FELLOW CITIZENS,
WE are informed, that an unsuccessful attempt has lately been made, by a considerable number of the members of our legislature, to procure the removal from office two of the judges of the court of Appeals; and that two or three justices of the peace have actually been removed, in consequence of addresses to the governor, from both branches of the legislature. From which it appears, that this mode of proceeding is likely to become very fashionable in Kentucky; therefore its propriety, or impropriety, ought to be accurately investigated and well understood. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches or departments of a free government, are all the servants of their sovereigns, the people, by whom the powers with which they are invested were delegated to them; and nothing is more dangerous to the good order and well-being of a private family, or public community, than that one fellow servant should exercise any controul over another fellow servant, with which he is not intrusted by his master. It is well known to every politician, that it is peculiarly fatal to a free government, to any of its branches to usurp an ascendancy over another co-ordinate branch—and that this is generally done under the sanction of apparent constitutional form.
My fellow citizens, it behoves us, without delay, to have recourse to the constitution, and to the principles of free government on which it is founded, to ascertain, whether, in the cases to which I have alluded, our servants in the legislative and executive departments, have been, with fidelity, executing a trust which we have reposed in them; or whether, as proud, malicious or ignorant usurpers, they have been wantonly lording it over their fellow servants in the judiciary. This investigation is the more necessary, because, on the independence, integrity, and skill of the judiciary, we immediately depend, for the security of our lives, liberty, property and constitution and men possessed of these qualifications, will disdain to accept or hold an office, which will subject them to be the servants of servants.
By our constitution, article IV. section 3, 'All civil officers are liable to impeachment for any misdemeanor in office; and judgment in such cases, may extend to removal from office, and disqualification to hold any office under the Commonwealth'— injury omitting to exercise, as well as wilfully perverting the power reposed in them, must, for the advancement of justice and the public good, be construed misdemeanors intended by the constitution. By section 1, of the same article, 'The House of Representatives' as (See last Page.)

BALTIMORE, January 19. The following important letter, dated Paris Nov. 6, to a com- mercial house in this town, was obligingly handed to the print- ers last evening.
PARIS, Nov. 6.
Dear Sir,
It is with great pleasure that we announce to you the good news of this republic having made peace with Prussia. We have it from the most undoubted authority, from a gentleman on the spot, that on the 12th ult. the treaty was signed at Neufchatel, in Switzerland.
We have reason also to assure you, that the articles of a treaty of peace between France, Spain and Sardinia are now framing, so that any further hostilities between those powers, are now at an end or near it. Germany has sued for peace a long time since but she finds a great unwillingness to ac- cept of the conditions France holds out to her. Austria will be oblig- ed to humble the eagle's pride and swallow the republican dose, otherwise her triple crown will be, reduced. There is no doubt but the Rhine will be the line of divi- sion; and thus German Flanders will be added to France, and the right arm of the seven provinces cut off.
Holland under these circumstan- ces, can but look despondingly on her impotent allies, and accept of what may in mercy be granted her —And.
Great Britain may send forth her windy threats and impotent ven- geance for a few months longer. The only hope left her is of having the whole force of this great peo- ple, with all their power and en- ergy, thrown against her next year, in such a manner that pro- bably a total ruin of that proud and imprudent nation will be the consequence, unless a second pir- atical capture of defenceless Amer- ican ships should support her. The new adopted idea here is peace with all the world, except Great Britain, and the most strict friendship with the American states.
From this prospect of things, we thought it our duty to counsel you not to speculate in wheat or flour, or in the hire or purchase of ves- sels, for this country. The go- vernment of Sweden and Denmark have warranted all that shall be carried from their countries, and in their own vessels, against the seizure of Great Britain or the en- emies of France, so that we shall receive most of those articles from thence and, at a cheaper rate, both freights and cargoes, than we could possibly have them from your states. The Hanseatic towns have done as much, and these furnish double the quantity of flour and wheat that can possibly be brought from America, and in a tenth part of the time. You see therefore, that if the great war was to continue, this country will not be in want of any of your assistance this year. We hope you have not speculated in the hire of vessels, as they have fallen from eighty four to fifty shillings.
