Georgia and the Indians. The committee in the Georgia Legislature, to whom i as referred the part of the Governor’s Message relays to the Cherokee Indians, made the following relort:— “The propriety of effecting an entire abilition of the exercise of governmental >ow.er* by the Cherokee Indians, jour ommittee consider as settled—The State iy an act of her Legislature has extended ler laws both civil and criminal over the erritory and persons of said nation fndis:rnninately, and thereby virtually abolish* cd all government over such territory, ave her own—r And any further legislaion, having lor itsobjecUhe prevention of Lne exercise of sovereign power by the Indians, would have been annexed to the enorceoient of Indian laws or regulations, who claim the right of managing the affairs of the Indians, having availed themselves of such omission on the part of the Legislature, and continued to assemble m council from time to time, for the purpose of making new laws and enforcing them and others already adopted, on said rate, have rendered it necessary, in the opinion of your committee, to enact such laws as will prevent in future the exercise t such assumed powers. The government of Georgia, or the Cherokee Nation, tilone has the undoubted right of iurisdicion over the territory and persons of said nation, within the chartered limits of Georgia. Both can Dot possess it—and if such a c °*qoal right could exist the exercise of uch right by both powers, would be cru-, y in the .extreme to the Indians. What would be required by the one authority, might be rendered highly penal by the othf n * * ie same act beiug declared crimina by both, would inflict some punishments jwice for the same offence—A state of mgs not to be desired by any civilized community. Such, however, is now the ilualion of the Cherokee Indians; they ! ve ex Posed to the penalties and requisions of two codes emanating from sources iffereat ia their origin, different in their different in their exactions, n determining which power should yield n tins contest for jurisdiction, your comi tee have had no difficulty; nor can .

or to hold Courts of their own, or to assemble together in any capacity whatever. The best commentary we can offer on this subject, is tire following extract of a letter from Thomas Jefferson to Gen. Knox, Secretary at War, Jefferson's Memoirs , not 3. p 120. “The Indians have a right to the occupation of their Lands, independent of the States within whose chartered lines they may happen to be; that until they cede them by treaty, or other transaction equivalent to a treaty, no act of a State can give a right to such lands; that neither under the present Constitution, nor the ancient Confederation, had any State or person a right to treat with the Indians, without the consent of the General Government; that the Government is determined to extend all its energy for the patronage and protection of the Rights of the Indians; and that if any settlements are made on lands not ceded by them, without the previous consent of the United States, the government will think itself bound, not only to declare to the Indians that such settlements are without the authority or protection of the United States, but to remove them also by the public force.”

(ttrGm. Robkht llanna, late Register | at Indianapolis, and at present a candidate to J represent the 2d District in this State in t Congress, has recently, for some reason best i known to published and republished, in different papers in the State, a train of ( low and personal abuse against me. I would not degrade myself nor bring a stigma upon the character and sensibility of out readers, , by imitating his vulgarity, were it even in r my power, for all the “filthy lucre” that Gen. lianna has ever pocketed from die public coffers. No—-I hope ever to observe the more honorableadmonitions of my early instructors, by whom I was taught that the taste, habits, character and language of the vulgar, belong exclusively to themselves. The low and underltanded course pursued by Gen. Hanna, against mo, would be a

justification for a full expose of his political bargdinj.ng,turning, and twisting ; but he resides in another district—is a demagogue whose political character is so cordially despised by all honorable men—and has been sq shamefully beaten by the people of r his own county, where he is best known, that I would disdain to give him the importance of a serious notice. He had his reasons for abusing me—they were these. When driven from the office of Register, (for a reason I will not now name,) the General’s insatiable itching for office led him to think that though destitute of intelligence, of ordinary intellect, and of a character for political honesty, he could, by low and disreputable cunning, obtain a seat in Congress. Hence, from a warm and meddling Adams

man, he endeavored to push himself into the strongest party, and to pass himself for a, real Jacksonian, “died in the wool.” Thinking that some signal abuse of those who are known to be the unwavering friends of Henry Clay, and with whom lie so recently professed to be warmly united, would secure him a ready admission into the ranks of the party he had been abusing, he pushed off to Lawrenceburgh a dose of staff, prepared after his peculiar taste, in which “GEN. HANNA” is puffed without mercy, and the editor of the Western Times vilified to the very dregs of his new born wrath. v * He thought, that by abusing those with whom he recently acted, and boasting of it to the Jackson party, he could obtain their consent to receive him. But it would not do. The Jackson men were not to be duped —they preferred honorable opponents, to sneaking, hypocritical weathercocks; and the editor of the Palladium, doubtless di, gusted by the nauseating repetition of “the republican GEN. HANNA,” exposed the author. All this I suffered, rather than enter into a controversy with a man so destitute of principle and decency. But he did not stop here. The Gen. has repeated and republished his abuse upon me, in die leading paper at'lndianapolis, until I find it necessary to apprize him of my unwillingness to submit to it any longer. Gen. Noah Noble was also assailed bn Hanna, and has made a spirited reply, from which the following extract is taken. I disclaim any participation in the war between the two Genera's. am personally acquainted with both, hut never held a conversation wilh either ot them, in which the name of the other was mentioned. This much i9 due from me, on accouMbf a charge to the contrary by ono of them. I give this extract to show how modest it is in GEN. Hanna,widiina few months after he lias been “choked ojf” of one office, and declared by the people of his county unfit and unworthy to represent them in the Legislature, and while his pockets are filled with the proceeds of office, to bo vociferating ‘rotation, rotation,’ out of one side of his mouth, and ‘give, give,’ out of the other side. This is the self-styled “republican GENERAL Hanna.”—S. “Let us now see how his noisy doclaratiena will, accord with his examplos. A--hrtirf ninr.lr.rr q bovl~f settled in Indiana." At that time Goncihl

