IT, Suites ami Ge0rgta--fwo days before lie close
Of Tie session, Mr. Benton, from tie select committee
Of the Senate, 10 whom The Presidents message on
The Georgia question was referred made long Rel
thereon, closing with the loIlowing Resolution:
"That the President Of the q. S. be rcspectfnv
requested 10 continue his cxer0n5 TO obtain relin-
gushmcu 10 any Cla,m to lands within Tie limits Of
Georgia"
This Report was adopted, II VIII be seen by Che
reader, that the object Of the President in appealing
TO Congrcss-io take from him the barsh necessity of
enforcing The Treaty Of Washington, by substituting
Congressional expedient has not been attained. lie
IS requested 10 ncgoatebut if negotiation fails. no
nltcrIoT measures are suggested to him. \ trap is
laid for him by the committee of the Senate
In tie other House, the last day Of the session
Nr Everett, from the select committee of the House
made detailed Report, concluding with these Re-
solulion5
81 That it is expcicnt TO procure a ce5sion Of
the Indian lands in the limits OF Georgia.
- That until cession is procured, Tire laws Of
Inc land set forth III lie treaty Of Washington (thc
last treaty. ought 10 be maintained BY ell necessary
constitutional ADD legal means"
This report was laid on tie table, and 900 CO.
pies ordered 10 be printed and Immediately thereafter
the House adjourned sine die.
II IS TO be regretted that no more time was allowed
Congress TO act on this important question. But SIC
trust that the effort to buy out the Indians will nrovc
successful and remove from the Executive the res.
possibility of enforcing the law, or Of SUFFERING il ,o
be violated.

considerations vOuiu decide nc TO decline the propo-
sal. They rest on the known and approved grounds
of tho sentiment and usage which have assigned the
pistol the appropriate weapon for the decision OF
controversies of this character which admits of an en-
tire equality in all respects"
The known dexteriiy OF Mr.. EcDuGie in the use
of the pistol, and General Alctcac's entire want OF il
having fired one a half dozen times in his
Ire, would, as am persuaded YOU will rendiv per
ceive make the contest between ,hem "ith such wea
pons, altogether unequal.
Had you not stated your objections in such terms as
10 exclude the use of all weapons except pistols.
General Metcale would, without admitting the rifle
10 DC an improper have proposed the broad sword
and thereby have manifested additional idence OF
his sincerity 10 afford the Interview which has been
quested.
In conclusion must say, that General Necalin,
being the party challenged, denies TO AIr. McDuie
the right TO insist on the use Of the pistol.
With great respect, l have The honor TO be, your

OF his alteration with Mr.. MCiluiip, have nothing 20 add

explanation of what mean, when say that pistol adj
miis of an entire equality in ali respects"
1t is briefly this: That am willing that my friend should
meet yours. c!.hcr with pistol, any distance,
from twenty pace, fire in any time, from
second to twenty minutes and in mode which, the
iemn obligations of honor, will engage that my friend
has never practised, thought OF practising.
You say, that "tle known IeXerity of Mr.. McDufie
in the of the pistol, and Gem Metcalfes entire want
of ii, having fl ed one hafa-dozen times his life
would, as persuaded you will readily PERCEIVE
the contest between thcn with such weapons, altogether
unequal"
The argument which you here urge in behalf of your
friend, applies with equal forcc mine, who's believe,
never fred rifle III his life
But the grounds have previously assumed, render all
discussion on this point SupcIvO and merely remains
for me to that any Skill which may have attrihu
ted to him live years ago, though that time absriy
may with equal justice, he supposed
lost from the fact of his having pracsed since
had pistol in his hand for And moreover deem it
important that know, that such been my
the utmost equality should reached in the expected COM
bat between Gen. Nccale, md MI Dute that the ps-
tolls with which he would fought, are yet in my posses
