YANKEE COUlTMinr After my sleigh-ride last winter, and the slippery trick I was served by Patty Bean, nobody would suspect me of hankering after woman again in a hurry. To hear me curse and swear, and rail out against tin* whole fem inine gender, you would have taken it for granted that I never should so much as look at one of them again to all eternity. O! But I was wicked—“darn and blast their eyes,” says l>blamc their skins—torment and darn their hearts, and darn them to damnation.” Finally, I took an oath, and swore that ifever I meddled, or had any dealings with them again, (in the speaking line 1 mean) I wished I might be hung and cloaked. f > But swearing off from '"Woman, and then going intc a meeting house, chock full ol gals, all shining and glistening in their .Sun day clothes, and clean faces—is like swearing off from liquor and going into a grog-shop. — It's all smoke ! 1 held out, and kept firm to my oath, for three whole Sundays—forenoons —afternoons and intermissions complete.— On the fourth there wt re strong symptoms ot a change of weather. A chap about my size was seen on the way to the meeting house, with anew patent hat on, his head hung by the ears \>u a shirt collar, his cravat had a pudding in it, and branched out in front into a double bow-knot, lie carried a straight back and Miff neck, as a man ough; to, when lie has his best clothes on ;and eve ry time he spit, lu: sprung his body forward like a jack knife, in order to shoot clear of his rufiles. Squire .Tone's’ pew is next but two to mine; j and when I stand up to prayers, and take my [ coat-tail under my arm, and turn my back to! the minister, I naturally looked right straight i at Sally Jones Now, Sally has got a face not to be grinned at in a fog. Indeed, asre-j gards beauty, some folks think she can pul! and even yoke w itli Patty Bean. For my part, I think there is not much'boot between them. Any how, they are so nigh matched, that they hated and despised each other, like rank poison, ever since they were school girls. ’Squire Jones hud got the evening fire on, and set himself down to reading the great bi- Mo, when he heard a tap at bis door: “walk, in—well John, how d’ye do? get out Pom-' pey”—“pretty well, I think ye, ’squire, and how do you do ?—why so as to be crawlin— ye ugly beast, will you hold ver yap—haul up a chair and sit down. * * * How do you do, Mrs. Jones V' “Oh, middlin, how’s ver mam ma? Ikin’t forget the mat there, Mr. Bocdle.” This put me in mind, that i had been off soundings several times in the long muddy June; and my boots were in a sweet pickle. It was now old captain .Tone's turn, the grandfather.—Being roused from a doze, by the bustle and racket, he opened both his eyes at first with wonder and astonishment; at last he began to halloo so loud, that you might Bear him a mile ; for he takes it for grant ed that every body is just exactly as deaf as] he is. Who is it ? I say, who in the world is it ? j Airs. Jones going close to his car, screamed J out, ‘fits Johnny Beedle.” Ho, Johnny Beedle. I remember he was one summer at the siege of Boston” —“No, no, father, bless your heart, that was his grandfather, that has teen-dead and gone these twenty years.”— “Ho, but where docs he come from ?” “Down town.”—“Ho—and v hat does he follow for a Hvin?” And he did not stop asking ques tions, after this sort, till all the particulars of the Boodle family w< rc published and pro claimed in Mrs. Jones’ best schtecch. He! then sunk back into his dose again. The! dog stretched himself before one andiron; and the eat squat down before the other. —' fcilencc came on by degrees,like a calm snow storin, till nothing was heard but acricket un der th" hearth, keeping time with a sappG yellow birch forestick. bally sat up, prim as; if she weie pinned to the chair-hack; her hands crossed genteely upon her lap, and her eyes looking straight into the fire. M.inl ine Jones tried to straighen herself, too, and laid her hands across in her lap. But they would not lav still. It was full twenty-four hours, since they had done any work, and tlwv were out of all patience with keeping Sun day. Do w hut she w ould to keep them quiet, they would bounce up, and then, and gr through the motions, in spite of the tourtli commandment. For my part, I -sat looking very much like a fool. The more 1 tried to say something the more my tongue stuck fast: 1 put my right leg over the left, and said “hem !” then 1 changed, and put the It ft leg over the right. It was no use—the silence kept coming on thicker and thicker ; the drops of sweat began to crawl all over me; I got my eye upon my hat, hanging on a peg, on the road tothe door;—'and at this moment the did captain, all at once sung out “Johny Beedle.” It sounded like a clap of thunder, and I startedright up end. “Johnny Beedle you’ll never handle