1. Suppose we have gained nothing. Ought

rifices for the accomplishment of an important
object, without the certainty of success? Or,
, when we have done it, and failed, arc we there
,fore to wish we bad not done it? No. If we
. Jiave gained nothing else, we have at least
' a i /•
,-gained a very cheerful testimony of our con-
that we have done lokut we could, for
the prevention of injustice, oppression and rob
beryq ami the preservation of the national
.2- Zs we have not gained, we have at least i
not lost the p/ivilege of laboring among the i
’’Cherokoos io the work of the gospel.'
3. .IV h have gained in behalf of the Chero
kees, a decision of the Snpi cine Court, which
although it does not avail for the protection of
their present rights, may nevertheless have ve

We glfiaJv rejoi,'e io it. And now that we are
free, it gives Us consolation to reflect that we
have not obtained <> ’ ir freedom by any aban
donment of principle, o." by ceasing to bear our
(CiJ/rnoijy against the h.J 'Wee of the measures

should not otherwise feel in making it now. ■
.Wn know not but we Khali ho considered at

of tht State of Geoiuia; but our own vindica

as they are in uur own view. The nature 6(

very plain We wish certainly to avoid op
probrious Linguage, but we cannot see why,
when we h ive |c|t ourselves called upon to op
prse a (orient of iniquity* we sbonld attempt to
gloss over that iniquity by giving it names too
smooth to express the truth. And we feel tin
wil.ling to retiie, fium the contest into which
we have been led, without giving our decided
against what it is impossible for us to
jjeeard in anv other light ili in INJUSTICE,
OPPRESSION AND ROBBERY. To

we.are conscious of no vindictive feelings. Zt
is our unceasing prayer that her transgressions
and (he transgresidons of our countrymen be

We me yours with much esteem and affec

•Wrought, perhaps, here to say, Mr. Wirt did not
give ns nnytuJ vice on the subject, preferring us lie smd,
to sustain to us simply the relation ot legal counsel.
WORCESTER AND BUTLER.
We cannot call these men, “the missiona
ries.” They have so much disgraced the sa
cred' profession, that we are unwilling to rank
them with such great and good men, as Carey,
Heber, and Hudson. They have brought dis
boner upon the cause of Hun, whom they pro
fess to follow, whose meek rule was “obedience
to dm powers that be,” who having “all power
in Heaven and on earth,” and being a Jew, was
not bound to piy tribute, still commanded Pe
ter to provide for its payment, that no offence
might be given to the J wish authorities. But |
wo will not “cast pearl before swttio”—nor at
tempt to lecture men more proper subjects for
the jurisdiction of Captain S/icfc Co. than
the Kingdom of the Pi iuce of Peace.
The whole drift of the loiter from these
men, which has been going the round of the
opposition p ipets, is to create two leading ini
piessions, both of which these men must know
to be false. Ist. That they were solicited in
directly by (he Governor to ask lor p u don. 2d.
That they were solicited by the Govcrnot’s
confidential liiends and others to ask for par
don. We shall, nt present, only notice the
first, us Col. Mills will in a few d tys give the
public a statement of the facts in relation to
both. It is manor of surprise that Worcester
and B iller should have had the hardihood to
publish uh.it they knew could he proved to be
false. We know that the Governor entertain- i
nd but one feeling and opinion upon ibis sub- I
viz: that while he legretud the bad con- (
duct of> those men and their confinement, he
was determined that they never should leave !
the W ills of the Penitentiary, till tin y had a
bi'idum.d all hope of protection from the So- 1
p.cme Court, and hid tlnown themselves up-,
on iho mercy of the State. 1! adhered most
rigorotoly to this rule, and had not Worcester
and Butler succumbed, they would still have
been inmates ol the State Prison.
Tin so men state in their lettet r< set icd to,
that they ‘'made no solicitation, no orci ture,
no compromise.” W e me enabled to give «

