I suggested to vi,n iu my Idler of the 20th. the propriety of establish- ;:ij* set era I nlftccs for enrollin'! emigrants. I again :cj» at the suggestion, convinced as Imn, that itsadop. it-, a is extremely 1important to ensure success. The contract of the united Staff * to extinguish the Indian fide lo nil lands within the limit** of Georgia, author- lira ie to reoncst it as an act ef justice that the Che. inkers should be first removed from this State. If there is hut one office of emigration, and that at the Igenry, it will be difficult to induce the Indians from this State to go that far to enrol, inert as they are. and subject to the controlling influence of the Chief*. Those who reside within our limits, are most probably readier than others to enroll on account of tlm extension ofita laws over them, and their appre hension of suffering therefrom, unknown and dreadful evils. It is indeed believed, that the indications of a desire to emigrate have been almost exclusively con fin'd to the Indians in thi state, and principally to those who res do on the South and East of the Etowah river. They mav also enrol without fear of injury from the influence of their chiefs on necoiint of the pro. rreturn which the Georgia Guard will be enabled to afford them. If any difficulty should occur in procuring proper Agents, I would icspt rtfully recommend to you torpor- dons who arc mentioned as suitable for such service in my letters nf the I4tl» of May, a id 2lst of June, and •he accompanying communications. Very Rmpectfullv yours, &c. GEORGE R. GILMER. lion. Lewis Cass, Secretary of War. (Copy.) Deportment of War, Sept 7Ih, J83J. Sin,—I have had the honor to icceive your letter • the 20th ult. with its enclosures. These have been submitted to the President, and the renewed expression of your views respecting the emigration of the Cher kecs, together with the statements and opinions to which you have referred, have led to a reconsideration of this matter, and to a determination by a systematic effort, to effect the removal of these Indians, from the chartered limits of Georgia, so far as the same can be done with their free consent, ami under the stipulate of the treaty of May Cth, 1828, which hold out strong inducements to them. The accompanying papers which I have the honor to transmit’^'011, will put you in nos. session of the plan which has been adopted, and of the mode proposed for its execution. Information shall from time to time be given to you of the progress and prospects of the affair, and of any changes it may be found necessary to make. And I shall be happy to re ceive uny suggestions you mav feel disposed to offer. Mr. Curry, who has been appointed to superintend lh* business, is represented to be a man of energy, in tegrity and industry,and I doubt not but he will devote himself zealously to the execution of the duty assigned to him. Y«m< 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 it therefore become* unnecessary to designate any particular dis trict to which the attention stiall he first directed. If his report furnishes grounds for the belief, that any con .xidorablo portion of the Cherokee# arc prepared to em igrate, all proper means within the reach of this De partment, will be used to forward that object. I havn the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedi ent servant. LEWIS CASS. Mis Excellency George R. Gilmer, Gov. of Georgia, Milled *eville. Ertrofit rf a Utter from the Secretary of War to Gov. Gil mer, dated Sept Vth, 1831. I have had the honor to receive your letter of the If It ft inst. #*#•*♦♦♦ Our efforts being confined to the Cherokee country, within the chartered limited* Georgia, and these on- Adme'it registers, being now directed fo be opened, it it believed that the object will not be unnecessarily de layed. So far as depends upon the action of this Depart- merit, every reasonable facility shall be afforded to car ry into effect the plan of emigration. If all the mea sures which are recommended arc not taken and as ftperdilv taken as you could wish, you must attribute tlv» result, not to any indisposition to meet the question jn every proper manner, but to it# complicated bearing to t he practical difficulties of removing a largo body of dependant people, and also to the general obligation or vuiryina into effect every provision of the law, with as much economy ns may he compatible with 1 lie objects *0 beat'ained, ami the necessary inodo of proceeding.” The Augusta Constitutionalist contains the following bit upon the present mode of electioneering; it may take with those who never think or read, but is a fail ure with those that do. “Tin electioneering gentry w ho arc supporting Mr. Lumpkin through thUk ami thin treat the people ns if ;hcv supposed them fools.

It may be true—it is at lean plausible—let the people luok to it. “Perhaps this change of conduct may be -explained, by the publication oi the rorres- ponifenco between the President and Vice- President. That publication was made the luttcr end of February, after Mr. Lumpkin’s letter, declining tlto candidacy for Governor. Mr. Lumpkin’s devotion to the Vice-Presi dent is disclosed in that correspondence.— From the tune of that publication, it was easy to foresee that th© Vice-President would be opposed to the re-election of Gen. Jackson, ft then became important to Mr. Calhoun, to create opposition to Gen. Jackson, in every State and in every possible form. I he high vote which Mr. Lumpkin received for Con- grass nt the last Congressional election, pio- bahly led both him and Mr. Calhoun to ho- lievo Mint ho bad sufficient popularity to lie elected Governor, and that if too Legislat ure • n hould contain a majority of hi9 political fort'probable that Mr. Lumpkin is at *lii« ,„o- ment only the puppet of John f.

