From the Afacon Alesscn&er. The Secretary of War, in tire correspondence faring upon our Indian relations, he* had re course to a subterfuge, which Was not to be ex pected from the only member of Mr. Van Buren’s cabinet, whose claims to the character of an hon- ,t and honorable officer, have been undoubted. Ib terms as plain as the English kliom is sus ceptible of, he communicated to the Indians the mtentioßs of die Government in reference to their removal w hich intentions w ere, that in accor dance w ith their request, their removal should be procrastinated for the period of two years. The reception, that these proposals, on the part of the Secretary, received from the people of Georgia, was such as was to be expected by all who were acquainted with tire patient forbearance with which the citizens of the State have for ye submitted to the privation of a portion of •’ comprised within their boundery !•- . * lie SOi . right belonging to them. -units, and o* The most ’ members of all par-' .•. language wa* «sed by b ast one party r*- *T S nußscrunmately, and at ui'ieav”' . .ess of the Van Bureii creed had • -licence to coudenui in unmeasured trivial llr * yolicy f ßc administration. \in<nv. tiic people, the fueling of indignation w v.3 s*'o“ral —so general in fact, that wc venture to s;l -> that ’te.iif eventually prove to be a most sui citVui w-’A tor Mr. Van Huron.

Gilmer lias “misappre hended the true meaning and intent of the G_»v ciiiiirei>;,” and in this paltry manner he ende-av ei to avoid the odium which the Government has uirmrcd tin-Higlmiit the State. Tim Secretary has completely failed in thus evasively backing out of a difficulty. The “intent of the Govern ment” has been so plainly exposed that there is not even a loop hole left upon which to hang a ilonbt. Asa contemporary lias remarked, “it is well for the cause of truth, that they have conimitted themselves «u •writing.'' Had they not dene so, they would lime referred themselves from their present difficulty, 3>y denying their own words— but it is taow a matter of record, and the record cannot lie. The “proposals'" to the Indians are too plainly ami explicitly expressed, twbcmisunderstood,and with alibis sophistry, the Secretary cannot remove the Obvious rvotvstrtKitirtn which they must receive. Although the propetod! of a delay of two years in the execution of the treaty, was qualified by a reference to the hitafes interested, for their sanc tion vet this qualification goes for nought. Mr. Van Biiren well knew that th« State ot Georgia was most sensitively alive «n this subject; that however divided on abstract questinns «f polhirv, she spoke with one voice on the Indian q»’ tioit, and that after she hat! roluniarily delayed the exe < utiomof tjhe treaty for two year;', it would be morally and-physically impossible, either to per suade or coerce her into a delay of two years lon ger. We are therefore reluctantly compelled to doubt the sincerity of Ills Secretary, when he as sures she indis-us. Ur.U there icjui be no doubt of the State ol Georgia "nurtiog.them tin is indulgence. The Government, then, has placed itself iu this most undignified attitude. It not in opposition to the interest of Georgia, it has condescended to ■act-the cheat, nnd delude and b'iud the Indians by holding out to them fr.lsse hopes. It lias done more. Mr. Van Huron, in'iris cal culation ot chances, well knew that a large num ber of Northern votes were either to be lost or gained ns he regulated his policy towards the In dians. The Norhern States are generally iu fa vor oft h*- Indians ; they think that we have perse cuted and maltreated them, anti therefore extend to them their sympathies. This act oftlie admin istration is popular with them, and to secure their applause, Mr. Van Buren has jeoparded his pop ularity in Gnwgia, trusting to the sn»t?ciVlciiey of Ins party, whose devoted ness to his and their owtl interest, may possibly exceed tlieir devotion to their State, to regain wliat lie lias lust. Hut whether these proposals were designed os a mere feint, and intended to humbug tire North ern people and Indians, or not, they are in flrem sohes. injurious to the interest of the State, and at rarimee wi th the feelings of our entire people. I hey in-rid the. most sanguine encouragement to the Indian- to persist in their efforts .for delay. Nay. even the guarrwty -of the fiuvoimnent is gi'fnt to them, fur tire Secretary., writing to the Indian Delegation!, -says, •riif.two years are peees snry lor flu* comfortable removal of the nation, the undersigned (Mr. Poinsett, Secretary of war) " m venture to assure the Delegation, ; tliat their request will be granted.” He again teJls them, that “instructions will be *eutito General to act in con