if he did, would come and say, very politely,
that he had uo hit.;.i.on to treat the Supreme
Court with contempt or disrespect— that he
was only obeying a statute, of his own JSuto,
which it was his duty to obey—that, that dis
claiming all contempt the Supreme Court
could not punish him, but must discharge'lirtai;

my writing to you, or to the Missionary Hoard,

He said that the Missionaries themselves,
Considering all the moral influence of public
opinion as attained by the decision of the
Supreme Court, had been disposed to accept
a conditional pardon last Spring—but were
p evented by the Hoard at Hoslun, who ad
vised them that to accept a pardon, would be
to ada.lt tiieirguilt; Winch he seemed to con

Is it worth .. tide to communicate this letter
to the Hoard of Misstoiiar.es at Huston? If so,
vou are welcome to send it on.
Meantime, let m ■ know what you think ol
the mutter. It seems tome that it is a ease
for our clients and the Hoard of .Missions.—
.Mr. F. says that the pardon if granted will be
unconditional, and be sent not to Missiona
ries, but to the keeper of the Penitentiary,
who will have instructions to discharge them.
This lie said in reply to a suggestion from me,
that I did net believe they would accept a

Please to acknowledge the receipt of this,

In communicating the above to Mr. Potter
at Milh’dgcville, Mr. Wirt wrote —‘‘As this
is a matter in which the liberty and reputa

feelings, and the judgment of their Boston
friends, are the best advisers. 1 would prefer
to remain merely in the professional Charac

Just before our release, a friend of ours,
who js in the confidence of the .Governor,
mentioned to him the assurance which Mr.
Forsyth had given to Mr. Wirt, respecting
our release, in case of withdrawing our suit;
and remarked that he did not know that Mr.
F. was authorized to give sncli assurance ,' to
wltidh the Governor replied, “ lie was At'-
thokizbd.” There is an appearance of in
consistency between this and Mr. F's. state
ment, but I suppose Mr. F. only uv ant that
he hail no authority to do any thing in the
Governor's name, and the Governor did not
mean that he had.—You will notice that Mr.
F’s interview with the Governor was ‘'about
three weeks” before tho ‘J'Jd of December.
1 have given you Mr. Wirt’s account of
Ilia conversation with .Mr. Forsyth, because it
seemed to contain such information as you
wanted, and not because it really affected
our decision in the case, for our minds were
nearly made up before we received it, except
as we were waiting for the opinion nndrea

advice, which accorded with our own views,
was written and forwarded to us bofoie they

Your Friend,
S. A. WORCESTER.
laie Executive Message of the Cherokee Go
vernor, w hich we published in our last, is a doc
ument of much interest to the people of Georgia.
It evinces a determination on this part of thixln
dian leaders to embroil, if possible, the State of
Georgia in a conflict with the General Govern
ment, It declares in plain terms the opinion en
tertained of the acta of Georgia, in extending her
jurisdiction over tho land within her limits : and
it sets fortli very plainly, that the possession of
the Cherokee territory is any thing but a peacea
ble one. There is one feature in the production,
however, that challenges our gratitude _to its au
thor; the expression of their firm reliance on the
ptovisions of the enforcing bill, to sustain their
violated rights. J5 r e took occasion, when that
bill cf abominations w as about being rocorded on
our statute book, to intimate our apprehension,
that its tyrannical decrees might ultimately visit
their vengeance upon our own Inrads. The doom
of Cassandra rested on our prophecy. A portion
of our own people clamored loudly in its praise:
tiSenator of our own State supported it by his
vote, and a Representative of tho people, profes
sing to shadow forth the will of those who con
fined on him the privilege of a seat in our national
councils, recorded l,is vote too in its favor. We
were told it was for refractory Carolina, and that
Georgia would never be subjected to its opera
tion, Jf ii were n;l tite intention of its framers,
covertly u eu’ist tho Strength of the i. Moral Go
vernment, in the support of the ridiculous as
tump lions, of independence set torth by the
Chcrokees, we coi fees ourselves mist-l.cn. 1 hat
the Cherokees believe the law of Congress com
petent to avail them in their attempt to disregard
the jurisdiction of the laws of Georgia, no man
can doubt, who reads that singular document,—
IV hence, we would ask, -this unwavering faith In
the potency of that law, if they had not been in
firmed of iis object. If such a construction had
escaped the scrutinizingeyu of those, whose duty
it wasto guard faithfully theinttfests ofd’° f c;> *
pie they professed to represent, how could the Il
literate savage so understand it* It misinterpreta
tion of tlm fifth section of that bill did not present
itself to the cultivated mind ami polished under
standing of Georgia’s Senator, by what unknown
process of rcaeuniog has it become so manifest to
' tho uuenlightt.ncd intellect of the untutored In
dian chief.
No argument is needed now to enforce to tm*
people of Georgia, the position that the construe
lieu es tho hilt Ui repeal thu C-nautuiion, a* i l

