Department of War, September 7th, 1831.
8m.—1 have had the honor to receive your letter
,f the 20th ulto. with its enclosures. These have
iren submitted to the President, and the renewed
xptession of your views respecting the emigration
f the Cherokees, together with the statements and
[opinions to which you have referred, have led to a
.reconsideration of this matter, and to a determina-
by a systematic effort to effect, the removal of
hese Indians, from the chartered hinits of Georgia,
Id far as the same can he done with their free con
stant. and under the stipulations of the treaty of
ftitf&y 6th, 1823, which hold out strong’induc.nments to
ftfltem. The accompanying papers which. I have the
/honor to transmit you, will put you in possession of
‘ tlie plan which has been adopted and of the mode
proposed for its execution. Information shall from
jime to time, be given to you of the progress and
prospects of the affair, and of any changes it inn
~»a found necessary to make. And 1 shall he hap;
o receive any suggestions you may feel disposed to
iffer.
Mr. Currv, who lias been appointed to superin
tend the business, is represented to lie a man of en
ergy, integrity and industry, and I .doubt not, hut lie
will devote himself zealously to the execution of
the duty assigned to him.
Yon will perceive that for the. reasons stated in
the papers, this effort is confined to the Cherokee
country, within the chartered limits of Georgia, and
‘^therefore becomes unnecessary to designate any
icular district to which the attention shall he
.TJudireeled. If his report furnishes grounds for
belief, that any considerable portion of the Che-
t»kees are prepared to emigrate, all proper means
within the reach of this Department, will be used to
forward that object.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obe
dient servant. LEWIS CASS.

who may candidates, for others you do not know;

wise, prudent, and judicious a selection, would a train
be made, should the t* publican policy, pursued and

to, of rotation in office ? The Troup party have <ri-

Believe not these men, when they tell you that Gil

to the best interests of Georgia. Believe not these
men, for two years ago they declared that Gilmer
was what the people of Georgia could desire for
their Governor; that lie possessed every qualifica
tion for such a distinguished office. Believe them
not when they tell you that Gilmer wishes to de
prive the poor of a participation in the land lottery
and in the gold mines ; for two years ago, according
to the (’lark leaders, Gilmer was a virtuous and pat
riotic citizen ; and certainly at his age moral quali

In the selection of Judges of the Superior Courts,
the same wise policy was pursued by the Troup par
ty. Have you any complaints against any one of
the eight Judges elected by the legislature? We
have been particular in getting information from the
eight circuits into which the State is divided, and
we can declare, without fear of contradiction, that
the. people of each circuit, or at least a large majori
ty of them, desire the re-election ofthe Judges now-
in office. Ami why ? Because they have dischar
ged their duties ably, faithfully and impartially.—*
Because in the administration of the law, they knew I ti
no party ; they made no distinction between the j r ,
poor and the. rich; the personal enemy and thel ( j
friend; all were equal to them according to the law a
of the land. Fellow-citizens, w e appeal to your can-( r ,
dor again ; what complaints have you to m k
against any ol the eight Judges ? If you have not
to make; if you have, been satisfied with their offi
cial duties ; if the law has been well administered ;
w hy then change them for others you do not know .
for others who may not he so skilful in the. law ; who

made in 1825, of the power they obtained in both
branches of the legislature, and. therefore, of the
choice they made of Judges, and other officers.
In the appointments which devolved upon the
Executive, alone, have von any complaints to allege?
If you have, bring them forward. But, Fellow-citi

Fell ole* Citizens:—A crisis has arrived which will
§ require the exercise of all your patriotism and your
V devotion to correct principles, in order to meet it in
i a proper manner, and to give it such a direction ?s
will best comport with the interest of your Stale and
1 the welfare of the people. It is a crisis which is to
Jjdeterniine, whether the policy which has been pur-
rsued for these eight years past hy the State govern-
T rent, and which hue promoted tlie prosperity ol'
| Georgia, and establishfcd her reputation upon a
j solid foundation, is to be abandoned, for another
which was once tried and found wanting in all tin-
requisite ingredients for a wise, prudent and well
• adapted system of government, for the State of Geor-
gia. This crisis will determine, whether yon have
been satisfied with the policy pursued hy Troup,
# Forsyth and Giliner; nnd whether you regret tho
)four years during which John Clark was Govern-
tofor of the State. This crisis will determine whether
u sincerely wish to preserve the union ofthe
^^KjUtes, as first established, and to maintain the inte-
^ writy of the federal constitution in its original puri-
f ty, or whether you are solicitous for the consolida-
B lion of the States into one splendid, and more
W J fttit government, than the present government, nnd
^ L*or the assumption of all the powers reserved by the
-States when they confederated, by n few citizens
Lwho will then govern despotically ; whether undei
the title of kings, regents, directors, or presidents, State ot (leorjrin
*d itmatters not, provided you are obedient to their
will, and you lose all tlie manly attributes of frec-
Mn |n this crisis you have no other alternative :
s Ibryou have before you, the liistory of the adminis-
tfatioa of the State Government, by the federal par-
t |y, while John Clark was Governor, and you have
a ) before you the history of the administration ofthe
f 1 State governipent by the Republican party, under
Troup, Forsyth and Gilmer.
Fellow-citizens, What have you to say against
the republican administration of the State, since
1823 ? What ore your complaints against those who
had the management of the State concerns during
all this time? Have you any thing to say ? Have
you any complaints ? Have you any objections to
the principles which uniformly guided those you in
trusted with power ? If you have nothing to say ;
if you have no complaints ; if the concerns of the
State have not been neglected ; if the principles of
those intrusted with power were pure and unobjec
tionable; why operate a change in the State admin
istration? If you have been satisfied, why turn
-••ttnen you already know, for men you do not
now, and in whom you have not as yet any confi
dence ’ These are questions, Fellow citizens, which
demand your serious attention, and require mature
deliberation, before you give your votes, at the ap
proaching election, against the present administra
tion of the 8late Government.

Penitentiary have, we believe, so tar as wi
with propriety speak of them, discharged th
lies lo the best of their abilities, and with a view to
the best interests of the Inslilution. The two Su
perintendents of the Public Ronds have so far p.irr-
ited the commendation of their fellow* citizens, for
the industry, attention, and ability, with which they
hijve discharged the laborious duties of their offices.
The Directors of the Outral Bank, so far as delica
cy may permit us to allude to them, have likewise
endeavored to deserve the approbation of the com
munity, for the impartiality, industry,and attention,
they combined in the discharge of the duties as-
signed them bv law. No complaints can be aliened
against them of partiality, or of having made a dis
tinction between the parties existing in the State.—
With regard to the Cherokee Guard, complaints
have lately been made by the Missionaries arrested
agreeably to law. The whole transaction will he
