Georgia laws and the Cherokees.- We refer the reader to an article on this subject, copied from the Cherokee Phoenix, in another part of this weeks paper. It will serve to show the high-handed measures in their true light- that light which is making 'darkness visible!'- carried on by the nullifying state of Georgia and present reforming administration. When that government which was originally instituted to promote the rights of the people, and hold the scales of justice between man and man, shall lend her sanction to such gross violations of Constitutional law, and such an unwarranted proscription of an innocent and harmless people, may we not bid farewell to the fair 'Goddess of liberty,' who is already pluming her wings for eternal flight? who shall fix a barrier to such unprovoked oppression, and strike nerveless the cowardly arm which inflicts it? We answer the people can- and we doubt not they WILL, when the period arrives when by a constitutional expression of their wished, they can shake corruption from its fearful height, and elect, for the next president, a man of justice, and a man of feeling! - Greensboro (N.C.)
