It be recollected about that time the Federal n intimated to the people it possessed the j rtunity of knowing that the reports in rela- i o the Missionories, having been solicited to pardon, and withdraw tlieir case from th e fine Court, w ere unqualifiedly false. We ! red too of that print what were its peculiar! families of knowledge in regard to this mat- j Wc received no answer. Our prudent co irary maintaining a dignified silence on the | !t. Since this affair lias again been brought j the public, we would ask another question | >• As it is evident new that a deception i ttempted to be practised upon the people of | ia,we would enquire, who was its author. J icFederal Union, with the intent to deceive 1 thereport to he false, which it knew to he or did his ‘mystical’ Excellency mystify j iceive the Editors of the Federal Union?; mum cui-rjue tribuito' notions forbid ustoi >y in silence, the author of this unparallel-i nd. We are anxious that he be compelled ! ear his blushing honors,’ thick upon him in 1 pen sight of those be has tints boldly at- j fed to delude. In order that our readers ! aerceive how completely our queries have answered. We repeat them here. Did not his Excellency descend from his station, to beg of these convicts the letter wauld enable him to pardon them, or was dune with his privity and sanction, or at his Btion ? "ashe not induced to this course in ccnse- E ’i communications from Washington? lfn remarked that if these questions re d unanswered, ins Excellency’s silence - ascribed to a consciousness u:i his part •enco was bitter than subterfuge, and safer j Iff truth.”— Tima Fib. 6 th. Dfellrncy has now discovered that nei ubterfugt; or silenco -will av*il him. and it *°lhc people of Geergia that his Exccl -1 notions of “ the magnanimity of the should be explicitly laid before them, and speedily, without subterfuge or preva ln' apprehend that his Excellency's ntsgnanimity is not such a one as generally •’nth those over whom he. has the misfor -0 preside. But to the extract. ''had the assurance of an unconditional Provided we should desist from the at obtain the relef se by force. This aesu 3!r“i not trora solicitation on our part.— 6 no solicitation, no overture, no com ' bntws were often and earnestly soli ■ P e rsons in the confidence of the Govern esißt. from the prosecution, and assured so, we should not long remain in j ... ‘°ng ago as last August, we were dt h • **’ ,^at t * lo Governor had ex m Ids intention to release us as soon . n^ rt, l i nes should form a treaty of cession, ■ 1,1,6 should have taken actual posses . i 6 'orritory by the operation of existing had • ’ “ ou ma y t*H l, iem so.” Af ; “ given notice of our intention to move 'l 8 ? 1 * j ourl f° r further process, General ' -rudge Schley, two members elect of ,j J ' earn * 6l 'y solicited us to recall the no- Wld that though they were not sent to ■a not give the assurance officially, yet j diey had conversed with the governor on the sub ject, and knew his views; and we might be as sured that if we shonld withdraw our suit, we | should be discharged without any concession or | condition, or even an application to the Govern ! or , before many weeks. Mr. Outhbert, another j gentleman in the confidence of the governor, and who had also solicited us to withdraw the suit, told us that he had receceived the most unquali ! fii«d assurance from the Governor, that if we did so, we should be discharged immediately after : ! ’he adjournment of the Supreme court. Mr. For- i j syth had called on our counsel, Mr. Wirt for the ; purpose of bringing about the same object, and ; i had expressed his full confidence, though he said i he was not empowered to give any pledge from i the Governor to that effect, that we should bedis : charged immediately on the Governor’s receiving , i information that no motion would be made before ; I the court. We at first believed, and have since ] been informed, that Mr. Forsyth was authorized ] ! by the Governor to give Mr. Wirt such assuran- j Ices.* Since our release the question has been asked, what have the rnissii aaries gained by suffering imprisonment, and appealing to the Supreme Court * Tiiis inquiry may deserve a reply. 