Concluded from our lait BegislerJ ' j One more instance, ocJr,of the un constitutionality of this law, I shall; notice. Wc have heretofore neen, that the reservations of the cession act remain infu'l force, in the hani of North Carolina ; an express tondi "lion on vrh'uh she oHcred to cede them, never having: been complied Vrith. N'jwtvcfy jj'ne wU:dmitt that the late Uw'Ls etnin ly-iepunant to, and an infringe meet ot those re ftevatinns Yet that very act (the cession act) is decLmd to c invio late by the 32d section ofthe declara tion 'of rights, in ?hich Jr is said, 4 Nothing cootaincdj herein shall rx ttnd to afTcct i ;ns of individuals, to any part of the soil, which is recog nized to them by the cession act." Here we sec that our own constitution recognizes ' the cession , act, and dc . dares the. leservations of it inviola- jate.

" -y, r " ' . If, to prove the justice, and iairnss of the , clainit of N.' Carbliba' more arguments were; necessary,. 4 many more minht be adduced. In section 3 of article 3 of the constitution of the. United States, it i declared that 09 new State shall be formed out of thetTcrritories of any. State, without the coosent of the Legislature of the State concerned. Tennessee, then never could have been formed, with out a contract, for that, purpose, being had with the State of N. Carolina, or her eonsent thereto. It follows, that whatever conditions . she .prescribed n the act by which she ceded the territories, which row compose J en- nesee, are rood, and valid, in4aw, to all intents and purposes. The con ditions of the cession 'act "are 'well known, and titles for lands in Ten nessee, founded on those conditions, jnay have a preference toother titles. I hev stand on the surest foundation. I rhey are guaranteed by the consti- ution oi tne uniteu states, oy tne c mpact between tne United states and N Carolina, by the. good faith jnd magnanimity of N. C-jolin.i, and tX the constitution of our ovn Siatc. Can any. act. can any unconstitutional ct of cur Assembly defeat them ? rhat Assembly have, no manner of right to interfere in the business. be tween CJngrcss and North Cai-Taa, the affair must be debated. The fe deral c-urt must decide the depute, and the.e can be no shadow of doubt, in my opinion, as to the manner in which it will decide it. Congress h- -elf," omnipotent as it is, cannot in- f inge the just yights of N. Carolina I he sreord paragraph of section 3 of article 3rd of the Federal cons i tution, savs, that nothing in that con stitution shall be construed to preju dice any claim, of anv narticular State. . As to the act of Congress of lb06. it may reasonably he questioned, whether Congress had any right to pass such an act Whtther the act tvas consistent with the claims of N Carolinaresrrved in the cession act ? To those claims it did not appear to pay a just, regard ; and in fact, it i'tmj to be a bungling and unjust, acu It stipulated to give up to Ten nessee all right of soil which the U. States had to a part of Tennessee ; on condition that Tennessee surren dered to the United States her claim, to another part of her territory, to the soil of which she had no claim at all. If Tennessee had any claim to the right of soil South and West of the reservation line, she must have had the same claim to the.soil North and East of tht line. VVhy then should Ucngress cede to her that, to which, on these piomises, she had the tight before I 1 he business seems to be a nullity. . It presents a curious diffi culty, and one which I think, Con gress, in her act of 1806, would have done well to have considered. . Tne fact is, Tenuessee had no right to toverciguty of soil in any parr! of this St-itc, any farther ;tlian respects the laying on of takes. This is evident irom that clause of the cession act which declares, that all the lands in tended to be ceded by virtu of.that act, should remain common fund for the, use and benefit of the United States, -nd -huld not be disp ,sed of for any other purpose, the reserva tion excepted, Sec. No legitimate title could therefore be obtained, to lands in Tennessee, but from North Carolina, or the United States ; and as to those titles which have been procured from the Sttite of Tennes see, sin c the act of North Carolina of 1803 was passed, and in conse quence f the ratification by Tennes see, tif that act, I am entirely Of opin ion, for reasons heretofore given, that when properly examined into, they 'will be found, to be illrgal titles. But wc Will return to the act of t806 Had that act been no more than an express and full asscit of Congress to;he act of N. Carolina; it woald have settled the whots business ; but, as before shewn, jit was no such as sent. It can, in no way, affect the claims of N. Carolina, founded on the reservations xS the cession act. f.

Carolina', and those who ciaim tinder titles envea irom hcr,are not just and legal ? Vou will I am confident, agree with me, tnat they'' -arc. . That guaranteed by the good faith of N Carolina and by the constitution of our own state, they wiil remain inviolate, and be sepurr to the proprietors, anv act of Our le gislate (who I think must have act1 ed without properly deiioerating on the subject) to the contrary notwith standing:. For my own part, I am no way lnterestea in tne aecidion ox una rcatter. I claim no lands in 1 ennes see under titles from N. Carol I am no author. I am no lawy am no hired scribbler. I write no motives of interest at all. As a Iree Citizen, I havv taken the liber ty of freely expressing my opinions on this subject. If there is any thing erroneous in them, it has proceeded from a defect of understanding, not from a corruption of heart. The dis pute appears to be an important one : that it may be adjusted on the princi ples of equity is my wish. A. PALMER. Carter County, tfw. 12, 1812. State Bank of North-Carolina.
