CHEROKEE PHOEIX AND INMANS’ADVOCATB. Mr. Boudinott,—Your correspondent, Ga-wo-hee-lo-skee, has given you a specimen of the conjugation ol a Cherokee verb in its intransitive loiin. If any of your learned readers have had the curiosity to look at that specimen, I presume they will also be gratified to see a specimen of a transitive verb, with the manner in which it expresses the person and number of its object as well as of its subject. I propose to carry th# declension only through the Present Tense of the Indicative Mode, which will be suffeient for a specimen. In a future communication 1 may give you a list of Cherokee tenses, so far as I have discovered them, with an attempt at naming them, which latter, how ever. is not an easy task. In the following specimen, the number and person of the Object of the verb is expressed at the hood of such division, mid the number and peiSon of the Subject or Jtgent on the left hand ol the column. »-iTot *1 am tying.
