The New York memorial PRAYING the inerpOsi-
ton of Congress in favor of the Cherokee In
dams, was presented in the House of Repre-
sentaives to dav. bv Mr.. Adams. He moved
its reference to a select committee, and. thereup.
on arose long and excited debate which lasted
till the adjournment (near 5o'clock,) and result

paraleled excitement produced by the decision
of the Supreme Court in the Cherokee case, and

red off many scalps. Clayton, the late Judge
of the Western Circuit Of the Georgia Court by
whom the Missionaries we're sentenced. was the
| leader and first sounded the war-whoop. He
urged Georgia to rise and resist the federal arm,

to broad farce. A debate, at once stormy and
disniGed. cannot take place IN the House of Re-
representatives.. This discussion seems tot have OBJ
liberated the deep and solemn impression made
by the decision of the Court on SATURDAYS de-

sequences which will establish permanently, or
suddenly overthrow, the Federal Governme Mt

opposition tn the known and recorded opinions Of
the present Executive; and in opposition to the
interests and cherished policy Of two or three
powerful States. 1t brings the question TO this
oint,-whether the Constitution and Laws shall
be enforced. or not.-tbat is. whether we have
Government, or not 1t is time this question
was decided. In peace aud in comparative pros

Upon every occasion, however important. or how
ever trivial in peace or IN war, the interests and
honor of the whole Union will be at the mercy Of
a State. or Of the few denagogues who NAV hap

There is report. which only mention to guard

The executive department refuses to exercise
