OF civilized lie To this course they were urged, in
the most atectonate manner, by letters written with
Gen. Washinn eon's own hand This was pressed
upon them every connci and habitualy in private,
by the Agent of the United States, in pursuance OF
written and verbal instructions from the head OF the
Wer Department. No historical facts car be proved
with more absolute certainty than theses and there IL
not, 1t Is believed the pretence of any evidence
20 the contrary.
II appears, moreover in the preamble 10 this treaty
of Teliico, that the s;sudersidndings had arisen,
because white settlers had transyressed the Cherokee
boundary contrary to the intention OF previous tea-
tes and that these intrudcrs had been removed by
the authority of the United States.
Again: this treaty negotiated by George w al
ton citizen of Georgia. in whom that State repcscd
great confidence, and by Thomas Butler, commanding
the troops of the United States, in the State of Ten
nesscc and il was executed, TO its lapgua &c
son Cherokee ground"
Thus the country of the Chcrokees is called as I
heSc already shown, 'heir lands, their "tcrritcry
l"their naticn," and their ground" These epihcis
used, not by careless letter writers, nor N loose
debate; but in the most solemn instruments, 10y Which
nations bind themselves 10 each other. And what is
there the other side? Is il sa,d implied thu,
the Cherokecs had qualified t'c' lease for term
of years, right to hunt. till Georgia should want the
land for growing cotton? the privilege of al
mnistering their own laws, till Georgia shonld exer
else her righiu jurisdiction, us sovereign and indie
pendent State? Is there any thing that looks TINS
way' Not word not Il syllable; not the most distant
hint. While it is asserted i'll various forms, end i'm
Piled more than n hundred times over, that the Che
rokces nation, capable Of treating with Other
nations; that they had country, which was acknow
lcdgcd TO be indsputaby their own; that they had
. government 30 punish criminals and TO deliver w
rcncgadoes and that they were to become civilized
people permanently attached to the SOIL there is not
IN all these INSTRUMENTS single intmation groun'
, of plausible argument, TO the contrary.
Lastly, this treaty not only adopts the word "guur
ty" from the treaty Of IIolston, but nterprets it
las every civilian i'll Europe and America would have
done,) to he applicable 20 'e remainder ftheir
try FOREVER" that is, tfor the meaning can be NJ

THURSDAY MORNING. SEPT. ~ lana

The following from the Baltimore Marylander is
only one OF number of cases of n similar descrip-
ton We have seen noticed in the northern papers,
The Post-otce department seems determined pcr fas
aut neias to falsify the predictions of some, who
thought the receipts would depend upon tho conf
dcnco of the people in its intcgrity-We have hith
erto reraned from noticing these things under the
hope that they accidental but the frequency of
their occurrence raises doubt whether they be not
designed. 1t is evidently done for effect, and the
mode adopted OF cheating the citizens, for it is moth
ing elsc, is worthy the end gned to be attained
ANOTHER POST OFFICE IMPOSITION
a gentleman called at our Office Yesterday with
letter bearing the posmark of ''W ashington, ID. c.

sutng us he carried it to post-oice and opened
IT in the presence of of the clerks when II was
onnd 10 be but double letter, although the Wash
ngton postmaster had taxed it with quadruplc post
age, being an imposition of 100 per cent. Twenty
cents OF the amount were returned. We mention
this circumstance, in addition to the others before no.
tced by with view of showing that the plan of
ovcrcharging is systematic one, extending from one
cndof the continent to the other with view of ena-
bling the department to swe, out its annual report of
receipts. The Postmaster mt Washington could no,
uninentionaly have mistaken the letter i'm question:
as IT was composed of but two sheets of letter papcr
and did not appear to he than it really was-a
double letter. A tux OF hundred per cent is really
no trilhng concern.

his tale.

THE ASSYRIAN' s OVERTHROW
No banner stirr'd the air,
No trumpet shook the field,
No raging steed was there,
No blood Stand spear nor shield;
The monarch was at rest,
The clansman's steel was still,
And on each wearied slumbering breast
The night had settled chill.
And ne'er again the eyes
That slulnber'd then should see
The sunny day arise,
The dusky midnight fee;
They wereth Almighty's foes,
His children had they slain;
But from their healthy bed nor rose
Nor wav'd their swords again.
The conqueror's chariot said
Upon the midnight breath,
The kingliest warriors quail'd
Before the shaft Of death.
Blest Israel now may sing,
Her foes have pass'd away,
And proud Assyria's naughty king
Is weaker far than they. SRDLEY.
