of his lntenlion by leave of the Senate to intro.

The late Disturbances in the Cherokee Naiion.-
Our Course.--We have been informed that stc
ries are in calculation in regard to our course in
the late Cherokee Disturbances, circulated to
prejudice one of the parties against us, and which
nre entirely without foundation. II is reported
we arc informed, the, this paper has enlisted in
tie cause Of the "Old Settler" and Treaty q"

claims. Tint such stories are untrue, every re.
fleeing man will at once perceive, by reference
10 tho course Of the paper under its prcsen, con
ductors.
In speaking Of Cherokee affairs, we have evel
refrained from giving anything Ikea party colour.
ing to our thoughts, nnd simply related facts MS
they occurred, or wero told tous.
The present, tho Junior Editor, who has been
in the establishment sine its commencement in
some capacity or other, has ever recommended
neutral and silent course in regard to Cherokee
nffaIrs; and in the summer of 1913, when almost
every week. there appeared an article on the Che.
rokee difficulties, he was the frs. to censuro Tho
course af}he paper, and to recommend discon.
,nuence ofthe articles referredto. And i, is well
'tnowu that he first recommended Nh. GEo. W.
cLAnxs to The proprietor and publisher :, as suis,
able person to conduc. the paper. And during
the publication Of the paper by Mr.. Clarke bo fire..
quen''y had control Of it, in Mr. C's absence, and
he deiies any one to chow, q, any time ,ha, /, IA.

true merits of tho difficulties in the Nation, and
In order to avoid Partially, have ever refused to

Of the course Of the different parties, thinking
that the whites hal no business TO medde in af.

That there are many whites who take sides
with one or the other party, is well known; and
that 1t has ever proved injurious to them none will
deny; but that We havo ever countena need or al.
sised such interference is wholly untrue.
Since the lntcgenccr passed into tho hands ofI

day next comes on the "tug of war in ~

considerable excitement and a heavy vote will

upon the issue. At Washington, too, il is said,
there is n deep interest felt by the Polk party
in this election. Several of Folks office hold
ers in ~ II. have recently visited Washington,
and letter from Washington, published in
the Independent Democrat, among other
things, says:
"At this time a large sum Of money is being
raised among the office holders, and certain
Southern members of Congress, for the pur-
pose ofyour election. 1t is this golden fleece
which drew so many ofyour Democratic edi-
tors, to this City, in the early part Of the scs-
sion. One ofthe Virginia members said to me
yesterday, ~ have forty MS good niggers as ev-
er hoed tobacco; and had rather hear to-mor-
row, that every mothers son of them lay a
corpse on my plantation, than that John p.
Hale should come his DID Abolition stuff in

Hale, however, is driving brisk business.
His meeting at Bath was attended by about

We will not undertake to predict the result.

THE TARIFF. The Philadelphia American
Sentinel, Loco Foco journal, in speaking of
Sir Roberts tariff bill says:-"The Tariff bill
of Mr. Walker, which will be found in another
column, is calculated to inflict a serious blow
upon the manufacturing interest of this State.
1t becomes the friends of the Tariff, through
out this Commonwealth, therefore to speak
out in unmistaken language on this subject
If Mr. Walkers bill shall pass, and our work
shops be closed, we shall witness scene of
distress in this country, that scarcely had a
parallel in any former history of our country
The British are now awake to their interest,
hence we find that the Parliament of Great
Britain have ordered the annual report of Mr.
Walker to be printed. When his Tariff bill
shall reach that country,we shall see how kind
ly it will be received by the British ministry
The British are in favor of all acts that break
down the manufacturing interests ofthis coun-
try"
