force the people to obey his will. There
can he no peace till the question is settled.
The properly and intelligence of the coun-
try are now arrayed against the government.
England is essentially an aristocracy.
The poSsessors of great estates and Dor
oughs draw along with them all the power
and influence of the country; the people
are nothing. England has no popular rep
resentation; the machinery 10y which she
hast appearance, popular representation,
is merely mole in which the aristocracy
act thrnngh part Of tho people rs theiI
tools. Such are the comments of the
Chronicle.

Opinion Of Mr.. Jefferson as to the Rights of the
Indians
In letter to Gen. Knox, Secretary of War
Mr.. Jefferson, Secretary of State, wrote as fol.
lows, under date of Aug. 10, 1891:
am firmly of opinion that government
should firmly maintain this ground that
the lndians have a right to the occupation
OF the lands, Independent Of the states, with
in whose chartered lines they happen to he;
that until they cede them by treaty, or 9TH |
er transaction equivalent to treaty, no act
Of a state can give right TO such lands >;
that neither under the present constitution
nor the ancient confederation, had any state
or persons, right to treat with Indians,
without the consent Of the general govern
ment; that that consent has never been Civ
en- to any treaty for the cession of the lands
IN question that the government is deter
mined to exert all its energy for the patron
age and protection of the rights of the In
dams, and the preservation Of peace bvtween
the United States and them and that if
any settlements are made on lands not ced- |
ed by them, without the previous consent off
the United States, the government will think
Itself bound, not only to declare to the In
dams that such settlements are without the
authority or protection Of the United States
but 10 rtmoUe them also By the public farce"
Memoirs and Works recently published,
vs., p. 100.
The preceding extrart was written at the
very time ofthe treaty of Holston, between |
the United States and the Cberokees. by !
which "THE UNITED STATES GUARAN. |
TY TO THE Cherokees all their lands not
previously ceded." Mr.. Jefferson was a
member OF the cabinet, and knew in what
sense the treaty was understood oy Gen.
Washington and his advisers. The princi.
pies OF the preceding extract are precisely
those, which are maintained in the late
numbers of William Penn.
