It will he re collected there tvero two delegations sent on to 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 to a negotiation for the adjustment of the difficul ties, with every assurance that liberal terms would In* granted them, and negotiations were entered into between the Secretary of War aud theRPss delegation in which Mr. Ross aud tho Dele gation with him demanded twenty mi lions 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 iu the country who can stand their proximity to the white population amongst them, but the large mass of the Indian population cannot, aud arc becoming daily more impoverished aud de graded.

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. Wap. Dkpartmett. ) 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. C. A. HARRIS, Acting Secretary of War. .Messrs. V\ II.

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.

That a feeling of "tin.* kind actua 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
