JOHN RIDGE’S LETTER.
I We would recommend to those who harp so
(much upon the Cherokee Treaty, and the injus
! , jone the Indians in removing them West, an
■artentive perusal of the letter from John Ridge,
Ito be found amongst our domestic matter. It
■/m-t undoubtedly put a stop to their clamor if any
Idlin'.' can, and end their unnecessary and uncalled
|„r petitions, lmles'ithev are determined to oppose
|,.s pi every subject right or wrong.
OUR GOVERNOR.
I We last week presented to our readers tlio letter
|r f the .Secretary of State of the U. S. to the Gov
|rnors of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
|x'orth Carolina, in relation to the removal of the
B’herokces, together with the patriotic reply of
Hhwernnr Gilmer. We this week lay before our
Hm'ioiis two letters of the Governor on the same
BtJ.jrct, one addressed to the Georgia Delegation
Hu Congress, aud the other to Col. Dawson.
I Wo solicit an attentive perusal of these letter-,
show clearly, the independence of Gov-
Bnor Gilmer, and will satisfy every man, no mat
■ rto what party ho may belong, that the rights
H | |i!)or(ies of Georgia will never he trampled up-
B in the keeping of such a man ; and the
H. li .' l i ) ies of the Smith will fmd that in order to
Brest from MS Pur rights and liberties, they will
Bi ivtsto walk over the body of Georgia's Goveru-
Bir. as well ns thousands who will stand by him as
■ mg ns a drop of blood flows through their veins,
Bde; thum try it whorTtbey choose,
I While wo can but admire the independent course
BimMO'd by the editor of the Constitutionalist to-
Buds his political (Vends who have gone counter
B" die interests of Georgia in relation to the re-
B iof the Cherokoes, we rogret that he should
B led to us.' remarks calculated to idled tho fair
B .'iilmg of our faithful and talented Rcpresenta-
B , t and, Wm. C. Dawson, in the. estimation of
Bin'people of Georgia, w hen lie was the first to
the dangerous and unprecedented mea-
B ,)r " °f Fan Huron, and would hope that the edi-
remarks were not penned through any ip)-
ami improper motives.
1 Wo do not notice the remarks of the C'onstitu-
merely because Col. Dawson is of the
Bf irty to which we profess to bo attached- Very
from it—for w ere he guilty of conjpromitting
Blie rights, interests and liberties of the State in
shape, manner or form, we would be as ready
B n 1 willing as our cotemporary of the Constitu-
to cry traitor against him or any other
Bui), we care not to w hat political party he may
But believing as wo do, that Col. Daw-
BB>a done all that was in the power of man to do
rights, interests and welfare of tllG State,
r f must say that we bejieye great injustice has
■<'''!) done Idm by the Constitutionalist, nnd if
object of the editor is to deal fairly and inde-
in relation to this matter, he will un-
retract tho ungenerous insinuations
Cob J), and if the editor is not now con-
I |hiee(| of hj s error, we apprehend the day is not
I when he will be set right on that subject by
■'el. )), himself,
■ It is very true Col. D, said ho had labored to
■hllg Ross to favorable terms, But we will ven-
to assert the terms proposed were not such
were calculated to interfere w ith the stipula
■ms of the treaty, or retard for one moment the
of the Iridians, uor in any manner calcn-
B§ dto jeopardize the honor, interests and rights
I I the State, In relation to the communication
Bi' die Executive he denounces it in language too
'iu to be misunderstood, and positively denies
knowledge of it prior to its being presented to
B as will be seen by his speech on the
B" o i''Ct published in our last weeks paper,
■ V ith these facts staring us in the face, we can-
B' ’ I° r °ur lives, see how any man could think of
■ ' hisiuuating any thing against the course pur-
B ,cd by Col. Dawson; divesting ourselves of all
■ ru,l;i lity» and twisting and turning the matter in
possible shape, we cannot sec any room,
for censure, but on the contrary, every
l 1 n g to secure for him the highest commenda-
I"' °* the people of Georgia. Mr. Cuthbert,