formity with its (fl»e .Gpyermnent’s) assurances.” lie gives them4j)>e,privilege of appointing tlieir own agents to taVe she charge of their emigration, *Y 111 ns official letter to Gen. Scott, says to him ton will therefore pursue the measures you sue already adopted, until the agents of the uaticu "the' reai y j O , l(, kt charge of thefuture emigration of Ai?d yet the Secretary complains that these pro posals hrive been misunderstood by the Governor, flic Secretary has a most unhappy way of ex pressing himself, when his meaning has been 'fosapprehemftll not only by the Governor, but by me entire population ° f the State. It is also very !l 'iigular, that these misa n P re ßensions should have fXlsto d at Washington City, and have been enter lained by nyr entire delegation, with the exception '«• Sen^ or Lumpkin. “Mr. Ciithbcrt confessed that he Bad been jnuch surprised at the tenor of the comniu’nica lr)njust read, and one which he had not the sligi;t- r 't reason for anticipating.” ‘‘lt surprised him greatly to find there was any " "a of changing a treaty solemnly ratified, on the ' u y eve of its fulfilment: and he was the more ® UI Pris°d at the idea of consulting the States in created, when the very act itself of er nsultiug was to change the treaty. To tnoirow was ie nay appointed for executing it, and yet it was i pr,nosed to consult the State of Georgia, six j r i ' PV T hundred jniles off, for the purpose of waging a treaty which was to go into effect to foorrow.” 6 I his concurrence ofOovcrnor, membersof Con €rcss, and people, in their apprehensions of the i meaning and intent of the Government, is, as the J ravelling Gentleman in Pickwick would sav,“a most remarkable coincidence,” only to be equalled in the way of the marvellous, by that most unac countable nbfiqnity of mental vision which lias pervaded the people of Georgia, in reading the •document ot the Secretary of War alike, and alike xaxmg. * Reply °f the Secretary of War to she Governor of Georgia. J V» t .. ah Department, / Sitt I hav' June 3d, 1-38. J ceint of ■ ” *^ ie Bonor to ackowledge the re catio- your excellency’s reply to my comnniui .,i conveyiug the proposals made by the Ex- C-Cutive to the Cherokee delegation and the in structions to Geu. Scott; and from the tenor of your remarks I cannot but suppose that your Ex cellency must have misapprehended the true mcaii iug and int< nt of the Government. The question of prolonging the time of the re moval of the Clierokees is expressly referred to tiie States by this Department, and such ex tension was not intended to embrace a longer period than that which might be required by a due regard to the common dictates of humanity; it being expressly stated that the Clierokees were tube removed as speedly as was consistent w ith their health and comfort. Gen. Scott is, moreover in structed to continue the prosecution of the meas ures he has adopted to remove the Indians, and whether tlieir removal is to be effected by compulsion or by voluntary emigration under tlieir own agents, so to conduct Iris operations as to place the proprietors of the lands there, in pos session of their property with as little delay as possible. These instructions certainly do not warrant the supposition that the Government con sents that Ross and his friends shall remain two years longer; on the contrary, the orders of the Government are most positive that the Indians are to be removed from Georgia first and from the other States as speedly as practicable and your Excel lency may be assured from the officer entrusted with their execution that these orders w ill be car ried into effect without any unnecessary delay The department cannot therefore perceive cause tor the apprehension yotit Excellency seems to eutertniu of a collision between the authorities,of the State and the General G over:: roe lit. I fullv concur with your Excellency to opinion, “that the Indians can lie removed from the State in tlie execution of the treaty and bv the troops now organized and stationed in the country with that avowed purpose with more ease and expedi tion and a readier acquiescence on the part of the Indians than by any means in the power of this State;” (meaning Georgia,) and I beg leave to reiterate to your Excellency the assurance tliai the’ troops will be employed not in opposing but hi vindicating, the rights of the States interested in the fulfilment of the treaty, and in establishing w ithout unnecessary delay tlieir citizens in the possession of their property in the Cherokee coun try. All parties must desire that this may be ef fected rather by the voluntary emigration of the Indians than by the application of force, a resort to w hich the Government desires most earnestly to avoid if possible.

