The following is an Extract from the address
OF Gov. EDWARDS to the officers and
soldiers who composed the late detach-
ment of militia from the Illinois terrific
ry, ON bis dsckarging them from further
service.
Ever since the battle of Tippecanoe, l
have uniformly maintained the opinion ( pro
baby with more zealthan discretioD) that
nothing short ofthe most vigorous offensive
operations against the Indians, could pro-
cure Us peace with them. Hostility ingen-
dered by British influence has rallied them
against us, and as our difficulties with Eng
land seemed to increase, / ne yer co u!d see
any reasonable ground to hope that that iii
Auence would be Withdrawn, or that~it
would be less efficient than it had hitherto
been, more especially as the savages con-
stantly failed or refused to surrender a single
murderer, or to do any other act of Justice
that would argue their return to "A friendly
disposition towards us.-And feel sincere
