Ihe Cherokees.-A letter from John Ridge, one of the Cherokee delegation at Washington, to MT Bou- dinott, dated the 1lth January last of which the fol- lowing IS an extrad, was placed ill our hands day or two since, for publication The gentleman who presented it, IS of ndoubted responsibility. On his route from Tennessee to Georgia, the pamphlet all uded to below, wts given him for perusa on the outside sheet of which was the letter. which he took pains to copy. Mir Boudinott is believe, princi- pal editor of the Cherokee Phoenix:

 ''l have written longer letter to MT Ross on the subject, than my letter to you which presume you will sec. Also, letter to Major Ridge, before this, on our prospects, which you would do well to pub lish.a Prom private and public sources we are in duced to believe that Henry Clay is our friend, and will enforce the treaties.

 Bear up my friends for two years longer, and we are victorlous-let the people understand that Tell 1t to them and be not at ease because you have the advantage of hearing when they have not; now is the time to be up and doing. As soon as our memo rial is printed, will send it to you We have heard that New Jersey is on our side This argument of Mir Wirt, send to you, is not perfect it will be made, when a motion is made for writ of Injunc- ton. You must then fail not tofpulish it; but it can be made known to our people, all by friends. My heart IS with tem and it my earnest desire to them once more.happy; we must all be united as brothers"

 It would seem.fro the above, that the last hope of the Indians now rests on the election of Henry Clay to the next Presidency. Judging from present appearances this hope must be very faint one, or Mir Ridge is unacquainted with the public sentiment. Thus it is the Indians induced by ariful and in- sduous declarations from pretended ireuds abroad, or designing men among themselves, to hold on lit tie longer to their possessions The same has been pursued for years-the same false hopes have been held out, and often as the time has arrived for their accomplishment, they have been found il- lusory. What subterfuge will next be..resorted to, remains to be seen. We think, however, that the prospect of Henry Clays election to the Presidency, will nt take this time; and unless some inducement more attering than this is held out for them to main, we shall soon see them quietly emigrating to the territory provided for them by the bounty of the General Government-a country well adapted to their pursuits and the best calculated to promote their happiness.
