"j t,, ...... First then, we must look at the 'case, as it came before the Court, without re gard to moral or philanthropic or equita ble considerations connected with it. We are not even to enquire in consider ing the late, decision of the Court, whe ther the Indians have been wrtmjredby the legislation of Georgia, or by the acquies cence of the General Government in that legislation. Of course, then, we are not to enquire whether the alleged wrongs of the Cherokees require redress. There is '& preliminary question which requires U be settled the question of the righ' if the Supreme Court to exercise original jurisdiction in the case. If it has not! that right, then no case was presented for it to act upon, and it could not grant the injunction prayed for. The 2d section of the 3d article of the Constitution declares, that " the Judicial power shall extend,' among other cases enumerated, iilo controversies between a State, or the citizens thereof, and foreign States, citizens or subjects." The same section goes on to declare that iiin all eases in which a State shall he a party, the Supreme Court shall have original juRisnicTiON." If the Cherokee Nation, therefore, be & foreign State, in the,-sense of the Constitution, then the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction (if such a case as that presented by the Cnetokees. as was contended by their bill, and bv the arguments of their Counsel before th Supreme Court. If the Cherokee Nation be not a foreign power in the meaning of the Constitution, then the Court has not l'urisdiction of the case sought to be made before it. The Court decided that the Indian Nations within the limits of the United States are not ' foreign States," and therefore refused to grant the writ oi injunction. The reason for this docision are drawn theDepartment of State, to which is giv en in charge the relations of the United States wit)) Foreign powers, but through the Department of War. Who would think of sending a Minister, or Deputa tion, from one of the Powers of Europe, from the Grand Turk, or the Emperor of China, or from any Foreign Power, to hijrid in his credentials to the War Min ister of the Government ? The treaties made with the Indians, it will be observed, furnish no vaiid. argu ment in favor of the claim which they Vet up, for present purposes, fo be consider ed as jorsign nations. For, when the Constitution sta.b!iihps flr'ti patv-inakinc- . j power, it avoids, with evident intent, say ing-any thing which shall limit this au thority to treaties with; Foreign Nations. . -IN, . ...... O " l ne 1'iesident shall have power.bv and with the advice and consent ot 4 the Senate, to make treaties ; provided. i two thirds of the Sea'ors present, con- cut :' th.it is to make trea ies with Foreign Nations, or, as the Government had tiiertofore been in the habit of doing, with the Indian tribes. The treaties from time to time made with the Indians abound with provisions which show that they were considered in a different relation from that of - foreign, or sovereign and independent nations.' In-one of these. treatiis, fpr example, it was stipulated that the Indians 'who wore narties to it should be erected into a State 'r States, of the Union, when their num bers should justify it ; in another, that a particular tribe should have the privilege of sending a Representative to Congress when sufficiently numerous, &c. Could a similar provision be made by treaty in favor of any foreign nation ? From these and a variety of other illus - It is tlie government of God made ef fectual by his Spirit, which produces thai righteousness which exalteth a nation ; and the Sabbath is the chief organ of iir administrationf-the mainspring of all moral movements the great centre of at traction and fountain of illumination to the moral world. This omnipresent influence the Sab hath exerts, however, by no secret charm tr compendious process upon massed of ignorant ; and Unthinking- mvn ; but. by calling up the voluntary attentiou of ach individual to those-truths by whijjh his knowledge is augmented, and motive are m essed upon his heart, and habits of coi cientious action are formed. The Sabbaih exerts no more moral pow tend his cause, we look for a careful ex ample, a thorough discipline, and a cheer ful concentration of their 1uflaence, to farni an elHcient public sentiment which shall rescue the Sahbath from profanation and oblivion. If profrssoi s of religion vi otate the Sabbath, who will: -observe it? If they d; not stand forth united for its preservation, who Will defend it ? And if, for its violation, -judgment Shair be gin at the house of God, what shall the end be of them that know not God, ancf " obey not the Gospel ?" A SCENE AT SING SING t. t. stats uio.

