The Missionaries The American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions appealed to
the President of the United States, in behalf OF
the imprisoned Missionaries, praying that he
would execute the Judgment of the Supreme
Court, and rescue them from the Penitentiary.-
The following is General Jackson's reply:
Gsafle,nen,-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your Memorial, stating that GER
tain Missionaries in the State of Georgia nave
been imprisoned, for alleged offences against that
State, and requesting my interference IN further
ing their release.
In reply, have to inform you, that the power
vested in me has been placed in nv hands for the
purpose of seeing the laws of the United States
justly aud imparrially administered. and not f"r
the purpose Of abusing them. as most assuredly
should do, were To interpose my authority III
the case brought before me in your Memorial. -
The State OF Georgia is governed BY its own laws,
and if any injustice has been or IS committed,
there are competent tribunals, at which redress
can be obtained, without an appeal to me. do
not wish to comment upon the causes of the i'm
prisnnment Of the Missionaries alluded 20 IN you'
Memorial; but cannot refrain from observing.
that here, az IN mast other countries, they are.
10y their injudicious Zeal, Ito give i, no hsr,her
name,) too apt TO make them ,elves obnoxious to
those among whom they are located.
