'!'here is too much good sense in the farmers, and regular Merch(JITl,ts in that Country to suffer themselves to be envolved in difficulties by transient Pedlars or Traders whose only object is to increase their profits at the cost of those who may be weak or vile enough to aid them. • As regards the Past, and any bad feelings which may have existed about the transactions in which ]\fr Fisher was concerned-I think they should all be buried in everlasting oblivion and forgotten. " The SoYeraign J\1antle" of the Nation has been thrown over all former excitements in every part of the Nation. The same should be done in Texas, and I haYe no doubt it will be, and that Mr li.,isher, as Collector of Galveston will receive the unanimous sup- port of the farmers and regular merchants. s. F. AUSTIN A true copy of the original, in my possess10n, which I hereby certify.
