Mr.. Editor,-lt would appear by hint
in your paper Of last week, that due notice
has been taken of my remarks relative TO
the abolition resolutions passed at Rutland
in June last. As those Anti Slavery papers
have a very limited circulation in our place
have been deprived the pleasure ofsecing
the production, and consequently am not
prepared TO reply. however recollect Of
reading in an old book, that when the priests
and pharsecs were reproved for their abom-
Unable wickedness and superstition and wri-
thing under self rcproach could merely re-
ply by way OF retort-'thou hast a devil"
Tint professcd followers should imbibe a
kindred spirit is no way strange. If those
sensitive hrengs of the press are contcm-
plating ii pro slavery advocate in the writer
Of this article. would remind them that

among our Western Indians, have been

Winncbagoes. by which that tribe ceded
TO the United States great portion of their
territory IN Wisconsin, in exchange for a
very liberal annuity. aud a tract of land
west Of the Mississippi, agreeing at the
same time TO remove. 1t has since been
asceriained that the tract west Of the Miss
issippi was not as valuable nor as extensive
as was supposed al the time Of making the
treaty of 80 and the Indians have also man
llesicd disposition not TO remove any
where, although very willing to receive the
annuity punciually.

lipcncc that has come TO hand II confirms
the report of the destruction of the two

expressions in the letter VIC should infer
that their death was resolved upon in a gen
cral assembly, winch Mr.. Ross strove to
curb, bat could not for the writer speaks
of the restraints attempted in vain to be inn
posed by the moderation of MIR Ross
The succession of events, as stated IN the
letter, was as follows
A General Council of the representatives
and people of the Eastern and Western
Cherokecs'* was convened for the purpose
Of forming an union Of the two nations, and
Of re modelling their government. II clos
ed on Friday, the 2lst of June, without ei-
lect;ng the objects for which il was convcn-
ed. The people, however, who formed n
branch of the General Council, expressed
their sentiments on the subject. They re-
solved that the interest of the nation requir-
cd such an union to be speedily effected
ana ca He'd National Convention to take
the subject into consideration at an early
lay.
/ On Saturday, June 22nd, Major Ridge
John Ridge and Elias Boudinot, were killed
On Sunday, news spread among the peo-
pic that Bel one of the Ridge party, was
collecting company to kill John Ross and
/ Edward Gunter. At an hours notice Il
large band assembled at the point whence
our informant writes, and started at full
speed 10 guard Mr.. Ross; and from a few
miles below another company went in like
haste 10 guard Mr.. Gunter.
On Monday, June cath, person who
passed the house of MIR. Ross, reported that
he was safe, and strongly guarded.
For the sake of humanity says the very
intelligent gentleman from whose letter
written on the spot, we derive our informa-
ton, sit is to be hoped the matter will stor
here: for there can be no doubt, that should
Mr.. Ross or Mr.. Guntcr be killed, the pop.
