GEoRGIA-There is something so disreputahls
in the proceeding detailed in the following er.
tract, and which contrasts so strikingly with m,
elevated and magnanimous course Of South
Carolina, that we must believe it will 20 far 10
open the eyes Of all parties to the hypocrisy and
Injustice of the clamor that has been raised
against notification.
Our readers will remember that an Indian
having been condemned TO death for murder
appealed to the Supreme Court, by one Of whose
Judges a citation was issued requiring the Go.
vernon in behalf of the State, to appear and an.
swer the appeal. The day of the execution hav.
ing been fixed in advance of the sitting of the
court; and inasmuch as no proceedings could
bring about collision before the return Of the
writ, the Governor, who had insisted that the
Supreme Court was the legitimate tribunal 10
decide all questions between a State and the
Federal Government, determined to avoid an
issue. by executing the Indian instanter; and in
asmuch as they supposed that s. dead men tell
no tales" the poor Indian was hung. The par.
ty were felictating themselves upon their escape
from their collision with the Supreme Court,
when another citation was served upon the Go.
vernon in behalf Of another Indian, who was
imprisoned in the Pententiary, and who had
near six years yet 70 serve. We can imagine
the CONSERVATION produced by the notice OF this
proceeding; but il seems that friend Of the
Governor has devised way Of escaping the
consequences Of collision with the court A
correspondent Of the Macon Messenger says
"The Senator from Bib reported bill this
morning instanter, some Of the provisions OF
which are, in substance, as follows: That all In
dams who shall hereafter commit penal crimes,
shall he taken within five days after the trial, and
WHIPPED on The bare bark, for one, fro, or
three successive days, not e.rceeding htrfyn
Iashes at a time. That all Indians within this
State who shall be guilty of capital crime,
shall on conviction, be sentenced 10 DEAN DY
the court within 20 days after such conviction
"That his ExcelIency the Governor be en-
powered TO commute the punishment OF the In.
dian now in.the penitentiary. by taking MN ou'
and striping his Jacket with SO lasbes, and send
ing him off, before the Marshal, with his posse
OF COnstables demands his release, in obedience
tn the mandate Of the Supreme Court. Suo-
mission! submission! submission"
The same writer well remarks:-
evil the Union party pass this bill, 10 Inc
disgrace Of Georgia? Will the Governor ap,
prove it, in the face of his notification messages
Now, gentlemen. what do you think is the mean,
ing of this movement Oh, says the Senator Of
Bibb, my Union friends have gotten INTO olm'
Gully and they have called upon me TO gel mem
out Of it, and know Of no other way ou'
hack ont. My isms' require submission I"
the mandates Of the powers that be at "ash'hs'

"Now, Messrs. Editors, will you tell Inc peo.
pie about this curious machine OF Mesi ye
people Of Georgia, how long will you lei tne'e
abominabe tools delude and disgrace your oneI
dignifed state? Oh my countrymen! MINK VI

And we would add, what contrast IS s heat,
