BY tomorrow, the public viii! probably know the

~aS the question one of extirpation, instead of the
exchange OF one good country for another. the alter.
native ought to be preferred to the dissolution of the
American Union, in which all mankind have a stake.
The question IS one of great and paramount state
n~"e"ssty-weighed against which, the faith Of Indian
treaties, the abstract rights of Indians, and even their
very ezls,ence, ought not to weigh 4 feather. If the
Cherokecs remain in Georgia, or if the United States
attempt to sastai them in their light to DO so. il is
plain that Tar. cigU lCuy, the worst sort of war. is tho
conseql nee And IS any true American WILING TO
incur this consequences, in preference to COMPELLING
the Indians to exchange couatries-an EXCHANGE

to assume a mcnacing attitude. To this dilemma arc
things brought. or rather about to be brought. by the
application for an injunction; a course which, he .,ho
