vertlse, or i'll any other way to support
y,ur paper, SO people abroad may not
know whether any business is going on
in your town or not. Wrap yourselves
up within yourselves, and cover your

our authorities but it has not had the
slightest effect. They have no more
conception Of gratitude than so many
wolves, and tkey have continually been
stealing horses and mules, numbering
men, oHtraging women, and enslaving
children. Besides, they have Iot only

day, during orr trip through the frontier
settlements of Texas that we did not
hear Of some persons who had suffered

border settlers of Texas must all be an
initiated or the Indians chastised and
