Yesterday morning, in this Borough, Mr.. WILL

Gov. Troup's opinions and conduct respecting
the Indians the neghborhood. are thus contrasted
by the Boston Journal wi tn those Of Massachusetts.
"The Governor of Georgia, if we understand
him. asserts right in the state to occupy" the
Indian lands at pleasure. and OF course to drive
away the natives beyond the Mississippi, or into the
sea. We do not know what others may think Of
this, but to us it see to be the most inconsderate
declaration which governor Troup has ever made
and this we take to be saying great deal. Is it
possible, that the Gov. of Georg say in sober
ness or her intelligent legislators in soberness hear.
that the state of Georgia may drive oft or destroy
the lniansf for one or the other results necessarily
and Immediately from the right to occupy Was ever
such thing heard OF in any OF these states, or In this
Republic ! Massachusetts. 50 far from cainlng the
right to seize all Hbona upon Indian lands, passed
law almost 200 years ago. that the Indians should moi
part with their lands any terms without the con
sent of the Legislature. The object OF this law
was to protect the natives against the fraud ant
usurpaton of ne, ,hbors, who had nothing Christian
or civilized about them, except their skins. Alter
wards the Indians were permitted to dispose Of the
lands with the consent osthe governor and council
but now the original act is revived, and no lndlaI
in Massachusetts, can part with his land without th
leave of the legislature. Nor is this all both Mas
sachusetts and Maine have appropriated mcncy fn

cree ting school houses and hiring literary and reli
gious teachers The society Tor prupagating III
