Ectaw is vet ori file, and shall appear soon Lucien sliall occupy the Poets corner in our next; together with several other editorial and original articles which shall claim our earliest attention. .Editorial Courtesy. The kindness and courtesy which most of onr brethren of die Press, have shewn us, by announcing our new paper, and in terms of friendship, demands our respect ful acknowledgements, and shall not he unappreciated when opportunities r< quire the same at our bands. Vilginia. The “ancient dominion” has not yet spoken through In r Legislature, on .Mr. Broadnax’s report. At onr last (lutes, it was under discussion, without any material change in it. Loiisress. The Report of Mr. Verplank is debating in Congress, and that body seems to have given its whole attention to the subject, and w ith an intention to dispose of it as early as practicable. So mote it be. TIIE PARDO AT OE TIIE VIISSIONA EiIFS. The reasons assigned by Governor Lumpkin for this ■extraordinary act, in a document published bv authority are if possible, more extraordinary than the act itself. These reasons are prefaced with a goodly number of “nhercas’s” which surely for n the beginning of every paragraph in all diplomatic & state papers. This potent word “whereas” when dexterously placed in a public document is of great utility—especially when the author is hard run for reasons, as manifestly appears in the doc ument before us. Among the reasons w hich it has pleased bis Excel lency to give for this singular exercise of the pardoning power are the following: That the Cherokee country is settled that the legislature lias divided the territory in to counties of convenient form and size for the objects of public justice ! That the Jaw is repealed under w hich the Missionaries were tried—that they have thrown ,hcms: Ives on the magnanimity of the state! That Gen- Jackson ardent friend o Slate has keen elected by an overwhelmning majority. There fore, he says, they shall “go free” no matter what may have been their errors—no matter w hat embarrassments and heart burnings they may have been instrumental in creating—however mischievous they may have been in working evil to the State, whatever spirit mav have ac tuated them—yet “it is enough that they submit the c:se to the magnanimity of the State,they shall therefore go free!!” Let us briefly review these reasons— First then, w hat lias the settlement of the tcrritorv,or its Icing divided into convenient counties for the objects of public justice to do with the pardon of these con victs? Docs tills fact lessen their guilt, or render their condemnation unjust? As well might his Excellency have assigned as a reason for pardoning them, that one county was named Lumpkin and another Forsyth. Again, another reason is that the law is repealed— , woes the repeal of a law, umU r which an offender is con victed, destroy his guilt?—lf so, how can his Excellent, cy reconcile it to Ins ideas of clemency to suffer some 80 or Oh convicts to remain in durance vile after the legis lature had abolished Penitentiary imprisonment—ls jus tice Such a respect* r of persons, that its principle will not apply to all similar cases, or does an if, alter the case,as it did between the lawyers ox. A: the farmers bull It wont do your Excellency, you must throw off the 1 c oak and state the true motive for your act, yon cannot 1 “mystify” the subject by such reasons as you have given 1 —an indignni* '-aaJe will not be satisfied with them, but again. ' 'appealed to the magnanimity of in, convicted felon within the walls of the Pcnitentiu, there, who would not readily appeal to the magnanimity o^ tllc s,a,0 > if I,c to ° ' vou,tl kc let loose upon society—aw V ' vilh s,lc!l jesuitical con. <luct. Docs his Excellency rcav’ 1 ) - believe that he can S'dl the people in this wav—is gasconading mes sages to the legislature upon this subject are not for gotten—either then lie was insinccr ’> or l |C bus set them free thro’ fear, lest he might be cal le «I upon to disclose lie cloven foot. For if we greatly err not, it will be found that the friends fiftlic President in Pennsylvania and No W-Yoik, they "ho lad frankly said to him “you cannot expect our countenance and supprot in coercing Carolina for rcsis- * !n g 'he tariff, while you let the Missionaries remain in *hcGeorgia prison unmolested—you cannot wink “at t'>c resistance of Georgia and coerce Carolina” —These friends of Jackson have had a finger in this matter. This is a prolific subject—but the length of this article ttdnionisiicg us to forbear for the present—it w ill be re turned at an early day, TIIE MISSIONARIES. The Editors of the Savannah Georgian, express their fegret at the remarks which accompanied the announce. - tiir.nt of tlic pardon of the Missionaries In our last, but f *.in to be much pleased at tho cxi tenre of the aet it self, and seem to think that we have erred in giving our opinion, that the release of these mischievous men will