know who the informant of the Editor is, nor by
what means he has conte to the above informa
tion: but 1 dp know ho has been grossly imposed
upon in the account he has received. It will he re

Washington last winter, both of whom arrived at
an early day of the session of Congrcs , one com
posed of John Ross, Samuel Gunter, Richard
Taylor. W illiam Rogers, oud Daniel McCoy, the
oilier of Joint Ridge, Elias Bonditiot, t,vo of the
Wests, Samuel Bell, and Archilla Smith, how
can it then he propetlysaid that “Mr. John Ross
is the unit authorised agent of the Cherokees.”
I presume the other four who belonged to the same
delegation, will uot consider themselves much flat
tered by such a statement, it is a matter also of
public notoriety that twp other delegations were
sent on to Washington for the purpose of urging
upon Mr Ross, & those who were there, the neces
sity of an arrangement of their difficulties; and so!
far from a refusal to treat with Mr. Ross, the con ‘
trary is kiiown to he the fact by evory person
who was at Washington city last winter, who
had auy knowledge about the matter at all. Mr
Ross aud the delegation were invited to enter in

into between the Secretary of War aud theRPss
delegation in which Mr. Ross aud tho Dele

of dollars, as the price of their lauds and country.
Upon the refusal of the department to give that
sum. Air. Ross aud the delegation with him vol
untarily proposed to leave tho adjustment of tho
considsration to the Senate, and promised in writ
ing signed by the entire delegation, to take what
ever sum tho Scnato should name, aud to cuter
into a contract founded upon that basis and re
commend the same to the Cherokees. Tho
sum of five millions of dollars was adjudged hv
the Senate as a full equivalent, nttd Mr. Russ
and the delegation who acted with him, were a-
gaitt invited to enter into a treaty- and it was
not until they neglected to do so, and mast if not
all of that delegation, had left Washington; that
the treaty was entered into with Ridgeand those
who were wuh him. The assertion that the
President refused to let Mr. Ross have auy lltittg
to do with the contract is a mistake—this treaty
has been published, and its liberal conditions
h ive been acknowledged by all, aud uo objection
can be set up against it on the grounJ of its" he
ing made with ltidge from prejudice on the part
of the President to Ross; if therefore the on'y
difficulty is a matter of feeling as the Editor says
lie understands it is. there is uot the least foun
dation for the objection, and I can couceivo of uo
other. Under these circumstance*, will it be
wise iu the Cherokees to reject this offer and
thereby prolong their difficulties, and increase
their embarrassments? It is true there aro many

UNION CONVENTION.
Delegates from the Union party all over the
State were to have assembled in Convention at
Miiledgeville yesterday. We presume they did
so assemble, aud that a full and respectable Con
vention was present. As we have an agent on
the spot, we expect to bo able to give in our next
a brief synopsis of their proceedings.
Wo trust this will be in truth and in fact, as
well as in name, a Union Convention—that har
mony and unanimity will prevail—that all dis
sensions will he healed, and that all diversity of
opinion will be reconciled throughout the entire
party.
Members of the party who have the public
good at heart, will not dissent from the wishes of
a majority, whatever may be their private opin
ions. whenever those wishes aro correctly and
fairly ascertained. And this can bn done with
out auy lack of firmness or independence. As iu
every system, each part must contribute some
thing for tbo support of the whole, so in societies
every individual member must make some sacri
fice for tiie general good of the whole. All as
sociations must havo their foundation iu mutual
compromise and concession ; without which,
communities and parties, corporations & states,
would soon be reduced to theiT original elements,
and all mankind to a state ot nature and savage-
ism.
There never was greater need of concession
and conciliation in our partj’. titan at the present
moment; to effect which is tho object of the pre
sent Convention. Disseusions of an alarming
character had crept in among us; many indi
viduals had suffered their feelings to he wrought
up to a high stato of excitement—jealousies had
been awakened—new estrangements made—and
old grudges reuewed,.until an entire dissolution
of tho late prosperous and united Union party
was threatened. This state of things was increa
sed by tho lukowaraiucss and indecision of cer
tain of our leading men, as well as by the dicta
tion and overbearingness of others—from which
tho most disastrous consequences were to be fea
red.
I dictates. No slave is so much under the control
of his master, as are tho Cherokees under the
control of their head meu.

