Brothers, we take you now by the hand, and through you we take the people who sent you here by the hand, and assure you we are pleased that the Great Spirit has let us see each other, and converse together upon the subjects which you have communicated to us. Brothers, you see there is not a large num-ber of us here. What you have said to us will not remain with those who are here alone. It will be communicated to all your red brethren in this country. And I again repeat, that I am convinced they will be glad to hear what you have said to us, to our women and children. Brothers, when we saw you with the rest of our brothers in Baltimore, upwards of two years ago, I expect you recollect perfectly the conver-sation between us at that time and place. I, there with my brother chiefs, told you that we were glad to find you so much disposed to assist us, our women and children. We told you that your good wished should be made known to all your red brethren in this country, which has been done. Brothers, ever since that time, I, as well as some others of my brother chiefs, have been en-deavoring to turn the minds of our people to-wards the cultivation of the earth, but I am sorry to say we have not yet been able to effect any thing.
