Nothing could induce us to make our paper Ihe vehicle of party politics, so as lo interfere w ill, our oi ii;mai plvm. Our readrrs, hovecr. will pardon us for an occasional violation of cur rules, when i circumstances require a c ncci.iration of fjr.s' f . ,,, The following are the resolutions adoptcc! at the meeting referred to : preamble. Whereas, the conduct of the general administiation in relation to the several lribes of Indians, yet remaining within ,l,e territorial limits of some ot the state?, which compose this happily coniccterateti government, nao cecume a matter of serious dispute, involving con sequences which every patriotic American, whether native or adopted, should labor to avert ; and whereas we conceive this hostility to a constitutional law ol congress has oiiginated in vindictive party feeling, and disappointed ambition, and that it will be productive of much evil if not arrested by the protest ot the republican party, wc deem it animperi ous duty to express our unequivocal disapprobation of the hypocritical sympathy, and feigned humanity, manifested by the ami republican leaders of the poor Indian excitement. And wheieas, in the opinion of this meeting, the Cherokee Indians aie citizens of Georgia, or they are not ; if they are, they are bound to submit to the ope ration ol the laws of the state, with which the supreme court of the United States cannot interfere ; end if they are not ci tizen3 of Georgia, a their pretended fiicnds assert, the eleventh prticle ot the amendments of the constitution declares, u I hat the judicial power of the United Siates shall not be construed to any suit in law or equity, cotnmsnccd, or prosecu ted against uny one ol the United States, by citizens of another state " Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the excitement which prevails in relation to the removal of the Indians, has not arisen from an impartial and dis passionate investigation of the justice or expediency of the measure, but from party prejudices, and party hostility to the venerable chief magistrate of the Unitcd States, by whom the measure has! barn recommended. licsoived.

Resolved, Tlmt as we believe, not only j the happiness, but also the perpefuiiv of j the Indian tribes, depend on their remo-! val to scenes more congenial to t'nir habits of life, we deem those who wish to detain them w here they are, es enemies to i i ... .. ineir uappniess, auu iuu peipciuity ui : their race iicsoivcd, i nai me lezai i irisuicuon i of every State i:i the Union, i?, and should , be, co extensive wish her territorial limits, and that it is the duty of every citizen to! respect and obey the constitutional iawsj of the state in which he resides; inasmuch ar we believe that two independent and rival governments cannot simuUaneously exist within the same territory. Resolved, That the patriotic and humane measures, recommended by the present distinguished chief magistrate of the United States, and the judicious concurrence of congress with those measures, deserve and receive the unfeigned and unconditional approbation of this meeting. Resolved, That we view the efiorts now making bv the leaders of the Indian excitement, as the last subterfuge of a desperate faction, whose only hope of success rests on their skill in artifice and deception ; and w ho, to gratify their unhallowed ambition, in addition to the impre cations of their aspiring leaner, ("war, pestilence, and tamme, ) all the horrors oi Indian insurrection. Resolved, That wc consider the case between Georgia and the Indians, as a matter to be settled by themselves, and refer to the article from the amendments of the constitution of the United States, (quoted in the preamble,) as a confirmation of this fact. Rjsolvcd, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed bv tiie chairman and secretary, and published in all the papers; in this district, friendly to the true inter ests and hapninessuf the Indians.

HANK OF 1 HE U. STATES. We bespeak the attention ot tbe public to the speech of Mr. llenton on introducing his joint Resolution declaiing fiat the charter of the Bank of the United States ought net to be renewed." Wc shall commence its publication in our next paper. It displays the extraordinary research and ability which distinguishes all Mr. Benton's congressional efforts, and will furnish, in lucid or der, all the materials necessary to enable the public to decide upon the great question in relation to the Bank ot the United States, which has been with much propriety brought up for conside ration at this early day by the President's Messao-e. The fate of the institution may be con sidcred as scaled by the vote in the Senate of Wednesday last. The whole number of Senators is 43, of whom 43 were present. Of these present, twenty voted in favor of bringing in the joint lesolution, declaring it to be the sense of Congress that t fie charier ought not to be renewed. Of the live absent, it is piCNumed that three, Messrs. Rowan, Kane, and Eilis, would have voted for the resolution, and two ether absentees against it Of those voting against it, two, viz: Messrs. Barton, aud Marks of Pennsylvania, are superseded by the late elections, and their places supplied by Jackson republicans. The members elect opposed to the Bank, added to those who were absent when the vote was la ken, would make twenty five a majority ot two against the Bank. The progress! t puuac opinion is already seen m this vote. At the last session the B?nk seemed to triumph in both branches ot Congress. The reports introduced to favor it stood without question all op- . ' 1 t 1 i wavi position was looueu ucwn. What are . . m . ... me prospects now: Ihe majority in! the henate, as well as president Jackson, must be vanquished by the Corporation before it can hope for success. To ef feet this suffrages of State Legislatures and ot the people must be tist 'obtained, But neither can be bought.

LORD BYRON A PROPHET. In a j utnal kept by Lord Byron, in January 132 I, arc the following remarkable sentences: "The ficiven mean to ar with the fiecfilei.
