INDIAN APPROPRIATION.
A great deal has been said in the opposition papers
upon the alleged extravaganza of the amount appropra
ted at the recent session Of Congress for the removal
oil The Indians IL has bF en- d. nounced though the
general governme n, had ab ely made gratuity Of
much money for the qualification OF Georgia Indeed
some OF The least scrnpuous have expressly charged
the administration with processing the measure for
purpose; and congress with objectionable
extravaganza in sustaining it, One would suppose from
their clamors, that Georgia had right TO demand
and the United States no oblieaion TO give this rel eff
These par'iz'ns carefully conceal the fact, that the
United States are only complying with contract for
which they have received ample confederation, and
that If the exrense of the measure should ultimately
amount which is exceeding doubtful even To the large
sums stated by the opposition, the United States c,n
have no right TO complain. They have received the
consideration, and are hound by every obligation of
national honor and good faith, to comply with The
tract.
In another column, publish an extract from
the speech of Mr. Forsyth Of Georgia, summing
mp briefly, the origin and conditions of the
tract between Georgia and the United States and the
cessons 20 the General Government nv which that
State acquired right TO the enactmon, of the present
or similar law. Under those cessions the United
aps acquired the territory nut of which the States
Of Alabama and Mississippi had been formed consiie-
ration sufficient in itself TO over-halance the
qured 10 fulfil the solemn stipulation OF the U. States;
and while those stipulaons have remained untitled,
and since the date of the contract hy which the ohga-
ton was incurred, the United States have purchases
for o'her States, nearly thirty millions If acres from
Southern tribes. We heard anv cutlery against
