nlpw of no deIny in their preparations: some
of our error might be pleaded even if

not set ourselves obnoxious to such a charge

Last week, we are Informed, a commn;c,,;,,
appeared in one of the Athens papers DER ,be
signature of Nat. Smith. on economy in Cbero-
kee emigra lion. About the same time MrI ew.
IS hoss Informed us, that company of gnt,e.
men had made 10 him various verbal proposions
tor participation in the contract, which he ;e.
c..ned ior reasons which we approved. On so
iosn INST, they addressed hin, note on the sa \,
subject, to which he replied, and informed <
thereof. Copies of which we herewith tro nsmh
To you. After this, we heard for the firs, tme
or an intended protest, and threat, that the con.
tract, We had made should be defeated.
What influence, the refusal of Mr.. Lewis Ross

the complaints and protes, in question we will
not pretend to Judge
with regard to tho rights of any persons, not
represented by US. being affected BY the opera,ion
OF our ARA agement, with you, for the removal of
our people; We beg leave very resper;f,IIv
to remind you Of the fact, that in that arr,n,c.
ment, the only points brought under discussion.
were the removal of the Cherokees. and the
means for carrying it into effect. What the
rights OF any persons, besides those who were
ne subjects of the arrangement, were at all in.
'"''eo' III u, we were not aware, nor can we vet
'erc''e' the risnt of any person to interfere in
ne mailer. except yourself as the representative

1heroSecs who are the subjects of the arrange
nent on the other: and who arc using evcrv Of.
nrt, faithfully and seasonabIy to carry oat the
t'Pu'a'ons into which they have entered.
In conclusion sir, we avail ourselves of this
ccns'on to say, that our preparatory arrange.
''onta for removal. nre in an encouraging state
1t fnrwardness. The Officers of the first de.
achmeut have reported readiness to commence
