tofore emigrated to Arkansas. and
brought to Florida to induce their friends
to follow them, l did not invite them to
come and see me- Some Seminoles went
to Arkansas many years ago. We were
then sorry to lose them; but we have got
over that sorry long since, and now they
are nothing to us, and we do not desire to
see them. did not expect this talk,
and had | done so, would not have
helped to deliver up these men to you"
Billy Bowlegs, who is fine locking
fellow of forty, followed with great ear
nestness and dignity of manner. After
talking somewhat to the same effect as
Assunwha, though with more wildness Of
phrase, but not of manner, he added:
1--WE have now made more stringent
laws than we have ever had before, and
| have brought here many young men
and boys to see the terrible consequences
of breaking our peace-Iaws. | brought
them here that they might see their com
rades delivered up TO be killed. This
business has caused many tears, but we
have done justice.
IL now pledge you my word that, it
you will cease this talk of leaving the
country. no other outrage shall ever be
committed by my people; or ifever' here.
after, the worst among my people shall
cross the boundary and do any mischief
to you: people, you need not look for
runners or appoint councils to talk |
will make up my pack and shoulder it,
and my people will do the same We
will all walk down to the sea.shore, and
we will ask but one question: Where
lis the boat to carry us TO Arkansas"
A day was appointed for another coun-
Gil, but they did not promise to attend
There was an informal promise that some
runner would come in 10 see the whites
but they often observed that they were
stunned and confused by the talk, aud
could not promise anything. When
Billy Bowlegs was asked, after the coun'
Gil, if the delegations from Arkansas
should be sent out 10 him as soon as they
arrived, he became agitated and held hi:
breath for moment. He then said
with great deliberations: "Wild Cat is
my great friend. Tell him not to come
into our country until | send for him."
A subsequent letter, from the same
source, inlmates that portion ofthe In
dians may be induced to emigrate.
The ELECTToN-We are happy to say
that our election passed off with unusua
order. The efficient measures taken by
the Mayor to preserve the peace, aidec
in the most prompt cooperation of the
several Police Captains and their men
and the determination oflhe people them
selves not only to support law and orde
out to vote the Wing ticket, conspiret
to keep in subjection those turbulent spir
its who are ever ready to raise riot ant
maltreat and insult respectable citizens
We did not hear of any disturbance ex
cept in the Sixth Ward, that old battle
/ platform of the harmonious Democracy,
and here all the fighting was done by thu
Kelley aud Foote factions; black eye
and broken heads were tolerable plenty
but as the heads were empty there wa
nothing ost.--Three or four collision
occurred in the course of the day within
the precincts Of the Tombs, but no Sc
rious damage was done. The sixth ais
had the honor of three arrests for il
legal voting, while no other Ward show
ed more than one. OF course the an
nouncement ofa whig majority is synony
nous with peace, quietness, and respec
for law; aud the Police returns of thi
morning will prove that this was eminent