The stoppage of paying the freight and cargoes in specie con- tinue still; how long it will re- main so we cannot say. You may depend on it however, that the in- tentions of France is good towards Americans, and that friendly jus- tice will be done.
With usual esteem and regard Dear Sir, your humble servant.
Lexington, February 21.
Nothing could more clearly evinced the prudence and public spirit of many of our Kentucky farmers, than the zeal with which they are forwarding the scheme of opening a direct road to Vir- ginia. Their conduct will mani- fest that in a republican country, good sense and patriotism are so
much the common qualifications of every class of citizens, that if the legislature should occasion- ally be inattentive to the pub- lic wants, it will be productive of no permanent ill effects, but will readily be made amends for by the foresight and activity of an en- lightened people.
The readiness to support the plan, which is discovered in the country, is precisely what we had reason to expect:—for if there be any set of men who are peculiarly interested in the undertaking, it is unquestionably the farmers. It is they who ultimately feel all the in- conveniences of the present round- about way to Philadelphia, and they pay dearly for them, in all the articles of merchandise which they use. But they must shortly feel the disadvantages of their si- tuation much more sensibly. When there will be no army in our neighbourhood to consume the produce of our luxuriant soil, no freely flowing watercourse to bear it to distant countries; we must either drive our cattle to places where there will be a demand for them,—or be contented to drag out a comfortless being,—feeding on their flesh and wrapping ourselves in their skins. But this is a state of things which we shall never be able to submit to:—and could it happen that the present proposal for opening a road should fail; we should ere five years had pas- sed, see the most respectable farm- ers in Kentucky working with their own hands in order to accomplish it: for ere that time the only means we should have of effecting it, would be by personal labor, as money would in a great degree have disappeared. The present time, therefore, must be of all times the most proper for making our best exertions; and our fellow citizens cannot sufficiently com- mend the wisdom of those who are diligent in improving it.
Extracts from a letter from a gen- tleman in London, dated Octo- ber 25, 1794, to a citizen of this state.
“I send you inclosed a list of the prisoners to be tried for high treason, merely that you may know their names. Their trial on a spe- cial commission begins to-morrow. We hope they will all be delivered, as we believe all to be innocent of the guilt of high treason for which they are indicted. But there is no saying what witnesses may be brought to alledge, or juries to de- cide.
“We still seem resolved to con- tinue the most impolitic and fatal war we ever engaged in, (that a- gainst America excepted:) and the reason that some are so weak as still to give, is that there is no pow- er in France with which to treat; as in the American war it was al- ledged that the king could not treat or make terms with his own subjects before their own submissi- on to him.
“I am sorry to be, perhaps, the messenger of some news concern- ing Mr. Russel late of Birmingham and his family, which you will be sorry for. The 12th of August, they embarked in a vessel, which he had chartered to go to Boston. But the captain deceived him and thro' some pretence, failed so as to put them in the way of being cap- tured by a French frigate, who carried them into Brest, where they were put into custody but not ill treated. But his character, however, being known, and the interest of the American Ambassa- dor and Mr. Jay here, with their Ambassador at Paris, we have no doubt of his being liberated by this time: but communications with that country and this are now very difficult and precarious.
“I hope the commotion in Amer- ica about the affair of the new ex- cise, which has risen very high since yours to me, is in a way to be composed, and without bloodshed.
There is but two great a disposi- tion in yours to imitate the mother country and adopt her methods, of which this of the excise and of our poor laws, are too glaring instan- ces. The papers say that the En- glish foment these divisions, but if so, I trust they will be disappoint- ed.”
On the 31st of December, Gene- ral HENRY KNOX, resigned the of- fice of Secretary of the United States for the department of War —And TIMOTHY PICKERING, late Post-Master general, is appointed to that important office.
The following paragraphs are select- ed out of an Address from the U- nited Irishmen to Dr. Priestly, one of those fellows (as they are called by a Tory London Paper quoted in our last) whom such governments as the British, are glad to get rid of.
