The trial of Jacob West, John West. and Ogcese (or
Augustus) Choteau, for the murder Of Isaac Busbv
head. and an attempt upon the life Of D. Vann viii,
commence next week. in the Saline District. Cherokee
Nation. We wait to hear the result. 1t is feared
by many upon our frontier that difficulties will arise
out OF this trial. that tho friends Of the defendants will


not permit them to be hanged if they are convicted
We apprehend no difficulty about the matter. The pr
soners will have fair ring under the laws of the
Nation, they will be tried before jury of their coun
trymen and with the benefit of counsel. 1t is highly
probable that under existing circumstances they will


be acquitted-but if they not, there are too many
supporters of the laws and dignity of the Cherokee Ma
tion among its citizens, to permit such treasona BIZ
and ebelious act to be committed within its limits
