comptroller, for advice. He had
served with my father in the revolutionary war, and
had always been friendly to me, and I could rely on
his judgment and friendship. 1 shewed the letter to
him, and told him the object I had in view in calling
upon the secretary. He advised me to call on the
secretary and shew him the letter; expressing his
belief that the secretary would be obliged to me for
the information. Accordingly, I went to the secre-
tary's house on Christmas morning; I stated to him
his predecessor had been very much censured for
making a contract with Elijah Mix, that I had the
evening before been informed that Mix was again
an applicant for a contract at Old Point Comfort,
and heard he was the lowest bidder; that, in my
opinion, it would be neither honorable nor safe lor
biro to contract with Mix. In addition to all which
bad heretofore been said of Mr. Mix, I had, in my
pocket, further evidence of his rascality. He had
written me a letter, in which he had vilely slandered
Mr. Calhoun, which letter I wished to shew him; I
put the letter into his hands, and he commenced
reading it; before he had gotten through reading the
letter, he broke off, and said, it is, indeed, an infa
mouse -lumny Aflerhehad read tne letter thr- ugh,
be said he would make no contract with the rascal;
he might probably charge him with going snacks if
did; he considered him civiliter mortuus As he
did not offer to return the letter to me, I remarked to
him, as soon as he should have decided on the con-
tract, I should call on him for it. It was my belief
he would shew the letter to Mix himself, and it was
my intention, if Mix admitted the Ictier to be genuine,
to send it to Mr. Calhoun.
On the evening previous to the publication in the
Alexandria paper, a captain Thornton, whom 1 had
known during the war, commanding a company of
yoluntee. cavalry, toid m he ha.) heard the c u -
stances which 1 have recapitulated, and asked me if I
had any objections to show him the letter. I reph-
ed, the letter was in the possession of the secretary
of war, and I had retained no copy of it. He asked
me if there was tio one in the city who had a copy.
1 told him Mr. Goldsborougb had taken a copy, but
whether he had retained it, or given it to the secre-
tary of \*ar, 1 did not know. He then cal.etj on Mr
Goldsborough, and asked permission to see the copy,
if he had it in his possession (this was in my pre-
sence). Mr. Goldsborough cauie to me and asked
me, (we were all in the same room at supper, at
Williamson's), if I had any objection to capt. Thorn
reing the copy I said I had none. Captain
Thornton took it. went out of the room, was absent
two or three minute*, not more, returned and gnva
\ hark either to Mr. Goldsbornuffc* or my-
t If: 1 don't know which I did not know he had
opy, nor did I suppose he had been absent
i 'tlicn-tit tune to have done it He then made some
remark, which induced me to suppose lie was con-
nected with some newspaper, upon which I stated to
him that I was ignorant of his being connected with
r. and that, if he had ivide a copy of
the letter, 1 hoped he would not publish it. That it
was not my province to advise as to what editorial
remarks he mi^ht think proper to make on Mr Mix;
but 1 should be very sorry, if th?; kit- r should ever
appear in the public prints. It is my belief, that Mr.
Thornton had a copy x\hen he came there, and his
object was to compare it, either with the original
or another copy. This is my inference, from the
short time he had the copy from Mr. Goldsborough.
Thornton immediately left me. I was much sur-
prised and displeased, when, next morning, I saw
what purported to be a copy of the letter, in the news-
paper.
Question fry Mr. Wright Have you any papers, go-
ing to shew that Mr. Calhoun ever participated in
any contract?
Jli\swe> No.
By Mr. Wright Do you know of any contract be-
ing entered into by the war department, while Mr.
Calhoun was secretary of war, in which he was,
either directly or indirectly interested, or conducing
to show such interest, or of the profits of which he
received any part? If yea, state particularly what
you know, and name those persons, if any, you have
heard accuse Mr Calhoun of being interested in any
such contract, or of receiving any part of the profits
of any such contract.
flnswerl do not. I have already stated, that I
did not know of any contract in which he was inte-
rested; nor did I believe he participated in the pro-
its of any such contract.
Among the interrogations to major Clark were
he following:
Question by Mr. Clarke, (member of the committee)
Did the vice president know of the letter of Mix to
you before the same was made public through the
Phoenix Gazette? and, if yea, what reasons have you
to suppose he had such knowledge?
flnsiver It is my belief that the vice president has
known the existence of the letter for a long time.
My reasons for believing so are, that major Vande-
venter has known of its existence, and I presume
from the circumstances of the intimacy between,
major Vande* enter and Mr. Calhoun, and from its
containing charges against them both, that major
Vandeventer hud communicated the fact of the ex-
istence of this letter to Mr. Calhoun.
(incstioH by Mr bigersoll What reason have you to
believe thai major Vandeventer knew of the exist-
ence of the letter prior to its being handed by you to
gov. Harbour?
Answer Major Vandeventer has so stated in con-
versation, to several gentlemen, as those gentlemen
informed me, and that he wus informed of it by Mix's
brother, \\ho, 1 believe, is a lieutenant in the United
-States' navy. I have had no personal intercourse or
conversation with major Vandeventer upon the sub-
ject.
The testimony and examination of Mix is very long,
and several letters to hisa from major Vandeventer
are appended: but as the committee placed no reliance
un the testimony of Mix, we shall not insert it. It
would chiefly go to shew the partnership ol Vandeven-
ter in the contract, and that they had quarrelled, but
afterwards agreed to burn the papers Mix, however,
NTLES' REGISTER MARCH 3,1 827 TIfE VICE PRESIDENTS APPEAL.
thout;nl it prudent to retain a few of them. Accord-
ing to his account, though he had made the contract,
major Vandeventer ruled in all things belonging to it
'with a rod of iron," and divided it a* he pleased,
&c. but V. says that the fourth partner was intro-
duced hy Mix, &c. The major appears to have been
fully aware of the delicate situation in which he h:m
self stood as to this contract, as the following letter
will shew Ii should be read, however, in connec-
tion wilh the deposition that follows:
6, accompanying Elijah Mix's deposition.
D ear borough has a<am come before the
secretary, and the secretary has told him you would
pot put any obstacles in his wa> : oui, if you did. he
then would decide lhat payments be in.ide to him for
ild make on the part ol the
-act the company own. The secretary would
have decided at once, but upon my representation
that you would give the necessary authority volun-
tarily for pi> 'lie:, t-. to Goldsborough & Co Nor un-
til this morning did I know the consequences to in),
felf if you oblige the secretary to interfere. I there-
request that you will not leave New York until
I arrive there. I will leave here on Monday morn-
vour conduct in this matter will depend
ther or no I shall return to my functions in thi-
department. It has finally come to that unfortunate
it. You can stay the evil or complete the rum.
Truth obliges me to speak thus plain. The issue can
be i : voided. I -ill state fully to you my
situation when I see you in New York.
Yours, truly, C. V A MB K VENTER.

