The Hon. VIM j. Brown, of Indiana late of the
House of Representatives, but now Chief Clerk of
the Sixth Auditors office, has very lucid and pa
trotc letter in the Union Of last evening" expressly
directed against an on dit in OF our late
muncations, TO wit: That said Mr. Brown was TO
be made Third Auditor, condition that the Indi-
ana democratic delegation went for the Union edi-
tor as printer TO the House Mr. Brown denies,
with becoming dignity and decision, any such
rangement. OF course he would scorn any partici-
patton in such movement. 1t was rumor, and
we gave it Tor what it would bring in the market.
II has brought out Mr.. Brown and Father Richie
Poor dear old Papa, how the pesky letter writers do
bother him. And what does Father Richie say?
That these same letter writers are employed here in
the dissemination OF Misrepresentation throughout
the country or, To use his words our dear old
Papa, (and God knows we love hlm) says. ssWe are
aware that scribblers are employed here to get up
misrepresentation, and circulate them for distant
markets." But Father Richie does not stop here.
He continuously We could lay our fingers upon the
wlre-workers, as well the wires themselves"
We asked Dow, of the u. s. Journal, this morn
ing, if he were one of "the wire workers. or one
of those who were issuing circulars TO solicit
votes" He said !" We have not seen Messrs.
Harris IL Heart, of the Constitution, or either OF
nuendo fails to the earth. Sincerely, we like the
dellcacy of the dear old man upon this important
matter of the public printing. He neither writes
speaks upon the subject, though we calculate that,

We desire to keep everything straight we go
along Our object is the truth, and the whole truth.
The editor of the organ, we know It, acts upon the
motto that discretion is better than truth but while
he walks round the truth in many instances as
school-boy would creep round rattesnake in his
path, he has not the discretion OF the schooboy to
pass quietly on and leave the "varmint' alone he
John is a trump card,) she must have shy at
him ;; and the consequence Is, he gets bitten lust as
John did in the Paterson railroad stock We have
never met with younger old man than Father hit
chic IN every sense.
We learn by intelligence from Arkansas, that a
number OF dissatisfied Cherokee Indians were about
leaving the Cherokee reservation IN said State, on
exploring excursion into that long strip OF north.
ern Texas, west and southwest OF Arkansas, and
hanking the Rocky Mountains. Among this ex-
plormg party notice the names OF Charles Reese,
James Starr Ezekiel Starr, Joseph Nj. Lynch, DR.. J
l.. Thompson, Matthew Moore, Jesse Hayfeld,
John Homage, John A. Bell, and others We are
personally acquainted with some of these men, and
know them to be intelligent educated civilized, and
enterprislng fellows These people are dissatisfied
with the government of John Ross. They desire to
get awav from it and the people OF Arkansas seem
equally DESTROYS OF placing on their western IRON
tier, as guard against the Camanches, asettlement
of the civilized Cherokees, under the protection OF
the government.
The scope of country referred TO- is portion of
Texas, as yet entirely vacant--it is portion OF the
great grazing range of the buff ioes and along the

Here is a beautiful field opened for the action Of
the General Government In the gradual filing up
of Ark KANSAS with white population, increasing
difficulties and annoy2nces will be likely to arise
\ between them and the Cherokees-but by the APP
preparation OF this long strip OF country. stretching

miles, under the shA dows oil the Rocky Mountains
| to the Red people, permanent home would be
provided for them, beyond which, on account OF the
| boundary of the mountains, no attempt would ever
| be made to remove them.
The necessity of the United States Government
to obtain alb solute control this unnhabited
but fertile strip of country, is obvious at glance
and undoubtedly apparent to the Texas Legisla-
tor, In the Introduction OF his bill before the late
Congress of that now defunct Republic. The dis
satisfied Cherokees themselves evidently expect TO
be removed, or to be permitted to remove. Hence
this exploring party.
TheGenera Government ought to avail itself OF this
feasible opportunity TO acquire possession OF this
Northwestern strip OF Texas by bona fde purchase
of Texas, of the territory, before 1t is absorbed by
white spectators. 1t WILL of course, be the policy
of Texas, in looking to the prompt payment OF her
public debt to bring her public domain speedily into
the market, as her only medium OF raising the
means and she cannot be expected to permit her
lands to be overrun and occupied by the United
States Cherokees no more than by any other people,
without receiving compensation therefor.
We believe there is a Cabinet Council to-day
We guess, from bird that whispers US occasional
ly, that at more than OF the late Councils the
House printing and the Organ have superseded the

That is the great questioning printing OF the House.
