We have conversed with gentleman who says that
he had held conversation, in person, with 10 Smith,
few days ago, and that Smith stated that his people
we're prepared 10 die in the defence OF what they
thought be their rights that although the Governor
might raise and send against them the power Of the
State; yet, he, nor all the he could bring, would
not drive them from their present homes.
We wonder that Ills Excellency has not called upon
the Crays Of this City They arc armed and equipped
for service, and would be more efficient than any
troops which he could muster; being better disc pined
and prepared for any emergency than troops can be-
BIT Of their preparation and discipline the Governor has
