Impressed with these sentiments, we feel it a
duty incumbent on us to make known, that at a

has been unanimously decided, that the horde

Known to any regulation of their euvernment.
and unauthorized by law) is dane-erous to thn
good understanding that uw subsists between
our nation and the citizens of United States.
Was any argument necessary to enforce this
idea, it wilt ho foubd in the history of the late
transaction that has taken nlaee in the Chero
