moderation and good feeling which characterized

The NEE, ing may be said TO have exhibited the

rr,Wor. WHICH have since emaRated from other
ou,r,ers. They did not wish, nor would they
sanction any collision with the public agents; out
as orderlysud quiet settlers, were anxious 10 re,
tain their rude habl,ations until the land should
be finally disposed Of by the government, HE
contrast exhl6ired by these settlers, who have so
great an interes, at stake, rebounds much to
their patriotism, when placed by the side OF the
Incorporate proceedings at meetings in sections
luubt not, are governed by motives entirely d'f-
srsnt if not foreign to the peace and harmony
II the country. We again repeat our sincere
.ish that such arrangements may be made oy me
government as will save the necessity OF moving
hose settlers at least who have not 'ntruded up
M the RIGHTS of the Indians. Huntsville Demo