be disapproved by the people of Georgia. This may be so : but whether approved or disapproved by the people generally, it cannot be otherwise than highly derogatory to the dignity ol the State, for its Chief .Magistrate after the vaporing and gunpowder messages which lie had sent to the Legislature on this subject—after the threat that all the power with which he should he entrusted should be exercised to resist—suddenly, like the vary ing and inconsistent weathercock, to chop round and point his course in an opposite direction, and this too, lor no oilier intclliguble reason, than simply because these convicted missionaries wrote him a letter that they would prosecute tlie a| peal no longer; as if their guilt consisted in entering the appeal, not in a w ilful violation of our public laws. Rut the letter, aye the letter! that prelude to the swelling act, is believed to have been the r csult of a manoeuvre en irely unsuited to the character of a chief magistrate of the State, obtained to soften the indignation of an insulted people. The pardon of these missionaries at the present eventful crisis, cannot but be unfortunate to the interests of the south, since it will induce the folks at Washington to believe that Georgia has lowered her tone upon the subject of State Sovereignty and right of jurisdiction. Happy indeed "'ill be for us, it this act of the Governor does not also give a spur to an early interference with our right of occupancy to the Cherokee Territory. No man is so much of an idiot as not to see that his Excellency in this matter has lent himself and his official prerogative, to those who are opposed to the exercise of State action against encroachments upon State sovereign ty, and to subserve the views of those who would rejoice to see a sister State struggling to maintain southern rights pressed to the wall. This is most obvious, and if evidence of tins lamentable course of hia Excellency were w anting, by referring to those presses which are in support of the tariff, who oppose rcsistanee to federal usurpation—and who applaud the President’a proclanta t. on, abundant proof could be furnished. It would be gratifying to have the approval of ourco temporaries to cheer us on our way. Tnc regret expressed by our friends of the Georgian at oili opinions we are sorry to see—but we cannot change them because they do not approve of them, they are honestly entertained and fearlessly expressed—to truckle to others, comports as little with the character of an editor as with the of ficial dignity of a Chief Magistrate. The following from a Boston paper, will show the feelings of that section of the country, in relation to the powers of Congresi;and the late Proclamation of the Pre sident—Opinions are already’rife that Congress may legislate over our slave property —& the only contin gency to the exercise of this unwarrantable power is whether the Southern Stales will sustain S. Carolina in the opposition to the oppression of the Gen. Government. Has it come to this? If South Corolina should not be sustained, then the next slep is to control directly our slave property—Let the people of Georgia look to it— timely, look'to it—or before they arc aware of it their slaves may be freed : Touching tlic Wound! T lie following is from the last Boston Oonjmcr ci tl Gazette. Look to it!—There is TRUTH in it! We shall come to that point anon! “The Washington correspondent of the New- York Commercial Advertiser, writes thus in his let ter:—“To return to the Message.—Whilst it has given oflence to the manufacturing States, its lan guage, though equivocal, is understood as a declara tion of war against S- Carolina; and as such it has given no small degree of alarm to the slave-holding interests, who think they see, in the overthrow of the position which South Carolina Ims assumed, the es tablishment of a principle which will give to the Fcdral Government a legislative controui over the question of slave property.”—We heard an intelli gent gentleman say, the other eveing, that he should not be at all surprise if the position assumed by South Carolina, should finally lead to the emancipa tion of her slave population: especially if the other Southern States did not sustain her in her opposition to the oppressions of the General Government!'’ Augusta Chronicle. Gen. Blair ol Soutli-Carolina. A remark attributed to this highly Chivalric member of Congress frjtri Soutli-C.irolina, is going the rounds, as ytt uncontradicted by him, viz: “ That he would go home, and arm his slaves.” We w’ere at first disposed to consider this a base calumny—believing as we did, that no Southern man, much loss a member of Congess from tlic South, could harbor such a sentiment: But bis silence, under the imputation, and his recent conduct at the Theatre at Washington, justifies us in the opinion of the entire recklessness of his character, and induces a belief, that lie is capable of “arming his slaves” a gainst his neighbors.