“ This infhnt there are recent accounts
from Lc Bceut and Fort Franklin*—they
are almost certain of a war with the fix
Ulriohs of Indians. Every one represent*
tbe conduct of the iadtvictuals of them as
uncommonly inlolent and arrogant.' It is
laid by the man who came from Fort
Franklin,' that there are 12 or T 5 Indians
irum Sando&y, lying in the neighborhood
of that place, under the pretence of being
peaceable, but luppofed to be waiting the
rdultof the treaty, to commence hbftility,
and to influence others to join them. Should
they go to war, preparations ought to be
made to iupport the gar ri lon at Le Boeuf.”

land office was another channel through
t which our money was conveyed into the
Treafory of this commonwealth, and from
thence very little ever returned to us again
so that we were left bare of calh .and the
gres'tft number of Us who had not land,
were unable to buy, and were prevented
from fettling North weft of the rivers Ohio
and Ar>egh«ny, by laws that provided a
gain ft any man holding land there by im
provemen’, and the men who attempted to
build and improve, were driven off by firm
ed men and their hoofer burned with fire.
The people thus prevented from t iking up
lands, were anxious to ent' r into lome kird
of bvfinefs, to procure money, or other
property wberewith-to buy ; and st
wiufkty, &c. were more portable than any
other produce of our country, many of the
people enteied into that branch of business,
so that it became general, that when any
’ thing wfe# fold, it was ftipufated that the
payment ihould be made in whifhey uhus
for want of money whiikey became the
circulating currency, of that country, and
many of the manufaflurers thereof amused
from their intentions oJ. fettling over the
rivers Ohio and Alleghany, thus the popu*,
lat 00 was prevented, and a very fpscio.j .
and valuable trad of country hit uninhab