Testimony of major Vandevtnttr.
January 1<>. litl Major Vandeventer appeared
before the committee, and being duly sworn, depos-
ed and said, that the contract was formed with the
engineer department, I thi.ik, the last part of July.
I had not the lea*t agency in procuring said
contract, nor the slightest interest in it at its forma-
tion. At the time it was made it was coiiMdercd by
i.-nenced in such business, as a bad
uid as "ruinous to the contractor." Mr.
Mix finding difficulty in procuring security on ac-
count, a I believe, of this impression ot 'the contract,
lie applied to me for my assistance; \\ e had married
n an undertaking; from no
M hot km<:
family, and the mortification of seeing one standing
in the i ' -t he did to me, fail in a public en
mined to afford him what aid I could

ous to my being so inieresu-d. I intimat-

ing the particulars of the case, nn
be done with propriety , to in\r^t money iri it; that Mr
Calhoi ; <1 not be illegal :<
^ as t'o law to prohibit it. but be thought it would ev
pose me to improper insinuations, and would
fore be injurious I had subsequently no furuter
conversation with the secretary, and it is due to him
to slate, that I have every reason to believe that he
remained under the impression that I had declined,
in accordance with his suggestion, being concerned
in the contract, and that he remained ignorant of my
actual connexion until after the subject was first
moved in congress, at which time I had partt
:.k're>t in it. Feeling, however, uneasy on
account of my liability, I determined to secure my-
self in the manner a'iove *t tied ; in doing so, 1 belitved
I violated no law, and that I could not by possibility
do injury to the public. 1 neither had nor could
have control over the contract it was made in tho
engineer department, and was executed wholly
through that department, without : its de-
tails, through myself or any other clerk, in the imme-
diate otSce of the secretary, and in fact, neither
while a portion of the contract remained in me, nor
at any time before or since, did I ever attempt d
rertly or indirectly
relation to it, nor has the public, to my knowledge,
suffered the least loss by my connexion with it, but,
MI the contrary. I believe it A as owing to my
ance, given from motives which I have stated, that
the contract, which at the time was supposed to bo
on terms favorable to the public, was executed at all.
" do not excuse myself for this participation by tho
jrevious example of others in the departments being
engaged in transactions of this kind, although such,
instances existed, as 1 do not conceive it necessary to
ny justification.
So soon as I found that I could free tnyself from
my original responsibility, 1 determined to separate
myself from all connexion wilh the contract, which
" did, by re-conveying to Mr. Mix himself one half
of the portion that! held, in October, 1819; but a few
nonths alter 1 purchased from him; and the rein tin
der to Mr Cooper in January following I took this
Hep, when by the great fall of prices in freight and
abor, the contract promised to be very profitable,
nut I was induced to do it after having effected the ori-
ginal object 1 had in view in entering into it, that of
securing myself, from a sense of delicacy as connect*
cd with my situation. This took place before tho
subject was agitated in congress.* For the fourth.

the bill ol* sale, I think $!<! 000. #6,000 of w!
however, was never paid to me, but was inserted to
conclude the tr. ^;,000 was paid to me, and

contract? or were his decisions strict and rigorous,
in their operation a^ai, st i ?
Jinsicer His decisions were always considered as
strict and rigorous, in the extreme, in their opera-
tion upon it.
A great mass of testimony is brought to hear against
the character of Mix but there cannot be any possi-
ble use in inserting it His character is established,
All the officers testified tfieir utter igm/raiiee that

JYo/n the National Intelligenoer, of Fr.h. 23
ifhe following is the reply of Mr. Met' cille of Ken-
tucky, to the communication from Mr. McDuilie,
inserted in the List lUf.itTER.
A publication in tl,e V.ti .nul Intelligencer of the
19th instant, over the bi^uatuie of Genre JUcDvJ
has attracted my notice; and shall receive an an-
swer, whic.ri would have been promptly furpisbed,
but that 1 was then associated in the ail'air with ano-
ther ^untleaian ar.d friend,, whom I considered it mj
duty tq consult, before I proceeded to act -itig]\,
and on my ow.: nv-|'0ii.-;bihty Having been juslh
regardful of that dity i now proceed to state, tha
it i* not. my intention, upon Uns, or any other ocra
jl^ti, tu engage ni a uew|>oper controversy j but mere-
ly to make a remark or two, in relation to the course
which Mr. MeDuflie has thought tit to pursue, and
which, he seems to believe, was necessary to the
protection of his character.
The IIMS statement of facts whirh he made is ac-
knowledged by him Denial would have added no-
thing to his justification.
He regrets exceedingly that Mr. Campbell and
in\-elf in correcting his erroneous statement of the
tact* should have thought it ne.ces-ar) l " niake the
allusion we did, to the vice president. And \vh) so?
i;rcau>e, he says, the vice president "had no ngmcy
in the production of the letter which had proved so
. further than to suggest the trn>nu ol one
or two sentences, and the mitigntioii ol the language
of perhaps as many more 51 Iceitainl) li-ve no dis-
position to rob Mr McDulhe of the credit of beir.s;
the author of that letter; whilst, at the same time,
I conceive, that it was made out with the kuo\' ledge
and approbation, and under the direct sanction, of
the vice president ."
I, therefoie felt myself called on to notice it, with
full authority to name that gentleman. What part
he may have taken in drafting and preparing it, and
how iar the rashness of the avowed author may have
Seen bridled b) his suggestions, are matters about
which' I feel the most entire indifference, nor are
they at all material to my purpose.
But Mr. McDuttie adds, "1 should have been more
dian willing myself to avoid any controversy; and
there is certainly nothing in the substance of the
communication of gen Metcalfe and Mr. < ampbell,
that 1 should have deemed it necessary to notice in
this public manner, but for the terms which they
have characterized the error which I committed."
And again -'that he will not assume the responsi-
bility of interpreting our languuge, for fear he should
do injustice," &c What, under such circumstances,
should hare been Mr. McDufBe's course as a gentle-
man? It was the terms in whjch his error was char-
acterized to which he objects If those terms were
offensive to him, his remedy, as a man of honor and
bravery, wa-^ obvious. If the language was so "equi-
vocal" that he could not "assume the responsibility'*
of interpretation, it was not less plain. Its interpre-
tation, or any honorable satisfaction, if called for,
would have been promptly furnished. He seems to
have forgotten, that whilst he thinks he has laid
aside his own judgment in the construction of the
language used and has acted on his fears of what
might be the construction of others, he must neces-
sarily be considered as viewing that language as of-
fensive.
Opprobrious epithets are not the weapons with
which men of honor should settle theJr controver-
sies I will not descend to them. It is suHn ient
for my purpose that Mr. McDuffie considered him-
self as insulted. Otherwise, his replication was un-
called for; and that, without demanding an explana-
tion, he hah, hy his publication, attempted to redeem
himself from the influence of thai supposed insult.