—Such a man, capable of uttering the sentiment imputed tc Gen. Blair, deserves a M v iiojiitan method of advancement, instead ot enjoy ing a scat in the ronncLs of the nation, a hempen chord, as it would be the most cogent, so it would be the most effectual argument for such a recreant w'rctcb as this man must be, if he uttered the sentiment imputed to him. Duff Green has another statement respecting Gen eral Blair, which wc subjoin.—Whether it be cor rect or not, remains to be seen. “General Blair, of South Carolina,” says the Telegraph of Saturday, “entered the theatre in this city, night before last, armed with four pistols and two dirks. During the progress of the play, he deliberately drew one of the pistols and tired it—the ball striking the stage very near where Mr. Palmer and Miss Jefferson were standing. The ofliccrs of the house threaten ing to remove him by force, lie promised t hat, if they would permit him to remain, he would behave like a gentleman; but in a few minutes attempted to draw another pistol; being remonstrated with, he left the stage box, and took one of the front scats, when he deliberately drew another pistol, cocked and point ed it at the stage. The actors and audience de manding it, he was then digarmed, and dragged by force from his seat; upon reaching the loll', he drew I offhis coat and played the bully in true * * ‘style. STATE RIGHTS The doctrine that this is a “ National ,” not a “ Feder al" government, cannot be sustained by a single feature ! in the constitution, or, a solitary fact connected with its j history. The Declaration of Independence declares in : language, too pointed and emphatic to be mistaken, that uc “ are, and of right, ought to he,free end independent \ States; and that as free and indr/wndent States, uc have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things, which independent States may of right do.” This is the origin of our existence as Sovereign States, and upon the idea of this sovereignty was our Lhtion lormed. Me are to date our seperate, free and distinct existence, as sovereigns, from the declaration of Inde pemlence. If we were not so, why have made the de claration ? If wc were not such before that declaration was made by the Colonies,wc became so, eo instanti, up on its adoption. If we were not free, seperate and inde pendent States, why have proposed and effected an Union of the States ? If we were always one people, could a Union have altered our condition and character as a Nation ? Ami is not the idea of an Union of an united people perfectly absurd and repugnant to tlic plainest reason and most common understanding) If we were sovereign and independent, each State acting for itself, as the declaration of independence asserts us to have been, it follows to the most perfect demonsta tion, that upon the voluntary association which wa foTmed between the States, that they could surrender such powers as they pleased ; and unless it can lie shewn that the States surrendeied all powers, which, as sovci eigns, they then enjoyed, it cannot he denied that the powers granted by the States in trust to the Federal government can he resumed at their will- and pleasure, whenever, in their several opinions, the trust has been violate 1 and abused. A State may transfer certain of her powers or bind herself to suspend their exercise, without impairing her right to be considered a “ free’ sovereign and independent State.” If a contrary doc trine is to be established and enforced at this day, then there is not a sovereign power, in the Universe—for all Empires, Kingdoms and States, surrender by Trea ties and Alliances certain powers, and bind themselves not to exercise certain rights, upon certain conditions expressed or implied, which by the law of nations does not impair their s'oveieignty. Thg late inconsistent political movements of the State of Georgia appears to have rendered her a übjeet of much severe ridicule in almost every quarter of the LYiion. Shelias long been known as one of t o first of’the Southern States, in throwing herself upon her reserved rights and succesfully act ingupon them, when her rights and liberties have been infringed upon by the general government.— It is perfectly ridiculos, and astonishing to see the efforts made by some ofher politicians to thwart the course of South Carolina when wo reflect that these very men are great advocates for state sovereignty when the rights of Georgia are invaded by unau thorized power of the General Government. It is more than lamentable that at this crisis we should find men, who arc willing to sacrifice the in terest of their country, for the mere gratification of personal spleen. Such motives are utterly unwor thy the man of a high sense of honor at any time; but in these eventful times, they resolve themselves in the greatest criminality. Although we observe such gross inconsistencies existing in Georgia, yet we do believe that it is altogether confined to a party, and that the opposi tion made in that Slate to the course of her sister State, would in the hour of trial be forgotten—and we should find her heart and hand united in common, with her aggrieved sisterhood.