sich n drumstick as your father uid, if yer live to the ageof Mcthusalee. lie would toss up his drumstick, and while it was whirling in the air, takeotfagifl-oi rum, nndthen ketch it as it come down, without losin a stroke in the; tune. What d'ye think of that, ha ? But cull your chair round close alongside o’uie, so yer can here—there—so. —Now what have you come arter ?” “I-a-tcr ’ O, just takin a walk, —pleasant weather, 1 guess—l mean just to see how yc all do.” "-•Ilo, that’s an other lie—you’re cornea courting; Johnny ikedlc, you’re artet our Sal—say now do you want to marry, or only to court'.'” This was what 1 e-uil a choaker. Poor Sal- j |y inaele tint one jutnp, and landcel in the liiidd'ic of the kitchen ; and then she skulled into a dark corner, till the oil man alter laughing lumstlf iiito a whooping-cough, was put to bed. Then came apples and cider, and the ice b mg broken, plenty of chat with mammy Jon. s, altout the niiwister and the sarmon. — ) agreed with her to a nicety upon all the p lints of doctrine; but 1 hud forgot the text, and all to heads of discourse but six. Then sue teased and tormented me to tell who I accounted the best singer in the gallery that ay. lut, iiunn—there was no getting that u 1 1 <fTrie. “Praise to the face, is otten dis- JJ^rafr 5 ’ sajs I throwing a sly squint at Sally. A.i j.,. t Mrs. Jo- e* light, and t’oher candle, an J after charging Sally to look well to the fire, j she led the way to bed, and the squire gath j rred up ills shoes and stocking, a:id fui j lowed. Sally and I were left sitting a good yard j apart, honest measure. For fear of getting 1 tongue-tied again, 1 set right iti with a steady streamof talk. I told her all the particulars about the weather that was past, and also made some pretty ’cute guesses, and what it was like to be in future ; at first I gave a hitch up with my chair, at every full stop —then growing saucy, I repeated it at every comma and semi-colon, at last it was hitch, bitch, and I planted myself bv the side of her. “I swow, Sally, you looked so plagued lisndsome to-day, that I wanted to cut you up.” “Pshaw git along you”—says she. My band had crept along somehow upon its fin gers, arid began to scrape acquaintance with hers ; she sent it home again with a dc?p> r atc jerk. Try it again —no better luck; “why Miss Jones, you’re getting opstropelous, a little old inaidish I guess.” Hands off is fair play Mr. Beedle.” It is a good sign to find a girl sulky. 1 knew where the shoe pinch ed ; it was that are Patty Bean business; so l went tc work to persuade her that 1 never had any notion after Patty, and to prove it I fell to running her down at a great rate.— Sally could not help chiming in with me, and I rather guess Miss Patty suffered a few. I now not only got hold of her hand with out apposition, but managed to slip an arm murid her waist. But there was no satisfy ing me ; so I most go to poking out my lips after a buss—l guess I rued it—she fetched me a slap on the face that made me see stars, and my ears rung like a brass kettle for u j quarter of an hour. I was forced to laugh at I the joke, though out of the wrong side of my | mouth, which gave my lace something the j look of a gridiron. The battle now began the regular way.— “ O ! Sally give me a kiss and he donq with it now.” “I won’t, so there let me alone.” “I’ll take it whether or no.” “Do if you dare.” And at it I went, rough and tumble; an odd destruction ofstarch now commenced; the bow of my cravat was squat up in half a shake ; at the next but, smash went shirt collar, and at the same time some of the head fastenings gave way, and down came Sally’s hair in a flood like a mill darn broke loose, carrying away half a dozen combs—one dig ot Sally’s elbow, and my blooming ruffles united down to a dish cloth. But she had no time to boast—soon her neck tackling be gan to shiver, it parted at the throat, whoruli, came a w hole school of blue and w hite heads, scampering and running races every way n hout the floor. By the hokey, it Sally Jones isn’t real grit, there is no snakes. She fought fair, however, I must own, and neither tried to bite or scratch—and when she could fight no longer, for want of breath, she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell down by her side, her head back over her chair, her eyes closed, and there lay her little plump mouth, all in the air. Lotd! Did you ever see a hawk j pounce upon a young robin—a bumble bee I upon a clover top ?—1 say nothing. Consarn jit, Mrs. Jones was about halfway between | asleep anil awake. “There goes tnv great yeast bottle,” said she to herself, “burst into twenty thousand pieces, and my bread is all dough again.” The upshot of the matter I fell in love with Sally Jones, head over ears. Every Sunday night, rain orslnne, finds me rapping at squire Jones’door, and twenty times have I been within a hair’s breadth of popping the ques tion. But now I have made a final resolve, and if I live until the next Sunday night, and j if I don’t get choaked in the trial, Sully Jones j will hear thunder.