Times," in', saving that" evervi friend of Zachary Taylor, in the U. States, will say that his letter accept ing the nomination of the Whig Con vention, is exactly what, it should be. Brief, pertinent, modest, it is emin ently appropriate "to, the occasion, and with , its. 'four admirable para graphs, is a, far stronger. "appeal to an holiest and intelligetit people, than columns 'of suchj'self-exaltingr argu mentation,. as conslituesthe staple of Gen. Cass's .letter of-acceptance. It contains no insincere pledge to tarry-out a string of principles directly in conflict with the public career of the author. It'nssumcs no humilia ting obligation to observe the policy of the Democrat ic' Presidents, , and regards nbt'such observance as. the best claim to 'the favorable consid eration of the country"' It recounts not, in furthcrf advancement of the writer's pretensions, his forty years of services rendered thts country, altho' it. might haye done so with signal truth. And, lastly, it-throws no in- juri6us and slanderous stigma upon a large body ofthe people, falsely -accusing them of doubting the capacity of "man for self-government, and therefore of treason i n their hearts ."to our Republican institutions. . General Taylor's letter is the hon est and patriotic response from his bosom to .the high - honor conferred upon him by the Wh'g National Con vention. ; Like all truly great men, he feels serious distrust of his own abilities; but his countrymen will not allow him to be the "judge in that matter. They believe that he meets every requisition' by the old republi can standard," and that Jas President of the United States, he will, prove himself to -be. "honest, capable and faithful to the Constitution." 1 - 3.

And be it further enac, rf,'That whenever, hcrcaOer, at' individual or individuals of said Cher, oke'o Indians, "sliall desire to'remoV and join, the tribe-west "of the Mis sissippi, then the. Sccrctan'-of Wat shall be authorized to withdraw froni j the fund set apart as aforesaid, "the; ;j sum offifty-three dollars -and thirty-i three cents, and the interest" due, aiuh' unpaid thereon, and apply the same,i ; or such part thereof as shall be ne- , j cessary,to the removal and' subsis- fence of. such individual or individ- j j Jia-1-SL.andpay the, remainder, if any, " Or the whole, if the said Indian or ,J ! any of them shall prefer fo-remove , ' themselves, to such individuals or ; heads of families, upon their -removal ! wct of the Mississippi; Proviardf That the amount herein required, to be funded for the benefit ofthe fa id Chcrokees in North Carolina, and the ' amount required to be paid them, 1 shall be charged to the General Cher- ! okce Fund, under the treaty of New, Eehota, and shall be reimbursed j therefrom." 1 j It-wilL be seen, that. according to l the-provisions of this Act, each Indi- an in the Stateof North Carolina, is . . j to he paid 'immediately, the sum of r j nearly forty dollars, as interest al- .. ready -accrued. .. In addition to this, . the sum of fiftv-fhrce dollars and thir- . . ty-tlfree center Is set apart at .interest in the treasury tof)e paid him on his removal west of -the 'Mississippi. " The. whole number of Indians re maining in North Carolina, has been reported heretofore to the War De- partment at elcvehundred; so that the whole sum pajable now, as prin- cipal and interest, exceeds one hun drcd thousand dollars. Under the i provisions oC this .Act; such Indians as are desirous of joining the tribe' West of the "Mississippi", have the ; means afforded them, inasmuch as the -amount paid ' them now, as interest, is more than sufficient to defray the expenses, incident to their removal, while, the certainty, of receiving the principal on their gfoing West, is an additional inducement to them to" take such a -step. . ' . ' , Such IiJlians -on, the other hand, ; who arc desirous of remaining where' they now are, will find th ir condi- tionmade more comfortn"- o by the receipt of the interest, i his meas ure, though not fcee frr a objection,; perhaps, is the best which it was practicable to obtain tinder the exis: 1 ting circumstance, and in fact waV passed even in this form with much- " difficulty.
