Invention of the Cherokee Alphabet.
Mr. Editor—The following statement ,
respecting the invention of the Cherokee j
Alphabet, may not be altogether uninter- ,
esiing to some of your readers. I have ii j
from a particular friend of Mr. Guess, who i
lived near him at the time he made his in- ]
vention. i
Mr. Guess is in appearance and habit, •
a full Cherokee, though his grandfather on •
his father’s side was a white man. He
has no knowledge of any language but the I
Cherokee, consequently, in his invention 1
of the alphabet, be bad to depend entirely I
on his own native resources. He was '
led to think on the subject of writing the J
Cherokee language by a conversation which *
took place one evening at Sauta. Some *
young men were making remarks on the I
superior talents of the white people. One £
said, that white men could put a talk on |
paper, and send it to any distance, and it ■
would be understood by those who receiv- *
ed it. They all agreed, that this was
very strange, and they could not see how c
it could be done. Mr. Guess, after silent- c
ly listening to their conversation for a f
while, raised himself, and putting on an air f
of importance, said, “you are all fools; |
why the thing is very easy; I can do it ‘
myself;” and, picking up a flat stone, he f
commenced scratching on it with a pin; 1
and after a few minutes read to them a sen- r
tence, which he had written by making r
a mark for each word. This produced a c
laugh and the conversation on that subject 3
ended. But the interventive powers of
Guess’s htind were now roused to action ; t
and nothing short of being able to write t
the Cherokee language, would satisfy I
him.—He went home, purchased materi- t
nls, and sat down to paint the Cherokee i
language on paper. He at first thought k
of no way, but to make a character for f
each word. He pursued this plan for
about a year; in which lime he had made t
several thousand characters. He was then g
convinced that the object was not attaina- j
ble in that way: but he was not discour- g
aged. He firmly believed, that there was »
some way in which the Cherokee language j
could be expressed on paper, as well as r
tbe English : and, after trying several oth- t
er methods, he at length conceived the c
idea of dividing the words into parts. c
Be had not proceeded far on this plan,lt
before he found, to his great satisfaction, 1
that the same characters would apply? in 1
different words, and the number of char- i
acters would be comparatively few. After 1
putting down, and learning all the syllables I
that he could think of, he would listen to i
speeches, and the conversation of stran- 1
gers, and whenever a word occurred which
had a part, or syllable, in it, which he had
Dot before thought of, he would bear it on
his mind, until he had made a character
for it. In this way he soon discovered all
tbe syllables in the'language. in .forming
his characters, he made some use of the
English letters, as he found them in a
spelling book, which he had in bis posses-
sion. After commencing upon the last
mentioned plan, I believe he completed his
system in about a month.
During the time he was occupied in in
venting the alphabet, he was strenuously
opposed by all his friends and neighbours.
He was frequently told that he was throw
mg away his time and labour, and that
none but a delirious person, or an ediot,
would do as he did. But this did not dis
courage him. He would listen to the ex
postulations of his friends, and then deli
berately light his pipe, pull his spectacles
ojwhjs e*'es, and sit down to His work,
at. opting to vindicate his con
duct. Altar completing his system, he
found ihiitfi persuading the
people to learn it. Nor could he'succeed,
until he went to the Arkansas and taught a
few persons theie, one of whom wrote a
letter to some distant friends in this Nation,
and sent it by Mr. Guess, who read it to
the people. This letter excited much curi
osity. Here was a talk in the Cherokee
language, which had come all the way
from the Arkansas sealed up in paper, and
yet it was very plain. This convinced
many that Mr. Guess’ mode of writing
would be of some use Several persons
immediately determined to try to learn.
They succeeded in a few days, and from
this it quickly spread all over the nation,
and the Cherokeeg, (who as a people had
always been illiterate,) were in the course
of a few months, without school or money,
able to read and write in their own lan- .
guage.
