 Does any member of this House desire
 this? <.
 Sir, am. convinced, that if the memo
 rialists knew what has taken place in the
 Supreme Court, their memorial would not have been presented. If they knew that the questions, arising under the Indian treaties and laws. had been submitted to what they deem to be the proper tribunal, and that that tribunal had decided in favor of their validity, would they have any tEing further to desire? With theseviews I ap- prehend the House will think that any ac- ton upon the memorial at this time would be unnecessary. We are called on by every obligation which binds us, as lovers ofour country and constitution, as citizens of this Republic, not to discuss question which can lead to no good, but which may be pregnant with incalculable evil. We may tell Georgia what course she ought to pursue--we may threaten her with our ven- geance if she does not conform to our will :: but by so doing, we shall only add fuel to the flame, and perhaps. provoke her proud and chivalrous citizens, who might be in- clincd to conform to the mandate of the ] court, from resentment and indignation, to refuse their obedience to it.
 ! deem it advisable that we postpone 1 further discussion to future period.

He trusted. however, that any action of Congress on the subject would not be required. He trusted that the generous and enlightened South would not trample on the common prosperity. nor cut itself loose from the common bond of Should this, nevertheless, come in the course of events, the nation will still trust remain great and prosper ous, and Georgia--whatever God per- mits her to be.
 A QUAKER JUMPING A DITCH.
 Hezskiah Broadbrim was fat quaker, ID the state of New-Jersey, who sold molass-- s- es, codfsh, coffee. china and earthen ware, cloths, and all sorts of liquors. We like
 the Quakers very much, who are Quakers ih deed as well as name; but Hezekiah was Hickory Quaker. He was somc-