1. Suppose we had gained nothing. Ought we therefore to repent of having made the at tempt ? Are we never to make efforts and sacri fices for the accomplishment of an important ob ject, without the certainty of success? Or when we have done it, and failed, are we therefore to wish we had not done it/ No. If we have gained nothing else, we have at least gained a very cheerful testimony of our consciences, that we hare done what we could, for the prevention of injustice, oppression and robbery, and the preser vation of the national faith 2. if we have not gained, we have allcast not lost the privilege of laboring among the Cherokee in the work of the gospel, 3. We have gained in behalf of the Cherokee* a decision of the Supreme Court, which, although it does not avail for tiie protection of their pies- J ent rights, may nevertheless have a very impor tant bearing on their future prosperity—a deci ; sion worth far more than the sacrifices we have made to obtain it. [ We do not repent of wiiat we have done. We . greatly rejoice in it. And now that we are free, | ’’ gives usAronsolation to reflect tnat we have not i obtained our freedom by any abandonment ot i principle, or by ceasing to bear our testimony a ; gainst the injustice of the measures by which I the Cherokeesare deprived of their possessions. I V\ e felt it to be due to the cause of justice in an- I nouncing to the authorities of the state our deter mination to prosecute the case no further, to de ; clare our unaltered conviction of the correctness of the principles on which we have acted. Hav ing made the declaration then; we feel a freedom which we should not otherwise feel in making it now. I We know not but wc shall be considered as ; having used language unjustifiably severe, in this i communication, respecting the proceedings of the state of Georgia; but our own vindication I appears to require that we speak of things as ! ’hey are in our own view. The nature of the I proceeding by which the deffeiceiess Indians are deprived of tlieir possessionwbppear to us very j plain. We wish certainly to avoid oppobrious ianguage, hut we cannot see why, when we have felt ourselves called upon to oppose a torrent of iniquity, wcshould attempt to gloss over that in iniquity by giving names too smooth to express \ the truth. And we feel unwilling to retire from the contest into which we have been led, without giving our decided testimony against what it is impossible for us to regard in any other light than INJUSTICE, OPPRESSION AND ROBBE RY. Towards the state of Georgia and her au thorities we are conscious of no vindictive feel ings. It is our unceasing prayer that her trans gressions and the transgressions of our eountry tni n be forgiven, and those judgments of heaven averted, which there is too much reason to fear. VV e are yours with much esteem and affection, S. A. WORCESTER, ELIZUR BUTLER, i *We ought, here to say, that Mr. Wirt did not! give us any advice on the subject, preferring as he ! said, to sustain to us simply the relation of legal j counsel. This ietter developes the secret machinery that was at work to extricate Georgia from her ap parent difficulty with the Federal Government. Instead of boldly meeting the crisis armed in the panoply of State Rights and doubly fortified by the justice of the cause, our mystical Govern or, bows the dignity of the State to the humble attitude of supplication. This single act ofFx°cutive wisdom, has placed Georgia in a position that no patriot can look upon without shame and regret, no citizen con template without scorn and indignation. 'lnhere are many more things than Solomon enu merates that task our simple comprehension to its utmost. That by the by is not very surprising as we do not lay claim either to his wisdom or his experience. Among the many problems that have exercised cur ingenuity however, the fact of the Federal Union wielding the cudgel in behalf of his ‘obsolete’ Excellency in the matter of Turner’s resolutions, wears no little prominence. Had not the ‘mystical’ personage aforesaid here tofore so completely cut away by one sweeping sarcasm, th* whole circle of his ‘few and feeble auxiliaries’ we should not have been at all sur prised. The public would have been spared the the trouble of reading, and we the ink in record ing our amazement. The Federal Union admits that there has been a mistake and labors lustily with the Georgia Journal to prove that nobody committed it. Mr. Nobody we know bears a great portion of the minor offences of private households, but this is the first time that ws have heard of his placing a sacrilegious hand On the helm of government. The People should look to this interloper in the administration of their affairs. If Nobody fills the Executive chair at present it U high time that the vacancy should be nullified, and somebody placed in the empty tsat. The presentment of the Grand Jury of Rich mond oounty which wc have transferred from the columns of the Augusta Chronicle to our own, is worthy of all praise. YVe hail it as a harbin ger of that spirit of virtuous indignation which should pervade a free people, when their instruc tions have been disregarded, and their rights tram pled upon by an u nprin-ipled faction. We have been taunted by the organs of the Clark party as being averse to the reduction of our Legislature, simply because wo do