SW_BYM1806_047

take the liberty to observe, that the present isa very favourable time, to put in execution theirbenevolent views, towards the distressed nativesof this land; and that much good may be doneon the Wabash, by sending one or two suit-able men to reside amongst the Indians, andteach them how to raise stock, and cultivate theearth. Witness what Philip Dennis effectedamongst them the last year. At a station wherehe had every thing to begin, there are now atleast four hundred hogs and twenty cows; andthe Indians at no village in this country live socomfortably, as those at that place. If this spiritof industry is kept alive for a few years, it willcertainly have a powerful influence upon theminds of the Indians at many of the neighbour-ing villages. The Indians have lately concludeda treaty with the United States, which hassettled all their jarring interests. Printed by Phillips &; Fardon, George Yard, Lombard Street, London.