SIR,
SUFFER a Society which has been calumniated as devoid of all sense of religion, law, or mo- rality, to sympathize with one, whom calumny of a similar kind is about to drive from his native land, a land which he has adorned and enlightened in almost every branch of liberal literature, and of useful philosophy. The emigration of Doctor Priestly, will form a strik- ing historical fact, by which alone, future ages will learn to estimate truly the temper of the present times. Your departure will not only give evidence of the injury which philosophy and literature have received in your person, but will prove the accumulation of petty disquiétudes, which has rob- bed your life of its zest and enjoy- ment, for at your age no one would willingly embark on such a voy- age, and sure we are, it was your wish and prayer to be buried in your native country, which con- tains the dust of your old friends, Saville, Price, Jebb, and Fother- gill. But be chearful dear Sir, you are going to a happier world —the world of Washington and Franklin.
In idea, we accompany you. We stand near you while you are setting sail. We watch your eyes that linger on the white cliffs, and we hear the patriarchal blessing which your soul pours out on the land of your nativ- ity, the aspiration that ascends to God for its peace, its freedom and its prosperity. Again, do we par- ticipate in your feelings on first be- holding nature in her noblest scenes and grandest features; on finding man busied in rendering himself worthy of nature, but more than all, on contemplating with philo- sophic presence, the coming pe- riod when the vast inland seas shall be shadowed with sails, when the St. Lawrence and Mississippi, shall stretch forth her arms to embrace the continent in a great circle of interior navigation; when the Pa- cific Ocean shall pour into the At- lantic; when man will become more precious than fine gold, and when his ambition shall be to sub- due the elements, not to subjugate his fellow creatures, to make fire, wa- ter, earth and air obey his bidding, but to leave the pure ætherial mind, as the sole thing in nature free and incorcible.
Farewell—great and good man! great by your mental powers, by your multiplied Literary Labours, but greater still by those Household Virtues which form the only solid security for public conduct, by those mild and gentle qualities, which far from being adverse to, are most frequently attended with severe and inflexible patriotism, ri- sing like an Oak above a modest Mansion.—Farewell—but before you go, we beseech a portion of of your parting prayer to the au- thor of Good, for Archibald Ham- ilton Rowan, the pupil of Jebb, our brother now suffering imprison- ment, and for all those who have suffered, and are about to suffer in
the same cause—the cause of impar- tial and adequate representation—the cause of the Constitution. Pray to the best of Beings for Muir, Pal- mer, Skirving, Waugorot, and Ge- rald, who are now, or will shortly be crossing, like you, the bleak O- cean, but to a barbarous land!— Pray that they may be animated with the same spirit which, in the days of their fathers, triumphed at the Stake, and shone in the midst of flames! Melancholy, indeed, it is that the mildest and most hu- mane of all Religions should have ever been so perverted as to hang or burn men in order to keep them of one faith. It is equally melancholy that the most deter- minedly extolled of Civil Consti- tutions should recur to similar modes of coercion, and that hang- ing and burning are not now employed, principally because measures apparently milder, are considered as more effectual. Fare- well! Soon may you embrace your sons on the American Shore, and Washington take you by the hand, and the Shade of Franklin look down, with calm delight, on the first statesman of the age extend- ing his protection to its first Philo- sopher.
March 28, 1794.
Review of some Events of the year 1794.
Poland began to assert her rights and successfully opposed the en- croachments of the neighbouring powers that had before despoiled her of great part of her territory. —The forces of Russia, Austria, and Prussia were baffled and van- quished, in several of their attempts, by the patriotick army under the command of Kociulko.—The king of Prussia, after summoning the king of Poland by the name of brother, to deliver up Warsaw, was obliged to raise the siege, and retreat with the greatest precipi- tation and heavy loss.
A formidable insurrection has also taken place in the dominion of Prussia itself, and threatens to shake that tyrannical government to its base.
Sweden and Denmark were re- duced to the necessity of equip- ping a fleet to defend their com- merce against the British, who cap- tured their vessels, as they did those of the United States, under pretence that they were carrying provisions to France, contrary to the law of nations: for all France, they held, was in a state of siege. Their spirited measures, however had the proper effect, and their trade with France is now unmo- lested.
The Empress of Russia did lit- tle more than talk of joining the combined powers with sea and land forces.
The French drove their enemies from Toulon; but were overcome in Corsica, the crown of which has been accepted by the king of England.
