THE TREATY.
TO THE WELL DISPOSED PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
Fellow Citizens.
BEFORE I proceed to consider the third article of the treaty, it may not be unnecessary, or improper, to suggest more explicitly, an idea which heretofore I have tacitly supposed existed in the mind of every man. It is—that the complaints on the part of the United States, against Great Britain for infractions of the treaty of 1783, had been brought to a point by the spoliations on our commerce, and encroachments on our territory; and that by this acerbion and combination of grievances, a crisis had been produced in our affairs, which forbade our submitting any longer under those grievances. I say, so pressing had been the calls upon government from these causes, that it became indispensably necessary to insist with more than common solicitude on a fulfilment of the treaty of 1783; and also for a redress of those more recent injuries. In the history of nations, it is well known, that there are but two leading modes by which the injured can obtain redress from the injuring nation. The one is, by negotiation and a treaty, by which an accommodation and satisfaction takes place. The other is, by way of reprisal and war. Good policy, dictated by, both a sense of justice and harmony, as well as by a regard to the general interest of the United States, induced the executive, in the first place, to seek redress in the first mode mentioned, rather than leave it to be sought for in the doubtful events of the latter. Knowing at the same time, that if he failed of success, he should at least have discharged his duty to his country—and that an appeal to arms was always within her power. For if those who had injured us, would on application do us justice, what more should we ask? If they would agree, in a peaceable way, by the operation of legal remedies, to compensate for the injuries which they had committed; were we not bound in reason and justice, to accept that agreement? And where there were mutual injuries, a mutual compensation should be stipulated. There were mutual complaints between Great Britain and the U. States. Pursuant to these principles, an envoy was appointed—a negotiation has taken place—a treaty has been formed—by which those differences are accommodated—those injuries agreed to be compensated—with, I believe, one exception only, that relates to our claim for negroes, which we say were carried away contrary to the treaty of peace 1783; but which they say were not carried away contrary to that treaty. To state the question then, arising on the present state of things, upon the broadest basis, as it respects the present treaty—it will stand thus: Shall we accept the treaty—or, rejecting the treaty—shall we hush our complaints, and in silence submit to the injuries we have received—or ultimately, shall we attempt redress by reprisal and war? One of these three things, I take to be unavoidable. But we may fairly narrow this ground, by supposing, as I believe all parties are agreed, that we should not any longer submit to the injuries we have received. The question then really is: Shall we accept the treaty? Or reject it, & go to war with England for re-
dress? Those on whose mind this idea makes the proper impression, will know how to weigh the objections which are made to the treaty; they will know how to appreciate the arguments in its favour.
Having made these observations, I shall now proceed to state, and consider the the third article in the proposed treaty.
“Article 3d. It is agreed that it shall at all times be free to his majesty's subjects, and to the citizens of the United States; and also to the Indians dwelling on either side of the said boundary line, freely to pass and repass by land or inland navigation into the respective territories and countries of the two parties on the continent of America; [the territory within the limits of the Hudson's bay company only excepted] and to navigate all the lakes, rivers and waters thereof. But it is understood that this article does not extend to the admission of vessels of the United States, into the seaports, harbours or creeks of his majesty's said territories, nor into such parts of the Rivers in his Majesty's said territories, as are between the mouth thereof, and the highest port of entry from the sea; except in small vessels trading bona fide between Montreal and Quebec, under such regulations as shall be established to prevent the possibility of any frauds in this respect. Nor to the admission of British vessels from the sea into the rivers of the United States, beyond the highest ports of entry for foreign vessels from the sea. The river Mississippi shall however, according to the treaty of peace, be entirely open to both parties; and it is further agreed that all the ports and places on its eastern side, to whichsoever of the parties belonging, may freely be resorted to and used by both parties in as ample a manner as any of the Atlantic ports or places of the United States, or any of the ports or places of his majesty in Great Britain.
