THE CITATION.
The Ncw-Ttork Commercial Advertiser of
the 4ih inst. contains the following language, in
relation lo the late citation from the Supreme
Court, nnd the proceedings of Cieorgia thereon.
After promptly deciding the question himself,
by staling that tho citation u prohibited the ex
ecution of a Cherokee illegally tried and con
• victed,” &c. the editor says : “ We arc very
glad that a question which is supposed to in
l volvc so much difficulty, has thus come at once
fairly before the court of dernier resort. If the
Governor of Georgia should see fit to "disobey
, the injunction, he would ho guilty of the crime
of murder unquestionably. Wo do not see
why the whole question of sovereignly, as the
Georgians call it, may not be argued upon U»c
facts picscnted in tills case/*
i The editor does not appear to have been sen
sible, when he made these remark*, that it was
much easier for him lo decide tho question,than
the Supremo Couit, —that hi-r “ gladness'* nt
its having “ come at once faily ho lore llie court
, of dernier resort,’* inighl be very suddenly de
stroyed,—-that ilic Governor of Georgia possibly
might not agree with him, altogether, on the nu
tine or construction of “the crime of mu.der,”-*
or that llie Georgians might not ho quite mo will
ing and anxious as himself, that “ the whole
! question of sovereignly” should 11 ho argued
, upon (lie facts presented in this case,” before a
tribunal having no sympathy with their sover :
oignty, or rignl to decide questions in which
it is involved.
As tho editor decided that the Governor isl
14 guilty ofthe crime of murder nuquesliona- I
| My,” it may he well for him to point out the an- j
i Ihority by which he «!i dl he t ied and executed, |
j together with the members of the Legislature, j
1 who, with very few exceptions, are all pnrticrps j
: crimihis in tho murder. However, a* ho, him- j
; self, has ul cudy tried and convicted the (iov- j
ernor, will ho he } leased to say when and where j
he shall he executed, provided no resistance is
made, und iu case there should bo resistance,
by what power his judgment shall he enforced 7
After inditing the remarks above quoted, (ho
edito l is not a little astonished to find that tl the
Gove nor of Geo'gia has tent a message to the
Legiblutu.c, declaring that he will disregard the
uutlio ilyof the United States Cove: mnent,
that the Lcgislulu c has passed a sciies of Lea-
Ronaldo resolution;!, audio izing the Gove nor ot
Geo gia to call out the forces of the State, to re
sist by amis, the Federal Government. The
c Lin (says he) i.; near at Land ; and it now ro
i mains to he seen whether the President of the
! Uuiied .States will perforin the high duly which
‘liivulwu u - on him*”
? Now, if the Editor ho not anxious to acceler
ate that crisis of winch he sj rak?, why does he
inis:e, resent (lie message of the Govnmor, and
t!ic rcs<)!ntions ofthe Lcgikjatu c, or desire that
the r.csidont hliould remit lo force, which is
evidently what he con si. Ins “the high duty
which devolves u, op him,” Noitliqr tho mes
sages or rcsoliitionj indicate a determination to |
dis egard the autlio.lly Oi resibt by a*m«. llie !
Uode-al Government; hut lo divrogaid that loose •
and lidiculous mandate of the Supreme Court,
winch lias no constituliona! authority lo mifitain
it, and which if submitted u», would at once de
stiny eve y vosligo of sovereignly in the State,
nnd subject it to the most humiliating and deg-a
dmg hiindagc. If tho State has not tho power
j tot y, convict, end punish offences committed
I , within itscorj orate limits, then it ha* no » ower
i or atilho ily wlmtevcr, and tho whole count.y is
1 at once unconditionally subjected lo one coimoli
, dated and unlimited Govoimuont.—Hapj ily for
i the Slates nnd so the Union, —which can only be
prerso ved by keeping tho power and nuthonlyof
each within their pro. er hounds, —the President
has a g cater regard for both, than would seem to
i be cherished by one. who would have him do that
’ which alone, wc believe, can ever sever the
Union*—to exercise, the power and the means con
* ti ihuted by the State;;, lo reduce those Slates to
subjection to a Government r.: rated by them, fi»r
Ibeir beuefft, safely, and protection, and not to
' fit i,- them of all power, and reduce them to ah
solute dependence. Lot this ho done, and
i the Union will he at once and fo.evcr des
. t oyed, as ce.ttinly as tTi.it ft ennui will ne
ver ho hound lo any laws, or any G..vo n
incut, by roue*:! A Government of f.ee
rncu mini he one founded, not on fnrr*, but on
the affections and interests of the people.
