lege. These organizations arc entirely
distinct in their operations and enterpri
ses, and have no more relation to each
other than those of one State of the Union
hare with any other. Thus the Cherokee
Baptist College is the educational interest
of thc Baptist denomination of upwards of
— counties of Georgia, comprising nine
large Associations—thc Coosa, Middle
Cherokee, Hightqwer, Tallapoosa, Ellijay,
Oostanaula, Abacoochee, State Line, and
Noonday, or upwards of 300 churches and
their congregations. And no patronage
or aid given by the State to any other
College in the State will be availing to
this section of the denomination, except it
be procured by a forfeiture of interest in
the Cherokee Baptist College.
Thirdly : If the State would promote
learning by rendering patronage for its
cultivation and diffusion in a section of
her government where the people are un
able to. provide it themselves without re
ceiving aid, and yet thc population is ex
tensive enough to demand its institution,
the Cherokee Baptist College has claims
even.greater than any other College of the
State.
There is no other College in the State
which meets the wants of Cherokee Geor
gia. The latest of the other Colleges was
founded in 1838. It was located in Low
er Georgia. Cherokee Georgia was then
a wilderness, the Indians’ hunting ground.