“All goods and merchandise, whose importation into his majesty's said territories in America, shall not be entirely prohibited, may freely for the purpose of commerce, be carried into the same in the manner aforesaid by the citizens of the United States, and such goods and merchandise shall be subject to no higher or other duties than would be payable by his majesty's subjects, on the importation of the same from Europe into the said territories. And in like manner, all goods and merchandise, whose importation into the United States shall not be wholly prohibited, may freely for the purposes of commerce, be carried into the same in the manner aforesaid by his majesty's subjects, and such goods and merchandise shall be subject to no higher or other duties than would be payable by the citizens of the United States, on the importation of the same in American vessels into the Atlantic ports of the said States. And all goods not prohibited to be exported from the said territories respectively, may in like manner be carried out of the same by the two parties respectively, paying duty as aforesaid. No duty of entry shall ever be levied by either party on peltries brought by land, or inland navigation into the said territories respectively; nor shall the Indians passing or repassing with their own proper goods and effects of whatever nature, pay for the same any import or duty whatever. But goods in bales, or other large packages unusual among Indians, shall not be considered as goods belonging bona fide to Indians. No higher or other tolls or rates of ferrage than what are or shall
be payable by natives, shall be demanded on either side; and no duties shall be payable on any goods which shall merely be carried over any of the portages or carrying places on either side, for the purpose of being immediately re-embarked and carried to some other place or places.
“As this article is intended to render in a great degree the local advantages of each party common to both, and thereby to promote a disposition favourable to friendship and good neighbourhood, it is agreed that the respective governments will mutually promote this amicable intercourse by causing speedy and impartial justice to be done, & necessary protection to all who may be concerned therein.”
It is observable, that this article is intended to open a friendly intercourse of inland trade and navigation, between the two parties. It has nothing to do with the external or maritime commerce between the two nations.
To this article many objections have been made, and remonstrances offered; but nevertheless, I conceive it to be a most valuable article, as highly conducive to peace and friendship, between the subjects of Great Britain and the citizens of the United States; and that without it, the treaty would indeed have been greatly defective. Let us for a moment, suppose it made no part of the treaty, and that upon our getting possession of the ports, all intercourse was prohibited, between the parties. What would be the probable effects of such a restraint? Is it not unfriendly, and hostile in its very aspect? And how could it possibly be otherwise in its consequences? Such restraint, without the means of enforcing it would be nugatory. Those means must be either to punish the intruders of the restraint immediately, where the offender was caught; or mediately, upon complaint to the government of which the offender was a subject or citizen. It is needless to say what would be the consequence of this, because it is too plainly indicative of transgression, abuse, complaint, ill will, and open rupture, to be mistaken.
Again, the two parties, as competitors in the Indian trade, would be open, or secret rivals, or enemies. Without intercourse, they would be opposed in point of interest, & mutually jealous of each other: What would be their probable conduct? Each in their own respective territory would be under no restraint from the laws of the other: Would they not mutually invite the Indians over the line? Would they not carest them, and instill prejudices in the minds of the Indians against each other? Would they not have agents on both sides among the Indians, for this purpose? They most certainly would—and how would it be prevented? Each conscious of their own conduct and design, would ever suspect the other. And should an Indian do any mischief to one party, the other would instantly be accused as the cause. One party would attempt to punish the other to defend the aggressor. From such a state of things, what but enmity, and incessant hostility could be expected?
Again, in a commercial point of view, such a restrained state of things, would be most illiberal and absurd. While British subjects, and all the world are permitted freely to enter the Atlantic ports and places, for trade and commerce, why should any be excluded from the western ports or places for like purposes? Surely no good reason can be given. Suppose it had been a question in the Senate,
whether while the subjects of Gt. Britain are freely admitted into all the Atlantic ports, they should be excluded from the western ports? And the Senate had determined that they should be freely received into the one, and excluded from the other:—What do you imagine would be the language of these fault-finders? Did you ever hear the administration accused of partiality? Did you ever hear the eastern members charged with views inimical to the growth, improvement, and prosperity of this country? And although, as far as my observation goes, I believe all this to have been totally without foundation; yet what might not have been said, and what would not have been said, had such a distinction deliberately have taken place? And would our modern patriots have let slip such an opportunity? What attention then is due to this tribe, when they would clamour on both sides of a proposition? When if any nation had been excluded from our western ports, they would have complained, and with justice; will they still be countenanced by the people, when they complain if the British subjects, who are yet the only ones who have manifested a disposition to enter into those ports, are permitted to do so?
But let us change this view of the subject, and turn to the article now under contemplation. It is there we shall find a free intercourse permitted upon principles of liberality. I know it has been objected to this article, That the exception of the country within the limits of the Hudson's Bay company, was improper, and ought not to have been submitted to. As an answer to this, it is sufficient to say, that the country within those limits as to trade, if not soil, has long since been granted by a charter of monopoly, to a particular company; and that even British subjects cannot trade there without the permission of that company. It is not unreasonable then, that American citizens should be excluded from it. It has been said that this article prohibits American citizens from taking fish in certain ports and harbours stipulated in the treaty of 1783. The absurdity of this objection will be manifest, upon a recollection that the right of American citizens to take fish in those places, is secured to them by the treaty before alluded to, and comparing that treaty with the present; which is merely restrictive of a new right, and no abridgement of a former one.
