some OF them, may now be early anticipated In
the mean time, the sessions of the Convention Itself
are brief, and its proceedings embarrassing
On yesterday, the Legislative Committee adopted
resolution declaring that the meuibcrs Of The House
OF Delegates, ought to be reduced-.o what point,
was not determined, but opinion seemed to 1.;uate
between 96 and $780,
1t also seemed TO be the determination of the Com
mttce to preserve tho Senate both as to num-
bcrs, powers, and the feature Of Classification. Va
iious important principles have been submitted by
resolution to the consideration of all the Committee
but until passed upon, do not feel al liberty Il
advert to them.

Prescription AT last the conscience. Of the
Greatest and Best" seems TO have been invaded by
some compunctous visitings 1t appears by the an
noxed article from the Nat Integencer of the 18th,
that the heart of the President has actually reentel
in behalf Of one of the victims Of "Rcform'-NVm

whom he has ordered to be placed i'll a situation,
equivalent to the one from which he had been cause
lcssly, wantonly, removed by Comptroller Hill, 10

honour to the President, and we proud to com
nemorate thing if more, that reflects credit
upon the Chief Magistrate Of our country. Would
that Gen. Jackson would shake off the degrading
influence of the desperate crow of KcndaTs, Hills
and Greens, and consult his good sense, and the
spirit of our Republican institutions more. We will
for it, that he slept ounder after this act Of
justice and humanity, than be had done for month.
From the National BateiEgencer, October 10.
We under and that n small difference Of opinion,
TO the exercise of the power of removal appoint
ment in the clerkshlps of the Offices subordinate to
the different Heads Of Departments of the General
Government, has resulted in inquiry to the cause
ofthc removal which announced some days since,
of Mr.. W. Steubcn Smith, from the Second Comp
trollor's (Mr Hlls) Office, i'll which he had been
employed by AIr. Crawford mt that time (1322) Sec
rotary of the Treasury. We understand. further,
that the President Of the United States being salts
fed that there official cause for removal and
altogether unapprsed Of such step being in conten-
platoon has given directions, TO obvate my ohsric
ton to that ofic al harmony which should prevail
throughout the Government, that Mr.. Smith be as
signed to duty in another Office Of the Treasury De-
partment, which will be quite agreeable as that
from which an attempt was msde 10 remove him.
In hisinterfcrencc ofthc President and in this
rangement we recognize with pleasure disposition
To discouncnnnce feelings of maevolencc, and 10
pei the attempt to crafty such through the medium

that the will and the watchfuness Of its sound

to think, that the power Of making roads and

sented 10 by the compact called lhe Consti-
tuition Of the United Slsles of America, (con-
strued according to the plain aud ordinary

time ior reflection and consideration whether,
under a temperate view Of the possible conse.
quences, and especially Of the constant obstruc-
tons which an equivor al majority must ever
expect to meet, they will still prefer the as
sumption of this power rather than lis accept
ance from the free will of their constituents,
and to preserve peace in the meanwhile, we
proceed to make it the duty of our ci,izrn',
until the legislature shall otherwise and uli'

we have declared to be usurpations, aud against

CHEROKEE LANDS.

We learn from Gen r NJ Saunders, who re-
turned few days since from The Cherokee Ma
ton, tina, himself and the Rev. Mr.. Posey, the
other Commissioner, succeeded in contracting
with the claimants for reservations OF land, in M
In four cases Of $40 acres each that there are
three or four remaining cases, in which they
expect to meet with no difficulty in obtaining /:
that the appropriation by Congress, $40 900,
will more than cover The purchase and at'end-
ing expenses; that it will be necessary for The
Commissioners again 10 visit the Nation, 10 pay
the money, lake conveyances, &c. when they ex-
pect to make final adjustment Of the whole
business; and that part Of these lands have
already been sold by the State but large por-
ton are yet TO sell, some Of which are valuable.
The country is represented 10 US as healthy,
and well suited to persons OF small force, as
stock Of all kinds is raised 10 great advantage.
The inhabitants Of the new county OF Macon
evince mach public spirit in the opening OF
roads, the erection Of public buildings, &c
Contracts have been made Tor the erection OF
a Court house and Jail both brick, al the price
Of about $4,000 There seems to BE no doubt,
that after another sale Of The Stale lands the
county will become fully settled.
Gen. Saunders says he heard nothing OF any
disurb an@c between the indians and The whites,
in relation to The removal oil he former beyond
The Mississippi; that the Talk of he President
is consider rec! as giving the coup de grace to the
Indians within the limits Of the Sta'es; thai the
old Indians express grea, unwilllngnrss 10 re-
move, and nothing but dire necessity will ever
induce them to sell the small portion ct land
which they still hold; that should the Legisla'
lures Of this State and Tennessee follow the ex-
ample of Georgia, in extending their laws over
The Indians and deny them the privilege OF
giving testimony, il will in great degree, force
them 10 leave the country. How far such
course Of policy would accord with principles
Of humanity and justice, remains with the Le-
gsla,ure in its wisdom 10 determine
