f LAW INTELLIGENCE. The L\ Suites rx rclat. R. C. Geycr,, is. | 1 Thos, D. Condi/y Marshal. |J Motion for a prohibition to the Mirhal to j restrain iiim from proceeding under an < execution issued for a fine arising under the Act of Congress of 2Sth February, , 1705, entitled an Act to provide for calling ( forth the Militia to execute the Jaws of tlie j I'nion, suppress insurrections and repel in- j . vasious. Tito Relator Jias suggested manv 11 " I grounds, wluch are strong, and may be i ' tenable; but, as some of them relate ex- ! .clusively to bis case, and will not settle the questions wliicli may be made in a number of other case?, 1 have thought if better to ! ' decide it on a ground which will embrace i. all the cases. j The Constitution ol* the linted States, ! . in can nit-rating the powers of Congress, in i in the O.h section of the 1st Article, declares? M That Congress shall have power to ]j provide for calling forth the Militia to exe- , ' cute the laws of the I'nion, supprt ss liisur- !, rcctions and repel invasions." This is the ' ^ ^nlv- mitltnrif v ulnVii ( \ imrit'SS DOSSCSS 1? >r ! calling ibrtli the Militia of the respective , States, and this authority must bo exercised i ' in strict conformity with the above provi. I sion of the Constitution. In pursuance of1 this Section ol" the Constitution, Congress,; < on 28.li February, 1793, passed an Act to ;; provide for calling forth the Militia to exc- I cute the laws of the Union, suppress insur-' roctions and repel invasions. Tlie lirst! section ol* that Act declares? I And in case of an insurrection in any , State, against the Government thereof, it shall be lawful for the President cfthe Uni- j ted States, on applieaton of the Legislature : of such State, or the Executive, when the i Legislature cannot Ik- convened, to call 1 forth such num!)cr of the Militia of any \ ^ other State or States, as may be applied for, j( ? or as he may judge sufficient to suppress j, .such insurrection. A like provision is made ], by the Act for calling forth the Militia, in ; j c isc of the invasion of a State, or an oppo- ; i eihon to the laws of the United States. 1? It then evidently apjiears that the only ; i three cases in which the Militia can ha call- j \ ed forth by the President of the United j | States, are, an invasion of a State, an insur- \ rectiou in a State, or an opposition in any ! State to the laws of the United States. It is known to us all. that an insurrection , of the Indians in Florida made it the duty ' r of the President of the United States to cull l forth from South-Carolina, (an adjacent t Stale such a portion of the Militia as he t thought necessary to suppress the iusurrec- . [ tion which had taken plaee then?. This j cull upon Carolina was a legitimate one? it was in accordance with the Constitution, a and promptly and patriotically obeyed. i r Was the Relator one of those drafted (t from the Militia, or calied forth to suppress j the insurrection in Florida ? It is not pre- 1 tended that he was : It is admitted that he ! was summoned, not to go to Florida to 1 j suppress the insurrection there, hut to gar- j j rison Forts in the harborof Charleston. It s -i i i : ...i. .1. i men uccomes necessary lociKpun*., wneui- ; er he, as a Militia man, was called forth j under the Constitution of the United States, j ; or the Act passed in conformity thereto, to t perform any of the du'ies require J by that! Act. | Were the laws of the United States op- ' 1 posed in Carolina? No. Then was it * unneeessary for the United States to garri- } r son Fort Moultrie with Militia. Was the ! t State of South-Carolina invaded ? This is 1 not pretended. Then was it unneeessary to J garrison Fort Moultrie with Militia. Was j j there any insurrection in Carolina ! There ^ was not. Then, I rejKtat, it was uiineccs- j a sary to eall forth the Militia to garrison 1} Fort Moultrie. } v If, then, there was iv> opposition to the r United Suites in Carolina?if the State * was neither invaded or in imminent danger J of invasion, is it palpable that obedience to j the summons served on the Relator to garrison Fort Moultrie, in South-Carolina, J cannot be enforced, constitutionally, bv any j of the sanctions imposed by the Act of j February, 1795, already recited. If the President of the United States has the power to call forth the Militia to garrison ; t the Forts of a State, which is not invaded,! * or threatened with invasion, in which there jx is no insurrection, or opposition to the ja laws of the United States, then has he the j ^ power to call forth the Militia of South-Car- : s olinato garrison the Forts in New-York or t Massachusetts, where no insurrection, in- | s vasion or onnosition to the laws of theiT 1 1 United States exist. But, it is due to the | President of the United States, to say, that ? he gave no orders to garrison Fort Moul- : jt' trie with Militia. Sworn, as I am, to sup- ! jj port the Cons'itufion of the United States, I am bound to decide, that neither the Con- j sritution nor the Act of 171)5, required any j such service as the Relator lias been called j I on to perforin. This case has been very j ably argued by Mr. Thompson, for the Re- ! ? la tor, and the District Attorney, for the i s I nited States. Let the prohibition go. j 1 THOS.

Robertson had reported to 1 General Gaines that twoinen had been re- jj :cntly killed, and another wounded, on the ;lf waters of the Navasota, in Robertson's colony lbout twenty niilcs west of Nacogdoches, by 0l] he Indians of several different tribes, (Cad- an Iocs, Kitchies, and others,) who had taken ,u ind carried away several women and cliildren }ia )f the families of the men killed. wj "General Gaines, considering that these >.<* ecent acts of hostility on the part of the In- j0 iians were prompted by their having been ; ^ ldvised of the large force approaching Meta- ] noras, and by the expectation that the Tex- ; ans would be driven off, and the country giv- ' be m up to them, has called upon the Governors r th )f Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and j Inj Louisiana, each for a regiment of mounted ' gunmen to co-o}?erate with the regular force ! inder his command, including the four coinpa- by lies of dragoons from Fort Leav enworth. in " It was his intention, if he did not in the in- 0u erim receive satisfactory assurances that the m( Indians upon our borders had no hand in the late murders on the Navasota, to inarch to un Vacogdoches as soon as he obtained the im- St nediate co-operation ol tJic three companies wl >f dragoons and six companies cf the 7th inantry at Fort Towson." NORTH WEST BORDER. W( Xeir Orleans, July 14.?By the special or- a ^ ?rs of the President of the United States, it ap- C(j ?ars that Major Gen. Gaines, requires of the fate of Louisiana, ten companies of mounted rn .usket men, to serve six months from the day an toy arrive at the Sabine, the place of rendez- lie >us. This requisition is undoubtedly made m, r tiie protection of our frontiers from Indian cursions, the Cuinanches and some other ibes having already manifested some hustile ^ clings towards the whites, in the neighboured of the frontiers. In fact we deem it by no . cans improbable, that for a long time, the ele- ^ ents of a general Indian war have beengath- (_q ing along our extended Western boundary si1( 10, soon to burst, if not checked by the timely int 'tion of Government, upon our unprotected wi tizons aloiur the line. ' Tc It js also too much to be feared, that there an too much truth in the report from Wisconsin, tlx tat the celebrated Black Hawk is at the head Paj ' a large body of Indians, about 6000 and sa' Arching with them against the white settleonts. The circumstance that he will be aw- jvj1 1, from having personally noticed our power, j ' that the treatment which he received in our j luntrr, will dissuade him from any such at- ' atj( inpt, afford but feeble guarantees against the i ^.()l ood thirsty and revengeful disposition of the j 0f id warrior toward the pale faces. * [ wi tu< . 1 C.i Intrrj>id Conduct.?A few days since, as the : al< irriage of Mr. Samuel Eckstein, paper maker lo as returning from Maynayunk, containing I [rs.