— John Neal. roiir days later from liii^omi. The ship Mary Howland , at New York , brings Liverpool ad vires to the 1 •Ith, and London to the 12 th July. Avery dangerous conspiracy had been discovered among some Polish ollicers and the numerous Russian prisoners in Warsaw, in time to prevent any ill ef fects. From the London Morn. Citron. July 12. The intelligence from Warsaw,brought yesterday from Hamburg, is interesting. Gen. Hurrig. Gen. Santocki. Col. Stu peeal, the Russian Chamberlain Fau shawe. M. Lessel and Madame Bazzn non, a Russian lady are arrested, charg ed with a eon piracy to arm the Russian prisoners, to make a diversion, and per haps, to deliver Warsaw in to the hands of the enemy, in case of an attack. The escape of Rudiger is attributed to the treachery of Janowski, who is implica ted in the above conspiracy. Gen. iiur rig was in a regular correspondence with a Russi nt Colonel, Brendt, residing at Lemberg, in Gallieia, and one in Iniz dc formerly an officer in the Polish army, was agent between them. Three millions of florins were discov ered at tke house of Lessel ; and it would appear from papers found in the posses sion of the conspirators, that at Ortro lcnska the Russians were in possession of the whole, of Skzrynecki’s plan. The plot if not detected, might have produc ed the most disastrous results to the Poles. One part of it was to arm the Russian prisoners from the arsenal, to destroy the bridge of Praga. and thus cut off the troops stationed there from the relief of the Capital, while the Russians were to cross tlie Vistula at Pluck or Dobizga. and enter V arsaw, in the ab sence of the troops. | There is still uncertainty as to the op erations of Gielgud and Chlapowshi— -1 If the Prussian accounts are to he believ ed, they were defeated.

June 30, and are almost [entirely confuted to giving the details of | an extensive and formidable conspiracy ‘against the National Governments which has just been discovered, and involving! [several persons in the army, aml.sony; of ! the principal branches of the administra tion. The object of this conspiracy ap -1 pears to have been of an anti-revditUon- I ary nature, and in favor of the eijpmy. who was to be assisted by paralysing the j strength of their antagonists, liy casing disunion between the civil and military authorities, exciting jealousy among the i chiefs of the army, and finally by raising a spirit of distrust among citizens, and especially those of the capital, prejudicial to the acts or intentions of the govern ment. The last Warsaw Gazette contains an official report of the 20th. stating the de-; tails of a sally made by the Polish garri [ son of Modin. and executed with so nuich | success that the enemy was obliged to take to flight, with a loss of 500 men. j The following article is copied from the Gazette de Posen, dated -24th June : •* We learn from private communications j that the town of Wrozlawek and several; villages have fallen a prey to the Haines; since the passing the \ istula as far as Thorn. 'Flic head quarters of General lissimo Skryma ki, who was about marcli i ing to meet the Russians, were fixed at 1 Sochaczew. I The trial of .Mr. Cobbeft —The trial of Cob licit for alledgeil seditious publica tions lias terminated. The Jury could j not agree upon a verdict. This being an- j uoum ed to the Judge on Thursday eve ning (July 7tli) his lordship seat word j back ‘"that they must agree;” and theju- j ry were again confined to their chamber, i and they remained in deliberation until, nine on Friday morning. laird Tent~r- j don then came into court.and stated that lie had received a note from the Jury, and as it appeared that there was no like lihood of their coming to i decision, lie would take upon himself to discharge them. Mr. Cobbeft states in his Regis ter of Saturday. that **at ten minutes al ter nine yesterday morning, the judge! having arrived, the jury came up. and announced that they could not agree ; that there were 6 for 6 against acquittal t and upon this ! is lordship discharged them, which amounts to an acquittal.” j Death, of the Grand Duke Constantine. \ —lt appears that the Grand Duke Con stantine. (late vice K ing of is ! dead. 