Hanna was the Sh riff, Collector, aaJTthink Treasurer of Franklin county; and continued in the office of Sheriff until wo went into a state goverment in 1818, at which time he was elected Sheriff and served until August, 1820, when he obtained the appointment of Register of the JjUnd Office, and in that station continued up to the Ist, of September of. the last year. The first ten years of the Sheriffalty of jfranfclin county, was the most lucrative period; alii the office was worth from five hundred to die thousand dollars per year. For General Hanna’s services while acting as Register, including a few hundred dollars obtained as clerk hire for his nephew, I have in my possession his receipts tor between sixteen and seventeon thousand dollars.—These an* some ofthe General’s fruits of the doctrine ho preaches and calls “his.”] These are the examples he sets; and wba is it among us that could not learn to “live without office,” after growing rich on them and pocketing from twenty-two to twenty-five thousaud dollars out of the public crib? Who could not talk of his willingness “to go to-work at forty,” either with or without Dutch or Irish boys, after gettting fat on the public bounty for twenty years? Tlis is the 1 way that the General has enforced his doc-j trine when his pecuniary interest is concern-! ed, and as regards his support of others, tha 1 evidence he has given of his love of the 1 principles and sentiments proclained, is quite as convincing. It is well known that of all the sons of Indiana, Governor Jennings, Senator Hendricks, and Jiti&s Noble, have been the most indulged with office,

u and in no instance for fifteen or twenty years, t has lianna been out of their support; still he ' prates about “his doctrine of rotation in e office,” at a time when he wishes toapply it B to others, and when its benefits wil j accrue V to hum So long as he is supplied with office, 3 he is mute; but divest him of place, and he 3 fur “ rotating ” any man out who may stand in his way. From what General " Hanna has said about “rotation in office,” a • superficial observer might suppose twenty i years service to be the period at which a l man’s claims to the public bounty ceased^ . but * n this he would be mistaken ;for within > a short time after he was deprived of his 5 place he and his relations spoke ofthe office • ofGovenor, next he announced himself for i the Legislature, and is now out for Congress. l , To sum up tho General’s true sentiments [ on the subject, if we take his examples as , an index to them, by “rotation in office” he ! means, never resign one, but hang on as ■ long as you can, and if rendered ineliigible . by the operation of law or choked off by the reform,of the day, then get a better one. Cry give, give.—But be sure and approve of the doctrine of rotation in office, that you may get some other man’s place. If no body else will do it for you, write yourself into [ notice, and make arrangements with.your relations and tools for its publication.—This is a true outline ofthe General’s course.” “Os General Hanna’s oscillations and unfairness, in politics, abundant proof ean be adduced. In open, honorable combat, he never engages.”

New York Courier and Enquirer is remarkable for its enormous dimensions. Duff Green calls it “the great blanket,” Its editor, notwithstanding his treachery as a politician, is a talented and highly humorous writer. No man is more noted for hi;? cutting jests; but we think the following, from the New York Sentinel, a rival print, is equal to Noah’s best efforts at wit. The editor of the Jourier threw out a slur at the Sentinel, because its dimensions had been contracted, to Which the editor of the latter replied “We have yet heard but one serious objection to the change in our dimensions.— This was made by a shop keeper, who said that the Courier and Enquirer made more wrapping paper.'' Huff Green..... Martin Van Buren. We were, not a litte surprised to meet with the language contained in the following extracts from the United States’Telegraph. That a deep roofed and immovable coolness and jealousy has long existed between two rival parties, now at the head of our national government, is generally known or believed. Duff Green, editor of the Telegraph, assumes to himself the exclusive honor of having elevated General Jackson to the Presidency, and therefore claims, as a quid pro quo , the unquestionable right to all the public printing. He belongs to, and considers himself the oracle of, the Calhoun party. Martin Van Buren, Secretary of State, is the rallying point of the other party. Inconsequence ofrecent indica l lions on the part of Mr. Vaii Buren, and his friends, the editor of the Telegraph began to tremble for his safety as public printer; and in a fit ofdesperation or madness, developed the whole secret of the family difficulties that exist among the heads of “foe republican party.” He thus addresses himself to Secretary Van Buren ; “it is more the intrest of the Secretary of State, than of any other aspirant to the Presidency to avoid a collision with the Telegraph. That paper and its Editor were identified with the support of Gen. Jackson,and, of the principles which brought him into office, before Mr. Van Buren had taken any stand in opposition to the late administration." Fearing, however, that this language might possibly be misunderstood, he follows it up by a few still broader hints to the Secretary, on the subjects of duty and interest, thus;— “Mr. Van Buren has approved its course, and any opposition on his part would be attributed to a selfish determination <o put All. General Jacksdh's. oid friends, who refuse to arrange tliemselv'es as partisans of Mr. Van Buren, under the ban. It would be to commence a warfare now which might disgust many of GeiwJackaon,s friends, and by endangering Gqp.Jackson’s re-electfon, defi Burerrs further intvanecimiut.”' 1 “Much a measure (continues life organ)

