war against the outlaws will never cease
until every one Of them is driven from
the county.
The band OF cuthrosts and robbers,
who have compelled the formation Of
the Vigilence Committee BY their acts,
have Tor a long time mad things pretty
much their own way. They have re-
sisted every process Of the Courts and
have shot at and driven away the off,

and robbed citizens in broad daylight
and have committed every species Of
outrage with IMMUNITY. The people
finding themselves powerless else, have
taken the law into their own hands and