too is a legitimate one. that its fraT.nrsand ad vo
| cates were a warn ~f such an iateutijn. if such
j was not ite object, it \vas intended only as a me
nace to she patriotic citizens of South Carolina,
to prevent their resisting an unconstitutional ex
ercise of power, how great was the over-sight
that permitted its passage without restricting the
dangerous latitude in its provision, which would
permit tlm GenerahCuvernoicnt to enforce the
decisions of the Supreme Court against the State
of Georgia. Herfc our Representatives dnpod
into its support! If so, it argues little for their
penetration. Did they vote for its’passage with
\a~fu!l knowledge of what.weald he its ultimate
operation 1 If so, how basely have they betrayed
the interests of the people U was their duty to
protect. In either case, arO they safe repositories
for the confidence of tlm people of Georgia I It
is true that wc cannot now prevent the mischief,
hut we may arreslits further extension. Thu on
ly remedy now left in our hands is, to evince our
determination, to support the authority of the
Law* of the .State, and to do it in a. prompt and
spirited manner. The piesent head xis our Gov
enimenthas declared that he ••wilt not ng.cTt cup.’
Which, wo take to mean this, if the Indians insl*’
gated by their own romantic notions of sovereign
ty and independence, shmrlj set op their- claim
to the lands, and put at defiance'the authorities of
Geoigia, he will ini. ape Tr up in maintaining
the boner anj dignity of the State, and asserting
tliii supremacy-of her laws over the unconstitu
tional act-, of tlm Federal Government. Need tve
impress it upon the people of Georgia how uR
important to tlfeir own Interest it is therefore, to
wrest the Executive tranche it from i hand so lit.
tie able to wield it, and place in the itrmer'gr-sp
of one who would c rtainly .he disposed to ape
Troup, in this momentous particular. If Wilson
Lumpkin then is no-longer disposed- to consult
the welfjtro of the Slatb, (and we know of no sin
gle instauee in the long course of his feeble ad-
litre lie has once evinced ihi ■ mag*
naiiimous purpose, albeit he has vapofed loudly

time that lie should be elected to iistire from a sta

necessity be performed.

Mksshs. Eurrons.—When Congress parsed
what is commonly called the Compromse

stunned with the cry es Mollification and
Disunion. 1 thought peace would be restor
ed to our or.ee happy country : Whose fault
is it that it ,3 not so ? Ido not think ii bus
'uecu the fault of the Nuliifyers of Georgia;
for a large majority of them have been willing
to let tiiematter rest, believing the country
required repose, Hut their adversaries still
kept up the cry, and it helion and them to snow
to t.ie world l.,at they are not contending for
any new-found or new-tangled doctrine, but
tor tue good old Republican doctrines ol ’su
and ’UU, as pleached and practised from that
day to this, not by Geergia aigi tiputli-Curo-
Ima alone, but by many other States and in
dividuals.
'To prove this it is my intention to collect