To His 1 EXCELLENCY WILSON LUMPKIN,
Governor of the State of Georgia.
Srtt— In reference to a notice given to your
Excellency on the 23ih of November last, by
our Counsel, in our behalf, of our intention to
move the Supreme Court of the United States,
on the 2d day of Februrry next, for further
process in the case between ourselves individual
ly, as plaintiffs in error, and the State of Geor
gia as defendant in error; we have now to in
form your Excellency, that we have this day
forwaided instructions to our counsel to for
bear the intended motion, and to prosecute the
case no farther. We beg leave respectfully to
sta'e to your Excellency, that we have not
been induced to the adoption of this measure
by any change of views in regaid to the princi
ples on which we have acted or by doubt of
the justice of our cause, oi of our perfect right
to a legal discharge in accordance with the deci
sion oi the Supreme Court in our favor already
given; but by the apprehension that die further
prosecution of the controversy, under existing
circumstances might be attended with cunsc-
. 7 o ......
quences injurious to our beloved country.
We uie respectfully,, yoms,
S. A. WORCESTER,
! Elizur Butler.
; They had the insolence to suppose that this
; letter would procure their release. That it
did not, is positive proof of the falsehood they I
at tempt to propagate against the Governor. !
Had he been so anxious for their release, he '
would have seized the first opportunity to par
don. But he consulted the honor and dignity
of the Slate; and m this view, that letter only
i caused him to adhere more closely to Ins fixed
determination to humble their wicked pride,
land redeem the sanctity of our laws. Finding
J - •
i that lheir impudence and temerity had carried
I them too far, and the Governor considered
I lllet letter an indignity offered to the State, in
I tho anxie.'y for the pardon, they desired tu
withdraw the letter, that it might be remedied 1
to suit the exigency of their case. But the i
| Governor understood them 100 well, and fore-!
saw that while they were suppliants for mercy, i
they wished io assume what they considered
•high ground. . Jiut Xheir pride, not being of
that i igh.eous kind whtc.h actuated Paul in pi ison l
was soon abased. The Governor retained tins ’
letter, as well as the subsequent one, that the :
i records of the Executive Department might i
•shew to his successors and posterity, that these I
.Midaciou politic al tools were compelled to bow
I bl ./ore the laws and the righ's ofthe State.—