not choose to receive it in 1 its present shape and that too from the hands of, our ancient enemies. But it seems that wo are j not the only ones whose eyes are opened to the j machiaveltan art* of those arch intriguants for i power. The people have commenced an investi- j gation into the matter for themselves. And what their judgment will be, there can be no drubt—! Ge should be glad to see the grand juries throughout the State follow the noble example set them by the jury of Richmond. Extract from the Grand Jury of Richmond county. “ The Grand Jury for the county of Richmond, for the second week of the Tetm, availing them selves of the right which belongs to them as a body, to give expression to the opinions which may be farmed by its members of the acts and dningg of public men, and public bodies of rnen within our State; and having had under conside ration the public acts of the Convention lately assembled at Mil l‘>dgevil!ed, and the principles on which that body have proceeded to make and ordain certain fundamental laws for the adoption of the good people of this State, hava come to the unanimous conclusion, that the principles which have influenced the Convention and the acts of that body, are in direct hostility with the spirit of our institutions and laws as a State, and contravene the very principles recognised by that instrument, on which our federal relations are based. The assumption by the Convention of turrit > ry and white population, and the right of taxa tion without equal representation, as principles to ho for the first time engrafted on the Consti tution of our State, demands of this body, as it does of every freeman in the State, an open ex pression of the indignant feelings which have been excited by the arrogant assumptions and wilful departure of the Convention from the pu rity and simplicity of our republican institutions. Tlie open violation of the principles on which are based cur federal relations and Stale institu tions, by denying to productive labor, through the medium of human agency, a concurrent re presentation in the councils of the State, demand* of this body, to stamp with the seal of reproba tion, a doctrine, the advocacy of which by Bri tish interests and British power, gave indepen dence to a nation. This Jury do raoft earnestly recommend to their fellow-citizens, that laying aside all party considerations, they will, at the proper time, ma nifest, tlieir just interest and claim to the pure and unsullied inheritance transmitted to them by the;r fathers, by refusing to ratify the public acts of the late Convention at Milledgeville. TIIE MONROE DINNER. On the 20th inst., tlie day previously desig nated to confer on the Hon. J. M. Berrien, i the honor of a public dinner by the citizens |of the county of Monroe, as approving his course in the anti-taritf Convention in No vember last. A large concourse of freemen assembled at Forsyth, between 0 and 800 in number, and partook of a splendid dinner.— The u: most harmony and good feeling pro vailed. We have received a copy of the re gular toasts given on that occasion, which we publish to-day. The spirit which they ureathe is worthy the character of the citizens of the first county in the State—first in point of population and wealth, and first in the res pectability and political integrity of its citi zens. We regret that we have not been fur : nished with the toasts and sentiments and addresses delivered : as soon a9they cotne to hand we will lay them before our readers.— We heard the meeting addressed by Jndgc Berrien anti Judge Strong, Gen. R. A. Beall, and M.B.l.aniar,Esq. andwhich were received with the most cheering plaudits. This was a I proud day for the friends of State Rights.— ! There were no proclamation or collar men— no consolidatiomsts or “ rat-i-fi-cationists to 1 be found there. REGULAR TOASTS. Our Country. —Vast in extent, rich in diver sified natural advantages, blessed with the hap piest political institutions. The vigilant maiute nnnee of those institutions in their purity and vi gour, is the tenure by which alone we may hope as a people, to hold and enjoy liberty, hap piness, and the favour of heaven. The Federal Constitution. —A covenant of U nion between free and sovereign States, each of which, in virtue of its sovereignty, is possessed of the right of preventing, within its limits, all exercises of power not stipulated !>y that cove nant; and each of which ceases to be free in pre cise proportion as it succumbs to federal arroga | tion of ondelegated power. The State of Georgia. —The land of our homes, onr dopes and affections.—With what high de termination have we ever fought under the ban ner of Slate Rights, when it has waved over a field of contest in which her peculiar interests were at stake?