FEDERAL UNION;
Ghief Magistrate oi the Unton. He ba«, up
on every fit occasion, manifested an unceas
ing disposition to better the condition of the
In fans ; and at the same time to relieve the
States from this embarrassing portion ot their
population. In an especial manner, he has
manifested his deep sense of the wrongs
brought upon Georgia, by the want of good
failhj on the-part of the Federal Govern
ment ; and has fearlessly advocated the rights
of Georgia, to the full extent of her claims.
Therefore,-every consideration of duty and
will inevitably eventuate in the annihilation oi our
beloved Union. -
fn exercising the duties of that department oi
government, which devolve on me, I will disregard
all unconstitutional requisitions, of whatever char
acter or origin they may be; and to the best of mv
abilities, will protect and defend tbe rights oi the
Stale, and use the means afforded to me, to main
tain ils laws and Constitution.
Signed, WILSON LUMPKIN.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
To the State of Georgia, greeting:
You are hereby cited and admonished to be and
appear at a Supreme Court of the United States to
justice, requires our cordial support of the be holden at Washington on the second Monday c
President, in all measures emanating from January next, pursuant to a writ of error filed i
him, which may not be deemed incompatible
with paramount duties.
In c mformity with the views herein sub
mitted, I would respectfully recommend to
the General Assembly, an immediate survey
of the Cherokee Territory. After com
pleting the survey of the country, (unless it
shall become indispensable to the interest and
shall become indispensi
peace of the state to act differently,) I would
yet pause for a time, and endeavour to main
tain our present, unpleasant, expensive, and
embarrassing situation, in the hope, that bet
ter counsels may then prevail among the In
dians, and that those who govern them, may
yield to such measures, as will obviously
promote their real and lasting interest.
Put should circumstances render it indis-
pea able, to take possession of the unoccupi
ed Territory, we can then sustain the Indi
ans in their homes, protect them in their
rights, and save them from that cruelty and
oppression, which have too often been the
inheritance of this unfortunate people,—in
the confidence, that their claims to the ter
ritory thus occupied by Georgia, will be ex
tinguished by the Federal Government, in
compliance with the compact of X?,02.
