The late Disturbances in the Cherokee Naiion.-
Our Course.--We have been informed that stc
ries are in calculation in regard to our course in
the late Cherokee Disturbances, circulated to
prejudice one of the parties against us, and which
nre entirely without foundation. II is reported
we arc informed, the, this paper has enlisted in
tie cause Of the "Old Settler" and Treaty q"
.,sas ',vn. oiuin II VIII uuyucule their
claims. Tint such stories are untrue, every re.
fleeing man will at once perceive, by reference
10 tho course Of the paper under its prcsen, con
ductors.


In speaking Of Cherokee affairs, we have evel
refrained from giving anything Ikea party colour.
ing to our thoughts, nnd simply related facts MS


they occurred, or wero told tous.


The present, tho Junior Editor, who has been
in the establishment sine its commencement in
some capacity or other, has ever recommended
neutral and silent course in regard to Cherokee
nffaIrs; and in the summer of 1913, when almost
every week. there appeared an article on the Che.
rokee difficulties, he was the frs. to censuro Tho
course af}he paper, and to recommend discon.
,nuence ofthe articles referredto. And i, is well
'tnowu that he first recommended Nh. GEo. W.
cLAnxs to The proprietor and publisher :, as suis,
able person to conduc. the paper. And during
the publication Of the paper by Mr.. Clarke bo fire..

IL has been our aim 10 mako the Intellipcncor
useful 10 the Cherokees, and so far from taking
any side we can say that we are ignoran, of tho
true merits of tho difficulties in the Nation, and
In order to avoid Partially, have ever refused to

wher" they wara the tonic of conversation !, nm,
company in which we happened to be, we never
expressed an opinion as 10 the Justice or Injustice
Of the course Of the different parties, thinking
that the whites hal no business TO medde in af.
fairs which did not, and could not concern them,


That there are many whites who take sides
with one or the other party, is well known; and
that 1t has ever proved injurious to them none will
deny; but that We havo ever countena need or al.
sised such interference is wholly untrue.


Since the lntcgenccr passed into tho hands ofI
its present conductors many communications in |
regard TO their difficulties have been handed in,
andhave invariably been refused admission 10 its



In recommending the suppression of the late
disturbances, We did it with the best feelings
for beth parties, well aware that it could benefit
neither, but would injure both; and also knowing
'"a' there were white men who favored both par.
'es '"a' would upon any reasonable preext, take
SIDES with their favorites, and thus perhaps bring

Tint we have over favored either party is an
