From the J^cw-York Reriew and Aiheuteutii Magdsme. [ concluded .] These Indians, too, will contribute to our hon or in afterages. They have already succeeded in the work of civilization, beyond the sanguine hopes of their most ardent friends. They have relinquished hunting, and become farmers anJ herdsmen. The forest begins to disappear trom around them, and vast fields, rich with grain, smiling orchards, and meadows covered with flocks and herds, are found in the midst of the wilderness, as monuments of the philan thropic and humane policy of the national gov ernment, and of the ability of the aboriginals to preserve their name, and to take their station among the civilized nations of the earttr. Nei ther is it upon the soil alone ihat the hand of civilization is seen. T h e ir manners are soften ed, their minds improved, by education. The useful arts are introduced‘amouK them: The shuttle and the loom, the hammer and anvil, arc heard in their huts, and school houses and churches seen in their villages. Tlie blood stained hatchet is buried, it is to be hoped, for ever ; and Christiauiiy and civilization, aided by the enlightened policy of our government, are gradually raising these tribes from a state of ignorance and barbarity. With*this happy prospect on one side, and impending ruin and extirpation op the other, these helpless children of the forest appeal to the reproscntatives of the American people, and call upon them to rescue them from degradation, esvile, and death. They have a right to a kind and attentive au dience. They arc men like ourselves—more ignorant, less civilized and powerful, hut still men. To their present state they haVe been reduced or advanced, according to the decision of this question, by the arrival of the Europeans. The few comforts, hopes, and pleasures they have, they liighly value. Their apparent insen sibility is the result of education, and not of apathy. It does not prove .the absence of passibn, hut the power of self-control. It is the frozen surface of a volcano, under which the fire bums more fiercely because surpressed. With thei^batural passions unsubdued, they love and hate more strongly than the whites. Above all other things, they are attached to their native soil. To that they ding- wdth aU that tenacity, so peculiar to the Indian chamc- ter. Their love^tf life sinks into insignificance, when compared with the overpowering influ ence of this principle; and with their ancient recollections, and present feelings, thronging upon their minds, jdinost with one voice they cry: “ Lut'us peaceably possess otir country, o r ^ v e us death. How can w’e say to the bones of our fathers, rise and gp with us into a-foreign land T* ' ' Let congress answer this strong spd irresisti4 hie appeal, as the* nation would answer it, by*' lUiDuliing the treaty, and putting the Creeks in the same situation they held belwe it was nfadb^ No Other course'm compatible with iair dealing, or national honor. Instead of driving them from their lands,'let the government' continue its efforts to* civilize and attach them to the soil, and they will love and cherish the white men as their benefactors;* Tlieir posterity will rise up and call us blessed; and a community of civilized aboriginals wxU existin the i bosom of this country, as the proudest evidence of the beneficence of this government, of an unstained nalionaX character, and of the power of civ ilization. Before we close this article, it’is,, perhaps, necessary to examine two topics, which are in cidentally connected with this subject. The treaty has been forimilly jcatiffed on our part; and it may be objected, by thoie who aVe deter-, mined Ob its exeCuriOri, that it cannot be rescind ed without the consent of those Cfoehs wffio signed it, and tl^t the sole tribufial to judge Of its validity, is the sOfiate. Those who raised, this latter objection, do hot advert to the faetj that the treaties with tbe Indians, though for mally sanctioned' by the senate; ‘ate rather i0f» ternal regulations, than treaties, propbriy so called, which are between fmWers entirely in dependent. It is the right of the house, if It should deem it necessary, to extend its guardi an shield for the protection of the Indians with^ in our lirnitS, ftom all hardship and injustice.