without the possibility Of committing US
10 the necessity of hostile attitude?
Any assertion of our plainest rights may
by possibility, have that effect. The au-
thor of the amendment seems 10 suppose
that our pacific relations can never be
changed, but by oGr own option. He
seems not to be aware that other states
may compel US, in defence OF our own
rights, to measures, which, in their ul-
innate tendency, may commit our Deu
trality. Let me ask, if the ministers Of
other powers, al Panama, should signify
TO our agents that il was in coDtempla-
ton Immediately to take some measure
which these agents know to be hostile TO
our policy, adverse to our rights, and
such as we could mol submit to--should
they be left free TO speak the sentiments
OF their Government, 10 protest against
the measure, and TO declare that the u
ni;ed States would not see it car
RED into effect9 or should they, as
this amendment proposes, be enloined
silence, let the measure proceed, and al
forwards, when, perhaps, we go to war

our objections had been fairly and frank
ly stated, the step would not have been
taken? Look, sir, to the very case OF
Cuba-the most delicate, and vastly the
most important point in ell our foreign
relations. Do gentlemen think they ex-
hibit skill or craftsmanship, in laying
such restraints as they propose on our
ministers, in regard TO this subject, a.
mong others? 1t has been made matter
OF complaint, that the Executive has not
used, already, a more decisive tone to-
wards Mexico aud Colombia, in regard
to their designs on this Island. Pray,
sir, what tone could be taken, under
these Instructions Not one word
not one single word could be said on the
subject! II asked whether the United
States would consent 10 the occupation OF
that island by those republics, or to its
transfer by Spain TO European power;
or whether we should resist such occu-
patton or such transfer, what could they
say! THAT is matter we cannot dis
Suss, and cannot consider, it would COM
nit our neutral relations--we are not at
liberty to express the sentiments oil our
Government on the SUBJECT: We have no.
thing at all to say Is this, sir, what
gentlemen wish, or what they would re.
commend"
1t may be said--for. it has been said
on another occasion-that Mr.. Webster
is Federalist---and was one OF the
Hartford Convention. The latter charge
was disproved when made; the former
is true: We have no wish to blink the
matter; Mr.. Webster was a leading
member of the old Federal par,y--and
so was Mr.. M'Lane.

The Greek 7reaty.-The new Treaty

The Greek 77redty.-The new Treaty
OF cesslon and purchase, made in this
city with the deputies of the Creek ma
ton OF Indians, in January last, and sub
mitted to the Senate by the President on
the 3lst of that month, was ratified and
confirmed by the Senate on Friday last,
together with the supplemental article
subsequently agreed on, by which, il is
understood, the wishes of the state of
Georgia have been SO fully met, as to in.
duce the hope that all dissatisfaction felt
in thatstate at the abrogalion OF the for
mer treaty, will be dissipated. We
have reason TO believe that the efforts of
The Executive, and especially Of that Off
Ger OF it, Che Secretary of War,) to
whose province the management Of the af-
iair,particularly belonged, were never di.
ed with more zeal and assiduity to any
object, than to the satisfactory ADJUST
ment of the embarrassing difficulties
which grew out OF the former treaty.
These efforts produced the treaty OF Jan.
uary, by which about nine tenths OF the
territory in question, was obtained for
Georgia. To the further concession OBJ
tanned by the supplemental article, the
friends of peace and harmony-the
country at large--are indebted, it is said,
to the exertions and influence over the
Indian delegates, of air. Benton, of the
