For the last twenty-five years we have trus-
ted officials of the government. irom eonsta-
bles and justices, to Judges, governors ana
Presidents, only to be seorned, he'd IN defis-
ion, insulted and betrayed. Our houses nave
been plundered and then burned. our ttids
laid waste, our principal men butchercd @hlis
under the pledged faith Of iha government
for their safety, and our families driven from
their homes to find that shelter IN the barren
wilderness and that protection among hos
tile savages which We're denied them IN the
hoasted abodes OF Christianity ana ctViiiza-

ourselves from the false. foul ard vnj ast es
tpersions against Us before the nation, The
Government has not condesccnded to cause
an investigating committee or other person to
be sent to inquire into & ascertain the truth
as is customary in such cases. We know those
aspersions to be false, but that arailaG no

instieation of anonymous letter writer's,
