paIgn. II appears, is TO end about the time
the Cherokee war will begin. It is very
much doubted whether the Cherokees
will agree to, suffer the treaty of New.
Echota to be enforced. Obtained as they
say il was. by fraud. and attended with
hardship and oppression. A remonstrdnce
signed by fourteen thousand of the Cher
okees against the treaty has lately, it is
said, come in. The treaty was ratified
by the Senate. BY a majority of one vote.
No relief eau be afforded. except BY means
of new treaty. The Cherokees will
agree to the emigration beyond the Mis-
sissippi. On certain condilions,-one Of
which is that they shall manage their
own removal. The practice has gener-
ally been to remove them, bv contract,
and the contractors, looking only to their
gains. are very careless of the comfort
and health of the Indians. They blow
them up in steamboats,; keep them in a
state Of starvation dive them, without
shoes or blankets. during Indictment sea-
sons, through long marches in the will
derness; and abandon the feeble, the aged.
the young, the weary, and the sick, to
perish by the way side The Che:okees
know all this, and, if they consent to the
execution Of the treaty, they know that
scarcely hn'f of them will reach their
destination beyond the Mississippi.
The SeminoIes are aware Of the same
thing. after the proofs they have had of
! the degree Of confidence to be reposei in
American faith. and even in the fifth of
our general officers They have. they
say, lost only forty men, in battle, since
the war commenced; and their places
have been filled by warriors who have
since grown up But, in emigration, they
would lose half their nation
THE CHERoKEEs.-A pretended trea-
ty has been made with these civilized
sons of the forest, by which they are to
give up their lands, and remove west Of
the Mississippi. This treaty has been
from the first opposed by the great body
Of the nation, as in opposition to their
wishes. and never having been author
lied by them. Their principal objection
is, that the treaty provides for their re.
moval By the whites; and their wish is,
if they move at all, to do it themselves,
and not be exposed 10 the fortunes and even
death from those who would make the
most money out of the expedition, as was
lately the case of 200 who were sunk in
steamboat. Their wishes should be
yielded in this respec:, as they are as
civilized as their nei ghbors of Georgia.
and as well able to superntend their own
removal. Il appears from the following
paragraph,rthal the government is deter
mined to make them submit to their arbi-
ttrary requirc ments. Such treatment can
no more be justified by the laws Of God
and humanity, than the aggressive wars
of Alexander and Bonaparte. The motto
is. Might makes right" The Raleigh
Register savs-NE Spectator.
I'VE entertain s-rIous fears that :nuch
difficulty is about to be experienced, in
carrying into execution the treaty with
the Cherokee Indians. which provides for
their removal beyond the Mississippi
We have considerable body Of them, it
is known, in the Somh-weSte part OF
Norh-CaroIina, and so Alarming are the
indications OF hostility among them, thtt
the general government has made re-
qrisiticn upon the executive of the State,
for force OF volunteer infAntry. The
adjutant general has. accor Iingly, BY d.
reclions Of Gov. Dudley, issued orders TO
the proper comm rnding officers, to call
out their respective regimru's, with a
view TO the immediate organization, il
practicable, Of one or more volunteer
companies, in ea:h."
