COURTSHIP.

After my sleighrde, last winter, and
the slippery trick was served by Patty
Bean, nobody would suspect me of
hankering after the women again in a
hurry. To hear me curse and swear
and rail out against the whole feminine
gender, you would have taken it for
granted that should never so much as
look at one again, to all eternity-O,
but / was wicked. +" Darn and blast
their eyes-says Blame their skins
torment their hearts and darn them
to darnation." Finally l took an oath
and swore that if ever meddled or had
any dealings with them again, lin the
sparkling line mean.) l wished l might
be hung and choaked.
But swearing off from women, and
then going into meeting house chock
full of gals, all shining and glittering in
their Sunday clothes and clean faces, is
like swearing off from liquor and going
into grog shop. It's all smoke.
l held out and kept firm to my oath
for three whole Sundays. Forenoons,
afternoons and intermissions complete.
On the fourth, there were strong symp-
toms Of a change of weather. A chap,
about my size was seen on the way to
the meeting house, with new patent
hat on; his head hung by the ears upon
a shirt collar; his cravat had pudding
in it and branched out in front, into a
double bow knot. He carried straight
back and stiff neck, as a man ought
to when he has his best clothes on and
every time he spit, he. sprung his body
forward, like a jack-knife, in order to
shoot clear of the ruff1es.
Squire Jones's pew is nex. bur two to
mine: and when stand up to prayers
and take my coat tail under my arm,
and turn my back to the minister, nat
urally look straight at Sally Jones.
Now Sally has got face not to be
grinned at in fog. Indeed, as re-
CARDS beauty, some folks think she can
pull an even yoke with Patty Bean.
For my part, I think there is not much
boot between, them. Any how. they are
so nigh matched that they have hated
and despised each other, like rank poi
son, ever since they were schoolgirls,
Squire Jones had got his evening fire
on, and set himself down to reading the
great bible, when he heard rap at his
door," Walk in. Well, John, how
der do +? Git out, Pompey.-Pretty we'll,
| thank ye, Squire, how do you do .
Why, so as to be crawling-ye ugly
beast, will yc hold yer yop-haul up a

Cherokees had a perfect title to the soil
with undoubted rights of sovereignty owe
it, the article is Ineligible and reasonable
The people of the United States wanted
free passage through particular part O
the Cherokee territory and, as the partie
| now sustained amicable relations, such
passage was granted by treaty stipulation
cart. 6. 1t is agreed on the part of tn
J Cherokees, that the United States shall
have the sole and exclusive right of regu
lating their trade"
By the Constitution of the United State.
it had been provided, that Congress shoult
have power to regulate commerce "witt
the Indian tribes" This policy had beer
pursued in the treaty of Hopewell, and was
doubtless chosen wisely, and with view te
benefit the Indians. 1t was not binding up.
on them, however, till they voluntarily con-
sented to it.
cart. z. The United States solemnly
guarantee to the Cherokee nation all their
| lands not hereby ceded."
This is the most important article in the
treaty. The Cherokees had yielded some
important rights. They had agreed not to
treat with any foreign Power. They had
committed the regulation of their trade to
the United States. They had admitted the
United States to participate in the naviga-
ton of the Tennessee and had granted a
free passage through certain part OF their
country to the citizens of the United States.
They had ceded a portion, though not very
important one, of their territory.
On the other hand, the United States en-
gagged to protect the Cherokees, to promote
their civilization, as will hereafter be seen,
and especially, to guaranty the integrity and
inviolability Of their territory. In world
full of outrage, fraud, and violence, it is a
good advantage for weak State to obtain
the solemn guaranty of powerful neigh
bour, that its rights and sovereignty shall
be safe. All this is implied by guaranty.
The United States is solemnly engaged to
preserve and defend the Cherokees against
all foreign Powers, IA colony of Spain being
then in the neigbourhood) against the States
of Georgia and North Carolina, against the
United States, in their federative capacity,
and against all whites who should commit
aggressions upon the Cherokees.
The word guaranty can mean no less, I'M
less limited by the subject or context. If
Bonaparte guarantees the integrity of
Switzerland, he engages to defend and pre-
serve Switzerland from aggression and in
vasion, whether the danger arises from Aus
tria, Prussia, Holland, or even France ITSELF
1t is the chosen and appropriate word to ex-
press the utmost security, which can be
gained or pledged to one party by the pow
er and good faith of another.
Upon the guaranty of the United States
the Cherokees have relied, with I'M
shaken consistency, since the year 1871.
Within few months their confidence has
been shaken; and they are now in state
of great solicitude and anxiety. 1t remains
to be seen whether treaty will bind the
U. States to weak and dependant ally, or
force is to be the only arbiter in
the case. WILLIAM PENN.
