the Boous- Lick settlements, are party
of Sacs and Winebagocs, who were return.
ing from an expedition against some tribes
of Missouri Indians, with whom they are
1T war. Treaties will not bind these peo-
pie, fear will only restrain them. Incidents
in the proceedings Of Brigadier General
Smith, fully illustrate this assertion. The
General, with about one thousand regular
troops, ascended to Rock river a few week
ago to erect fort he chose position ON
Rock Island, the most commanding SPOT
IN ulat quarter, and Immediately commen-
ced building. The Indian chiefs pressed
him to des'st, declaring that they could
not be responsible ioi the conduct IT their

MIR. ADAMS ANSWER.
QUINCY, Feb. 8, 1916.

DEAR SIR,
have received your kind letter
oF the Esd Of January, and I thank you for
the pampHlets enclosed with i.
l. very true. as my excellent friend.
MIR s'ort'n, his informed YOU, that have
read many oiyour publications with plea
sure.
have read, almost ell the DAYS of ny
i'ts. the solemn reasonlngs and pathetic de-
CARNATIONS of Erasmus, of Fcnclon. of
81. Pierre, aud many others arainst war
and ia favor Of peace. NY understanding
| and INV heart accorded with them, at first
blush. But, alas LONGER and more ex-
tenSive exp rience has convinced me, that
wars are as necessary ana as inevitable,
IN cur system, as hurricanes, earthquake
and volcanoes.
Our beloved country, sir, is surrounded
by enemies, OF the most dangerous, be-
cause the most powerful and most unprin-
clPied character. Collisions of national in
terest, OF commercial and manufacturing
rivalries, are multiplying around us. In.
stead OF discouragi1g a martial spirit, in
my opinion, it ought to be excited We
have not enough of it TO defend us by sea or
land.
Universal and perpetual peace appears
to me no more nor less than everlasting
passive obedience, and non resistance The
human flock would soop be feeced and
batchered by one or few.
Cannot therefore, sr, be subscriber or
member of your society.
DO, sir. most humbly supplicate the
theoioglans, the phil asophers, and politici-
ans to let me die in peace. l seek only
repose:
With the most cordial esteem, however,
am, SIR, your friend and servant,

he has discovered that the conduct Of the
latter has been nisrepresented.
