disunion from the above extract from Sew.
wards speech could get blood from a turnip
or moonbesms from cucumbers with the
slightest imaginable pressure. Suppose
SEwA RD had said: ave want bold, out

of AMERICA what would the editor of
the Gazette have saidl To be consistent he
could rot have said less than he does now.
If all men are disunionists, who live "in
fear of God and not of man." then is there
large msjority of the American people in
favor of disunion. But, on the contrary, if,
as we most firmly believe, a man can live in
the fear o. God and at the same time pray
for the perpetuiry of this glorious Union.
then will this Commonwealth stand, and
grow and become stronger, long years after
the whole race of disunion demagogues are
forgotten in dishonored graves.

their eye fixed upon the great cardinal prin-

The three parties-Republicans, Demo

ever, and it is by no means certain that an
organization can be effected before the as
sembling of the Cincinnati Democratic
Convention, next June. 1t is certain the
demgcrats will not give in before that time.
and it is now acknowledged that in the
choice Of a speaker is involved the election
of president Of the United States, in the

thrown upon the House. And so, of

Dear Sir:-Since l saw you have ia
ken every means in my power to find out
the truth, or falsity, of the report which
has been circulated in, and about, the
Sound, to the effect, that the northern III
dians we're about to make a descent upon
our Inhabitants. The result is, that there
Is no truth whatever in the story. Gov.
Douglass Of Victoria, which place we left
this morning, informs me that some SO ca
noes arrived there day or two since from
the north, containing men, women and
children to the number of some three or
four hundred, but he believes them to be
ss peaceful as heretofore, and il they had
any warlike intentions his means of infor-
nation are such, that he would be sure to
know it, and in time to give our people a
warning Of the fact, which he will not fail
to do, should anything of the kind trans
pire. Capt. Mcneil { who is one of the
chief factors in the Hudson Bay Cos. SER
vice, and in charge of Fort Simpson, and
who arrived last night at Victoria, also
informs me that he has neither seen or
heard anything among the Indians there
calculated TO excite the least alarm, al
though large numbers of them may be ex-
pected down, as is usual, during the spring.
would also state for your information,
that short time ago party Of men sent
by Gov. Douglass, were Fortunately by COM
ing upon them in the night) in capturing
two or three Of small band Of Indians
which had been encamped for several
months in q secluded nook on one of the
Islands in the Canal do Arc. There was
found in their possession, among other
things which were stolen from the whites,
q acoOkiug stove and part Of bullock
Those that were caught are still in custody,
and will be. tried by the laws of tho place;
they have confessed, the Gov informs me,
that most Of their depredations were COM
mitted on Whidby's Island, fact which
identifies them as being the same that have
Occasioned the recent anxiety close in that
quarter; but as their haunt is now broken
up and the party dispersed, trust you will
have no further uneasiness on that head
Be pleased to communicate the above in
formation to any one interested.
And believe me, very truly,
Your obedient servant,