PENITENTIARY,
, Milledgeville, January f 1883.
To His Excela-eacy Wilson Lumpkin,
Governor if the State of Georgia.
S ni We tire sorry *0 be informed that some
expressions in our c<xnt.’»‘«nicaiioii of yesterday,
were icgatded by vour L xcellency, as an indig
nity offered to the SUte r or ns authorities
Nothing could he further fi 9m our design. In j
the cou.se we have now ta.ke’U,. it has been out 1
intention simply, to forbear' .'he piosecution
of our case, anJ to leave llw question oi our
continuance in couuuement to trie .’uagnammity
of the State.
We are respectfully, yours,
S. A. WorcesteiG
Elizur Butler,
Notwithstanding this letter, now ou file in the*
Executive Office, these pious martyrs have? (
had the hardihood to assert to the American (
people, that they “made no solicitation, no
overture, no compromise.” True they have
attempted to clothe their prayer for pardon in
very dignified terms; but if we understand the
English language, this latter letter gives the lie
to every branch of the assertion. Zt coaiains
an humble apology, coupled with solicitation, j ‘
overture and compromise. These devuut men I (
have not condescended to tell the plain and 1 (
honest truth in any thing they have said, and (
throughout the whole controversy, they have (
exhibited any thing but the humility of Evange- (
lists, desirous of propogating the mild and humb
ling doctrines of the Gospel. Zu the conclud- '
ing paragraph of theii first letter to the Govern- '
or, wilh the can', of the demagogue, they base
their application upon injuries apprehended to ,
their "beloved country"— though they had been '
for six months endeavoring to bring the highest
authorities of their beloved country into direct
collision. Zu their second supplication for
pardon, they based their application upon the
"magnanimity of the iS’fuie.”—after having
. used their best exertions to humble that mag
■■l nanimity under the bench of the Supreme
; Court. Now they wish to attribute their re
,l lease to tho apprehensions of the Governor
( and his friends. Zs thero a single trait of
. Christian meeknees, lotbe.nance and truth
. 1 tn any thing they have done? We are the
. warm advocates of the tiue missionary cause
, and spirit; and wo would advise the Board of
r Missions, if they feel as Christians should, to
> recall these men, and send men of piety and
1 truth among the unfortunate Cherokees.
The principal Keeper of ihe Penitentiary j
! informs ns, that, in addition to the foregoing '
, letters, Worcester and Butler did solicit him to
I ascertain the views and feelings of the Gov- (
I ernor. We are the friends of the Governor, ,
and we can truely say, we have never known
him more unyielding and indexible upon any
j subject th in on this; ami that instead of his send
! mg any intimations to these men calculated to
thaw from them a solicitation tor release, such
solicitations were made to kii.i by his friends—
to which Ite give, so fir as we know and believe,
one unwavering and undeviaiing answer, th it
he was determined not to be moved by threats
of the Supreme Court, and that these men nev
er should be released, till their suit was dispos
ed of in the Supreme Court. And while there
is no man, more anxious th in our Governor,
lo avoid all controversy with every department
of our happy Govei nment, there is none who
will more pertii’.ici. 'jjly assert the just claims
of Georgia.
1 The truth is bi it fly ibis. Worcester and 1
Butler had been addressed by various religious
gentlemen of their own denomination. They
had been told that their conduct was unchristian
in continuing a useless and improper controver- i
sy—that they were injuring tho cause they pro- '
fessed to advocate. They had been told by |
' other gentlemen, that their conduct might have 1
► an unhappy effect upon the already excited
state of political relations. We understand '
that these views were represented by them, or •
their religious agent, to the Board of Foreign
' Missions. Mr. Potter, their agent, was in ■
Milledgeville, perhaps awaiting their answer.
The enlightened men, composing that Board,
though they at first acted imprudently, so soon
' as they discovered that the te-eleclion of Jack
sou, who had sustained Georgia throughout,j
and the public opinion of the gieat body of the
American people expressed in that election, ‘
had virtually settled the Cherokee controversy,
and reversed the decision of the Supreme
Court—advised Worcester and Butler to hold
out no longer—that the finger of Providence
bad directed them through these events in the
path of duty, and that it was the duty of all who
j believed that events were overruled by the Dei
| ty, to follow in the path he pointed out, tec.—
' Upon the reception of this answer, and on the
| very night of its arrival, Worcester and Butler
! wrote the letter of the Sth January to the Gov
! ernor. Mr. Potter carried it to the Governor. ,
lit was unsatisfactory, and they wrote that of ’
the 9ih. On the icception of this letter, the 1
Governor, considering that the honor of the
| Sate was redeemed and satisfied, released
i them, as he should have done. This is the true
account of the conduct of these men, and they
dare not deny it.
We feel it a duty due to Christians, as well
as politicians, to sum up in few words, the char
acter of these miscalled “ missionaries."
Ist. Under the name of Christian Mission ■
aries, they acted as die political tools of the
Cherokees and their white advocates, so long
as they resis ed the laws of Georgia and her
just claims, and remained m the Penitentiary.
: 2d. After finding themselves compelled to
j dismiss their suit in the Supreme Court, and
: ask for mercy, their wounded pride and malice ,
have prompted them to become the political \
tools of the Governor’s enemies. In the first |
< instance, they found allies out of Georgia. In j
! the second, they find their allies in Georgia, a- I
, mpng the opponents of Mr. Lumpkin. Neilh
: ei/ these mon, nor their adjuncts can derive
' nluch credit from an affiance so unholy,. They
'are poth the enemies of the true interests of
, Georgia.
I 3d. They have evinced an unrighteous am
| bition and malignant depravity of heart, in
, turning round, and endeavoring to cast odium
j upon the man, who had extended to them the
clemency they prayed fur.
We have but a question or two fur the Gov
ernors opponents.
Why did you support Gilmer, who pardoned
several men, without their application, sen
tenced with Worcester and Butler, before they
had entered .he Penitentiary walls, upon their
bare promise either to leave the Territory or
submit to our law, while that law was in forc»l
And why do you now oppose Lumpkin, who
suffered Worcester and Butler to remain 18
months in pt ison, and would not pardon them,
till thev had dismissed their suit, and begged
for mercy» even after the law was repealed un
der which they were sentenced? Can you an
swer us?
Oh no! Lampkin has teen guilty of the un
pardonable sin of having settled our whole In
dian question, and acquired the rights Georgia
has so long contend for. He is guilty of the
heinous offence of a warm attachment to Jack
son and the Union. These things you cannot
hNgive, because they place him beyond the
reach of your vengeance.— -ib.

