GEORGIA AND THE U. STATES.

The peculiar nature of the relations existing
between the governments of the Uni,ed States
and Georgia, afford a wide field for speculation
and, as in this matter, by the government, is
meant the President of the United States, it is
not necessary to say that many ofthose who are
opposed to the man, are determined 10 misrepre-
sent, or to misinterpret every thing he may say
OF do in relation TO it.-Thus, he remarked, in
his Message to Congress, that, if, in dcs-
pite of his peaceable rcmonstrances, Governor
Troup should continue to prosecute his surveys
beyond the line drawn by the Treaty, which, by
the ratification fthe constitutional authorities,
had become the law ofthe land, he would feel
himself bound, by his oath to enforce its execu-
ton. Was this wrong Certainly not; but
then, some individuals whose "aspcn sensibili-
ties can be excited as easily as can an infants
fears by the " raw heads and bloody bones of
the nursery, shudder because he threatens to
use -" all The disposable force at his command
for this purpose And hoW else, we would ask
these sapient reasoners, is he TO perform the du-
tics imposed upon himby his oath 2 This dread
full alternative is with Gov. Troup. Let him
obeV the laws, & no force will be necessary, and
none will he employed. Hhe hwart them. force
will be necessary, and must be used, at every
hazard. But why do not these DIRECTORS refer
to the language used by CIR. JACKSON, TO Gov.
Rabun, of this same state of Georgia 7 This
man, who has trampled alike upon constitutions
and instructions-who has violated alike the
respect due to the representatives and TO the Go.
vcrnors of independent States, in the month Of
wrote 10 Gov. Rabun, who chose to act, as
" Commander in Chief''oft that State, i%ndepen-
IDENTITY of a general of the regular army:
"That a Governor of a State should assume
" the right 10 make a war against an Indian
i" tribe, in perfect peace with, and under the
:" protection of the United States, is assuming a
E" responsibility that, | trust, you will he able to
e excuse 10 the government ofthc United States,
g." 10 which YOU will have to answer, and thro
" which | had so recently passed, promising the
" aged that remained at home my protection,
" and taking the warriors with me in the cam
:" paieu, is as unaccountable as strange. But
a. il is still more strange, that there could exist,
within the United States, Il cowardly monster
" in human shape, that could violate the sanct-
"ty ola flag, when borne by any person, but
" more particularly when in thc hands ola SUI
-" pcrannatcd indian chief, worn down with age.
3" Such base cowar'ice and murderous conduct,
"asthis transaction affords, has not its parallel
" in history. and shall meet with Its merited pun
- iShment.'

perfectly natural-and perfectly jus,ifiable-
as it has already been, we can only tell its justi-
fers tina, thcy are blind-that they have set Up

CULTURE OF BARLEY. The increased
demand for barley, for brewing, has so much
exceeded the cultivation, that the price has
become disproportioned to that of other
grain, according to the relative cost of nro.
ductlon, insomuch that it has become :.
profitable article of importation from En-.
rope. During the last season, the price in
our seaports has beer from 95 to lilo cents
per bushel, when corn was only from 60 to
90 cents. The soil of Worcester County
is peculiarly adapted to the culture of this
grain, and it is believed great advantages
would be derived from an extended pro-
auctlon oft. 1t does not exhaust the land
