wr,mo \fiti, urging various reneons why the policy
which is about to be pursued, should be pressed to its
;idlest clfcrt, and as am n as possible. 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

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. They say Lumpkin is op-
•>o-4o<l t«* reserving Mm gold mines, and argue hence that
ho fchonld be elected—os if this question has not al
ready been settled by an act of the Legislature ap
proved by the present Governor. Oh—but say the
wiseacre#—that act can be repealed! What—repeal*
xl hv the Representative# *>r the people in the very
- d h of public sentiment » The thing is preposterous.
Old birds aro not to be caught with chaff. Tm% trick i»
•.ooflimsey o tab.c with the enlightened people nr
Georgia.*’
A writer in the last Georgia Journal over the
. ignature of “ dristides,” among other remarks, andaf-
•cr noticing the charge in Mr Lumpkin’s course of
conduct, by declining to be a candidate before the pub
lication of .Mr. Calhoun's correspondence, and consent
ing afterwards, ass'gns the following as a reason. 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. Calhoun,
i Ins idea i* nut confined to tlio writer. He
<m» frequently heard it suggested by \yoIl.tn.
ibrnii>d men.”

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

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

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. You

a par! of the Judiciary act, the most important j j
in preserving nut government, in its present
happy slate of balance; now, tho Federal pa
per nt Milludgeville has it that he says lie is
no nullifier. 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? Atten
tive consideration of tlio claims of the two
men, is vvliat I beg of you ; nnd then in an
swering that question at the polls, who are you