on the part of Mr. Van Buren and his friends could not fail to produce a warfare , which IT IS HIS INTEREST TO AVOID.” _ •* * “Who (says tho organ) that desires the re-elcctiou of General Jackson, i could put it at hazard by separatingfrom \is friends on a question which will partake, as much as almost any other, of apdrty character.” The wholesome reproof which has been administered to the editor of the Washingten Telegraph, for his implied promise that some individual of the 22d Congress should ainusethe public with impertinent questions to Mr. Adams, bus not been without effect; and we find the editor now attempting to smooth-over the matter. The people made no mistake in their estimate of the paragraph; they understood its import and intent, and treated it accordingly.—lt is a proof of the high mindedness of the Jhckson party, that none of its respectable editors , have copied the disgraceful threat of the Telegraph—at least, we have noticed it in no other Jackson paper than in the official organ, and we can testify, that a large number of the administration party iu this city, expressed disgust at the indecent paragraph.-— U. S. Gat.

Mr. Randolph said to Juba at their parting, “My remains will be sent to Virginia, inspirits. Bury them under the old oak, on my plantation. Turn my head to the east, 1 wish to look westward.”-r-This was related by Juba to our informant, and it is too characteristic not to fie true. Sickened of the old world, he wished even in death, to turn his back upon it, and to set his face toward the rising empire of the west Boston Palladium. ————a——■iofii——area NEW ORLEANS MARKET, Nov. 6. GENERAL REMARKS.—Our market is still dull, and has varied but little since our last. Some of the citizens who left here for the North, have returned, with a few of the annual visitorsand strangers. We hear but little of sickness, and could we be favored with one or two heavy frosts, we could feel warranted in inviting all to visit the city whose business 6r amusement requires it of them. COTTON.—The operations of the week have been more extensive than the last, including some England. We do notseeany improvement in price, and are led to believe that the rates of two weeks ago have toot been sustained. SUGAR.—We are still unable to quote its value by the quantity on the plantation, as also molasses. Wc have heard ofseveral small sales ofthe former for retailing, one of which was at 64 cents. Dealers generally, dislike venturing an opinion hs to what the market will open, or rule at; a few weeks will determine, when we will give quotations. TOBACCO. —The sales of the week have been full 800 hlids. at an average of 2 1-4, 3 1-4 and 4 1-4 for crossed, seconds I and firsts. Holders appear firm and rather nuticipate an improvement before a decline. FLOUR is becoming more plenty, and has declined in value since our last. We found it yesterday a dull article at seven dollars per bbl. both for exportation andcity consumption. LARD.—This week’s arrivals hare reduced tho price very materially, and the late accounts from Havana are also unfavorable. Wc quote it at 10 cts. per lb. uncertain, and found the lowest asking prico 124 cts. by the quantity. Should much arrive pext week, it ib doubtful whether that prico can be obtained. PORK &.

COLLNIS Sf Co's AXES.' THE very superior axes manufactured of best double refined Clast Steel by CtdHns # CO, Hartford, Connecticut warranted genuine, are for sale by Hart hr Neel, at the new Brick Smith’s shop, neaff the West end of Main Street, Centreville, Indiana. -la These axes are known and used in eve* ry section of the country, and their excellence of shape and temper is universally acknowledged. They are decidedly superior to any other axes ever made or sold in the United States. All wood-choppers who want a first rate tool, are invited to examine and judge for themselves. Caution. -

' The public are cautioned against nuH* ’ onerous imitations of these axes, which * have appeared in various parts of thecOnn- ’ try. in appearand they are made to resemble as nearly as possible the genuine article, but are really inferior in quality to the genuine axes made by Collins hr Cos. To assist the sale of the imitation axes a . variety of expedients have been resorted to. Sometimes it has been falsely asserted (hat they ware made by persons who have been in the employment of Collins Sr Cos. and/ike sellers of them have fre-' quently atteiqjpted to palm them off on tho unwary as being the genuine axes. Tho imitation axes are sometimes sold for less than the price of the genuine, but it is generally admitted among wood-choppers tbai.the REST axes are the CHEAPEST, and that where a difference exists in quality it is of more importance than any difference which will be made in the price.
