In resigning his post as editor of the Phoenix, Boudinot sets forth the basis for conflict between rival factions of Cherokee leadership -- the Treaty Party or Ridge Party and the Anti-Treaty Party or Ross Party. Boudinot, a member of the pro-treaty group, utilizes various documents to explain the motives of the removal treaty signers, and in so doing, he criticizes Principal Chief John Ross for misleading the Cherokee people by fostering their hopes in a lost cause. Boudinot includes letters and addresses by Ross and himself relative to strife amongst the parties and a failed attempt at resolution as well as correspondence between himself and the Chief. Documents in relation to the validity of the Cherokee treaty of 1835: Letters and other papers relating to Cherokee affairs : being a reply to sundry publications authorized by John Ross An address to the whites: delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, on the 26th of May, 1826 Boudinot, Elias, -1839 This document is a published copy of a speech delivered by Elias Boudinot, Cherokee missionary and future editor of the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper, in Philadelphia on May 26, 1826 and printed by William F. Geddes. Boudinot's speech was part of a fund-raising tour designed to procure money for the establishment of a printing press in the Cherokee Nation from which to publish a national newspaper. In this speech, Boudinot emphasizes the "progress" of the Cherokees by detailing their agricultural and domestic employments and the invention and adoption of the written Cherokee language devised by Sequoyah (also George Guest). Boudinot further highlights the influence Christian missionaries have had in the Cherokee Nation. He urges his audience to distinguish themselves philanthropically by supporting not only the publication of a national newspaper, but also the establishment of a seminary within the Cherokee Nation.
