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.

Now, Mr. Editor, as it stands now wo have no voice in the making of the laws, and if any injustice ia com uitted, we have no way of helping it except by cioing what has been her^ 4oae, breaking the law, which is not liked by U3, and thu« bettering oim^ selvea.
