IN company with US, and while he works on
his hook, at his own barrow, [ shall never
quarrel with him or attempt to drive him
back; though, if must express my opinion,
| think his freight will be swamped among
the fens of Salt river. There comes anoth-
Ier fellow, with horses attached 10 combrous
machine, moving on skids, outside of which
you may see the p%rotruding muzzles of a
whole battery of cannon, and the inside of.
whichis filled with ammunition, guns, drums,
and trumpets, and all the paraphernalia of
War. That fellow is full offight and wants
to go to war with either Mexico or England,
or a somebody else he not particular with
whom. He wished TO put all that freight ln-
side of our wagon; but when we satisfied
him we had not room for the fifteen part of
it, he agreed to bring it himself, with his
own force, and | am not willing to drive him
back, or quarrel with him about his whims;

liar notions, yet he, as we'll as they, is in
favor of our carrying every article we have
in our wagon and desires TO accompany us as
far as he can to defend and protect it
Yonder comes another fellow, tottering I'M
der the weight ola knap-sack, filled wirh
treaties on Polemical Divinity and a thous-
and Sectarian Controversies. He ardently
implored us to give room in the wagon for
all that luggage but he was assured that if
one halfhi tracts should be read on the
road, instead of pr oceeding in harmony to-
gether, there wouldb a general fight among
the whole company; after which, when Cath
ole and Protestant had prommelled each
Older soundly, the company would be separ-
ated into religious factions, and would never
reach their place of destination. He was
informed, then, ifhe would take along his
knap-sack, he must bearits weight, and keep
its contents TO himself; as the only tracts al
lowed to be carried in the wagon; or dissem.