I wealth. Whilst the deeds of others, in this re-
■ gard, are going abroad, we just ask permission
| to say, that at the Sixes’ Mines, a few days ago,
'i our worthy friend General Lawhon, realized
i from one of his washers 14 dwts. to the hand;
I and that at one of the same Mines, Colonel
Caldwell procured a piece, weighing 38 dwts.

We would not, by any means, wish to con
vey the idea that all the Mines of the region,
' that are operated upon, are yielding anenormus
| profit, far fiom it, this business, like most other, {
■ has been overdone or rather many Mines have
been worked that do but a poor business and
m iny have been abandoned. The Sixes, we
think, are amongst the most valuable yet dis
covered.
GOVERNOR LUMPKIN.
After inviting the opposers of the Governor
to bring forward the charges, they might think
proper to prefer ; after having stated, distinctly,
the ground upon which we placed ourself in th*-
support ofthe governor ; and, after waiting
' proper time, we come, now, to examine ’h.
j charges, and what they are, that seem to deserve
[ aiten ion ; for many are made, too trifling (or .
consideration, that are, only, made to gratify
malignity, with such we have nothing to do, j
’tis wilh those that address themselves to the i
judgement, that we feel concerned. j
Much more seems to rest upon the charge
of the Governor’s improperly discharging tho i
Missionaries, than any other. No want of i
ability to dischrge his complicated duties, no im
proper discharge of duty is charged against
Governor Lumpkin ; the whole opposition, j
then, to the re-election of Governor Lumpkin,
is lodged in the circumstance of the discharge
of the Missionaries, in this case it is said that
the dignity of the state has been compromited;
let us proceed to examine this matter with de- .
liberation.
i The character of the state has nothing to do
i with the acts of the Governor, further than they
I relate to him, as such ; his ac-'s, as Governor,
! are made know, by issuing orders, proclama- ,
lions and the like, all of which beai io the char
acterofthe state, such a relationship, that if
they are wrong they reflect disgrace upon it, if
they are correct, they support the dignity of the [
state. 'Rhe Missionaries were not confined for ,
the commission of a crime. Governor Gilmer I
offered the Alissionaiies a discharge after their '
arrival in Milledgeville, if they would take the >
required oath or leave the state, upon their re- :
fus.d to do either, they were imprisoned. It
should, constantly, be recollected, ail while men j
residing in that part of tho state of Georgia,
known as the Cherokee nation, were required
by an act ofthe Legislature, to t.ike an oath to
support tho laws of the state, those that took
the oath were permitted to remain in the nation
without further exaction, those that refused to •
comply with the provisions, ofthe act, were de- '
elared guilty of a misdemeanor and subject, up- i
on conviction, to Penitentiary imprisonment.
Georgia had long contended against the influ
ence of white men exercised against her rights,
residing in and out ofthe nation, if it was not
practicable to arrest the influence of those out of
the state, it was practicable for her to arrest the
influence of those within the state. Nothing
need be said, on this occasion, relative to the
propriety or expediency of this Act, that is
foreign to the point, it is somewhat strange
that no white man felt the inconvenience of this
act ot the Legislature, but the Missionaries.
Tho organization of the country, rendered ob
solete the act under which tho Missionaries
were imprisoned, they were disarmed as were
the other opposers of the state, by the settle
ment ol the triends of the state in the country ;
in view of this fact, the last Legislaiure, repeal
ed the act under which tho Missionaries were
confined, thereby pointing to the discharge of