'Fhe following is the only para- [ [ graph which we have yet seen upon the j [ subject. We infer that he died of Chole- j ra. The suggestion of self-murder is hardly probable : Letters from Hamburg attribute the death of the Grand Duke Constantine to [ the cord rather than the cholera. It is j remarkable that two of the prime perse cutors of the Poles, should lie thus pre i maturely cut off. in these times of phil osophy and infidelity, it would he consi dered superstitious even to hint at the agency of retributive Providence. Some of tin: Hamburg letters represent the Russian army as in a state of demo ralization. They compare it to that ot Napoleon, alter the burning of Moscow. It is said, in short, to be totally devoid of any thing like organization. If this news be true, the Berlin papers are do ing 11101*0 for the Russians than the Rus sians arc doing for themselves. LATEST FROM FRANCE. Rv tlie ship Surah and Curoisne, arrived j yesterdav morning from Nantz, we have been j [ favored with tiles ol the papers ot that city, J land of Paris, to tho 12th July inclusive —j I some two or three days later than our French j dates by the way of England. The S. C. left the river on the 26th July, hut brings no| papers later than tiie 12th. Captain P. was on shore on Sunday, the 24th, for the purpose of obtaining newspapers but was disappoint-} ed, owing to the absence from town of the j agent who was to have supplied him. The Polish accounts, both in the English' and French papers, are of a contradictory character. We learn from Capt. Prince, that j [ there was a rumor of a General Hattie between the Poles and the Russians, current at Nantz! la day or two before lie sailed, in which tlicj Polish troops were represented to have been | completely victorious. i A letter from Brest, datcd*Bth July, an nounces the arrival there of the corvette Dil igence, from the Tagus, which vessel had cap tured, on the loth June, a Portuguese ship of from 900 to 1000 tons, w hich was said to have on board 5,000,000 francs in specie, and a cargo valued at 1,000,000 more. # The latest accounts from Lithunia, repre sent the insurrection in that province to be j in full success—the insurgents were fighting! with exemplary bravery, and were receiving! reinforcements from all quarters. Gen. Giel uni was said to be w ithin 5 miles of Wilna, and Gen. Chiapowski, within 2 miles of the same place, which was invested by 30,! J in surgents, whilst there were spread over the country at least 90,000, under arms. The Mcssager des Chumbrcs of 12th July, furnishes the following speculations upon the elections: A great political transaction has distin guished the week that has just ended. Franco was called upon to decide, which host com prised her hopes and her w ishes, a goyern i ment which assured to her an extendi and liber ty, complete, but supported by order based on i the lessons of experience, or, the government ! of a party to which we art* disposed to award i good intentions, but which, forgetful of the past, too indifferent of the future, would have willingly overthrown entirely the* social edi fice, without even having a plan formed for its re-construction. “The result has been such as was looked for by all good citizens, such as was expect ed even by the part, which endeavored to op erate against the National voice. Among the honorable men whose nominations are known to day, two thirds or less, are not ministeri ah, but partizans of the system adopted by the minister, (that term ministerials ought in fact to he erased from our parliamentary dic tionary. )Thc point at w hich the Reprc sc illa tive Government has arrived, at this day, is such, that men are of little consequc nee— -I’Rixcn‘LES arc all. A fortuitous circum stance, anew political combination, might remove the existing Ministers—they would retire enjoying the esteem and respect of the public, but their system would remain after them, their successors would adopt it, and find the same support from t:.e majority ot the Chamber, not because that majority would be ministerial, but because it would be pa triotic, and more patriotic doubtless than the minority, who pretend to be so to the exclu sion of all others, and wlio appear to have an attachment for the country similiar to that of some parents for their children, whose max im is they who lore most punish most. “Speculators and capitalists, who, in the pursuit of theii interests or from necessity, are in the habit of reflecting on and discus sing political events, in all their changes, have readily perceived the influence which the result of the elections ought to have on the public funds. Increased confidence in the national credit, more power in the hands of Government, additional confidence on the part of other nations—such are the first fruits which the country will owe to the wisdom and intelligence of the electors.” If’drsoip, June fit).