B T’he Secretary of State says, in relation to the
B e 'ay recommroended in the removal of the Che
I I hose views, in connection with the proposed
arrangement, were ma le known to an individual
Senator supposed to be best acquainted with the
temper of the remnant of the Cherokee people
yet to emigrate, aud best able to judge 0 f tire pro
priety of consenting to their proposition to remot e
themselves, through their Chiefs and Head-men*
as nrwst likely to contribute Jo the peaceable re
moval of the nation.”
We were put to our studies foif sometime, in en
deavoring to ascertain who this Senator Could
but were unable to come to auv Satisfactory cou
clusion, nut for the first “.'foment suspecting either
nil 0 £ p ”.’tlcman from Georgia. It turns out,
.vever that it was tho gentleman whose name
heads' this article ; “and out of his own shall he
be condemned.” lie says;
“It might be duo to tho Secretary of Wav to
state that ho (Mr. L.) had been consulted in rela
tion to this matter, from which consultation, he
presumed, this document might have resulted.”
It really dues appear to ns the old tnau should
have kuown better how’to act. Can lie dare face
his coustitiv'Ht- imam after acting so faithless a
part towards them in a inaU* r upon which they
felt thu deepest interest, and that too, w hen lie
was sent to Washington becuuse he was believed
to lm better acquaint'-d with the subject than any
other man ; aud fur tho purpose of securing the
speedy execution us the trea'y ? But a man who
has tl}c audacity o !•> ar-t t will have the impudence
to du any thing, Wc would say to him that
Tekclhas bsetl written against him in Georgia,
aud all his exertions to efface the hand-writing
from the wall will be of but little avail.
MR WISE.
11 has always been a source of pleasure to us f
heretofore, to view the independent and manly
course generally pursued in Congress by the gen
tleman whose name stands at the head ot this ar
ticle, iu resisting the aggressions of the General
Government, always believing him to be a firm,
unflinching and undeviating State Rights man, and
ever ready to defend the sovereignty of the States,
and as such cherished the kindest feeling tor his
success aud welfare. But the course pursued by
him on the Clierokco question, and the language
used in reference to our State, demand from every
•Georgian an expression of the deepest indignation
and most determined opposition.
llow can he profess to be an advocate of State
Rights and State Sovereignty, when he claims
powers for the Gonersl Government equal and sim
ilar to those assorted in th“ Proclamation of Goii.
Jackson 1 How can lie claim to lie a State Rights
man, w hen he talks in Congress ol castigating a
State for exercising her rights ot sovereignty and
jurisdiction over lier own soil ? A man advocating
such doctrines cannot be a State Rights man, and
we are consequently compelled to renounce all
political connexion with him, at least until lie re
traces his steps,
You iaik of castigating Georgia, indeed, We
ran assure you sir, that although the people of
Georgia, have in time recognized the principles ol
the Proclamation and I'ofco Bill, that time has
past, and the banner of State Rights waves tri»
umphaiilly over pur St.*t protected by men too
brave to be intimidated hv any threats ol castiga
tion, cornu from what quarter they may, and should
yon and your allies in the Cherokee cause think
proper to test the mat; r, you will find that the
spirit of ’7O lias not and -p-irtad from Georgia, but
that liberty burns as freely iu the bosoms of her
sons now, as it did in their lathers' in the “times
which tried men’s soiiks,”
The conduct and Jauguago of Mr. Wise, on
the subject referred to, a e too outrageous to be
noticed, and we hardly think w e should have done
so had it not been for the purpose of renouncing
(as one of his former friends,) all political connex
ion with him, as we can give no countenance w hat
ever, to any man who would use such language as
has fallen from his lips in relation to our beloved
State,

TIIE SABBATH SCHOOL,
Messrs Editors;— It was with great pleasure I
saw noticed in your paper a few' weeks ago, that
the good citizens of Florence were about establish
ing a Sabbath School in our town, and still more
was i rejoiced to see the thing carried into effect,
believing that nothing could so far advance the
prosperity of the young anil rising generation as
an institution of this kind. I have been a regular
attendant of the School, and witnessed tor a few
Sabbaths the ertergy and zeal with which the
teachers and scholars have discharged their du
ties, as well as those having the superintendence.
The School has been opened and closed with
singing and prayer, and every thing appeared to
move along with ease and cojrdort, until last Sab
bath, when all who nr ' friendly to the institution
must have felt, w ith deep regret and mortification
the neglect of those upon whom the prosperity ot
the school depends. The house full of scholars,
waiting with anxious solicitude fur the School to
be opened, and an opportunity presented to re
hearse the lesson diligently studied the past week,
but no one apperrod to discharge that duty, and
several of the classes were destitute of teachers.
Gan it be possible that the originators of this
institution will suffer it to pass away, to die, for
the wajit of their nourishment and aid ? Will
they suffer children to out lie them in zeal and
energy ? And will they permit these things to
pass by unheeded and unnoticed ? Wc hope not,
and trust that tomorrow morning every mart, wo
man and child will be at their posts —the Super
intendent s especially. For them I have the ut
most respect, and place all .confidence in their 3-
bility to discharge the duties encumbent upon
them, and hope they will see well to their dis
charge, for an awful responsibility rests upon them
in relation to ibis matter.
I would respectfully submit a few inquiries for
the consideration of the managers of tlie institu
tion. Have you as managers, discharged the du
ties devolved upou you ? Have you held tjie first
meeting as managers ? Have you presented to
the Superintendents the first rule for the Govern
ment of the school ? I think you will be compel-
THE GEORGIA MIRROR
led to answer in the negative to thesp questions.
And how can you account to the coimnudTFyTor
this improper, unpardonable neglect? 1 can
conjecture no excuse w hich you can give. Aon
have ail been living in town or near it ever since
the commencement of the school, and could, at
any time have held a meeting and conducted mat
ters with regularity and case, aud upon your heads
rests as much as any one this dilapidated state of
the institution. Let me, in behalf of the commu
nity, the scholars, and the cause of morality, en
treat you respectfully to enter forthwith upou the
discharge of your duties, and suffer not this state
of things to continue. Many of the scholars ex
press great dissatisfaction, nnd upon the faithful
discharge of your duties, depends the existence
of the institution. Will you perform them ?(
These remarks are thrown out with the kindest
feelings, and w ith every respect for those concern
ed aud hope they will be so taken.

