 Georggaa--fhe legislature of leor- gia convened on Monday the 7th ut. On Tuesday the 9th, the message oi the late Governor Gilmer, was deliver ed to both branches ot the Legislature. Much oft Is devoted to the relations existing between Georgia aud the Cherokee Indians within her limits.--- Ills saxcelleney animadyerts upon tie conduct of the Chief Justice ot the Unltcd States, in sanctioning the Writ Of Lrror in the case of fasseIs, and h. dulges ia sonlc stfietures upon the de. elsIon of the Supreme Court of the united States lnthe case of the Inlunc- tion applied for by the Cherofees, ln making which decision, he alleges tue Court thought proper 10 depart from the discusslon of the particular point before t, to express oPinioasexeeediag. y disrespecttu to Geoeaia, Injurious to lltsrIghts, calculated to thvart ti3e poIi- l lcy of the General Government. and to keep alive the excitement aIscb has arisen out Of t.le ooAauc. <. .i.4.. l....i.... affairs. He states that tte aaasi.sl n. people of the Cherokee tnbe aee as a
 aorant, thoughtless and ingros dent as ever, and that the Chiefs, thc rasideIt of the Council, the Judges, narsa,. and SncIifis, and most other persons concerned in the administration oi fae Government, are the descerdeats q. Europeans, and many of them citizens of that and the adjoining States. Of the white men who have heen residino among the Gherokees, two hundred and three have taken the oath to support the constitution and laws of Georgia. l and received licenses to continue their residence. The enforcement of tic Cherokee laws has been completely suppressed within ti.e limits of the State. No difficulty was experienced in sur seyIng the Cherokee territory into sec tlons and districts. Gov. Gilmer re- confmends the passage of law vitl. adequate penalties, requiring all Cher okees who have received reservations in fec, or have been paid for their im- proyements, and wbo have again set tied upon the lands occupied by the tribe within the State, togemoye there rom; also the adoption oi a resolution authorizing the President 10 grant re- servatlons in fee of such quantities of l land. as may be amply sufficient for their support, to all the CheroEees who are actual cultivators ol the soil to any extent, and who may desire to ren1ai:. within the State and be subject to ifs laws, upon consideration that tie Gencr- al Government will pay 10 the State a reasonable valuation therefor. Tic Governor, very property We think, strenuously dissuades the Legislature rom canslng .a survey and distribution. ot the Cherokee lands before their title to the lands be extinguishcd by tic President. Such measure. he re. marks, would deprive the Indiaa poo ulation entirely of their possessions without their consent, and without a.y equivalent. The character of the State he adds, the interest of the Unon, res. pect for public opinion and the rigits of the Indians, forbid that so gross an act of injustice should be committed.

 INAUGURAL ADDRESS
 Fettoae- -Citizens.--Called by tbe voice of the people Of Georgia, to the first office within their gift, approach the respons;- oiiities of tue station with unaffected i,i- Eas:i'ty 2 nd slitiIdence. Bnt for firm re- lance on the wisdom which comes from above, and an uBshaken confidence in fhe virtue and intelligence of my constitn- ents, should shrink from the magnitude I of Inc arduous and complicated duties of the office cpnfided.
