From /he Georgia Journal. CHEROKEE EMIGRATION. It was stated sometime ago, in this paper, that the President had directed the opening of an Emigration Office in the Cherokee country. The letters which follow, explain satisafctqrily, the delay that lias occurred in j carrying the directions of the President into: execution. They show, moreover, the dili gence with which that measure has been ur ged upon the government at Washington, by Gov. G i liner,and the success that Ims attend ed his eli'orts, to accomplish t lie wishes of the people of Georgia, in regard to the removal of these Indians. Executive Dei* yktmrn-t, Georgia. ) Mittedgerittc, til UhJune, 1681. Pm —Circumstances have enabled me to collect much information as to the present temper and designs and probable future course of the Cherokee*. The great hit rest felt by the people of this State, in having them re moved from its limits, and fli.i contract ol 1802, finally executed, has induced mo to communicate directly to the President, so much of that information as may possibly 1 * useful to him, in his endeavors to el Ret that object. Strong hopes were at o;i< time entr r titined, that if the decision of the Supreme Court, should be against the application of the Chcrokeesfor a writ of injunction, to stay, the jurisdiction of Georgia, that they would immediately treat with the United States, for an extinguishment of the present rights. It is known that previous to the decision tied during the pendency of the case he fore tin Nupreme t 'onrt, that all classes I iuil expressed 1 their belief, that such would he the course pursed by them. These hopes have howev er proved illusory, since that decision the wealthy and influential half breed Chiefs, have been excelling.active in persuading the people, to continue their pres -nt residence 1 an opposition to the desire cl the Genera! Government to. extinguish their title, and in defiance of the rights and powor of Georgia. These efforts have unfortunate ly la m very; eucccssful. This has resulted hum ihe extra j idteiui opinions of the Supreme Court,-in determining that the Cherokees formed a dis tinct political society, separate from others and cajvihlo of managing its own rdhtirs, and that they were the rightful owners, of the soil which tln-y i.v.uni-d. £!•' "tings of the in ';an people have been called in mostof their toTi'S ai which their chiefs have usrd those opinions to convince them that their rights of, sell government and soil, were independent! ol the United States and Georgia, and would be secured to them through the Supreme j Gourt, and the change (which they represent j to be certain) in the administration of the General Government. From all the information I have received, j I am satisfied that the President would fail in ; any immediate efforts he might make to ex- j ecute the contract of 1802, by treaty with the Chiefs, and that the attempt would only ex pose the government to then insults, and in- j crease their confidence in the unfortunate! meastiles which they are pursuing. It is most respectfully suggested to the Prc- I sidcu(, that no measures can at present be ! successfully adopted for the execution of the j contract of 1802, except that of inducing in dividuals, families and towns, to emigrate j from tiiis State; by paying them the value for their improvements, or giving them such oth er advantages as may be found acceptable. And the President is earnestly requested to try the effects of ibis measure and as curly as possible. The great body of the common Indians arc without wealth or power. Nothing prevents their acquiescence with the offers of the Gov ernment, to unite them with that part ol tlieir tribe on the West of the Mississippi—but th eir habitual submission to tfic control of’ their chiefs, and their inert and liritlcss cha racter. What is saiil of their strong desire j not to be separated from the bones of their fa-: thers, is but the expression of those whose an-1 cestors remains are deposited in Europe orj the States. The confidence of the common j Indians in tlie rule of their chiefs, hasbeen of late impaired by their appropriation ofiiie wealth of the tribe to themselves, their de scents from tiio whites, and the adoption of their manners, and their listlessncss of tem per irisome degree, overcome by the fear o! j unknown evils from the operation of the laws j of Georgia. The Guard w hich has been sta tioned among them, has been successful in ' preventing any trespasses upon the Gold ; Mines—in putting a stop to their Legislative j Councils; their Courts, the execution of their laws—and in removing all white nun from among them, disposed to excite their apposi tion to the Government of the State. The j Chiefs can no longer prevent the people from enrolling for emigration, by fear of punish ment. It is thought probable tluit the very attempt to remove the people by emigration will tend to produce a willingncgon the part of (he Chiefs to treat for (he exchange of their lands. They know that by the removal of the common Indians they will loose their power, Ihe exclusive possession of tlieir coun try, and become subjected to (lie prejudices of a white population with whom they will he mingled. I have enclosed to the