FOREIGN NEWS.
Great Britain and Ireland. L'y an arrival at Nor-
folk, European intelligence has been received to the
17th of January.
The duke of Yurk died on Friday evening, trie: 5th
of January, ul a >ft rii-s of dn}s>, at the house of the
duke of Rutland, in the 64th yt-ar of his age, and was
interred in the royal mausoleum at Windsor. The pa-
B filled \\ ith pane ijyricks on his life and charac-
ter. 15y his death the succession to the crown falls
on the duke of Clarence, who is the presumtive heir
to the throne. It was supposed that lord Wellington
would succeed the duke, as commander in chief of
the army.
lent storm had been experienced in London
by which much damage was done to a cumber of ves-
sels principally American.
Spain. The Spanish army of observation, on the
Portuguese frontiers, is to be limited, it is said, to
6,000 uen, and some doubts are entertained whether
even that number can be supplied in the slate of
Ferdinand's military force.
The news from the Peninsula is still of a conflict-
ing uncertain character. Mr. Lamb had not q-.iiUed
Madrid on the 2d ult. but letters of that date state,
(according to the Quvtidienne) t that the Spanish go-
vernment, without being alarmed at the threats of
England, is actively preparing the means of defence^
in order, '-that if the British cabinet should proceed
to acts of aggression, Spain should not be taken un-
provided." Troops are proceeding in all directions
to the frontiers ol Portugal, and several parks of ar-
tillery, it is said, have taken the same direction.
Some regiments have also been despatched to the
catnp of San R-jque, to watch Gibraltar.
The Quotidicnne, a French ultra paper, and the
organ of the apostolicals, states positively that Fer-
dinand has rejected the demands of the British go*
verument with more firmness than civility; arid the
London Courier, a paper likely to be well acquainted
with the matter, speaks of the state of the negotia-
tions as most unsatisfactory. It is staled that the
church, the only body possessed of wealth in Spain,
has offered la support Ferdinand with all its treasure
and its influence, and an army estimated at from 8 to
16 000 men, is assembling on the frontiers of Portu-
gal
Portugal The disorders on the frontier of Portu-
gal are not as yet put down. It is stated, that on the
20th of Decembar, the fortress of Alroedia, the most
important place in Portugal, had surrendered to the
Portuguese royalists Th garrison, 1000 strong, pro-
claimed the infant don Miguel, king, swearing to
maintain his title till death. A regency, to act for
him, has been established at Lamgo, the marquis
of Chavea, president
Greece. The following important intelligence is
from the London Times. "There is at length good
ground for congratulating Europe on the adoption of
a final and decisive measure on behalf of Greece, by
the three great powers of Great Britain, France, and
Russia. The cabinets of London and St. Petersburg
bad, some tune ago, transmitted their ultimatum to
Turkey on this subject. The court of the Thuileries
has acceded to the policy of its allies within (he last
fortnight, and resistance by Turkey to their joint de-
mands is wholly out of the question. The point in-
sisted on amounts to nothing Jess than a full recogni-
tion by the porte of the absolute and entire indepen-
dence of the Greek nation, which recognition is to be
officially communicated to the parties requiring il by
a given day; failing which the ambassadors of the al-
lied Christian courts are, on that same day, simulta-
neously to quit Constantinople. Consuls were, at the
expiration of the ultimatum, to be sent to Greece from
England, France and Russia."
The last account from lord Cochrane represented
him as being at Marseilles, on the point of departing
for Greece.

of the petitioners, by the French government prior to
the year 1800, were tak:n up. After sotne conversa
tion between Messrs Holmes, Chandler, fazeicell, ami
IfTrite, they were, -n motie i of Mr. King, postponed
to Tuesday next, and made the order for that day.
/ ,/mson. of Ky from the committee on the post
offi< e and pot roads, to which was retVrrt d tin bill re
guiatins the post office department, reported the same
with an amendment, allowing the privilege oi frank-
imj to the secretary of the senate.
The unfinished business of yesterday being taken
up, the consideration of the bill regulating the inter
course between the United States and the colonies of
Great Britain was resumed the amendment ottered
by Mr Smith, of Md. still pending,
Dickerson moved that the bill be laid on the ta-
ble, but withdrew the motion at the instance of Mr.
Smith ot Maryland.
Mr Smith expressed a wish to reply to the remarks
of Mr. Johnston, of Lou. made yesterday, and proceed-
ed to speak when Mr. Dickerson renewed his mo-
tion.
The chair decided that the motion would not be in
order until the senator from Md. had concluded his
remarks, the motion having been withdrawn.
Mr Dicktrson said he did not withdraw the motion
for the purpose of discussion upon the bill, but upon
the motion itself.
tmith yielded the Boor, and the question being
taken on Mr. Dicfcsrson's motion, it was determined
in the negative, as follows 1

