Their authority, however. over the
warriors would not restrain them.
They would not listen to their advice.
An Indian is hardly considered AS
man, until he has been engaged In
war, and can show many trophies.
This first and most ardent Ut all
their passions, will be excited by pre-
sents. most gratifying to their pride
and vanity. Unless strong measures
are taken to prevent it, we may con-
slider beyond all doubt, they will be
influenced to follow the advice of their
British Father. THIS then appears
tn be the plain state of the case; the
British have a regular force, equal to
ours. The province of Upper Cana
da has on its rolls militia of twenty
to one against us. In addition to this,
there can be little doubt, but large
proportion of the savages will join
them; what then will be the situation
of this part Of the country? Sepa-
rated from the states by an extensive
wilderness, which will be filled with
savages, to prevent any succonr; our
water communications entirely OBJ
structed by the British armed yes
sells on lake Erie, we shall have no
other resource for defence but the
small garrisons, and feeble popula-
ten of the territory. Under these
circumstances, it is easy to foresee
what will be the fate of this country.
sit is principle of nature, that the
lesser force must give way to the
greater. Since my acquaintance with
the situation of this country, | have
been of the opinion that the govern
nent did not sufficiently estimate its
value and Importance. After the re-
voluticn, and after 1t was coded to us
by treaty, the blood and treasure of
our Country were expended in sa-
wage war TO obtain it. The post at
this place is the key of the northern
country. BY holding it, the indians
are kept in check, and peace has been
preserved with them to the present
time. If we were once deprived Of
1t, the northern Indians would have
no where to look but to the British
government in Upper Canada
They would then be entirely iHau.
enced by their councils. 1t would be
easy for them, aided by the councils
of the British agents, to commit de
predations on the scattered frontier
settlements of Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana, &c. They would be collect
ed from the most distant parts of
their villages, where the English
factors have an Intercourse with
them, aud would become numerous.
Under these circumstances, If there
is prospect of war with England,
what measures are most expedient!
In my mind there can be no Doubt
Prepare naval force on lake Erie
superior to the British, and Sufficient
to preserve your communication
have transcribed sn much Of this
letter, the original of which may be
found on the files of the war office.
principally to show, that I consider
ed a naval force on lake Erie supe-
rior to the British, and sufficient to
preserve the communication, in the
event of war, essential. even for the
preservation of the country; and like
wise to show how strongly | urged
it on the government, a year before
the war was declared.
