rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own

Extras of a Letter from Columbia, N. IV.
Territory April 2.
As to the army I have it not in my.
power to inform you of the intended move
ments ; they are near a hundred miles from
this, and it is probable to meCongreis,
ofteu receive official accounts before we
are poflefled of facts in this settlement. ,
I flatter my felf fomethiug will be done
this campaign—you remember my story .
of the bees, by looking at the map you
may fee the line between our country and
the Indianlands; fiomthe State of Pennsyl
vania to the great Miami down the the
Ohio, the lands have been fairly purchased
from the Indian tribes, or in other words
they have received such presents as inclin
ed them to draw off from and relinquish
all their right to the abo¥e described lands ;
IromPennfylvaniato thegreat Miami is our
couutry, the lands over the Miami being
in pofieflion of the Indians, we call that
the Indian country, therefore as scon as
General Wayne crossed the great Miami
he was in the Indian country and 1 am in
hopes his army likothe bees will thisfpring
begin to swarm ; the worst thing that per
haps could havehappened was the pretenti
ous of the Indians to vvifha peace; the whole
of which I believe to be nothing but dpli.-
fiou deceit and artifice, for nearly from thr.t
time they have seemed to doubletheir vigi
lance on the.efcoits and the infant settle
ment ; they are generally in Columbiatwo
or three times a week in the night, and fre
quently steal our horses and scalp our valu
able neighbors and citizens. About todays
ago they killed one of my neighbors Mr.
David Jennings, a man of excellent charc
ter as a citizen and chriftian. lam afraid
Congress will be deceived by the Indians
and consequently not forward reinforce
_ I hayg nftfii heen furprifetLjhat
lome of our fellow citizens who are not
opposed to war, in point of principle,
should view the present war as being an
unjust one, fay the war is about the In
dian lands of which fay they, we are driv
ing to deprive them. I dont think that to
be the ground of the present war ; the fact
is they have received a valuable consider
ation for the above (lefcribed land, from
Pennsylvania to the great Miami; and not
withstanding, have to my khowledge been
near five years plundering and scalping the
citizens of the United States reliding on
those very lands for which they have ac
cepted a valuable consideration and this
they have done long before our government
exerted its powers tofubdue them. For my
part I not only deem the war to be a just
one ; but I believe it the duty of our go
vernment to protest its citizens, and altho'
the measures adopted have been unfortu
nate yet I cannot but feel gratefull to go
vernment for the exertions they have made, f
although 1 know they have done no more
than their duty.
For the Gazette of the United States
Some ftri&ures on sundry taxes report
ed by the committee of ways and means,
to the House of Representatives in Con
gress, and lately difcufled in Committee
of the whole House, may deserve notice
—and are humbly ofFered to the conside
ration of Congress and the Public.
I ft. Land and labor ought never to he
taxed. They are the feed, the embrio,-
the original principles of all our supplies
and all our wealth. The farmer who hf s
purchased and cleared land, and f\Veats all
day to raise bread, has done his part t< -
wards the support of the country, and it
is no hardlhip for men who eat his bread
to pay him for it, and excuse him from
Taxes too.—The firft tender germing and
shoots of every fruit, should be carefully
nursed and prote&ed; for the lealt op
preflion and burthen, will lefTen & retard
or perhaps wholly prevent their perfecti
on • but these remarks, as far as they re
late to a land tax, are now unnecef&ry,
