This, of course, could not ho received. The
Governor did most obviously right, in not accept
ing it, ami on the bnclt of tlmt, committed the
strange anti unaccountable error of condescending
to hold stilt further communication with those men
immediately after this fresh indignity. Word was
carried to them from the Executive that this letter
was offensive, accompanied, we think, for we write
without the documents before us, with some sug»
Rost ions as to the form of the next letter. Where

The principles on which they had acted, and their
views in thus acting tiy tire impudent reasserlion
of them in the lirst note had hceu brought vividly
into the view of the Executive. Ought he not
then, with Ins attention fixed so fullv on this great
point, to have required them distinctly to acknowl
edge themselves “convinced of their error”?—
Dill justice require less, did the insulted and out
raged laws and authority of a Stale standing jnst
then on her sovereign rights require less, and
ought he who had her honor in his keeping, to have
been satisfied with less, and that too, when a favor
was asked ? But instead of this full and ample
measure of concession, nothing at all is said in
this second note on this gist of the whole contro

We have excluded Romo matter that we were
anxious to insert this week lo make room fur Col.
Mills’ Statement in defence of the Governor.—
This document would have betrayed the feelings
of a warm supporter of tiie Governor, even if the
author was less avowedly and conspicuously so
titan lie is. The attlious fullness of its language
of exculpation, and the general style and complex
ion of the whole is that of a personal and political
friend. He has obviously gone as lar us be could,
without violence to bis conscience; g.ving his
opinions where ho was not possessed of the facts,
and so arranging and presenting the whole ns to
nuke the best case for the Governor that the truth
would possibly allow. All this is very natural and
not a just subject of exception. We advert to it
only that the ease in all its parts may stand before
the public exactly ns it is.
We have not room for a detailed examination,
much less a full discussion of this “ Statement,”
rmr indeed do we know that it can be necessary.
Jt will bo seen that the part ot il which narrates
the events anterior to the discharge, admits more
actings and doings, (c c.trts nf justice would call it
practising) with the Missionaries than ever has
heretofore been alledged. More personages too,
have been introduced, and the numerous topirs of
argument addressed to the reverend gentlemen
have been disclosed to an ample extent. Consid
ered ns evidence, this wus candid : if inti tided as
a defence, il was certainly injudicious, however
well intended. It is curious nod i.ot entirely tin*
entertaining to observe that the main stress of the
argument or exposition, turns on a distinction ta
ken and strenuously insisted on between soliciting
nnd remonstrating.’ No person ever solicited the
Missionaries oh no! they only remonstrated
with them. They were never solicited to do w hat
they did; they were only advised to do it, and
reasoned with to shew why they ought to do it.—
Nobody asked them ; all that was dune was lo en
deavor to prevail upon them to do so. Truly Ibis
hair is rather of the smallest; especially for split
ting. So small indeed, that there is in fact none
of jt; for we say that in the fullest sense of the
word,these efforts ns staled by Mr. Mills himself,
were to solicit to persuade, to prevail upon these
Missionaries to drop their j-'ttit against the Stale.—
Read again the first part of Mills’ third paragraph.
Their sense of independence, their pride of char
acter, their zeal for Christianity anti the cause of
Missions, their prejudices lor the Cherokees, their
fears for the dignity of the Federal Court, and
even their affection for their families were all ap
pealed to. They were besought by every motive
and feeling, of pride, prejudice, fear, favor and al-
fcction, that there was any prospect of reaching;
ami all this we are u>M, had in it nothing of soli
citation!.' But enough of this verbal discussion,
into w hich wo have been unavoidably led ; it is
Unworthy of the subject. The appeals themselves
or some of them that were made to these men are
now displayed before the people, and their nature
is the same, bv whatsoever name they may be
called.
But they catch at another straw. It is alledged
that some »f the gentlemen w.lm have appear d in
this affair, were not authorized; and Col. Mills
•ays as to some of the others, that in Ins opinion
(hey were not authorized by the Governor to make
propositions or to say any thing to the convicts us
to the withdrawal of the suit etc. Does any hotly
imagine the Missionaries were ignorant of the
terms offered bv the Executive? Who does not
know that there were a thousand aicnues, through
some of which the overture must have rone lied
them? But Col. Mills [daces this matter beyond
all question. (.See his statement.) lie distinctly
tells its that so long ago as April, IfM'J, he told the
Missionaries from the Governor, in substance, that
they should be discharged if they would but sub
mit, and silence the threats and menaces of the
•Supreme Court. Now afler this, we are gravely
told that A dnl not say he had any authority to
tell the Missionaries this thing; that B did not say
he had; and it is believed that C did not. This is
trifling with the subject. It is proving that the of
fer distinctly mndo by the Governor, and directly
communicated from him by Mills himself, to the
Missionaries, was nut rehearsed and renewed by
every tine of his Excellency's confidential friends,
at their .subsequent numerous visits to the I’eniten-
ttary. 1'his leg of tlm argument is as sound,—
about as sound and strong and weighty ns is the
distinction, so much depended on between solicit
ation and remonstrance.
l’hc letters from the Missionaries then, of tiie
etli and Otii of January, 18:fl, requesting to be dis
charged, were proceeded by the entreaties, the
persuasions, nr as Col, Mills insists they shall be
called, the remonstrances, nr ns we certainly may
call them, the negotiation.- of many of the Gov
ernor’s confidential friends ; and by the offers made
«y flic Governor himself directly, to them, and in
directly through various other channels.
Now these two letters have been repeatedly
ushered in with a flourish of trumpets, ami blazon
ed forth as furnishing undeniable evidence that the
knnor nf the State, in this delicate affair, hod been
vigilantly watched, and abundantly vindicated.—
We believe tfie people were generally inclined to
jet them pass, if all had been sound behind them. ]

\Y e can refer our friend of the Courier lo au
thority a little more to be relied upon, we think,
than his “ letters from the upper country.” Hud.
as presentments of Grand Juries both in the up

furnish the latest and most authentic nows from
the people who seem determined to put down with
a marked indignant reprobation, this attempted ti-
stirpation, this unhallowed trallic in their rights.—
As to letters wc think it probable wo have received
more on that subject than have come to the bunds
of the Courier, and from sources wc doubt not to
the full as respectable, and they have but one o-
pinion of the result. The Kaiiliers will not he

we could refer the Courier-to more than one high
