damns, the State Judge woulduyt obey it—or, 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; and the remaining two years of the Missiona ries must expire whilst this process was going on; that 1-must sec we could not get alonn without the support of the President; and ] knew as well as he, whether wc had any re son to count on his support.

Ho had no objection to my writing to you, or to the Missionary Hoard, all that bad passed betweens Us, and to men tion bis name. 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 sider toully uniouiided.

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 ■pardon in any shape. Please to acknowledge the receipt of this, arid let me have your opinion.

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 *-r justly ttjißtd, wrjitvli threatens oitf GEORGIA TIMES, ASM STATE RIGHTS’ ADVOCATE. with the iut -rvenlftjfi of Federal power ty support the Indians, is the correct one: and ij, ; idfcnruce 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 about magnanimity,) We certainly think it high time that lie should be elected to iistire from a sta tion, where this very disagreeable duty, must of necessity be performed.

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.
