THE CHEROKEE POLICE.
Tbi, body Of men are becoming altogether 100
,,..umo,;ous, for 90 small a portion Of so small
n,,;oo. Wo learn from a gentleman that the
CsD,.ip of the " Police Company" recently maoo
/. demaud of Col. LOOMS that he should deliver
10 than tho two S,arr's, Ellis and William! IoI
,bi, bold and audacous considering the souree)
request, Col. Loomis returned an answer "'na'
he was too small man to make such demanu
,ho, il should have come from the Principal Ch'ei
and if he (,he Chief) should make such a demand
he %..! eH s.k Il sis !ss i%a man lie
that the "Polce Company" then determined to
take tho S,arr's bv force, and gavo until last
nigh. for Capt. Boone 10 surrender them /! 'er''
" things have come to pretty pass. II the oi'
6eers of the United States are thus to be bearded
If this threa, is true and is attempted to be exc.
cu.ed, we sincerely trust that Capt. Boone Will
teach the Cherokee Police most salutary lesson.
Their conduct is without excuse, for il is contra.
nv to all law whatsoever. We opine that they
will rue their audacity If they carry it too far.
After all, the poor Cherokecs are their own
worst enemies. They abuse almost constantly
the Government Of the United States, notw'h.
standing the many benefits that they have receiv.
ed a, lis hands. We know they deny that Co
vernment has done them any benefit. but that is
always the cry Of the ungrnteful. lfthe Chero'
KEGS had improved the benefits conferred upon
them by the Government, and their leaders had
no, ,peculaisd upon and fraudulently made use of
these benefits. they nigh, now have been the most
prosperous and happy people in the Southwest.
They are their own enemies, aud unless speedy
reform takes place, they will soon be left with no
name upon the face of tho earth. Alas for the
poor Cherokees
| GThc Democratic meeting in Sewer county
does not acknowledge the Bunner as the organ of
he Democratic party-no, not by long ways.
What docs the Banner say, how does it feel to-
wards this expression of public sentiment? Does

II. Dickson''-a charge, too, that Col. Wharton
Rector with all his strength could not establish
sander, too, which some Of the very men whose
names appear upon the list Of Jurors, do not for
moment believe, as they are now ardent Ashley
men. Nothing else could be found: No. This
same old tale, which has been rsfuted and ably
81; 81, is tho nj in foup IN
stain the character OF Col. Ashley with. A word
is said Of hi. honor. We cannot let that pass un.
needed. No man, we say it boldly, has done
more TO secure his own and the honor of his State
than Ashley; no one has tito to fhirer Names
bu, many Of his enemies (among them we do no.
include Mr.. Dckson) possess names that are far
from being fair. That he opposed Mr.. Dickson's
confirmation to office, has not boon proven. We
think his letter entirely uncalTcd for.
W We copy in todays paper tho notice of
the publication of the Arkansas Democrat" by
our friend Mr.. Woodruff We hail this accession
Of strength to tho democratic cause. with great
warmth and gadaess. The old veteran has been
reused by the malice and Vaccinations Of his en-.
emies, Of Gov. Yell, who once received great
bene6ts,a, his hands. He has donned his armor
and already is in the "thickest Of the fight"
Democratic colors will be nailed by him to the
mast, and there he. undsmayed bu. feared. will
keel p them. With him at our head we have no doub.
as to the complete discontinue Of the band Of
ambitious and dsorganizng men, who are not only
endsavoring to suppIant Ashley, but to fost them.
selves into Office against the will Of the people.
Crawford knows Woodruff, the Stnte knows him.
He is an old citizen; has fought many a hard bat
tie in the cause Of democracy in this State. lie
is full match for DR.. Borland Of Efisy no,orc,y.