Messrs- Editors: Xow wilt ohlie a subscriber by gVing place to the subjo ned Cwtnntumcatioii from the pen of one of the most distinguished writers in thia country. It is universally admitted, that the pre- valencv of knowledge and virtue among a people is indispensable to elevated and permanent national prosperity ; and pre eminently so for the perpetuity of repub lican institutions, in a nation so extended ;is our own in territory, so rich in soil. o multitudinous in numbers, so vigorous in enterprise, and, unless restrained by moral power, so sure to be carried by the t ide of a corrupting abundance to disso- from the duties of it. than schools and se muiaries exert of intellectual power.upon the vagrant population who never attend them. The folly of expectingtomaintain the religious and moral character, of the nation without the Sabbath, would not be surpassed by the attempt to disseminata learning over the nation by empty sch ol houses and college?. In proportion then, as the inhabitants of our nation are with drawn by .business or pleasure from the instructions 'or -the Sabbath, to the same extent will its moral power be impaired, and the temptations of our abounding pros perity prevail, to corrupt our virtue, and to undermine our republican institutions, and hasten us on war1 to that fearful state of guilt, which will render self-government impossible, and despotism itself the lesser evil. The liberties of our cou'ntrv, the wel fare -of lie world, are at stake. If this nation fails in her vast experiment, the world expires;- anu without the moral en ergies of the Sabbath it will fail. We might as well put out the sun, & think to enligh- en the world with tapers destroy the at traction -oi gruvitv and think to wield the universe by human powers as to ex tinguish tne moral illumination1 ot the Sab bath, and break this glorious mainspring i tiie moral government ot God. And when shall we stop, inot now ? and how shall we arrest the evil, but by voluntary association and -voluntary-reformation ? Will you then, beloved countrymen, for the pitiful gain "of sabbath-day earnmgi, rob the auimal creation of that which their Creator gave to them, when he g;ive its do minion over them ? Will voli forego the means of, grace, purchased for you by the b!o:id of Christ? Slop in vour. families the wells of salvation, and put out the light of lie, and teach your children to work out their destruction, instead ot their salva tion, upon the sabbath-day ? Will you besiege the citadel of civil .liberty, & un dermine tiie pillar which sustains the en tire superstructure, and bury y lursell ant your country in the ruins pi its mighty tall ou would not steal nor rob tor gam, nor send out pestilence upon the land, nor let out wild beasts and reptiles to poison ant rcid. You would plead no liberty of con science to do tnis, and no children s bread earned by such enterpriser Why then will you persist so deliberately, so eager ly, so 'inflexibly, in the violation of the Sabbath, which is but a comprehensive mode ot wresting from us all our blessings, and letting out upon the land all manner of evil? To the labouring rfoor, particularly, would we say, it was for you especially, that the Sabbath was made ; and will you sell your birth-right? In all countries where tlie Sabbath is not kept," the poor are pressed down beneath a hopeless bon dage. The Sabbath, duly observed, will raise your families to intelligence, and competence, and all civil honours, as the 1 11 t ft wheel ol rrovidence roils ; while tue vi- mieift re in the manner required on the part of the Indians. ju'uunal Gazelle. We trust that the decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of the Cherokee Nation a:tint Georgia, will be universally acquiesced in. 'It will set the question ibrtver at rest, and m;iy perhaps, upon the whole, be rather beneficial than otherwise to the Indians. It will plape their relations to the United States upon a sure footing' and give a definite and fixed character io their claims .to Ratio: -al sbvereiftv. i ' FeeilrricMown Examiner, I I - -a-vs .vww 0st beautiful appearance of vegetable ?arrivcd. The statement of the National Gazette, that, in the late decision of the Supreme Court on the motion on behalf of the Chero kee Nation; the Court! merely 'declared that it has not the power to interfere in the manner required, i$ 'entirely correct A different impression, however, seems to have been received bv some, and the nhiion generally entertained of the effect of that decision appears fo us to be not very definite. This is not at all .:su prising to those who have not before them the opin ion of the Court, which discloses the whole merit of the legal question. As it in'avbe some time before that opinion is published, perhaps our; readers may not be displeased with such a view of the question as, by light reflected by the opinion of the Court, fias presented itself to us. We do not pretend, of course, to give the reasoning of the1- Court, but to disclose the leading considerations vvmel produce conviction in our: mind of the correctness of the conclusion to which it 4 included. If the Indians within the States of the Union had been at that time regarded as foreign nations of course the Constitution would not have excluded themfrom the enumeration, any more han'it has the inhabitants ot Europe v or the wandering Arabs. If they were not f 4foreign States" at that time, they cer tainly are not now. : 2. Congress shall have power to reg- 4ulate commerce with foreign nations, & 4 among the several Slates, and with the Indian tribes-" In this provision it will be seen that the. Indian tribes were not regarded by the framers of the Constitution as foreign nations," nor as being States of the Uni on : because, after specifying both of these, it adds, as not being included m either, " and with the Indian irilks." The conclusion that the Indian tribes and foreign relations were understood to stand in distinct relations to the General Gov ernment 'm irresistible '"The Indian tribes indeed5? stand as completely dis tinguished, in this clause, from 4 foreign nations," as they do from 44 the several States." They were neither foreign na tions, nor States t the Union, bub some thing different from either. AH the legislation of Congress corres ponds with- this inevitable construction