JUNIUS HILLYER, of Clark. CHARLES H. NELSON, of Cherokee. B. GRAVES, of Newton. J. G. MeWHORTER, of Richmond. THE PRESIDENT—GOVERNOR GILMER —CHEROKEE AFFAIRS. It affords us sincere gratification to lay be fore our readers in this day’s paper the ex cellent communication of the Secretary of War, both clear and explicit, in ans we* to the request of our Delega’ion in Congress to be informed of the actual intentions of fie Go vernment in reference to the speedy and per fect execution of the treaty of lS u; which cat! from our Delegation was mads in pursu it of the wish of Gov. Gilmer, as expressed in a communication to them. We commend the letter of the Secretary of War to the can did and careful attention of our readers, and trust they will rise from its perusal with fa. different views of the aim and design of the Government in its recent action upon our Cherokee relations, than were at first enter ialocd• It states clearly and unequivocally that the President did not contemplate any chancre in the treaty, any delay in its execu tion, or any modification of the oruers ami instructions first .asued to the General officer . i U with the removal of the Cherokees, v- ess lome one, or all of the States ini nest ed, first signified a willingness to alter tne terms of the treaty, or permit some little de lay ir the emigration of the Indians. This explanation ought, we think, to be satisfac tory, and to persuade the friends of the Ad ministration, at least, that the Government intended no infringement of the rights of the States, cr any alteration or abridgement of the terms of the treaty, or, indeed, any vari ation of the instructions firet framed and issued, for the prompt execution of its provi sions, without the States interested came for ward, and expressed their concurrence in the arrangement. This v* the fair, the correct and proper view oi the subject, and the letter we publish confirms and reiterates this view as the one upon which the Government acted from the outset. We regret extremely, as we have before said, hat the President sub mitted such n proposition to the States within which the Cherokees have been residing, end that he did not permit the provisions of the treaty of 1835 to be executed, without inter ference, or suggestions of any kind, calcula ted, ever in the remotest degree, to arouse the public feehng, to inflame political hatred, and to lead to results prejudicial toihe ascen dancy of Republican principles, and injurious to the perpetuation of the cardinal doctrines or which hit administration is based. Our Ind an relations have, in all time past, been the occasion of difficulty and dissension, some times of a wry excited character, hoi. ween dutoreui Mates, between Stales and the General Government, and wo are surprized that a statesman of the forethought and saga city of Mr. Van Buren did not roc j pre cedents on this subject, and leave the treaty, and the laws since made, by the Sts s inte rested, in confbrmhy with it, to take (heir natural course, without comment or sugges tion. Although we disapprove decidedly of the cbmmunication made to Congress by the Se cretary of War. and of all inter feres imem with the treaty, j vi j stipulations, except so far as to execute them judiciously and promptly, and . a .cordan e with the dictates of jusiice and humanity, we arc yet disinclined to cast cen sure where -t is undeserved, and to deal in misrepresentations and abuse, with ihe de sign to excite political ciamor, create unjust suspicions, and thereby accomplish sinister purposes. Gov. Gilmer seems to have had some such object ia view, if we are allowed to infer any thrg l>ca ihe tone and temper and nvmber of i s communication*. First, a letter to the Secretary of Wai ; then, anothei to the Georgia Delegation in Congress, and a third to vVilliam C. Dawson, b member of that Delegation; all following in rapid succt; non, snd charged with hrimstone and thunder. j What more was necessary on the part of the Executive 01 Georgia, than a prompt, digni fied and decided negative to the proposal of the President, such an one as we trust and believe will emanate from tin* Executives of The other three S<au ,: > interested : Perhaps a Setter to our Delegation in Congress, couched in proper terms, w; . . not we been amiss, as they were at tne seat ui G...'cri;cuecL, ul could consult freely with the President of the United Staler, and the Governor of Georgia, and