Rhode Island American And Gazette

Georgia policy towards the Indians illustrated.—The Savannah Georgian of 10th instant contains this pregnant paragraph:

"Speculation in Land Lottery chances is in full play. Speculators, we understand are buying from all who are weak enough to sell at prices from $10 and upwards each, and the lottery system advocates having in this lottery dispensed with the clause prohibiting a transfer there is nothing to prevent it. However, it is only an illustration of one of the many arguments used against the passage of the bill. It is from the prevalence of this gambling spirit, and for the sake of indulging it, and Georgia has placed herself in her present predicament towards the Union. The lands of the Indians, unconstitutionally appropriated by Georgia, are parcelled out into lots; and every one of the whole population, male and female, is entitled to a ticket, which must draw something, and which may draw a valuable tract.—The real operation of such a system, as will be seen by the paragraph quoted from the Georgian, is to give every inhabitant of the State a direct pecuniary interest in acts of rapacity and injustice.—N. Y. American.
