 93jp(ec)ally the persons now rating 
 t|ii8 Settlement, we wiiih to state 
 o^r ic(ea of when, at certain times, 
 the Itvva are set at dafiance and the 
 Priaon broken into. It has been 
 remarked, Mr, EJil:or, by all travel 
 lers who Iiave visited us, that we 
 are, or rather have bsca, a peaceable, 
 
 Suiet people. Murde a are almost, 
 nknow Stealing is ve y rare, 
 and there must be some cause frliy, 
 Ht tinges, the people take the law in 
 their own bands, and set the existing 
 authority at defiance — the reasons 
 W3 will attempt to give. The bot- 
 tom of^ths whole matter is, that we 
 want, and ought to have, 8:>md voice 
 in the Cottncila of the Country. VVe 
 know tbac amoag oui-selves, when- 
 ever anyone assunjes power in oUr 
 hunting parties or elsewhere, it is by 
 the voice of the t)9qple who then con 
 
 •md the object of our choice is denied 
 the msual priviliges of the Qom\, 
 ana &hea ia treate ^ with usac^e before 
 unheard of i^mong us. Is it i^ny 
 W(^d«r- that we almosc despair of 
 frntfitLf, that we Ssaemble agaiu, ai§ 
 we havi» assembled bel'jre, to eafojDce 
 ottr wishee when .they &m thus rq

 ]|raiu an instance ofprevaleiit injustice, 
 ^«. will point you \o. tha fact th^t, 
 within five miles of Fort Garry below

 aatlei above M as thickly eettIod~ 
 and influential a community only one,

 only reteutly appointed. ' 
 
 Now to sum up, Ml'. EJitpr, tha 
 pteople who break the Jail and set 
 lieX^w at defianoi^ do i^ bl^ca,u0e. 
 the Gonncil allows them tip otheft 
 legitime' means of redress. Xn tl.e

 is the same, those who obey tne laws

 the laws. 
 
 Now, Mr. Editor, as it stands now 
 wo have no voice in the making of 
 the laws, and if any injustice ia com

 except by cioing what has been her^