In France and on its confines the armies of the republic have ge- nerally been irresistible. Besides retaking all the places on the east- ern frontier which had been tak- en from them the year before, they have over run great part of the low countries and driven their enemies beyond the Rhine. They have possession of Juliers, Cleve, and Cologne, if not of Am- sterdam itself. They have done more than maintain their ground in Italy; they gained at Cairo, near the Genoese territory, an im- portant victory. In Spain they have taken Bellegarde, St Sebas- tian &c. and have advanced far into the kingdom, so as to threat- en even Madrid. The rebellion in La Vande and other parts has been quelled; and since the over- throw of Robespier's sanguinary faction, justice and moderation have prevailed—Important disco- veries have been made; Agri- cultural has flourished: the telegra- phe has been invented: the ma-

payment of balloons has been made a regular branch of military science, and a company of Aeronautes established—They have adopted a universal and immutable measure of time and quantity, with a decimal division;—and introduced a uniform plan of education in all parts of the republic.
In naval affairs they have been scarcely less distinguished, tho' the British officers claim the victory in one or two sea fights, and boast the capture of many ships of war—The French navy has been greatly and rapidly increased, and their prizes are almost without number. The states of Germany are alarmed, and the treasury of the empire exhausted. The court of Vienna, after the example of Frederick William, has agreed with England for a subsidy equal to the pay of 100,000 men. The treasury of France on the contrary overflows with the confiscations the church plate, and upwards of 60,000,000 of livers levied on the conquered towns in the low countries.
In Geneva a revolution has been effected, and great numbers have been condemned by the revolutionary Tribunal, to banishment, to imprisonment and to death.

ZETTE EXTRA,

the grand jury of inquest for the Commonwealth, 'have the sole power of impeaching.' And by section 2, which immediately follows, 'All impeachments are to be tried by the senate,' as the most proper judicial court, which could be devised, to decide on such cases. And for the greater security of the accused officers, 'when sitting for that purpose, the senators are to be on' special oath or affirmation, and no person can be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.' Thus we find from the constitution, that, by impeachment, judges and justices of the peace, who are civil officers, may be removed from their offices for any misdemeanor therein. And that, from the provisions of the constitution, relative to the manner in which the accusations of misdemeanors in office are to be made, tried and punished, it seems to promise to be equally the safeguard of the innocent, and the scourge of the guilty: more especially, as it is further regulated by an act of the second session of our General Assembly, to which I beg leave to refer you.
But by the constitution, article V. section 2. it is further provided, that 'the judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior; but for any reasonable cause which is not sufficient ground of impeachment, the governor may remove any of them, on the address of two thirds of each branch of the legislature.'
The mode of removing judges from their office, by the executive, on the address of both houses of the legislature, was formerly practiced in England without the solemnity of a regular trial, and, like bills of attainder, seems to have had its foundation in the doctrine of the omnipotence of Parliament; but on the prevalence of more liberal sentiments, both have for a considerable length of time, been disused even in that government. Yet so it is, that on the commencement of American independence, this antiquated and arbitrary mode, was, without restriction, inserted in the constitution of the states of Massachusetts and Delaware. In the present constitution of the state of Pennsylvania, it was, at a later period, and with more deliberation, also inserted and new modeled, so as to wear a greater appearance of propriety. Impeachments are restrained to misdemeanors in office, and the mode of removing judges on address, to 'any reasonable cause which shall not be sufficient ground of impeachment.' From that constitution, it appears to have been transcribed into the constitution of the state of Kentucky; and in both, it ought to receive a construction, which is not only authorized by the expressions made use of, but which is as clearly consistent with the fundamental principles of free government, on which these constitutions are founded. I do not know that this mode of removing judges has yet been practiced in Pennsylvania, or that a law has passed in that state prescribing how it shall be practiced when it becomes necessary there; neither is it material to enquire. It is propriety and not practice, we are in quest of. It is clear from the expressions in our constitution, that no misdemeanor in office will authorize an address. An address must be founded on some other reasonable cause. It is also to be remarked, that judges can only be removed from office by impeachment founded on misdemeanors committed therein. How then are they to be removed from office when they are guilty of other crimes or misdemeanors, which will equally render them unworthy of the public trust reposed in them, or to be associated with upright characters in the execution of that trust?