—Al. Jeffersofian. From the fi inner of the Constitution. To the Friend*, of Slate Rights and Free Trade Ihronghont tlic Union. The Editor of‘.his paper has, within a short time, re ceived more than one hundred letters, from different quarters, expressing regret at the proposed discontinu ance ot tlic Bannt r, at this momentous crisis, and, manv ot them, urgently pressing him to continue for a longer term, his humble labors for the restoration of the true principles of the Constitution. In this city, similar de sire has been expressed, but a more general scope to political inquiry is wished for, than the limits ofa week ly paper will allow, and the plan ofa daily and tri-week ly paper has been suggested, to be pledged to the main tenance of the principles which have heretofore her n advocated by the Banner, with such admixture of foreign and domestic news, commercial intelligence, literary and miscellaneous selections calculated to improve the minds of men and promote the interest of socictv, as is usually found in a daily paper. Influenced by these considerations, and more espe cially by the alarming doctrines contained in the Presi dent's Proclamation, some of which, in our estimation, are wholly subversive of the principles upon which our liberties and institutions arc founded, the Editor lias re solved to offer for tlic consideration of the friends of State Rights and Free Trade, wheresoever dispersed, the tender of his services in such an undertaking, pro vided, that a sapport can ho secured, which will enable him to carry on the enterprise, without a possible risk of its failure. Sueli a paper as is proposed, would be open to the free discussion of all political questions which in terest the American People, without being hound to support or condemn an Administration, right or wrong, and it would be especially devoted to the examination of those great questions of Constitutional Law and Lib erty, upon which the public sentiment is now so un- happily divided, with the view of bringing popular opinion into that state of harmony and concert which is n< ccssai v to perpetuate the Union, upon tlic principles of justice, and the equal rights of the States, and which, indeed, must precede any amendment to tlie-Constitu tion, proposed with the view of settling the disputed powers of the Federal Government, it would he pub lished as soon as it was ascertained, and not before, that sufficient patronage would be afforded to secure its permanent establishment, which might possibly be by the fourth of March; and it would contain all the impor tant State Papers and Documents relating to the impend ing crisis, which may appear between this period and that, in order that the subscribers to the Banner, who may patronize the new undertaking, may possess a con licctcd history of events. In thus placing ourselves again before the public, as a candidate for their patronage, wc wish it tn-be dis tinctly undcrsiood, that we set [up no claims upon the scoro of past services; that wc shall embark in the en terprizc ns a matter of business, and that,as we intend , to perform our part rltlio engagement, we shall expect others to pcrforui Heirs. Payment of one years sub scription, on receipt of tho fust number, will he nit in dispensable condition, and those who arc not prepared to do that, are not invited to subscribe. The experience ot tile last few years has taught us a lesson which w e must profit l>v, or be again disappointed. We have this day outstanding, an amount nearly equal to one third ol all the subscription to the Banner, for the whole three years of its publication. W bethel or not tins attempt will succeed, remains to be seen. It will depend more upon others than ourselves. We could select from our presi nt list of subscribers five hundred gentlt men, any one hundred of whom, if they should be of the opinion that such a paper as the owe of which a Prospectus is annexed, »ught to be established .North of the Potomac, could settle the matter in tw* nty four hours : and to give all an opportunity, who may wish to lend their aid to the enterprize, we hereby offer to pay the postage on all Jetti rs transmitting the names office or more responsible subscribers, to the tri-weekly or daily paper, if put into the Post Office before the Ist o! March next. Should the Tariff be materially reduc ed at the present session ol Congress, it is easy to fore see, that all casualties at the North, resulting, in the m xt tew years, from bad speculations, ov* r-trading, ex cessive issues of banks, the devastations of the cholera, failure of crops, and Western floods, and every other imaginable cause, will be ascribed to the overthrow of the American System; and such appeals will be made to the ignorance, prejudices