RESUMPTION,
Or when will the Banks pay their TKdttsf
This question is of vast importance to all; and
.one which is not likely to be responded to in gold
and silver, so long as timidity exists in tho people.
Beggared, as they are, they dread to speak, lest
their oppressors should add to their miserable con
dition, aud strip them of their only surviving rag.
Deeply interested as we aie iu this issue, we are
silent, vvhilsts the monopolists and banking mon
arclis arc consulting their pleasure and interest
when to pay their debts. The man who owes a
dollar must pay per force, whilst these monsters
devour your substance and defy the law. Is there
no remedy? Shall wc be silent, be pillaged by
these cormorants, whilst they riot in bankruptcy ?
No. Let the people speak, act and consult each
other. ’Tisstrange, that a people so jealous of
their rights, and so devoted to liberty ant! Repub
lican principles, should linger in a course des
tructive to both. Whilst they war about words
and devote hours of study to questions ot momen
tary importance, they forget the great objects of
society, and slumber whilst the insidious enemy to
liberty, equal right ; and privileges is ravaging and
destroying the idols of their worship, til s ' theme
of the statesman, tire hobby-horse of the political
aspirant and worthless demagogue;—liberty is be
coming a sound, equal rights exists only in words.
Banks and banking rail roads have stopped the
voice of the Representatives ol' the people, and
rod ■ them beyond their only proper sphere of ac
tion.
Tho Representatives of the people of Georgia
no longer possess that unshrinking honesty .which
bids defiance to human power, whether existing
in the republican monarchist or b ink in g-monopo
lies. Banks, creatures of men, the breath of the
Legislature, are permitted by it to violate fl.io only
conservative guards in their charters. Threaten
thorn, they lausrh at your chastisement and defy
vnnr power. What are they ? Combinations of
the wealth, the popular and haughty aristocracy
ot' the .State. To what end arc they embodied ?
Speculation, usruy and fraud. Once established,
how ever specific their powers, and restrained in
action, cupidity becomes their limits, then’ action
coextensive with their mercenary hopes, and uni
versal thraldom their dying ambition. They seize
the first opportunity to violate tlioir charters, and
break tlmir faith to the people. Onco done, they
yield alone to force, and this they dread not. —
They seize the first opportunity to silence oppo
sition. and to effect this they add bribery to perfi
dy. Thus they live. The Representative is si
lenced by holding out inducements of a bountiful
accommodation, whilst debtor? dread the four walls
of a prison. Thus monopolists, illegal Shylocks,
become the nucleus upon which liberty of speech
and freedom of mind depend ;— rights, once dear
to every American heart, lie neglected and for
gotten midst tho struggle for power, and aceumu
iit ion of wealth. Whatever might have been the
objects of Bank s in their first organization, whe
ther for the accommodation of the merchant, far
mer. or benefit of stockholders, they are bound
and ought to be held to their ohartsrod specifica
tions.
Thov have exl r.tordinarv privileges given thorn
bevouti any association of unincorporated body of
persona, and these, amidst tlio most perilous and
impoverishing crisis which has ever visited this
country, they have used, with the most daring au
dacity. rockless of consequences, smiling at the
ruin they have wrought. Not content with hav
ing over issued, they refuse to rcdecjn # their bilks,
qnd as if yet unsatisfied with the catalogue oftheir
enormities, thov add impudence to treachery aud
atrocity, by flooding the country with post notes.
They suspend (unable to pay their debts) and
seize the moment of suspension to embarrass and
impoverish their creditors and debtors. They
shave the one and suspend accommodation to tlio
other. They seize the moment ot pressure to
press stiii further, and not content with having giv
en Rheumatism to all, they turn the screw once
more and end your existence with the gout.—
They suspend, and yet suspend, and will contin
ue to suspend sine die, until the little yon have
left of their irredeemable notes, have been filched
and frittered away by exchanges, A es, they lie
come shavers of thtfi* own notes, due on demand
in silver, They refuse to pay their debts to re
deem their due bills; they refuse to pay their bills,
and these very bills they purchase with others of
their own called I” Exchange!! and
exchange they will, until you have no change left,
or until the people, indignant at the evils they
have suffered, and wrongs endured, shall dictate
to their Representatives, impel a forfeiture of their
charters, and meet them at Fhillippi.

