The very first breeze that waits tho fame and rumphs of Oseola to the prairies of tho West, may also hear upon it's bosom the reycrbc.asons of war whoop that will ring in lingering and appalling echoes from the Red river to the Wisconsin, Inc protection afforded US by the Government is by no means ample, and in the event of hostilites being menced, we would necessarily have 10 rely, great degree upon our own means of defence.
