’Wu* V \\eyv>kvvs. [From //;r (ib.bc, i f Mftrih 27.] He are happ\ Io b arn that an ar rangement has been made with :i dde ration of theClu rckec Indians for (hi c ssion of the claims to their ccuntn east of the Mississippi, anti for their removal \v< st of that river. The treatj nr- proposed, has been printed at the re quest of the Indians, with a view to its distribution amongst their people, for their consideration and final action. • Milling tb.e subject is interesting to our loaders, we this day lay it before them, together with an address of the President to them, which has been in like manner printed for circulation nmong them. It will be perceived that the arrangement is entirely pro visional, and must be confirmed by the Cherokee people, and subsequent!} ratified by the I*resident & the Senate before it acquires any validity. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Cherokee people will be induced to give their assent to this very liberal arrangement. They will certainly do 6o if they are not misled by the same persons who have heretofore opposed the settlement of this controversy for the sake of thcii own self interest. This oj.nosing parting has been diminishing, an i w<* trust will form a minority when tae sujeel is brought before the tribe. We u iderstand that the Cherokees will be assembled in Council some time during the approaching summer or \ autumn, and that Commissioners will be appointed to meet them and lay the whole subject before them. We believe Th it every impartial man in our coun ■** "* Vry, will be satisfied that the terms offered arc as liberal as the circum stances will justify,and that the Indians ought not to hesitate a moment in ac cepting them. To the Cherokee Tribe of Indians East nJ the. Mississippi river. Mv Friends} 1 have viewed yorir condition with great interest. For many years I have been acquaint ed with your people, and under all varieiv of circumstances, in peace and war.—Your fathers were well known to me, and the reg ird which I cherish ed for them has caused me to feel great solicitude fur your situ ition. To these feelings. growing out of form :r recol lections, have been added the sanction drrtWend the relation in which lu « cU.I? uCuUUii rlilH I<l »V .j, I <Uil pi.IV c l towards you. Listen to me, there „ I are, as your fathers have listened, w file I commuaicale tojou my sentf-1 rn mis on the critical stale of \cur a flairs. i You are now placed in the midst 0f..- white population. Your peculiar cus toms-, which regal ited your intercourse with o ie another, have been abrogated by th? 'rreat political community among which you live;- and you are now subject to the same laws which gov ern the other citizens of Georgia and n’tabam i. You are h ibkrto- prosecu tions for offences, and to civil actions tor a breach ol any ofyour contracts. Most of your people are uneducated, and are li idle to be brought into col lision at all times with their white neighbor*. Your young men are ac tju.j u.g habits of intoxication. With H.ru ig p iss'.uas, and without those h.tb y:s of restraint which oar laws incul cite and render necessary, they are frequ • ‘tly driven to excesses which m i-i eventually terminate in their ru j . fiie game has disappeared among *« •(’, a., 1 you must depend upon agri cuj .n e and the mechanic arts for sup- I art. A:.d, yet,.a large portion ofyour people hava acquired little or no prop erty in tiie soil itse'f, or in-any article of pec- '’a' property which can be use ful to them. Low, under these cir f umtianecs, can you live in the country you noiy occupy I Your coi.-diti.ou rmr?t become worse and -.rorsc, and you will ultimately disappear, so many tribe? h ive done before you. Os all thia I warned your peop'S when I met them in council eighteen years ago. 1 then advised them to sell out their possessions east of the Missis £.'>ui and to r< move to the country west of that river. This advice I have con tinued to y ou :i * various times from period do-vn to the present day, and camyou now ichk back and doubt the wisdom of this coUhb. 1 ? Had you, then removed, you would have gone with all tiie means necessary to estab lish foarMves in a fertile country, suf ficiently extensive for year subsistence an l neyo.id the reach of the moral e vili which are hastening your destruc tion. Instead of being a divided pco pie as you now arc, arrayed into par ties bitterly opposed to each other, you would have been a prosperous and a u* nited community. Your tar.ns would Jiav > been open a..d cultivated, comfor table h' H,es would have been erected, them • 3 dsuosislcnce abund.iiii, and i j, you would have been governed by your! ©vtii cu-tOUw iuid uius, a.iu .cmoved, fi cm the t fleets of a white population., G here you now are you are encompas -cd by evils, moral and physical, and these arc fearfully increasing. Look even at the experience ofthe last few years. What have you gain ed by adhering to the pernicious coun-! seis w hich have led you to reject the j liberal offers made for your removal? They promised you an improvement in your condition. But instead of that, every year has brought increasing diffi culties. How, then, can you place confidence in the advice of-men who are misleading you for their own pur poses, and whose assurances have pro ved, from the experience of every year, to be utterly unfounded? I have no motive my friends, to de ceive you. lam sincerely desirous to promote your welfare. Listen to me, therefore, while I tell you that you can not remain where you now are. Cir cumstances that cannot be controlled, and which arc beyond the reach of hu man laws, render it impossible that you can flourish