All such crimes and misdemeanors are certainly to be taken as reasonable causes of removal by address, and to be in the contemplation of the constitution. But a question of infinite importance here arises. How are these crimes and misdemeanors to be ascertained? Certainly not by general report, which is sometimes a false accuser. Not without giving the judge who is accused, a fair trial and opportunity of making his defence; this would contravene an essential right, of which the meanest slave cannot justly be deprived. If the crime or misdemeanor is fixed by a jury in trial at common law, a copy of the record will be an unexceptionable demonstration to the legislature and the Governor of the truth of the charge. They will then only have to decide on the demerit of what is charged. To which may be added, that when the crime or misdemeanor is only charged to have been committed by the judge in his private capacity, none but a jury of his vicinage are his constitutional Peers, by whom he ought to be tried. It may however still be urged, that, as by the constitution, the legislature and governor are to judge of the sufficiency of the cause of address, the trial may as constitutionally and safely be had before them. I reply, that there is a very material difference between judging of the sufficiency of a cause, and the existence of that cause; and those who are acquainted with the true policy of trial by jury, and with the passions and partialities which sometimes reign in legislatures, will pronounce that such a trial of the existence of the alleged cause of address, would not be constitutional, or safe either for the accused judge or the community which he serves. Even in the trial of an impeachment, which is a regular judicial process, our legislature, in the act to which I before referred, have provided, that the Senate shall not pronounce judgment without a jury to ascertain facts. And by another act of the third session of the same legislature, civil courts and judges are prohibited, for a contempt, from fining or imprisoning to any considerable extent, without the verdict of a jury to authorise them. If this is a well devised act, the principles which it holds forth should be pursued in every case, where there is not the most absolute necessity to the contrary. But if, as is commonly believed, it was only passed to serve a particular purpose, the universal apprehension of free men, that they ought not to be punished without the intervention of a jury, is laid hold of to give it popularity. But suppose in the case under consideration, that the investigation of the truth of the charge was attempted to be made, under this authority alleged to be given by the constitution. Certainly the house of representatives must first sit in judgment on the accusation; secondly, the senate which is to join in the address; and thirdly, the governor who is also to exercise his judgment in the case. And I need not point out, how great an absurdity and solecism it would be, for three distinct and independent authorities, to sit, in succession, on the trial of the same accusation and for the same intent; or how great the oppression would be, to the accused judge, from this triplicate trial. I cannot conceive, that there can be any reasonable cause for removing a judge from his office, which may not be ascertained by impeachment, or by a jury at common law. (For there is also a common law mode of finding a person non compos mentis by a jury.) But if there be any such causes, they must be so vague and indefinite, that to suffer them to be acted on, at the discretion of the legislature and executive, would so effectually open
a door to the exercise of malice, favoritism, and other selfish passions, that the cure would certainly become a much greater evil than the disease; by reducing the judges, who ought to be the independent guardians of the constitution, and the other rights of the citizens, into the mere creatures or humble servants of the members of the legislature and of the governor; which would soon render the poor man's cause desperate, and the constitution a paper wall.
Article V, section 6, 'Justices of the Peace shall be commissioned during good behaviour; but may be removed, on conviction of misbehaviour in office, or of any infamous crime, or on the address of both houses of the legislature.'
This clause is also copied from the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania, and as it differs in words, may be supposed to differ in substance from those relative to judges. It is, at least more indefinite and unguarded, and with greater plausibility may be perverted to wicked purposes. It should therefore, be still more rigidly scrutinized. But I have already nearly filled up my intended bounds, and will but a little further trespass on the patience of my readers. On the two first parts of this clause, it will be only necessary to observe, that, as impeachments are, by a former clause of the constitution, restricted to misdemeanors in office, and other infamous crimes can only be tried in courts of common law, a justice of the peace, convicted in either of these ways, may be removed from his office. It may also be safely inferred therefrom, that accusations against them for misbehaviour in office may likewise be tried in courts of common law; and so far as these courts are authorized by law, they may pass sentence of exclusion from office, on finding a justice of the peace guilty of misbehaviour in office, as well as for any other crime. But no such law now exists, and it is improbable, if not improper, that any court should ever be vested with power to cashier justices of the peace, for every species and degree of misbehaviour in office, and of other crimes, of which they may be convicted; we are from these considerations, furnished with a clue for coming at the intention of the remaining part of this provision; for I confess, on the first view it is not obvious. From the case as it now stands, and may always remain in a lesser or greater degree, the record of such a conviction, must be the foundation of an address to the governor from both houses of the legislature, before a justice of the peace can be removed thereon. To say the least, there is no other provision in the constitution, for removing a justice of the peace on account of insanity: and this case alone, renders this last part of the clause under consideration indispensible. But if it be its real meaning, that a justice of the peace may be degraded from his office, without trial, and without an opportunity of making his defence, will not every intelligent patriot pronounce, that it should forever lie obsolet, only to be regarded as a monumento of the imperfection of all that is human? But it is a rule of construction, which deserves to be wrote in letters of gold—When an expression will admit two interpretations, that interpretation shall prevail, which is the most consistent with reason and justice. To which, in this case, may be added with propriety, if it is not implied—and most consistent with the principles of free government. This without doubt, will be, that the existence of the cause must be ascertained by a jury.
