Creebepeace with them is only ano
ther name for war as to this dilind.
The whole force of the union is alooft,
fhamefully b^nt agaioft the northern
tribes, in defence of the Kentucky or
Ohio fettlemeots, which tribes are but
a mere banditti compared to the fouxh
ern nations that iofell this dißridl ; nor
is this country of half the ftreugth of
the Ohio settlements ; yet this coun
try is left ro sustain the whole force of
the southern nations, unprotected, -and.
almost unnoticed by the union. The
humanity of the Gbvernout has afford
ed what temporary pro<t&ion was in
his power, which can be but small, as
^imoft every part of this territory is
equally a frontier, but not equally
hartaffed, which enables him to lend a
few men zoo miles, from the eafiern
part of the territory, to the affifance of
this distressed country.
The.goods for the treaty have this
day arrived fafe ; they were fired upon
in the Tenefee, supposed by a party of
Creeks, but no damage done. The
treaty, I expea,will begin to-morrow;
there art about 600 Indians upon the
ground, nioftiy Chicafaws ; the Spa
rifh influence was exerted to prevent
the Chocktaws from coming in ; it,
in some measure, had the denied efted,
as only-about iioof them are here ;
the nation is notwithstanding, well
disposed to the Americans ; I have re
newed my enquiries as to the strength
of the above nanon, to the Creeks,
and find my former flatemcnt to your
Excellency, to have beep accurate,and
may be relied on,and the use may also
be made of these people on a certain
emergency, as in a foimer letter I ac
quainted you could.
