"HAM COLUMMA, HAPPY LAND 7:
[From the Cherokee Plurnix:l
This week we present to our readers but
hallo. sheet—the reason is, one of our .prin
teis has left us; and we expect another. (who
is a white man) to quit us very soon, either
to be dragged to the Georgia penitentiary
for a term not less than four yearsy or for his
personal safety, to leave the nation, and us
to shift for ourselves as well' as we can.
And, our friends will please to remember,
we cannot invite another white printer to
our assistance without subjecling him to .the
same puniShment; and to have in our em-
ploy one - who has taken the oath to support
the laws of Georgia which now oppress-the
Cherokees, is utterly out ofthe question.
Thus is the liberty of the press. guarantied
by the Constitution of Georgia.
But we will not give up the ship while it
is afloat. We have intelligent youths in the
nation, and we hope before long to nmke up
our loss. An the mean time
,our patrons
will bear with us & have patience, let them
bear in mind that we are in the woods, and,
as it is'ssaid by some, in a savage coun.try,
where printers are not plenty, ar.d a subSti
tute not easily obtained. when one of our
hands leave us or become indisposed—our
paper is therefore easily deranged. _ -Our
readers will please not expect,to receive th© "
Plimnix very regularly for a While. - Wb
shall-do the best we can.
OPPRESSION! OPPRESSION !!!
The following article we commend to the at
tention of the lovers of Liberty—that Liborty
which was achieved forus by our forefathors—
by who cried, "Give us LVIERTY or give US
DEATH!"—and after they have perused• it, make
their own comments:
[From the Cherokee Phoenix.]
We have already noticedithe
Georgia, making a high misdemeanor, pun
ishable with four years imprisonment at
hard. labour in the penitentiary, for any
white man to reside, after the Ist of March,
within the limits of the Cheroket_nation,
.(se. the copy of the laws we received reads
--let the people of Alabama, Tennessee
and North Carolina look out- -- --the . Georgia
legislature is carrying its soVreignty too
far,) unless . he takes the oath .efAegiance,
and obtains from the Governors agent a.
permit to continue his residence until fur
ther orders. We cannot help • alluding a
gain to that law as being extremely unjust
without saying any thing of its oppressive
tendency,. both to the whites and Chero
kees. It is certainly oppressiie on the
whites, even, admitting that the state of
Georgia' has an undoubted jurialtction over
the Cherokee territory. Why is it that it
Is required ofthem to take-the oath, when by
the extension of that jurisdictiortil they w •
admitted im citizens of the state?- is such
requi'rement made of ether citizens? Do the
constitution and the laws recognize, suchitt
• distinction? But what becomes of the libel.-
t,y,,Of conscience in this case?—Here a white
. ,
awn cannot enjoy that liberty without going
.
to the penitentiary.
• What are . the effects of, this law on the
Cherokees? Disastrous.' keit:such effects as
.. the law_ihould
_produce.
' The design:appearsb• to bring them
back to their old stationk--carry thenrlack
twenty years hetti* bePrivi them of all
their means ofimprovement, and remove
Alt the - whit* and it is thought by
the gretit obstacleis taken out of the- way,
and there will be no 'difficulty:to bring the
Cherokees to terms. If this is, not the de
sign it may possibly be the *tendency of the
law. Now let the reader just consider: If
we introduCe a minister of the Gospek i to
preach to us the way of life and salvation,
here is, a law -of Georgia, a Christian law
too it is said, ready to seize him and.send
him to the Penitentiary, in violation of the
constitution of.the state itself. [See Con.
stitution of Georgia, Art. 4—Sec. 'lo.]
If we bring in white
_man to teach our
childreh,,he is also arre'ted and suffers a
similar punishment. If we wish a decent
house built, and invite a carpenter into the
nation to do the work, here is a law which
forces him from our employ and soon num
bers him with culprits. If we introduce a
Blacksmith, or any other mechanic, it is the
same. Is it not natural to suppo:se that the
tendency of such a . law on th 6 Cherokees
would be disastrous?) It forces from 'then'
the veryineans of their improtement in re'.
lin e' ien. and. morals, and in the arts of civili
zed 1i fe
Cabinet JusticeMt appears from the:Cal
houn Correspondence, that Mr. Mpirro4l,
thought Gen. Jackson "might have been,
safely punished if he had been a young of
ficer ;"• and that Mr. Adams was of opinion
that, "if a subaltein had acted, as Gen.
Jackson did, shooting would has'e been too
good for him.?' As though high rank jus
tified a violation of the hives, while a similar
violation in an officer of low degree deserved
something worse than death!!!

POLITICAL ANTIIWA.SONRY
• The devotees of masonry fiOwn with rage
at the contemplation of political antimason
ry. Why is Tiffs? •If 111...0nry. be NOT
it has nothing to fear from anti
masonry, so far as antimasonry is political.
Antimasons have objections enough to ma
sqnry, on grounds of motality and religion.
But political antimasonry only seeks to re
store the government to its genuine repub
lican pukity, and to secure to . the people
their equal rights and liberties under the
known and public laws-and constitutions of
the country. Political antimasonry does
object to the royal, sacerdotal and aristo
cratic titles of masonry and to its monopo
lization of office, and its usurped control of
every branch of government, executive, le
gislative and judicial. But it does - but ob
ject to the exercise of that which the devo
-tees of masonry say, is the object of their
order—CHARITY.
Masonry, forsooth, is not political—so
say its trumpeters. It is merely a charita
ble institution! Very well, be it so. If it
be only a private society that neveraffects
the rights of others, antimasonry will never
hurt it, for antimasonry only aims at its po
litical operations, and' meddles not with its
selfish boast of charily, any-more than with
its harlequin parades. Those will be held
by antimasons M equal contempt and deri
sion-
The people freely leave to masonry all for
which it was established and is upheld
—according' to its own assertions.--But the
people mean to put those. assertions of the
worshipful admirers of Hiram - to the test of
experimetit, and intend to,coriline them to the
alleged objects, of the craft, *by 'withhold
ing from them office and political power.
If what. the" masons profess be true,-their
society will flourish, the better for this pru
ning. If it be not true, the'sooner the'royal
imposture is destroyed,. the betterfor man
kindr—except tkoie who thrive b y the int..
position.

While the dupes of masonry are making
loud declarations respecting the "going
down" ofantiniasonry, the society itself is
melting away by a slow and regular disap

the fact, that the. Rochester craftsman its
