our Executive Diplomatist receives TINS assu,-
ance-"It seems that so lar from the Presiden.
intending toacquire all the lands, tnat ne ~
truth and ia fact did not so intend. 70
now believed and known for the hrst time upon
the authority of his own avowal that il was mol
the intention of the President to acquire all tue
lands"
And apain-" If the President desired the &C
QUESTION Of all in so many ,oords, with what coh-
sis,ency can il be said that The fresioen' aiu "o
;ntendto acquire aN" Now as it relates TO the
last clause os this statement, we say IN Inc race
of Governor Troup, tina, such language mas
ever been used by the President or any OF his
Secretaries towards Governor Troup or any OF
the civil authorities of Georgia, and no man
knows this better than the Governor himself.
Gov. TrouD saws" It is now known and be-
lieyed upon the authority Of his own avowal That
it was not the intention of the President 10 &C
ouire all the land" We again throw back The
assevera,ion that the President has neUer au0,Ced
such an intention, and we challenge the world 10
prove it.
The Augusta Chronicle Of the l4,h instant,
in its commentary on the report OF the commit
tee of The Senate, has the following remarks
We are inclined to believe it will not be over
looked by the reader, than in its in,endeded CEN
sures of the President it has gone much fur
ther upon the faith of promised amicable and
diyhified bearing on the part OF the authorities o,
Georgia, than has been justified by subsequent;
occurrences.
The above extracts are sufficient TO show the
feelings Of the rejecting part OF even the ei''-
zens of Georgia, as to the conduct OF their Ex-
ecu,ive. 1t is fair to suppose that the ordinary
feelings Of state pride, would, in such contn-
l., ~ ,pln m
nifty in opposition 10 any attempted or fancied
aggression as could be conceived; and the pow
erful deviation from this unanimity which we
have thus shown, is a strong argument in Ia
yor ofthe moderation and propriety which have
marked the course Of the President.
But the conduc, the Executive does not rest
for its vindication on mere inference. We find,
in the papers of the State of Alabama, almost
as much interested in the issue of the affair as
Georgia herself, an express approval OF the
course of the President. The Florence Regis
ter Of the Sd instant, in commenting on the
Message OF the President, in reference to this
difference saws:
"The hrmness ofthe President on this occa-
sion is as much TO be admired as his modera-
lion. We have usually seen military force
employed to drive those whites from the Indian
Territory who had illegally gone there, but IN
this instance we have witnessed iorbearance
which we believe unprecedented in the annals
Of our country"
And again, after rebntIing the various mis-
statements which have been made by the Oppo-
si,ion papers, the Editor of the Register pro-
ceeds:
at has likewise been argued that the EXecu-
tive has been neglectful in eXlinguishing the In
dian title 10 lands 10 .hs sSH'hfrD S3ass 1F9@
and Slaveholdlng States from exeItiDg that
weight IN the Union they would otherwise pos
sess! We would ask where is the shadow Of
pro # to sustain this opinion? Is it to be found
in the effort of the present administration 10 &C
quir- the Greek lands? Is II TO be found in the
conduct Of the Commissioners appointed TO
treat with the ChiCkasaw and Choctaw tribes.
after it is so well known that the mos. l5erai
terms were offered the Indians 10 procure their
removal? We presume not and the people
Of the United States arc not 10 be So easily gW-
led or cheated into anv acquiescenc" 10 the
views Of designing set Of men who are plot
ting, by the vi'cst arts, to procure the eJecuon
from ofnee Of the members of the present Adj
ministra,on, tina, they NAV SET up, on their rn
ms, some idol whom they worship with zeal
that would honor a better cause"
The Huntsville Advocate of the 9th instant
also, in some remarks on the same subject has
the following sentences
eve wish to give every man his due, and
therefore do not hesitate to say, tina, the Pre- 81
dent in this whole affair has acted correctly and
perfectly consistent with the high responsible
ties which necessarily devolve upon him.
"Hc is bound to see that the laws are proper.
~ administered, and that all treaties and COM
pacts made with other nations shall be pro-
pery carried into execution"
The Sonth.Carolina Spectator &C the 10Th
inst. in reference to the report of the Committee
Of the House OF Repre- senta,ives, says:
at treats the whole subject with masters
hand, and places Georgia too clearl, in the
wrong in every part Of this unhappy oon:rover-
sy, To leave the least susceptibility o. jusifica
ton for Governor Troup, and his i'll advised
abettors
We shall not swell these extracts further than
bv adding single paragraph from the Ohio
Oliver Branch, which runs thus:
"The course adopted nv the local authorities
OF Georgia, goes virtually 10 w:est from the
General Government the treaiy-niak,ng power,
by perlinaceouslv persisting TO perform certain
