From the Savannah Georgian.

We promises some time ago, TO give a
sketch or,ht prominent features i'll the Constr
tuition Of The Cherokee Nation, as established
in July last by Delegates, duly as they term it,
authorized for that purpose.
In the Grst section Of the first article, the
boundary of the nation is defincd-and which
they declare shall forever, hereafter, remain
una!erahly The s NJ. It's moi worth the time
TO specify these immu'able limits.
The sec ond section is curious, as expressing
their fixed &c erm,Oa,on IT, establish an exclu-
sive goyernmt ut i'll ,he midst Of Us, which na'u
raliza,ion is strictly prohibited. None but ma
tive ci,lzens can enjoy its blessings. Itruns in
these words.
"S.c. 9. The sovereignty and jurisdiction Of
this goyernmt Mt shall extend over the Country
within the boundary above described and the
lands therein, are, and shall remain, the COM
mon property Of the Nation; but The impro.e-
mrnts made thereon, and in possession Of the
ciizens oil the Nation, ATE the exclusive and
indrlea,ible property Of The citizens respectivc>
" who made or may righfully be in possession
Of them; Pro, ided That the cirizens Of the Ma
ton, possessing exclusive and indeieasible
right 10 their respective impro, emenls, as ex
pressed in this article, shall possess no right
nor power 10 dispose of their Improvements in
aby manner Whatever 10 the CnHeQ StateS, III

zens shall remove with their efiet Is out Of The
Limit Of this Nation, and become CITIZENS Of any
other Go, eminent all their rights & privileges

nevertheless. The Legislature shall have pow

at any time desire To return TO the Nation by
me oralIazing the General Council Tor such
readmission. Moreover, the Legislature shall
have power 10 adopt such laws and regulations
as its wisdom may deem expedient and proper
TO proven, The citizens from monoPolzing inn
proyemen,s with the view Of speculation.
The power Of their government, is, like ours
divided into three distinct departments; the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial.
Tie Legislative power is vested IN branch
es-:he higher called "The Committee" and
consisting Of Two members from each district,
of which there are eisht--the other styled the
Council, composed OF three members from each

gislalive authority are similar 10 those found
