UNITED STATES, VS.. GkORGIA.-A citation
signed by Judge Baldwin, has been served on
the Governor of Georgia, as the Representa-
tive of the State, requiring the State to DIP
pear before the Supreme Court Of the United
States, at its next term OH the Cd Monday of
January next at Washington, "to answer to
that tribunal for having caused person who
had committed murder within the limits of
the State, ION the Cherokee lands to be tried
and convicted therefor" The Governor has
laid before the Legislature Of Georgia, a CO.
py of the citation, accompanied with his
views in relation to the present state of their
Indian affairs. He concludes aa follows:
"In exercising the duties of the Executive
department, shall wholly disregard all such
unconstitutional acquisitions, of whatever
character and origin, and to the utmost Of my
power, protect and defend the rights of the
State, and use the means afforded me, 10
the laws and constitution of the
same.
The Legislature cannot fail to perceive
that the present issue between the State and
Federal authorities, has been engendered-
nurtured, and matured, by the advice, coun-
sci, conduct and proceedings of certain indi-
Viduals, claiming to be citizens of Georgia,
alluded to and pointed out in my message of
he 9TH inst therefore earnestly, but re-
'pectfully, urge upon the consideration of the
Legislature, the necessity o. such measures
Is shall sustain the policy Of the State. and
he faithful execution Of the laws, heretofore
enacted in relation to our Indian population.

been conformed to? Are not certain persons
Of noted character, admitted into the post Of

of the nails, who make it their business to ex-

the letters in this Office always in the safe

all letters and newspapers received at the

MEETING OF CoNGREss.-The Cd Session
of the Odd Congress, will commence at WASH
ington on Monday next, according to law
As many of the members have already ar
rived at the seat of Government, and many
more are on their way thither, it is probable
that quorum of both Houses will be formed
as early as Monday-Tuesday at the farthest.
The message of the President, may therefore
be expected here on Thursday or Friday
morning of next week. The Session, which
will continue but three months, will be one of
much interest to the Nation.

THANKSGIVING.

This "festval of gratitude, almost peculiar
to N. England" will be celebrated through
out this State, and the four other New-Eng-
land States, tomorrow. The following ap-
propriatc reflections on the observance Of
Thanksgiving, we extract from an excellent
article by VI. Il. Braman, an eminent Divine:
"What shall we render to the Lord for all
his benefits fear that this day will be pro-
famed by Incorporate indulgence, and unhal-
lowed pleasure. fear that from many mouths
no voice of gratitude will be heard, from ma
ny hearts, no aspirations of thanksgiving will
go up to the courts of the Heavens. | fear
that God will be neglected, the history of his
goodness will be forgotten. fear that God
will be insulted by blasphemous cries, and
the bounties Of Heaven prostituted. How
many will rise this morning, and forget to
send up the aspirations of praise. How ma
ny will sit down to luxurious tables, and ut
ter no thanksgiving to Him whose goodness
has crowned them with their riches How
many will retire to rest, more stupid and in
sensible than ever My soul, charge thee
to awake. Shake thyself from dust and from
sloth. Come thou, celestial Spirit, warm
and kindle it to flame. Come let US break
forth into songs, and let the voice Of our
go up to the Heavens" |

New-York, where they were informed Of the
fact, by confidential friends Of Van Buren,, and
this was communicated to them generally, as
a thing settled and to be relied upon. AND
it is well known to many, that this Van Bu-
rem candidate has been long in close CORES.
pondence with certain agents of that intrig-
uing politician. And while he has been pre-
tending that he is not himselfa candidate, he
has taken care to say that Mr. Potter ,0o,dd mol
be the Senator Mr. p. had no pretensions; he
had been fully paid for his services, and had no
claims upon THEIR party.
We shall take no trouble to undeceive the
Globe in its speculations,-derived from false
informers. The Globe does not want to be
undeceived. Its object is to deceive the pub
lie. We leave the Globe to profit by expert
ence.
We cannot, however, allow the imputation
cast by the Globe, (or rather by the letter wri-
ters here,) upon the Antimasons of Rhode Is
land to pass without notice. There are, and
always have been, two classes Of antinasons
in this State. The great bulk Of them are
true whigs.-They have been perfectly hon
est in their object, and the only difference be-
tween them and the rest of the wings has
been a difference in opinion as TO the means
of eflecting that object That difference of
opinion is now nearly obliterated. We do
not speak without warrant. Many of the an
tmasons are among our best friends and pat
rons; aud they do not hesitate to declare their
entire disapprobation Of the measures of the
present administration ofthc General Govern
ment. The other class of pretended antma-
sons, is composed of those who, without the
least regard for the great object of antmason-
ry,have been looking only for Offices and their
own personal aggrandizement. This distinc-
ton is now well understood by the antimasons
in this State. Their eyes were opened by
the intrigues of the office seeking antimasons
at the August elections in the towns Of War
wick and Cranston.
We may, or may not, take further notice of
lll1S TOUl lllc tlleTc are sOIilc
other things noticeable in it, particularly the
threat to the antimasons that if the Jackson
party in this State "run no ticket IN the Spring
here ,ciH be an UTTER OVERI'HROW
,f .4ntimasonry IN this State" This threat
may have its effect upon such antimasons as
ire seeking for office, but none with those
whose purposes are honest and unselfsh-and
Who will recollect that Gen. Jackson himself
S one of the high priests of masonry, and is
is great patron and promoter-upon none es-
'ecially who love their country and the con-
titution. II
We will only further add, for the informa-
ion of the Globe and all whom it may con-
ern, that no intrigues of the Jackson party,
r of the Van Buren, office party, or ofany 9TH
r party, can defeat the election of true
Vhig Senator for Rhode. Island. 4!

