 tSsogress regulates the intercourse be- 0v' tbe Indians and the Whites. But i ssT. Y aa;slature of Georgia makes other jaws p5psb 3'stssbllshes different regulations, for this 'u sourse. An act of Congress gives to ''',sa Ssnreme Court of the United States the
 syc ;.;on ofcertain cases decidedin in our high
 State Courts, with the power to reverse s;, decision. Our Legislature says, the S",ome Court shall not have this revision. g.Is gss same SC! ef Congress, orders the l,',.