Since our last pah lie at ion we received the sub joined epistle from ourseustor is Congress, Mr. Lumpkin. It' it is not courteous m feeling and language, it must be ascribed to the total absence, at the time it was written, of that equanimity of temper, and that prudence and caution, lor which the writer has Ireon so remarkable in his political life. To have lost his temper on this occasion, mi girt 1»e considered as an evidence of the correct ness of the charges alleged against him; while, if lie had renaaiueJ cool, and continued to explain all the circumstances connected with the Chero kee controversy, the people of Georgia would have be mi willing to give him credit for honesty of purpose, if not for a bold and independent course ofcotiduet. ■ If Mr. Lumpkin had not lost his tem per, this letter to us would not have been w ritten, and would have spared our readers the task of peru sing such an unbecoming production. ■WASHINGTON- June 11, 1838 Messers.

The troops in this country for the collection of tlie Cherokc.es, are doing well; already have they collected nearly the entire nation, especially in Georgia. Eroro what we can learn, we do not suppose there are foe hundred Indians at this time in Geoigra, out of the control of the troops; oc far as this county is concerned, we are satisfi ed there are not ten Clierokees in it, running at large : so far as information has reached us, and so far as our knowledge extends, all has been quiet, peace and harmony. Some of the Indians appear to some extent discotnfitted, but the great mass appear cheerful and satisfied. We most gladly congratulate the citizens of this country, w ith the bright prospect of a speedy relief from the heavy clogs and trammels, w hich they have borne with patience for the last six years. We now see the day in full view, when the entire Cherokee nation East, will strike its line of inarch to the setting sun, far beyond the great Mississippi. We give them a hearty shake by the hand, in the spirit of peace aud friendship; bid them a pleasant jour ney; a welcome and joyous reception by their brethren west; a happy home and a quiet wigwam so long “as wafer runs, or grass grows.” The agents appointed for this county by the superin tendent of the Cheroicc emigration, to sell and dispose ot the Indian’s property, have nearly com pleted the duties assigned to them, and will soon be enable.! to make their report to the superinten? dent. We learn that the property has generally sold at a fair price. hue (.EORGu immOß M bile every thing connected with the Clicro- ’ kee emigration is in the happy tide of prosperity, we regret, very much, to say "the least of it, to see the very imprudent and improper course of the executive of the United States; towards John Ross and his delegation. The time never was wtien such a course would be proper, but of all other times this is the most in auspicious; his policy to Boss may be fraught with consequences Loth to the white aud the red man, which the Executive may hereafter have much cause to regret. We know there is no prospect of the success of any such policy, yet it is unpleasant to witness it.— Georgians have too much at stake in securing the quiet of their newly acquired territory, to listen to Executive couucils, or the “proposed arrange ments” by the Secretary of War with Ross and his Delegation, or yield to Indian exactions.

