We would simply direct the attention Of
every intelligent citizen 10 two or three
provisions of this fragrant and self-stultIfy-
ing and nullifying law. The laws, nsa-
ges and immemorial customs Of the Cher
oIee nation are not only declared Ito be
null and void, as if they had never exist
cd" after the first OF June, but they can
not be given in evidence in any court, IN
which a contract made under them, while
their binding force, (which, up to the first
Of juno, is virtually admitted by his act
! of annlhilation,) was in operation. Oh
course the legislature that passed the act
for the credit of their common sense,
common humanity being out Of the ques-
ton, must be understood TO have assumed.
that the Indians arc beasts-aot men.
Neither Nero, nor Domitian, nor Caligula,
nor any hero of SuetonIus ever dared TO
make such an edict; for no show Of lions
and glUdators would have reconclled even
the scum and scrvile mob of Rome to
such impuden; legislation. We have al
ready adverted more than once TO the pro-
visions winch are found IN the above act;
making the expression Of opinion Jcl0Hy,
but would beg that the sections may be pc
rused, as they speak Tor themselves, and
leave every honest man 20 make his own
COMMUNICATIVE VIC again request at

And yet, with such proceeding on the
part Of Georgia before orr eyes, with de-
gree o. impudent assurance almost with
out aparallel even in this ago OF brouZe,
VIC ale told that the Indians are not 10 be
compelled to leave their houses and the
gru'es of their fathers, aud that nothing
canbe more harness and proper than the
/ lau act Of Congress forced through by the
executive expressly TO como IN aid OF these
lynnnical and cruel enactmeuls Of the IA
palous Gcorgians. The language Of the
administration press, however, Is but the
Iecl0 Of the sentiment of the executive
mnd, as the reader will sec by the follow
I IN. statement, which, we believe may be
relied on as true. During the last week
OF he session, after the passage of the In
dian bill, the Delegation of the Cherokee
uaion which had been watching over the
lutcests CT their countrymen at Washing
ton called on the President as an act of
courtesy, previously to their departure
honewards. In the course of the CONVEX
satin, the chiefs having said something
abou claiming the protection of the execu.
tive the President drew himself up with
I dlgn.y, and addressed them as follows
YES, you may 90 home secure. You
/ sbal be protected. Yes raising his
I arm the arm of Andrew Jackson will
protect YOU. But you must submit; to the
law. OF Georgia though. I'll tell YOU

which the foul cupidity of a few spccuIa
