praying that the cpnfidaration might be
resumed of appropriating thf fopplies for carrying
into efFect the Britilh treaty, on the fuppofitipn
that they h«d been already refufed, tl
Mr. Gallatin presented a petition.from 21 inha- t
bitantsof the State of Delaware agaiull the treaty. v j
The abov; petijicas were dilpofed ofas usual. fj,
Mr. Sedgwick informed the house that he had , ci
in his hand a letter from Bodon, addrefled to the n
Representatives of Maflachufets inCongrefs, inform- ( c
ing them thdt a public meeting had been held to j.
consider ttpon the proprietyofpetitioning that houtp c
to request that necHTary measures might be taken
to carry the Britilh treaty into effect, .at whicb it. t e
t, was fuppofcd that 2200 persons were present, CI
and that more than 1800 were in favor of the- mea-, j(
sure. As it appeared the petition which was a- w
greed on at that meeting would not rome tp hand m
' antil the next pod day, and as the queiiion to which j,,
it related might in the mean time be taken, he and g,
his colleagues thought it neccflary to make this tr
j communication.
The h»'jfe then resolved itfelf into a committee of,, re
h , ' le whole, Mr. Muhlenberg in the.*chair, on the ce
Ilate of the Union, and the resolution for carrying f a
it into effedl the Britilh treaty being under confidera- t a
tion, Mr. N. Smith and Mr. Dayton ( the speaker)
spoke in favor of the motion. Mr. Christie spoke t 'h
also a few words in condemnation of the. treaty ; nc
but oMerved, as he found the greater part of hjs c ii
c constituents were dcfirous that the treaty Ihould he „pc
carried into effect (though theyhad not attempted ~a n

the committee appeating to concur, a division took C 'd
1 P*f ce « whcn tl,ere appeared <9 gentlemen io favor hi
, 1 motion and 49 again It it. The chairman, a b
, titer feme httle helitation, said,
* IHe r W " not al '°S elher fatisfied with the form of w
the resolution • but as he supposed it would under- by
. go further difcuflion when it came before the lioufe dc
and prrhaps feme modification of it might take Fr
. place, he Ihould give his vote in favor of it. -Tl
The queltion was accordingly_carried. ,v,
The house took up therefolutioß, when the aye*
and nays were called for. a
Mr. Giles wilhed feme modification to be made f»!
lij the resolution before tbem, or an additional one St
, introduced, so as to express the sense of the House his
upon the treaty : he said it was observable, that fe- %
veral gentlemen voted for the present resolution who fit
tho t the treaty a rery bad o«e. He no. pre- to
pared at present with a proper resolution. The no
; rea{ ° n «hy he thought feme qualification necelTarv
was, that as a part of the treaty was only to Conti-: ha
nuc tn eflea for two years, and at the end of that a ss
time, frefti negociation would probably take placc, lie
if the sense of that House, it might, in feme del ha
1 gree, operate with him in a renewal of that part of fr,,
1 the treaty. 1
■.1 Mr ' J^ kfo " * in,ed ' "he discovered feme of f U i

Mr. Fen no,
e WHEN I wrote a few remarks on the benevo
-1 lent sentiments of a Member of CongrtTs, relating
to the Indian Tribes, I had not seen the whole of
j the debates on the Bill for regulating .mercoufe
with that People, but as further proceedings wwe
• published the iucceedirtg; day, I found that those
: sentiments were strikingly corroborated by another.
• Member, who brought to remembrance the crueU
t ties exercised on the innoccnt Inhabitants at the
• difcovtry of this Country, two hundred years ago
r when, whatever migLt have been the dodrines refl.
■ pedting the right of poffellion, he did not' believe '
I they were adapted to the; present time, merely be.
J; IVl i' T zed Mfn cou 'd improve the L a „d better
than the Natives ; nor did he agree with the aftei
tion of his •' Colleagae," which in fa« was of
Inch a nature as would give more pain than plea.
' lure to repeat it.'
If the Gentleman whose sentiments were so Cmf
lar to those which were fpecified in my iaft, had
' en of the namf of Madison, or Baldwin, I (houki
have mentioned either of those names on filch an
orcafion with pleasing fatisfaftion, becauCe it would
then be seen, that it wasthe principle Iregai-dedin
the present cafe, and that I gave no pieference to
perlons, barely on account of the general turn of
political opinions; but as neither of those Gentle
men, has given me the opportunity to attach his
name to the sentiments alluded' to, I (hall proceed
to other observation*.
As to the featimentf of a Foreigner, hower much
I may have been amused with We parts of his
lengthy Speeches, yet on this occasion I make n»
lcmplc to profefs my disagreement; and I (hall
give my reasons in the following manner ;_1 am a
native of America, it is nature) fpr a man to love
hi, Country, and he is but a poor Patriot, who ir>
not? friend to his Countrymen, especially those
who (however just their cause) are deprived of the
opportunity efpleading f or themselves.-The au.
ceftors of the e people were the fiiends of my an
tenors, as well a, those of many of my fdlow-citi-
TkV n 7 u reteiVcd tbemwi, h tincinefs in their
feeble state, they were ready to assist them in lime
of need , and so rrtent was that happy scene, that
Tmyfelf remember when the friendly-Natives vuVt
ed this City in conCdetablc numbers, and delighted
in the name of brothers, retaining a due affedion
for he memory of the.r much beloved Onas, wi.o
TZ 1? U hit fellow men '
to the right, which « thf God »f nature" had
given them.
I do not wish to extend these unexpefled remarks
to a great length, but I imagine, that if one of
those naj;ve- orators (whose capacity no sensible
riLTt f lWu Fefent to defc »d his people.
m-^ g L i?" L C nown to evcr r nnpremdiced
m.nd, whether the agreflions are all to be laid to
theircharge.orwhether every manly Pennfylvanian
who knows any thing of the affair, of this country'
have at le-ft a right, to believe themselves an ini.i.
r td and much oppressed people.
