.1 CARD. The puVAc mar, pcrhnp, be somewhat surprised when it is announced, that J have been superseded! as Register of the Land O like at Cra w fords v i I lo c u ri os i t y w ill be on tiptoe to learn the cause. Jn ttcmptiug to assign a cause, some mav ipposc that i was disposed to make an apokrgy for neglect of (rfficial duty ; he this as it may, I will state (as much for the vindication of the Government as myself) that the cause of my removal - was, that I did not reside at the office. I long since informed the department rlrat I was not disposed to change rny habit?, (1 cing a Sinner) and place myself at a desk for any otTice whatever, and that when my manner of doing the utics became unsatisfactory, de cilice must be given to another. This they have done, in compliance With a regulation of the department, which requires officers of Land Offices to reside at their office?. This regulation I had deferred for a time to comply with, from the embarrassment occadoncd by the failure of the late Receiver. But supposing that unfortunate affair satisfactorily

arranged, I was about to -move 'rny family to the office for the balance of my official term; the removal comes in good time and saves me the trouble. It may be supposed by some that I Would feel greativ disobliged bv this act it the administration, and would therefore, become hostile to it. Those who make this estimate are much mistaken. In giving my suport to General Jack&on, I was not actuated by mercenary motives, but by principles, which, in themselves, arc unchangeable Gen. Jackson, with his well merited popularity was the instrument used by the Great Republican Farty to reduce to practice those principles, and as long as hi labors, as ho has done, in behalf of them, I must, as heretofore, yield him my support; and no circumstance relating to myself only, by which I was either benefitted or injured, could have anv itiSucncc in determining my judgment relative to those principles or the measures growing out of them. And there is one advantage at least deriveable I Vein my present position in relation to the present administration. Hitherto when iu office, I might be supposed to have an interest in supporting it; that cannot be the case now. lata not only independent in political influence, hut must appear so in the eyes of others. There, perhaps, never wa-s a more intcr"tercsting cTisisin the nirairs of our counCry, than that pending at the present moment. The momentous questions to be settled by the ensuing Congress, some of them involving, perhaps, the durability of the government; the conflicting interests of the East and the South, yet unsettled. Who, at sucli a crisis would desert his political standard, for considerations of a personal character ? Desert that venerable man, the labors of whose life has been for his country? and on the success of whose present efforts, the permanency and purity of our republican institutions in ine degree depend. Such as would do so, weuid not deserve the name of an American citizen. To my political brethren, I say, I am yet a republican, a Jaeksonian, as mi.ch as heretofore, and altho? dismissed from office, 1 trust that my love -of country is stronger than my love of office. The office in question I never solicited, the President bestowed it on me. 1 have held it fsur years, as long a term as any individual should Le permitted to ho d a lucrative office. I accepted it in ! - the first instance w ith reluctance, because it did not come to me in the way I approved, and if my rejection of it would have reinstated my predecessor, I should have done it. This, those who knew my sentiments relative to that matter, know to be true. 1 now return to mv plough with more satistaction than I left it; conscious ot having discharged my duty to the government and my fellow citizens, and shall certainly enjoy more contentment in Mai pursuit, than 1:1 the possession of oiliee dependent on thc will of anv one. SAMUKL MILIIOY. DelpVu Ind. From the Globe. THE CAPES OF THE CHEKOKEES AI) CHEEKS 1 DISTINOUISIIEU. Tlcre is such n proncness to mistinderrttaud or mirepiesent the questions, which trwe led to the present ditiiculties in Alabama, and to confound them with the Cherokee dispute, diat we shall for some davs continue to insert this brief abstract cf the matter, showing conclusively that the course of the Administration has been perfectly consistent, and strictly in accordance with the law. Tlj rb'ht to remove intruders from the Indian country, is an act of jurisdiction,

and isiiuaranteed bv virtue, of :he act of J the Miss Pedigrccss, and returned to town Congress of March iJOth , 10J, w hieh pro-' safe in a green w aggon, with my balloon vides for the employment ot a military tied up in a blue and white pocket handforce in the removal of those persons, ami kerchief.'1 Now, this is so much like the then adds, "that nothing iu this act shall log book of a ship at sea. "These L'l be construed, to prevent any trade or iu-. hours begin with calms; shook out reefs tercour?e with Indians, living on lands in the topsails, hands employed in hatsurrouuded by settlements of citiens of pooning porpoises.