and passions of the people, ag will produce a reaction in publia sentiment, unless the incans of enlightening the community upon their true am! lasting interests, are kept alive. In any event, how ever, this proposal will show at least a dispesition on our mi.", and thatoftho few friends of State Rights and Free Trade in tfic good cause; and whether it meet with ac ceptance or not, it shall not diminish our attachment to the great principles for which wc have so long contend ed as essential to Liberty, The Constitution, and The Union. From the Columbia Telescope. \\ e have once more the a grand issue of presiden tial and ministerial promises: more hopes t l an equi table adjustment—a sort of perpetual political to morrow, always at hand, that never arrives: a kind of political millenium, that every prophet announ ces. as just coming: a species of horizon, that shifts as fast as wc follow it. N’o one can have forgotten the confidence—nay, violence of assertion, with which Mr. M’Laric aiid all his minions of the Treasury, from Col. Drayton down to the lowest ribbald that takes the presiden tial pay, insisted—swore, last summer, that the Ta riff was reduced down to the Revenue Standard— that 12 millions had been taken off See the Charles ton Patriot, the Richmond Enquirer, the Globe, Col. Drayton, Mr. Register Smith, and all the rest. Now, what have we? Before the Tariff of 1832 has even been tried; and after the grand pension system has gone into operation,* that must already take several millions from the Treasury, we have, in a proposal by the Secretary, to reduce the Tariff C millions more, a clear avowal that all the former statements that he bus given are utterly false! But a reduction ol fully 11, not 0 millions would he necessary to bring down tlic Revenue to the wants of the government. They calculated 10 mil lions, as its necessary expenditures, not 10. Asa fair diminution of the duties received, too, increases the importations, it will not do to tell us that a re duction of the imports, by one fifth, will produce one-fifth less Revenue. Half the present rates would probably, in a few years, produce as large an in come as the present taxes. Thers is no question that 10 pret. advalorem duties would give quite enough for the support of the government, between S) and 10 millions; and there is the income from the public lands, besides. * Already are there according to advertisements from the V, ar Departmeut 12 000 applicants, Affairs al Washington. M e are indebted to the correspondent of the Cou rier & Enquirer, who calls himself “the spy at \\ ashington,” for an uncommonly interesting view of the posture of things in that city. The letter is correct in its principles as interesting in its details. “M ho is at liberty to doubt, whatsoever may be the extent ol his devotion to Gen. Jackson, that per sonal hatred of Messrs. Galhoun, McDuffie, Hayne, and Hamilton, was the animating spirit o! the Proc lamation? Who will contend that but for this ha tred, the Proclamation would have been issued at all? Isit less obvious, that the President thirsts for an opportunity and an excuse for invoking the bay onet ? I hat scenes of blood and carnage, are con genial with his tastes, and that he pants for strife? \\ hy otherwise, should he have so timed his proc lamation, as to darken the dawning light which his Message had produced? Why might he not have waited to see, if that Message would not have calm ed (I c waves, and suspended the Ordinance until a remote day? Why not have delayed hut a few days for Congress to act? His tolerance of Georgia Nul lification—the eternal evidence of his conduct his violent menances in conversation, all proclaim the true answer, lie was afraid lest the nulli/iers, sat isfied with the hopes held out by his Message, might retreat from the position they had taken. He was afraid that Congress in a great patriotic impulse, might come so ward, and by reducing the Tariff to Revenue, pacify the country, and that thus would he snatched from him the opportunity of bringing the known and nearly unanimous repugnance of the nation to nullification, to bear upon Mr. Calhoun, and forever crush that detested individual.” PROPOSALS FOR Enlarging and Improving THE SOUTHERN BANNER, A Paper now published Weekly in Athens, Geo. rapid increase of population, wealth and intelli- JsL go nee of Westeyn Georgia, have prompted the Editors of the “Southern Banner,” in order to keep pace with the improvement of the times—to lay before their friends and patrons the following proposals . I'hey intend about the first of February next, to pub lish the “ Banner” on a large imperial sheet—not infe rior in size or style of execution, to any now published in the State—for the accomplishment of which purpose, they have ordered from New York an entire new set of materials. The Editors derm it unnecessary at this late day, to enter into a minute detail of their political erred—they would deem