The Court sustained th'e'plea on the ground thai Alabama had become a member of the Union, wUi a full knowledge of the treaties then subsisting between the United States and the Cherokee Indians that they were the supreme law of the land, land guaranteed in terms or by implication, th right of soil and jurisdiction, and that the Stated in extending the laws over the Indians had transcended its constitutional If 1 1 i II II ii mony, arid of enjoym the sweets (we say nothing of the Bitters) of wedded Lore. i Xevbern October, A Narrow escape. We understand from the passengers) who carae in the northern stage on Wednesday evening, that they made a most providential escape in passing over the bridge at Washington. After the stage, containing ten passengers, including wb ladies, had passed the centre of the bridge, it began to sink, the plank and sleepers crushing under it The driver, Mr.

King, immediately plied the lash to his horses, and for a moment the struggle was doubtful; the team however being freshand powerful, surmounted the danger, and were enabled to keep in advance of the Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. King for his cool, intrepid and skilful behavior on the occasion. We learn from the passengers, who afterwards returned to view the scene, that so complete was the wreck that a foot passenger could not have passed over the centre of the bridge. Every sleeper, was gone, even the outside ones, and many of the plank, leaving gaps' of three and four feet. We understand that the passengers presented Mr.

King with a slight testimonial of their gratitude and We are indebted to the nolitpnpa of fers. W. Davis Co. for the folk? winr extract of a letter to that firm, dated Liverpool Sept. 7, 1833.

"I avail myself 0 the present opportunity to inform you of the state of our Market for Cotton and Turpentine; of the former article, the import this week amounts to 11,617 packages, and the re orJy 12,420 bags and bales, of which 3,430 Boweds, 9 3-4 a 12 1-2; 360 Mobile, Alabama, and Tennessee, 9 3-4 a 12 1-2 a 9 1-4 a 11 J-2, and 310 New Orleans 9 3-4 a 14 cts. per lb. In the early part of the week the demand was very limited, and the sales at I-8d. per lb. decline; nor was there, any increased disposition to purchase until yesterday afternoon, when in consequence of still lower prices having been submitted to income few instances, the buyers came forward more freely, and the sales were estimated at 4000 bales, nearly half said lobe on speculation.

In the middling and lower qualities of American descriptions, purchases were then made at a decline cf 1-4 a 3-8 per lb. whilst in the better kinds, their scarcity has prevented any material alteration, Yesterday evening, however, the market became more steady again, with less disposition to effect sales on previous terms. Speculators have taken 3000 Bales of American descriptions: to-day about 1500 bags have been sold at steady rices, and it is expectec that good business will done next week.

Mr. Woodbridge has received no returns for his labor as editor or proprietor, and finds it necessary to give up the publication, unless some change takes He says, "If men of education will not sustain it, the ignorant certainly will not do it. It has no party character or popular attractions to reccnunend it," The number alluded to is in the Reading Room. Price S3 per year published monthly, and forms a volume of 600 pages.

1 Case or Owens. In the Charleston Courier 1 1 of the 15th inst. is an editorial article, which represents Mr. Owens in the most unfavorable light. He is there declared an outlaw desperado, robbing and committing outrages on those whom the government was bound to protect and that with a ferocity belying his lineage, that paid no respect to sex, and a greedy avarice that inva ded even the sanctuary of the! dead." A gentleman, (whose, word we cannot possibly doubt) called at our office a short time since, and declared that he at one time spent two days at Owen's house, and had very frequently called there; that he was a man much esteemed in his neighborhood moral, benevolent and friendly, and as far as the world could judge, a pious man.

These; characters are very opposite, and we wish that the Alabama papers would enlighten us on the subject We should be sorry to see a man held up as infamous, for n.ny purpose, without deserving it. And when the grave has forever -closed his' lips against reply, the living ought to rescue the memomy of Owens from undeserved reproach, even if hewcre a nullifier. A Name There is a nullifier in S. Carolina, named Animisopkebusqvtpo.ratus QuaUZebottom. We wish there was a regiment of such names among the nullifiers, and that Calhoun was obliged to call the roll daily, until he acquired an appetite for Union.

