date for Governor, on a ticket with THos. w.
NEWTON, for Congress. In the most prompt and
unequivOcal terms, he declines the honor thrust
upon him by his friends in White co.. upon grounds
of party policy and integrity. He declines, first,
because, to run " indepenpent candidate"
against regular nominee, is violation OF party
integrity, and must result in the destruction of
the democratic party. Secondly, Because he ob

speaks in the highest terms of the private and

prised to discover that his character and position

CHEROKEE AGExr-Tho Hon. R. C. S. BRowN
of this county has been appointed Cherokee A
gent, in the place of Col. McKIssIc deceased.
No one possesses tho personal regard of his
neighbors more than does Judge Brown, and his
appointment will give satisfaction to a large num-
Der OF the citizens of this county, but not upon
the grounds of his 'democracy,'' as would be in
ferred by the remarks ofthe Banner, but from MS
personal worth. He was about the last member

REV. S. B. TREAT.-Always keenIy alive to
the danger of Abolition when that innamabIe spi,
rit is in our midst, or upon our border, we very
naturally take alarm when such danger is nppa-
rent. When we were informed that Mr. Treat
was in the Indian country meddIing with the sIa-
very question, we expressed our alarm aud added
oar caution upon the subject.
Since our article upon Mr.. rs mission was pu-
bIished, we have been informed that although it is
admitted be IS Abolitonist yet ho has made
no such efforts in regard to The aboishing of sla-
very in the Cherokee nation, as he was charged
with, by our informants. The information we
derived, about Mr.. Treats principles and action
in the nation, came from the very best sources in
the nation, as far as intelligence, responsibility
and integrity can render them and we we're COM
PEELED to rely upon such authority indispuiabe.
II our informants in error, it must be through
an unaccountabIe mistake, and not from any de-
sire to injure Mr.. T., or from lack of opportu-
nifty to learn the facts. But being disposed al
ways, to give every one il fair hearing, and no.
desiring to do injustice TO any, we, with pleasure,
state what We hear in Mr.. Treats favor. Mr..
Ross, editor Of the Cherokee Adrocatc, who has,
also, the best opportunities Of knowing says in re-
gard TO cur article
"lt is with unfcignod regret that we observe
the foregoing notice Of the yist Of the Rev. S. B.
Treat, By our friend Of the InteIiigencer. We
must confess that it is our conviction that the
charge IS incorrect-and calculated 10 abuse the
public mind 1t is our privilege 10 hold coulmuu-
ion with the members Of one Of the churches ua-
der the supervision of the 4. B. c.. f. NJ. We
have heard of no such roposiions being made by

sured that none such hare been made. We are
sorry that friend Clarke should have been misin-
formed. Persons should be exceedingly careful
