to the Hayden, and received in return
the following laconic and noble reply:
Sir,
1 write insults in the sand; favors
on the marble.
Another Incidents worthy of notice.
As Mr.. Granville was about TO leave the
table, observing the epauiette upon the
officers shoulder, he remarked" Sir, |
am an officer also in my own country,
and if l'were there, it would be a part
of my duty, Sir, 10 take into custody
those Hayticns who insult strangers.''

ners, it would not be amiss to send some
of our young men, to President Boyer
that they may learn how TO behave
themselves like gentlemen and like
Christians. hid.
Governor TrOup.-The National In
telligencer of Saturday last contains
letter from Gov. Troup, of Georgia, TO
the President of the United States, on.
the subject Of his message TO Congress-,
relative TO the Cherokee lands in Geor-
gia. This document is written in the
same sintcmperate and indecorous style
which characterized the letter of the
Georgia delegation, on which we took
occasion to comment few weeks ago.
The governor considers the avowal Of
the principles which the President main
lalns In his message as "a destruction of
the compact between Georgia and the
United States. It makes it," he says,
''null and void, and leaves no alternative
to Georgia but acquiescence or resistance.
II nulllfied by the act of one party, the
other party is absolved, and both are
free TO declare the resumption of their
original rights. Give us back our lands
we give you back your money-and
without making war upon the State of
Alabama and Nlississippi,we will run the
risk Of concluding with them the best
bargain we can"
The crime OF the President and Con
gress is exhibited in all its enormiy in
the following paragraph. Who that
reads it will not wonder that men capa-
bic Of such conduct should be exalted
to their high stations by Christian peo-
pie
/" 1t is fact unquestionable, that, for
Is or 90 years past, well knowing your
obligations to Georgia under the com
pact, you have encouraged the Chero
KEGS to make progress in all the arts of
civilized life, of first necessity and COM
fort, within the acknowledged limits of
Georgia. They have been rearing
ilocks and herds, constructing comfor.
table buildings, making agricultural i'm
provemenls of various kinds, organizing
a government adapted to the grade of
civilization they have reached, with
schools and religious establishments, APP
puTtenances, sc. Apd you encouraged
the beginning and progress of these
things with certain fore knowledge thew
could by no possibility be endured. They
have been taught by the United States
to value them as they ought; if they
had not been taught altogether at our
expense, and without our consent. we
would have had no objection. But this
has been the sole cause of the unwi.
Iingness.of any part of the Cherokee+
TO move. The United States, therefore,
create the cause. The Cherokees a.
vail themselves oft, u torn their backs
upon your propositions for negotiation,
and you have no means of escaping
the difficulty hut by asserting for the
Cherokee s, rights which they have not,
and denying rights to Georgia which
you ought 10 know she has" I5td.