thus be of service to both. But the let ter to Mr. Dawson outrages all dignity and propriety. Independently of the disrespect shown to ihe other members of the Delega tion, by addressing one of them at great length, its language, its manner, and the temper exhibited in every line of it, are highly objectionable, and permit us to say, will, when the excitement of the moment has passed away, reflect no credit on the Gover nor of Georgia, nor be sanctioned by en lightened public opinion, of whatever cast in politics. Compare and contrast the letters of Gov. Gilmer with those of Mr. Poinsett, and who will not be surprized at the immense differ ence ; and what Georgian will not rise from the perusal of these official documents with sincere regret that Gov. Gilmer should have so far lost sight of the dignity of his station, and the proprieties of official correspondence, as to indulge in language suited only to the polluted columns of a degraded partizan press. The letter to Mr. Dawson, is, indeed, in the language of the ‘ Standard of the Union, ‘a production, which,-by the fairest rules oi criticism, may be well considered an t. egitimate in the republic of letters.’ It finds no kindred there —Diplomacy disowns It— Philosophy spurns it —Logic weep3 over it— and Rhetoric laughs it to scorn. W e there fore leave it to other hands, and after times, to give it * A local habitation and a name.’ We here lay down our pen to make room for the excellent letter of Mr. Poinsett: Department of War, June 7, 1838. Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowl edge ihe receipt of your communication of the sth inst. covering a letter from the Gov ernor of Georgia, and asking a reply to the inquiries it contains. Although they have been substantially answered in the reply of the Department to his Excellency’s letter of the 28th ult. the tenor of these interrogato iics manifests such an extraordinary misap prehension of the intentions , f tne Govern ment, that it i.ecomes necessary, again, to ex plain them. His Excellency desires to lie informed if t is the President’s ‘intention to continue the present delay in removing he Cherokees by the troops under Geo. Scott for the purpose of effecting that object by contract with ihe agents of Ross and his friends, or any other purpose?’ The Department does not under stand wliat is meant f v the present delay.— When Gen. Scott left Washington, he car ried with him instructions to proceed without delay in the ren.ovai of the Cherokees, and his despatches, since received, show that he took the proper measures to obey his instruc tions with his cha ic eristic promptness and energy. When lie conciliatory proposals of the Executive to he Cherokee defegation were sub"’’” ’ Congress, the General j Yv~o ag-m instructed to rrkiti- Os Ib* f. j of the measures he had adopted for ‘he rc | moval of the Indians, and whether it was to be conducted bv the troops under his com ! inatui or by the Cherokees themselves, wheth er it-was to he compulsory or voluntary, to permit no unnecessary delay in its execution. His Excellency desires still further to know, * wnelher it is his (the President’s) intention to maintain the Indians by force upon the soil of Georgia,in opposition to ihe will of the [ State and the rights of its inhabitants, to j whom the lands have been granted?’ I In rtply to the proposition of the Cherokee delegation for an extension of time, they were told m express terms, that where the rights and interests of sovereign Slates were con cerned the President cou'd not enter into any engagement with the Cherokees,and that no delay could he granted without the assent of the states interested in the execution of the treaty. In asking that assent the States are merely requested not to press their claims in a manner to occasion unnecessary discomfort and inconvenience to Ihe Indian , tnd Gen. Scott is at the same time ‘nstrn ed to com menee his operations in tnv pa. f ;,e t< • lory where the lands have ‘been disposed of, meaning Georgia, and to conduct them iri such a manner as to place the proprietor? in possession of their -fates with as little delay as possible. Department is, therefore, utterly at a loss to understand hov; the Preside;. -■ viev i should have been so misapprehended ns to give rise to these questions, and now h-gs leave, through you, explicitly to deny and such are, or ever have been, the intent otis u. the Government.

