THE CI-IEROKEES.
We are likely to have a war on our hands
without going to Oregon or the Rio del
Norteto seek it. The Cherokees are on the
brink of on intestine struggle. in which_ our
Government is preparing to embroil itself.
Indeed. there cannot be a war without our
aid. as the weaker party dare not_ and the
stronger need not resort to hostilities. Let
us explain: _
~Over 20 years ago. our Government bri-
bed some Cherokee Chiefs to sign a_ Treaty
surrendering. a large portion of their lands
in Georgia. Alabama. &-c. These Chiefs
betrayed their trusts in so doing.and the fore-
. ,-most among them were put to death for it.
Built part of the nation did about that time
-. agree to remove \Vest on certain conditions.
and departed. Several years afterward. our
Government, by the most execrable perfidy
and tyranny. compelled the remainder ofthe
Nation to emigrate on pain of extermination.
These were sent by us to the same territory
-on which the "v'v'hes(;egn Cl;eroke:ies.' Tclilr pre-
vious emigrants a ecu ocate . SW0
parties were known to be at deadly feud, yet
' here they were expected to occupy thelsalme
lands and form one harmonious peop e
The result has been what must have beep
anticipated. The ‘Ross party’ or latest emi-
grants, form a large majority of the Whole.
and carry matters with a high band. regar-
. ding the Ridge party. or first emigrants. as
the authors of their humiliation and exile.-
Thus the original emigrants find themselves
.treated as aliens -and culprits on the soil
which they fondly deemed their -ow.n. by

an t en ecause t ey must. ence come
-heart-burnings. feuds. collisions, which ob-
struct the moral and intellectual improve-
ment ..of the people and threaten a desolating
_ civil war. ~ ‘
'I‘he cause of all this mischief and misery
is to be found in the criminal recklessness of
our ‘Government. The removal of the
Cherokees was consummated in defiance of
-every dictate of foresight or justice. And
now we are about to violate all our late en-
acrements. as we have alread violated all

our older treaties. by interfereing in the
troubles we have provoked and utterly sub-

sworn to maintain. Thus one wrong leads

The Unicorn Discover-ed.—-A rece.ntnurri-
her of the ‘Journal Asiatique’ (published in
Paris) states that Mr. Fresnel, the profound
Orientalist.-now French Consul at Jedda. in
-.Arabia.-has.publishsd a notice of the exis-
tence ofthe real Unicorn in the wilds of
Hadrainantl This strange beast has a sin-
gle horn attached to its head by a joint. thro’
- which it can elevate or depress its horn at
pleasure; remarkably confirming Psalm
92, 10. where it speaks of the ‘horn being
exalted like the horn of the Unicorn.’

Mr. Archer moved that the Report of the

The Chair stated that the question would
be directly on the joint resolution of the

those resolutions indefinitely. .
Mr. Morehead then spoke an hour and a
halfagainst the measure. and with much a-
bility and effect.

A most foul and cold bloodptl murder took;
place in New Haven on Sunday evening the:
9ill. Lucius I’. Osborn ii respectable more
quarricr was found dead and frozen. on Monday
morning in ilie nr-ighbcrhooil of the Ra.'il- _Roadt'
depot. uiih evidcui marks of violence upon the
fiend. Circumstances led to the arrest of la
fellow by the name of _A0tlf€'ii‘ I’. Potter. the
son ofa respectable farmer of Ijlairiden. Strong;
evidence of his panic-ipaiion in lllf‘ murder ap-
pearrd in the fact ofhis having the gold watch;
of0sborn Putter has since niade it full Con--
ft-ssiou of the CIfCUInSl£ll)(.‘t’.'i, of the murder.
The follow ing is the confession as published! in
the Palladium.
The gold wat:h referred to. was mined
by Osborn, and was loam-d in Putter. wills»
whom Osborn had worked fr r his (l’ott‘i-r's)-i
f-the.-r and others. This watch he gave to:
his iuulatto mistress. Miitilda Petr.-c soy. a
boarder at Charles Coe’s hiuse, near il:e.-
head of Long Wharf. Through the advice-
(f Pouer 3 fathr-I, who was itlway-"s ii friend to-
Osborn. he solicited of Potter the riturn of
his watch and itappears that either the girl,
Pomeroy. would not give it up.gr he wished
her to retain it. and was then tempt:-d to con-
trive zi mode of doing so successfully. and. it
seems that he could see no betteir plan than
that of murdering the oicnsr!” I‘-t frppeoI’s=
