Ito get from the country the west side OF the iiv-
er 10 st. Louis. This line from Galena, through |
Illinois 10 St. Louis is insufficient for the travel
from this upper country during the winter season,
and the coaches SO bad that it snever safe for
person to start through who isnot able to walk halt
the distance and pack fence rail ON his shoulder.
We are confident that the business of the country
will justify the Department in its establishment,
and the ineffciency Of a horse nan - 70 pc seen
at any time by calling AT the post Office at tins
place. and we understand that equally as much
goes weekly from Galena TO Bellyiew, and there
remains for some, for want OF sufncient convey

CAsApA.--We learn by the Montreal Vindica-
tor, of Nov. It'll, that the Tories have commenced
operations in this province. On the 9th, asocle'y
of Reformers called the ssSons OF Liberty, assem-
bled in yard III James street, and while convened,
were assaulted and stoned by lawiess mob OF To-
ries. When they adjourned, after passing resoiu-
lions expressive of their views the state of the
country, the mob vas lying in wait, again COM
|menced the attack, which ives returned by the
sSons Of Liberty'' strongly that the Torres were
compelled to retreat. They went to the place where
magistrates were assembled, all of whom being
Tories, the Riot Act was read, and the militia
called out With this security, the mob paraded
1.-THE streets, assal,ing the persons and throwing
stones at The houses of all opposed to them in poll
tics. Their fury was particularly directed to the
house of Mr.. Papineau, which was stoned, break
ling the windows, and in every way possible, injur-
ing it. Afior dark, they proceeded to the SWIM
dicator', Office, broke through the iron windows,
tore open the doors, threw the type, forms, &c.
into the streets, entered the editors Office, destroy
cd every thing which they could find. They then
marched through the principal streets, destroying
every thing they could find belonging to the Re-
formers During the riot the magistrates, instead
of trying to preserve order, were urging the mob on
in their works of destruction.
The tyrannical course OF their rulers will render
necessary the speedy action of the Reiorners and
drive them to an organization for the protection OF
their rights and the preservation OF their persons
!. and property. All the Reformers holding Office
under the crown, either ascyi Or military, have
resigned their commissions rather than submit to
the requirements ofthe crown, which have been
filed by the appointment of Tories, consequently,
all the Offices are held by them.
The Vindcator appeals to the Rcformers TO be-
stir themselves TO action, and auds the conduct OF
the s:Sons OF Lberty' for their chiyarous and pa
. triotic acts. Let the Reformers take the history
of our republic, read lessons from it, and By follow
ing the examples set by our ioefathers, rich re-
ward for their tolls will be the result, and an ever
lasting stain be placed upon The heads of their cne-
8 mics, the Torres.

might be captured without taking lives, which wa
accomplished. Several other squads of Indian
