ment Tho lofty mountains, nantled with per-

successfully encountered by the hardy sons Of the
mountains.

being impractcable for the greater part Of the sea
sOn-thc distance being nearly eight hundred miles
and about twelve hundred back 10 the Statcs-the
citizens Of this interior country would necessarily
labor under the most embarrassing circumstances.

eminent was not given them of their own.
The name selected for that country IL borrowed
from the Book Of Mormon, where a description is
given of a voyage of the ancient Jaredtes from the
tower of Babel TO the American continent more
than four thousand years ago. II is said that they
brought with them seeds Of all kinds, and also
"Desnet," which, by Interpretation, is the honey
bee. The bee and the hive being cmbcms Of skill
and industry, the citizens there wishing ever TO cx.
hibit those qualifications, have chosen the above
name, being adapted TO the character which they
ever wish to sustain Frontier Guardian.

Is now nearly SIX years ago that we separated
from you, and declared ourselves independent and
this separation, in spite Of false assurances to the
contrary, Is destined to be eternal one. We
may yet live as good neighbours though under diff
ferent banners. We have invited you to do this by
proposing peace, which is necessary TO all our in
terests; but those who rule you have rather
preferred TO force you to leave your homes to fight
against US, and doomed you TO be shot, many of
you as were willing. Recolect your suflerings in
the last campaign, which our brave Santana ter
minated so gloriously, and consider what conf
dence you can have in men who called your defeat
a victory We have never attacked you we have
contened ourselves with defending against
aggression, III the hope that you would initiate our
moderation. But patience becomes sometimes cx-
hausted; and since you would not have peace now,
then, III your turn support all the sufferings OF
war on your own soil-on your properties-on your
persons. When we wish To attack you, we know well
our advantages and your weakness. We can hurt
you much will suit you, both by and on your

any defence, offering themselves an easy prey to

on the tops Of the rocks-your guns in your hands

home you will find your houses burnt down. You
know all these sufferings already. You suffer al

odious monopoly which ruins you, and the tyranny
you labor under See, then, what you will still
suffer if you continue this Haytien We