it hut a work of supererogation. Suffice it to say, their best efforts will always he directed (hy dis seminating correct principles, religious, moral, and po !itica!),to the advancement of the interest, honor ami happiness of the people—particularly that portion of them comprising tile Western and North Western sec* tion of the State ; and to wnotn they mainly look for patronage ami support. I lie patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but not sufficient in meet the increase of expenditure that must necessarily occur, in ( ffecl.tlic improvements con templated. They are sanguine, howeve r in the hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that sup. port and encouragement, upon which they alone must | rely, for the successful accomplishment of an undertak ing so responsible.

January 23 2—ts GEORGIA : By Wilson 1, mfkin. Governor and C tramander in Chief u the Army and Navy of this State, and the Militia thereof CHARLES C. MILLS, Esq. Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary. UT H ERE AS at a Superior Court, held in and for tho county of Gwinnett, at the September Term, lSgl, Samuel A. Worcester mid Elizur Butler, were convicted of illegal residence within the Terril ry ofthis State, then in habited almost exclusively by the Cherokee Indians, and such oil,or persons as were unfriendly to the rights and inte rest of the Stales, whereupon they were sentenced to four years coilfinemei t in the Penitentiary of this Stale. » And whereas sound policy has since the confinement of said persons, induced the constituted authorities of the State to provide by law, lor ihe legal settlement of tho unoccupied part of said Territory, by a free white poimlation—and hav ing provided fur the organization of said Territory into e Ho lies of suitable form and size, for the convenient and regular administration of public justice, and the due ex ecution of thd laws of the State. And the Legislature beiirr assured at their late session, that under exislimr arraijir,’ mei IS, which were daily going into execution, the country would shortly contain a sufficient number of well qualified inhabitants to carry fuily into effect, these severs l oluccts— did therefore repeal the law, under which the said Samuel A Worcester and Elixur Butler were convicted and sentenced' as aforesaid. And whereas the said Samuel A. Worcester f.nd Elizur Butler, have made known to me, that thev itave instructed their counsel, William Wirt and John Sergeant 'Enquires to prosecute the case w hich they had thought fit, to inslituto before the Supreme court of the United States, armitist tlm Stale of Georgia, no furthku. But have concluded, ‘to LEAVE THE QUESTION OF TitEIR CONTINUANCE, AND CONFINE MENT TO THE MAGNANIMITY OF TIIE STATE.” And moreover, taking into consideration, the earnest soli citude for the release of these individuals, which has been communicated te me, in the most friendly and respectful manner, hy many of the most distinguished friends of the State, residing ill various parts of the Union—amongst whom are many of those, who have sustained the State and her au thorities, throughout this unpleasant controversy. /.,,d taking into view, the triumphant ground, which the State fi nally occupies in relation to this subject, in tho eyes of the nation, as has been sufficiently attested, throu<di various channels, especially in the recent overwhelmino-'i-c-elcciien of President Jackson, the known defender of the'ri'rhts of the State throughout this controversy. And now believing as 1 do, that not only the righto of the State, have been fully and successfully vindicated and sus tained in this matter, but being assured as 1 tun, that the Slate is free from the menace of any pretended power what ever, to infringe upon her tights, or control her will jn rela tion to this subject. Ami above all other considerations, the magnanimity of Georgia being now appealed to—l therefore, as the organ of the State, feel bound to sustain the generous and liberal character of her people. Whatever may have been the errors of these individuals— whatever embarrassments and heart burnings, they m ty nave been instrumental in creating—however mischievous they tnay have been, in working evil to the State, to themselves, and the still more unfortunate Cherokces- and w hatever tr.ay have been the spirit, which hss influenced them to tho course they have pursued—and however obstinately they tnay have adhered, to the counsel of their employers, aiders, &. abettors. Yet the present state of things is such, that it is enough—that they tubmit the case “to the magnanimity of the Slate.” They shall therefore go free. Ami KNOW YE, that for and in consideration of all the foregoing circum stances, and many more which might be enumerated l have thought proper to remit, and do by virtue of the power vested in tneby tiic constitution, hereby remit, the further ex ecution! of| thesentenee of the Gourt against the said Samuel A.