Ist. Resolve, l, That the several staist compos,

tho principle of unlimited submission lo die general
government; but that by a compact under the style
and title of a constitution for. the United Slates, and
of amendments thereto, they conadtuled a geueral
government for special purposes, delegated to that
government certain definite powers, reserving each
state to itself, the residuary mars of right to tlieii*
own self.govcrntr.ent; and that whenever the genc
rufgovcrnpient Asstuss undelcc tzd powers, its
acts ace UNACTUoitiTATiVE, voio and of no force ;
that to this compact; each state acocded .as a state,
and is an integral party ; its co-stales forming as to
itself, the other party; dial tho government created
by this compact was not made the exclusive or final
judge of the extent oflho powers delegated to itself;
since that would have made its and seretion and not
the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but
that os in all other Cases of compact among powers
having no common judge, each i-artv has an equal
rigid to.judge for itseli, as well of infractions as of
the mode and measure of redress.".

“ That the principle and constitution contended

The report from which the above exlraots

amongst the wildest of the Carolina Nullifi
ers, 1 have not seen it.
1 think we m;:y sufoTy affirm, that in theo
ry wc equal our neighbors, and that in practi
cal Nullification we are far uhcad. It may
be said that the above report only asserted
abstract rights ; 1 find upon examination that
it went furl her, for they adopted the South-
Carolina resolutions of 1 bJ7—in one of which
they say it is not only the right hut the duty
of the local legislature* to interfere.*
I believe I may here .safely rest my case,
for if I have not proven that Nullification oi
State Interposition is not a modern discovery,
hut ori the contrary, claimed at limes by near
ly half the states in the union, it could not
be proven “though one were to rise from
the dead.”
MUSCOCEE CORN-rLANTER.
* It was not t rs deemed criminal to adopt tin.
SoutU-CaToiina doctrines,
Mr. Lumpkin has been at least consistent
hr lira mponsisL Ley. Since fie lias been b.>
lore tin public he lias been constantly “stu
dious of change,” and there is no one ques
tion of public policy that his engaged tiie at.
tcntipii of tho country for juars past, but that
fins had this most versatile on huth sides, il
wuujd be too tedioos tor us Jo enumerate all
.ofour Governor’s heresies—let any one in
terested iu jits biograuhv, review liis boa«lcti
“puhiic services,”aml they will find that to
no one measure has lie ‘liteti constant. ' Nev
er was there’ c man, who slood inure hi need
of llio apothgem "know (lip self," than WiUon
Lumpkin.
Ills fiicnds with a Lliml fatuity Imre rc
cotumeuded him on the score of Ins “public
s :;vines.” The oil’s iousih ss of “these
good Matured friends” must be excessively
annoying to his Esceuftncy. This is making
the thing too palpable, too much ot a d.bu
und credit— xper contra kind of bust,.css.
Hu would much prefer that his emissaries
shoqld .be oblivious of the past, and hold out
to view his aptitude lor change, his ability
to accommodate !iims;. !l to the creed, or prin
ciples of tiny man, scl of lien, 11 jiarty what
soever. l!y proper ar.d dtscrci t manage
inent piosctyfcs may- perhaps yet be made
J/o/*- is-tfie pObulunt\ tlitiliuug food of the
polstKiian.- The Governor has been every
tiiibg by turns*; what lie now is, oxcCeds ul.
human ken. He may ho (vital lie once was—
-a good nu'.iifii r ; lie nuiy he (perhaps lie is.)
w tint he once u<:x —a Tariff man ; hemay be
c.ngain what lie lias been —an ahti-Jaqluon
uiah : he may be again what he once pro
fc'sseil to habe beet.—a dcmocrct. There is
Hiti::: f.»r all eif eti ry line, tlye and shade oi
tiiinl.iop, to kojte toe Governor may ouod.-iy
agree with iiim “the Ncilificr, tiie Subtnis
sionist,, the Tariff ami - Anti-Tariff, IHo Jack
son aiid Anti-Jacksorl man, the Federalist
ami Democrat—all, all havo grounds for
hope. Tli.co.dy difficulty is, that likctfcit
taiii little insect, the Governor is never sta
tionary long enough to lay your hand on him
—like tiie man’s «ihi he!loti ox, you can hear |
him frequently, but you can never Slid him.
