AND
A GOOD WIFE.
A good wife is one who regulates
her disposition according to the for
tunes of her husband, wlio whether
ihe is depressed in spirit, exercises
jail those peculiar properties for
which women are distinguished, en
deavoring to lighten the burthens of
his melancholy, and prove to him
that whatever may go wrong in the
out door world, in her, he may al
ways expect sympathy and support.
A good wife is one, who at all times
and upon all occasions is willing to
share the destiny of her husband,
provided that he has not forfeited ev
ery claim to her respect and affec
tions by the brutality or unmanliness
of his conduct. Mie must bend over
him in patient attention, in his hour
of sickness : wipe the feverish
drops from his brow, and smooth the
pillow of his anguished moments.
She must repel the most remote ap
proaches to his character, watch
carefully over his worldly goods,
preserve from waste and spendthrift
all that he hoards up with patience
and toil. She must as far as in her
lies, meet him with kind feelings out
streached arms from his daily voca
tion; be equaily guarded oi person
as if the sacred knot" had not been
tied; treat with becoming reserve the
insidious familiarity of the licentious
and the depraved: and act in the
company of others with the fondness
of a wife, yet with the dignity of a
highsoulcd woman. The preserva
tion of her husband’s auctions, must
b-' a matter of paratuouiaimportanre
to the enlargement of IWs fortune.
She must study his dispo ition, and
never irritate his irresislable parts,
she must love her children, and teach
them to conduct thomselves so as to
shed honer on thir father’s name.
She must walk in such away before
the ivorld that calumny may never
reach her, for in her, preservation of
an unsullied name, she not only con
tributes to the happiness, but the
honor of her husband. If her dispo
sition is naturally violent, its violence
should all be turned into the channel
of affection,and above all, she should
never give way to momentary anger,
nor be warped in her opinions as to
the fidelity and honor of her husband,
by the. representation of another.
These are what we should deem
sonic of the qualifications el a good
wife.

Cncrokeo Treaty.
ANDREW JACKSON,
President of the IT. S. of America.
Ta all and singular to whom these presents
shall come Greeting :
Whereas a Treaty, was cnncluded at New
Echola, in the Sta e of Georgia, on the
twenty-ninth day of December, eighteen
hundred and thir y five, by General William
Carroll, and John F. Schermerhorn, com
missioners on the part of the United States;
and the Chiefs, head men, and people of
the Cherokee tribe of Indians. And where
as, certain articles supplementary to die said
Treaty were agreed upon between John F
Schermerhorn, coinmiesioner on the part of
i the Udited Slates, and a deb gealion of the
Cherokee people, on (he first day of March,
one thousand eight hundred and thirtv-six.
Which treaty and supplementary ai tides
are in the words followii a to wit ;
Articles of a Treaty concluded at JVcw Echota
in the State of Georgia, on the 29th day of
December, 1835, by General William Car
roll and John E. Schermerhorn commis
sioners oil the part of the United States and
the Chiefs Head and People of the
Cherokee tribe of Indians.
Where .s the Cherokees are anxious to make
some arrangements with the Government of
the United States whereby the difficulties
they have experienced by a residence within
the settled parts of the United States under
the jurisdiction and laws of the Slate
Govei emcit'S may be terminated and adjus
ted ; and with a view to reuniting their peo
ple in one body and securing a permanent
home for themselves and their prosperity in
the country selected by their forefathers
without the territoii d limits of (he State so
vereignties; and where they can establish
and « O■>’ernpH , nt of ihoir choice
and perpe uate such a state of society as
may be most consonant with their views
habits and condi ion; and as may tend to
their iiidividu <1 comfort and their advance
ment in c viLzation.
And whereas a delegation of the Clmrokee na
tion composed »>t i.essrs. John Hoss, Rich
ard Taylor, Daniel McCoy, Samuel G in
ter and William Rogt is, with full power and
authority to conclude a treaty with the Um
ted States did on the 28th day of February
1835, stipulate and agree with the Govern
ment of'he United S ates to submit to the
Senate to fix the amount which should be
allowed the Chrokees for their claims and
fur a cession of their lands east of >he Mis
stssippi river, at d (ltd agree to abide by the
award of the Senate of the Umtid States
■ themselves and io recommend the same to
their people for ibrir final determination
And whereas on such sobmt.-si<»u the Senate
advised ‘ Ihit a sum not < x eedn g five mil
lions of dollars be p nd t<» the Cherokee In
dians for 41 their lauds and possessions cast
of the Mississippi river*’
And whereas this delegation after said award
of the .-enate had been made, wete called
upon to submit propositions as to its dispo
sition to be arrmged tn a treaty which they
refused Io do, but insisted that the same
“should be refered to their nation and mere
in general council todehberite anl deter
mine on the fubjeri in Older to ensure h >r
m'Uiv and good feeling among ’hemselves.”