in the midst of a civilized community. You have but one reme-i dy within your reach. And that is, to remove to the IVest and join your coun tiymen, who are already established there. And the sooner you do this, the) sooner you will commence your career of improvement and prosperity. A number of your brethren, who have been delegated by that portion of your people favorable to emigration, i have repaired to this place, in the hope of being able to make some arrange ment, which would be acceptable to ' the Government of the United States, I which would meet your approbation, j They do not claim the right of making any arrangement which would be bin-j ding upon you; but have expresslyj stated, that whatever they did would ' be utterly void, unless submitted to and approved by you. The whole subject has been taken into consideration, and an arrangement has been m ide, which ought to be, and I trust will be, entirely satisfactory to you. The Senate of the United States have given their opinion of the value of your possessions; and this value is ensured io* you in the arrangement which h»w been prepared. Mr. John floss, and the party who were with him, expressed their determination to accept, so far as they were ebhterned, such a sum as the Senate might consi der just, and promised to recommend 4and sunnort ths same in vour renoraj council, ane siipuruions contained in this instrument, are designed to af lord due protection to’private rights, j to- mTtke adeq.u itc provision for the j poorer class of your people, to provide for the rem jval of all, and to lay the found.ition cf such social" mid political establishments in your new couhtryas will render you a happy and prosper ous people. IV hy, then, shoul 1 any honest man among you obj- ct to remo val? The United Slate's have assign ed to you a fertile and extensive coun try, witii a very fine climate adapted to your habits, and with all the other niituinladvantagcs which you ought to desire or expect. I shall in-the course of ;» short time appoint commissioners' fur the purpose of meeting.the whole body ofyour peo ple in-council. They will explain to you more fully, my views, and the na ture of the stipulations which were of sered to you. These stipulations provider Ist. For an addition to the country already assigned to you west ol' the Mississippi, and for it, by pa tent, in fee simple. And also for the security of the necessary po litical rights, and for preventing white persons from trespassing up on yuti. 2d. Fur the payment of the fufr val ue to each individual, of his pos-' session in Georgia, Alabama, N. Carolina and Tennessee. . 3d. For the removal at the expense of the United States, ofyour whole people; for their subsistence fora' year after their arrival in their | new country, and for a gratuity i one hundred and fifty dollars to ' eactf person. 4th» For i.S' usual anppTy of blan ket?, rifles, as»d kettles. sth. Fortnt- investment of four hun dred thousand dollars, order to secure a permanei..- annuity. 6th. For adequate pror’i 3 * oll f°’ schools, agricultural inslru Jients, domestic wnimals, missionary i?s tiblisbincnts, the support cfor phans, &iC. 7tb. For the payment of claim?. 8i!;. Fur granting pensions to such of your people as have been disa bled 4 in 1 the service of the United States. These are tb.e general provisions contained in the arrangement. But there are many other details favorable to you which I do not stop here to enu ; merate, as they will he.placed before I you in the arrangement itself. Their ‘total amount is four millions five hun- dred thousand dollars, which added to : the sum of five hundred thousand dol ; Jars, estimat' d as the value of the ad-1 ditional laud granted you, makes five ' millions of dollars. A sum, which if equally divided among all your people east of the Mississippi, estimating them at ten thousand, which I believe is their full number, would give five hundred dollars to every map, woman, and child in your nation. There are few sepa rata communities, whose property, if divided, would give to the persons com posing them, such an amdtint. It is e nough to establish you all in the most comfortable manner: and it is to be ob served, that besides this, there are thir teen millions of acres conveyed to the western Cherokees and yourselves by former treaties, and which are destin ed tor your and their permanent resi dence. So that your whole country, west of the Mississippi, will contain not less than thirteen millions eight hun dred thousand acres. The choice now is before you. May the Great Spirit teach you how to choose, Ihe fate ot your women and children, the fate ofyour people to the remotest generation, depend upon tin issue. Deceive yourselves no longer. Do not cherish the belief that you can ever resume your former political situ alion, While you Continue in your pre sent residence. As certain as the sun shines to guile you in your path, so certain is it that you Cannot drive back the laws of Georgia from among you. Every year wilt increase your d'dFicul ties. Look at the condition of tl < Creeks. Sec the collision? which art taking place with them. Sec how tin young menzarecommit'mg depreda lions upon the property ofour citizen?, and are shedding their blood. Tliis cannot and w ill not be allowed; Pua isment will follow, and all who arc en gaged in these offmees must sutler. Your young inen will com nit the same acts, and the same consequences must ensue'. Think then of all these thing?. Shu' your ears to bad counsels, nook a' your condition as ii uiw is, a id then consider vvh.it it will be if you follow the advice I give you. Yotrr frre; d, Signed, ANEfcEiV JACKSON.

