manifested by the enemies of republican go-|

the speedy downfall of ours. The1: virtue!
and intelligence of the people, co-operating!
with tlie mhe lent excellence of our political I
Institutions, averted the danger, and pre-l
served the union. Three entireadministra-l
tions have since intervened, without rvsort-1
log either to the scttud or threaten* exer-l
else of force, to sustain the authority of law. I
During a portion of this period, oar country!
was involved in a sanguinary war with onel
of the mot powerful nations of Europe. Inl
its progress, when unlooked for calamhyl
filled the timomis with apprehension, anal
muKcd the patriot to redou'defd exertion, al
spirit of iusulsmdluation was manifested inl
an important portion of the union. A crisis!
occurred more interesting than any other inl
the history of our confederacy, ana there np-l
peared reason to apprehend that the horrors I
of <| civil, might lie superadded to the cali-l
mities oi a foreign war. If evidence were I
wanting to show the profound and Intimate!
knowledge of the nature and tendency of ourl
political system, possessed by the statesmen!
wli?? then presided over the republic, it ws*l
at that time strikingly exhibited; and if any I
thing ronid add to the debt of gratitude
wnkh the country owes to this illustrious
patriot, it is his conduct on that occasion.
Had threats of military coercion been used,
the pmbattditv of its application wouid have
been incrcased, and under the txcitcmeut
which prevailed, the eomm> ncemer' of hos
tilities between the federal and state ><utho
rities might have terminated our existence
ms a free and united people. No menac:
iwa* employed. No tin-eat of military coer
cion fulminated. The movetnentsot those to
whom disaffection was attributed, were oh
seived with cure, n d silent preparations
were niudc to enable the government to net
with effect, should the Application of force
becOtQv una\ nidable. The threatened coll.
sion between the federal and state authori
ties was fortunately avoided. The conduct
ot the p^uties was sUt.m.tud to the judgment
<>f the American people. The sentence
which tliev prou iunccd was just, and it will
remain irrevocable. Public opinion per
formed its office, and our republican institu
tion* *p>v from the shock aitli renewed lus
tre and increased stability. The honest ap
prehensions of those who li'Hl he I on! doubicu
their capacity to sustain the pressure of dan
ger and the conflict of war, were dispelled,
and ali the lr.>j>CM which were louudcd on the
anticipated dissolution of our confederacy
were destroyed.
Such were the legitimate fruits of th?
wisdom, modulation ami firintiesn, whir it
were then displayed; and, while they retrace
the history of that period, the committee ,ve
encouraged to hope that similar wisdom nod
nt'tdcration will lend to similar results.
They would he unwilling to give their sanc
tion to different measures, on any occasion
of apprehended collision between the fede
ral government and ?me of its members, hut
more especially in a ease so essentially dif
ferent in principle and character, front that
with which it has been comp.ircdf as the
present. I* admitted to he. It is fur from
their des'tre to interfere with those duties
which lias been confided to the executive,
and which, they doubt not, wtU !??? di si.-1 tarr
ed with ability and *ral; but it becomes
their duty to express their opinion, that there
appears to be no ground to apprehend the
necessity of appealing to miliary force, for
the purport of enforcing the laws uitliiiv tin
state of Georgia, and that they cannot concur
in the
or of
an lasu
which every gotrt citizen should enUttVcr to
avert.
The cnirtnittee n?* deemed It nccce
sary to advert various other subjects embra
ced In the report and resolution* referred to
thc*.n, Soino of tfteni involve questions
rvhich cannot properly originate in this
branch of the national legislature; ami they
do not perceive the necessity or propriety of
entering into nn examination of the remain
der, while the principal question -which
belongs to til's controversy Is in a course of
judicial inquiry.
The committee? rely with coufldence, on
the justice, ui?d the n*trl??tism of the autho
rities of the United mates and of Georgia, in
expressing their tonvietions, that no such
unhappy consequcnees as arc apprehended,
can result from the present controversy.
; They rely on the instructions and efforts of
> the war department, .md on the declaration*
made to the senate, during the discussion of
, the treaty at Washington, by one of its mem
; hers, (of the repeatedly expressed willing
' ness of the Creek Chiefs to relinquish any
little remnant of land within the limits of
Georgia, which, on running the lines of that
treaty, might bo found to be excluded) for
the assurance, that this whole controversy
nwy be juecdllr Krijmtod by obtaining the do
alred rfilnfjuisnment.
They, therefore, recommend tho adoption
of the follow lo* r<?*.lotion i?