these men. The Missionaries instituted an ac
tion in the Supreme Court for their liberation
th<M cause was pending before that court at the
time ot the repeal of the act, under wjiich the
Missionaries were confined, by the Legislature
of Georgia.
That this whole case may be understood, we
publish, in this day’s paper, an extract from the
letters of the Missionaries, after their discharge,
a correspondence between certain gentlemen of i
New-York and Governor Lumpkin, previous
to their discharge these things have been pas- (
sing through the newspapers foi some time, and ;
we now publish them that our remarks may ac
company them, and as they form important
linksiu the history of thisafihir.
It seems to us that the responsibility of the
measure, should rest, mainly, upon die Legit la- I
lure, for, certainly, it made the first step to
wards the discharge of the Missionaries, the re
peal ofthe act under which they were confin
ed. Upon the withdrawal of their case from
the Supreme Court and an appeal Io the mag
' naittmiy ofthe slate they were discharged, it'
• after the repeal ofthe act, spoken of by the Le
' uislatme and the withdrawal of their case bj
I the Missionaries, the Governor had refused to
discharge them, where is the sober-minded man
. tli.it Would not have denotmeed him. The cir
; cumsrances, as we conceive, as we have detail- I
’ ed them, are those, alone, with which the char- [
' actcr ol the state is connected and by which ,
that character can be affected for good or bad. !
Bat, it is contended, that certain persons, j
J (nought about this state of things, and that the !
' Governor had an agency in it all—by whom is '
j this proved, by the very men that hate received ■
a pardon after the withdrawal of a suit they
knew would be fittiiless, th.it pt oof, however, ;
!is to condemn the Govei nor of Georgia,an Uni
ted States’senator and many dislifiumsl.t d in
dividuals, besides. Suppose the whole state
ment of the Missionaries to be true, without
supplying much by conjecture and inference, it
amounts to but little. Wnh the characters of
those men we have nothing to do, it would be i
no difficult task, however, we should think, to
isliotrihat they wete nat entitled to so much
weight of character, as to crush every body.
Tn.it the Governor acted wisely, in this busi
ness, wc never have had a doubt and that tire'
character vs tbs state has beta preserved, I
I throughout H>l ? t/ansaction,a>i3 h; s
1 tion, generally, is equally certain. Howcvef
j f.ur, honest or innocent a transaction may be
there are always, those that are ready to con
demn it.
. This Missionary affair comprises the only*
crime against Governor Lumpkin ; suppose
hgn, then, to have acted improperly through it
all, how fortunate he has been ; at a time when
so many difficulties intrude themselves upon
him, how extremely fortunate that he has com
mitted but one error ! bow much the superior,
he is ol his immediate predecessor ! ’
We have been permitted to peruse a letter,
giving the following detail of an affray, be
tween Ridge’s and Ross’s fiiends at the Head
of Coosa. Under other circumstances, we
should permit this to pass off, as we do many
other t.ffrays of the like kind, but when it is con
sidered that Ridge is al the head ofthe Treaty
paity, and Ross at the head of the opposition,
we may reasonably, infer that there exists much
hostile feeling between these two parties, tipou
dial subject, and that they are disposed to man
ifest it, towards each other, upon every occa
sion.
Rumor says that the anti-treaty-party are
much displeased with Ross, accusing hitn of
deception, in promising to restore the land, and
that personal violence is threatened him.

“An affray took place some time ago, be
tween John Fields, and his friends, and 00-n«-

I did not see it, I had left the company a short

him wilh a club on the head and once on the
