New England and the West.

1t says:
We are strengthened in the belief that
there is growing up an antagonism be-

may heed the lash of w Wendell Phillips,
but that angry sound will be disregarded

sire for vengeance from the people it
never had much occasion to like. The
South sees an ally in the West. 1t finds
there border tolerance and more hope,
ful faith, and it can the more readily at
tach itself to the States which evincc

A delegation of the Cherokecs, headed
by Coils Adams and Vann, waited upon
the President this morning.
Col Vann said that in the relation they
had hitherto held as self governing peo-
pie under the protection of the United
States, the Cherokee nation had prosper
ed, and if all the Indians of their tribe
were as capable as the delegation then
present, citizenship might not injure
them; but large majority of their mum
Der were wholly unable to enter into a
hand to hand conflict with white men in
the daily transactions of life Therefore,
if they were to be subjected to q terrific
rial government, as threatened by bill
now under consideration by the legisla
tive bodies, their days would soon be
numbered. They would speedily be de-
piived Of all their lands and property by
the superior power and cunning of white
men, and he, therefore, hoped they might
be left in undisturbed possession Of the
territory guaranteed to them by treaty,
and the form of government best suited
to their wants
The President replied thar the matter
was one Of serious import, and that he
would certainly be unwilling to do any
thing inimical to their interests, or that
would cause their retrogression.
The delegation then shook hands and
retired. They have prepared memorial
to Congress for protection against the
threatened encroachment. -.-,...-.,
The democratic members of Congress
held a caucus last evening. 1t is said
that if in the contested election cases now
pending the decisions are made in favor
of radical contestants against democrats,
irrespective Of the facts { as seems proba-
BILE just now, the two democratic men,
bers of the election committee will with

There is expressed by leading members
of the republican party and friends ofthe
administration, much anxiety as to the
course the southern people may adopt in
putting into working order their machine
ry Of government, as on this depends,
they say, their prospects for the future.
If an attempt be made to organize these
State governments with an extreme radi-
cal programme, the party leaders here
feel assured that the days Of the republi-
can party are numbered; hence, they are
taking steps to induce the radicals Of
Mississippiland Texas to pursuea judici.
Gus course and if possible to absorb the
solid conservative elements, and thus
build up moderate republican party in
the south. which will commend itself to
the southern people.

TEST OATH DECIDED VALID.

The Supreme Court decided to-day the
long pending Missouri test oath case of
Gen. Francis p, Blair, Jr., against John
S Thompson and Others, being writ Of
error to the Supreme Court of the State
Of Missouri, sustaining the validity of
the oath. In announcing this the chief
justice said
"In the case Of Francis p Blair VS..
John s. Thompson ct al, writ of error
to the Supreme Court of the State of Mis-
souri,, the chief justice announces that,
the Judges of this court being equally di-
vided in opinion, the decision Of the Su-
preme Court of Missouri is affirmed
In cases where the court is evenly di-
vided no opinion is made out or read
from the bench. The judges of course
stood four for and four against the States
test oath Among the former was the
chief justice, who sustained the oath.
