PRO ,PEClUS OF The
CherOkAA PNGNiX.

TT has long been the opinion udcious friends to
Il the civilization of the Aborig mes of America that
paper published exclusively tor their benefit, aud
under their direction, would add great force to the
charitable means EMPLOYED by the public for their
6oration In accordance with that opinion, the legs
ative authorities ofthe Cherokees have thought fit to
patronise weekly paper, bearing the above title; X
have appointed the subscriber to take charge of it
