TUE STATE OF GEORGIA-.
On Saturday last, (the 3d inst.] Mr. Chief
Justice llAtisit.w. delivered the opinion of
the Court in this case reversing the judg
ment of the Superior Court of Gwinett coun
ty, in Georgia. The effect of this decision
is, that the recent acts of Georgia taking
possirssion of the' Cherokee country, .and
providing li,r the punishment of, perSOllS
therein residing without taking an oath of
allegiance to the State, are declared null and
vuid, as contrary to.the coustitutiowtreaties,
and laws of the United States.
The opinit n of the Chief Jestice was'
very elaborate and clear. Ile took , a re-- •
view of the origin of the European title to
lands in America, upon the ground of dis
covery. lie established that this right was
merely conventional among the European
Governments themselves, and fbr their own
guidance, and the regulation of' their own
claims in regard to each other,' and in no
respect changed or affected to change the
rights of the Indians as occupants of the soil:
That the only effect of' the Europeau title
was, as between European nations, to recog
nise au exclusive ripiit of trade. and inter
course with the Indians, and of ultimate
domain in the territories occupied by the
Indians in favor of the nation or government,
whose subjects were the first discovesers:—
That all the European governments,,Spain,___
France, and especially Great *Wan,. had
uniformly recognised the Inclitfr .
nations as distinct communititili, 'Ls pitbleof; t
and entitled to, seirgovermett!osuStates,
mid in no respect, except twto_ their right •
of intercourse with other European nations,
and the right of pre-emption in the diqcolee
erers to, piirchase their soil, as under the
control or power of the - Europeans. They
weretreate t kasjialinna PP pi' ble-of-hOlditle----
and ceding their territories, capable of
making treaties and compacts, and entitled
-to all the powers of peace and war, and not
as conquered or enslaved communities.---
Ile demonstrated this from various histori
cal facts; and showed that when upon the
Revolution the United Colonies succeeded
to the rights and claims of the mother coun
try, the American Congress uniformly adop
ted and adhered to the seine doctrine, b orn' '
before and after the confederation; that since
the adoption of the Constitution the same
-doctrine--had as tin ifoinihriste vat led In OF—
thd departinents of the Government; and
that the treaties with the Indians were held
to be treaties, and obligatory in the same
sense as treaties between European sove
reigns. He showed also that this had been
the established course of things recognised
by Georgia herself, from the adoption of
the Constitution down to the year 18729, as
evinced by her solemn acts, compacts, and'
laws. lie then showed that by the Consti
tution the exclusive power belonged to the
United States to regulate intercourse with -
the Indians, and to receive cessions of their
lands;--and--to-ma
Thaltheithel s Stato-Govern.----------
ments had been constantly upheld; that the
right ofpossession to their land was soleme
ly-guaranteed by the United States and by
treaties with them, until that title should,
with their own consent, be extinguished,and
that the laws passed by Congress had regu
lated the trade and -- intercourse with them s
accordingly. Ile now reVie.wed the laws of
Georgia iii question, and pronounced them to
be repugnant to the Constitution, treatiee,
and laWs, of the United States. And he ' •
concluded by maintaining that the party de
fendant in the present indictment was enti
tled to the protection of the Constitution,.
treaties, and laws, of the United States; and
that Georgia had no authority to extend her
laws over the Cherokee country, or to punish
the defendant for disobedience to those laws, •
in the Cherokee country.
