This four-page leaflet, addressed to Pennsylvania Democrats, explains and defends Andrew Jackson's decision to not send the militia to Georgia in order to free two jailed missionaries. It defends his record on Indian rights and on religious matters, gives an account of the missionaries' case, and provides an extensive survey of pertinent cases to show that calling in the militia would be unconstitutional. The missionaries, Mr. Butler and Mr. Worcester, had been working in the Cherokee nation without a license, and were jailed. The Supreme Court overturned their conviction, but provided no charge for enforcing it. The leaflet is signed in type by 21 members of the Democratic Committee of Correspondence for the city of Philadelphia.
