OUR soUTH-wEspERN FRONTIER
The frequency with which our citizens. our Territory, are alarmed by the savage Excursions made upon them by the neigh Z boring Indians, and the many citizens who

 have fallen victims to the tomahawk and

 scaiping-knife, are fearfnlly impressing

 them with dread of yet more direfiIl events. So great is this apprehension, that iour citizens in that quarter, are driven to the necessity of having spies through the Ecountry about them, that timely notice lnay be given ofthe approach of any savage 1foe.

 # Our Legislature has repeatedly memori- szzzliI1ed Congress the subject Of the dan zger to which our citizens are exposed, and Petitioning that an adequate military force szzinay be so located, as to afford protection NSto our frontier settlements. These appli- Ascations for protection, have not only been ain vain, but they have been worse than in sBsain. Not only have they been unheeded, zEbut the small military force which for 2sometime occupied Cantonment Towson, ..has been withdrawn, and we are left to the $:sEnercy of the merciiess savage. Cur citi- Izens are compelled, by turns, to leave their i farms to the care of their wives and child Iren, while they, as scouts, are lowering Iround the enemy to mark the road they Etake. in order to prevent more of their

 Plumbers from perishing in their own corn

 felds.

 How much longer are we thus to be ex-

 posed

 It is confidently expected, that the Pre-

 sident, who is better acquainted with the smerciless savage than any of his predeces-

 sors, and who best knows the surest means Nof defence, will not suffer the present ses- zsion of Congress to terminate, without strongly recommending such measures as

 will efficiently protect our citizens.
