give than has West. But he is understood to
have entered heartily into the sentiments Of his
brethren of the treaty party who nave agreed TO
the amnesty; and no Que will be more ready to
promote il. No wonder that all the Cherokees
desired peace when they had such valuable men

the late Capt. John Rogers, and William l.. Holt.
and Morgan the swift pedestrian. After ccnclut.

Ross assured the President that the treaty had
been made in all good faih-that the Cherokees
would exert themselves to improve, until they are
prepared TO become as one Of the states, and that
they desired all possible assistance from the Unit.
ed States, The President assured him that just.
ice would be done oil parties of the Cherokees,
and every facility extended for their vancement.
He exhorted them 10 forget the past, and live be-

compliment to the Rev. William Potter nd the
Rev. Cephas Washbourne, who have used their ut

airy Iabors among The Cherokees, in behalf of The
families. These are the gentlemen who attend.
