From the Adams' Sentinel.

The Indians.- The public mind is becoming awakened upon the subject of the oppressive measures which are now in progress towards that portion of the aborigines of our country, which are within the limits of the State of Georgia. Public meetings are being held for the purpose of making strong representations to the constituted authorities of the country, against the infraction of our solemn pledges to those under circumstances unfortunate fellow creatures. It is time for the humane, for the benevolent, for Christians, to arouse their dormant energies, and raise their voices in solemn denunciation against the breach of our national faith, against a violation of right, of justice, and of humanity. It is time that the strong arm of public sentiment should be uplifted to stay the hand of tyranny, to protect the weak and defenseless, against the lawless arm of oppression. It is a righteous cause, and it must prevail.

We are pleased to find, that a meeting of the citizens of this County is called, as will appear by the following proceedings of a Town Meeting. We have, in compliance with their request, inserted in this week two Essays on the present state of the Indian question signed Wm. Penn, copied from the National Intelligencer. They will be found upon our first page.

We hope to see a full meeting upon the 18th, of the friends of justice, of humanity, and of patriotism.