—With what loftier ardour should we not rush to its rescue, and bear it on to tri umph, now that it is threatened by the combined hosts of Consolidation on great and permanent questions, vital to the interests of tiie whole ! Sou tii? Our distinguished guest , the Hon. John McPhcr -1 son Berrien. —Called by the public confidence and ; admiratioh to many high trusts in the service of : hiscountry, he has ever adorned them all by his ! talents and virtues.—Monroe county will ever be j proud of the association of his name and services | with her struggles in thegreatcause of constitu j tional liberty. . ; Here Judge Berrien made a speech, which we ; expect to publish in our next : at the conclusion i of which he gave the following sentiment: — | Mr. Berrien’s toast. —The perpetuation of the Union and the sovereignty of the States of the j Confederacy—The one perfect, according to the j spirit of the Constitution—the other efficient to; Resist every violation of it. Save us from atar -1 mists, consolidationisu and office hunters; and j the problem which reconciles Federal Union ; with Slate sovereignty, though difficult of solu ! tion, may yet be solved. The right of State interposition against Federal j encroachments. —lt is the great paramount consor- l j vative right, without which, all the other right* of! I the States are merely precarious, and held at the 1 will of the Federal head. —In proportion to its i transcendantimportar.ee, ought we to be at once firnrtn maintaining it, and discreet in putting it in exercise. The Memory of Washington. —His character has purified the model and elevated the standard of human greatness through all coming time.— In him at length were realised a combination and perfection which antiquity vainly sought to at-1 tain, and for which the modern age had ceased to strive. » The Memory of T'.omas Jefferson. —His fame the most towering and illustrious that ha« ever stood forth to the world on the sole pedestal of civic greatne3*.--How many make a merit of at once extolling his name and trampling on his principles. The Memory of Benj. /VonJrAn.-—Venerable name,—to honor, which patriotism, science and philanthropy combine, and bis nco vies with his country. The heroes and sages of the Revolution.— Worthy compatriots of Washington, of Jefferson and of Franklin bright cxcmp'sis for all who shall in any age or country erect the standard of liberty a gainst tyrannic oppression. Hon. George M. Troup. —A patriot statesman, whose name issynonimous with ail that is pure, intrepid and triumphant, in ,ihe maintenance of the rights and sovereignty of Georgia. The Memory of Juhn Handotph of Roanoke. — The splendor and singularity of his genius were equalled only by the sternness and incorruptibili ty of his patriotic virtue—The grave has closed over him at a lime when his country could least spare a man, the like of whom she ne’er can hope to see again. The force Bill. —An act of Legislation by which our confederate government has assumed to pnt the sovereign states composing tiie confederacy on the same footing, subject to be dealt within the same manner, as hands of insurgents and out laws—An outrage which, unless rebuked and re paired by the stern indignation of a free people, must end in the long run, in consigning the coun try to eonsoiidation and ruin. Those of our delegation in the last Congress, who were true to the cause of State Bights.—Men wor thy of tse posts they occupied ; worthy of the highest confidence in the most trying situations. By the Committe of Arrangements.— The Mem ory of our deceasedJriend and fellow-citizen, Wil liam P. Henry. FRQH THE CHARLESTON MERCURY. PLBLIC MEETING. Pursuant to oublic notice, a Meeting of the STATE RIGHTS AND FREE TRADE PARI I, was held at the Circus, on Tues day Evening, to render the tribute of their respect to the memory of our distinguished fellow-citizen, the late ROBERT J. TURN BULL, Estt. The Hon. Henry De as, was called to the Chair, and W. P. Finley, Esq., appointed to act as Secretary. The object of the Meeting having been staled by the Chairman, in a brief and affecting address, upon the melancholy occasion for which it was convened, the Hon. C. J. Colcock rose, and in a very impressive maimer spoke as fol lows viz : \V e are met to do honor to a deceased friend | | and able compatriot in our late glorious strog. | gle. In discharging the duty which has been assigned to me, I must ask of you a moment’s indulgence to give utterance to my own feelings; lor cold indeed must be that heart which could be content with a mere formal discharge of such a duty to such a man —worse than cold must that heart be, which j having been so often cheered and animated in the glorious struggle for liberty, by his bold and powerful efforts in her cause—and delighted