The following patriotic speech was delivered on the frontier,
at a meeting called for the purpose of taking into consideration
the expediency of getting up an expedition against the hostile
Indians Friends and teller Citizen Sogers;—We are met
here for the purpose of excussibz the subject of the hospitalities
lately convicted against our peaceful and blooming frontiers by
the condacious red skins. I say we are met here to instigate
whether we will sit still in our shattees, and see the spoiler whet
his deadly and bloody and murderous knife against the hearts
of our friends and fetter squatters, them are fearless spirits that
have gone forth with a bold heart and strong arm, to dig ditches
and drain the swamps of the west ! and whom we look empha-
tically and tetoly as the
pianoes of a new world ! I say, whe-
ther shall we sit still in our shantees, and see their corn fields
ravaged, their wives inviolated before their very ei‘es, and their
smiling prattling infants used up in the most harbrous manner,
or whether we will march et once upon this second chempaigne,
and by our timely valerosity save them from a state of total de-
function, and at the same time extinguishing ourselves in eter.
