men having rode into the country, found that
some uneasy sensations had been created and Il
belief was like to become current, that it was

the thing more serious, resolved on cutting d. wn

to he flagstaff, where the right of private
property was again commended for. The gene
raj observed that if the flag was not taken down
by the civil power, he would have detac ment
of troops to do it the next day-The civil magis