Secretary of War. with the request that the same may be laid before the President, the copy of a letter just received from Dr. Reese, a respectable gentleman of this State, who has lately return ed from a visit to the Cherokees, and whose connection with some of the influential half breed Chiefs, has enabled him to acquire an accurate knowledge of the designs of that class of the Indians; and a correspondence had with the Surveyors who have been lately en gaged in dividing the country occupied hv the Cherokees, into sections and districts, j and whose employment led them into a very unreserved intercourse with all classes of the Indians. The opinions expressed by those persons in favor of the plan of removing the Cherokees by enrolling individuals for emi gration rather than by treaty with the Chiefs is confirmed by information derived from va rious other sources. The subject is of great importance not on ly to the peace, prosperity and quiet of the State, but to the character of its government. The obstructions which have been thrown in the way of the execution of the contract of 1802; the long continued indifference and ne glect of the Genera! Government, and its ac tual opposition in 1825-6; the constant tor rent of abuse which party violence has poured upon the authorities of the Ntato and its peo ple on account of the measures which have been adopted for the support of its rights of soil and jurisdiction; the influence which that partisan violence is now exercising over the Cherokee Chiefs, in inducing them to continue their opposition to the laws of Georgia, and in exciting th-ir expectation that by a change of the present administra tion of the general government, they will be secured in the rights of self-government; the conduct of the Chief Justice of the United States, in interfering w ith the administration of the criminal laws of the N tateptnd the inti mation given to the Cherokees, in the lute decision of the Supreme Court, that the laws of Georgia were exceedingly oppressive; that the State had neither the right of jurisdiction nor of soil, have all conspired so to irritate : the public mind here, that it will bcexccssive ' !y difficult, perhaps impossible, to prevent the Legislature from disposingof all the lands of the State assigned to the Indians for tlieir occupancy,except so much as may be in tlieir immediate poss - ssion, or required for tlieir support, unless the President shall be ena bled, during (he present year to adopt such as will giveassurance'that thcCher okccs will be certainly and shortly removed from the State. It is important that the government of the State should know, wheth er it has become impossible for the United States to execute the contract of 1902, so that its policy in relation to the Cherokees, may no longer be influenced by the expecta tion of that event. Hitherto the Indians have neither been compelled to pay taxes nor perform any ci vil duties. The only operation of the laws, since the extension ol the jurisdiction of the State over them, has been to protect them from injury, by the punishment of crimes, and the removal of ihe whites who had been tempted into their country by the attraction of the gold mines. The State is at this time maintaining a guard at great expense, for the purpose of preventing the exercise of assumed authority on the part of the Chiefs, from the expecta tion that the President would be enabled, du ring the present yfktr, to succeed in removing; Ihe Indians beyond its lituils. and the strong! disposition flit by its autboritk s to avoid the adoption of any measures which might nave even the appearance of violating the laws of humanity, or the natural rights of the In dians. If the Cherokees arc tocontinue inhabitants of the State, they nnlst be rendered subject to the ordinary operation of the laws, with less expense and trouble and nioie effectively than heretofore. The State must put an end to even the semblance of a distinct political so ciety among them. It has been hitherto per mitted, from tie belief that their happiness required it, and that such a State was not in convenient nor injurious to the rights of Geor gia. The agitation which the Indian ques tion Jias excited throughout our country, and the mariner in which it has endangered the most important political rights of the State, renders it necessary that this should be done, i’he millions of acres of land which nrJ now of no value, except to add to the gratification of the idle ambition of the chiefs, must be placed in the possession of actual cultivators : of the. soil, who may be made the instruments . lor the proper administration of the laws. It is hoped the President will concur with i me in the necessities of making such efforts | for removing the Cherokees, as will ascertain j whether it be practicable at all, by treaty, 1 enrollment for emigration, or any other ! means. I trust that the importance of this subject will be my sufficient apology to the Presi dent, for the manner in which it has been pressed upon his consideration. With sentiments of the highest considera tion,! remain most respectfully yours, &e. GEORGE R. GILMER. Andrew Jackson, President of the United States. (COPY) Department of War, August V2lh, 1931.