Mr Smith, of Md. rose, and spoke about one hour
and a half in reply to Mr. Johnston, oi Lou. and in
support of his amendment.
Herrien spoke against the bill as reported by
the committee, and concluded his remarks by saying
that he would vote for the substitute offered by Mr.
South*
Mr. Woodbury, after some remarks, offered an
amendment, the object of which was to authorize the
president to remove the discriminating duty, in cas
Great Britain should rescind her orders before the
30th of September. The amendment was agreed to.
Mr Van Buren rose and spoke at length: He took
a view of the circumstances which brought us into the
present difficulties with Great Britain, and vindicatec
congress from the charge of neglect; which he consi
dered as being imputable to the executive only. He
also disapproved both of the original bill and of UK
substitute. After other remarks, he said, He did no
think itnecessary to threaten Great Britain, nor did ht
think it proper to be over-apprehensive of the resul
of strong measures. He would say courteously bu
firmly to Great Britain, if you will open your port
on reciprocal and just terms, we will open ours; i
not, at a proper time, he should ofler amendments
which would make the bill accord with his views.
Mr. Johnston, of Louisiana, spoke in reply tc
Messrs, lierrien and Van Buren; and went into state
merits and arguments showing that no error could b<
imputed to the executive, from the facts staled b
the gentlemen.
Mr. Btrritn rejoined, for the purpose of showin;
that the executive had three or four opportunitie
of obtaining favorable terms from Great Britain, am
'he reasons offered by the gentleman from Louisian
jfjr the delay were insufficient.

vi the following sketch of a speech lately de-
livered in Parliament, to conclude our subject for the
Lord A. Hamilton presented a petition from the
weavers of Glasgow, and of the county of Limr.rk.
; i tine; their extreme, distress, and praying for
relief The noble lord observed, that it was ex-
ceedingly painful to him to read the description of
- of destitution, hopelessness, and
under which the weavers of the county winch he
had the honour to represent, were. sutierim;; knotting
as he did imu accurately that description conformed
to the melancholy facts of the case. Many of them,
they said, were without any employment at all.
That he knew to be case; and that of course they were
in utter want, and .-uH'erin? absolute starvation. They
said that most of them worked for fourtttn or
/tours a day, and at the end of the week had
only six shillings, five shillings, and some as little as
four shillings and sixpence. That he also knew to
be the fact. It was further stated by the petitioners,
that, in consequence of their n<-( t-ssitio, they were
destitute of decent clothing, and were thereby pre-
vented from attending divine service. Their repre-
sentations on this h ad, so far from bein.
ed, to his knowledge fell short of the truth. The fa-
milies of the weavers were crying to them for luvad,
which they were unable to give; how then was it pos-
sible that they could artord clothes?
"He knew many worthy and honest men among
the weavers, who lamented this circumstance, with
reference not only to the present calamity, but to the
evils which it would entail upon their offspring,
whom they could not send either to schools for edu-
ction, or to places of divine worship, and who
would therefore lose every every opportunity of be-
coming imbued with those right principles which
alone could fiiiide them in their progress through life.
He declared that he had not overstated the case of by
far the largest portion of the petitioners. The pray-
er of the petition would make good his assertion; for
what did it ask? It did not ask for charily; but feel-
i utter helplessness and hopelessness, the peti-
tioners asked for that which was the punishment of
crimes exile; they asked for the means of emigrat-
ing from their native land. That of itself spoke vo-
lumes aa to the- actual sufferings which they were en-
during. Indeed ,they were too evident to admit of
any contradiction of the statement."

When we *r<! awfully told by the president of the
United States, that he will be compelled, under cer-
tain circumstances, by an obligation "ev< n higher
than that of human authority," to u?e the military
arm 1 ' of the union, to prevent the enforcement of a
law of a state, passed under the guarantee of a treaty
of the union, solemnly ratified and promulgated as
the -upieme law of the land, by the proper authori-
ties thereby rights have been vested in tf.
which no/iumcm authority can divest it of, but by the
strong a?-m of power. When the executive of the
state tells us that "he will resist to the utmost, any
military attack which the government of the United
States shall think proper to make on the territory, the
people, or the sovereignty of Georgia" it is indeed time
to stand upon our defence; and having asserted our
rights, to prepare to maintain them. We will not then
wait for further orders.
The colonels under my command will therefore
forthwith, have their regiments in the best possible
attitude of readiness to meet the worst state of things,
which may grow out of any attempt to prevent the
right to pursue the ends for which our government
was instituted To establish the sovereignty and in-

Bess of sentiment and language can have no dura

every attempt to dragoon it. It /wufs- t

table project of improving the condition of the press
'throughout the country/' by means of the public
printing, whether it be bestowed as a boon for obse-
quiousness, or taken away as a punishment for in
uependence and integrity of conduct.
'.'. : . \ an Buren would not have
beea considered entitled to the consequence we have
given to them, in these few remarks, but for the vole
by which they were followed up and sustained,
which exhibited an organized strength of two and
twenty votes in favor of the measure, which, we
say without reserve or hesitation, we do not believe
the reason of a single individual of the whole num-
proved. Not desiring to be thought to speak
ectfully of tmy of these gentlemen, we must
explain that we confine our application of the word
n" to the merits of the thing actually to be
d of, viz: the printing of the senate. In a
political or party ense, it is true, we can conceive
fiou * nv gentlemen should think it very reasonable
to give consequence, by their votes, to a print estab-
lished here to rail at the administration, right or
wrong, and which must be admitted to have been true
to its vocation. But even in that sense, it was lamen-
table to see such men as our old friend Dickerson,
the incorruptible Macon, and Smith of South Caro-
lina, Benton, of capacious mind, and Chandler, of
blunt honesty, not to speak of oihers, ranging them-
selves under the standard of a new cabalistical party
.'. ition, the fir-4 object of which, when brought
to a head, was to "improve the condition of the
Oy proscribing the National Intelligencer, and
identifying the senate of the U S. with the Telegraph!
The intention might have been disclaimed, had not
'.e been preceded by the observations of Mr.
Van Buren. They gave to that vote its true character.
and to Mr. Van Huron's remark its right interpre-
tation. The force of party, could no further go.
Ancient connections, recent associations, personal
attachnv-nts. all melted into thin air before the wand
of the great magician. U is really a lamentable sub-
,'ion. For their own sakes, it griev-
e<> us o -ee such men yielding al) the inclinations
of their hearts, along with the convictions of their
. to the p;rand political scheme, by winch
th vote of New York is to be secured to the newly
organized party, and, as the price of it, Mr. Van
Uuren is to be any thing he pleases. This, oi
. the reader will be good enough to understand
ir opinion, but, for that opinion we shall,
u hat appear to us, to be very sub-
stantial re;.
To Mr. Van Burcn's elevation to higher office
than he now holds, on proper principles, we should
have, had no objection. In the hist presidential elec-
tion he acted throughout with firmness and consisten-
cy: we should have been very willing to have seen
him elected vice president at lhat time, and would,
, if we could, Lave promoted his elevation to
the honorable station now occupied by his? friend and
-ful competitor, Mr. Caihoun. But when he

