THE
MEMORIAL
OF THE
Legillative Council and Houfc of Re
prefcntativesi
To the Qongrefs oj the United States if
Amtrica-.
IT appearing from the proceedings
of your late fefiion* uporl the memorial
of the people of the Territory* that
both the Seriate dnd House of epre
i fentatives agreed in the propriety and
j necefiity of extending effectual proteiti
; on to the exp«fed frbritierS of this
country, though they differed irf, the
mode, We ate induced to hope' the
iubjedi will igiin be taken up at an ear
ly day of the approaching session, and
that unanimity* as to the mode will
take place;
WE havi riovfr to inform ybu, that
(irice the date of that Memorial (Fe
bruary 26th) the Creeks and Chero
kee* hive not ceased to kill the citizens
of the United States, resident in this
Territory, nor pillage the country, but
have continued id do both as usual, with
an unremitting hand ) i» proof of which
we refer you to the annexed lift of mur
ders and thefts committed since that pe
riod.
WE art' truly fe'nCbk that tire mo
tives of government in forming treaties
with those twe nations, 'and in giving
them large prtfents and annuities* were
rtoi the love of Indians* but with the
hope that such proofs of friendfhip
would produce a return erf it# qn their
part towards the citizens t>f the United
States, and that thereby a real peace
and good uHderfttnding would be eftab.
lifhed between the parties. But, alas !
we by dreadful* woeful experience*
know it has had the contrary effect.—
Initead of viewing filch Conduct on the
part of the United States as an evidence
of friendfhip toward# them* they have
considered it as an evidence of fear, or
as a tribute paid to their fuperiot prow
ess in war ; and, thus viewing it, it has
served only to encourage them to kill
additional numbers of your exposed fel
low-citizens. Fear, not love, is the on
ly means by which Indians can be go
verned, and until they in turn are made
to feel the horrors of war* they will not
know the value of peace* nor observe
the treaties they may form with the U*
nited States.
In discharge of the dtity we owe our
constituents, and ourselves, we have
made to you this memorial, confiding,
that you* in diicharge of that which you
aWe to your's and yourfelvca, will take
meafnres to punish thofc two faithlefs
and blood-thirsty nations, the Creeks
and Cherokees, according to the ufarre
and custom of nations, and to secure the
persons and property of the citizens of
the United States, refidcnt in this Ter
ritory. Dons at Knoxville, in the Le
gislative Council, September ic, 1794.