Our correspondent writes to us from : LawrencevilJt*on the loth iust. as fol lows ; “An interesting trial took place yes-1 terday before the Superior Court of tiiis county, in the cases of the State, against Elizur Butler, Samuel A. Worcester. James Trott. Missionaries, and eight! other white men, residents of the (Micro- ! kec country ; the latter with hut one ex ception, have intermarried with Chero kee women. 'They were arraigned and tried for liv-1 ing in the territory occupied by t'r* Chcr okees within the chartered limits of Georgia, in v iolation of a law passed at; the lust session of the Legislature, which required them to take an oath to .support: the Constitution and laws of the State— ft was contended by Counsel in tlieir be--j half, that the law was unconstitutional ; ; that the State has no right to exercise jurisdiction over that territory, and to make such an exaction of them, inas much as it was not required of other citi zens. The Counsel for the State insis ted that it had been the uniform practice for years past, to enforce the criminal ju risdiction of the State over that section of country; that individuals similarly sit uated had been punished for a violation of the laws; they cited authorities to j prove the right of the State in this re- ! sped, and that other States had, under precisely similar circumstances, exer cised both civil and criminal jurisdiction. A jury had been selected from a full pan ne] about 9 o'clock in the morning, sup posed to he as impartial and as little bi ased by prejudice as any that could be obtained. The argument did not close! until after 12 o’clock at night. Judge; Clayton then adverted to the evidence of the case, pronounced the law under which the prisoners were arraigned to be. in his opinion, clearly constitutional, cited in stances of decisions in sn.vlar cases heiv*- tofore determined, and directed the jury to decide for themselves from the evi dence i:i the case, as to their guilt or in nocence, The jury after fifteen min utes absence, returned, finding the whole guilty. The prisoners were to-day sentenced to undergo four years impris onment in the Penitentiary. When they were arraigned to receive sentence, and the question was put by the Court wh v it [should not he pronounced, Mr. Worces ter rose and replied to the following ef [ feet —if not in the precise words : ‘it please the Court —lf I am guil i tv of the charges which have been made against me in the argument of this case. I hut not alleged in the indictment, then 1 j have nothing to say why the sentence of the law should not he pronounced against me—But I aver before my God and my country, that I am not guilty of tlio.se charges. I therefore say what 1 have heretofore said, that the State of Geor gia has no right of jurisdiction over the territory in which 1 reside, and therefore this Court has no right to pass sentence upon me.” It lias been intimated here that these prisoners act under the advice of high amuse! —that their case is expected to he removed by writ of error and they re leased— some of them not desiring tiie Ex ecutive clemency.