But the great objection to this article is, that it wants reciprocity. In as much, as we have let the British into a greater extent of territory; and into more rivers and ports, than they have let us into. Supposing this to be true—what does it amount to? It amounts to this—that we should have made a survey of their territory, and also of ours; and then have let them into just so much of ours, as they let us into of theirs, and no more. But where should we have thrown off the surplus? And again, that we should have counted the number of our ports and rivers; and also the number of theirs; and that then we should have restrained them to the same number in our territory, that they open to us, in their territory. But which of our rivers should they have been permitted to navigate—from which should they have been excluded? Which of our ports should they have been permitted to enter—from which should they have been prohibited? And how would such partiality to our own citizens have been justified? What would then have come of that part of our soft-

situation which requires that no preference should be given to one port over another? I require that those who make the above objection would answer these questions. Indeed this objection when thus analyzed and shewn in detail appears to me equally absurd, and ridiculous. If reciprocity in commerce consists in extent of territory, and the number of ports, and rivers which each party opens to the other, I imagine there is no such thing in existence. I have not heard that the United States ever made a survey of France, Holland, Prussia, or Sweden, to ascertain the extent of territory, or the number of rivers, and ports, into which her citizens were admitted; or that she ever entertained an idea of retreating the subjects or citizens of these several countries to an equal extent of territory—and number of rivers, and ports, yet it is certain, these countries are certain, these countries are of unequal extent; and that they have not an equal number of rivers, and ports. Yet these treaties are not that I have heard defective in reciprocity. But in treating with another nation, reciprocity has another meaning, and it is to be adjusted by circles of latitude, and longitude, and by arithmetical exactness, of numerals. In considering the objections to this treaty, I am frequently ready to exclaim, ah! men of faction, friends of anarchy, enemies, and willful subverters of the federal government! how noisy in clamor and abuse, how weak in reason and argument, appear all your objections! But I have promised a dispassionate investigation, and I forbear.
H. MARSHALL.
[To be continued.]
MR. BRADFORD,
IN answer to Mr. Marshall's address to you respecting my refusal to publish his observations on the treaty lately formed between America and Great Britain, I wish through your paper, to lay before the public, a short statement of facts, and my reasons for refusing to continue the publication.
When I received his first number, I thought from its length, that I might insert his observations on this subject, without neglecting the duty I owe the public, of furnishing them weekly with all the interesting intelligence I can collect; but, upon the receipt of his second number, and of an answer to the first number, signed "A Freeman," and finding that they both promised a continuation of their observations, I found that it would be impossible with the number of hands which I have now in employ to continue the publication of these papers, and also discharge what I considered as my duty to my customers. Thus situated, I informed Mr. Marshall, that I should be willing to devote two columns of each of my papers to his remarks, even if it had occupied that portion of it for six months. Mr. Marshall left it to me to determine whether I would continue the publication or not, and as I found upon an examination of his three first numbers which he had sent me, that if his observations were as long as the other articles of the treaty, that two columns a week would not have contained them in twenty months, I declined them altogether.
In consequence of this, I also declined publishing the "Freeman," although I had acknowledged the receipt of it, and promised it a place in my paper, until the author demanded as a matter of right that I should publish his first number, as it was only an answer to that number of Mr. Marshall's which had appeared in my paper: And I have declined continuing that publication also.
As a Freeman I shall always take the liberty of thinking for myself on all public matters, and of despising any public servant, however dignified his station, who shall act in a manner inconsistent
with the true interests of his country; but as a printer, I will always insert any observations on public measures which are of a reasonable length. I have been taught to believe, that no individual or individuals, however fond they may be of their own productions, have a right to monopolize a public paper, to the exclusion of matter which may be more useful, agreeable and interesting to the public.
JAMES H. STEWART. Lexington, October 9, 1795.
To the Honorable George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian.
