The CHEROKEE INDIA>s.-A letter |
dated August Is. has been shown to Us,
and we copy from it the latest intelligence
of what is going on among the Cherokees,
We take this opportunity 10 caution our
readers against putting any faith IN the
foolish rumors about attempts on the part
of these Indians to sir up war. Moth
ing can be more absurd. Their policy Is
pacific aud all their conduct and plans
prove it 10 be SO. The course they have
taken, has uniformly given the lie to eve
ry suggestion to their disadvantage; and
we believe it will so continue. If the less
civilized and less christian tribes are get
ting uneasy, instead of charging their dis
satisfaction upon Cherokee plots, 1t would
be better TO encourage this DallOn by Just
er notions Of them, TO assist In tranquIiIZ-
ing their more intractabIe brethren, by
reasoning as well as by example. Surely,
thus far, we have no right TO say word
against the Cherokees. AS for reports
from the frontier lined with those who
! have been their avaricious and relentless
prosecutors for so many years, they ought
to be heard with great dIstrust We PRO
coed to our extract from the Cherokee let
ter already mentioned.
"The capture Of the North Carolina,
