 EXPLANATION.

 By "principal men of the Nation," we do not mean the head chiefs, that is to say, William Hicks and John Ross, but our leading men, or in other words, the members of the National Committee & Council.  These men we do not believe, can alter the Constitution in any way, except that which is prescribed in the last article of that instrument.

While an effort has been made to verify the transcription against the original text, complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Researchers are urged to match the transcription against the original article to authenticate exact quotes. Issues of the Cherokee Phoenix are available on microfilm.
