The Liberator

From the National Intelligencer.

FROM THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY.

We learn, through the medium of authentic publications in the Georgia Recorder of the 5th inst. that Major General Scott proceeded to carry into effect his orders to oblige the Cherokees, after the 23d ultimo, to evacuate the territory heretofore held by them within the limits of the State of Georgia. His measures met with no resistance. On the 29th, he had under his control three thousand Indians; and, before this time, it is supposed that not a wandering Indian remains within the territory of Georgia. The manner in which this duty has been discharged by that distinguished General, is praised for its kindness, humanity, and freedom from violence. This information is gratifying; for surely there is enough to appeal to the public sympathy in the destiny of these original lords of the soil, without adding to it unnecessary violence.

We rejoice, for the sake of our fellow-citizens of Georgia, as well as for that of the Indians, that, so far, all goes on as it does, with as little difficulty as could possibly have been hoped. The Georgians themselves appear to be sincerely gratified that it has so turned out; and the friends of the Indians, who cannot enter into all the feelings of the Georgians and other southerners on the subject, will yet not less rejoice than they, that the policy of the government does not end in blood.
