Those of our readers v> ho have not previously seen
the Communication of the Secretary at War, on the
subject of Cherokee emigration, will no doubt be not a
little astonished on perusmg-that document, w liich wid
be found in another Column. The first question wlficli
suggests itself to every reflecting man, is. what is to be
done in this emergency? In answering this question
of course we cannot be supposed to speak advisedly or
by authority; but we feel fully assured that the Gover
nor will canyon the emigration in the spirit of thetrea.
ty, should the government adopt the recommendations
of the President. Regardless ot the very nature of
things, resulting from the treaty, their n moval at this
time, as a matter of expediency and policy slioulu not
be questioned for a moment, by any of the authorities of
the State or General Government.
The country has been settled by a considerable popu
lation, of hardy industrious citizens, who were in nu.
nicrous instances induced to emigrate thither, because
of the assurance of government, repeated again and
again, that they would be removed in accordance with
the stipulations of the treaty. But apart from these
considerations, it is due to the Indians themselves, tha.
they should he 'removed, to a country more congenial
to their habits and manner of living. And however
Mr. Van Buren, may truckle or crouch, to avoid the
discharge of the duties imposed on him by the treaty
we feel confident that the removal will go on under the
management of the Governor of Georgia.
It is true, we feel indignant at this conduct of the ad.
ministration, and hence we feel the importance ot re
etraining the expression of our opinions, to the full ex.
tent that our feelings would justify; lor whether it be
regarded as an attempt really to abrogate and annul the
treaty, or a diplomatic trick, to get clear of the Cherokee
delegation at Washington, it ts alike contemptiplc and
undignified; and a bold and reckless disregard of his
most solemn pledges to the people of ths State s inter
ested.
We pt biish to-day the proceedings of a meeting oi
the citizei ■ of Athens’, held on Monday evening last in
ho Presbyterian Church; organizing a Benevolent So
ciety, for the relief and aid ot the sutferng poor, in tins
place and its immediate vicinity. Such a Society is
wanting in every community, to concentrate its chari
ties, and to prevent the constant impositions of those,
who, too idle to work, ate content to abuse the sympa
thies of the benevolent.
In forming this Society, the citizens of Athens do not
inean to support the paupers of every Country, which
fnay choose to send its beggars here. All persons who
do not reside in Athens, and are not well known among**
us, may be referred by any of our citizens to whom they
inny apply ( to the Prudential Committee of the Benevo
lent Society of Athens. By this Committee their claims
will be examined, and if they arc found worthy objects
of our charity, they V.’.iH be assisted. It is well known,
that the Judges of the Inferior Court, are the commis.
isioners for the poor of the county. Applications which
hreinade to this Society, by those who come under the
cogniztiiico of the commissioners of the pt’°r, will be
referred by tile Prudential committee to that Boarti.
We would suggest, whether the enforcement of the
laws against vitgranln, might not be advisable, where
hale and able-bodied men are found begging from door
to door ?
By a resolution which was adopted unanimously by
the meeting, and has been incorporated widi the By-
Laws, the Society has recommended to those who may
be appointed upon the Visiting committees, the adminis
tering relief rather by providing those things which are
needed by the poor, than the donation of money, which
might be ineffectual through the want of an attendant to
procure tfie things which nre needed ; or through the
indiscreUVUbfthc recipient, or through the L'rutirlily of
. intemperate husband.
With these guards thrown around cur new institution,
wetrust its well-directed energies, may prove highly
subservient to the cause of humanity.
We cannot but invito those who were prevented at
tending the meeting on Monday evening last, to send in
their names, with the amounts they are willing to con'
tribute quarterly to Mr. George Dent, at the Branch
bank, and thus bear a part in this noble enterprise.
IPtibHc Meeting.
MONDAY EViINTG, May 28th 1838
The citizens of Athens convened this evening ar can'
dle-light, at the Presbyterian church, {pursuant to ad'
journment. On motion of the Rev. Mr. Hoyt, the Hon
7’hog. W Harris wus called to the chair, and Edward
R Harden Esq-, appointed Secretary. As the object of
the meeting was to organize a benevolent society for
the relief of the poor and destitute in Athens and its vi
cinity, the committee who were appointed at a previ
ous meeting, through their chairman, Howell Cobb Esq
submitted the following report, of a constitution, and
By-Laws, prefaced by a few appropriate remarks ex
planatory of the objects of the institution.
The committee who were appointed to draft
a C'onstition and report to this meeting, beg
'leave respectfully to submit the following re
port.
E’REAiaBLE.
Whereas in every community, there are fre
quent applications made to the citizens for aid
and relief for those who are in distress; and
the duty of affording that assistance, according
to an ability, is universally acknowledged, and
is in accordance with the noblest feelings of
one nature : and whereas we are further pur
sttaded, that dur contributions would be much
more efficient, if combined than they possibly can
be, when indiscriminately scattered; and fur
ther as impositions are frequently practised up
on the charitable by unworthy persons under
false pretences of suffering,and thus our benevo- j
lent feelings are in danger of being blunted.
Therefore for the purpose of more efficient ac
tion in the cause of benevolence, we unite
ourselves as a Society, under the following
Constitution and By-Laws.
Artici.e I.—This Association shall be styled
the Benevolent Society of Athens ; the object

