JONI RANDOLPH. There is always about

an lnordinate amount of arrogance, which is

THE CHEROKEES.

Col. Lowry of Tennessee, a special agent Of
the President, has visited the Cherokees to in.
duce them to emigrate. This agent at first
made considerable difficulty about addressing
the constituted authorities of the CherOkees n
writing, but they refused to receive any, ord
communication from him. He then wrote ID
the President of the Council that the President
of the United States loved them, Sc 4, buteould
not protect them against the laws of Georgia
and that there was no remedy but to remove.
The Cherokees replied through President

THE CHocTAws. A very respectable gen.
tleman in the Choctaw Nation writes to a
friend in the Cherokee Nation, that the Choc-
taws are in most distressed condition, as well
as the Chickasaws. few of the principal
men are quoted abont removing from their
country, but the common people are extremely
opposed to the treaties made with both these
nations. If the Choctaw treaty should be rati.
fed, and no further provision made for the poor,
many must suffer, and even starve to death !

Committee of the same, which breathes wrath

FALsEHooD DETECTED. Among the nccusa.
tons brought against Maj. Davis, previouslvto
the election, was one, that he voted against the
bill for reducing the duties on Tea and Coffee.
This was repeated and dwelt upon with SO much
confidence by certain persons, both in public
and in private, that some were deceived into a
belief of its truth. 1t was, however, utterly
faLSe, and without a shadoto of foundation.
The bill was cordially supported by him, in
every stage of its progress, and in all its pro.
visions separately except ono. Amer il had
been agreed to reduce the duty on Coffee, from
fUe cents per pound to taOO, proposition was
made to reduce it again TO one cent per pound.
IN one year after the first reduction should 20
into operation. Maj Davis and all the Massa-
chusetts delegation, except two, voted against
this proposition. The leading Jackson men.
such as McDuffie, Col. R. M. Johnson, Drav-
ton, Buchanan, &C., also voted against it.. The
grounds Of opposition were understood, at the
time, to be, that, as coffee was an.article chief.
iy consumed by the wealthier portions of the
community, duty of two cents was not more
than was proper for the purposes of revenue,
and that, If the state of tho Treasury would
warrant further reduction, il would be bet.
ter to make it on some article of more nnyer.
sal use and necessity. The proposition, how
ever, received majority of votes, and on the
question of the final passage of the BILL with
that amendment incorporated in it, Maj. d.
Uis OOtcd in the Affirmative.
The fabricators Of this vile calumny, never
lisped word it, till the object of their attack
had been called by his official duties to the city
of Washington, nor then, till it was too late for
his friends 10 contradict II before the election.
This transaction is of piece with others adopt
ed to defeat Maj. Davis's election. The public
will apply to it, and to its orignators their ap.
propriate epithets. We will not polluto our
columns with them.

in St. Petersburg. Another report is now cur

Ukraine, Esthonia, Red Russia, Poland, and

IN these countries had taken up arms TO over

government was sending troops towards the