A fellow, who kept an unlicenced grog-shop in Pensacola, lately murdered the mayor of that city, who had sent an officer to execute the law.

A man by the name of Barton, while intoxicated, murdered his wife, a short time since, in Salem county, New Jersey. John Brown, of South Kingston, R. I. a man of intemperate habits, aUempted to kill bis wife and her father, a few weeks since. He fired a pistol at his wife through a window.

She was dangerously wounded the ball having passed through her arm, and from thence crossed her breast. It is thought she will recover.

It cannot be doubted that the District com, or the courts of this state would inter- for Its ninvmmt rrsse their authority for hla protection. vhpnrf then ia the Dower derived toreruuu r-ni the ooasession of these imDrovementaf If the Indi ans to rent their fields, they only us the privilege common to every citizen, and if a person obtains peaceable possession under a contract of Uris kind; he Cannot be removed by military forcef without a total disregard of the Constitution of the United States.

If a ci- titen fan be thus forcibly and unceremoniously expelled from his possessions, the aword has already cutout from hat instrument, the clause which declares that no per-r eon shall be deprived of his ''property without due pro -ess of law." But Intruders are to be removed by force, from itse lections, "for the term of nve years from the "tlflea-tioo of the treaty," Ac After the Indiana are placed in rVion of their tracts, 90 of which are to contain acres and the others 320 acres each, they will certainly cease to be publie land, hot onlv the right to occupy, but the right to self is secured by the Treaty And it there is any reason for contending the im-. nrovementa before the reservations are located, are not private property, there will be none afterwards. constitution of the United States, in limiting the powers of the General Government, in relation to the public domain, is too explicit to admit of doubt. It is that "Congress shall have power to dispose of, and mate all needful rules and regulations respecting the erritory or other property of the United States. When these lands are sold or disposed of its authority ceases, and it has no more or greater power to regulate their future possession or punish for tresspasses than any other tend holder.

The government may make a contract with our citizens, conferring what title it chooses, but ttte contract is-to be enforced and the title protected, by the court, and not by its own direct action. One hundred years might with equal propriety, have been inserted in. the treaty, and there was the same authority for extending the power of removal, to subsequent purchasers that there was to the Indians. That the Indians within the limits of this state are d--Tizens thereof and subject to its laws, In every respect, cannot be questioned, at least by the General Government. The Treaty rith these people is nothing more r.nn a contract with so many citizens of Alabama Huppose an agreement Bad been entered into with right resident citizens of the county of Montgomery, ac-, ting for themselves and I also as the agents of one hon-ired of their neighbors, by which the government, be-- sides to each 640 acre of land, had stipulated to remove by forcej for five years, all persons who might intrude upon" any of these tracts.

It is quite apparent that such stipulation's well aa any attempt to carry It mto eflect, would be an unwarrantable interference with matters which tan be regulated alone by the laws of the state, and a palpable encroachment upon its r.fnrtadiction. And yet this Case is precisely similar in principle to the one under If the General Government have the right to regulate the conduct of our people in relation to their land, if it can rightfully expel a citizen who tresspasses upon the landed possessions of his neighbor- by the summary interposition of a guard without even the forms of military Investigation, what is to restrain it from the exercise tif the samejower in relation to trespasses tjpon personal property 1 From this the transition would be easy to the taking cognizance of nil irregularities, misdemeanors and crimes, the right to punish which, has heretofore, been consider od as belonging exclusively to the State tri-bttnals. If, by the treaty making pqwer, the ordinary operation of our law, upon the persons and property of our own citizens can be -as will be the case if the 5th article of the treaty is executed in the, mode prescribed in your late order to the Marshal, the whole field of State jurisdiction may be considered as occupied and State sovereignty, Vie reserved rights of the States, 4c, are but unmeaning sounds, totally unworthy of serious consideration. I know that these terms are used by many mere cant expressions, and that they have been brought into disrepute by the prc-; pensions and absurd doctrines of a sister State; but they imply things that are still worth preserving, 'and as long as the blessing's of this Union nre justly appreciated, they will command the best and highest exertions of the patriot. It is often difficult to trace, with precise accuracy, the boundary which separates the jurisdiction of the Bute and Federal Governments.

