CHEROKEE BOUNDARY. Col. S. A. w ales
has run the line said to be, but without the
least shadow Of truth, the true line Between
the Cherokees and Creeks. This is an in
stance of high-handed injustice. Shall a
large part of our lands he forced from us, be
cause we are weak and are unable to defend
them? What has become of the treaties
to which we have heretofore been accus
toned to flee for shelter from the perse-
cutting arm of Georgia. Will the United
States permit her laws to be tramped upon
in this manner? For to survey an Indian
country without authority from the General
Government, is made by the intercourse
law a crime of some magnitude. Here is
then the turning crisis. If the General
Government looks on coolly, and Indifferent
ly, and permits the State of Georgia to
wrest the lands in question from under our
feet, we may give up all for lost, for most
undoubtedly claims. equally reasonable, in
the view of men who are guided by power
and not by Justice, will lie laid TO the rest
of our country, as the one now set forth. If
1t is the intention Of the whites to devour
US, we hope they will begin soon-let US
know the worst. If the United States in
tends to withdraw her protection, let us be
apprised of it soon.
TRAVELLING CABINET. We were an
moved before the last election, among other
railing accusations brought against the adj
ininistraton, with the clamor about their
occasional journeys. We are not DESTROYS
to initiate such precedents. Travelling is
occasionally rs necessary for private BUSH
ness and for relaxation, to public men as to
unofficial citizens. But it is already mat
ter of fact that the new officers are as fond
of being locomotive as any of their prede-
Cessors have ever been. The Secretary of
the Treasury, since his appointment, has
spent nearly two months in Pennsylvania.
The Secretary of the Navy has visited
North Carolina. The Attorney General,
member of the cabinet, paid visit to this
city, and went subsequently to Georgia.
The Secretary of State is about to proceed
to Delaware. The Secretary of the Navy
is on trip here by water, in the Constella
ton. The other day the Executive, not
with the plain republican simplicity of his
predecessor, but with all the pomp and GER
cmony attending the progress of kings and
emperors, went on party of pleasure, with
half the cabinet in his train, to receive the
homage of the good citizens of Norfolk.
Verify this Is a moving cabinet.

"a VOTER" in the Newburn IN. c.. lSpec-
tator, canvassing the pretensions Of Gen.
Speight to a seat in Congress from that dis
trlct, introduces his essay with the following
exordium:
"The tempest of patty has subsidized; and
we are now in full fruition of the effects of
the storm. The political ocean has been
heaved to its depths, and dregs, and filth
float on its surface. The foam of it's pillows
is turbid with the admixture of discordant
particles. Federalists and Republicans,
Crawfordtes and Calhounites, are thrown
together in one inexplicable mass. Tariff
ties and Anti Tariffites, latitudnarians and
literal constructionists, and all riot and revel
in the political confusion of the times, all
revolve round one common centre, and re-
ceive light and heat from the same source.
What will he the effect upon the policy and
character of the country by this combination
of heterogeneous materials, tipe alono
must disclose. There is, however, one
thing certain, the wheels Of government"
cannot run smoothly, while men with such
varient views direct their movements. The
next Congress will be evidently political
Salmagundi, bearing the marks by which
Jacob laid claim to the Cattle of Laban, ling
riddled, speckled and streaked. Northern
interest and Southern interest, Western in
terest and Eastern interest," cotton growers,
cotton spinners, and wool growers, wool
spinners, Van Burenites, Calhounites, Jack
sonians and grumbletonians. In this polti-
cal Babel, this excresence growing out of
Jacksoh's election, this district is entitled
to have her voice heard |"
