BROTHER,
J[ WAS, in the time of the F.nglilh, a chief of my
nation, and leader moonlit warriors, and lir.ee then
confirmed by the badge l now wear, given me by
the Spaniards, who when they became cur friehd?*
prom led us a iteady luppoft and pr ion, on
every emergency. We accepted the proffered boon,
and preferred the protection you held out, to the
delulive prefents oi the Americans, which unhappily
binds too many of our colour. Noiwiihftaudmg
they endeavoured to deftroy you in our opinion,
tiic example of thole nations protected by you, was
felt by us, and the late of thole that had allowed
tin mfelves to be deluded by the prodigality of the
Americans, could not be concealed from our obter
vation. We could perceive in them the cunning of
the rattle fnake, who carefscs the (quirrel he in
tends to deltroy ; and in you, the friends of Red
men and their intereft. Brother, now that we
know your worth, now that our eves are opened
and that in the fullnefs of our confidence we have
received you in our hearts, and have given you, to
build a fort, a tract of land which we had received
from our fathers, and had fworn to them to pre
fer ve in the ftare in which the matter of breath bud
giver, it to them, arid to preferve which, we have
ihed our blood again ft the French, which we often
refufed to the Knglilh, which we have given to you,
over perfuaded by your promt fes of keeping it, not
only for ti e od vantage accruing to yourfclves, but
as we alfo thereby fecured to onrielves the pobefli.
on of the refr, and a lupply of our wants, whfcll
our own indultry was tucapjble of furniihing.
How conies it, my brother, that you with to le?ve
us at men a critical time, fir mar our great lamer
has given our land* to the Americans, who are de
lirous of nothing but to drive us thence, arid perhaps
kill us as wild beafts. Will he who is the <:au(e of
this look on with indifference, and lee our blood,
of which lie has been fo fparing himlelf, fhed by
others ? if he intended to give away our la»ds why
did lie promile to preserve lhrtn ? Had we not itutt
ed him, we ihould have joined thole nations who
have loft theirs, and like them have faugh* for our
country. Notwithstanding that we (hall do all our
endeavours to oppofe their entrance into our woods
and taking polstflion of our lands; yet we know
we mult laii j yet the attempt is worthy of men.
We have feen the treaty ; it has been read to us irn
our nation, and we obferve that our lather has nor
only abandoned us like the Imailer animals, ’o the
j .ws of the tiger and bear, but he encourages -h-tn
to devour us, by faying if we commit any fault0,
that he will drive us back to our dens, and keep us
there. We know that we 3ienct all good, there
are good and bad among us as amonglt other men.
If a red man happens to commit a crime, you will
complain to the Americans, without knowing the
guilty, and the innocent will fuffer, perh-ps the
ignominious puniilnnent of the lath, as you treat
your flayes. Red men are naturally vindictive ai d
the people fo treated will fetk revenge ; it is then
our ruin is complete ? Alas, perhaps the t uin our
father brings upon us by abandoning our land, may
bring upon himfelf the lols of his own. In our
hunting parties, the Americans go before us, and
make us aihamed, by their exertions, which exceed
ours; they penetrate faither into the country thau
we do, where the filver grows i we meet them dai
ly returning from their hunts, and fame remain
among the Red men of theie countries, in order, no
doubt, to rile and take their lands when a proper
opportunity occurs. Do you think, my brother,
that we do not fee theie things : we have a heart to
feel, eyes to fee, and ears to hear—Where are all
the pronnles made by Gayolo, in the name of our
father ? Are they forgot, becaule we granted ail you
expected ? My nation, who only yielded to my re
prelentation, the land on which you now are, have
they not room to believe me an accomplice of thofe
who abandon them, at fucb a critical moment ? Do
you believe, my brother, that I -rn faf* from their
reproaches or that 1 have not already felt them f
Yes, my brother, they fee the lands which wegave,
and which you now abandon, cannot be defended
by us, as our forts are the woods, and you have
converted it into an open fiejd.
Governor Gayolo writes us, you are a man of
valor named by our father of Orleans, to watch oyer
aud protect os. Why do you not comply with
