The Arkansas banner., 1846-05-13
From that sleteh, .ve make the following extraets

From that sketch, we make the following extracts: In speaking of the object of the Bill, he says "1he Bill has not been reported aoih any otter u,e1 than he protection cf our ort!ications and ExrEN-
 nED FRoNTIER."
 Asaln; after speaking of the contemplated dis Posal oi the troops on various parts of our great
 Western and Southern Frontier, he says "Ihe balance of the dragoons could then return to the Arkansas and Missouri from lers, where they are much wanted, and
 where troops must be placed to afford secu- Frlty This We demand as a matter of right, government having thrown upon our from tier some sixty thousand Indian warrors.- II IS true that no immediate danger or hos tlltty IS apprehended from that quarter. But who can tell how long the present pacific policy will be pursued? In order to pre- serve our present friendly relations with these Indian tribes, we must be provided with force sufficient to preserve their re- spect for our citizens, and for our laws-a respect which is always paid when they see our ability to conmand t by force.
 1t IS not my purpose todwel on the fact of the government having placed upon the from Her oE Arkansas the Florida Indians, who en- tertan (to say the least of it) no kind feelings towards our citizens, or towards their neigh boring tribes, and who can only be trusted when you have force sufficient to deter them from acts of hostility; nor will time now suffice to dwell on the deplorabe con- dltion Of the remnant of that once brave and powerful nation, the Cherokccs. From them the whjtc men have no fear oi hoslli- ties; but dlssenslons among themselves, lea ding to intestine wars and murders, must eventually end in the destruction of that g; liant people, if the government does not interfere, as it Is in honor and by frcaiy bound to project them from themselves and from each other Thus far nothing has been found capable of restraining them from their own destruction but the strong arm of the goyernment.o
 Again:
 ''l therefore urge the necessity of an im- mediate increase of the army-an increase sufficient to insure quiet and protection to every portion of our vast frontier; and the Committee on Military affairs have estimated that two new regiments of riAemen, with Inc addition oi ten men to each company of the dragoons, artillery, and infantry, will give force adequate to the exigencies of the service
 And yet, with all this before him, the Tntellgen- cer had the erontery, the bare aced reckless mal- ice to assert, and make it the subject of violent and abusive attack upon Coy. YELL, that he had "disclamed the necessity of troops upon our iron tier!" &c. Was falsehood more palpable ever ut tered-was islander, more wilful ever perpetIated, and with obviously, more malicious design, than we have alleged, established and proven against the Van Buren Intelligencer2
 Ii il were worth while to question such miser. able, convicted, and disgraced vehicle of fasehooa and islander the IntelIigencer is, thus, seen to be, we might inqnire-from what source does il pretend to have derived the information upon which it ventured such weak, false and wicked charge against Gov. YELL' Was it from the Washington newspaper reports of Congressional proceedings?- No! for nothing of the kind has appeared in them Was it from any pamphlet speech, purporting to have been delivered by Gov. YELL' No for none such has been printed. Where, then, .and from aehom, did the lntelligencer learn that Gov. YElL, "in public speech delivered in the House of Rep resentatves diseIamed the necessity of troops upon our frontier, &c.3.'
 We have proven inc charge to be Tot only un- ffue, but the very rererse of the truth. The only possible way, then, for the Integencer to escape from the deep and lasting iniamy of having t;,bri- cIted t;tiseAooa and, thus, forfeited all right to look an honest in the face, is to disclose the name of its igtofmam If il be guilty of the .fi5- ric0tioa, let it stand before the people convicted and confessed feon, to deserve and receive the whitening scorn and contempt of all men who love the truth. But, if as we somewhat suspect, there be an author, from whom the Inelligencer received information, which it was under obligations to obey, and give uterance, We demand the name Of that author that We may place the brand of false hood upon he true felon's forehead