HAVING notified you in a pamphlet addressed to you in answer to one written by yourselves, that if you would be more specific in certain charges therein alleged against me, that they should be answered; I did expect that you would have exhibited those charges specifically—stating particularly the fact or facts, on which they were founded, and the testimony in each particular case. This not yet having been done, nor as far as I know, intended to be done by you; I take this method to call on you,—And I require of you, to exhibit under your signatures, the facts, and evidence (since if there be any, they are in your possession) on which those charges against me personally are founded, that I may know how to meet them, and to defend myself against them; thinking it improper to take any further notice of them in their present shape; tho' the malice of my enemies, sanctioned by your authority, should continue to reverberate them against me. If you have any sense of justice remaining you will comply with this request; otherwise you must be content to receive the imputation due to the vilest calumniators.
I desire to have those charges brought forward in the manner above stated, before the first of next month, at which time I shall leave this state on business.
Mr. Bradford is requested to give this a weekly publication in his paper until the first of November, unless I shall be sooner notified that your honors will comply with this call.
And I further notify those who may feel themselves affected, that I mean to expose to public view the decree of the court and the points upon which it was given between General Wilkinson and myself.
I am gentlemen, your very humble serv't. H. MARSHALL.

BOSTON, Aug. 31.
True Statement of Facts
IT is right that the people should have a comparative statement of the numbers and characters of the persons who have hitherto appeared for and against the pending Treaty.
In Boston, there cannot be supposed a less number of persons than two thousand against it. The Chamber of Commerce, consisting of short of one hundred, and others amounting on an extreme calculation, to perhaps two hundred more, are in favor of it—and in fact would be in favor of any thing, that would secure the funds and facilitate transfers and speculation of stock to British merchants. Three hundred in this town, is a smaller number than the enemies to the revolution consisted of, as the addresses to Governor Hutchinson will prove.
In New-York, there may be three, four or even five hundred persons in favor of the British Treaty; but there are as many thousands against it. Let Gen. Washington recollect the state of parties in that city in the late war, and he must wonder Great-Britain has now so few friends there.
In Philadelphia, there may be six hundred in favor of the said treaty. But what was the strength of that interest in that city, when Washington, felt himself in an enemy's country during the campaign of 76 and 77—Let him recollect the names and influence of Galloway, the Allens, Willing and a host of others—the insults he received there; the mischievous recall and victories; and a disgrace of the American Army—Let the President pass the Delaware to the south, and see the immense column of opponents to the British politics, influence, measures, and connexions—Let him observe the hollow selfish principles of his new friends but ancient enemies. Let him call over the illustrious roll of his late army; the Cincinnati, and the soldiers; how many of them are against it; and how few in favor of it. Let him look to the Yeomanry of Massachusetts; those who fought and bled to save him personally from the last stages of disgrace and humiliation. These are the persons and characters, against the Treaty. The persons in favor of it, hung like a dead weight on the revolution and were dragged along with it, instead of doing a single thing to promote it. Sir, these are your new Friends—Where are your old?

Lexington. October 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nashville, to his correspondent in this place, dated September 15
"The news from this country is not worth relating, except that of the Creeks and Chickasaws, continuing the war, notwithstanding the first having given the strongest assurance of peace, and requested the Governor of this territory to send an agent to the Chickasaws, with their peace talk (which they had sent in) and receive the prisoners they had taken from them. In consequence of which requisition Gen. Robertson, was directed to go forward, to communicate the talks and take charge of the prisoners. Whether the talks were meant as a deception is not yet known, but the morning after Gen. Robinson arrived, a body of Creeks supposed to be upwards of one hundred, appeared and fired upon the Chickasaw towns. The latter sustained no injury, they being in their forts—it is not yet known whether the others received any damage or not. In consequence of this, the Chickasaws peremptorily refused giving up the prisoners, or listening to any of their talks, and are putting themselves in a situation to repel the force of the Creeks, which threatens them with such impending danger."
LA FAYETTE.
The Courier Universal, a Paris paper, of the 20th of June, has the following article—"The German Gazettes have announced, that the king of Prussia has caused the French prisoners at Magdeburg & Spandau to be released. M. de la Fayette and his companions in misfortune, Bureau de Puzi, and Alexander Lameth, were in one of these fortresses."
Extract of a letter from London dated June 25.
There are riots all over this country; several of the soldiers have been shot for joining the mob and serious riots are expected soon; 20,000 soldiers are placed in and about London, as government is alarmed by the numerous meeting of the correspondent society.—God only knows where these things will end. However the Tower guns are now firing, on account of a victory obtained lately over the French fleet, this serves to raise our drooping spirits and I fear will prompt us to prosecute this destructive war.

