treaty, will he in September next. Though THIS in
tclgencc carries authentic show, still hope that
it may prove unofficial, least tina, The Governor OF
Georgia will thick better oft before the time for action
arrives
Fe supposition that the former treaty. though IL was
executed, had vested in Georgia the rights which
1t conveyed and that il beyond the power of the
contracting parties by subsequent notifications, 10 d.
vest them, seems likely TO prove the fruitful parent OF
and strife this occasion. The Geo gia Leg
ture in directing Gov Troup TO the treaty OF
the Indian Springs, seemed have been influenced BY
IT. and it has since been adopted by others, whose read
ness to fall into error however cxci,es less surprize-
But that right properly and legally be called vest
ed right, which has never been enjoyed, and which
has not only been enjoyed, but which the party
claiming il has never been in situation to enjoy? Il
the negative of this be the doctrine and if the ac
be, that Georgia has enjoyed the rights cecd &c
her BY the treaty of the Indian Springs and further ha.
never been ready 10 enjoy them, by of the non
execution of the treaty ITSELF ii follows that she cannot
claim this ground, the fuGlment of the old treaty
That treaty has been annucd by the acts of the par
ties TO it. treaty has been formed by the Same
partesand this treaty the Constitution declares 10 be
1.-The supreme law of the land " The fact adds NOTHING
10 its "aidiy but it sanctioned By large rnaortie
of Congress.
The question then for Gov. Troup 10 consider is vii
lie by attempting 10 enforce the directions of the Leg
isature of Georgia, violate the supreme law ote land
AS citizen of the United States is he not bound 10 res
pect first IFS paramount law, when in conflict with STATE
provision, As those directions were given when thu
last treaty was not yet made-w he not, rather thai
take step of such high responsibility, and which MAJ
lead TO momentous consequences, convene the Legsa
ture of Georgia. and ask of their wisdom new nstruc
tions?
few 81 our brethren, particularly one not mor
than % miles nf) seem TO take malicious satisfaction
IN contemplating the troubles which this state OF thing
forbodes. lie speaks with infinite glee of adams
pcrpleXity-and provided the President is harassed
seems most Phosopcaly Indifferent to the peace ant
concord of the Union. We could find it in our heart
10 be provoked at the levity of the Editor of the Rcpub
can and the delight he takes in exercising his iuGu
10 increase instead of diminish difficulties if W,
did not know that at bottom he is friend to BIZ
country. It'll much TO be regretted, that one known (,
he aniable and PATRIOTIC should place himself in ar
attitude cquivocal, that we otherwise vindi
cate his heart than by laying the blame on his head

the election against Mr. Macon, and in favor of Gen