We can at Mm bnvafvrr rieteVmine nearlv where it 4 v. lies. But 'this treaty is for giving it a new direction. It crosses the line designated the constitution at1 right angles, and runs into the very heart and centre of our domestic concerns. But, Sir, there is another view of this subject, hich will expose in a light still more glaring, he utter incompatibility of this' treaty with the urisdictive rights of the State of Alabama.

As before observed, the right of extending our laws over the country from which our people are ordered to be expelled, is admitted to the fullest extent This necessarily implies the right of employing the means that are indispensable to Us exercise. What are these means! As enumerated in the constitution of this State and the laws made in pursuance thereof, they, are, that tap btate i shall be laidoff into counties, and convenient circuits, that the circuit courts shall be held in each Ummt turiM in averv vear. that the coun- ties shall be divided Into small districts, in each of which there shall be appointed two jusuccs 'peace and two constables, that there shall be-i in each circuit a judge of the circuit oourt, who shall Ircside in his circuit, that there ahall be for each county a judge of the county court, that there shnll DC also lrteacn county, cuit and county courta, a. coroner, notaries public, commissioners of roads and revenue, and that there shall be ummoned, previous to every circuit court, a competent number of grand and petit Jurors, and a like number of peat jurors for the county courts, Alrthese ministers of our laws are required to reside in the counties to whieh their offices telorlg. Thess are the ordinary means by which awr State government is put in operation, and effect given to our laws: And yet the late in, structions to the Marshal, absolutely prohibit the useof any of them.

The General Government ha not only admitted the right of Alabama to extend her jurisdiction over the ceded country, butit has invited and encouraged such extension by sundry documents to which it is unnecessary to refer. No sooner, however, is the country organized and the necessary cteps taken, to this end, than an armed force is collected on the banks of Chataboochee, for thepur-J pose of expelling, from this larpe and flounkhing Jecuonof the State, all "white persons" inclu-din of course all civil officers and other persons rvhose agency is necessary to the execution of onr will have no cower to punish any of fences committed by the Indians or to subject them-j in any respect to the restraints oi we iaw, our courts will have been suppressed in all the counties in which ey reside. Now Sir, if your mder be carried i ito effect win not an instance have occurred in 01 it country, and the first instance, loo, of the government of a State being put down and destroyed, in nine of its counties, by military Torcel Will not tl ic alarming spectacle be exhibited of the laws of one of the States of this Union, in their ordinary operation, being compelled to ield in a time of profound peace, to the dominion ftf tf, swnrrl to irive way to the capricious will of a Dcnntv Marshal, whose favorite modes of punishment seem to be the conflagrauoa ofdwcl-' lings and the application of the bayonet "4 respectfully request that this projer so fatal in its tendency to civil liberty and so directly subversive of the acknowledged rights and Bwcreign-ty of the state of Alabama, be abandoned. I protest Against it as an unconstitutional interference with our local and internal affairs, and as a measure of revolting injustice and oppression towards tw nortion of our inhabitants who have not in- yAthm Indians. Put awav.

Sir: the sword heftn tmnecessatily aad too laastily drawn against hia large and nnoffending community, It is the appropriate arbiter in contests of ambition, but not in question, of constitutional tight. It is not tobe forgotten, that the American people, on a recent occasion, prunouoccu uuua- tkally, ihit of jurisdiction between the foreign and domestic branches of otrr gcrernment, are to be settled by the tribunals which the constitution vests with th nnvrr of eXDOlindinff the laws, to these tribunals I appeal on behalf of vguuupecpie or this tttate.

"Money is much more plenty than before business is brisk, and the trading circles are all life and animation." We are willing to bclievefthat ihe removal of the Deposites has not injured the money market, but doubt its having produced any good.

At a town meeting recently held in New London, it was unanimously agreed, that all persons dying in the Alms House, and all poor strangers dying in the town, should be decently buried at the public expense.
