correspondent of the Express, dating trora
Washington, has referred 10 the appeal OF Inc
remnant OF the Ridge party of the Cherokee Ma
ton in such terms as 10 induce those who are un-
acquainted with the origin of the difference between
John Ross and the opposing faction, TO form an
erroneous opinion Of that Chief and his adherents
The letter-wrter alleges that John Ross has pro-
posed cruel laws and administered them with un-
necessary severity. This Is not true Tor though 1t
be notorious that Clique have been plotting treason
against the nation since its removal to the West,
no punishment has been inflicted for any political
offence Boudinot and the Ridges, who suffered
the penalty Of law proposed by the first named
Chief, and few murderers, are the only persons
who have suffered death within their jurisdiction
since 1876.


Its alleged that John Ross denies the right Of
the United States 10 interfere in their domestic
policy He is right in doing So For the principal
nducement held out TO the Cherokees TO remove
West, was the pledge that in their new home they
would be out of the reach Of State jurisdiction, and
that the United States would let them alone-that
there would be no preteXt in future for interfering
with them. A pledge TO this effect was made long
ago, and frequently violated, but never in so bare
faced manner as by the Administration Of The last
President and that of the present incumbent.


A law does exist awarding The penalty OF death 10
any one who shall ALLEVIATE any portion OF the
Cherokee domain; but this law did not originate
with John Ross or his party, having been proposed
by Boudno,, and passed twenty years ago al a
Council held at New Echola in Georgia. 1t is re-
markabe that Tor violation oil this law It's author
suffered death.


The only Cherokee Chief who has violated any
par, Of Mexico or had any intercourse with the
Mexican Government since 1929 was Bowles, killed
by the Texans as a marauder and bandit in 1898.


To sum the whole affair up in few words: the
remonsrance is the development of plan formed
by few half-breeds and traders or rum.dealers TO
get possession Of the National Treasury, and they
oppose John Ross because he is too keen-witted TO
be deceived and too homes, TO pander 10 their Gu
pidity.