My fellow citizens, I am of no faction, I have no interest to advocate in which you are not all equally concerned with myself. I
only wish you to regard the suggestions I have made according to their importance, and to apply them as justice shall dictate, and the public weal demand. I am persuaded, you will at least, adopt my favorite idea, that on all accusations of a criminal nature or which may induce forfeiture, if a jury of citizens in their private capacity, be not placed between the accused and their judges, there can be no effectual barrier against the exercise of the most pernicious passions and designs with which men in power may be instigated. Remember and realize, the fatal consequences of one public servant, or department of servants being suffered to domineer over another, even under constitutional forms, so as to render an upright servant dependent on his fellow servants for his character, his office, or the subsistence his office ought to afford him. We the people, to whom all our public servants are accountable, have an undoubted right, and it is a duty which we owe to ourselves and our country, to hold the balance between them, and rigidly to inflict censure on any or all of them, when we find, on thorough investigation, they deserve it. We have a free printing press, which evil minded servants may be made to dread as the greatest scourge and by the medium of which, precious metal can be distinguished from that which is base.

CONGRESS.
United States, December 30, 1794.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives.
I LAY before you a report made to me by the Secretary of War respecting the frontiers of the United States. The disorders and the great expences which incessantly arise upon the frontiers are of a nature and magnitude to excite the most serious considerations.
I feel a confidence that Congress will devise such Constitutional and efficient measures as shall be adequate to the great objects of preserving our treaties with the Indian tribes, and of affording an adequate protection to our frontiers.
Go. WASHINGTON.
The Secretary of War Respectfully submits to the President of the United States
The following
OBSERVATIONS
Respecting the preservation of the Peace with the Indian Tribes with whom the United States have form- ed treaties.
TO retrace the conduct of the government of the United States towards the Indian tribes, since the adoption of the constitution, cannot fail to afford satisfaction to every philosophic and humane mind.
A constant solicitude appears to have existed in the Executive and Congress not only to form treaties of peace with the Indians upon principles of justice, but to impart to them all the blessings of civilized life, of which their condition is susceptible.
That a perseverance in such principles and conduct will reflect permanent honor upon the national character cannot be doubted—At the same time it must be acknowledged that the execution of the good intentions of the public is frequently embarrassed with perplexing considerations.
The desires of too many frontier white people to seize by force or fraud upon the neighboring Indian lands has been, and still continues to be, an unceasing cause of jealousy and hatred on the part of the Indians, and it would appear upon a calm investigation that until the Indians can be quieted upon this point and rely with confidence upon the protection of their lands by the United States, no well grounded hope of tranquility can be entertained.
The encroachment of white people is incessantly watched, and in unguarded moments, they are murdered by the Indians. Revenge is sought and the innocent frontier people are too frequently involved as victims in the cruel contest. This appears to be a principal cause of Indian Wars. That there are exceptions will not be denied. The passion of a young savage for war and fame is too mighty to be restrained by the feeble advice of the old men. An adequate police seems to be wanting either to prevent or punish the depredations of the unruly. It would afford a conscious pleasure could the assertion be made on our part, that we have considered the murder of Indians the same as the murder of Whites, and have punished them accordingly. This however is not the case. The irritated passions on account of savage cruelty are generally too keen in the places where trials are had to convict and punish for the killing an Indian. It is considered as unnecessary to cite instances,
although multitudes might be introduced in almost every part of the country from its first settlement to the present time.