—We have at least offi cial news from Lithuniaof the 18th inst At that time it was considered, that there were 90,900 insurgents under arms, of which 30,000 Poles surrounded the town of Wilna— this capital was defended by 10,000 Russians, under the orders of Generals Frickex and Tolstoi. They would have been reduced be fore this, but from the fear of setting the town on fire. It is hoped that they will sur render by capitulation. roiiiTiFAir Copy of a letter from Wilson Lvmpkin, Esq. to Governor Clark. Woodland, (near Madison) March 31, IS2I. Srn:—Yesterday evening 1 had the hon or to receive your communication of the 21st inst. I also received by the same mail a commission, and instructions from the Presi dent of the United States, authorizing me to run out the line of the lute treaty, front the j head of Flint river, to the Ciiattahoochie ri-{ ver, and to lay oil' the reservations made to] the Creek Indians, in the manner specified in] the treaty. I shall with as little delay as! practicable, proceed to the performance of the duties of my appointment: and entertain but little doubt of the accomplishment of the treaty line before the meeting of the Legisla ture, on the 30th of next month. It not on-f ly meets my approbation, but will afford me i peculiar satisfaction to be accompanied by a! state commissioner, especially if that com-j mission* r should be either of the gentlemen 1 who attended at the making of the treaty— j the presence of one of those gentlemen is! rendered more desirable on account of the '• difficulties suggested in your letter in rela-; tien to the treaty line. 1 hope you will not delay in making an ! early communication to me of the appoint-) merit you may make, as I may be enabled to ! give due notice to the person appointed, of] the time and place of meeting, to run out the line. According to my construction of the con i stitution of Georgia,! do not feel myself au thorized to retain my scat as a member of the Legislature, and liold the oppointment of the ] United States’ commissioner at the same ] time—(a practice in similar cases to the con i trary no withstanding.) Read the eleventh ] section of tiie first article of the Constitu j tion. | Anticipating censure from some of my fellow citizens, for the course which I am about to pursue—permit me to offer the apol ogy which is satisfactory to my own feelings ou the subject, to wit: If I was to decline tire appointment of commissioner, a second appointment could net be made, and the treaty line run previous to the meeting of the legislature, which might prove to be a greater injury to the state, than would lie re munerated by any service which I could ren der the people as a member of the legisla ture. For, Sir, to be candid, so far as l am acquainted with public opinion in regard to the distribution which should be made of the | late acquired territory—to obey the voice of the majority, the legislature will have but lit ] tie to do, except it is to copy the last land lot i tcry law, and perforin tire usual formalities in legislation; and any individual who can write, can perform this business as well as another. I feel myself under great and peculiar ob ligations to my follow citizens generally, and especially to those of the immediate vi cinities or neighborhoods where I have resi ded, foi the uniform kindness, confidence and support, which they have manifested, reposed,and exercised toward me from time to i time. In making a disposition of the late ! acquired territory, as a member of the legis j latere, 1 should feel myself under obliga tions paramount m every other consideration, to set apart and supply a sufficient portion of the lands, or raise funds therefrom, by lav ing a higher price upon the grants of the for tunate drawers of good lands; adequate to th. establishment of a permanent fund for ; the mutual benefit of the whole people of Georgia, with a view to carry into effect the great and important objects of Inti mill Im provement and Tree School;; —embracing in one object the improvement of river naviga tion, the constructing ofcanals, and making good and permanent great market roads. In the other, affording an opportunity of educa tion to the poorer classes of our citizens, am algamating in the same schools the poor and the rich; and thereby banish from our coun ] try those distinctions which will at some fu ture day arise from (he advantages of wealth and learning, if limited to the grasp of t/u rich alone. Monopoly, in every thing is al war, or at variance with the principles of free government; and l consider monopoly in sci ence, or knowledge, more dangerous to re publican institutions, than all others united. A few wise men can deceive and govern a great many ignorant ones. A people to know and maintain their rights and liberties must possess intelligence—to be intelligent, they must be educated, to be educated they must have schools—to have schools the must have money, and when they have got money, why not apply it in the best possible way to effect these first objects of in terest to a rising state? The effectuating of these objects would perpetuate and secure to the people of Georgia