On a question to important & so indispensible to the permanent welfare of the great cherokee family, as the re-union of the two nations: they refuse their assent to the assertion of the Western Council that " the two people have already been United";-- they cannot concieve that the ancient integrity of the cherokee nation can be "notclear" & her existence "notclear" , without conditions & without action of any kind;- to them the rejection by the representatives of their western brotheren of the reasonable proposition to unite the two nations on the basis of the stricted rules of justice & equity is an act equally asslorked for and surprizing:they therefore resolve that the declarations of the General Council of the Nation at Aquokee Camps, on the 1st day of August 1838, in reference to the attributes of sovereignty inherited from their fathers, be &thereby are, re-asserted & confirmed: And they further resolve that the proceedings of the Committee & Council be forthwith laid before the people, that their sense may be had upon the subject.
