COMMIT ICATlOiVS,
FOR THE CHEROKEE PHOENIX.
To the people of the Cherokee Nation.
Fellow Citizens:
In about three months hence,
you will be called upon by the consti
tution of your country, to exercise a
privilege of great importance to your
selves, and to your couulry. Yes, a
privilege which all free people should
justly appreciate, & on the exercise of
which depends our future prosperity,
under an enlightened form ofsgovern-
ment; such an one as we have lately
adopted for our guide.
The welfare of our country should
be the order of the day with all who
have the interest of their native land at
heart. Our nation, as a political
body, has reached an important crisis,
and bids fair for rapid progress in the
path of civilization, the arts and sci
ences; while at the same time we
can say with no ordinary degree of ex
ultation, that agriculture is gradually
gaining an ascend n y aaiong t us e-
quaiied by no other Indian Tribe. But,
after all, in comparing our past diffi
culties, the danger which our nation
has escaped, w r ith our present condi
tion, we have many sources of true re
gret, which may yet prove detrimen
tal, to our future prosperity/ And it
is but just to ourselves and to our
country,, to endeavor to maintain the
eminence we have attained to. The
course to be pursued should now at
tract the serious consideration of the
people. And may I take the liberty
to suggest the course to be pursued
for your consideration? As we have
put our hands to the plough, and as
the art of Legislation is little under
stood by a majority of this nation,
great care should be taken, how we
manage our political engiue; lest we
should be compelled to renounce for
ever, all hopes of ever enjoying the
fruits of the promised land.
1st. On the first Monday in next
August, will be our general election
day, and on that day, you will have
to put into action the prerogative
vested in you, by the constitution, the
exercise of which should be carefully
and judiciously handled.
2d. In this duty, in which you will
have to select persons- to represent
your wishes in the general Council of
the nation, be careful that you choose
men of unshaken firmness-, good friends
to their country, and judicious in all
that may devolve on them to perform.
3d. The Committee should be com
posed of men of education, and good
knowledge in the affairs of our nation;
ivbMp the Council should he composed
of full blooded Cherokees, known for
lovft of their country, the land of their
forefathers, and also celebrated for
their good natural sense, justice and
firmne^. If then, vOe be combined
by one common interest, having one
object, the preservation of ourselves
as a free and sovereign people, ob-
servingWrictly our relations with the
United States, with whom alone we
are cornected by solemn treaties,
(with b t one exception,) and as long
as we r<main just, and firm as a nation,
we nee not dread the threatning as
pects o the time. By this judicious
course n the regulation of our inter
nal affsF.'SpWc may avert the fulfil
ment of the opinion of some, who
have ventured to predict, that we will
fall from our present -condition, or in
other words, that we cannot maintain
our political situation, because, say
they, we are overreaching ourselves
in-adopting an enlightened form of go
vernment. It is true we have made
bold stride* to attain to our present
elevation,—-an elevation which no oth
er Indian tribe ever enjoyed,—an el
evation, to maintain which, and pre
serve with dignity and honour to our
Country, our utmost energy should be
employed. Notwithstanding that we
are surrounded with many difficulties
of various kinds, it is a matter of great
encouragement, amidst the evils which
threaten our tranquility, we hear now
and then a voice, advocating the claims
of justice, humanity and innocence.
The vvl iter does not wish to be un
derstood as arrogating to himself the
right of dictating, but he claims only
the privilege of suggesting to his fel
low citizens, that they may be on the
watch tdteer on the lookout. At the
same time the writer is in hopes, that
by this feeble effort to call the atten
tion o'ffie people at large, some oth
er perso|i more able, may be induced
to point put a more efficient course to
be pursufed. As a citizen, I must beg
your indulgence for these lines, actu
ated as ill is only by the zeal I feel
for my country’s-welfare.
| UTALETAH.
TOR t-HF, CHEROKEE PHOSNIX.
Mr. Etir roa:—It is with some re
luctance l appear, a second time in the
field of political controversy, from the
consideration, that much has already
been said to but little profit, either
by myself, or “ A Cherokee.” I
shall endeavor, in' this communication
to divest myself of “categonchl fire,”
and “ annihilating sarcasms,” of which
my opponent accuses me of bein'* so
“plenary;” and to bring forth some
thing, besides long laboured sentences,
and sharp acrimonies.
“A Cherokee” tells us, his re-ap-
pearance is by way of reinforcement
of the position which he had taken;
that is to say, the Council and their
Treasurer had abandoned principles.
In what does abandonment consist?
In forsaking that which has real ex
istence, and legal obligation over us.
Now as the principles in the Constitu
tion exist only in theory, there can be
no abandonment, consequently his posi
tion is erroneous.
As the members of the Council of
1827 were acting under the then ex
isting laws and usages, which were le
gally binding on them, they were per
fectly justifiable in electing their for
mer Treasner. If the election of
Jno. Martin Treasurer be an abandon
ment. of prin- iple, at which the Che
rokee so much stickles, l should like
to know, to what extent the late Pre
sident of the Committee exerted his
influence to prevent the election.—
Did he, with a true patriotic spirit,
exclaim against the proceeding, and
advise that another candidate should
be substituted? Or was he asleep on
the watch tower?
