edge that there is real difficulty, if we examine
che question by the ordinary rules of action but
we still cherish the hope that enightned and benev
client men will indulge in views more commanding
and dignifed. We would say much has been done
for the civilization of the Cherokees-- now let us
give them practical proofs OF sincerity--let US
be their generous projectors and defenders; they
once opened their wigwams to the solitary white
man, and he shared their rude hospitality. Hav-
ing now cncompassed them with white population,
let teach them the blessings of social life, and
throw aside the tonahawk-le the united pray
OF the Americans and Cherokees, both in their
native tongue ascend together TO the common pa
rent OF both--let US teach them to respect them,
selves, by showing them respect. Pity these poor
remnant of fathers, whose bones have whitened on
the field OF battle, by our vengeance and as the
only requital for such injuries, let Us take them by
the hand Of friendship, and breathe to their ears,
the words, forgiveness and mercy.

IN the face of the public, they have deliberate.

the nominated candidate will obtain PEI haps
80 votes--not majority, TO be sure, of the
whole number of votes, hut so decided plu-
