The iNDIANs.-The first number ola series of es.
says, under the signature of YiHia,n Penn, publishing
in the National Inteigencer, will be found in our
columns of to day-and it is purpose to publish
the whole oftleln. They treat of the rights of th,.
Cherokee nduns inhabitlng portions ofhe States of
Georgia and Alabama and of the duties towards them
of the State and Federal Governments. These are
not partisan essays addressed the passions or
interests of the day. They discuss the question SO
lar as we have read them upon the high and liberal
ground of universal justice, of national character and

The Cterotees.--The second number of the Es-

to all who will read 1t, the actual condition of these

bread by the sweat of their brow, and till a soil,
handed down to them by their fathers without auy
interruption In the possession, from time imemoria;
race, of whom their own newspaper, the Cherokee
Phoenix of the eth ult. says, 'we assert
reading and writing common here, as among
tine neighboring whites, and certainly those Chero-
KEGS who have attended to their alphabet Invented
by Mr. Cess one week, write more correctly than
the English scholar, who has been steadfas to his
hook two years.
Yet these the s'ignorant savages,' wiose-lands
are wanted for another lottery in Georgia" ID. 22
