rEqir plan Of operation IA ~ follows Five or
six hundred men will meet II the place OF rem

three or four Of the leaders will proc~d TO Pixies

The Object Of the expedition Is that OF plumber

So Il would seem that we are not only
likely TO be invaded by an organized ar

by the dolorous complaints Of few sub
but that predatory bands Of
outlaws, are contemplating a raid, think
ing the present u favorable time to rob,
destroy, and murder. Ofcoursc the sub
mission presses ought not to be slenced
or even expected to modify their tone.
This il free country, aud men should
be allowed to write and publish what
they please. The liberty Of the press
must not be interfered with, even il the
of snch newspapers in.
vitcs invasion, rapinc, and jcsolation
We Of Texas know that an invading ar
my Of $4,000 men would be driven from
our soil That with the Texans in front
and the civilized Indians in the rear, that
such an army would be cut to pieces
But do our enemies know iii They Ger.
talniy do not M yet, and they may, like
John Brown, be unconscious Of the dan
ger until il is too late. Al all events, il
is no harm to prepare to give them o
warm reception, if they should venture
upon the experiment Of inv aiding our
soil