And whereas a certain o.hcr delegation com
— pos'd of John Kidge, Edas Boiidinot, \r
cloll Smith, S XV Bell, John West, Mm.
A. Davis and F,Z'kiel West, who repre-en.
ted that portion of the nation th favor of em
igi.Hioi* to the I In r< kee country west of
1 th« Miss»ssip;.i en ered into propositions for
a treaty wi b John F Schermeriiotn com
missioner on tie part ol tin* UntteJ States
wliti h were to he submitted to tlietr nation
for their final a< ior; ami deit-rmina ion:
And whereas the Cherok e people, at tio ir l ist
October council al Beu C iay, fully author
tzed and empowered a delegation <>r com
mittee of twenty persons of their nation to
enter in o and conclude a treaty with the
UmirdStatcs commiscioner then present, at
that place or elsewhere, and as ttie people
had 'good reason to believe tha a treaty
would then and there he made, or at a sub
sequent council nt New Echota which ’he
commisMoners it was w> il Known and under
stood, were auihonz'-d and insructed to
! convene for said purposes , and since the
said delegation have gone to XV ashnugton
citv, with a view to close negotimom.- there,
as slated by them notwith.-'atidi ig the. w< re
< ffi< i-<lly fotormed by the Lui cd States
< omtnm.-ioru r that they would not he re
ceived bv the President of the L. States;
and ;ha< the Government would transact n<>
business of this nature with them, and that
il a liaty was made •' must be done t ere in
the nation, where the delegation u< XV ash
ingtnn last winter urged that it should bo
done for the purpose of promoting peace and
hormony among the people ; and since these
facts have also been corroborated so us by a
communication recently received by the
commissioner from the Government of the
United States and read and explained to the
people in open council and therefore believ
ing said delegation can effect nothing and
since our difficulties are daily increasing and
our situation is rendered more and more
piecarious unceitain and insecure m conse
quence of the legislation of the States ; and
seeing no effectual way of relief, but in ac
cepting the liberal overtures of the United
States.
And whereas General William Carroll and
John F. Schermerhorn were appointed com
missionors on the part of the United Smtes
with full power and authority i o conclude a
treaty with the Cherokees cast and were
directed by the President io convene the
people of the nation in general council at
New Echota and to submit said propositions
lothem with power and authoiity to vary
the same so as to meet the views of the
Chetokees in referetr e to its details.
And whereas 'he said commissioners did ap
point and notify a general council of the
nation to convene at New Echota on the
21st day of December 1835 ; and informed
them that the commissioners would be pre
pared to maka a treaty with the Cherokee
people who should assemble there and f'tose
who du! not come they should conclude
gave their assent and sanction to whatever
should be transacted at this council and the
people having met m council according to
said notice.
Therefore the following articles of a treaty
are agreed upon and concluded between Wil
liam Carroll and Jon F. Schermerhorn com
missioners on the par' of the United States
and the chiefs head men and people of the
Cherokee nation in general council assembled
this 29th day of December 1835.
Article 1. The Cherokee nation hereby
cecede leLoquish and convey to the United
States alLihe Lmds owned claimed or posses
sed bv them east of the Mississippi river, and
hereby release all their claims upon the United
States lu» spoliations of every kind for and in
consideration of the sum of five millions of
dollars to be expended paid and invested in the
manner stipulated and agreed upon tn the fol
lowing articles. But as a question has arisen
between the commissioners and (he Cherokees
whether Ihe Senate in their resolution by which
they ndvi-ed “that a sum not exceeding five
millions of dollars be pi d to the Cherokee
Indians for all their lands and possessions east
of the Mississippi river,” have included and
made any allowance or consideration for
claims for -p >ila<ioiis, it is tl>< refore agreed
on lire part of the Uni ed Sta es that this ques
ioi! shall bp again sulirni ted to the Sena e for
their consideration and decision and if no al
lowance was made for spoliations that then
au addition il sum of three hundred thousand
dollars be allowed fur the same.
Article 2. \V hereas by the treaty of May
