Gazette Of The United States

NEW-YORK, SEPTEMBER 2.

Monday 3 o'clock P. M. the Hon. Major General LINCOLN, the Hon. Cyrus GRIFFIN, and Col. David HUMPHREYS, Commissioners Plenipotentiary from the United States for treating with the southern nations of Indians, sailed from this city for Georgia.

NoowETEK a chief of the Cherokee nation is a passenger with the commissioners.

Every movement in this business has been marked with the most decided promptitude and dispatch. The bill providing for the supplies is short and comprehensive. As soon as it was completed the appointments were made. Two days constant and close application were given by the President and Senate in conferring upon, and arranging this important business. Gen. LINCOLN received notice of his appointment on Tuesday evening of last week, and set out the next morning for this city—he arrived here late on Saturday evening, and on Monday the commissioners sailed. This is doing business—thus is the public service expedited, and the public money saved by a wise, an industrious, and patriotic Supreme Executive.

The Most Hon. WILLIAM FEW, Senator of the United States took passage with the commissioners for Georgia.

Of all the curses that can befall a free people there is none pregnant with more fatal consequences than to have it become unpopular to support the government and administration which the people have established. LIBERTY, disgusted with so vile a principle, and finding no rest for the sole of her foot among a restless fickle and factious generation, takes her flight never to return.

The old enemies of our federal honour and happiness are reviving from that torpidity into which they were chilled by the majesty of the union, which led to the adoption of the new government. A few scouting parties have been popping their short pieces at several minutes of the administration, just by way of trial. Some honest people have heard the distant whizzing, and have Supposed danger was near; but let them be on their guard and prepare for more serious alarms. The overthrow of the constitution is yet a darling object with many; and if the administration can be enfeebled by essential restrictions, or rendered odious by lies and defamation, it will not be the fault of some persons, if we are not disappointed of peace, law, freedom and government, after all our exertions to secure them under the new constitution.