jurisdiction Oj any of the individual stale.?.' The Cherokee country, last of the Mississippi, embraces portions of North Caro lina, Cieorgia, 1 cunessee, and Alabama. The 'Settlements of the citizens of the . States," surround all tliese Indians; th -v are not all wit bin the ordinary jtiiviittion of any of the individual state:'1 (ieoria and Alabama have extvtuki: fiteir lav.-, .vei them. North Cirolim anil Ji'e.quvtiVJ have nut. Con:-

qucnlly, the intercourse act, a3 it is called, being the act of March BOth 1802, does not now by its own limitation, extend over those portions of the Cherokee country in Georgia and Alabama. It is not the Executive, as has been charged, that nullities this act in these States. But it is an express provision of the act itself which terminates its own operation, w henever the two specified facts occur; that is, the surrounding of the Indians by white settlements, and the extension of ordinary jurisdiction over them. But in Alabama, the intruders upon the Creek country do not occupy Indian lands.

These lands were ceded o the U. States, in March, 1832, by the Creek Indians, and a right to certain reservations, granted to them, to be located as soon as the country could be surveyed. These locations are now7 going on, and we understand will be completed a3 soon as possible. The treaty provides, that intruders shall be removed from these lands 'in the same manner as intruders maybe remo ved from other public lands,' And the act of Congress, to which the treaty here refers, is entitled "An act relating to settlements on the lands of the Untied states? and was passed March 9, 1807. An act to prevent settlements being made prevent settlements being made on lands ceded to the United States, until nited states, until and was passed authorized by law' March 3d, 1809. It provides, "that if any person shall take possession or make a settlement on any land, ceded to the United States. &e. such person shall be liaUlc to fine and im prisonment, and "it shall moreover be lawful for the President of the United States to direct the Marshal, &.c. and to employ such military force, n3 he may judge necessary and proper to remove from lands, vvc. any person or persons,'' &x. Under this acl, agreeably to the requisitions ot the treaty, the removals arc now directed. And wo repeat what wc have before said, that the act of ISO'2, providing for removals is an exercise of jurisdiction, as the United States cannot claim the land iu the Indian territories. But the act of 1800 for the removal of intruders from the public lands, is only the exercise cf a special power, delegated to Congress by the Constitution "to make all needful rules and regulations concerning the territory and other property of the U. States. It is simply an act of ownership, and not of jurisdiction. The Cherokees in Alabama vet hold heir land. Therefore, this act of 1807, does not extend ip them, and this explains, in few words, why the government could not employ military force in the removal cf intruders from their lands in that State. If they should cede it as the Creeks have dune, then this act would apply. BALLOON. It is amusing to read Mr. count of his aerial vovarcs. Durant'S no lle is so pre cise, so particular in details, is so grateful for the tea and toast prepared for him on li is arrival on terra firma; he tosses olf his glass of old Madeira with such gout; he thanks the ladies with such a grace, and seems w itnai to no oiesscu witn such nni appetite after his chilly exposure aloft, that we read his despatches with as much satisfaction as a Diplomatic Correspondence on the West India trade.

Y. Star. Two tremendaous fires recently occurred at Constantinople, within a week of each other, the first of which destroyed 2,500 houses, and the second 250 liouses and C00 shops. A violent and destructive wind storm was experienced by p;rt of the citizens of Clark county on the night of the late storm in this county. We cannot vouch for the truth of the statement; yet wcare inclined to give it credit, as we ar well acquainted with our informant who resides in the vicinity of Cbarlestown. It is said to have commenced near Charlestown, and niade its wav ncarlv parallel with the Ohio river until it struck it a few miles above where the storm commenced. It there struck a flat boat and entirely sunk it, and then made its way into Kentucky, w here it is said it was also very destructive. On this side of the river, wc learn it passed through several farms, unroofed and blowed down several houses, stables, corn criltf, barns, orchards, &,c. &,c. and at one place a sugar-tree 18 inches over, is said to have been torn tfp by the roots and carried one mile and a half. Many of the farms were much injured by the fallen timber, and the destruction done to the fences was very great, most of which was entirely prostrated ; and to use our informants own words, "the fencing was carried from one farm to the other."

RIGHTS OF WOMEN. Mr. Cobbett presented and read a petition in the House of Commons, praying that women might nereatter be placed on a level with the men, in having the vote at j '-lections, and to sit on juries. After the reading whieh was attendtd with some laughter, a member observed that it might be an awkward circumstance, if six unmarried females and six nvalcs were on the samo jury, and, if they happened not to agree on their verdict, they might be locked up together nil night. Mr. Cobbett said, the House might perhaps think that of no consequence. He had known males and females to be locked up together, and even to sleep in the same room to gether, both in England and America, without awkwardness ensuing from it. I he petition a laid on the table j so that j the qualifications of females to sit on jurie, or be returned to 1 arliament, are iu a tair way of undergoing discusaion in that body.