The members of the General Coun
cil who were in the Convention were
in the ratio of (not more than) five to
fifteen. Now is it not unreasonable
to suppose, so small a minority could
control, in an election, such an over
whelming majority. But this minori
ty voted for John Martin. “ A Chero
kee” says. Admitted. And if they had
voted for his opponent, the very same
result is obvious, as he was President
of the Committee. It will avail noth
ing to say, he resigned his office, for it
is on indubitable fact, without any
formal election thereafter he re-as
sumed the Presidency, and continued
there until tire adjournment of the
Council.
As there is no legal eompnlsion to
concentrate the offices of the Govern
ment at New Echota, the whole drift
of his arguments seems to converge to
this point. I live at Echota, I am with
out an offi-r. therefore elect me Treasur
er. If this is not an abandonment of
principle, occasioned by emolument
of office, is it not, to say the least,
self elevation, and prostration of de
corum? # Truth cannot be offended by
a definition: and those who tolerate to
themselves the right of exposing to
public censure, by careless declama
tion, the transactions of other men,
should never be over-scrupulous of a
like exposure. “A Cherokee” has
made the following quotation to prove
the right of the Council to destroy the
Constitution. “ The principles to be
adopted by the Convention in the Con
stitution, shall not go to destroy the
rights and liberties of the Cherokee
people,” But he has cunningly omit
ted the provision in the same resolu-
tipn, viz: “Nothing shall be so con
strued in this last clause, as to in
validate, nor prevent the Constitution
from going into effect, afteT the afmjc-
said next General Council.” Byflii^
provision the sovereignty of the Coun4,
cil, was vested in the Convention, for '
the purpose of establishing a Consti
tution, under restriction, that they
should not adopt principles which
would go to destroy the rights and li
berties of the people. That the Con
vention originated in the Council, is a
fact. But it was effected by the peo
ple. If they had not voted for mem
bers, there would have been no Con
vention: and by an election of mem
bers to a Convention, for the avowed
purpose of establishing a Constitution,
the people also transferred their sov
ereignty to that body, and a tacit Im
plied compact bound the people to be
governed W the principles adopted,
which were to be valid to # all intents
and purposes; unless altered by their
own regulations.
If the Council of 1827 could have
assumed the' right of rejecting the
Constitution, those same members
who edmposed that Council, will have
the same right to come forward next
October, turn the new members out
of doors, and proceed to legislation.
I was informed a few day’s ago by
a gentleman who ranks high in this
country, for his acquirements, and who
was in the Convention, and in the
Committee, whose name however I
feel top much delicacy to use here
without permission, “that the Consti
tution was read, and explained in
Cherokee to the members of the Gen
eral Council, and no right of rejecting
was exercised, for they could assume
none.” During the sitting of the Con
vention, I heard several intelligent
members declare the sovereignty vest
ed in that body, for the express purpose
of establishing a constitution, to be
higher than it would be in the Coun
cil following. Therefore my position is
not a “fangled chimera,” first bro’t in
to existence, by me nor will it be found
that I am its only supporter; and I pre
sume, upon due reflection, my adver
sary will find something more in my
reasoning, than mere “sophistry.”—
Quotations were made in the first
communication of “A Cherokee” to
prove the Constitution was in opera
tive force. But now he disclaims a-
ny farther maintenance of that point.
Why is this contrariety in faith so
soon exhibited? This spirit of retro
grade? Does it not argue an instabili
ty of mind, ©r lordly disposition to es
tablish certain principles which he
himself did not fairly comprehend. I
shall not pretend to notice, minutely,
all his turgid remarks, for I confess I
am at a loss to find constructions for
some of his phrases.
I am aware Mr. Editor, that “A
Cherokee’s” favorite topic of discus
sion, is becoming wearisome, and
doubtless disgusting to some of your
readers. 1 have therefore determin
ed that the controversy on my part
shall end with this communication.—
But if he thinks the subject has not
been handled with sufficient gravity,
he has all the room given him in the
world to handle it better.
MARSHALL.
We earnestly request that this controver
sy may cease.—Ed.

FATAL EFFECTS OF EXTRAS
ORDINARY JOY.
In the year 1797, wheB a Btagnatioa-
took place, owing to the war with
France, a young man in Dunfermline,
a flax dresser, entered his Majesty’s
navy at Bolness. Upon his arrival at
Spithcad, he happened to be put 00
board the sfhip of Admiral Cochrane,
a brave and generous commander.
The Admiral from some cause or oth
er, took a liking to the young man and
exalted him step by step, till-at last
he was promoted to be the prize-mas
ter of the fleet. In this situation he
accumulated 50,0001. This sum was
transmitted to Edinburgh, and depos
ited in the Royal Bank of Scotland.
At the same time the flax-dresscr
wrote to hi* former employers in Dun
fermline, to desire his father to pur
chase an estate to the amount of the
above sum, and as near to his native
place as possible. The old man wa$
sent for, and too hastily acquainted
with the affluent circumstances of his
son. The effect was fatal. Trw
sudden tide of joy rushed with such
impetuosity upon him, that he stood
motionless; his eyes expanded, his nos
trils dilated, his mouth open, like the
picture of horror. At last he fell in
sensible on the floor, never spoke
more, and expired in the course of d
few days.—Liverpool Jldvcrlis&r.
How to be disagreeable.—Positive-
Degree.—Talk constantly of yourself
and your own affairs. Every man
likes to have the conversation about
himself, and is dissatisfied when yod
keep.it upon your own. Myself is al
ways a very interesting topic. Your
self the topic of least interest on earth.
If then you would wish to be disagree
able, contrive to talk constantly of
yourself. If the conversation is a-
bout children, tell how good yours
are; If about clothes, tell what you
