tribes, which was approved by President
Washington only sixteen days before.
This discovery | have just made and
consider it as decisive evidence that the
treaty with the Greeks was measure OF
great elaboration, and that the eminent
men of that day laboured to make every
part of their political system harmonize
with every other part.
I If we leave both laws and treaties, and
look at the conduct of our Government
toward the Indians, we find the profess
sions of Indian agents to have been al
ways directed to this one point, viz: to
satisfy the Indians that the Government
would deal justly and faithfully by them,
would perform all its engagements, and
would secure TO them the permanent pos
session of their country. They were con-
stantly urged to become farmers, to edu-
cate their children, and form a regular
government for themselves; and ali this
Iavowedly with view. TO their permanent
residence. This was done by General
Washington, by Mr.. Jefferson, by Mr..
Madison, by Mr.. Monroe, as can be shown
from published documents, and probably
| by the elder Adams and his son.
To treaties, laws, usage, every publick
and every private pledge, are TO be added
the dictates of reason and common sense,
and principles of immutable justice. All
these stand on the side of the Chesokees.
Still Georgia demands all the land which
lies within what are called her charter ed
limits. The nature of this demand will
be examined hereafter.

vited to Augusta, and six distinguished
men We're appointed by Georgia to nego-
tate with them. A treaty was concluded
on the both of that month, establishing
the boundary Of Chatahoochy, which re.
manned the line of demarcation between
Georgia and the Cherokees till long after
the treaty-making power had been given
to the General Government.
This treaty was declared to be made
between the State of Georgia (then, as
averred by that instrument, IN the seventh
gear Of ats independence and :" the head
men, warriors, and chiefs of the hordes
or tribes Of Cherokee Indians, in behalf
Of the said nation"
! The two objects of the treaty were
peace and definite boundary, both OF
which were obtained on the undisputed
basis of the Cherokees being " nation, -
and having territorial rights. Why is not
Georgia bound by this treaty, made by
herself, in the plentitude Of her indepen-
dence, signed by her Governour, and by
the late Col. Few, who was one of her
delegates to form the federal constitution
and by four others of her most valuable
citizens :! There is no encroachment OF
the United States. The act is her own,
performed by her agents exclusively for
her benefit.
This treaty, being made on the same
principles as the preceding ones, is an
implicit attestation to the validity of them
all, and should secure to the Cherokees
the peaceable possession of their country,
till they voluntarily surrender il.

?. S. Permit me to correct small err
ror. In one of my early numbers it was
stated that the treaty of Hopewell was
made in York District, S. c. have
since learned that the Hopewell, on the
keowee, where the treaty was made, is in
PendletOn District.

The Nrwbern packet is intended as the
commencement Of regular line Of packets be-
tween Norfolk and N,wbern, through The Ca
nal; which will be pu' in operation as early as

da pting her to the peculiar navigation for
which she is designed. Her length OF keel is
