Mr. Boudinott,—A report hag
lately come to my knowledge, that 1
have been censured for some expres
sions in a communication published in
the Cherokee Phoenix which was at
tributed to me. I do not knaiv what
communication was referred to, but
am certain it was not any of which I
was the author. 1 have-nevei writ-*
ten for the Phmnix, on any subject
connected with the political concerns
of the Chcrolfees, or relating to I ho
contest between them and the state
ol Georgia, or to the conduct of that
stdte, or its officers, or of the ruler*
of the United Slates, or relating to
thff removal of the Indians, a single
sentence, which has Dot had annexed
to itsjmy own proper name, S. A.
Worcester, in print, at full length.
1 lake this opportunity i 0 notice a-
report which I know to be in exten- M
sive circulation, that I am the real *
editor of ihe Cherokee Phoenix. You
will bear me witness, that I hnvo
nejer written, of the matter publish
ed as editorial in your paper, any
thing except now and then a notice of
your absence, when that circiimstiim-e
has occured. a single notice of » re
port of nows Miffo came to this place
in your absence, and a single mar
ginal note; the whole not amounting,
1 am c onfident, if all p/inted togeth

length.
While I am writing, permit nio
to allude to a remark which you
made in a late numNfer, respecting
the state of my family; viz. that I
could not, on that account, havb
possibly removed at any time since
ihe law requiring my •removal was
enacted. The remark was perfectly
egrrect, veil ought, perhaps, in jus-