FROM TIIF liAYTOV JOURNGt. .JUDGE A'HITE OF TENNESSEE It lii‘Vit>ir theTt -Von would Slaved liberality eiroirgh to pub lish a candnboxptession of opinion upon the subject’ of a candidate fir the nex 1 I’residcncy, however violently you ■.might suspect it of coming from npoiifi ca'i opponent, I send you the following brief commu’ai'chfib;;, co’nli lently ex pecting that you will insert it in the Journal. The name of Hugh Lawson White has been almotmced Io the people of Tennessee, by leading adminis- tration journals of that State, as a man peculiarly fit to fill the proud station irom which*Gen. Jackson will soon re tire, accompanied by the blessings 6J grateful millions. This nomination appears to haVe been received by all parties with thc-most rcspec’fii.l atten tion. 1 linve reflected much on the ; claims, qualifications, and prospects ot Judge White, and have come lo the conclusion, that.be will not only stand foremost in the /flections of the great Democratic Party throughout the U- State?, but that he will also recsivj the support of a large division of the Opposition. No rn:-wi would be more willing than myself, at another time, and under a different condition of things, to advo cate the claims of Mr. Van Buren. But whilst asserting this, I, for one am i unwilling to shut my eyes upon the facts or attempt vainly to oppose the ) tide of circumstances, which is now rotting onward with irresistible forre. What arc the facts to which I allude?, 1. When the complete identifica tion of Mr. Van Buren with the Jack son party, as it now exists, shall be un- I settled and destroyed by the disappear-! 1 ance of our pi esent patriotic Chief Magistrate from the scene of action, it is probable, that the political strength of Mr. Van Buren will be contracted within thenarrow limits of his own personal popularity; thereby leaving large masses cf the present Jackson party i-nditferent or opposed to his sue-; cess. ’’ 2. A considerable portion of the nC.wocratic party out of New York, whentin-T remember the geographical! extent—-the population—the immerse] commerce—the enormous banking ad vantages and capital of the State,all be rendered ten-fold more formidable by the tremendous party machinery there in use entertain a deep and unaffected ap prehension, that the election of a New York dynasty, for eight years, would be dangerous to the rights, if not the exis tence of the smaller Stales. Such are some of ths facts upon which I ground thu belief, that the Demo* cratic parly should not hastily hazard all the good they have achieved, and all the bright hopes of further good they so fondly cherish, by placing at itsjhead a name,the influence of which cannot preserve, command, and quicken it, through ail its parts, when the Old Roman shall have gone down into the shades of private life. On the other hand— 1. The claims of Judge White are preferred, it is presumed, by General Jackson. 2. He supported Gen. Jackson for the Presidency at a time when Air. Van Buren was doing all he could to defeat hjM. 3 The intellectual endowments and acquirements of Judge White, are of the highest order. Asa man, he is upright. Asa citizen, patriotic and vigorous. Asa Lawyer, skilful, ac curate and profound. As a Statesman, replete with that deep thought, ex perience and sagacity, which constitute the perfection of wisdom. 5. The unquestioned purity of Judge White’s attachment to the person and principles of the Old Hero; 'The supe riority of his comprehensive Under standing; his modest and unobtrusive hut sterling worth; the beautiful demo cratic consistency of his whole life, render altogether certain, that more than any other man, he will pieserve unbroken and undistracted, the solid strength of the Jackson Democratic Party. _ ■ j 6, From the peculiar political and geographical position ot Judge White,| it is probable, that he would obtain; the vote of a large portion of|he Whig party. The whole South and South West, for instance, would go for him oolier than any one; while the Jack- j <on strength of the' Northern, Eastern and Middle States would be bound to him by al! those principles,ties,associa tions, and sj mp iihies, which have been matured into existence by the warm contest of the hist twelve years. The Democratic Party should go the whole for the good of their country. They worship not men.. If probabilities trr in favoro/ Judge While, itfid more especially ifhis election would operate is a ci'.*ipromise between the two par ties wb »sc contests have already shak en the foundation stone of the govern nent; if I know them, they are feady 1 o lay their more personal preferences, as a sacrifice,'upon the alter of patriot hiti,' and say, let the manlloof the Did. Hero fan upon me shoulders ol llCgii . Lawso.v WniTßt- -* BRANCH. __ G A Z ETTEr - C4SSVILLE-. •7’cssdav Evening, April 14.