This astonishing discovery certainly en
titles Mr. Guess to the warmest gratitude
of his country; and should the Cherokee
language continue to be spoken, his fame
will be handed down to the latest posteri
iy-—Cherokee Phoenix. -
The following fable is extracted from a new
work whi. h has .lately been published in
New York under the title of a “ JVeu; Mirror
fur Travellers said to be from the pen of
Mr. Paulding, author of “ Loiters irom the
South,” See. Although originally intended
to apply to the acts of the Legislature of Now
Tork.it is an excellent allegory o( the pre
sent tariff law and its < ff. cts, and will answer, ;
with slight alteration, almanac makers say,
for the meridian of Georgia
“ Once upon a time, the empire of the ,
geese was under the government of an old j
king Gander, who though he exercised an |
absolute sway, was so idle, pampered, and ,
phlegmatic, that he slept three fourths of ,
his lime, during which the subject geese j
did pretty much as they pleased. But for
all this he was a prodigious tyrant who ,
consumed more corn than half of his sub
jects, and moreover obliged them to duck y
their heads to him whenever they passed |
But the chief complaint against him was,
that though he could do just as he pleased, j
it was his pleasure to sit still and do no- >
thing.
“ Whereupon it came to pass one day, !
his subjects held a town meeting, or it ]
might be a convention, and dethroned him, |
placing the government in the hands of the |
wise geese. Feeling themselves called up s
on to justify the choice of the nation, by
bettering its condition, the wise geese set
to work, and passed so many excellent |
laws that in a little time the wisest goose j
of the community could hardly tell wheth- (
er it was lawful to say boo to a goose, or
hiss at a puppy dng, or kick up a dust in ,
a mill pond of a warm summer morning. t
When the time of these wise geese expired, .
other geese still wiser were chosen to gov- f
ern in their stead, for such was the prodi- ,
gious march of mind among them, that ,
there was not a goose in the whole empire, (
but believed himself ten times wiser than ,
his father before him. Each succeeding s
council of wise geese of course thought it
incumbent upon it, to give a push to the J
march of mind, ontil at length the mind f
marched so fast that it was in great danger (
of falling on its nose, and continually ran
against posts or fell into ditches.
“Thus each generation of wise geese
went on making excellent laws to assist '
the march of mind and the progress of pub- f
lie improvement, until in process of time, r
there were no more good laws to pass, and j
it became necessary to pass bad ones to 1
keep their bands in, and themselves in their I
places. a
“ Gentlemen,” said a little, busy, bus
tling, active, managing, talkative young
goose, who was resolved nobody should
insinuate that he could not say boo to a
goose—“gentlemen, it does not signify, \
we must do something for the march of 5
mind and the progress of public improve- f
ment, or the citizen geese will call us all «
to nought, and choose other wise geese in t
our stead. They are already the happi- i
est geese in the world; we must make f
them a,little too happy, or they will never i
be satisfied.” Hereupon each of the wise t
geese burned to do something to assist the t
march of mind and progress of public im- t
provement. One proposed a law to for- t
bid geese to stand upon one leg at night, s
and muzzle their bills in their own feathers, ‘
this being a dangerous practice, inasmuch '
as it exposed them to be surprised easily t
by foxes. Another offered a resolution to I
oblige all the geese to lay their eggs the
other end foremost, and hatch them in hall t
the usual period, whereby much lime would i
be saved, and there would be a mighty in- I
crease of population. This last motion i
was made bv an old batchelor goose, who |
bad mads the subject of population his i
11l
t chief study. A third, proposed a law so
i bidding the young goslings to paddle in tl
water till they were old enough to get 01
of the way of the great bull-frogs and soar
ping turtles. A' fourth, moved to pic
one half the geese of one half their fenthen
and give them to the other half of th
geese, for the encouragement of dorpeiti
industry, and the national independence
After these laws had been debated abou
si\ months, they were passed without on
position, it being discovered to the grea
surprise of the house, that there was no dil
ference of opinion on the subject.
