Hhief and highway robber, who years
ago carried on an extensive buaines#
•of the same sort on Texas' soil, and
for wi.ioh he ha* ncvor yet been pirn-
ished by the United State?, büc has

sn wo reflect that
rican Government has bo*
como notorious for its imbocility in
affording to protection to iU citi-
iioni. Indeed the day has come
w hon no nmn need take prido in
claiming American citizenship, for
.the truth is the Government neither
commands respect at homo nor abroad.
Whilo Grant and his hat4eqnin fol-
lowers are running frantic after a new
slice of niggerdoiQ, the Indians and;
Mexicans aro permitted to oomeinto
our Texas frontier aud commit every
species of outrage apon our white in-
habitants that. incarnate devils can

we get for the grinding taxation im-
pesed upon us ? Is it merely to ex-
ult in the acknowledgment that we
possess the shadow of a thing, the
eubstancc whereof does not exist.
Do wo get protection in tho enjoys

No indeed, we are scarcely permitted
to defend our own lives against the
Indian's uplifted tomahawk. Com-
parisons may sometimes be considered
invidious, but we must draw a paral-
lel between the Government of the
United States and that of Great Bri-
tain in this case. It is well known
that the latter sent an army of ten
thousand men into Abyssinia merely
to demand the surrender of three ob-
scure British subjects, which finally
resulted in the restoration of the cap-
tives, and the downfall of Theodore.
How many American eaptives among
the Indians has the United States
troubled herself about, or how is it
that in times of peace she permits
the Mexicans and Indians to enter
her borders and rob and murder
her citizens without a murmur ? If
these facts are not enough to make
"loilty" manifest in Texas, at least;

Our account, quoted above, con-
tinues that the contests between the
rancheros and Mexican predatory
bandits are fraquent. War seems
imminent. It is stated that the mili-
tary authorities in Brownsville have
made the proper representations to
*heir government, and urge immedi-
ate action in the premises. This,
of course, Grant will attend to if
he should find time, between his
cigar and flirtations at Long Reach,
Saratoga, or "somewhere else."

WEATHERFORD, Aug. 14th 1870,
Messrs Smith & Co.
I am mnch gratified
that I can recommend the Henter Gang
Plow. I llave tried it on my farm thor-
ghly. the ground was dry and hard, and
as stiff black land as any in the county.
I tried it first in clean land free from weeds
also in very foul land and very weedy. It
does its work well, as weli ae Í could desire
it to do. You neod not have any fears,it is a
good Plow and willfully meet the wants of
every farmer. . J. P. COLE.

work, andcau fully endorse the above