Washington. j THE WHIG PRESSES—MONEY MARKET. The Northern papers particularly devoted |to tr cause of Whigism, are exceedingly i unfair in their political dealings —are appa | renlly governed by bias and prejudice—an d absolutely not unfrequenlly clothe their arti .ii in the unseemly garb of misrepresentation and untruth. For example, when spei king of the proba bility of a general resumption by the banks, they protract till the remotest poss ble period ? say the first of January next and assign as a cause for deferring to a sen I so late, that the a jmmiai.duon is purs trig a course of policy calculated to throw obstacles in the way of the banks so thai the - find it impos- I sible to tesume even when they would. This jis preposterous, unfair and untrue It is a j material manufactured by order of tne disaf fected, restless, ambitious Whig party, who are panting to overthrow the present people's administration, that they may install into office such men as are seeking to elevate themselves amongst ’be people by tawning sycophancy; but who once planting *heir foot upon the great lever of power would spring into existence a system of aristocracy and tyrannical rule, of which the American people are as yet innocent and .’■.'••ran - . It may be read in ihe great oracle Vv big *no •n tne City of New York, the Courier and Enquirer, that ‘if Mr. Woodbury’s recent circular should continue in force, or should the Sub-Treasury bill become a law,’ then, in such case, there can be no resumption earlier than the first of January. To tins we oppose the assertions —and n.i opponents deai only in assertions—that the present, specie circular is in no wise calculated to louder resumption but on the contrary, holds oiu *.wC~..ia~,v....en: to the banks in view of resump.ion, making such bank notes the legal currency of the country as are ready at all times to be redeemed with either gold or silver; and pray what is the value of that piece of paper (it matters not about its being in the comely shape of a bank bill) to which there is attached no responsibility, and which you may pull out of your pocket and put back again as often as you will, but can never pass it, except at a discount, or realize lor it the hard currency of the country ! The age of humbugs may be in its zenith, but that of ragged shinplasters and irredeemable bank notes is drawing rapidly to a close ; the peo ple are opening their eyes to all sorts of im position, and are determined that though from the force of circumstances they them selves may he influenced and corrupted by monied monopolies and shave shops under the false guise of banks , yet the government which was founded in the wisdom of their fathers, and which they are ready to main tain with their lives, shall not be subject to an influence so baneful, a principle so corrupt, a power so dangerous. As to the Sub-Treasury system preventing resumption, the idea is still more ridiculous than the former. The very quintessence of that svstem is its principle of divorce —a di vorce between government and the banks; thereby leaving the banka in the different States to financier in their own way, and to reap all the advantages of their own State s legislation. It is not then a3 our opponents represent, that the measures and policy of the adminis tration serve to prevent a general resumption of specie payments. On the contrary the ad ministration has long ago, when the move was first made in New York, declared that the effort, on the part of the New York banks to resume at an early day, should be seconded and sustained by the general gov ernment. But the simple truth is that the banks are timid, fearful, and wanting in con fidence If they would but make a simulta neous move they wouri nrobably find it much easier to resume than tliey had supposed.— ! The subject, however s rapidly growing and ! pressing itself upon public attention. The country is flooding wi h money; some twen ty millions of gold and silver having been imported since the crisis began, and we have no sea -8 but that a general resumption will take place early in the faii, notwithstanding the bug-bears raised by the obstreperous Whigs about the Sub-Treasury—the new circular —ano Mr Van Buren’s unfavorable policy—together with a thousand and one et ceteras of the like comical shapes and forms; and more than all this, it is on this very same doctrine of resumption we calculate most cunhdently that Mr. Van Buren will regain New York, and thus secure for himself the next Pres’denbal election beyond even tie shadow of a doubt. The present administration is in favor of a general resumption, and will lend its aid and support to the fullest ex'ent. CONGRESS. Washington City,June It, 1838.

