Wp for the following article, an atten

tive prusiL It contains plain facts, which w'H show the utter falsity of the oft repeat

ed and biso charges made against the Presi- J

ctent relative to the confinement of the Missionaries in the Georgia prison. It is taken from the "American Statesman," published at Salem in the state of New Jersey. THE MISSIONARIES. There is, we are satisfied, a great ffiisappreli2nsion of the public in relation to the Missionaries in the Gcorsia prison. This

misapprehension, on the part of the people, ! ihf fikfi state-

ments given in the opposition Presses. W e Live no time now to enter upon the discussion cf this subject, but deem it a proper occasion to state the faets of the case, and leave the discussion toother times, or other pens. It is proper to observe, however that the Missionaries now remain in prison from their own obstinacy and folly I They have been offered their liberty, but refuse to except it from the state government, being resolved to make all the noise and trouble they can; this is not surprising, however, when we remember that Mr. Wirt and Mr. Sergeant were their counsel, and that one is a candidate for the Presidency, and the other for th:; Vice-Presidency. That the detention of these Missionaries should be urr-'ed against Gen. Jackson, is as

absurd as it is unjust. He has no more ower over them, tlran he has over any person of our State. The constitution and law authorizes the supreme court cf the United States to take jurisdiction of the judgments of the state courts, and upon a reversal of any such judgment, the Supreme Court orders the record to be remitted, and a mandate issues, directing the state court, whose

judgment has been reversed, to give judgment, in conformity with their decision. If the state court refuses, the judgment of the Supreme Court stands, in the place of the record of the State court, and the supreme court will order the men to be discharged, this order is to be executed by the Marshal; if he is resisted, he must call out the posse comitates, (in the same manner that our Sheriff would call upon us to aid him if necessary,) andfcif resisted, then the state of Georgia would be in rebellion, and unless subdued, the Union would be dissolved. The Supreme court have made no order as yet, for the discharge of the Missionaries. The Court has sent the record and mandate to the State court, and at their session, in January next, the return of this mandate will be made and the supreme court of the United States' will take such order as they

shall judge necessary for effecting the object of their decision. Should it ever come to the point of rebellion as we have stated, no man doubts but Andrew Jackson would put down rebellion as soon in Georgia as elsewhere, for he has proclaimed "The Union must and shall be preserved'' Thus far, the supreme court has made no rule requiring the aid of the Marshal no disobediancc to the fat of the supreme court has been shown no call upon the posse comilatus nor has there been any call upon the President to send an army into Georgia no such call could be made. It is absurd therefore, to say Gen. Jackson keeps the Missionaries in prison. He has no more

power over them, than the governor of New

Jersey or their late friend Black Hawk,

who has murdered and scalped hundreds of

innocent women and children on our frontier, and for whom there docs not seem to be One drop of pity or feeling of humanity.

ter that I was unstable in all my ways, and changed by every wind of doctrine. Now I ask every candid man to examine Mr. ClaTkson's charge, and see for himself whether there is not a chance for such a construction, T liavn nut unon it. Here is the charge:

"But to those who know his character, this act can create no surprise. Were it the first change in his sentiments, we might pause and lake more heed in passing sentence unon him. But when we consider he is lia

ble to changes on other subjects, we need no longer be surprised at the course he has taken'' Here follows some corroborative evidence from the same article: "But upon his own ground this tender-conscience turncoat is placed in another sad dilemma Again, "This same ever-changing animal must adhere to his motto, &c." Now fellow-citizens, the most he can make of it, is t.vh.mrrna nn nfher subiects." Mr. Clarkson

will have to send to Manchester for a new

certificate, certifying that it is "understood and considered," that I had changed my "opinion or sentiments" on a plurality of subjects; so that the certificate will agree with the charge, and give him a chance to creep out in a little more respectful manner. Here follows the certificate to which I have referred in the above, and which Mr. C. sent to Manchester for the purpose of jjettins signers to, We, the undersigned, having been neighbors of Mr. J. P.

The real cause of the imprisonment of the missionaries, and the whole history of the case is so clear, that we are astonished that any man pretending to truth or honesty, should venture to charge it to Gen.

The American board of Commissioners for Foreign Missoners 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 the reply : "Gentlemen I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your memorial, stating that certain Missionaries in the state of Georgia have been imprisoned, for allcdgcd offences against that State, and requesting my interference in furthering their release.

had not been for the peremtory refusal on the part of the latter, she would have thrown

herself into her arms, and become a part of

the nation. Should new difficulties arise,

and fresh danger threaten Belgian independence, we shall be much disappointed in our expectations, if the father-in-law of Leopold

does not find it good policy to support him on his throne, or take him into his especial care and keeping. But the king of Belgium has also been

once nearly connected with the Royal Family of Great Britain and probably it was in a great measure owing to British influence that he was selected for the Belgian crown.

This gives him a strong claim upon the support of that nation, as well as upon France. Under these circumstances, strong as Russia, Austria, and Prussia are, and weak as Belgium is, wc have very little doubt that Leopold will be defended in his newly acquired dignities let who may attack him.

had well nigh got through with his sermon,

and as the election for president is near at hand, and what is to be done must be done quickly, he took occasion to inform his hearers that a most horrible thing was committed in the land : "that no farther off than the state prison in Georgia, missionaries are lodged for no other crime than preaching the Gospel to the poor Indians!" This round assertion, twice repeated with considerable emphasis, some what astounded me; but

after recovering from my surprise 1 concluded the gentleman must be ignorant of the cause of their imprisonment. And as this is not the first instance in which the clergy have made a handle of this matter in their sermons, for electioneering purposes, I think it necessary that they should be informed cf the true cause of their imprisonment, viz: disobeying the laws of the country.
