We were ]a,t week visited by the IA
nous .Ch eff, Red jacket, together With
h,u7 other chiefs belonging to the Six Ma
tions. TO wit-Blue Sky, W,lliun, Sky,
Peter Smoke and IUenty Canoes, who ar
rived here on Monday about sun set.
To answer the solicitations OF our in
habitants, Red Jacket delivered spe ech
in the evening at the Academy, which was
almost instantly filled with AN attentive
auditory. His speech. if it had been
properly interpreted, no doubt would
have been both eloquent and interesting.
But as it was, merely enough could be
understood to know bis object. while his
native eloquence and rhetorical powers
could only be guessed at. from bis manner
and appearance. He commenced by re-
presenting the whole human race as the
creatures of God, or the Great Spirit, and
that both white men and red men were
bretheren of the same great family. he.
then mentioned the emigration OF our lore
fathers from towards the rising OF the sun,
and their landing among their red brethe-
rem Ia this new discovered world. he
next hinted at the success Of our armies
under the great Washington:-our pros.
peri,y as a nation since the declaration OF
our independence; mentioned Gen. Wash.
ington's advice to the red men, to plough,
and plant and cultivate their lands.-This,
be said, they wished to do, but the white
men took away their lands and drove
them further and iu:ther towards the set
ting suH:--and what was worse than all /,
had sent Missionaries to preach and hold
meetings among them:-that the whites
who instituted and attended these meet.
ings, stole their horses, drove off their cat
tle, and taxed their land. These things
he considered their greatest calamity-too
grevious to be borne. 80
The principal object Of this visit by
these Chiefs was. we understand to. inter-
cede with the Friends in whose honesty
they appear to place the most implicit
confidence, to use their influence to free
them from the Missionaries now in their
borders. - THa&
What are the rea! grounds OF this oppo-
sition to the Missionaries among these our
red bretheren, we know not, bu! the
cause OF pure religion and christian pbitan-
thropty demand their speedy invesiiga.
