Georgia and tie Cherokees. Several ofthe broad columns of the Na tional litelligencer of Saturtlo t y aro occu pied with the opinion of the Supreme Court, delivered by Chief Justice Marshall, in the ,pase - of - Samnel A:-Worcester- and the state • en cr . We _cannot. "ha space. for _the_ opinion entire, but publish' the tbllowing ex tracts: This case, in every point of view in which it min be placed, is of the deepest in. Wrest. The defendant is a State, a member of the Union, which has exercised the powers of government over a people who deny its jurisdiction, and are under the protection of the United States. The plaintifF is a citizen of the State of Vermont, condemned to hard labour for • four years in the penitentiary of Georgia, • under colour of an act which he alleges to be repugnant to the constitution, laws, and tree.- ties of the United States. The legislative power of a State, the con trolling power of the constitution and laws of the United States, the rights, if they have any, the political existence of a once numer ous and powerful people, the personal libel- , ty of a citizen, are all involved in the 'sub ject now to be considered.. It behooves this court,- in every case, • more especially in. this, to examine into its jurisdiction with scrutinizing eyes, before it proceeds to the exercise of a. power which is controverted. • The first,step in the performance of this duty is the Jury whether the record is' P' retied by the clerk of the court • • _ the judgment _of con lionunder which the plaintiff in et imprisoned,: and is• also authenticated the seal of the- court. It is returned thoind -annexed-to-a -writ of error issued in regular form, the citation being.signed by one of the -Associate Justices of. tile • Supreme Court, and served on the Geyer nor and,Attorney General of the state more _ than thirty days before the commencement of the term to which the-wrtrieerror was __-_ returnable. The Judicial act, so fat; as it *Scribes! the mode of proceeding, appears, to have been literally pursuedi -4 In February, 1797, a rule was male on this subject, in the tcilowine words: "it is ordered by the court that the clerk of the couitto which any ivrit of error shill be - directed; may malgreturn of the sanie by transmitting, a-true copy of -this record,and of all proceedings ill the same, undei - his hand and the seal of the.court.." This has been dOne. But the signature of the Judge has not been added to that• of the clerk. The law does not require The rule does not require it. After entering into a long argument, showing that the case had been properly submitted to the Supreme Court, referring to and analysing the treaties existing between . the United States and the Indians, quoting the constitution, Ace,.. Judge Marshall con cluded his opinion as follows: The Cherokee nation, then, is a distinct community, occupying its own territory, with boundaries accurately described, in which the laws of Georgia can have no - force, and which the citizens of Georgia have no, right to enter, but with the assent of the CherokeesiheinselKee, orin_cenferrer_ ity with treaties, and with the acts of Con gross. The whole intercourse between the United States and this nation is, by our con stitution.and laws, vested in the government of the United States; - - The act of the State of Georttgr, under which the plaintiff in error was prosecuted, . is-consequently, void, and the judgment a nullity. Can this court revise and reverse - it? "lithe objection to the system of tioa - lately adopted by the- legislature of Georgia in relation to the Cherokee nation, was confined to its extra-territorial opera . - , lion, the objection, though complete, so .far . as it respected mere right, would give this court no power over the suhject. But it goes much further. If the review which has been taken be correct, and we think it is, -the acts of Geoigia are repugnant to the . constitution, laws and treaties of the United ' States. They interfere forcibly with the relation established between the United States and the Cherokee nation, the relation of which, • ;according to the settled principles of our constitution, are coininitted exclusively to - the government of the. Union. - They are in direct hostility with treaties, . repeated in a succession of years, which - mark oat. the boundary that seperates the •Merokee country from Georgia; guarantee -ta them all the land within their boundary; solemnly pledge the faith of the U. States to restrain their citizens From trespassing on it; and recognize the pre-existing power • of the nation to govern itself. They' arein equal hostility with the acts of congress for regulating this intercourse -and giving effect to the treaties. • .• .;The . foreibl9- seizure and abduction of r. the plaintiff in grr or, who was residing in the nation, itith its permission and by au thority of the Pre 'dent of the United - States, • isalso l a iiolation of the acts which author . use theme. Chief Magistrate to exercise this sinthotity. - . '.‘ these powerful considerations avail Atia error? ...;We think theY will. oersted and forcibly carried 'away uniap r; the. guardianship, of treaties t . i iiitSissOng the country in which he re sad taking under the protection of, that 'tatted. etfv,teAsii Hb seized. while • •rota 10 under the4netiOrrorthe Chief 41 1 110 0 'Uno,.thpse duties:Which ) , FQ, orrLiag 44 - I!MIMICVA,V 411,0110514 had reconan n,;ed.

It cannot be less clear when the judgnwnt affects . personal liberty. and in -disgTacefa l —pun ish men t i ishrnent could disgrace when , inflicted on innocence. The ,plaintiff in error is not less entitled to the protection of the consti tution, laws, and treaties, of his country. It is the opinion of this court that the judgment of the Superior Court for the county- of G wilmett, in the State of Georgia, condemning Samuel A. Worcester to liar labour, in the penitentiary of the State of Georgia, for four years, was pronounced by that court under colour of a law which is void, as being repugnant to the constitu tion, treaties; and laws of the United States, and ought, theretinT, to be reversed and annulled.

MELANCUOLY ACCIDENT. An aceidont occurred at the Black Lead Mine in Southampton township, on Saturday afternoon, the :.3d inst. which occasioned the death of an.individual employed in it. The circumstances, as related to us, are as tbl lows:—On Saturday morning, Mr. Henry Fislrfr, the individual alluded to, after arriV• inn at the mine, remarked to Mr. Crafts his employer, that he had a presentiment he would not lire long, and that he would post up the books, which he accordingly did.— This occupied him until dinner time. After dinner he descended into the mine, arid mil.' gaged in l' the buckets with the mineral, which are lifted to the surfuce by horse pow er. While the,second bucket wis raising, it caught in one of the slats that are allixed to the sides of the shaft for the purpose of individuals ascending and descending, which caused the rope to break, and the bucket, containing about three hundred weight of metal, was precipitated upwards of sixty feet - upon Mr. Fisher, who was ungardedly stand ing under it. The shaft, from the level to the surface, is between ninety an l a hundred feet deep, perpendicular. Mr. Craft, in his hurry to descend, clasped the rope with his hands and knees to slide down, which is fre quently 6ne, and not being aware of its shortness had a narrow escape. When a bout thirty feet down he suddenly reflected, and left the rope for the slats, when tie dis., covered that in another moment, reflection would have come too late About five fe:lt loive4: down, the rope terminated, and he would\probably have been precipitated into eternity N . Upon raising the body ()Orr. Fish er to the sureace, it was foUnd that the buck et bad struck him on the right side of the head, and fractured the skull; the right shoul der blade was displaced, the ribs, hip bone, tkc. broken,' and proturding from the skin, and in other respects shockingly mangled. Mr. Fisher was a young man of estimable deportment and has left a widow and child to lament their afflicting bereavement. [Bucks County Republican.

"Since that time," says the evanport Telegraph, "there have been 6 additional cases, but no deaths, making in all 16 cases and 7 deaths in three days, out of a population of nearly a million and a half. Its progress, therefbre, is any thing but alarming, though the intellioence has, of course; greatly agitated the whole country."
