II appears from this extract that the writer is of the
Ridge, or treaty party OF Cherokees, who succeed
ed, some years ago. in disposing Of their lands in
Georgia and Alabama to the general government by
treaty. exchanging them for the present reservation
OF the tribe IN Arkansas This treaty and this re-
moval being effected in opposition to the will of
John Ross and portion of the tribe, has given rise
to the name OF the treaty party as contra. dstin-
gushed from antl-treaty, or Ross party. John Ross
still continuing de fRct0 the emperor of the whole
tribe, and the Jealousles from the original division
upon the question OF the treaty, being rather ncrea-
sed than diminished, will at once account for the
dissatisfaction of the treaty party under the govern
of ROsS. ROSa a of talent odncafou
and wealth, with sufficient cross of the Scotchman
In his veins, to give him material advantage in
tact and shrewdness over the unadulterated OF the
tribe. He has an interesting Anglo-Saxon, or Ame-
rican lady, tor wife, and his daughters have been
educated at seminaries of education among the first
in the country, One Of them, during the past sea;
son, was for time the most distinguished of all
the magnificent bellies at the Greenbriar White Sui
phur Springs, IN Virginia; and a certain young and
talented Virginian, "ardent as southern sun could
make him." became SO much enamored Of the
promise another treaty-a treaty of alliance, friend
ship, and annexation. The young Virginian, in the
fact OF his having tncture of the noble and prince
ly blood of the beautiful and glorious daughter of
old KING Powhatan in his arteries, renders the at
tachment, otherwise natural enough still more nat
ural plausible and romantic. We pray, in all defe-
renee, forgiveness Of the dark-eyed daughter of tho
Westn this her perhaps rather unceremonious intro
ducton to the public; but as to "the ardent young
Virginian, we have no apology to offer, fer we are
assured that he will feel foot taller in being





gaZele of the Cherokee nation. But faith, we are
being diverted by the fascination or those dark
eyes, from the main question under consideration.
The gentleman to whom the letter from which
we have made the foregoing extract was addressed,
has enclosed 1t to the President, accompanied by
another in his own hand, from which we extract as

The arrangement we suggested in a recent letter
published in the Herald appears to us as the most
advisable, Let the government purchase Of Texas
this Northeastern strip of her territory. The pur-
chase money Will assist In the payment OF her ma
onal debt-let these Cherokees be given this terri
tory In exchange for that which they now occupy in
Arkansas-let them continue under the protection
of the government, and from their position on the
frontiers of the Rocky Mountains they will effective
ly the government in the protection of our ad-
joining white settlements from the rruptions of the
Comanches, the Pawnees, the Arapanoes, and the
other wandering tribes of the Great American de-
sert. Whatever may be the merits or dement's of
John Ross, is scarcely possible that the parties
of the Cherokees can be made to live harmoniously
together by any governmental arrangement. Every
consideration, therefore, of policy and humanity,
seems to confirm the adoption of the plan as herein
recommended. We are assured that the President
will give the subject his early and attentive conside-
ration.
