RATS, Cars, AND TEKRIERs.-Sir

this island. infested by rats, imported.
with mucG trouble, u very large and
strong species. for the purpose Of ex,
tirpating the others. The new com.
ers answered his purpose TO n mira
Gle. They attacked the native rats
with such spirit that in a short time
they had the whole property 10 them
selves; but no sooner had they done
their duty upon the rats than they
extended their exertions TO the cats.
Of whom their strength and size 4:
length enabled them comp etely To
get the better; and since that last
victory, Sir Charles Prices rats. as
they are called, have i~ncrea.ed SO
prodigionsIy that this single species
is now a greater nuisance to this Is
land than all the others before the n
were together. The hes, mode OF
destroying rats here is with terriers.
Those imported from England soon

Cher okee nation, the first number OF
| " hich was issued about the middle Of

The object Of TIE council of the
nation, in providing for the publIca-

Their character as n distinct commu-
nitv.
In commencing and sustaining a
public journal in .he nation. its sue
ces. must depend very much upon
the kind feelings. liberaliiv and pat
ronase Of the citizens Of the United
States. Among them We are aSsnr-
ed there exists generally a desire that

ac,er, condition ard destiny. lgnor-
ance Of their condition. opinions, and
c!aims. has been Il them a fountain
Of many wrongs: Il fountain from
which they have been forced TO drink
many bitter ~draughts.
From this cause, measures of poll
cv in themselves unjust, and highly
destructive TO their pence and pres
poets. have been conceived and per-
sisted in to their accomplishments,
with singular ~pertinaclty. by those
from whom they have right TO ex.
pect and claim protection. 1t will
therefore. be the aim of those having
. charge of the Advocate, TO enlIghten
public sentiment, as far as possible,
as TO the feelings, wishes and proper
expectations Of the C~herokees.
And while it is intended 10 make
the paper national in its n and
character. abstaining from all parti'
zanship in TIE internal politics OF the
nation, it will nevertheless be open
to full but courteous discussions oil
anv measures of policy on the part OF
the United States. which touch upon
or effect the rights and interests. not
only Of the C~hcrokees, but also Of
their red brethren.
In making an appeal to the citizens
of the United States for tier friend
" aid in the undertaking. we fell san
Guine that it will not be in van.
