EMPHATICALLY OPPOSED TO
ALLOTMENT

Be ii Resoioed, by the National
Party in convention assembled and
ia expressing the gratitude for the
many blessings we enjoy Yet
we have much TO cause our sorrow
when we call to memory and take
into consideration the loss, "hy
divine WISDOM" of the many de-
parted statesmen t. the Cherokee
nation, and counselors to the
party, we moan, otherwise we have
much to rejoice for, when we con-
slider the fact that we still exist'and
maintain an independent national
ity, and by the methods of holding
our lands in commonality, each
citizen Of the Cherokee nation can
boast of the fact that has an unem-
numbered home that he can call
his own, "a blessing to any man. y
Therefore, the National Party
pledges itself to be emphatically
opposed to the allotment of our
lands, believing that such change
would work a detriment to a large
majority Of the Cherokee people.
J. r BIRD, GEO, SANDERS,
Sec'y. Chair Com.
Goingsnake Dist, Aug. 9Th, '92
The above resolution leaves no
doubts in the minds Of the people
Of the Cherokee nation as to the
policy that would be pursued by
the National party should they
ever come into power. There is
no doubt as to the sincerity of
those who favored the resolution,
but the rejecting portion of our
citizens fail to see how it will be
possible to continue to hold lands
in common very many years longer.
The increase of the claimants to
citizenship is indeed amazing and
will continue so as long as the land
is held in common. The resolu-
ton says, Each citizen of the
Cherokee nation can boast of the
fact that he has an unencumbered
HOME that he can call his own"
We believe that if the facts iii this
case were really known they would
show that fully one-third Of the
Cherokees are to day homeless,
while the major portion Of all the
valuable land is in possession Of a
lew men.

THE INEVITABLE ISSUE.
From Cherokee Advocate


EDITOR CHEROKEE ADVoCATE.- -
Win the lack Of foresight charac-
teristic OF the Indian race, our
fathers decreed that the lands OF
the Cherokee nation should be
held as common property Un-
Questionably they acted from the
purcst motives, and that which
Time has proved to be curse
they doubtless tondly believed to
be a blessing. Generous, honest
and patriotic themselves, il never
occurred to their unsophlsticated
minds that any oa2 - tilvir pos.
terlty would ever degenerate into
vile, avarcious wretch, who
would willingly sacrifice honor,
soul and country for selt-aggrand-
izement. Our fathers blundered:
but their mistake was OF the head
and not of the heart, and we can
not Justly cast a word Of censure
or reproaeh on their memories;
yet their unfortunate decision laid
the very foundation upon which
are built the chief calamities that
now beset and threaten to over
whelm our commonwealth with
disaster and ruin. Under this
communistic system have been
generated and nourished swarms
of vampires and hocks of cormo-
rants, who have secretly absorbed,
or openly devoured our substance
until but little remains of our orig
inal heritage Fifty years ago
what would have been compara-
lively an easy task, the division
of our lands in severalty, has be-

becomes more and more compli-

but has at length made up his
mind to submit to the surgeon 5

operation will be a painful one; he
is fully aware that he will be some
what disigured but he knows that
for him to enjoy life with any de
gree of pleasure it is absolutely
necessary, and that it is a waste
of time to delay its execution.
The manner in which our estate
has been squandered is vel. calcu.
lated to strike the observant and
rejecting mind with disgust and
alarm We admit that it will be
difficult and perplexing. if not
impossible to make an equitable
division OF our lands, but Justly or

and that at no distant day 1t is
the irrepressible issue. and like
Banquo's ghost, il will not down

as fate, and the man who attempts
to delude the people into the be-
lief that they will continue for all
