The ground upon which sAesc protecting duties

Is 1t not remarkable, that this arrangement, so

proceedings thereupon, IL the Augusta Constitution

that the collision apprehended between Georgia and
the u States, the right of the former to extend
he- jurisdiction ever The Cherokee lands, has now
actually occurred

On "Wednesday evening the Governor transmitted
to both Houses, the subjolned communication rela-
ting TO Il addressed to him in q cover bu di
rected to 'he State Of Georgia" admonishing said
State to appear the second Monday in January next
before the Supreme Court of the United States. to
answer in the case Of an Indian tried at Hall Supe-
ror Court, found guilty Of murder and sentenced TO
be hung.
Ths summons is so extraordinary, that MANY
members Of the Legislature, and other citizens are
under the impressions that it is spurious Whe-
Their it is not, the Legislature have treated the
subject seriously and in a becoming manner, as will
be seen by the resolutions adopted by both bran

to that tribunal for having caused person who
had committed murder within the limits Of the
State, to be tried and convicted therefor
The object OF this mandate is to control the State
in the exercise Of its ordinary jurisdiction which in
criminal cases, has been vested by the coDs' Gtion
exclusively In its Superior Courts.
So far concerns the exercise Of the power
which belongs to the Executive Department, orders

of staying or in any manner Interfering with the
Of their constitutional jurisdiction, will be disregard

resisted with whatever force the laws have placed at
my command.
IF the judicial powers thus attempted to be oxcr-
cised by the courts Of the United States is submit

annihation of the State governments, or in other
consequences not less fatal to the peace and p7osperi