with the sweet intonations of a voice peculiarly adapted to the diversified course of his arguments—which would not freely and spontaneously join in doing hotn j age to his deeds, and honor to his memory. It is our duty to bow in submission to the decrees of Heaven, and we are instructed that from the severest dispensation of Provi dence vve may derive some useful lesson of instruction or find some consolation for our bereavements—let us endeavor to apply these truths to our present misfortune, in this passing effusion of respect and regard, it is not to be expected that lshould even attempt to do justice to tlie character of suen a man as our deceased friend. To complete his portrait would require not only a more gifted artist, hut more tunc than such an occasion can afford. In all that I can say at the pres ent, 1 well know that I shall find a ready res ponse in the bosom of every State Rights man, for he was ‘-the friend of freedom and the lriend of man.” Highly gifted by nature,* his mind was greatly improved by the most arduous and diligent application in his outset in life.—Thrown upon his own rcaourccs, he wss indefatigable in the discharge of his pro fessional duties—and scrupulously correct in the most minute details of business. By these means he soon acquired a reputation for business, and reaped the rich reward of diligence and virtue. In every department of life in which he acted he was a useful man.—But he never sought promotion—on the contrary, he evinced the purity of his mo tives l»v publicly declining all office—audit j was with the utmost difficulty that he could be prevailed on to take a scat in our late Convention. Asa politician, I think it is! not too much to say, he stood unrivalled in ourStatc—from a combination bfeauseshe was early led into a more deep research on political subjects, tiian most of our public men of his day. lie was charged with having abandoned his early principles and his partv —-this must ever be considered by impartial! judges, as the most honorable trait in bis! character, and it is that on which I should ! most delight to dwell, were this effort inten-j jdedasa lasting memorial of his greatness;! ! for, in the language of Mr. Knox, I will ven- j 1 ture to advance an opinion, which some may i think rather paradoxical, but is nevertheless! well founded. “The truest patriotism is not! to be found in public life. Selfish motives! commonly instignte the noisy votaries of am. bitiqn and'popularity. But what caninflu-; ence hitn who serves his country, in the re-! i tired and unobserved walks of private life f j i Ills motives must be pure—and he is a pat-! J riot. Men of fortune and dignity, who dwcl -1 ling peaceably in the habitation or their fath ers, set a good example, who endeavor to dis cover the true source of human happiness— whoare given to hospitality—ready to assist with their presence and their purse, in all | public business and useful charities, —Such j are truly patriots.” ' Mr. Turnbull had been by fortuitous cases, i early thrown into the ranksof aristocracy; brought up »t the feet of Gamaliel, it was not wonderful that he should have become his disciple. He was a Federalist of the old school, but his strong mind as it advanced in vigor, coon threw off the shackles of early , education and habits—be thought for himself, and in a time of profound tranquility, inves- [ tigated more deeply the nature and structure , of our government, the principles of political ( economy—and those sources from which hu. man happiness may bo derived in civil socio ty; and with a degree of frankness only e- , quailed by the ability which he displayed, . put forth to the world the recantation of his J early opinions in that unanswered and unan swerable production,* which will go down to , posterity as the most imperishable monument i of bis mental power. Then it liras that he I „ - .. t •The Crista. I came forth, like the sun from beneath th* cloud which for a time obscures his rays only to add to his brilliancy, brighter and moie distinguished than ever—nor can these early aberrations from the true faith obscure his po litical glorv, more than the faint spots on the face of that bright luminary, his cffulgency. But alas he is gone—Turnbull is no more. Affection sigiis and Carolina weeps; no more shall we be delighted by the brilliant strokes of his wit, producing their full effect, tho’evidently divested of all malice; no more shall we be instructed by the rich produc tions of his deep research,or electrified with the flashes of his genius, which like those of the lightning of Heaven were felt but could not be followed. No more shall we hear that glorious and citcering “(Jo on,” uttered by lips which arc warmed by the living coals from the altar oflibertv! But my friends let us