their respective districts, and also at each an

Art. s.—This Society recommends to the
visiting Committees to afford relief as far as
possible by providing such things as are neces
sary for the suffering poor, instead of giving
them money.
The report having been received, the Rev. Mr. Hoyt
arose and portrayed in a lucid and forcible manner, the
importance of such tin institution as the one alluded to,
and the advantages that would accrue from its estab
lishment. The Rev. Mr. Smith concluded the discus
sion, and in an eloquent and thrilling address, exhorted
the meeting to lend their aid in promoting the cause of
benevolence and charity. The report having been ad
opted unanimously’, a committee consisting of Dr. Hull,
Mr. John H. Newton, Mr. Baxter, and TUm. L. Mitch
el! Esq. was then appointed by the chair to ascertain
who were willing to connect themselves with the Asso
ciation.—About fifty persons sucscribed their names to
the Constitution, and at the same time made liberal con
tributions, toward effecting the objects contemplated by
the Society. The Ladies, whose encouragement in all
great undertaking, is indispensably necessary, in order
to insure?success, manifested an entcrest in the cause,
that was highly creditable to the goodness of their
hearts, and'extremely flattering to the projectors of the
enterprize.
The society being organized, an election for officers
was held immediately, the result of which was, as fol
lows:

Fra?;kt.i» Cot.leci;, May 31st, 1339.
A meeting ofStudents was held in the Chapel,
to take into consideration the outrage commit
ted on the feelings of the community, by the
disturbance ofthe late meeting, which was as
sembled in Ihe Presbyterian Church, on the
night of the 28th inst. After several adjourned
meetings, in which was manifested, a decided
disapprobation of the outrage alluded to; and
after considerable excitement arising from the
discussion of different remedies proposed for the
suppression of future disorders of this kind, the
following preamble and resolutions submitted
by Mr. Kendrick, to the meeting, were, after
full consideration, adopted.
Whereas, the public meetings heldatnight in
the town of Athens, whether of citizens, or of
students, have been frequently disturbed, by a
few inconsiderate and reckless individuals, re
gardless of civil authority, and insensible to eve
ry feeling of propriety and gentlemanly decorum,
and whereas the disturbance, ofthe good order
essential to such assemblies, which, in part,
might with propriety be alleged against a few,
has been indiscriminately thrown upon the Stu
dents, generally, of College. Wethemembers
ofthe institution, believe that, on our p.'.rt, an
expression of the strongest disapprobation of
such conduct is called for, and in as much as an
outrage upon the feelings ofthe community has
lately been committed in the meeting of citizens
held in the Presbyterian Church, on the even
ing of the 28th inst. we do express our honest
disavowal ot any participation as a body in these
scenes of clamour and disapprove ot that and I
every similar outrage and disorder by the adop
tion of the following resolutions.
Be it therefore resolved,
Ist. That the dignity and respectability of the
Studeat, and the instinctive principles of pro
priety and decorum, as well as the exasperated
feelings of an insulted and injured community
all demand of us, not only an expression of our
disapprobation of such disorder, but the disa
vowal of all participation with those (whether
citizens or students) suspected of the guilt at
tached to the o itrage during the session of the
benevolent Society of this place.
2d. That the imputation ofdisorderly conduct,
as alleged against the Students as a body, is not.
only an injury unmerited, but an insult unpro
voked.
3d. That in order to prevent the disgrace
arisingjfrom charges ofsuchungentlemanly and
undignified conduct, being attached in future to
this institution, we, in common with the citizens
of Athens, will exert our influence for the sup
pression ofsuch conduct, and for the detection
ol those who may hereafter engage in it.
On motion of Mr. Fall, it was resolved, that
the proceedings of this meeting be published in
the Gazetts ofthe town.

rjpillS comfortable establishment is re-opened
-3- by its former proprietor, and wdl be in a
state of readiness for the reception of families
and other persons by the middle of May. The
proprietor has gone to great expense in enlar
ging and refitting the whole establishment in
sid)”and out, oil oi which will be neat clean and
comfortable. The Stables and Carriage Hou
ses, are extensive, and in all respects well suit
ed to the purposes for which they are designed.
In short the proprietor thinks he will hazard
nothing, in pledging that this establishment in
the general, shall be inferior to none in the
Southern States, whatever Comforts that can
be in any way commanded from the resources
oi the surrounding country, will be afforded to
his guests in a manner he trusts, that will lie
entirely to their satisfaction. The establish
ment will be enlarged the present season, to
i upwards of thirty rooms—and charges the
same as at the ether public houses in the Vil.

The proprietor flatters himself, that he is too
well known to the public to render it necessary
for him to oiler to them testimonials of bis abil
ities or desire, to render those who favour him
with their company, in all respects easy and
comfortable.— His pridk and interest .ire both
at stake in sustaining the beautiful Village of
Gainesville, —which presents as many advan
tages as a summer retreat, as nny other spot
North or South. If therefore a liberal South
ern public, will afford a sufficient patronage to
justify the developement and concentration of
the various resources ofthe surrounding coun
try, so as to bring them into action for their
comfort and convenience, they may be assu
red that, the means thus afforded the proprietor
of this establishment, shall be liberally applied
to its improvement ano the procurement of
every comfort they can require until it shall
lose nothing by comparison with qny other ot
the kind, North South, East or West, —with-
out a liberal patronage however, it is evident
public expectation cannot be met. If the ad
vantages of an unexceptionable climate, supe
i rior water, with several medicinal springs, (one
of which is acknowledged by the most compe
tent judges to be excelled by none in the South
ern States) fine roads in every direction and
good society, are inducements sufficient to jus.
tifv the reasonable expectation, that a liberal
and intelligent public will give to their home in
stitutions, the preference over foreign ones—
I then the proprietor feels confident that this ap
peal will not be made in vain.