If this view of the inability of both parties to keep the peace be correct, it would seem to follow as a just consequence that an adequate remedy ought to be provided for an evil of such magnitude.
It is certainly an evil to be involved in hostilities with tribes of Savages, amounting to two or three thousand, as is the case North West of the Ohio. But this evil would be greatly increased were a general Indian war to prevail South of the Ohio; the Indian Warriors of the four Nations in that quarter not being much short of fourteen thousand, not to advert to the combinations which a general Indian war might produce with the European powers, with whom the tribes both North and South of the Ohio are connected.
It seems that our own experience would demonstrate the propriety of endeavoring to preserve a pacific conduct in preference to a hostile one with the Indian tribes. The United States can get nothing by an Indian war, but they risk men, money and reputation. As we are more powerful and more enlightened than they are, there is a responsibility of national character, that we should treat them with kindness and even liberality. It is a melancholy reflection that our modes of population have been more destructive to the Indian natives than the conduct of the conquerors of Mexico and Peru. The evidence of this is the utter extirpation of nearly all the Indians in most populous parts of the Union. A future historian may mark the causes of this destruction of the human race in sable colours. Although the present government of the United States cannot with propriety be involved in the opprobrium, yet it seems necessary however in order to render their attention upon this subject strongly characteristic of their justice, that some powerful attempts should be made to tranquilize the frontiers, particularly those South of the Ohio. The situation of the settlements on Cumberland loudly demand the interference and protection of government. It is true some unauthorised offensive operations have proceeded from thence against the lower Cherokee towns and victims were sacrificed. Whether these victims were all warriors, or whether women and children were not involved in the destruction, seems to merit enquiry.
Upon the most mature reflection the subscriber has been able to bestow upon this subject a long from the experience of several years observation thereof, he humbly conceives all attempts to preserve the peace with the Indian tribes will be found inadequate short of an arrangement somewhat like the following, to wit:
1st. That a line of military posts, at such distances as shall be directed, be established upon the frontiers within the Indian boundary and out of the ordinary jurisdiction of any State, provided consent can be obtained for the purpose from the Indian tribes; that these posts be garrisoned with regular troops under the direction of the President of the United States.
2dly. That if any murder or theft be committed upon any of the White inhabitants by an Indian known to belong to any Indian nation or tribe, such nation or tribe shall be bound to deliver him or them up to the nearest military post in order to be tried and punished by a court martial, or on fail-
ure thereof the United States will take satisfaction upon the nearest Indian town belonging to such nation or tribe.
3dly. "That all persons who shall be assembled or embodied in arms on any lands belonging to Indians out of the ordinary jurisdiction of any State, or of the territory South of the Ohio, for the purpose of warring against the Indians or of committing depredations upon any Indian town or persons of property, shall thereby become liable and subject to the rules and articles of war, which are or shall be established for the government of the troops of the United States." This was a section of a bill which the Senate passed the last session entitled "An act for the more effectual protection of the South Western frontiers," but it was disagreed to by the house.
If to this arrangement the expence should be objected, it is to be remembered that the President of the United States in pursuance of law, has authorized both the Governor of Georgia and the Governor of the South Western Territory to establish a defensive protection, which amounts to a large sum annually.
Posts therefore requiring garrisons amounting to one thousand 500 non-commissioned and privates, for the whole South Western frontiers from the St. Mary's to the Ohio, would probably be adequate to this object.
If the posts belonging to the United States and now occupied by the British, North of the Ohio be soon delivered up, they, with a post at the Miami Villages, and posts of communication down the Wabash on the South, and the Miami river to Lake Erie on the North, together with a post at Presque Isle, would be a pretty adequate protection to the frontier North of the Ohio and a curb to any Indian tribes, discontented without just cause, which it is presumed will never be afforded by the Government of the United States.
If to these vigorous measures should be combined the arrangement of trade recommended to Congress and the establishment of agents to reside in the principal Indian towns with adequate compensations, it would seem that the Government would then have made the fairest experiments of a system of justice and humanity, which it is presumed could not possibly fail of being blessed with its proper effects, an honorable tranquility of the frontiers.
All which is respectfully submitted to the President of the United States.