>o/rfJ, That the state of Georgia has the right
to extinguish the title to the lands of the Indians
within her territory, and to legislate for them in all

commerce wilh the Indian tribes."
3. Resolved, That the surveying lands in the occu
pancy of the Indians, within the limits of the state of
<jeoria, and by authority of her legislature, is not
an interference with the rights of congress to "regu-
late commerce with the Indian trines."
4. Rtsolred, That the treaty of the Indian Springs,

The house concurred in the resolution for the an-
t-nt of this committee, and Mr.
Mr. Basalt were named of the foamiif.ee on it* part.
The speaker then rose and addressed the house as
follows:
Gentlemen of Ihe. house r>f
It was with unaftec.te d diffidence, at the commence-
ment of this congress, that I entered upon the duties
of the distinguished station to which your partiaJ/tj
has pleased U^ca,! me. For the favorable estimate
you have this day? expressed of my official labors, I
: t my most grateful acknowledg-
The generous support which has been uni-
formly given to the decisions of the chair, and the
indulgence which has been extended to me, in th
:e of every other duty, have left on ray
heart an impression as enduring as life.
If the deliberations of this congress have not re-
sulted in many acts of great national interest, it
has ar.s n from no omission on the part of the re-
presentatives of the people to devote their time
and talents to the public service; but is attributa-
ble, in part, to the happy condition of the coun-
try, which required few changes in its establish-
ed policy, and, in part, to a difference of opinion
hetv.-ee.n the two branches of the legislature in re-
gard to some measures of primary importance.
Under your fostering care, however, our estab-
lishments for defence, both military and naval, have
advanced towards maturity; ihe means of informa-
tion -and commercial intercourse have been extend-
ed; the national debt has been reduced; and your
best efforts have not been wanting to afford protec-
tion and encouragement to our navigation and ma-
nufacturers.
More than two thousand subjects, of various de-
scription, presented for legislation, have been examin-
ed and reported upon, by the committees of this house,
whose valuable and persevering labors entitle them
to public gratitude. Although many important bills
are arrested in their progress by the termination of
congress, the industry and intelligence- which havo
been employed in maturing them will not be lost.
To the hands of our sucessors we may safely con-
fide the doings of whatever the nation shall require
to be done.
With earnest prayers that the services in which
we have been engaged may redound to the general
welfare; that each of you, under the guidance of a
protecting Providence, may meet your families anil
friends in health and prosperity, and longerijoy the
confidence and esteem of your constituent?; in clos-
ing the session, I wish you an affectionate farewell.
Mr. ll'ebsttr, from the committee appointed to wait
on the president of the United States, reported the per-
formance of that duty, and that the president had no
further communication to make to the hons.-.
A message was sent to the senate, notifying them
that the house is ready so adjourn; whereupon
The speaker then adjourned the house sine die.

In adverting to that letter, I shall content myself

he is at liberty to pubiis.h it. I shall have no

so, that I esteemed Mr- Adams as decidedly better
qualified for the presidency than gen. Jackson, and
th*t I would have roted for him after Mr Crawford's
chance of success was over. To this effect, 1 u rote
to Mr Clay in terras of perfect frankness
where is the commitment on my part to the adminis
tratjon? Is it because I preferred Mr. Adams thtn
that I must support him through all future time, no
^natter what may be his coarse of policy ? The same
obligation exists with all men who contribute to
elect any man to any office, to vote for him at the ex-
piration of his term; and tbis without regard to hi
course while in otfice. The boasted responsibility of
the public agent to his constituents becomes the
dream of a visionary, and there would be noth
stantial in our form of government. Instead of this.
it would soon grow into an ada;e once in office, al-
i office. The conclusion is ridiculous emui-ti.
Or is it because I do not believe Henry Clay, alou^
with the western delegation u with him, to
hate been bought and sw'./, for which, if guilty, ho atul
they deserved to be gibbeted, that I am therefore
bound to support an administration which may op
pose all ray conv. proper policy? Must I
wear a dagger to plunge into the bosom of every man,

