Their are NV, that they must be con-
'lrth-Fify on their guard, and not to
give any credit to whatever you
said, as you were people not to
be depended upon; that the Viz
ginians would invite them to q
treaty, but that they must not go
at any rate, and to take particular
notice of the advice they gave,
which proceeded from motives OF
real friendship.
Now by comparing and cOllating
this with the speech sent by Dun
more, enclosed il ConnOly's letter,
it will furnish us with squirting
at the game that was played with
the Indians by the earl of DUB
more and other British officers ;
10 be convinced of which, read
the following speech from Dun
more, which was enclosed in q
letter to Gibson:
Brother Capt. White-eyes, | am
glad to hear your good speeches as
sent to me by Maj. Connolly, and
you may be assured | shall put one
end of the belt you have sent me
into the hands Of our great king,
who will be glad to hear from his
brothers the Delawares, and will
take strong hold of it. You may
rest satisfied that our foolish young
men shall never be permitted to
have your lands ; but on the con-
trary the great king will protect
you, and preserve you in the pos
session of them.
"Our young people in this coun'
try have been very foolish, and
done many imprudent things, for
which they must soon be sorry,
and of which l make no doubt
they have acquainted you; but
must desire you not to listen tC
them, as they would be willing you
should act fOolishly with them
selves but rather let what you
hear pass in at one ear and out o.
the other, so that it may make M
impression on your heart, until goa
Lcqr from me 6nIIy, which shall b.
as soon as can give further in
D formation.
"Capt. Waite-eyes will please

~entiments, as well as the chief

-N~1s scarcely necessary to re
marN IRE, that the flight of Dun
more IRON Williamsburg, of Con
molly from Pittsburgh, I,is speecI
OF DunmOre's, and the speech n
the Delawares TO Cspt. Wood, ar
all nearly cotemporaneous, ant
point the reader pretty clearly t,
the aspect Of our affairs with tn
Indians at this period. DunmOre'
speech, rs y0u have 1t above, al
though pretty explicit, is yet guard
ed, as it had to pass through al
equivocal medium; but he tell
Capt. White eyes he shall hes
from him hereafter, and this hert
after speech was no dOubs in Con
noly's portmanteau when be wa
arrested in Frederick.
But to conclude this tediou
. chapter, nothing more now seem
necessary than to call the attention
of the reader to those inference
that the facts and circumstance
detailed in the foregoing page
seem to warrant.
The first Circumstance in the Orde
Of events seems to be the extraOT
binary and contradictory condnc
OF Dnnmore and Connolly respect
ing Captain Cresap. They certain
~ understood each other, and ha,
one ultimate end in view; yet W
fad on all occasions Dunmor
treats Cresap with the utmost con
~. fidence and cordially, and tina
Connoly's conduct was continual,
the reverse, even aDtragseasDyy in
snlting him, while under the i'm
mediate orders of DunmOre him
self.
Secondly, We find DunmOre act
lug with duplicity and deception
with Col. Lewis and his brigade
from Augusta county. So say
Doddridge.
Thirdly, we find Capt. Cresap'
name foisted intO LOgan's pretend
cd speech, when It is evident, a
