He gave a very favorable account of the people on his estate; stating that they were as peaceable and industrious as he could desire, that he had their confidence, and fully expected to retain it after entire emancipation.
Whether it was that they were inflamed by the fearful and wholesale barbarities enforced by Ferdinand and the Inquisition against their tribe, or whether they were stirred up by one of their own order, in whom was recognised the head of their most sacred family; or whether, as is most probable, both causes combined certain it is, that they manifested a feeling that was thoroughly unknown to the ordinary habits and policy of that peaceable people.
Cockatoo Island finished what the native police commenced; and but for his arrant cowardice, and the dread of the settler's fire-arms, he would have been as great a ruffian as ever traversed the bush. Thus, though Dugingi was peaceable, it was only the quiet of the subdued tiger, which merely required time and opportunity to develope its real nature.
"Well, sure she ain't far out of the way, with this time," interjected a voice; "bad blood more'n in this instance it's raised; the whole town's taking sides on it, and there was two fights yesterday. Why didn't they jest raffle the watch off decent and peaceable?" "There's some objects to raffling." "There's some objects to drinking tea an' coffee, they're so bigoted!
We are quiet, peaceable citizens, who have nothing to do with the war, but only busy ourselves with our pens." "Our arrest is contrary to all national law," cried Mr. Kretschmer, at the same time endeavoring to defend himself from the weapons which were pointed at him. The officer laughed.

If you'll give your word that there won't be no gun-play until after the peace meetin' is over, you can take your hands down." "No shootin' goes right now," agreed Calumet. "But after this peace meetin' "
We should be sorry to cast a doubt on the Peaceable Man's loyalty, but he will allow us to say that we consider him premature in his kindly feelings towards traitors and sympathizers with treason. On a pleasant afternoon of June, it was my good fortune to be the companion of two young ladies in a walk.

And all at once good-humoured little Miki felt the devil rising in him. This time he did not yap for mercy.
"I'll walk up to the station platform an' lay the gun there," said the sheriff coldly; for Texas was less dangerous at a distance; "an' when you see me start away from the platform you can start for the gun. I'm takin' your word that you'll leave peaceable."
