ate reply to the abatement heretofore
made, tmpunging his motives inSthe
sale of the Cherokee neutral land! Be-
ing thoroughly convinced that thein-
terests of the Indians required it, he

er, and<after falling In all quarters he

yerted into cash. Other interested
parties desired the vacation of the con-

tract, and succeed inS making better
disposition of these lands, none OF his
friends Will be more highly gratfied
than shall be with his success.