1 a crisis so full of horror, it will be a
matter of little moment, who shall be "th.
rndaut." Error must be opposed with dif-
ferent weapons in a free country, where men will
think, and thinking, will differ in opinion. The
weapon there to be used, is that of reason and ar^u
is that weapon which gamed us the vx .-
tory of '93 and '09. The fact is undeniable, that a
majority of the electoral college of Virginia, if Mr
Crawford had been removed by the hand of death,
would have voted for Mr. Ad.:

ther excuse, for this, given by the French minister to Mr. Morris,
in his Liter of the i4th Octutxr, 17y3. is. "the extreme rigour with
which the Knglish and other belligerents treat all neutrals des-
timd for France." To which he atlds, "the difficulty of distin-
guishing our allies from our enemies has often been tht cause of
committed on bo-ird your vessels, all that the adminis-
tration could do is to order indemnification to those who have

is easily perceived that this humiliating concession was l.ltle re-
tin United State*, and much less in France. The se-
cond article of the treaty of commeroe of 1778 having provided

it was unreasonable to exptctthat Franc-- would insist on aright

Intimate commerce might be diverted from its destina-

Other claims were pressed upon us by France for injuries ol"
wlncti she romplaiiK-d; such as our proMMting the sale of her
mi ports: detention* . nurr.lui.il to permit
h t rto fit out and commission privateers; tleii) ing these privateers
an asylum in our ports, :inl restoring their pri7.es to her enemy;
permitting Bri'nih ships of war, generally, to enter our ports
after tiai ' rcnch vessels, and to repair and re-
fit; refusing to it-claim r'rcnch pri/.es ti-Uen in, or brought into
M by Untish ships, granting facilitic- to (ireat Britain ie

mittiug to the impressment of our seamen to sttengthen the
maritime power ol her enemy; aiding the insurgent* of St. Do-
tuingo, and many others, not necessary to b.- nanud.
complaints were for supposed infraction* of the treaty of
commerce many of tin m were undoubtedly grow-
th, ir character, equivocal, and others, perhaps, valid and jii<.
If any of the sri/.ures and detention of the
of i>
zens, can be justified by France, on the ground that the right re*
suit, il to her in consequence of concessions made to her c.n-my;
still this would not discharge our government from their obliga-
tion to remunerate our citizens for these losses. They, it vMniiii
seem, ought to be protected in a commerce carried on conforma-
bly to the laws of nations and existing treaties, as exfioinnlcd by
the government of the United States. If in this exposition the
United States were in the wrong, yet we can see much reason
why citiz/ns who adventure under the faith of th. ir owi
ment, should be compensated for losses tin.-, sustained. It an in-
ternational tribunal should determine, that, in some points ot the
controversy, France was right, and that the. seizures under her au-
thority, of the property of our citizens was conformable to the
laws of nations and existing treaties, still the American sufferer
might w- II d in ami of his government, compensation for injune*
arising from itsowi error. Be this as it may, it fotnost certain that
to .HI 0. property of our citizens, to | large amount, was*
wrested or plundered from them by authority of the French go-
vernment, without color of right, and even without the formality
ol adjudication. For these palpable injuries, the United States?
were most unquestionably bound to demand indemnity in behalf
of the sufferers.
Your committee will now proceed to examine the claims of
France arising under the treaty uf alliance.
By the llth article of that treaty, "the two parties guarantee
mutually, for the present and forever, against all other powers,
to wit: ih United Stat-.s to his most Christian majesty, the pre-
sent possessions of the crown of France in America, as well a*
thov it may acquire by the future treaty of ptace; and his most
(. hristtan majesty guarantees to the United Stales their liberty , so
Vi-r>ig"ty, and independence, absolute and unlimited, as well in
matters ot government a* commerce, ami also, their possessions,
and the possessions and additions or conquests that tin ir coiif. de-
ration may obtain duri.:g tin; war, irom any of the don. in ions now
or lien-tutor.; possessed by Gn at 13riiain in North America, con*
torrnat)!- to the 5th and Cth articles above written. The whole s
their possession shall be fixed and assured to the said states at the
moment oi the cessation ot the present war with Kngland." 1 lie
tilth and sixth articles alluded to, provided that if the U. States
should make conquest of the British possessions in North Ameri-
ca or Bermuda, iluse should belong to them, and that France
should renounce all claim to th -m; and it was further provided
in the inh article, that the nciprocat guaranty should have ef-
fect the. moment the war should commence between France and
K:. gland, or if no sJich war, then at the moment hostilities should
.it tn Great Britain and the United States." At the time
of the ratification of this treaty, the possessions of the crown ot"
France in Amtiica wi.re. we In li. ve, C'axei-ne on tin.- contmcnu
and (he islands it Domingo, Martlnico, Gaudalonpe, St. I.ucia-
St. Vinceiit, Tobago, Descada, Marie Gatante, St. Pierre, and -VK"

Iti the v.nr of our revolution, France lost several of these i*-
laiuh, which were restored to her !>> the peace ( ,f ITH.I. This gua-
ranty was "for the pre--nt and for- v. r;"' and should any other pow

do the grain-growing states bear this inequality in

by the invaluable trade which they have with OIHJ

Previous to entering upon a more general and par
licular examination of our great staple for export
cotton, we shall notice one product of agrioulliir
ha* a inus-t extraordinary character arid opera
tioti. indeed not on exports but on consumption; w
We sec it lately stated in the papers that col
Dummett, of Florida, has made thirty hhds. of suga
i.iised on thirty five acres of laud say
only 30,000 It's The duty, or tax, upon which, if im
ported, would be 900; and this a Pennsylvania farme
would, of itself, esteem a neat little profit on the cul
tivation of a whole farm, for a year. But such are
not so favored by soil and climate, and the bounty o
the general government.
The sugar crop of Louisiana is about 40,000 hhds
(less than 10,000 in 1810), or, say 44,000,000 Ibs
the du't/on which, if imported, in exchange for bread'
stutfV &c. would be one million three hundred am
twenty thousand dollars, and this is probably dividec
between less than two hundred persons or, if we
allow it to benefit all the people ol Louisiana, is
more than sixteen dollars per liend, for every man, wo
man, and child, ol the state, as a "bounty." Now, a
tax equil to this on all tho people of the U States
would produce a revenue of nearly one hundred and
sixty millions of dollars a year! Verily, verily, this Is
"taxing the. many for the benefit of the few" and
jet, wonderful 'o be told, Louisiana is opposed (o

