attemjiteil to erect an independent government within the limits of Georgia and Alabama '1 uese Mates, claiming to be the otdy Snvereins within their territories, extended their lawsoxer tiie Indi iim which induced the latter to call upcn tiie Imited States for protection. Under tliese circumstances, t'ae question presented was, whether the (teneral Guver,m'nt had a ri:;ht to sustain those people in then pretention l'hc Constitution declare;, that "ir new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State," without the consent of its Legislature. If the General Government U not permitted to tolerate the erection of a confederate State within the tenitorv of one of the m.-miiers of this Union, against her con sent, much less could it allow a foreign and independent government to establish itself there. Georgia became a member of the Confederacy which eventuated in our federal union, as a sovereign State, always asserting her claim to certain limits; which having been originally defined in her colonial charter, and subsequently recognised in tiie treaty of peace, she has eer since continued to enjoy, except as they have been circumscribed by her own voluntary transfer of a pertionof her territory to the United States, in the articles of cession of IH02. Alabama was admitted into the Union on the same footing with the original States, with boundaries which were prescribed by Congress. There is no constitutional, conventional, or legal provision, which allows them less power over the Indians within

year. Constituting, as it does, the best stand

ini; security of this country against loreign aggression, it claims the especial attention of Government In this spirit, the measures which, since the termination of the last war, have been in operation for its gradual enlargement, were adopted: and it should con-

the l'enobscot tribe to erect an Independent Government within their State? and unless they did, would it not be the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting such a meaiuv? Would the people ef New -York permit each remnant of the Six Nations within her borders, to declare itself an independent people, antler the protection of the United States?