The following letter from a friend in Washing
ton City will be read with great interest by the
political and personal friends of Col. Dawson.
We shall wail with considerable anxiety the arri
val of this speech and will spread it before our
readers as soon as possible.
Washington, June 1, 1838.
Dear Sir—Our friend Dawson, yesterday, made
a speech on the Cherokee Treaty, of which his
freinds and the state of Georgia may well be
proud. I have rarely enjoyed a greater pleasure
than it afforded me. It was a thorough, able and
eloquent vindication of the course of Gcorgi,. to
wards the Indians, and I have no doubt lias put to
rest forever the unjust clamour against the state.
An old and distinguished member of the House
told me that he had heard and read all the speech
es on the subject, but that there had been none as
able vindications oftbe state: The tone, manner,
and spirit, were just such as the honor of the state
demanded. There were in the gallery two tliJ
tingnished Georgians, of different politics, who
were both delighted: 110 man could be otherwise
who regarded the honor and character of his state.
I w ill not say half what this manly and able effort
deserves, least 1 may be suspected of falling into
the vice of the times —newspaper puffing. I will
only add that 1 do not believe that any Georgian,
who comes here and sees tho position that Dawson
ne< 111 lies, will be likely to vote against him when he
goes hence. A'ours, truly, T.

INCENDIARISM.
An attempt was made on Tuesday night, be
tween 8 and!) o’clock, to fire the residence of Mr.
Andrew Moffett, on the West side of Meeting
street, nearly opposite to the Circular Church.
A parcel of paper tilled with live coals was thrown
into liis premises from the adjoining lot, which fell
between the pantry and out-house. A servant
being in the pantry, discovered the coinbustable
matter and extinguished the fire.
The most daring attempt that we have heard of,
was made yesterday morning, between 9 and 10
o’clock, to fire tho buildings occupied bv Mr. J.
Caldor as a residence and Cabinet-maker’s shop,
on Meeting-street, east side, one door north of
the Circular Church, by placing combustible mat
ter in two places under the piazza facing the south,
which was discovered before any damage was
doim The servants on the premises have been
arrested and will undergo examination.
Time is ever on the wing, and death is ever
nigh ! How incessary is it that we should improve
the former while it lasts, and prepare Tor the latter
that we may bo ready for the awful summons
when it eomes. Tho season ol the year reminds
us of these solemn realities, and should oxcite in
every individual serious thoughts on that inter
esting question recorded in the 89th Psalm, and
the 4*tli verse, “ what man is he that liveth and
shall not see death ?” AVhat young man is he
that liveth and shall not see death? those who
arc in the younger part of life are apt to place
death at a great distance, and to suppose that it
is time enough-for them to thiuk about dying
when they are old. But who can say how long
he has to live ? He certainly will see death soon
er or later, and he may not live to be old.
A Pilgrim. —Among the passengers in the
ship Susquehanna, recently arrived at this port
from Liverpool, was Miss Harriet Livermore,
who will be recollected by most of our readers
as a zealous preacher. This lady, about two
year-: since, left Philadelphia to go to Jerusalem.
Sl>o went, tarrying a shorttimo .it London, touch
ing at Gibraltar, Malta and the intermediate
places, and abode for some time in tho Holy City,
sitting in tlio sepulchre “where the Lord was
laid,” wandering in the Valley of Jehosophat,
climbing the Mount of Olives, fording Kedron,
lingering in Goths; mane, and journeying round
places consecrated to Christiau sympathies and
biblical reminiscences.

Tli < lone woman, of delicate health, mode all
this journey without a male protector.—-She so
journed in a Catholic convent while in Jerusalem,
and was kindly entertained. She was when near

and once in a place agitated by a trcmeuuous
earthquake.
The New Orleans Herald, says a Raleigh paper
lias the following laconic announcement:
“Aydlliatii Smith shot Samuel Kellum, a few
days ago, in Rockingham county.—trout the ef
fect of which death ensued in an hour.”
That is fully equal in manner to tho story oi
a box who lately promenaded the streets, hallowed
in a most lusty manner. A passer by stopped
him and enquired the matter: .’Boo-lioo-oo,fath
