In Senate (J. id

of .Yew ■ Jersey,

IN LED.
I now proceed, very briefly, to
trace our public history in these im
portant connexions. As early as
17G3, a proclamation was issued by
(he King of Great Britain to ins A-
meriean colonies and d>'pendeitcii*s,
whi.'l), in clear and decided terms,
and in the spirit, of honorable regard
for In lian privileges, declared the
opinions of (lie crown and tlie duties
oi’ its subjects. The preamble to
that port of this document which con
cents Indian Affairs, is couched in
terms tint cannot lie misunderstood.
I give it a literal extract: l 'Au!
whereas i1 is just and reasonable, and
essential to our interest and the se
curity of our colonies, that the Severn!

Committee was agrof d to, wiiliilie: I*
following ela'ise at iis head: ‘-T ‘a! • H
