1T is very much to be regretted that the
American Government, having successfully

snilnity and concilia.ion, and calculated, if any
thing can to heal the wounds left behind it
by the lute fearful struggle, should not have
buried the>hatchet altogether. On her West,
the great Republic is still engaged in a fearful
conflict withsthc Indians, and on the East her

toll in what spirit the Government of the
United States is disposed to receive the final

to seek quarrel with us, as we'll this demand
