agreed upon and promulgated a regular and permanent form of government of the state. In this aspect of affairs, it was not lo be expected that Georgia or any other sovereign state, would remain silent and inactive, and permit within her own limits, and upon her own territory, three separate independent and inconsistent governments to exist. To prevent such a state of things, she extended her own laws over that portion of the Cherokee country within her limits, and abrogated the Cherokee laws and form of government. Among other things the laws of the state provided that nil white persons (whether citizens of Georgia or persons coming from other states) who should be found residing upon the Cherokee territory within the limits of the state, on or after a particular day designated in the act, should take and subseribe an

mat meir continued residence was unauthorized and illegal; that they should have ff desired a reasonable time within which to remove or if they chose to remain they could do it by taking and subscribing the requisite oath. They again braved the authorities and laws of the state, took to themselves the right to decide upon the constitutional power of the state to pass the law in question, and made known their determination to

disregard its provisions. It was not to j have been expected that a sovereign

and independent state would have suffered herself to be brow beaten by a few men, though they were in holy ciders. The state was thus forced to the alternative of either permitting her

laws to be deliberately violated with T..u 1 Maryland impunity, or to cause the Missionaries j Virginia

to be a second time arrested. I he latter course was promptly pursued; the Missionaries were not only arrested, but indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced in the due form of law. And to show how tenderly the state was disposed to act towards those misguided and unfortunate men, and how regardful she was of the rights of others, we will in conclusion state, that after these men had arrived at the Penitentiary cf the state as convicts, and before their commitment, the Governor of the state tendered to eaeii one a full and ample pardon, on condition of an assurance that they would in the nay most agreeable to themselves obey the laws of the state. One of the Missionaries (Mr. Trott) and eight other men not Missionaries, promptly accepted the pardon, but the other two, Messrs. Butler and Worcester, maintained their original ground, that the state had no right to pass the law by which they

were about to be punished, and reject-
