J
a Mr. Findlcy, It was with forae_ re- that
Instance that he rose on tins queltton. the
• He knew that on former oecylions liu farv
d Loport to the menfurcs -or dncreoGng poffi
and continuing the western army was defe
"" supposed to have been influenced by the tion
n situation of the western counties ofPsnn
r, fylvania. He hoped that when it was
•c conljdered that the head quarters or'lie
ie army was near 60 "> miles below Pittf- J
burgh, and that this was the nearest pod,
rr and when it was also considered, that n
lt die Indians of the Sandulkies, who har
\y raffed the frontiers of Pcnnfylvama and
| Virginia, had not been made an objeCT j
th of offe«five operations, he hoped it would
*- ! be believed that he was nut influenced off
' in his opinion on this queftian by his lo- Th
■'* cal situation. He went into a retro- j
fpeft. The fir ft offenlive operation
ad (General Harmar't Expedition) was evi- a *
jc- tiently undertaken without a competent J ace
i knowledge of the (trenoth and temper I
in " of the Indians, or of the influence by I
:^ c which they were supported; coufequent- j 0
* ' Wit encreafed the war. The expedition I pul
ars of General St. Clair was alio provided ter
for on the fame mistaken policy : it was j
ave likewifc unfortunate, and the Indians j
ory became moi e formidable by greater com- 1111
10 binations. These inadequate provisions jin
na " for the Indian war cost much money, I
and protracted the war. Fhefe losses I
csta be reimbursed, but 4 the abundant I
res loss of blood cannot be recovered or com- ge
eed penfated ; and these losses are justly Ite
chargeable to the want of competent I cc
,er j force'and Ihort enlistments. When the I
present army was directed to be organ- J 1
fait i/cd, the number of troops as prescribed jdi
by the law, and the time of service were I - n
competent, but the encouragement was j
inadequate. J.
;of Mr. Fiadley saw the confcquences jOl
not of this deleft at the time, and endea-I p
lair, vouted to have the wages taifed, but!
)? -y- though the Hou'fe of Representatives J
had voted to encreale the encourage- j
J,mcnt to the army at different times, it I
iilts failed in the Senate. . The conference J
e re- was, that the number prescribed by law I
eoi vv3» never completed. But though we | 1
had lie more troops than the gentlemen I n
:d at have mentioned, that circumltance does le<
is in- not prove that the force was adequate, jt;
lever The reverse is rendered evident by un-1 n
deniable fa&s. It is a fact that the de-1 q
of the frontiers could not be com-1
j bined wiih offenfive operations as was I "
ould originally intended ; nor was the army s
'ould j fit to carry oh the limited operations I t
ly. — ! without a very expenlive aid of the mi- j -
;m:th This aid was not only necessary j t
to affill in the moll advanced and im- j -
Lor' P orta,vt operations, but even to guard 1
!y of the escorts of provisions. The attack j
only made upon Major Adair with mounted I 1
was volunteers, which was attended with I 1
izens t be loss of lives, and of horses and floret., I '
cc t0 cannot be forgot. The attack of the I I
lough e s cort wa gg ons an <] (lores on the I
l've' v ' voac ') ar| d the loss of several brave of-l .
been | Seers and privates, and also the more I
Iways formidable attack upon an advanced I
y bad pod, when, though the post was fup-1
n for ported, the cattle and stores were taken J
"' 3 ; ! 1 to a great amount and the lives of nsany I
ld'hiT our cl,iztn * werc chargeable I
[_ l( . re ' to the finallnefs 0} our force. But it is j
-e had laid that our future profpe&s have J
of St. changed the situation of our affairs so I
0 had much as to render a smaller force com-1
11 had petent to the object. What is this!
chan K e ' Wayne has gained one I
1 vi£tory, but is this a conquest ? or has i
it obtained peace ? No. It is far otlier
lC wife. The Indians do not sue for peace,
1 QHes notwithstanding all out pacific endea
on the votus to induce them to it, and emiffa
<ft the ries, rendeied a&ive r,y their personal
d been prejudices against lis, even if they had
:re said , )Q fupcrior isducement, are as active in

gentle- be hoped tl is desirable object would be
icr eon- ! sccomplifhed, but he could not extend
no his ! his hopes beyond his confidence, arid he
les that acknowledged that his confidence was
taken not perfect, but did not choose to ex
fpeak- plain his reasons: he thought it was
that I not necessary. Pretences we knew could
life of easily be found to evade the fulfilment
id con- of a treaty. He said that many argu
at this ments might be adduced to prbve the
gentle- propriety of corrpleating the army,
which it was not convenient to explain,

the mi. the fonth western territory, or even
porting Georgia, do not ftind in need of more

would not have been better protested if
Iby the the army had been completed. He ap
prehended that the conduct and tempet
in ftfelf of the fouthera Indians did not juftify

tliat further offeufive operations against 1 whicl
the western Indians might not be riecef- (taris