----^ The representatives of <the people are as toupli * mtereUedin the preservation of .oar uatipuat character, ns the representatives of the slates; and if they should find, as they will in this case; that the treaty ought to be resemded/thej inay refuse to carry it into effect. The cession of a-krge tfact of puMic lands, and the stipulation to pay a sum of money, give a pectrfiaf strength to the co-equal right of the house ter examine the subject. This objection, however, is put at rest, to gether with that founded upon the rightsvest- ed in the Greeks, who made the treaty, by the ftaud at the bottom of the transaction. If the instrument be tainted With fraud, it is void, and either branch of congress may declare it so.-— If there should be any difference of Opiuioin on the siibject between the two houses, it willthed remain with the executive to say*, Whether, un-; der existing circiuastaaces, he will carry the treaty intd effect. Each a pow er must necessarily exist, or the United Slates would be subject to Impositien, the republic liable to disgrace, and the Indians would be defrauded and exterminated, without the right of inte^erence on the part of the gov-;- ornment to prevent any of these catastrophes. Precedents for, a similar exercise of power*, may , be found in the short history of our present government. Under the administration of Mr. Munroe, u treaty of this sort, concluded wfth a portion of the Menominees, for the purchase of a large -portion of their land, was declared void by the president on this very ground, Nearly all the real acknowledged chiefs of the tribe Were op posed to the cession. Quarrels belvtre’en those who signed, and those who opposed the treaty, immediately followed the sale • and, as in the ' case* of McIntosh, one ofthoses%riingthe treaty, was put to death by the other party. This treaty, however, was not carried info effect. The Indians were not declared in 'a state of hostility with the United States, and tranquility was restored to the tribe, to the honor of our government, by annulling the a- greemeht. We also feel compelled to make some marks upon another topic, not necessarily con nected with the controversy between Georgia and the Greeks, although Gov. Troup has enJ deavoured to join them together, or at least to create a belief, of their necessary connexion. Wc allude to those parts*of his messages, ac cusing the general government of an intention ' to emancipate the slaves in the southern states,* and to strip the inhabitants bf their property without compensation. R is unnecessary to refute this idle accusa tion.' It could not have been seriously made by any man in the exercise of his sober faculties, * and we do not think so me?nlybf Gov, Troup’s capacity, as to suppose, that he himself believ ed the administration to have adopted a policy on that subject, equally at variance with pru dence and the constitution. He had no evi dence upon which he could ground a charge so grave and imjfortant, if true. When, however, we reflect upon the extreme anxiety ei'inced by him to obtain these lands, and the unjustifiable means adopted for that purpose; is it unfair to conclude, that he ap-. pealed to the prejudices of the inhahitants of the southern states, in order to induce them io make common cause with Georgiamaay ques tion, which might arise as to the validity of this treaty 1' He knevt how sensitive they Vvefe to iu^ interference with that species of property by the national government, and that with ex cited fears and inflamed passions, they might be induced to assent to conclusions, which, intheif' moradeliberate moments, they would condemn; and we fear that this topic was introduced to- gain supporters to this system of oppression against the fed men, from Ml, Who' might deem one code of morals, applicable to questions be tween the whites, and another to those beHveea men of different coinplexions. It is Impossible that this appeal shomd pri^duce sui^'an effect. On the subject of slavery^, it is true, our view&' are different from those of our southern bretli- ren. We haYe declatecl the emancipation of freedom of the negro, so far as our state iaw^ could reach. They have acBiered to' an oppo site system: They have no desire to forcft their system upon usi We do not. imagineT that the nafioul goyerhment is authorized tb* interfere With that subject ift the m w a i except in case of actual or iippendingrehelliou. Other t^iniions are indeed imputed to the citL zeus ofthis quarter,'whenever it l/uieces^ary to rally fee southern states under poKticSt , baimeff; but the mas^ «|' the pbO|de Of the nm-th» wMIe they com ton sUveryi«nd ardently dOsir% its extinction,^ Still feel the difficulty under^ which those atatesi possessii% fhal species b# properlty,Iabor jiahd it woUMnehbet^ be prudent, nor philanthropic, to apply a sudd^*. remedy to an* evil requiring yea«i be .1- i
