the Indidn tribes* with whom the Udited

TO retrace the condud df the
government of the United States
towards the Indian rtibes ß finpe the j
adoption of the conftitmion, can
not fail to afford fatisfadion to ev
ery phiiofephie and hurriari mind.
A constant folteltude appears jo
have existed inrhe Executive and

of peace with the Indians, Updn ’

puniffied thetn accordingly. This,
“’’however, is not the Case, Thte ir-!
ritated passions, on account of sav
age cruelty, are generally too keen {
in the places# inhere trials are had,
to eonvift Ml ^p'Onifh for the kil
ling of an Indian. It is copfidef- i
,ed as unnecessary tb’ cith , inffari
ces, although multitudes might
be adduced In ahhbft ever yp&t of
the country ftbm its firft Ifettle
the present time.
t If this yic^y pf the inability of
both parties; to the peace ber
correa, it wc^^
a jult cofifcquehce that ad ade
quate femeiy.pigHc tojbe prp w-i
ed.fiif aq evil of 4bcX magnitude; 4
It is certainly aft evil to be in
volved in holtifeies with tribes of’
lavages, ^mounting tptwo pr three
thoufand^ aS is the case, north weft
of the Ohio, feut this evil ^quid
be greatly encreafed were a gener
al Indian war to prevail fouth of
‘theOhio; the Indian warrior^ of
the four nations in that quarter pot*
being much Ihort of fburrrenj
. JMoufand,not to advert to the com->
binatipns whw a general Indian
war might produce with the Eu
ropean powers, with whom the
tribes both'north and fouth of the
’Ohio areconneded.
h ' It feetns that opr own experience
[ would demonstrate the pfpprfe.tyl
[of endeavoqnbg to preserve a pad
principles ahd conduct will reflect
permanent*honor upon the nation
al charafter, cannot be doubted—'
At the fame time, it mult be ac.
knowledged, that the execution of
the good intentions of the public
is frequently embarraiTed with per
plexing considerations.
The desire of too many frontier
^whice people to seize, by fo«ce or
fraud# upon the neighboring In
dian lands, has been, and still con
tinues to be, an unceasing caufc of
, jealousy and hatred on the part of
the Indians, and it would appear
upon a calm inveftigacion, that
until the Indians co#? be quieted
upon this point and rely with con
fidence upon the protedion of their
land by the United States, no well
grounded hope of tranquility can
be entertained.
The encroachment of white peo
ple is inceffandy watched, and in
unguarded moments# they ate
murdered by the Idnians; Revenge
is fought, and the innocent fron-:
tier people arh too frequently in
volved# as vidims in the™cruel,
contest. This appears to be a
principal caufc of Indian Warsr.—
Thaf,there are exceptions will not
be denied; The passion of a young
savage for war and fame, too;
mighty tube reftratned by the fee
ble advice of the old men. An
adequate police teems to be want
ing, either to prevent or punilh
the depredations of the unru^—
Lt would hffbrd a confcibus plda-
Cure, could the assertion be rriade
on ourpart; that we have consider
ed the murders of Indians the fame
as the murders of whites, and have
utter extirpation of nearly all th^
Indians in most populous parts of
the Union. A future hiftoriari
may mark the causes of this de
ftrudion of the human race in fa
ble colors. Although the prefect
government of the United States
cannot with propriety be involved
in the Opprobrium, yet it teems
necefiary however in order to ren
der their attention upon this fub
jed strongly charadede of their
just ice, that some powerful at
tempts should be made to tran
. quiHize the frontiers, particularly
those fouth of the Ohio £ The fic
uation of the tettlements oti Cum
berland loudly demand the inter
ference and protediori of govern
ment. It Mjtue some unauthor
ized,^jFenfi^e operations have pro
ceeded from thence against the
lower Cherokee towns, and vidims
were facrificed. Whether these
yidinis were all warriors, or whe
ther women and children were not
involved in the dellrndion, ieems
to merit f inquiry.
Upon the rqoft mature refle^diort
thefubfenberhas been able to be
stow upon this fubjed, afifing
from the experience of several
g obteryacion thereof, he hum
bly conceives all attempts to pre
. terve the peace with the Indian
tribes will be found inadequate#
Ihort of. an arrangement fomewtiac
like the following, to wit :
1. That a line of military pods,'
-'at filth diftanceS as fliaH be di
reded, be eftablilhed upon the
frontiers within the Indian boun
dary, and out of the ordinary ju
rifdidioh ofl any flare# provided
cdfitent can be obtained fdr the
pUrpofe ^om atty at the Indian
tribes that thele pofls.be garrison.
? ied with regular trQops, under the
' difrdion of the. frefident of the
United States..
2dly. That if any murder or
«theft.be; comniitred upon any of
the white,, innabitants by ah ln
v.pitap;knQwn to belqng, to. any In
jdian.nation or tribe; fubh natron
, r or tribe shall be bound to deliver
\biip.(tt;^^ tbthe nearest mi
order to be tried apd
pupiihed by tenure martiai or in
failure thereof, th? tlnited Stages
♦ will take fatisfadion upon the
nearest Indian town belonging to
such or • Uibe.. -
Li
fhal| be af&nblecl ar embomediin
cific conduct in preference to a
hostile one with the Indian tribes.
The United Statescan get nothing
by an Indian war, but they rifque
men,.money and reputation.. As
we are more powerful and more
enlightened than they are, th^re
is a responsibility of national cha
ra&er; that we should treat them
wkh kindness and eveh liberality.
It & a mehncfioly refledion# that
our modes of papulation have
been more deftrudive to the In
dian natives than the conftud of
the conquerors of Mexico and Pe-
ru. The evidence of this is the
