It was not long after the delivery of this letter, when Cherokees from the neighborhood of the Ridges, flooded? in every day upon Mr. Ross -- "Have you joined the Ridges party?" asked they. "Have you determined to forsake the nation's cause, and to sign the Treaty they have offerred?" -- "No. Why do you ask?" "Because the Ridge's say you have. They tell us -- why attempt longer to resist, when even your own Chief gives way to us." The next movement of those unfriendly to the Cherokees, was, the seizure of the Commissioners sent out to make valuations, by the Georgia Guard -- The seizure of the press, in which John Ridge was a party, followed. It was seen that all hope of a desire to change the policy of the party was fruitless and no further step was taken to accomplish a measure which promised evil rather than good.
