He Ims itiJerposofi between tiiem 1 and the object of their strongest aspirations, he has snatched from them the prize for which they gave up principle and patriotism, the hope <<l honest fame, the praise of the virtuous, and the treasure of self approbation, for which they deserted their friends,courted their enemies bioke old friendships, and formed incongruous alii.iuces. But the lovers of freedom and equal i ighis—those who anxiously desirous of a reform tn the administration of our government —who ong for uu economical disbursement of the pub lic funds, and the safety of onr constitution, so as to preserve state rights, and at the same time maintain the “Federal Union,** in its strength, look upon the President as the man, who un der Heaven can safely steer the vessel of State through the danger that now besets it. His un bending patriotism no honest man doubts. His jgroatness of mind has been exhibited in a suc cession of splendid achievements as have not graced the career of any other of our States men. His annual messages, vet es, and proc 'Tamalioit, are becoming national expositions of the principles of our constitution; and have elevated him higher in the esteem and admira tion of wise and good men, than even bis noble Lucrificcs in (he field, and gloiious victories. Can the brave republicans of Kentucky be induced to give their weight and influence against I biich an old chief, who has truly represented [ (heir principles and vindicated their interests. 1 Tim approaching Congressional election will I enable them to join their voices with the thou- I sands who clm.-r the decided part he took ' against nullification, in favor of a judicious tariff, a revenue standard based upon an economical expenditure and support him in these critical limes. Bad men inagine they have bound the free men of Kentucky in chains by their most ini- 1 cpiitions and insulting division of the state into j congressional districts for private and individ-! ual convenience.

The “Courier”— Union, and the “Mer cury,” Nullification, have lately “reasoned high” upon those “high matters,” of citizen ship, sovereignty, allegiance, unity of the na tion, &c. &c.

Lastly, what did John C.

