IMPEACHMENT.

A gentleman lately present at the couhcil
of the Cherokee nation has transmitted the
following curious detail of the impeachment
of their King and two Chiefs to a gentle
man in this pace
am Just returned from the Garrison Of
Hjghwassee where III addition to the polite
ness / experienced from the officers, was
highly gratifed by being present at the dis
irritation of the annuity gwen to the Chero-
kee Indians, agrecably to the treaty with
the United States--There were nearly enc
Thousand of the chiefs ard warriors assem-
bled OH this occasion, adorned with all the
pomp OF savage greatness, which gave me
an opportunity of seeing their customs and
manners and afforded me the satisfaction
Of Being present at some Of their councils.
In one Of those councils their King and
two of the principal Chiefs were accused
of treachcry to the nation--and as ] know
you admire an oratorial display OF the passi-
ons, could have wished you to have beeh pre-
sent. The sachems and chiefs were all seat
cd with solemn gravity, whilst the warriors
stood with composure around; the charges
we're all read in English and repeated in SELL
fences by an Indian interpreter who stood in
the centre of the circle; the result was that
after an animated debate the king and chiefs
were deposcd ana declared unfit to hold any
Office in the nation hereafter.
When the sentence was pronounced he a
rose with the dignity of AGoriginc majesty,
and declared his acquescence With force
of expression and vehemence Of gesture
which astonshed me-lgc concluded Gas the
interpreter informed mel by saying 1 have

But there are few, aud God knows

They aim at appreciation as well as atten-

MAN AS HE is.

In the course OF several years editorial
labors, we have frequently avalled ourselves
of extracts fromsthe political writings of
Mr.. JoHN ADAMS, late president OF the Y.
States. We have ever found instruction In
perusing his dissertations on government
instruction confirmed by the authority OF
the best historians, and Illustrated By actual
observations on msn and manners. lie ap-
pears TO have early enriched his mind with
a store of correct deductions from the les
sons of general experience {; not amassed
fund Of facts, without theory, like Hippo
crates in the medical world but like Brown
and other distinguished moderns, to have
constructed his system On principles, esta
blished by nature, and to have developed
the moral, as they have the physical consti-
. tuition OF man. Mr.. Adams has not con-
tented himself with tracing the various con
duct of the social being, but has explored
the secret springs 81 action by which means
he early detected the errors or CERTAIN mo-
dern systems of policy, and cautioned the
world against their impracticabiiity.
OF his political writings, we most esteem
