VERNON PHI G NIX.
Friday Morning, June l, 1888.
The CHERoKEEs. We are glad to perceive
that Message from President Van Buren, has
been sent to Congress, asking further appro-
priation Of money for the benefit of the Chero-
KEGS, provided they will consent to remove TO
the west of the Mississippi and recommending
an extension of the time in which they shall
cmgrate. That they must remove or be an
initiated is new certain, and under existing
circumstances it is doubtless best that they
should do so. Still! our government ought TO
pursue the most liberal policy towards them,
and we trust the present movement of the Pre-
sident in their favor will be fully seconded by
Congress. We understand that their deputa-
ton at Washington is willing TO stipula,e for a
removal, il being apparent that they cannot
remain in peace and safety, if an additional sum
of money is paid them as an indemnification for
their sacrifices. The message Of the President
after an animated debate was referred TO the
committee on Indian affairs. Mr.. Glascock of
Georgia spoke warmly against any extension
of the time for their removal, and Mr.. Wise
advocated the principles of the Message and
said 4" for once the President is right" Mr..
Everett of this state is on the committee, and
it is said will soon report bill granting very
liberal sum for the purchase Of the land and for
indemnites for the sacrifices of the Indians
We hope this affair may be amicaby adjusted
and that we may not be involved in another
bloody struggle with the poor oppressed and
I injured aborigines of our land.
THE HARD MONEY ADMINISTRATIONS
II is well known that il is fundamental prn.

their stern adherence TO principle. We hav
new evidence of this in the late act authorisin,