He <m» frequently heard it suggested by \yoIl.tn. ibrnii>d men.” -<55fc- f laving heard one of the leltrrs, to which the writer allmles, read to some fifteen or twenty persons, we can* not doubt the trillIi of his statement. eosl.MUMCATEn. •Ur. Editor.— It is mortifying to (lie foot ings of honest nntl independent) Georgians, to know th it any of their candidates for office descend lo petty artifice and electioneering tricks for tlieir own advancement. Ycl humi liating as llu- thought may he, it is neverthe less true, that one of our candidates for Go vernor (the Hon Wilson Lumpkin,) has been known, pending the next election, to write letters to several individuals in different parts ol the Stale, for the purpose of refilling ob jections that have been urged against him. and no doubt with the hope of securing n few more votes. It is also slated that not long since lie gave an account of his prospects t his warm personal and political friend. John G. Calhoun, informing that gentleman that he should get the support of the Clark, and a por tion of the Troup party. This of course shows something—and what else enn we reasonably suppose from it, than that it is n tacit promise from Mr. Lumpkin louse his influence in aid mg Mr. Calhoun m his ambitions designs Will the Democracy of Georgia tolerate such unworthy bartering of political influence— such undignified attempts In procure the votes of freemen ? No, they cannot. If their eyes are open they will nut. Republicans beware (hero is danger near vnu—Du you wish to avert it ! vole lorGKORGF R. GILMER Ho docs not bargain for office, lie writes no electioneering letters, he is an honest politi- cian. Again I say, if you wish to escape dun gcr, vole for him. NO MISTAKE. — £3>— COMMUNICATED. Who arc yon going to rote for ? I’ll first tell you who I’m not going to vote for, and then I’ll tell you who I am going lo vote for. I’m not for Lumpkin, fellow vo tern, end I’ll tell you why : Bemuse,—when lie was in tho Legisla ture, he was for heavy taxes on the peo ple, and for tho largest reserves; nnd the highest price on grants, that wero pro posed. He voted for n heavy yearly tax, of twelve cents an acre, on tho land to he lotto- rii-d off. which on tracts of 202j acres, would have amounted to twenty four dollars and tliir hi cents, tchicli every poor man in the. country, who drew land, would have been obliged to pay to the Tax Collector every year, besides the high price of Ins grunt—12 or 1:1 dollars. Fortunately fur the poor people of the state, Mr. Lumpkin did not succeed in his attempt, for the hill was lost by a vole of 39, against 14. Mr. Lumpkin stuck out however, In the last, and voted for it. When the price of grants came before tlio House, n motion was made to strike out six dollars, for every 100 acres, equal mi 202 1-2 acres, to between 12 nnd 13 dollars for a grant, tied put in five dnllnrs, cqnnl to between 10 and 11 dollars, a differ ence of two dollars; Mr. Lumpkin voted against striking out, and the six dollars were not struck out. Ho was in favor of tlio very highest tax; 'bus making the poor man pnv two dollars more, than by the motion lie would have been called on to pay, for Mr. Lumpkin this lime succeeded in his views. When the subject of the reservations enme lie- forn tho nssemhly, he was in favor of reserving to tho sinlo every twentieth tract, of all the Inod got from the Indians, in addition to the fractions. Tho motion was lost 13 to 35— luckily he failed here again, as he had failed in wishing the Legislature fo (ax the tracts (o he drawn, $21 30 rts. ns above mentioned. You may sue an urcount of nil this in tho pro ceedings of the House, published to tho Geor gia Journal, of 18th August, 1831, for the in formation of tho people : Bncause, when he was a member of the cnmttntlco on Indian affairs in Congress, in 1S28, ho wr -to a report on the subject, and gave it as his opinion, that the Chcrokecs had n fight to tnuko what constitution or form of government for themselves they pleased.