Whenever the just l:uv« gs ‘jucli a Gove mncnl
a e violated, o the Govc.nnn ut ilw If is unjustly
resiirted, the owe of public opinion will always
he found sufficient, us it always has been, to cor
•cct MiicH evils. lint the power of truth and
justice is mighty —Ai.jiii.iUY!— mightier than all
1 laws and uh governments that oppose it. Il ap
peals i e.-si'liidy to the ff st and limit powerful of
all l aws, \v i’.leti on the hcaitfi of ovo-y human
( being; and or late , it will ovc-eome all
so ce, laowever gro it, that may be b‘ought a
gainslit. Tne feelings and juinci, les ofiuh lii
2cnl freemen will not tolerate lo.ee ; and to cn
i »
: sure the operation of just laws, there lanoncee?-
. s:ty for it.
1 J
[ Il is no aigumcnl ng.ainst this, tluit no
law can he made to please every one. No.
I Pro. t. ami s.ilula.y Uws wiii always obtain the
«a. o iofa la go majority ; and that, confident
. in l-uih and right, will soon frown into silence,
the minimirs of the deluded, or
. miprmci-dcd tew. And every citizen, however
ho may dislike and rog et a law which crates
somewhat injiiiioualy on himself and a few oth
, e.s, when lie finds, on examination, that it lacili
lales llie welfare ofthe many, was j assud with
I ro. e authoiity, and is wistained by tmlli and
. lienee, iie iyill not licaitalc lo yield Ins private
. interests und wishes to the public good, and will
i feel apatiiotic pndo in doing so p oniptly and
; dice fully ; or, if lie Is otherwise disposed, Im
, will submit from ne.c£Bsity, seeing she utter
, hopelessness and folly i>f contending against u
just and powerful cause*' —let the law bo
otherwise, under such circumstances—plainly
UHconstilutional, unequal, inexpedient, or op
pressive,—or its constitutionality, justice, equal
ity, expediency, or oppression, merely doubt
bil, or questionable. Will ho then quietly
submit—contentedly or otherwise? No. A
sense of justice will urge upon his mind, that
laws of doubtful authority, justice, equali
ty* ° r expediency, are not propci ly the laws
of freemen—und that such never should
ho, and never ran he, enforced. With conscious
right on his side, he will fear no opposition, how
ever extensive—no power however great,
(rive lorn but reason for his guide, tmlh lor his
buckler, and justice to his cause, and ho will
fear nothing, dare everything. Isa government
of freemen would enforce a law, it must not he
one of doubtful character—and no other will
o\cr need to ho enforced—and to attempt to en
force such a one, would either inevitably destroy
the government itself, or the entire liberties of
the poo; Ic. A government that relics on any oili
er force than that of j uhlic e. inion, to sustain it
and it« laws, cannot he essentially a flej uhli
enn one. The just laws of a Republican go
vernment, can have no bettor or stronger sup
port, ihm that of tho people, who established
that government, and who can have no wish lo
op ; ose it, so long as it answers tho wise purpo
ses for which it was c;eated.
X»ul there is no • reliability that the mandate iu
question will ho attempted to ho enforced. As
wr have already observed, hap ily fir the States
and the I nion, wc have a P.esident too sensible
| of, and devoted to, the just rights of each, & of
I the people, to attempt a violation ofeithcr; and ou
| llie main principle of this question, he has nhoa
idy declared in favor the State, lie says, in Ins
Message, “ Tor the justice ofthe laws passed by
i the Stales within tho scope of their reserved
j powers, they arc not responsible to this govn.n
--: ment. As individuals, wo may entertain and
’ express our opinions of their act?, but as a gov-
I eminent, wo have as little igln to control them,
as we have to prose ibe laws to fo* eign nations.”
And again, “No act ofthe General Government
has ever been deemed noceSHary to give the
States jm isdicrion over the pe sons of the Indi
ans. This they possess by \ \ luc of their Sove
reign power within thei own limits, in ns full a
mimne* before asaftc tho purchase ofthe Indi
an lauds; no can this government add lo or di
minish it.’* Can anything he rno o clca* ly right
und just than this? And is it to he sit posed
that a President actuated by such p im i; les,
will permit any force of the Teilcra! Government
to be exercised against that “jm isdiction ovc;
the persons of the Indians,” which is hero ko
rxiiiy 4ceViro«k, an l the o.itiviiou of ilio Su
premo Court goes to restrain? Certainly not.
How, then, will the Supreme Court, if it should
agree with the editor of the Crmiinorc-ial, carry
into effect it* verdict of “ murder ” ugahist M».
Gilmer and the Legislature ?
Rut the editor ofthe Commercial ridicules the i
| idea of anything like State Sovereignly, and |
j abuses the President not n little, f>; recognizing j
j it. lie nys, 11 T!ii;i doctrine of State Sore I
| reign tiff* as now execised at the South, i.; the I
; greatest aosudity in the world. No doubt the \
j States a o s.’/rcrei*rn t ffj. certain limited and s; c- |
ciffe pn and:io U cvc*y county, und eve- |
ry town, in every State. A town, in its furs*
reign capicitij , ha* a right to o j rn a road, or
build a bridge. And tile Hoard of Stipe; viso s
of the respective counties, have certain rights,
which they may claim the sovereign power to j
execute. Provided, nevertheless, that they do |
not rim counter to the laws of the State, oi
the ptill login* laws of the United State*.