not despair—our cause is just, and the wise and merciful dispenser ofall good may raise up some other who animated by his ex ample, and instructed by his wisdom, nuy devote himself to the causa with equal suc cess. Let me seize on this occasion to say to you that another contest is at hand, and I your opponents in full array ; you will soon be again sailed to the field—anil all that you have achieved must be done again—The war against the liberties of man are becoming more and more desperate and furious—and the friends of freedom must exert themselves, or we sink i orever, into tho gloom of despotism. In conclusion, Judge Colcock submitted the following resolutions : Resolved. That while in common with our fellow’ citizens, we deeply deplore the loss of i our valued and much tespecied friend and ; compatriot. ROBERT J. TURNBULL, we deem it our peculiat privilege and duty, to pay every tribute of respect to his memory. Whereas, it is a truth universally adimitid, that tiie greatest-good results to posterity, from a true and impartial representation of the virtues and talents of those men who have been eminently distinguished in society, and who by tlieir labours have assisted to ad vance the prosperity and happiness of man kind, and secure tlieir liberties from the iron grasp of tyranny. Resolved, That a Committe of seven lie appointed to procure some fit person to wiite and deliver (at some convenient season,) a Eulogy on the many virtues of our highly gif ted anil distinguished friend and fellow citi zen; and pourtraj in suitable language, his usefulness as a man—lns piety ns a Christian —his patriotism as a citizen, and his disin terested devotion to the cause of liberty and constitutional Government. Resolved, As the highest testimony of our regard and affection for our deceased friend, that we null one voice declare it as our opinion, that he was surpassed by no in dividnal of our party in the ardor and ability with which he sustained our glorious strug gle and that we snail ever hold him in onr re collection as a model of the purest virtue and patriotism. Resolved, That in testimony of our high regard and affection, the States Rights par ty here do wear crape on the left arm for 30 days, and that the party throughout the State be requested to join in this testimonial of our high respect. Resolved, That wc tender to his brreavpd family and friends, our sincere and heart felt sympathy, and that these Resolutions be published and transmitted to them. The adoption of the Resolutions was se conded by Ilis Excellency Gov. Hayne, who, in an eloquent eulogy, ponr'rayed the high and spotless character of our deceased fellow citizen—his ardent patriotism and inestima ble services. Gov. Hayne concluded by of fering the following Resolutions, in addition to those introduced by Judge Colcock, viz : Resolved, While we affectionately cherish the memory of ROBERT .1. TURNBULL, we will continue strennuously to maintain tlie great principles which he illustrated in bis ! w ritings, and to the establishment of w hich, his life was devoted. Resolved, That wc regard the death of John Randolph, of Roanoke, (almost cotem- 1 poraneously with that of Mr. Turnbull,) as a great national calamity, and that when two ' such burning lights arc extinguished togcthA er, it becomes the friends of State Rights to i exert increased activity and vigilance, and | to take care that the light of Liberty lie not j suffered to expire with those, who have so long! and so faithfully ministeredat her altars. | The question was then put by the Chair. ’ man, and the Resolutions adopted with the j most cordial approbation, and without a dis-! senting voice. The following Gentlemen were appointed! the Committee under the 2d Resolution, I viz :-*-Elias Horry, John Magrath, R. Barn-! well Smith,Edward Carew,!!. W. Pcronnc :u, t James Lvnah, Henry Iloriberk. The meeting was then adjourn*d. IIEN-RY DEAS, Chairman. W. P. Finlky,Secretary. We used to be thought Republican, and to be at least 3000 miles from the fetes and trap, ping of Royalty ; and the shout* of a degra ded and enslaved people. But our democra cy has become strangely diluted, and we are at this moment not over °.7 miles and a half from the scene of as much adulation and sy cophancy as ever the slaves of the old world paid to the Tyrants that lorded it over them. We protest, in the name of Liberty, and of that Democratic simplicity which is now converted into Royalty and its trappings, a gainst all this war upon simplicity, and the dignity of Freemen; and above all, against that irreverent spirit that would compare the ertranoe of a mere man, into a City, to that glorious spectacle when the eyes of the as sembled universe shall be turned to behold the glorification of-‘ the Saints made per fect.
