which the Government adds its mark of
Y. ;. to prevent loss by stealth, or il
liclt sale, or otherwise and these arms,
thus marked, are put into the hands of

dams, BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.
The British have enough 10 answer
for, In all conscience, without being
charged with putting U. S. upon the
muskets they give or sell to the Indians.
1t this proves, that the British arm the
Indians against our PEOPLE and govern
mem, then il proves, that they arm our
regular troops for The flurtose Of taking
Canada.

Sinh consequence of complaints
made by the Indians, that they cannot

Gov. HARRISON, says, in his letter
to Colonel Scott, that The Indians
zvere much better armed than The greater
tart Of my roots"
The Indians, il seems then, were well
armed. Well-and our Troops, espe-
cially on such an expedition, ought to
have been well armed too If they
were not, zrh0Se fault zOas it Pit must
rest either with their Leader-or their
governmenf.-It is the duty of the gov
eminent TO arm its soldiers. 1t is the
duty of their General to kno7v, thar their
arms are good If Gov Harrison's
men were 4ueH armed, why does he
make this comparison ?-If thew were
not-why did he march? Did his ex

his host OF warriors, armed, like the