h'dent'y make it ! ;he su^ar planu
ship-owners, that, if the tarid bill o! 1^-4 hud not
p;j-acd, the tax upon imported sugar would have
been reduced to two cents per Ib. arid that any de-
ficiency in the revenue which might have arisen from
thai proceeding, (though we believe thut it rai^ht
have increased the revenue by increasing Hie con-
sumption oj sugar) , wouid have been more than com-
pensated tor by withdrawing the fleets of men of-
war that are kept abroad ior the protection of pro-
perty in ships and their cargoes. These things would
not have taken place wholly on the retaliatory prin-
ciple, though the very worm that is trodden upon is
allowed to turn, but because of the special rightful-
ness of them, circumstanced as the grain growi
manufacturing interests were. If refused the meuivs
of paying taxes,f it was their bounden d'lty to re-
duce the amount of taxes demanded. There is a quid
ore quo which operates in every condition of life; and,
as the saying is, every prudent man will "cut liis
coat according to his cloth." Look at it! here was
Louisiana receiving a "hot-bed protection" of
1.320,000 dollars a year, in a bounty paid by Ihe peo-
Die on her sugar, and there were the ship owners
defended at the cannon's mouth, at the cost to the
eople of a much larger sum the whole trade to Uie
Mediterranean, for example, not taking oil' so much
of gross value in our products as the cost of the ileet
amounts to; and yet both these were against the
ariff bill of 1824, intended for the encouragement
)f our farmers and manufacturers, and supported by
heir representatives in congress, as the votes will yet
hew! We would net either "razee" the dutyonsu>

of the proposed amendment, would be perceptible bv con-
sideriii:; the i-eiative condition in which the trade v. ouh}

factory arrangement is made in the interim, uiu'er the

amendment should be adopted. On the iilst of Dccen -
her, under the senate's bill, all the acts of 181 s.
and 1 S'2;5, will stand as they now do, save only that the
discriminating duties will be repealed. The president
must, i.ssu.- hw proclamation under the act of 18^3, and

the act of 182:1, which suspends the acts 1818 taid 1S20.
being repealed, the acts of 1 SI 8 and lh"Ai are enforced
without a proclamation. The whole difFerence then is;
between an interdict preceded by a proclamation of the
president and an interdict without a proclamation. Kn-
teriainin^, as he did, the IK lief that the act ol' 1S'23 did
not vest a discretion in the president to withhold the pro-

We have a string desire to publish the speeehesof Mr.
Johnston, of Louisiana, and gen. tS'w -'///, of Maryland, on
vhe '-cnlnnial bill," and shall endeavour to icr.it il'y it, that
;.!r may fully understand the suhj-ot.* The fol-
lowing brief notices of those speeches, as we find them
quoted in the Ni.lionaJ Intelligencer, '' are much to the
^oint we have 1, ft out the remarks of the editors, but
followed their italic*.
A\ Smith sa.\s, in speaking of he proceedings at
-ion preceding the last, "1 took my own course,
and moved that the report of the committee on eom-
hould be recommitted, with instruction-*, and I
succeeded by a large majority of the senate. It was sent
to th'- committrte on finance, and I reported a bill, which
M-ould ! but for want of time. It was not re-
jected, a- Mr. Canning lias slated.'' Again, the venera-
tor sa\ v "The terms offered were liberal. "We
all addmhted that they were so; that we were perfectly
entisnVd w ith them. And why then did we not except
jdy answered that question: because.
congress had not time to act." And again, :,<M'akini; of
the bill at the session before the last, he says; "'T'hat a
majority of the senate was in its favor, I do know, and
that it would have passed if-iw had hail time.' 1 ''
Mr. Jo/mxto/i says, "At the last session, a memorial,
praying the removal of the discriminating duty, was
d to the committee of commerce, who mad-- a re-
poit declining legislation, because it was a proper subject
for negotiation. A bill for that purpose was, however, in-
ed, but was not acted upon for -u'dvt of time."
'^Vben the gentleman from Maryland applied to Un- pre-
sident ami s<-crt-t:ir\ of .'Uite. they both said it might be
. ; ; they made no objection; they did not dissunde
him: they both told him there was nolongerany difficulty in
I'iment of the affair with Great Britain^ that the ne-
gotiations v/ere al>out to he ri:newed: It was a inere ques-
tion, whether it wa-. be?t..-r to gi\e 1 4 ( m this in adv:uice, or

ibi'ion of hiHt .\Iay, relative totlie culture of silk,
will ii'. t I'e n.ade ;,t the present session ofcongreSS. The
sul'jeut commanded mv particular, and early attention,
after tli- the last session, and measures were
adopted for obtaining, not only from :dl parts of the uni-
on, but also from diiferent parts of Kuropc, such infor-
mation, in the f.-rmof publications or otherwise, MS mij^ht
constitute the proper materials of a report. From the
shortness of ; ;!iis information had
not even come in, except, in parl, at tl:

still be expected. Tin: ta ,k of having: ti;.- wh ,!, mass d.-

Thai ihe aci-ounts of tin commissioner of tlu^ p'Wlilic
)uibliiiLC:s, herewith presented, marked I>, exhibit a cor-
ect statement of the sums of mone\ appropriated by tlie
. ah and'J.'d M:..\, IS^IJ, for carrying on tin-work,
and defraying the < xpeuses, of erecting a peni*entiar\j
I'ei'tinj; a pol in Alexandria; repairing tin- gaol in \Vash-
ngton; contiiuiing the work at the capitol; ini])roving 1 1 it-
president's himare; tire engines and hose; together with
an unexpended balance of tbe appropriation of 1825:
unounting; aa all, to $173,993 67. Said account also e\-
iil)its a statement, of the sums of money expended in pur-
suance of said appropriation, amountii dollars
28 cents; and show s that, on the ;>lstdav of December lust,
in Unexpended balance remained in the injury oi"
$81,211 .) ( J,and $ft] 39 at the branch bank of the United
MS appeal's from letters C and D in all.
$173,99367.
The statement of the paper marked A, shows the sums
of money paid to architects; and_to superintendents of the
different branches of Work for their respective annual sala-
ries; the amount of wages paid to the different denomina-
tions of artizans, and other laborers; their pay per day r
ind the number of days' work performed by them, during
the last year; the sums paid for materials, and the quantity
ml price of the several kinds of materials, purchased. j
This paper also exhibits an account of the expenses and,
by wa> of recapitulation, states that the sams expended in
1 826, for superintendence and for labor, materials, incident-
al expenses in carrying on the work, in its different branch-
es, at the capitol, in pursuance of the aforesaid appro-
priations, amounting, in all, to 09,411 dolhu-s 16 cents.
The estimate of last year, by the architect, contemplat-
ed finishing the south section of the wood vaults: this has
not been done, as no steps could be taken towards pre-
paring materials until tlu: appropriation was made, which
was not done until the 22d of -M:ty, 1 82t>; so that a consi-
derable portion ot the season had passed by before this
work could be commenced.
The prices paid for the materials, used in the puhlii
buildings, as appears from the commissioner's letter,
n-arked K. in the hist v ear, cost about the average price
of several preceding years. Stone-cutters and carpen-
ter's wages were ncce.*>arilv raised, owing to the great, de-
mand for that branch of labor; the other branches remain-
ed stationary.
The committee believe that the artizans, and other per-
sons so employed, are industrious and faithful in the exe-
cution and discharge of the WOl'k assigned to them; and
that tin- oilier objects, as aforesaid, were kept, uithin the
limits of their respective appropriations, and that the pro-
gress of the several improvements, so :uuhori/ed lobe
done, during the last year, is in a great state of forward-
ness, and as much done as could have been reasonably ex-
pected.
The committee fiulher report, that they have given the
accounts, herewith presented, a careful examination, and.
from their own observation and information, otherwise re-
ceived; induce them to believe, that the aforesaid expendi-
tures were conformable to law, w-it.li :i proper intention to
economy and the public, interest; and that the work ap-
pears to be well executed, both in regard to style and it*s
i-haiM ter for durability and usefulness: and has the sa'.is-
facli'.n lo express their approbation, in the manner, ID