of the only clauses of the Constitution in vhich the Indiansare specially mention- .A All Infm rniirco inl rra 4tinnc vith them have been conducted, nof thro1 tl was noticed sauntering about the place where the prisoners of Sing Sing were fiursuing their avocations. He was dressed, in at-vugh roundabout jacket, loose trowi sers," and tarpaulin hat: and as fie strol- Jed around, noticing the industry and skmi or me prisoners in hewing and chis-seUing- the blocks of marble on .which thoy were employed, his countenance' wore an expression nf approval of theiv labors 'very difiTeretit from that which one of our New-York stone-cutters and anti- .Monopoly men would have exhibited in the same circumstances. It was early in the piorning, and as the sentinels walked-to and fro on their posts, their well-cleaned musket barrels glittering ia the rising sun, they now and then casta sidelong -.lance to the stranger, to'- sr that he ludtf no communication with the convicts over whom it was their duty to seep a vigilant guard. 1 lie stranger seemed little disposed to enter into con versation wifii tlie compulsory lapidaries. out wanted deliberately around from one iart ol the ground to another, with the air of one who merely desired to gratify us curiosity as to the details of the far famed prison discipline of Sing Sing. While Ii? was thus engaged, a sloop which had been Wins: at a wharf not far mT, shoved Thit into the stream, its iib ind mamsa:l were run up, and swell eft out by the breeze, and a boat belonging to me vessel, which had been detained at the dock, apparently waiting for some one, seemd on the point of leaving it,and uuing ott to the sloop. At this moment the stranger turned, and seeing at a glance tlie situation of affairs, and an expression of anxiety naseed over his countenance. 4 My stars," exclaimed he, 44 there goes the sloop, and the jolly boat h goinjj; to shove off-! I shall be left to a dead certainty." As he spoke thus, he step- ued quickly towards the shore at a point where one of the sentries was walking to and fro. 44 Stand there I" said the sentinel, 44 you cannot pass this-' war." 44 But, my dear lei low, there goes thfe sloop, and 1 shall be left behind, unless you suffer me to pass. I have just re turned from an India voyage, and am ta king a bit of a round turn up the. river, to see the old ones, before Tin off to sea again. Pray let me pass." Itis contrary .t orders," said the, soldier, dropping his musket to a hori zontal position, and bidding the sailor stand oil. You must go but yonder, where you came in. No one is allowed to pasV here." . The stranger thus repulscd.turned and walked hastily to another part of the grounds, where he met; with an eqaally prompt refusal from another sentinel. Ip this dilemma nothing, was left for- hirru but to turn, and pass through the usual place of egress and entrance. As he ap ¬ proached this place, one -of the deputy It is not denied, that the Sabbath brings to our aid the only power which can con duct our glorious experiment ol self-go vernment to an auspicious result; tne only power which can balance the temp tations ol avarice ami wealth, and recon cile eminent prosperity with moral purity and abiding liberty and vquahtv. It is alike obvious, that the Sabbath exerts this salutary power by making the population of a nation acquainted with the being, perfections, and laws of God j with our relations to Jiini.as creatures, our obligations to him as subjects of his moral government, and our character as sinners for whom his mercy has provided a Saviour ; under whose remedial govern ment we live, to be restrained from sin and excited to duty by the alternate in fluence of hope and fear, and to be recon ciled to God by the energies of hi Spirit attending his word and ordinances. It is by the reiterated instruction which the Sabbath, duly observed, imparts to the population of a nationby the moral principle which it lorms by the con science which it maintains & invigorates bV the habits of cleanliness and indus try which it creates by the rest and renovated vigour, which it bestows on exhausted animal nature by the length ened life and higher health it gives and by the holiness it incpires, and the cheer ing hopes of heaven that it awakens, and the protection of heaven which its obser vances ensures thatlhe Sabbath becomes .c great ntoral conservator of natias. olation of it will raise up over yoa nionied aristocracy, thriving by your vi ces, and rising by your depression, and dooming you and your posterity to t hewers ol wood and drawers ol water lor ever. ; If you continue to violate the Sab bath, you may wear the livery of freemen, but it will be in the house of bondage you may go through the mockery of vo ting for your rulers, but it will be done under the powerful dictation of masters. God is wise, and you cannot mend his institutions, or do without them : He is omnipotent- and you cannot flee from him ; and you cannot stand betore mm : He is just, and will bv no means clear the guilty. And now, fneno and breth ren, we trust that through mconsioerauou you have given yourselves to the violation of the Sabbath ; and that, when your own and vour country's deep interest in its preservation are considered, you will de sist from it. and give your example and influence for the preservation of that bless ed day, which is so eminently the poor; til It. t ft .7 IVOMf !,! ft VJ. llli W J V ' -V too lightly esteemed. y To the Minister's of the Sanctuary we look fur abstinence: from ,4the very ap pearance ol evil," tor vision eve to eye, and the lifting up together of the voice as a trumpet to declare to this nation its sin, and to wiran the wicked froin their keepers, who accidentally 'happend to be , on the spot, was noticed to c-ist sundrv doubtful glances upon the stranger, and as he drew near and -eras darteng rapidly tnrougu. ne caueu out : 44 Here stop tay. mv friend who ' are you, and where arc you going? ror neaven s sane don't sto: me I . . cried tne tar, 'the sloop's off, and if, f don't bear a hand, 1 shall fail astern, of the lighter." , -to The keeper, supposing himreaUvv'i sailor, who had been passing thetn'that the stoop fiad been detained at thejwharf in examining the prison; and the surround ing works, wasblut to let hirttfpyocced, when anotner glance seemed to awake freslv-Saspicims.