Sixty-tivo years have roiled into eternity since the daring spirits of ’7t> declared that these United States “were, and of right out to be, free and in dependent.” With a courage unequalled, they burst asunder the fetters by which the enemies of liberty’sought to bind them—determined to seek rest in a patriots grave, rather than clank the chains of a degraded vassal, —the pledge they gave of life, fortune and sacred honor, was gloriously re deemed-—the British lion, whose roar made na tions trvtnble, quailed under the fangs of the Ameri can Eagle, and crouched him down in his lair like the bumbled mastiff. Those of the British Parliament who laughed at the idea of an infant colony wan ing with a vet ranin arms, were soon.tanjht that iu the colonies were full grown patriots, who loved liberty better than they loved life, and that it a dangerous expedient to push matters to extremities with such men. These worthies fought and conquered, and we, their sons, sitting under our own vine and fig tree, enjoy the fruit of their hard won battles. Peace to their ashes—glory names. From the sword of a foreign enemy, and the in trigues of designing politicians at home, we have been preserved, and we do yet hope for the Re public. Corruption, .it is true, has spread itself through the body politic to an alarming extent, still our hope is on the honest yeomanry of the country. They may be misled for awhile, aud shout in the train of a designing demagogue, but wo Ire to him when his mask is torn off, and he stands out in his true character. Office seekers, and those who scramble for the loaves and fislres, will, for awhile, throw dust in the people’s eyes, becloud and trustify the plainest subject, and tire people may be slow in seeking sot the truth, yet though slow, it is mighty and will prevail. A few days now, and th“ loud roar of the can non and the spirit stirring drum, will announce the dawn of our Giid Anniversary. Let every A merican renew his pledge, and swear-, on tine altar of Iris country, to send down to posterity its hon ored institutions as pure and uiieontaiuinated as they passed from the hands of the patriots of the Revolution. DREADFUL STEAMBOAT DISASTER. In another part of our paper may be found a distressing account of the loss of life by the burst ing .of she boiler of the Steamer Pulaski, on her way from Charleston to Baltimore, noticed iu our las!. Scarcely a week passes without receiving intel ligence by our exchange papers, of disasters on steamboats of more or less magnitude. There must be cither a culpable mismanagement, or the machinery is sadly and dangerously defective; and perhaps we should not be wide of the truth were wc to say that both, in some degree, eon tri bute to this appalling destruction of life pud pro perty. We believe however, in ninety-nine cases out of aliundred, tire evil is produced by a niggardly de sire on the part of the owners of she boats to put down competition, and an over-excitement on the inind of a fool-hardy captain to keep the lead at all hazards. Two boats, the Pulaski and Georgia have been plying as packets between Charleston and Balti more, add for some time they have been trying their speed on the Atlantic, calculating that w{ticb ever had the speed would engross the business. The pros? loudly rebuked tß' s dangerous pro- cedure, and the people became somewhat incen- 1 sed at the hazard to which they put the live* of their passengers in this struggle for ascendancy. In deference to public opinion, the Georgia al tered her day of stalling, and thereby relieved the fears of the people. There is no doubt, however, but the Pulaski was running against time to show that slue had the speed of the other boat. Language is too poor lo express the indigna tion we led at such fiendish recklessness. It is high time some method be adopted to put it .down. every steamboat captain who dared to put his boat to the top of her speed iu racing with another or against time, should be hung by the neck or thrown aiive into the furnace. MISERY LOVES COMPANY. Nothing can exceed the anxiety manifested by most of the “party” presses, to involve Governor Gilmer and Col. Dawson, in the Lumpkin predic ament. Ouc discovers some rays of light through the interstics of a speech, and though he sees thro’ a glass darkly, he can supply the place of wanted light by the brilliancy of his own imagination.— another, fearing he had been too qniek on trigger, wishes to divide the odiousness of the transaction, ami in some degree, at least, divert the indigna tion of the people, or at any rate stay its fury, lest Mr. Lumpkin should be entirely overwhelmed, kindly supposing, if divided among them that it will not fall overwhelmingly heavy on the head of any one of them. The correspondence is published, and those who wanted light are uo longer left to the fruitful ness of their own imaginations, and now that the whole subject is before them, we will see vrliat the perversity of prejudice will do wth it. In this correspondence we see the solicitude of a vigilant Governor, to counteract the influence of Northern sympathy, and remove the Indians with out resorting to coersion, not only by the time stip ulated in tlie treaty but before that time arrived. The Governor was well aware that John Ross was encouraged in his opposition to the treaty by tlie shameful intermeddling oftlie north, and the fa vorable reception of the Cherokee delegation by the Cabinet. A conference was opened with John Ross by the President well calculated to aw ake the fears of our Governor, and lie instantly remon strated against such a course and advises, lest a modification of file treaty should Ire made that John Ross be engaged to move the Indians forth with for some amount which might be given him. Where now, in all this is any recommendation of two years delay, not a word of it, but a great anxiety to have the Indians removed peaceably, even before the stipulated day should arrive. Mr. Lumpkin then it would seem “solitary and alone, has put this ball in motion,” let him have till the glory. We will not say that lie intended any harm to liis State, but we do think it shows him very siiort sighted, for any man, with half an eye ought to have known that such a recommen dation would never be acceded to by the State of Georgia, atid be that should dare to make it, would receive her withering rebuke.
