pic (tooit pledged. Would you tlien have had the
Governor rf.lioorgia, to encourage tlio represen-
tatives of the saint people in another department of
Government, to have violated that pledge ? Or ra
ther would not every drop of patriotic blood that
rushes through your horn Us arouse Vou to the sup
port of the man who had virtue and independence
enough to grasp the constitutional warn, and by
one bold clS>rt, save, his country, although lie him
self should full a victim to its popular funk? Fel
low citr/.en*, reflect, 1 beseech you to reflect seri
ously on this subject! it is one of deep, of vital
importance to you, and surely you cannot longer
advocate a course that would have comproinittud
the peace, dignity, and integrity of your state.
Rut is this tile only benefit that has rosulN
from the good understanding which exists between
the FiXecutivca of the two Governments ? het us
coo if recent circimistnuceM do not afford an nu-
atver to this question in the negative. 1 he plan
of the emigration of the Indians by individual con
tract, nn«l valuation ut their improvement, Imd beet
offered tv the Cherokee* by the President, in ac
cordanoe with a power vested in him by C<»ngn*s
to do so. A good proportion of thorn accepted the
proposition, and left the country for the Arkansas.
Thh experiment, however developed this impor
tant fact to the President, that Congress in adopt
ing that measure, were not altogether apprised of
tin* 1 irge amount of money it would take to accom
plish it am! adequate appropriations had not been
jnada for its full and complete success. Under those
circumstances the President w as ot the opinion,
that it would be more to the interest of tho Govern
ment, to remove the Indians cn masse, and that the
extension of the laws of the state over them, con
nected with other causes, would speedily bring
them to that conclusion *, and that the emigrating
plan removed all thii*e who were favorable to the
vifiws of th ’ government, destroying thereby the
influence which they would have hud on thu sub-
• M * ■ al. with those who were left behind,
ISndnr those convictions tn* ^;^;dent thought
proper to close tho office of enrolment, find rf‘s ,, n i
to more direct efforts, for a treaty. Those efforts
have so far failed, during which tune the Governor
has been «•■ liduous in his exertions to obtain a cor
rect knowledge ofthc findings and opinions of ull
classes of tho ('liernkecs upon this subject. Tho re-
subroft/ioso enquiries wus the conviction that while
a treaty wiu promptly objected to by all classes,
. yet there was found a Iftrge proportion anxious to
cinbmcn the original offer ot the government, and
secure tlmir interest by individual contract. This
information was laid before tho president, with an
ur;ei t request thattlie otfleo ot enrolment should
again he opened, and those suffered to depart, who
were anxious to do so. In complete conformity
with tint g tftil undemanding and high confidence,
which Inis always existed between tho President
und Mr. Gilmer, nil considerations were immedi
ately waived,which Imd induced tho President to
close tlm o'lic.o of enrolment) f ‘»id tho interests and
wishes of Georgia as expressed through her Gov
ernor, promptly attended to, by an immediate or
der fur the re-opening of that ofllce.
IVnnt more can ho wanting to convince the p
pie of the unremitting exertions of Mr. Gihner to
advance the Wt interests of tho state ? ami who
among \\n is better qualified to do so, whore that
interest i< dependant upon the cn-opcration ofthe
President ofthe. United Slates ? 1 answer none
and tho proof hero exhibited of the good feeling
an 1 confiiii»nc rt that exists between tlmao distin-
guish ;d gentlemen, will fully boar mo out in this
answer. Why then is nn individual brought out

currency to have taken sides ng iir.st General Jack
non? and who h the avowed friend ot Mr. Calhoun,
wlm is now the avowed advocate of the doctrine
oWVttllifiration ?—Fellow citr/.e.na, tho uim er is
plain. It in to subserve party purposes, even at
the sacrifice ofthe best interofU of the country.
And to Hfoct those unhallowed purposes, princi

in r which ho never professed, and his best and

bo, when it is expedient und necessary, for th* safe
tv, interest and happiness of the people, to operate
such a change. Governor Troup, after saying that
the people of .South Carolina can chnnge their gov
ernment at pleasure, qualifies the proposition by ad
ding, that “ it’ ambition and avarice shall make of
the federal government n curse, und the Slates are to
be held to il ng iinst their will, our condition differs in
nothing from that of the provinces of Turkey
Persia.” Thus, should the ainbition and avarice
a iiHj-o ity of the .States make a curse of the federal
govermeiit, tlie State of 8outh Carolina can, if she
chooses, change their own government, and throw
off the government of the union, in the same man
ner that the American Colonies threw ofl* tho gov
ernment of (Jreut Rirtnin, for the evils they suffered
under tint government, and which are'enunjerated
in the declaration of independence. In fact no one
nt.’ill c mvir.-ant with tho law of nations, and with
tiie laws und constitutions of this country, can draw
other conclusions than those which are stnteff in
(Governor Tmup's letter. Deny those conclusions,
und tho powers of the Stales, and the most essential
rights of the people, are withheld from thorn ; a su
preme' and absolute power is placed in the federal
government; and should repeated oppressions bo the
policy of that government, the people must submit,
or bo treat: d :ia traitors and rebels. Should tlie fed

ofthe population* of the South, is entitled to the

by tMe ii der.il constilu'irm ; ami this federal c msti*
lulmi, is nothing mme tlian a roleinii contract lie-
Iwetn Die parties, (Mich only equally interested in
ils siipui items, and which establishes no distinction,
and unlies no difference between them, as regards
territory, population, nnd wealth. Therefore, this
constitution being nothing more than a contract be
tween free and independent bodies p di'ic, whene
ver one of tlie parties viol ites one ni'ils articles, the
oilier pnrtiesaro relieved from all ils obligations, for
il’ihis violation is overlooked, the contract becomes a
nullity, because all the parties to it cun violate it ever
aft- rv.ards with impunity.
In st ding that if one of the parties to the contract,
or eonfederacy of the Slates, violates one article of
it, the other parties ore relieved from nil ils obliga
tions, we do not mean tliat the Federal Government
is one of tlie parti s. . The Federal Government can
not and could not be a parly to Foe original contract
of confederation, because {hat Government is the
creature of^liis confederation, nnd exists only bv
tho will of tho confederated States. The parties to
the contract are the twenty-four States. One, two,
or more States can viola*e tlio Federal Constitution
or til's contract, by obtaining a majority of* voles in
both branches of the Federal Legislature, nud bv I build
obtaining a President who favors such a violation of j tho <

In the year 1830, tlie Inspectors examined into tlio
