to do in this case with the morals Of Cic-
ero? Cicero was no christian, and who
among you would follow "a pagan and
freethinker, even when he points out the
path Of virtue and public justice
The Sultan has likewise weighed in
his wisdom the Appeal made by those
Cherokecs to that Supreme Court which
is regarded as the Keystone of your po-
litical fabric. The decisions Of Courts
of Justice are SO often at variance with
the benign views Of Governments, that
the Sublime Porte, even ut this distance,
forsees decree in this case hostile to
the independent intentions of one Of the
members Of your Union, and to the appa-
rent concurring inclination Of the Exec
utive Power Of your country. And if,
as he conjectures, that Court should O.
pine in favor of these savage holders Of
the soil, he concludes that the President
ought to temporize and never execute.
Should his oath Of Office be held up to
him as an litigation to carry into effect
the decree of the Court and the para
mount prescriptions Of treaties, let him OPP
pose to all these constitutional and moral
duties, the great interests Of the State
and the saius popui suprema ler. But if
the extremity Of the case should require
extreme measures, the Sultan places be-
fore your celebrated military chief his
own example in a recent transaction
which has materially altered the Consti-
tuition Of the Ottoman Empire.
The JaniZzaries were regarded, from
the time of the establishment of the holy
Crescent at STEAMBOAT, as an integral part,
a necessary component feature Of the o.
toman Nation, aud they were organized
for the support of the throne Of the Mus
sumans. But they became so iormida-
bic body in the State, that they often
sat aside or strangIed Sultan, and re-
placed him by one Of their own choice.
They were refractory sub and, tho
brave, they were an undisciplined sol
diery. Albeit they were interviewer in
the constituent mantle of the Mussul-
mans, yet the present most illustrious
/ Sultan, who had determined to introduce
the modern military tactics into his ar
mics, an innovation which the JanizZaries
opposed by vigorous measures, not with
out the efiuson of much blood, dissolved
the whole corps and rid the State at once
Of long existing source of turmoil ant
revolt.
4 Now, whether your President shoulc
suspend the exercise Of the required ex'
ecutivc powers, or boldly refuse to en-
force the Constitutional decree, he mus
in a great measure rely on his gifted Sc
cretary, and upon the other devoted mem
bers of his Cabinet for an artlul and cap
tivating presentation ofhis motives to th'
i People; and if we may Judge of the fu
ture by the past, his rewarded partizans
together with the spirit party which al
ways diregards truth and principle, an'
laughs at conscience, will bear him thro
every gross exercise Of his will. lie