hhatthev never gave ih--".- consent.
it ma) here be proper to eniea\or to ascertain more
particularly, the relative strength of tlie two pan;
iar as existing data enable it to be done. By the docu-
ments forwarded from the council, held on the v>;>d Febru-
ary, it appears that the chiefs v.ho signed the treaty
were from the following five towns: Cow eta, Brok
row , New Yauco, band Fowii, liiu-hetee. lint it is to he
observed, that tlie chiefs from Hi- ken Arrow could have
had no authority to sign on behalf of that town, for the
representative o'f the ead chief of the town and one of
the principal chiefs of the nation, was present, and refus-
ed to sign. From a document prepared in council ot the
Creek nation, it appears, that 01 'the fifty -two individuals
w he signed the treaty of the Indian Springs, Mclntosh was
theonh head chief, he being the fifth in rank in the nation;
that live were chiefs of inferior degree, and these six all of
one town, Coweta; that twenty-six were officers called,
law menders, or law makers, but not chiefs; fourteen
were broken chiefs; four Indians possessing n
wliatever, and two persons wholly unknown to the coun-
cil of the Creek nation. These individuals were exclu-
sively fn.m e;ght towns, out of fifty-six, of which the na-
tion "is said to cons.st. The son of" the Hig \\arrior, and
of the Latle iYince were both at the Indian
Springs, and refuvd to sign. The nephew and represen-
if the chief fourth in rank, JLopoy llailgo, was
.1 to sign, \\illiam liarnard, the
]-,r:nciple chief of the I chees, refused to sign. John
Siidham, ;. principal chief of the lower towns, Ojiotldeyo-
holo, chief of the Tookaubatchees, wiih other leading
chiefs, forming itltnget her, it is conceived, a representa-
tion of a large majority of the nation, were present, and
refused to vigti. On tlie day after the death of Mclntosh
general \Vaiv represents it as the opionion of one of the
chiefs who signed the treaty, that the party opposed to
.ur thousand warriors, the p;u - ly friendly
not moi-e tl;.-'.M iiv hundred the former having been in-
hg cloalced under the garb of
.M,"'' who since the death, of Mclntosh, joined the.
.'ii-ty. The Indians of the treaty making parly,
rations in ( ieorgia, did not exceed about
four hum::-.! toen, v. omen, and children, although it ap-
.,1 some of the documents submitted, that efforts
,< nun.ber.
The intelligence of tlie proclamation of the governor of
n-l:iiive U)t!;e survev, reached the chief.-, of the
led to receive their annuity, and
t, in a letter to ii; of war, '27th
\pnl, l.SL'V), to add to their melancholy and digress. They
had ever \>

ticuhtny requested the agent to ;aake to the secreUiry of
war their decided objection to ihe. surveying of the lands,
until thev could remove from th.'-m. The^ also asked per-

the new treaty.
This new treaty received the sanction of the senate, by a
ven l:n-i;e majorily of the votes of that body, and the ;ip-
pTOpriabOns necessary to carrv it into effect passed nnani-
n.on-l\ in the house of repres( : ntatives, v ith the excejition
of nine dissenting voices, beinjj tliose of the Alabiuna dele-
gation, and the s^reaTi-r jtart of that of (jeorgia.
In the -whole cnnrse and protrress of this affair, in the
perseverance and assiduity of the executive in pursuing the
negotiations, and in the ample provisions made by &
to earn them into effect , the committee perceive strong
indications on the part of every branch ot the legislative
authority of the I nited States,' of a desire to redeem the
pledge of the compact of 1 80'2, to promote the interests,.
and vratitX the w ishes of (ieor-ia.
In pur'-uance of the provisions of the treaty, the Mestrrrt
line fixed hv it M as duly run. Hefori', however, it could
be ascertained whether, by this line, any part of the lands
w ithiji the chartered limits of (.eorgia vu're left out, itvas
necessarv that the boundary line between (ieorpia and Ai;*-
bama should also be established, (.'oiuinissioners on the
part of these two-states \\ / .-appointed. But, the circum-
stance that a direct line to Xickajack, from jhe first bend
ot the ('hati;-luMicl.ie, above I chee creek, would interr-i cf
that river, induced the commissioners to depart from the
h Her of the compact of 1 S0 1 J, and to pro] io.se some other
pe.int more accordant w ith its spirit, which It was supposed*
did not admii of carry ing lh< line east cfthe ( 'hattahouchie.
In endeavoring to settle- on some other point, thecommis-
(,'eorgi." and Alabama disagreed, and at the for-
mer ian :>i:c.r /.-r/V line, on the autlujrity, and at the ex-
i ( i. <>r_: ia alone.