lasting blessings. And a more auspicious moment than the present, will never again occur, to promote the inter est, convenience and comfort of our fellow citizens generally. Notwithstanding my confidence in the correctness of the course which I have suggested, I incline to the o pinion, (as before intimatcd)that it would not meet t.,e approbation of a majority of my fel low-citizens—and therefore, by resigning in to their hands the powers delegated, they cannot in justice censure me for an honest idiffeienceof opinion, while they are left to exercise their right of suffrage on the sub- C C 5 ject. Permit me in tendering my resignation, to assure you that I am not influenced to this step, from a want of public feeling, or solici tude forthe welfare of the state: for I really decline a service, which would in every re spect be peculiarly agreeable and pleasing— if I conceived ihat I could discharge it to the satisfaction of the people, and at the same time to the approbation of iny own consci ence. I have to request that you will authorize and direct an ejection tofiil my vacancy with as little delay as possible, that the county of Morgan may not be wanting in its foil share of representation. I have the honor to bo with respect, vourobt. sent. WILSON LUMPKIN. Hon.

Gilmer - TO COURESPSniSXTB. “Fiat Jcstitia,” has been received, and is entirely unobjectionable; yet,the object of oiircor rUspondent, is anticipated, by the publication of the Rev. Mr. Howard, to which is attached the letter ofblis Excellency Governor Gilmer, in re :-b r - To the People ol’ Georgia. We earnestly solicit your attention to the com munication of our durriffponiHuit “ Uncontrolled Suffrage .” Read it, and ponder it well, w e be seech you. It is no appeal to your passions, or to your party. It relates exclusively to your inter ests, as a free people, and presents to you a mass of documental tacts, that bids defiance to contra diction. These facts will show you the honest and magnanimous course pursued by GILMER, iu relation to his recommendation of Reserves, in which he yielded his opinion to the wishes of the people, and by so doing, proved, beyond the pos sibility of a doubt, his patriotic devotion to their interests. But this is not all: it presents you like wise PEOPLE OF GEOUGI.V, with a vivid picture of the political sinuosities of Lump kin, and shows, by reference to official records, his untiring assiduity to impose upon you a system of taxon-in, unexampled in the history of free govern ments —a system of taxation, which, if it had been carried into effect, would have occasioned a de duction of tiventj—iivp per cent, upon every pound of your cotton and every bushel of your corn—a system of taxation which would have a mounted to a Tariff of exclusion, and made you as much the slaves of the state, as are the peasantry of Ireland to the lordly fanners ol that distrac ted and oppressed country. If you then, have any regard for your pecuniary interests, as men —any regard for your immunities as freemen —or any regard for the uncontrolled exercise of your suffrage, as patriots—read, we again beseech you, the true and impartial exposi tion which is laid before you by our correspondent. l)o this, and then vote if you can, for Wilson Lumpkin —a man who is now proved to he, if not regardless, at least ignorant of yourtrue interests. Remember then, tvlicn you 1 <!•<' polls, that Taxation anti liiuiipliiii, are synouimous terms* of- Ned Bucket. From the following address to the citizens of [ the United State we [do not] regret to learn of the | decline and fall of our OLD acquaintance, “Ned.” The Cucai/hes Scrrihe/idi has departed I from him, and the public will no longer be sur feited with his wit, humour and perplexing mis chief. The President as well as the humble cit, and more intermediate personages, have long been honored, amused and tormented with the correspond ence nf the renowned Ned Bucket: “NED” has had many imitators—seme of whom have led him into ugly scrapes. One of the pretenders to “ Buckeiism ,” lately called down upon him the indignation of an eminent Astronomer who threatened to eclipse Ned’s op tics by a digital application. Pour Ned! bang ling imitators have made him feel, that “lie who cannot write, yet handles pens, Is ant to hurt hiinseifaud friends, Tho’ others use them well, yet fools, Should never meddle w ith edg’d tools.” “Ard” has displayed a great deal of philoso phy in relinquishing his attachment tt the epis/o dary mania. If some of our great men would take an example from his conduct —such, for instance, as Mess'rs. Ingham, Branch and LUMPKIN— it would not only ho highly creditable to them hut il would also save their friends a great deal of trouble in endeavoring to make them appear in j characters that don’t unit them. Farewell, Ned! I Rrquieseut in pare.

