A TALK from James Seagrove, Esq. Superin
ttndant of Indian Affairs, C. N. to the Kings,
Chiefs, Headmen and Warriors of the Upper and
Lower Creeks, Seminolas, and all other tribes living:
the Creek Land . 6
Brothers, *
BY desire of our greaf and good friend and fa
therthe President of the United States, I now call
on my friends,the chiefs of the Creek land to a
great and general Treaty, to be held at Colerain,
on the River St. Mary’s, to commence at the mid
dle of the next moon.
The talk which accompanies this from the Se
cretary of War, by order of the President of the
United States, wil fully explain to you the wife
and friendly motives of our General Government
for holding a Treaty at this time.
Every preparation is now making for the purpose,
and the President wilhes that every chief of your
land should be present. I have therefore to request
that you do not fail to give punctual attendance
and as near the time appointed as possible. Do
not (utter any idle, malicious (lories, that may be
circulated in your country, prevent your attend
ing, I mention this because I well know that you
have people among you and near you, who do not
wtlh to fee your nation and the United States living
m peace; these people will of course do all in their
power to prevent your meeting the beloved men
from the President. But you mud (hut your ears
®gain(t their lies, and follow my advice.
Brothers,
haV n T°u ften ™ etme ontlie frontiers of this
1 ha / ealwa f s fc ntyou home fafe, and
and can venture ia.gflur? jtjvill be ,
any thing that has been done on either
youare attending the proposed Treaty. You will
fee by the Prcfident’stalk herewith, that a principle
motive for holding the fame is to fettle alldifputes,
that we may forever after live as one great family,
in peace and love; fail not my friends to attend,
much good is intended, and 1 hope will be accom
|-lifhei. The principle men of every town in your
nation, I hope, will not fail to come; plenty of
every thing that is good will be provided for them ;
and I would also recommend that all your traders,
white and red, do come and bring at fame time i
every thing they have for file, as there will be |
plenty of goods for them as well as every Indian <
who wants to purchase. i
My deputies will explain to you, without loss of
time, the talk from our father the President of the
United States, and they are ordered by me to ac
company you to me at Colerain as soon as you have
bad a meeting, and determined on coming; you
muff fend off runners with account of the fame,
and also the number of people I may expeft.
Brothers,
Yon all know my friendftffp for you and that I
would not call you to a treaty unless I was certain
it was for your good ; my advice has fleered you
clear of many dangers for years pail; I fnall continue
to give it to you, at all times, as a father docs to
children that he loves.
The time is fuort that you have to prepare for
our meeting; therefore cannot fend you a long
talk at this time. I (hall only add that the season
of the year will be line for the purpose; you will
Jiave plenty of grass for your horses and good roads,
and it is also a time of the year when you seldom go
a hunting, you can leave your women and young
people to make your corn, &c. whilst you are se
curing peace and happiness to them and yourselves.
My deputy, Mr. Barnard, will further explain
and inform you refpe&ing the intended treaty ;
pray attend to him. WiQiing that I may have the
pleasure of soon taking my Creek friends by the
hand, I remain with much truth, their unalterable
friend,
