not. BY neglect, be deprived Of the pleasure
of rewardng their friends by punishlns tneir
reputed enemies. But to return to the lndian
bin.-By it the President is authorised to per-
suade advise, and to treat; and while ne IS so en-
gascti. il will be his duty to take care the trea
ties and laws of the United States are not yiolat-
ed by Georgia or BY the Indians. He must pro-
tect. while he is endeayoring BY friendly advice,
by persuasive counsel and by pecunlary donations,
TO excite the Indians to 60 to a new home, and u
Georgia will not patiently walt the result OF his
exertions, to sustain the supremacy OF the fe-
deral constitution. and of treaties and laws made
pursuant to its authority, it will be only neceSsa-
nv for him to invoke the aid of the supreme judi
ciary. and not be excited to use military force Tor
or against either party. Let him do tins, ana
the people will be with him-not only those Oh
the East. or Of the North, or OF the west, Dnt
also those of the South. They have calculated
the value of the Union, and they will not allow
i, to be nullifed, and perhaps no. sufier IT even
to be amended, less it should be deprived OF some
Of its most essential privileges. to be without
which1t would not preserve the independence and
nrosnerity of the Union. They dread the va
Grant ambition of the professed advocates of
State Rights. Rather than suffer disiuncton
of the States, they will advocate their consolida-.
ton: to prevent civil war aud dependence on
foreign nations either will bring the cost Of free
dom and happiness. The '.log-roller.' of the
West have estimated its value, and are sure.
without its restraining power, the States would
separate and cease to cOniide their safety, pros
petity and happiness to the care and beneicent
supefintendence of the Union. With dssolu-
ton Of the States, they are certain, would 60
their freedom and comfort, and be subjects to
tyrant who will seize their property fer base pur-
poses. The purest patriots are found among
these unsOphisicated .'log rollers; they are al
ways prepared to confront foreign enemy, and
ready to arrest domestic traitors, and will prompt
" put down all nulliiers combined to resist the
laws and government Of the Union. The unex-
pected veto has arrested the Improvement OF their
rude country; when the time of suffrage shall
return, they will remember who did them that
unkindness. To them, as injurious as the Indian
bill is to the Indians, and more so, if it Is as its
friends say it is, an act Of charity, comprehend
| ing every attribute of humanity. OF mercy, and
| of benevolcn., The veto has none Of these
graces to recommend it to the fayor Of the people
Of the West or to any state III the Union. For
the honor of my countrv. for the beadtude Of the
defenceless Indians, may the Presldentnot think
the Indian bill is one of basisnent to De enfOrc-
ed BY harsh arbitrary authority: but NAV be
! think il to be one of colonization: to be effect
ed BY the perseyering beneyolence Of moral
government aud be- its fay0rite agent. Ii he shalt
| treat the indians as he has treated many left in
office by his excellent predecessor, he will, TO
your correspondents disappointment fx the cha
racter of his temper to be as relentless as many
OF the s.5est and wiscSt" OF his fellow-citizens
believe ii to be- Thousands will think his heart is
most highly excited into Joyous rapture by the
sorrow he inficts on interiors who have no power
10 resist. MAY lis gentle treatment of the
Indians prove he is not an innate proscriber
that he was not born Ti5erius, and that
the abuse of power is attributable to the Seiani-
ass his unlucky destiny forced into his Cabi-