CIIEROIEE subject. j We me indebted to the honorable James M. Wayne tin the hand-bill containing the following correspondence. — Intelligencer Executive Department, G.\. Milledgeville, May 14, 1833. • Tn order to correct virimis misrepresenta tions, circulated through the press and • 'er channels, I have to request newspaper Edinrs, friendly to ’be great interest of the country, am especially* that of Georgia, to publish <he fol lowing correspondence. WILSON LUMPKIN. Executive Department, Ga. Milledgeville, April 26,1833. lion. Lewis Cass, Secretary of J Fur. Sir —A few days ago, I addressed a letter to the F resident of the United States, on the sub ject of our Indian relations, which I requested, might be submitted to you. In connection widi the same subject, I here with enclose you a copy, ofthe copy,of a letter, received by me a few days ago by a respectable gentleman, who resides in the neighborhood of John Ross. That gentleman, with various oth ers, inform me, that Ross is exhibiting this in discrete letter, and impressing the ignorant In dians and Indian countrymen, with the belief, 4iat he is authorized io say, from the authority of the War Department, that in a short time, all the Georgia settlers, who have settled under the authoiity of the laws of Georgia, will be driven from their homes by the United State’s Army. There may be some exaggeration in these statements ; but I am forced to the con clusion, from what I have heard, and from the reading of this imprudent letter, that great ef forts are making in that country to mislead, and delude the unfortunate Cherokees. I do not hesitate in my reply, to such com munications, to assure the people of that coun , try, that no change has taken place in the views , ofthe Federal Executive, and that the India®-, i so long as they choose to remain in . must yield implicit obedience to the jol the laws of the State. And that no power i of the Federal Government, will ever be exert ed to remove the inhabitants, who have settled under the authority of the State, &c. &c. 1 am engaged in using all the means in my pow er, to counteract the mischievous influence, of | the enemies of good order in this half settled i country. I But I consider it highly important, that you j should with all possible dispatch, make such a ! communication to the Cherokees, as shall put ! an end to all false stoties of the character point ,ed out. Such a communication should be publicly and authentically made to the whole people, who may assemble at their council on the 14. h of next month. It is submitted to your consideration, whether a communication ; from you or the President ofthe United States : himself, might not be made through me to the Cherokees most effectually. At any rate, please to let me hear from you immediately on this subject, for I deem it indispensable, at their aproaching council, by some means, to remove the idle delusion into which these people are led, by the exertions of bad men. If the I copy of the letter which I enclose you, be not ' a forgery, it deserves strong reprehension. Such productions, from such a quarter, are most inischievious. With great respect, your obedient servant, WILSON LUMPKIN. Department or War. Office Indian Affairs, March, 14, 1832. Sir Your letter ofthe Bth mst. addressed I to the Secretary of War on the subject of in- < trusion on Cherokee land by white citizens, I has been referred to this office for reply. | It cannot be dented, that your complaints are t well founded, and your people have sustained i injuries from the rapacity and lawless conduct I ol our citizens. It is however in some degree \ an unavoidable evil incident to the present con- t dition of your tribe, and no blame is fairly attri- | Imtable to tho Department on that account. 1 ft is due to the Secretary of War, to say that t as soon as he received notice of intruders bav- t ing presented themselves on your land, he gave t oiders for their expulsion. These orders will t now be repeated, and a military force will « forthwith be sent to the assailed parts of your i country, for the purpose of expelling and keep- ’ ing off intruders. An order will also be giv- t en to the District Attorney of the United States i to prosecute for trespass, all such as may dare i to return after their expulsion,. You cannot < consider it a misplaced assurance and it is made < with the utmost sincerity, that the Departmem < cherishes deep solicitude for the welfare of your I Nation, and wilt to the extent of its powers, i endeavor to promote it. With high respect, I your humble servant, ELBERT HERRING. Messrs. John Russ, and others, Cherokee ‘ j Delegates. Departml r or War. May 2, 1833. Sir —l had the honor to receive yoyr letter | of the 26tlt tilt. together with the copy of one . from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,dated March 14th, and addressed to some of the I 1 principal men among the Cherokees. Before the receipt of your letter, application had been made Ly some of the Cherokees, to , know whether any change had taken place in i the opinions of the President, respecting the 'constitutional right ofthe Executive to remove 1 persons from land, claimed by the Indians, where the laws of the State had been extended over such land. They stated, that they made ; the inquiry, because some of their people had I taken up such an impression, founded on the ! t above letter of ‘.he Commissioner. Immediate I measures were taken to correct this misappre hension. ami explanatory letters, copies of which. I have the honor to enclose, were writ ten, ami despatched to Col. Montgomery, the Cherokee Agent, M «jor Curry, the special Agent, for emigration, and to the Cherokee persons, who sought the information. These j letters will undoubtedly remove any errors which may have prevailed, and will show that the opinions of the President, are uncham'ed Very respectfully, I have the honor to be* your obedient seivant, LEWIS CASS. His Excellency Wilson Lumpkin, AHUcdse. ville, Ga. b Department of War, Off.cc. Indian Affairs, May 1, 1833. Sir —ln consequence of an upplica’iou from several ofthe Cherokees, I have been instruct ed by the Secretary of War, to call y our at _ 'ention to my letter to you of March loth, 1833 and to say 10 you that the provisions of that letter relate solely to those portions ofthe Cherokee ernntry, within the States of Ten nessee and North Carolina, and over which (he laws of those States have not been extend ed. The views ofthe President upon this sub ject have been too often and too publicly ex pressed, to leave any doubt of the course which in his opinion, should bn pursued. And this explanation would have been considered unne cessary, had not some of the Cherokees, inti mated different views. The President yet thinks, as, he has always thought, the Execu tive has no constitutional right to apply milita ry force to remove persons from any part of the States of Georgia or Alabama. . 1 am sir, very respectfully, your obedient Jfrvant, ELBERT HERRING. ’ll. Montgomery. Department of War, Office Indian Affairs, May 1, 1833. Sir —Enclosed 1 transmit you copies of two letters ol this date, one addressed to the Agent Col. Montgomery, and the other to several of the Cherokees. You will see by these letters that some misapprehension has existed, or has been affected, respecting the purport of an or der sent by the office to Col. Montgomery on the 15th March last for the removal of intru ders from the Cherokee country. That order is intended to operate only upon the Cerokee Lmds within the States of North Carolina and Tennessee, over which the State laws have not been extended. The views of the Executive on this subject, have been so well known, that it was not supposed that any mistake could a rise. If however any has arisen it will be cleared up by these instructions. lam direct- ; ed to communicate these facts to you, that you I may be aware of the precise views of the Prest- 1 dent, and that you may correct any erroneous j impressions which may have been made, and which may have a tendency to prevent a favor able decision by the Cherokee council, which is about to convene. Very respeciully, your obedient servant, ELBERT HERRING. Hciij. F. Curry, Esq. Department of War, Office Indian Affairs, May 1, 1833. Gentlemen— l have been directed by the Secretary of War to acknowledge the receipt of your letter to him of April sth, and to in form you that no change whatever has taken place tn the opinions ofthe President so often expressed to your people, and so clearly stated in the letters to which you allude from me War Department of Februaty 2d and 20m, 1833, as well as in previous communications respecung ilte constitutional right of the Executive to ap ply milli>aiy force, to the removal of persons from any part ofthe Indian country over winch the laws ol the proper Slates have been ex tended. My letters to Mr. Ross and others of the 14th March, and to Col. Montgomery of the 15th of March, were intended to relate solely to that part of the Cherokee country ly ing within the S ates of North Carolina and Tennessee, and over which these States have not extended their jurisdiction. Ttte whole views of the Executive, were so well known to your people, that it was not supposed th it any misapprehension on this subject, cou,d have existed. And I am directed to state to you clearly, that the opinions of the P.esidem, heretofore expressed, are unchanged, and that no interference with the laws of the respective States on this subject, must be expected.- These views have been communicated to Col. Montgomery, though they cannot be necessary for his action in the matter. And lam in structed further to express to you the opinion of the President, that the immediate removal of your people, in conformity with the very li beral terms held out to them, offers the only prospect of their permanent and prosperous es tablishment. Very respectfully, I am, gentlemen, your obedient seivant, ELBERT HERRING. John Ridge, Esq. and others, Head of Coo- I sa. CHEROKEE, Saturday, May 25, 1833. f t iz , i ! ’*».
