" FATHER-Listea to. yohr children ; you see

children, when out old Chiefs, were alive. • -Thc,y
are now all dead. In. that' War • our father tea,: ,
thrown on his back' by the Ameritans, and our
father took them by, the hand without our. know-
ledge, and _we are dfraid , our father *ill do so
again. a 4 this- time: . •
",The summer before Past, when I came ford
ward • with. my .red brethren, and_ was ready ,to
take:up the. hatchet in, favour of our British fa-
ther, ,we were told not to be in a hurry—that he
had not yet-determined to fight the Americans.
.‘ Listen !—When war was declared, our father
stood up and gave, us the toetAlutwk, and .told us
he was now ready to strike the Americans—that
he wanted our assistance, and that he certainly
would get us'our lands back which the Americans
had taken from us.
" Listen !.---You told us at that time to bring
forward our families to this place—we did so, and
you promised to take care of them, and that they
should want fornothiug, while the men would,go
to•fight the enemy—that we were not to trouble
ourselves with the enemy's garrisons—that -tve
kneW nothing about them; and that our father
would attend to that part of the business. You
also told your red children .that yos would take -
good'care of your garrison here, which made our
hearts glad.
" Listen !---,When we last went to the Raplas,
it is true we gave you little assistance—it is hard
to fight people who liVe like ground bogs.
Father„ Listen !—=Our fleet has • gone out ;
we know they have fought we have heard the
great guns; but know nothing of what has Lipp-
petted to our father with one PAM. Our ships
have gone one way, and we are much astonished
to see our. father tying up every thing and prepar
ing to run away the other, without letting his rtd
keo.vi what ills Intentions MS. Yls•V atNi; at;
told US to remain here and take care of nor lands ; it
made* our hearts glad to hear that was your wish.
Our great father, the King, is the heaii, and you
represent him. You always told us, that you
would never draw your foot off British ground ;
but ties, father, we see you are drawing back,
aud.We arc sorry to see our father doing so with
out st.eing the enemy. We must compare our fa-
titer's conduct to a fat animal, that carries its
tail upon its back, but when afrighted, it drops it
bet ween. its legs and runs off.
" Listen, Father !—Tbe Americans bare not,
yet defeated 'us by land ; neither are we sure that
they have done so by water.; we, therefore.wish,
to remain here; and fight our enemy should they
make :their. appearance. If they defeat us, We
i•etrcat with our father.
At the battle of the Rapids, last war, the
. Americans certainly defeated us ; and when we.
retreated to our father's fort at that .place, the
gates were shut against us. We were 'afraid that
it would now be the case ; but instead Of that we
see our British' ather-preparing to march out of
his garrison.
Father !—You.bave got the arms and ammu-.
nition Which our -great Father sent for his red
_children.. If you have an idea of going away,_
give them to us, and you may go in welcome for
us. Our lives are in the hands of the Great. Spirit.
determined to defend our lands, and if it
is leis will, Ntt wish to leave our bOnes upon Ahem.
