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. RWAP JStfBA TOBOT (PCMSWO-J*.

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 like Best to wear; If about any occur rence, tell what you did when so situ ated—you will he disliked. Compar* ative Degree.-—To the practice of talk ing of yourself, add enough vanity td rhake it apparent that you think your? self and what you do of vaist conse quence—you will be despised. &u* perlative Degree.—To both the above, add a haughty air of contempt foe those with whom you converse. Let it b* manifest that you lopk down up on them as weak and insignificant compared with yourself—you will be abhorred.—Boston Rec. fy Tel. Constantinople.—The capital of the Ottoman empire, where our Ambas sadors smoke, drink coffee, and dance- at the most splendid balls in the world, is exteriorly the most beautiful city oil earth. It is looking upon a magic scene to view it in the morning from the water. The sun, rising on the right behind the Asiatic hills, throw* an inconceivable brilliancy over the sea, which, bounded on every side by* verdant shores, heaves like a mass of molten gold beneath its beam*. On both sides, green meadows and tufted groves refresh and gladden the eye.-—. And the city itself, with its brilliant many-colored mosques, its gardens, it* cemeteries, where the evergreen cy* press flourishes, and its lofty aerial minarets towering over its Mussulman temples, glitters like a fairy creation