. Towns and counties, therefore, are just a* much
4i sovereign powers,” in their relation* with
their respective Slate Government*, a* the |
States are in respect of the Union, while tho
federal bond remains Ufilcoken.” This is a !
most precious specimen of the old nil a TVHwal- ,
ism, winch went down ft u time with the ti si !
Adams, & then again with the second.—ls il that <
the edito* really does not know anything ofthe i
original and uny added rights of the States,»»; that i
lie wilfully date-mines not to ecognizo them ? 1

Dmr Fir: —l am delighted lo inform you, that
‘ ] in this village, Wc have now in operation, two
• j School*, which wo vesture to assert, with per
■ j feet confidence, will compare with tho best l»i
--j Filiations of the kind, iti’any pat ofthe I nion,
1 j When wc say this, wo are well apprized that
1 j you have, ac wo have been informed, a good
• | school iu your city; nnd we also know, and real
I ; izo the fact with-unbuimdcd pleasure, that our
i ; Schools, l>otl» in Georgia and in South-Carolina,
! have within a few rears hack, increased in Hum
• her, and in the skill and ability with which they
i are conducted, to a degree quite beyond our
) most lively hope®. 'Dus augurs well for the
prevalence of solid information, the existence of «
virtue, ami ol course the durability of our derno- i
cralic institutions. I would to God, other ;
(sectional) considerations did not blight, in i
some degree, tins pleasing, delightful hope, j
But I intended to fell you, for the good oi* all
concerned, and tlfuso whose ti no interests it j
may ho, to he concerned, n little about our i
Schools. The Male Academy is superintended «
by Mr. Stafford, a graduate of our College, and «
whose reputation, ns a constantly successful i
teacher, has made itself known to all pa: is of t
this Slate. Ho has presided in this Academy ]
for two years, nnd with what success, let those 1
persons say, who have had students with him, or i
have closely examined his student*. He teach- |
cs the classics, in constant reference to an uc- ]
comprnyiug,nn«l I believe I may say, a thorough, >
knowledge, not only of grammar, and pars- i
ing, but of piosody and pronunciation, and of ,
tho history, biography, geography, nnd mytliol- i
ogy, ro intimately connected with the classics, ,
No hoy is snffo:cd to progress, without being a
ble promptly to answer any material question in (
connection with this course of study. I attend- ,
od Mr. Stafford’s examination last mouth, and (
beside the Languages and other branches, I was
highly gratified with the knowledge the students
exhibited in Mathematics , generally taught in our
School*, too superficially. They worn not allow
ed, with diagrams ready drawn out,to mu over ,
the demonstrations of their propositions by ro/r, ,
hut the questions were propounded lo them ■
without the slightest preconcert. The boys were l
•e Hired at the black hoard, to draw out their
diagrams, to use n vulgar phrase, “from the. ,
stump,'* nnd to demonstrate, by change of signs
o; letters, and in various ways, so that it was
clear to the merest tyro iu the science, (hat each j
really understood,as well the propositions,as the .
demonstrations pot tabling to them. lam thus .
particular in speaking of Mr. Stafford’s manner
of teaching this science, because I have, with j
pain, seen hundred* pass through the farms of ]
education, with but little real knowledge of
Mathematics.
Mr. Stafford is now nssi*tcd by Mr. Mills,
another graduate of our College, fiom whom,
taking into view tho distinguished station lie
occti icd iu his class, we have vc;y high hopes.
Our Female Academy has but just opened,
with between thirty and forty student*, having
ample accommodations for as many more. Wc
Cannot of course, speak with so intimate a know
ledge of the administrat ion of it, ns ycl / hut wo j,
can with truth say that we have, for many years, 11
hc-cn acquainted with the Rev. W. I>. Johnson*, 1
the ghipormtcudcnf,—indeed Home ofua have had i
daughter undor his d,uirgr, nt his schools in Uo
himlnft, ond Greenville; and Torn those facts, !