Mr. BRADFORD :
IT was a matter of surprise to many of your readers, as our worthy Senator was the only friend they knew or had heard of in Kentucky to Jay's treaty, to find another writer in your paper supporting the same sentiments, which that Senator was sending into the world through Stewart's Herald ; but on examination of the sentiments expressed in the two papers, has convinced them that they were under a mistake, and that this worthy Senator was still in different shapes, and under different characters, the only advocate in this state, of that most infamous production. Having no doubt in my mind, that he is the author of the remarks on the proceedings of the Lexington meeting, I shall consider him as such, in my answer to some of his observations.
He calls upon the meeting to point out to him verbatim, "the terms and conditions shameful to the American name" which are contained in the treaty. This request cannot be complied with, unless we were to insert the treaty at large, for there is scarcely an article in it, which does not contain terms or conditions shameful to the American name ; and if he was not callous to every feeling which ought to operate on an honest mind, the universal abhorrence in which he is held by his countrymen for having voted for its ratification, would convince him, that they understand the articles sufficiently, without having them so often repeated to them as he wishes they should be.
Whatever language may have been used in the treaty with France is immaterial : because at that time we had not been considered, by other nations as an independent nation ; because from the treaty's styling us the subjects of the United States, it is evident that the language of the treaty was adapted to our former character, and the opinions which then prevailed in Europe ; because that treaty did in substance convey very different terms, from what Jay's does ; and because when Jay's treaty was made we had a right to expect to be treated, with as much respect as any other independent nation ought to receive. It would have been the height of folly for the American commissioners, to have demanded from the French king in 1778, the same marks of respect which the British minister ought to have shown to our nation in 1794. He endeavors to prove that the treaty of peace of 1783 and Jay's treaty, have placed the right to navigate the Mississippi, on the same footing, and to shew this, has quoted the clause respecting it in the treaty of 1783, and a part of the clause on the same subject in Jay's treaty ; but he has designedly omitted a part of the clause in Jay's treaty, which is in these words, "And it is further agreed that all the ports and places on its Eastern side to whichsoever of the parties belonging, may freely be resorted to and used by both parties in as ample a manner as any of the Atlantic ports or places of the United States, or any of the ports or places of his majesty in Great Britain." This was adding by this treaty stipulations not contained in the former one, which were entirely in favor of the British and injurious to the Americans ; but for further reasoning on this subject, I refer to the Lexington address to the president. This unfair and false recital of Jay's treaty, on so important a subject, must prove that he is conscious, it cannot be supported by fair reasoning, and that he will endeavor to do it at any hazard.
He says, "That the idea of reparation for the detention of the Western posts though a plausible idea would be difficult to obtain." Would any man really a friend to his country call this a plausible idea only ? Would a real friend to Ken-
tucky, much of whose best blood has been lost by the consequences of that detention, have hesitated to say, that such a demand would have been just and ought to have been complied with ? That it would have been difficult for Jay to obtain it, I shall readily admit, as he had not spirit to demand it : but the very circumstance of his not having demanded it, and caused it to be made a part of the treaty, ought to have been sufficient to prevent its ratification. He denies that Jay's treaty has ceded to British subjects, a part of the American soil, but the fact is clearly against him. By the treaty of 1783, the Western posts were acknowledged to be the right of America, and Great Britain promised to give them up : notwithstanding this promise, she retained possession of them until 1794, and settled her subjects in them and their vicinity. By Jay's treaty it is agreed that these posts shall be given up, on or before the 1st of June 1796, but it is also declared that "All settlers and traders within the precincts or jurisdiction of the said posts shall continue to enjoy, unmolested, all their property of every kind, and shall be protected therein. They shall be at full liberty to remain there, or to remove with all or any part of their effects ; and it shall also be free to them, to sell their lands houses or effects, or to retain the property thereof at their discretion," from this it is evident, Jay's treaty has given up a part of the American soil, to British subjects, because there can be no doubt but that the right to the soil, "Within the precincts or jurisdiction of the said posts," was by the treaty of 1783, vested in the United States ; when therefore Jay's treaty secures to the settlers within the precincts or jurisdiction of the said posts, liberty to enjoy or sell the lands, which they then held (although they might have derived their title from the king of Great Britain since 1783) it evidently gives up to British subjects part of the American soil.
