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.

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.

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.

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 • less one among the many evident signs of tie; rapidly approaching latter day glo y. 7 ° notli • ing hut the peculiar smiles of 1 leaven,can tie at tributed it* imparaltclled sueees*, vvhieli has | surpassed the most sanguine expectation*-of it* 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.

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:?.