As I sincerely believe this prosecution has been sought and endured, I will not say in an unchristian temper, but certain ly in a great spirit of opposition to the laws, for political effect, 1 deem it my du ty to make a few remarks on this occa sion, not by way of v indication of the t public authorities, for they need none, j hut to prevent a misdirection of public • opinion, and with a hope tlmt it, may un -1 deceive many ail ignorant and innocent individual, who has been seduced into a j similar transgression, by the high exam j pie of this iindiitiful disobedience. I i mean no reproaches, the penalty of Hie | law is punishment enough for the offence, ! and my respect for misfortune alwavs in clines me tiie rather to reduce than in crease its suffering. I shall speak a free and decided language, unmixed however, v,i:’i tiie least temper of nukindr.es:; Foreseeing, as I think I do, one of the main objects of this singular perverse ness, I will endeav or, as ar as is in my power to counteract it by a full and plain history of the case. I will not pretend to discuss the right of jurisdiction ; that matter is settled : hut that every body may see the true nature of tiiis whole transaction, I proceed to give the. follow ing particulars ; In the year 1825. the late venerable President, Monroe, com ’ ' \ muuicated to Congress, the design which { had been the subject of deep reflection by that benevolent sage, of ameliorating the condition of the Indians found on the East of the Mississippi, by way as h? emphatically expressed, “of atonement alike due from oar justice and humanity, for the long train of injuries inflicted on that race, by the discovery and settle ment of America ” I wish my limits would justify my presenting the whole of that valuable document, but 5 can on ly give a few of its outlines. He com-; indices thus : “being deeply impressed! with the opinion that the removal of tiie j Indian tribes, from the lands which they now occupy within the limits of the sev eral States and territories, to tiie coun try lying westward and northward there-1 of, is of very high importance fo our un ion, and may he accomplished in a man ner to promote the interest and happi ness of these tribes, the attention of the government lias been long drawn with | great solicitude to the object. For the | removal of the tribes within the limits of; Georgia, the motives have been particu-j larly strong, arising from the compact ■ with that State !” After stating many considerations in favor of this plan, such as the future peace and contentment of the Indians their removal from all the causes which disturb their quiet, harrass' their peace, oppose their religious in- 1 struction. and finally prevent their civi- I zation. hc?adds, “Experiencehas clear ly demonstrated., that in tlieir present state it is impossible to incorporate them in such masses in any form w hatever, in- 1 to system. It lias also demonstrated with equal certainty, that without a timely anticipation of, and provision against the dangers to which they are ex posed under causes which it will be diffi cult if not impossible to control, their i degradation and extermination will he in evitable. Though as he thought they] might be greatly attached to their native soil, from a v ariety of motives, yet “to prevent intrusion on their property, to teach them by regular instructions, the arts of civilized life, and to form them! into a regular government, were consul-1 ciations of so powerful a nature, as to in duce them, and especially their elders,] who had attained sufficient intelligence! to discern the progress of events, to ac quiesce in the plan, and by yielding to momentary sacrifices, secure tlieir fami lies and posterity from inevitable destruc tion.” “To the United States, (lie said.) the proposed arrangement offers many important ad v antages in addition to those | already enumerated. By the establish ment of such a government over these tribes, with their consent, we become in reality, their benefactors. The relation of conflicting interests which lias hereto fore existed between them, and oar fron tier settlement, will cease, there will ihe no more wars between them and the i United State. And it may he fairly pre ; siimed tint through the agency of such a ! government, the condition of ail the tribes inhabiting that vast region to the Pacif ic. may be essentially improved, their peace preserved, and our commerce ex tended,*’ Here then is the beginning am! foundation of that wise and humane policy laid by the general government, so worthy of the head and heart th it con ceived it for the final redemption of the ! debt of justice, due to this unfortunate people. Is it not just ? Is it not hu mane ? Ought it to he frustrated ? I put these questions to all considerate and reflecting minds. But this is not all ; this policy has the sanction of other great names. Mr. Calhoun in the same year as Secretary of War, made a re port to Congress on the same sub ject, and stati.l among other facts, that the whole ; nation, of Indians to he removed in the j United States, did not exceed 92,000, j (about the population of Rhode Island,) ; and that the sum of £95.000 would ef fect tin' object, and concluded by a dec laration that it fixed principles were ad opted to effect the object, such as had been I suggested by tiie President and himself. ] the “basis of a system might he laid. ! which in a few years would entirely ef fect the object in view, to the mutual ben efit of the government and the Indians, -and w hich in its operations would cffec i tmiUy arrest* the calamitous course of j events, to which they must be subject I without a radical change in the present j system.” The next statesman vve find : recommending this highly benevolent ' object, is President Adams, and in ac | cordauce with his views, the committee lon liiiiiau affairs, to whom that part of bis message was referred, called upon Mr. Barbour, then Secretary of War. for such report snd specific plan as was best calculated to accomplish the pur | I ,osc - Ue drafted a law for the commit ire. ami submitted it with very able and jirlii ious remarks, warmly supportin' 1 ’ ; the plan, anil enforcing it hv a v ariety of ! considerations replete with jiu tire and wisdom.
