We should be sorry to predict any further consequences from the above circumstance, but we know from experience that when these people are inclined to mischief, it becomes the settler's duty to guard with very vigilance against them; and to be cautious of their intercourse, lest they be deceived by counterfeited familiarity designed to throw them off their guard and then treacherously to take advantage of their perceived security. From their friendship we can gain nothing; but from their enmity we have much to apprehend. It is to be hoped, however, that from the above act of aggression of a few stragglers we are not to anticipate the revival of excesses, at the recollection of which the imagination shudders."