Editors Wniie it is the duty of every public man. and every individual, seeking popular favor, to make known his political principles, and to avow lis prefer ences and predilections with reference to those wl sit in high places and administer the laws of ihe land, it is more especially incum bent upon the conductors of public journals to announce, in a clear and distinct manner, | io thtir readers who are their favorite candi dates for public office, and to assign their i reasons for their preferences. This I lay n as a fundamental principle in political |. ‘>r omy, whicn may not be ckvegarc 1 • with j impunity. Wherefore then is it, that your neighbor, thr ‘lnquirer,’ remains so perfectly silent on the subiect of the next Presidency ? Have the conductors of that print no choice ?

The writer of this article is one of their constant readers, but with all the attention he can bestow upon their editorials he cannot discover what course they are steering. It is well under stood that a gentleman who has recently con nected himself with the editorial department of that paper is a good Clay man, and I had supposed that when his pen was nibbed it would certainly have been with a keen point to write down the ability, the consistency, the patriotism, of Henry Clay of Kentucky.— But not a word for the illustrious statesman of Ashland! Well, mayhap the ‘Enquirer’ is pursuing the most politic course; for it would be too bad, in these hard times, to cut up quills and spill ink in the advocacy of a cause which can, by no manner of legerdemain, be made to triumph in the South.

To the Editors of the Columbus Sentinel and Herald. ’ Gentlemen : Permit me, through the me -i .’ii, of your paper, to state :i Itw facts to the public, in answer to a presentment made ! hr the first panne! of the Grand Jury of Vi;s ----1 ci'yvee county, April Term, 1838, and publish jin the Sentinel of May 1 Oth past. I hoi t rim? : a Grand Jury should have undoubted testi mony, before they dare assail the chu icter ! of the humblest it ■!'■ hiual in the land, under tie imposing form ol a presentment, :>id ad vertise him as having been guiltyv o? a high offence. That part of the presen nent to which I call the attention of the pcoiic, reads thus: ‘We present. William IVtdike. Ca;> lain of the steamboat Marion Wm. Lowrey, engineer, Charles Pickett a: Joseph Brady, hands on board the same. ,j jfi j(. jids and abet tors, which boat at Vne time, an j ia y ? ow ’ be in the service r,t t h e United Stair 8 ’ ,l,r ! he offence of kidnapping on or abou 25,h March last.’ The Jury then give lhe n;imes of the individuals kidnapped, Rial U a feeling commentary upon theof enc ®'. * ie Grand Jury have acted with a precipitat.’On unbecoming a body selected for nc!r vv ®^ onD \ or thev have acted uncW influence ol base and false testimony, it regard to every particular connected with t’ IS imaginary of fence.

They took with them I the three younger persona mentioned in the ! presentmei: and so far as known to any i !;odv not wi'h their consent, but desire. | The first ume that 1 saw anv of the innividu- I ab whom ih< jury say were kidnapped, after 1 the ?:;is it was allege* to have been done,! v,v. hi the Ray, vvhei . -a a conversation with j them, they —~ reason for taking the children, the drunkenness of their parents, and their fear of leaving them in their care. What a shame, that such parents should be come witnesses before the Grand Jury in publishing their own infamy, when by their own drunken, brutal conduct, they had dis graced their daughters bv compelling them to barter their characters for food and raiment. These kidnapped women have been some time in and about Columbus, as many wit nesses can testify, and their well known char acters would forbid the idea that they could urffler any circumstances he run away with. These women go where they please, and the strongest solicitations of old Mr. Saunders were not sufficient to prevail upon them to return home, as I know he will testify, from a trial he made since the time of the present ment. Now I ask the public if these are the sort of daughters that draw out the tender sympathies of an honorable and virtuous com munity ? I wonder whether it will he the set tled policy of the Grand Jury of Muscogee, to present it as a grievance whenever a woman of ill-fame shall leave their city, and villify the characters of men by a publication in the newspapers, who were not within fifty miles of the town when they took their leave. I trust that the public will now understand enough of this matter, to know that the men charged with kidnapping would scorn such an act as much as any member of the Grand Jury; and with an expression of my dtsire that they may learn better sense before their country calls them again to the discharge of such a trust, 1 take mv leave.