May 25,1835. y
Gentlemen—I have received, and laid before
the President, your letter of the Kith instant.
He has instructed me to authorise you to an
nounce publicly to the Cherokees, that no propo
sitions for a treaty will hereafter be made, more
favorable than those now offered to them. The
sum of five millions of dollars was fixed upon by
the Senate, as an ample equivalent for the relin
quishment of all their rights and possessions in
Georgia, and other States east of the Mississippi.
The whole subjeci was fully considered, before
tltis price was determined. Mr- Ross aud his as
sociates had daily opportunities of expressing their
own views to the Committee, and to other Sena
tors verbally audio writing. He himself propos
ed that the adjustment ofthe consideration should
be left to the Senate ; aud be voluntarily bound
himself to accept the sum thev might name.
" hett under consideration in tho Senate, there
were members of that body watchful for his inte
rests, and prompt to adduce every argument mi
h's favor. That treaty has been published, and
its liberal conditions have been everywhere ack
nowledged.
fllost .assuredly the President will not. under
these circumstances, sanction auy expectation
that more favorable arrangements will he held
out to the Cherokees. So far from this, lie has
instructed me to say that the present is the last
proposition he will make to them while ho remains
in office ; and they must abide the consequences
of its rejection. Nor will it be wise or safe for
them to anticipate that either branch of the Gov
ernment will be disposed to do more for them.
1 he Commissioners have Leen' authorised to
vary the nature of some ofthe stipulations, if oth
ers would be more agreeable to the Cherokees.
Rut. they have not, and they will not, be au
thorised to offer one dollar more than the five mil-*
lions, advised by the Senate.
Very, &c.

FOB THE GEORGIA TELEOIIAPH.
Mr. Editor:—Iu your paper of the 18thinn.
Brutus has agau made his appearance, rather in
au angry tone, tbe result no doubt of gloom m4
despondency, inspired by the waning popnlaritt
of his favorite. Judge White. For it iiiu-t U
manifest to Brutus and bis coadjutors, ih.u Judge
White cannot be forced upon the Union partj.
and th't their uuincasured auusc of Mr. Van Hu-
reu without siistniiiiugone allegation iu the whole
catalogue oferimes aud misdemeanors, tends on ,-e
and more to his elevation. One of the ubbits
’rails of our nature is sympathy. Hence wefiic.
iu all virtuous and enlightenedcomomnitin whs
the character of an iitoeeu! man is wantonly tn-
-doced and assailed, a redeeming spirit is iuvctal,
aud the individual thus sought to he sacrificed, be-
comes the object of popular regard. This prin
ciple has b«eu clearly demonstrated in Mr. Vss
Buren : for without soliciting public favors, rior-
i"g on in tbe gcutlc tenor of his way, he hat
been rdhdered the most conspicuous ra;in in .tl.f
nation, by tbe uutiriug abuse and persecution*!
the u r reat political Raders of the opposition.—
Such a reckless course towards any individnil,
could not fail to excite the liveliest interest in his
bebalf. Brutus atul his coadjutors are cxiriradi
illiberal; tin y are not disposed to do a politic*' - !
opponent common justice, hut view ail itis acts
through a false medium. Consequently they are
not disposed to give .Mr. Van Buren credit fer
any of his patriotic deeds such as the support and
atd he,rendered Mr. Madison in the dark period
of his administration, when all the Federal phal
anx front .Maine to Georgia was arrayed against
him. Nor (lo they give him any credit lort'-e
success which has attended the whole of his ef
forts iu sustaining the wise measures of Andrew
Jackson which has resulted iu the defeat of the
most formidable enemies to th- liberties of the
peeple, to wit the Bank aud Nullification. Tal
bot* feels no disposition to assail the chaivcurcf
Judge M bite hui nill cheerfullv accord to him
the meed of praise for all the devotion and patri
otic zeal whi h he must have felt when sustaining
the present administration in ;hc war waged
against the United States Bank and Nullification.
But the suhsequert - conduct ofthe Judge has
thrown a dark veil over bis hitherto brillnut na-
reci; ho no longer reg-t.-!» the counsels of his oid
friends; but yielding t*. the flattery of some and
the ambitious, aspirations of his own breast ho
was soon made to play a conspicuous [tart*in the
grand project of breaking down the Union or
Democratic party: If Judge White had not a-
postatized from the poli.'ira! orthodoxy of An
drew Jackson, how could lie be supported now
by the Antics when not mote than a year ntid a
half ago they preferred Poitidexterto preside over
tho most dignified body in the world. If
White w (is not qualified for that .itatidi whowvuH
for a moment dream ofelevutiug him to the chief
magistracy of the nation Nor cau any ratinnsl
man suppose that flay ami tbe Bank won (i si;p-
port Judge White util* s S they k*ie" hi would a-
bnndon the policy of tho prest nt Administration
and form the lino of Demarcation that wns ilrtun
before the adjournment of-Congress. It is ronni-
fesi to my miud that Judge White gave in Ids
adhesion to the \i L:g nullification party am hi*
friends w lio prefer principles to meu gave him tip-
Tho allusion made by Brutus to Talbots defeat aud
disappointment tails to affect him in the slightest
degree since it i* t lie common lot of man in every
station and the virtuous aud intelligent are > lul
exempt from its oper tiou. That Talbot was :l
little surprised to leant that lie was destitute
af iiu!r|" ndence. this discoverv Brutos i- cu'.ided

ted Brutus in the support he has given Juejn
White, Talbot will not insinuate, knowing the
long cherished prejudice of Brutus against Vau
Buren which subsequent developemeiiK
will no doub • eradicate. In entering the politic
al arena, it wns not the design of Talbni to as
sail the feelings of any who might differ with him;
foi an honest difference of opinion Talbot a 1 ',
ever tolerate; and should any allusion made to
BrutD9 or Cato have inflicted a wound, it