“Had these edicts been propounded hj
old king Gander, there would have beei
the .payamoog the geese, am
such a hissing as was never heard before
But there is a vast difference between beinf
gpverned by a master and a slave. W«
see the proudest monarchs, and the mosi
self-willed tyrants, submitting to the wil
of a valet, or a gentleman usher, or any
other abject slave, when they *Would resisl
the will of their subjects on ell bccasions.
So with the people, and so it was with the
republic of the geese; they allowed them
selves to be cajoled on all occasions, and
laughed at the idea of (he possibility ol
having their chains riveted by their own
servants. So the married geese set to
work to lay their eggs according to law.
But nature is an obstinate devil, and there
is no legislating her into .reason. The
eggs and the goslings came into the world
just as they did before. The little gos
lings, contrary to law would be dabbling
in the water, and getting now and then
caught by the snapping turtles, and there
was no such thing as punishing the little
rogues after they were dead. In short, of
all these laws, there was but one which
actually went into operation, namely, that
for picking one half of the geese for the
benefit of the other half.
“ But it was never yet known that either
men or geese, were content with half a
loaf when they could get the whole. The
half of the republic of the geese, for whose
benefit the other half had been picked, in
process of time waxed fat, and strong, and
wealthy, while the other half had been
fleeced of a good half of their feathers for
the encouragement of domestic industry
waxed proportionally poor and meagre,
and their breast bones projected awfully,
like unto cut-waters. The fat geese, now
began to grumble that there was a great
want of patriotism in the rules of the gee
sian republic in not properly encouraging
domestic industry, since nothing was clear
er, than that if half a loaf was good, the
whole loaf was belter. So they petitioned
—and the petition of the strong is a de
mand—they petitioned that the geese who
bad lost half their feathei* for the public
good, should be called upon to yield the
other half like honest patriotic fellows.
The law was passed accordingly. But
public discontent is like a great bell, it takes
a long time in raising, but makes a mighty
noise when once up. The geese which
had been picked for the good of the repiib
lie, had chewed (he cud of their poverty in
silence, but they spit venom in private
among themselves; and this new law to
pluck themquite naked, brought affairs to a
crisis. In matters of legislation, wealth and
influence are every thing. But where it
comes to club law, or a resort to the right
of the strongest, poverty always carries the
day. The poor plucked geese accordingly
took back by force what they had been de
prived of by legislation, with interest; and
finding after a little while that it was neces
sary to have a head of some kind or other,
unanimously recall id old king Gsnder to
come and sleep over (hem again. He
reigned long and happily—poised himself
so nicely, by doing nothing and keeping
perfectly still, that In sat upright while the
wheel of fortune turned round under him,
and the occasional rocking of his kingdom
only made him sleep the sounder.”
MORAL.
“ Leave the people to manage tlieii pri
vate affairs in their own wayas much as
possible, without the interference of their
rulers. The worst of tyranny is that of
laws, making sudden and perpetual changes
in the value of properly and the wages of
labor, thus placing every man’s prosperity
at the mercy of others.”
AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE.
When, during the late war, Admiral
Warren was lying in the Chesapeake, Capt.
Smith was sent by Com. Stewa.-r, then at
Norfolk, to Negotiate an exchange of pri
soners. The news had just ar. of the cap
ture of the Java, and the Admiral, speak
ing of the event, asked Capt. S. how it hap
pened that our frigates were so successful
in taking theirs. Captain Smith answered
that he knew no reason for it, unless it was
that we fought better. ‘No,’ said the Ad
miral,‘(hat cannot be; but the reason is,
that two thirds of your crews are British
seamen.’ ‘Then,’ replied Captain Smith,
‘the other third being Ameiicans makes the
whole difference.’ The Admiral attempted
no further explanations or arguments on the
knotty subject.
We doubt if the records of wit can pro
duce a more happy repartee. It was prompt
and sharp, and, at the same time goes to the
very heart and marrow of the question. It
is one of those pushes that can be
parried nor returned. It closed ihfe b «aie ;
the Admiral had not another move.