This she has done-and in doiujso, she has not only fulfilled a duly w hich sheow>> herself, hut has promply met the wishes of tte general government in relation to thus long agita ted question. The motives of the Reverend gentlemen \vh> challenged the right of our state to pass and o force a law thus sanctioned by every legitimate authority known to the constitution, may net only well he questioned; but deserves in our estima tion the most unqualified reprehension. Titcy were advised of the existence of the law by he . Governor, and affectionately admonished not t violate it. Instead of receiving the aduionitioa in the f, • idly and Christian like spirit which dic tated it, they spurned its righteous iinposition.- Now, let us not he uncharitable in our conci sions. Il those Missionaries were religions!; devoted to the holy cause w hich they affected W espouse, permit us to ask, would they have hesi tated to yield obedience to the laws of the land As Christians w o think they* could not —as Pat* riots we know they should not; because the a" of Georgia exacted from them no other obedi ence, than such as w as imperative upon them American citizens generally. The law did n prohibit them from discharging their clerict duties to the duped and benighted Indian; bu. on the contrary it said to them, in the voice < our Governor — “Such is the law of our state- ! docs not interfere with your privihges —obey t<— and may God spi ed you in your holy mission. But u font was tlie answer of the culprit Misdw - aries? “We cannot, Sir, recognize your autliori'.’- It is true you have told us, that the State has made a law for the government of its owndoma®" 4 law too, which lias been sanctioned by the P® SI den t and by the Congress of the United States-** But, we heed it not, and are willing to hazan its opposition, and to abide the penalty. ’ This unwarrantable and unprecedented hoffo ty to a law, which had been conceded by f er ) authority kno-wn to the Constitution, wasiiJubi table evidence that the Missionaries alluded to. w ere actuated more by a desire to oppose,f*® colly, the sovereign rights of Georgia, as*‘ s ’ latP than to promote, religiously, the moral conditio l1 ® the Cherokees, as a people —because, as writs* already intimated, the law did not infringe up either the civil, political, or religious ho* 18 the Missionaries; hut, on the contrary, " aS ling to support them in the full and unrestrfote exercise of each of those privileges. I ao’er sue circumstances, it is evident, that the policy °‘ Missionaries, in treating with contempt the I'? obligations, imposed equally alike upon others upon themselves, was more with a vie"’ to tjt stall the operation of our laws than with any tention to do good to the Indians, in *“ e " Christianity or civilization. For, Lad the sionaries been actuated by feelings ot cliristK* 8 they would not have rebelled against the L" 1 the countiy, which they were bqtind tosifoP* not only as citizens hut as professors of re inasmuch as their church imposes such *” ,u ti n upon them by the most soltma cfobij* —and neither would they have i|illuenced l, | rokecs to oppose the laws, had they beva 10 ‘ ly desirous of promoting their Safety, * ia PL' , or civilization. The Missionaries have their own acts, not only forfeited their rl £' American citizens, hut also thejr iiainan 1* ministers of tho holy God, These facts prove, without the neecM' 1 ) ® thcr demonstration, that Ute cppos>fi° n 01 fending Missionaries, was more the re..u * tied hostility to the constitution#! l ir °' * 1
