head Of its own southern branch;
and, therefore, the extreme north

fort convention. Also, from which
point the South Carolina g deed Of
Territorial cession to the United
States government provides a line
to be drawn due west ito its intersec-
ton with the ridge or chain Of
mountains which divides the eastern
from the western waters; and from
this said point of intersection along

sl,uting the comm on boundary line
between the territory ceded by
Sou!>h Carolina and that remaining
to her by the worded meaning and
purpose Of the Beaufort treaty. The
due west line of connection at the
ltorth end Of the river with that
section Of the great divide which
conN !t.uItes the eastern boundary of
the territory ceded admits no other
construction, and none other than
the territory ceded and described

1ljtory or Legislative enactmem; what
Soever. We hold that the accept
ance Of the deed in its connection
with the TREATY and its ratification
of the treaty in its provisional con-
nection with the deed makes the
Congress a beneficiary third party
'bo the pact. We, therefore, aieo ap-
peal to Congress for redress Of our
grievance.
I'VE do earnestly protest that the
Attorney General of South Carolina,
in his conduct of this case, has re-
rdated1y denied to this StaH her
right of pleadings and argument
the ChhHtooga river constituted a
part of the boundary between tho
two States. Your petition'trs protest
that the decree giving the islands.
extended to- the middle thread Of
the channel intervening BETWEEN the
island and the South Carolina shore
Is in violtion of the treat and the
statute Of both States.
I'VE, our petitioners, further pro-
test against the dtcree in the case
as follows: Whereas, public policy
as affecting the people of both States
and the rights Of Georgia (nkewise
South Carolina) require that all
doubt or cloud as to the Jurisdic-
tiom. OF Law enforcement. or title, or
taxing power, or franchises, touch
ing the localities in question, and
boundary between shc two States,
should be, without delay, (now fo!-
lowing the long deEay,) cleared
away. correctly adjudicated and
finally settled. Therefore, to these
greatly desired ends, wit, your petit
tioners pray that commission be
created by the present Congress to
supervise the making of a, survey of
that part of Ehe ridge or cain Of
nj uSntain which dividpts the eastern
from the western waters, insofar as
the same constitute the eastern
boundary line of the territory ceded
by South Carolina to the United
States govtrnment and that certa in
line to be drawn due west from the
Tugaloo river to its intersection
with the said dividing line along
the top of the said divide In order
to determine definite location and
the establishm Of this States ter
ritorial boundary, as a consequence
of the Beaufort treaty and the deed
of cession as its status in the Amer
ican Union OF States.

court to stay confirmation Of the
decree in respect to the proposed ac-
ton of tht Congress as a beneficiary
