They complain very loudly of govern I, icnt, and of some of its officers. If they were dogs I should readily commisserate them." We cannot believe that the author

v of the above letter has erred through ignorance His statements are too notoriously false to allow him that

charity. Mr. McCall, the deceased, as a respectable citizen of Crawford , caiintv, (llino brorother t( cnlivVHe unty, Illinois.- lie was not judge, to luuvre ivicvaii, oi ims had neither wife nor thildren. lie was wounded on the l9th of March, and died on the 2ist ; and more than fifteen days previous to the 8th April, (the due of the letter,) was laid in the grave : How then could the author of the above ex tract see him in a a cart at that time, aHw moment alter pis decease: The Indian! who perpetrated this crime, were not Miami) (as stated in the le!U r,) but Dciawarcs : Nor have v e any reason to believe that this horrid deed was the effect of national ank fa 1 . . imositv : U is said anil believed, tnat they wrere intoxicated before tiprwf.m Vll I WW v t the house of the deceased. W e have to attribute the loss of this valuable citizen to the baneful effects of the inebriating cup, put to the month of the Indians by American hands. The murderers are now in prison, awaiting their trial j and we are in no more danger of a ihotile visit trom the natives, than the inhabitants of Baltimore or Boston Wc cannot conceal our surprise, that any person l ahouldbe baseor weak enough, thus tWiKffa.vor to excite the apprehen sions of persons in the East, for the safety of their friends, who have emigrated to the West.