So von see. it is as I sav—the ■nan don’t know his own mind: Because I want to ho sure of a ehanco iu the lottery for the land nnd the gold mines; and if Gilmer is made Governor again, there’s no doubt it will he drawn without nnv reserves, because he has alrendy signed the bill; hut if Lumpkin is p it in, I may lose my chalice. I know flint his friends, the editors of the Fed eral Union, say thnl he tins written to them staling that lie is opposed to the gold mines being reserved ; hut in that same letter which they publish in (heir paper of the 1st Hcptnm- iire hint; yin net was ever passed, allowing Indians to givu any kind of testimony, what ever : Because, lie is doing every thing in his pnw- or, to get tlm Cherokees nlV; and ns he, anil the President are very friendly, there is no doubt he will succeed very shortly. lie has lately got the President’s consent to have hooks opened in tho Nation, to receive the names of those, willing to emigrate ; and ns the Cherokee laws are now broken up in the Nation, and the Indiums will not now ho afraid of their chiefs, because the Georgia laws protect those who pul down tlieir names, from all harm ; the grnulcr part, if not tlm whnlo, will no doulit, soon go away with their finni- . . lies. And hern, you may sec the necessity of her. Mr. Lumpkin snys something that I ran’t keeping Mr. Lumpkin out as Governor; Im- exaedy sec into, and I want you to examine it | cause, us I havo shewn you, he says that the for yourselves. Ho says (lint he. is “ less i favor of ell reservations than formerly.” These are his words—well, wlint do they mean?— That lie is not now in favor of reservations ! No such tiling Just tho reverse—his words prove that he is now actually in favor of them. He only says that ho is not so much so as for merly. Now, when we recollect his conduct m tlio Legislature—how niurli lie was in favor, ns I have shown you by tho Journals of (he House, of the heaviest taxes, tho largest res ervations, and tho highest price on grams, he may, as he says, ho less hard upon us now (him ho was then, and yet be slill very liurd, a great deal harder than I would wish him lo bo upon mo; nnd 1 expect you'll say tho same thing too, ns regards yourselves. For my own part, Pm not for supporting him, because Gilmer gives us the land without any reserves nt all ; and Lumpkin, ns I havo proved to von by his own words, will not. He won’t oven say how much he is m favor of reserving ; and hero you sea again flip truth of what I have told vnu, that ho don't know Ins own mind; nnd il lie does, ho is not man enough to come nut with But even if he had come out with it on the subject, nnd said downright that Im was now opposed to all reserves, I shouldn’t know how to trust hint; for, changing his mind so often ns I havo shown you that ho doos, what security wo .Id we have, that alter being made Governor, ho would not recommend to tlio Le gislature lo break up Gov, Gilmer’s hill giving us tho land and tho gold, puss a new hill of his own, and reservo them lo die Slate, or tax us ns heavily as he wanted to do formerly ? So well do his own party know that he can't hu depended on, that I ho Columbus Democrat, one of (he strongest Clark papers in the Stato, won’t support him, becuusc, to use its own words, ” Mr. Lumpkin is ono of those ani mals tha' can neither bn roasted as flesh, nor fried ns fish, and ns they don’t know vvliat to make of turn, they gtvo him tip, they say to Old Nick for his cooking.” Now F don’t think we would be quite so hard upon Mr. L. ! [Cherokees have a right to make vvliat laws they please; and mind you, ho said this only three years ago; now, if ho is elected Gover nor, he must, neeording to his own principles, permil ihrm to do so ; and then ns the people of tho Nation, generally will he ns they were last year, afraid of tlieir own laws, so railed, hut which it is well known, a few running chiefs make, vvliat use will bo Gen. Jackson’s consenting to Imvo the hooks opened ? Not tlm least ; not a single Indian will dare to put his name down ; nnd tvo shall have them fas tened upon ns, as long ns Lumpkin is Go vernor : Because, it is nut true, that he has treated tho .Missionaries cruelly, or lhal hu has givun orders to that effect. Tho sevoriiy tlio Mis sionaries suffered, was tho work of the Guard, not his, and for it Col Nelson will have lo answer ; IF the account, indeed is rorreet, that we soo in (lie newspapers. Tho Governor however, lias ordered an enquiry into (lie mai ler; this is all that lie ran do. You will see the Rev. John Howard’s letter, published on the subject; lie says hu is perfectly satisfied with the Governor’s conduct, and calls Inin " a wise and humane benefactor Because, it is not true that the Governor is opposing tiio wishes of the people, respecting tho Penitentiary, m directing it to ho rebuilt, before the nssemhly meet. The Inst Legisla ture ordered the Inspectors lo make some new cells in tlm lot ; mid us the order was given to them, thu Governor has no more to do with the thing than yen or I have : Because, I have voted for Imn several time for member of Congress, and he nev.-r did any thing there, that hu ought to he turned out tor, anil I voted for him two years ago for Governor, nnd I can sav the same thing about Inin ns Governor, tlmt ! said nbnul Imn us Congressman. Hu has not done any thing that he ought to ho turned out for? In nei ther office, has he done that which ought to make him forfeit the good opinion of Ins fel low citizens. He is an old, long tried, public nation. Trusting that you havo for yourselves, done mo the honor lo give them lhal examina tion, I hope I mav now repeat my queslion to you wild more confidence m a satisfactory result, than I could feel when I put it toyouat first ; who are you going to vole for?
