tants of Pennsy ylvaniasand Ohio, that the steal

in The South is not that delightful amusement
they take it to be- 1t is thus that all the
border people of civilized countries have been
forced to protect themselves ]! was by Ju-
dicious and decisive incursions only, by bloody
fights and bloody seiges, by laying waste the
land, and burning the towns OF the hcrce and
lawless Moors of Spain, that the Christians
of CASTLE and Arragan could secure their lives
their liberties their property and their religion.
at was bv such measures only that the
yomenry of northern England got peace from
the horse steaers and other plunders-thesle-
viers3 of JEaekn mail, from the neighborlng
Scotch Highlands.
at was by 6ft5 years of such warfare, only
with the Indians of the frontier, that Western
Virginia was settled. 1t was by plentiful
hundred fold return ofthe scalping-kpife and
tomahawk, that our fathers got peace and
quiet for the plough-share and seythe. That
Iime is returning. We venerate the brave
men that in those early days thus made law
which would not be mistaken, and which could
not be evaded. In all these countries their
deeds are handed down in traditions and IN
songs, for the respect of the last and longest
generation. That time is returning. Inc
people of the border again resort to the law OF
self preservation; will again,by tre and slaugh-
ter. bv laying waste the lane, burning towns.by
hanging and shooting their plunderers, wher-
ever they can be caught, place the tear ol
evil doing before the eyes that Will only see oy

defence. will be villie6ed by all the thieves IN
the world; but 50 we're these of whom We
have spoken, and whom posterity holds IN
Veneration.
The Spirit shown in the early history OF
other countries, and which animated the plon-
eer population of the vest within the recoi-
lection of many yet living is not yet dead
1t has slept because there has been little Tor
us to do But there is much for it to do now,
and circumstances are making it. The fear
of punishment is the only thing that aOW pre-
rent genuine yankees from stealing. The
peniteniary and the wkipping post are the
oaly incentiues to honesty in private t.fe, and
tie torch and tie bullet are The only means to
make them other than nation Of robbers an