His observation on the expression used by the meeting, that the negroes were "plundered and carried off" in violation of the treaty of 1783 is beneath contempt, because the evident meaning of the sentence was, the negroes who had been first plundered and then carried off in violation of that treaty. But the subsequent part of that clause is of a more serious nature, and deserves a different kind of answer. He says, "but I imagine that such negroes and other property as were carried away contrary to that treaty, may, for any thing in this treaty be the subject of further dispute—negotiation—or war—if a doubtful claim to twelve or fifteen hundred negroes be worth either." Could it have been believed that an American Senator, would have publicly held such language as this ; it is adding insult to injury. He has first voted for a treaty which has totally omitted all mention of satisfaction to the owners, for the negroes carried away, in violation of the treaty ; and now he says "He imagines &c." thus avowing with Jay, that he thinks a right fixed by treaty is at least a doubtful right ; taunting the owners of the slaves with the idea that there is a possibility, that this right may be the subject of another treaty, although it has been omitted in this, because it is not forbid by this : at the same time giving it as his opinion that such a right to 1200 or 1500 negroes carried away contrary to the treaty of 1783 would not be worth either further dispute, negotiation or war. Human patience has its limits, and although public considerations, have hitherto prevented him from receiving that personal chastisement, which he has so richly merited, a few more such observations would make it necessary for every honest man, to administer it to him. He has also in this instance falsely stated the number to be 1200 or 1500
contrary to his better knowledge, for the papers which were laid before the Senate proved that 3000 negroes, a list of whom had been taken, had been carried off contrary to the treaty, besides great numbers that had been concealed by the British, to prevent them from being included in those lists.
The American Senator then declares, that the representation of the conduct of the British made by the Lexington Meeting "is but one side of the story" What could a British agent have said more ? & what reliance ought to be placed in a representative who speaks thus of the just complaints of his country, against her bitterest enemies ? but his feelings are also much hurt at the abuse (as he calls it) which is given to that nation. His affection for the British must be very great indeed, when he relents injuries of that sort offered to them, & is silent as to the torrents of reproach both public and private, with which he is himself daily loaded. He then closes his remarks by again threatening us with a war, if we do not tamely submit to every thing, which Britain and her secret friends and emissaries shall require of us. This has been the uniform language of the British nation ever since the peace ; they have done us every injury in their power, and yet claimed the character of being merciful for not having done us more : always letting us know, that if we complained of the injuries we had received, we should suffer much greater. It is no new thing for us to be bullied by that nation, but it is a fight to which we have not yet been accustomed, to see an American Senator, avow himself the partizan, and turn out as the puff and champion of that bullying nation.
For God's sake, Mr. Bradford, find out and tell us what materials this man is made of. There must be something in his composition, different from what is to be found in any other of the human race. No other man could have acted as he has done. Upon his return to this country, after having done every thing in his power to injure it, he was met with the universal curses of his fellow citizens ; those who had voted for him, publicly confessed their error, and declared their repentance of that act ; his friends deserted him ; his acquaintances would not speak to him ; he was obliged to withdraw precipitately from a large meeting of the people ; and every face he saw, spoke a detestation of him. Thus situated, instead of withdrawing himself from public observation ; instead of of waiting a more favorable opportunity of palliating the infamy of his conduct, he comes forward, fills the public prints, with a false but studied justification of himself, and not content with this, attacks every individual and every meeting of free men, who have ventured to give their sentiments of his favorite treaty.
If hereafter his writings should pass as unnoticed as his person now does, let him know that it proceeds from their being equally the objects of contempt.

WHEREAS on the 12th day of February last, I entered into a contract with John Hendricks, of Berkeley county, Virginia, for the sale of a tract of land lying in Clarke county, adjoining the town of Winchester, in the State of Kentucky, for which I received his bonds, the first payable on the 1st day of August, for 500l. the second on the 1st of August, 1797, 100l. and the third on the 1st of August, 1798, 100l.—On the day that the first bond was due, I applied to him for payment, when he requested indulgence until this day, which I complied with, but on calling on him for a discharge of the bond due, he was either not able, or willing, and as he has my bond for a conveyance of the above tract of land, but has not fulfilled the contract on his part, I hereby forewarn all and every person from dealing in any manner with said Hendricks for said tract of land, or taking any assignment on my bond of conveyance aforesaid, as it is null and void, by his twice failing to comply with the tenor of our agreement.
I also forewarn all persons from cutting timber thereon, or removing any timber or stone from the same, or in any manner concerning with the above tract of land, as they shall answer the same at their peril.