and what wc know of hi* School, wo do not
believe, that young Ladies ran any trhrrc, ho
more thoroughly taught in all tho useful hi audios
of nu education. Those who have examined
students taught by Mr. Johnson, can attest ilio •
| thorough manner in which he drills and disdp
i linos them, from tho very elements of learning,
I toils more advanced singes; nnd what patience,
j and pains 100, ho uses to make girls vnlatrn ,

Dear Friimi/.- —Vonr ve.y acceptable letter
came duly to hand. I notice, with much j leasii.e
the interest you have taken, and the success
which has crowned your oxc.tiou* in tl»eTem
peram-o cause. It is a gloiion*cause, and douht

1 wa;Diest friends. In all paita of ihe Union in
temperance is rapidly giving way before the ir
leHi.xlihlo force of public opinion, which ban been
brought to hear again t that duefu! evil.—
Rut notwithstanding its Falutury mffuence
h i* been dourly and undeniably manifested, yet j
• still there arc inupy moral ami good men, who •
i on Uiis mipoitant subjgct, manifest a great and j
criminal indifference. Many, in moat places
which 1 have visited, and I nm sorry to add, not
a Jew professors of religion, arc refusing to unite
with these societies, nnd giving va ious reasons
for hanging hack; none of which it is presumed,
will stand the scrutiny of that being who look*
on the heart. Every person has some influ once,
and is morally hound to cxc;t that influence in
doing good. U’lio ran daily that temperance
societies have done and arc doing good ? Who
that has attended lo the subject, docs not know
that they lend to lessen crime, diminish the num
ber of suffering poor, increase the domestic
happiness of many families, save many f om an
untimely grave. & exert a valuable influence on
the rising generation, and in favor of civil liberty.
Every person who declines acting with those
societies, to say tho least, exerts no influence in
favor ofthe cause, and not unfcqucnlly a j ow
etPul one against it. All, the etbre, who desire
the suppression of vice, und the promotion of
vi tuc, should unite, (for union is strength) in
llie honorable and important crusade against that
deadly foe to human happiness. You mentioned
the opposition of Deacon 11. and its inju ious
effect. Il is wonderful what a baleful influence
such persons are capable of exerting. A painful
Instance came under my own observation.—
About eighteen months rince, a Temperance
Society was formed in a certain village where
there had for many years been a congregational
Church of f.om two to three hutidicd nembe s.
The Minister, who had long been tbc-ir watch
man, nnd was greatly beloved, unde.took neu
tral ground, and of course hung heavily on the
f tends of flic cause. The three Deacons came
out m open opposition, ami flic consequence
war, that at first but 10 or and at length with
much exertion,but CO members could be obtained.
Two o. three gentlemen,who felt a deep interest
in the success ofthe war urged against the boast
in that place, presented the constitution lo many
individuals in different part* of the society, but
non. lyoveiy person whom they approached had
around him the Deacons & Minister for a shield,
which effectually warded off every blow that
could ho given. As might have been predicted,
they suddenly became very popular with all the
drunkards, tipplers,dram and medicine drinkers,
nnd that class of community who make it their .
business 1) oppose everything that is good.
From fuc!) popularity may heaven deliver u*.
It i* painful to poo any person opposing the
temperance cause; and doubly so when that
opposition come* f.om pretended ffdlowc-s of
Christ, especially if they arc office, sin the church.
In view of the conduct of such characters, wo
may well oxclv.m, what ! oppose a society
which i* cutting away the most powe ful en
gine that was ovo- Ciopted against the walls of
ziou I which i* purifying the chu-ch, and pre
paring the way for the nio-o general l inmj h of
tho gospel—which will newly empty onr poor
house* and pi Ison.*, and relievo the distressing
poverty of many thousand families—'which i*
rolling bar k, \ r . itli a mighty hand, the desolating
tido of iniquity that tli'calencd lo sweep over
this happy land—which tend* lo banish from our
country the master sin that will ear.y off in it*
bain, nearly n’H the da»k catalogue of mimes
which blacken the page of histo y—which is
pai/.ying the a:rn of that disposing angel that
ha* long been passing th ough our land, and
yen.ly consigning thousand! lo an imtim* ly
grave—which tends lo destroy a master that
for ages after ages has been enlisting a inies af
ter airule*, and m:i idling them, vear alter vear,
into tin* wo. Id of wee, to pilch an eternal bailie
with tiro wo.in that nevordic*. Almost.as soon
would I see a fiend of mine, borne away and
entombed in yonder solemn g omul, a* to come
past in open violent opposition against those
heaven-blessed socirtio:?. I should ex ect Hint
the see el reason of that opposition,-rxistod whc„e
il almost inv.i, iahly doe*, in the love of strong
d ink. I should ex; ect me long, to see him
rising early to grasp with a trembling hand the 1
inehraling nip,and \\ if Vi redness of cycß, tarrying I
long at tier wine p c;:*. I should tear soon to!
behold the signs of :nin tiii<’kening moimd him,
and one moral harrier after another giving
way, till by rapid t ansitionslm had descended*
step by slop, lo the level of human h ntes, and
hanging with them around the Finksofvlee, and
plunging wit!) unblinking boldness some ime to
••rime, till borne away by that devolving demon
into the burning region* of unending llii.st.