MURDERS.

The Baltimore American ofyesterday, gives
some particulars OF an outrage which has this
week been committed on the Washington
RaH-Road, eighteen miles from that CITY. in
volving the murder Of THREE of the deputy
Isuperlntendents Of that construction. It ap-
pears tina: on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. German,
one OF the contractors, was assailed i'm his own
shahty by eight or ten men, supposed to be
some OF those at work on the road. MIR J.
Watson, superintendent, was in the shanty
at the moment, on visit. Both gentlemen
were forcibIy dragged out, beaten and left in
state of insensibility. They, however. so
far recovered as to be able to give an ac-
count of the affair; but German still lies in n
very critical situation, and great doubts are
entertained Of his recovery. Mr. Watson an
peared to have been less dangerously woun-
ded, and there was every prospect that he
would survive the injuries on him. Mrs Cor
man was also assailed, and treated in the
most brutal manner.
AT midnight on Wednesday, the same ruff
hans surrounded the office where Mr. Watson
was lying wounded, and after breaking open
the door, they deliberately murdered him. the
back part of his head being cut open, and his
head being cut open, and his brains scattered
about William Messer, one of Mr. W,s as
slstants, and who was present in the office
wheh the attack OH 1t was made, was drag
ged out and shot dead! Another of the SUI
peflhtendents, Mr. Gallon, was also shot dead,
MS corpse having been found at a short dis
ance from the Office Several other persons
we're injured. The miscreants, after the
MURDERS, proceeded to rob the premises, but
we're desoted in their purpose by the pre-
INC OF m'nd OF Mr. Smith, the clerk, who
secured all the money! except a small sum in
pecie, and effected his escape. The circum-
tanccs attending these murders are not vo,
ully developed, neither are the ruffians ap-

The BUTcHERs.--We are requested to
state, by the several Butchers of this place,
that they have with one consent, come to the
conclusion not to supply the markets with
meat for sale on Sunday mornings, as has
hereto been the practice. They purpose
to keep the markets open during the winter,
on Saturday evenings till 8 o'clock, which
will give ample time to every person to pro-
vide for the Sabbath. This arrangement,
which is adhered to in most other places, will
not only materially conduce to their own con-
venience, but will, they confidently believe,
meet the appreciation of the public generally.
We think the above conclusion highly COM
and have not the least doubt it will
receive the decided approval of every men,
Der of the community.

How will the next Congress stand ?

How VII! the next Congress stand
This question has not been examined as it
ought to be. We have been disappointed in
New.York. Still more, have we been dsap-
pointed in New-Jersey. Our friends have
therefore been detected, unreasonaby dejec-
ted. Notwithstanding these disappontments,
we are actual gamers, so far as results have
been ascertained, We have gained the great
State Of Ohio: and we have gained in other
States, in numbers and in strength.
But one Of the tests is the question above
stated-Hoio ioiH the nert Congress stand?
Upon the best calculation, | am able TO
make, the Jackson majority in the next House
Of Representatives cannot exceed two. 1t is
quite probable the majority will be on the
other side.
Therefore, let the Wings be of good cheer.
Their efforts have not been unavaiing. Their
triumph has not been completes: but they have
triumphed.
Let them perscvere. They will have a
complete triumph, as surely as they have gain
ed the State Of Ohio.
Never give up the Constitution.
