ders had been given, and that the soldiers
were already on their march beyond the
limits Of The city ~
This is in truth most extraordinary at
fair. Il is the first instance since hlng
Georges Red jackets we're driven out, that
hired soldiers we're Iesor,ed 10, 10 suppress
a quarrel between two individuals and dis
charge the ordinary functions OF the law
| In Itself and It's results, It is matter oil We
~ trivial moment. But as sign OF coming
events. It is well calculated to make deep
impression upon the public mind. An ap'
peal to the soldiery on so paltry preteAl
/ by the Governor, should admonlsh US oil The
solemn truth, which all history inculcaies
Cine men potcer and they wtH abuse II.
II teaches US lesson pat 10 the times, and
which the people OF tbs country should mol
! treat with indifference. We have seen the
President and his Secretary OF War recon-
mend Military Scheme, which, 1t adopted,
would put il into the power of those IN au'
,hority, to subject at pleasure every town
and hamle, in the contederacy, to martial
law. The means being at hand, preteS's
will not be wanting TO use them, as made
amply nantes, by the case under consideFa
ton.
As 10 the causes Of this novel proceeding
on the part OF the Governor, # seems scBsce'
ly credible, that The petty quarrel between
two or a dozen individuals about petty pc
li,ical calumny, could have prompted hIm
10 the hig III haBdt d measure. which he ADOPT
ed Ilecould not from such circumstance,
have apprehended as he states IN his le'ler,
any serious disturbance TO the public peace.
1 But that statement, he substantially contra
diets 10 his communication with the Town
Council. Ia this he stated, that he appeal
ed to tho Military to protect himself and
family. 10 this the public prints and the
whole current testimony of the first citizens
OF Tallahassee give fat contradiction
The Governor, we hear, is not popular
He superseded the gallant Call by resort
TO d,sreputable arts, and is leagued With a
faction, al war with the true interests OF the
Territory, and which makes a spoil OF the
substance of the people. Tie IS regarded
as the tool OF his master at Washington
and in the words OF the Florida Star, " Is
the unwelcome ruler over an unwilling PEG
ple." But nobody seeks to do him personal
Injury. The people would rejoice al bis
removal; bu. they would disdaln resort
TO violent measures TO compass their ends
