Now that the excitement in the Cherokee Ma.
tion has partially subsidized. and our citizens have
time to reflect calmly upon matters, we would sug'
pesl thu. the " STAIRS either be apprehended and
given over to the proper Authorities or at least DO
driven from the State, where they are allowed 10
harbos, after their saes into the Nation TO COM
nit their depredations. That these men arc deep
ly died with murderous blood is beyond doubt,
and the scene Of their depredatons should not,
cannot pallio,o their offences, much less render
their stay within the limits Of the State proper or
just. Ii is duty our citizens owe to themselves
to assist in searching ou, and bringing to punish
ment all such offenders. No good man will make
common cause with such men; their crimes are
notorious. and their guilt beyond a reasonable
doubt, and ,ha, they should find shelter in the mds
Of law abiding people, when they ore pursued


for the commta Of the most inhumun and fend


ish marders, speaks but little for the character
our cilizcns. Some will ask why we have delay
ed thus long to call for their arrest or extermina
ton from the limits of the State, and say that they
have committed no rocen, crime, perhaps none
10 tho State. To such we would say, that until
the recent Disturbances in tho Nation, shoy confined
themselves to the Nation, and came into tho State
only in . secret manner; but now they openly live
in the State, regardless alike Of the laws of the
Cherokees and Whites. One Of the gang, Ellis
West. ussls,ed by some other ono Of the clan, we
believe, murdered in cold blood one, or more lndi.
ans, in Evansye about eighteen months since;
HE associate hed, and Wess i now sutsred 10 go
'uuvhppsd .of Jussics, IN shs very midst Of tn
cilizens whose laws ks has % 6agsantIy violated.


That there are soms who will say there is no
proof Of their guiIs, We are we'll aware; but that
our citizens should s,,iies men who would upon
opportunity commit the mos. diabocal deeds upon
any community, white. OF rsd, 10 remain in open
defiance Of all law, is unwise and inprudent.


They will prow around unit, maddensd by Il.
quor, or enruged in some other manner. they vii!
commit upon some good citizen, for all are in
danger, the samc crime for which they now fly
from the laws Of their own country, and then, and
we fenr not until then, citizens will their
error in not driving them off or arrestng them.


We would advise the Cherokee Agent to solicit
the aid Of our Governor in executing the laws,
and sure are we that he would not refuse prompt.
y to act, and al once rid US Of the stain, as we'll
the danger of their longer stay.
