cfILKS delivered to Ms. White -
by the Hollowing King 0 f t h e
“W'owetaws, and the Mad Dog of the
rn *Tuckabachies.
’fl Worfeter Square , 16th May y
jflr'HE Chiefs, Headmen, and War*
riors being met, the Hollowing '
of the Cowetas, in behalf of the
;r flole, and in reply to the Comraifliouers
’flitacion, spoke as follows:
f mThat, as he told Col. White, when here,
■f never wanted to take hold of bad
>flks, or put the white people from them,
St to take them by the hand, and hold
flm as fathers, brothers, and friends :
'fltbe alio told him it was what his elders
Id always told him to do, for the bene
’lof them and their children: That he
fluid never have any other intention, but
fls sorry to have met with any thing that
fliuld interrupt their peace, as he always
flhed to hold the three nations, Afntri
§s, Englilh, and Spaniards, fad as
’■ends; is sorry for the interruption, but
■glad to fee the time coming when he
Hll be able to reuew his ftiendfhip ; had
Ha great deal to fay, but, as he said be
fle, hopes the beloved men will not
fltne them solely for what has happened,
Bngonly in defence of their rights : That
■has seen their talks, is proud to fee
fly look upon him as they do : That he
flays looked on them as brothers,fathers,
B friends, from whom, as their duty,
U always expected advice, and hopes
Ben they meet the talk will be straight
Id full: That when he saw Col. White
I was glad, received him as a friend,
Id to him told his grievance, withed him
■ lay them before Congress, and to get
I Ge«rgians removed from the lands,
Ithout which there could be 110 peace ;
It they did not intend or with a general
It; that being once done, every thing
fluid return to its old channel: When
fly fee this, they will fee our talks are
fl fame as to Col. White: Is fowy for
flat has happened, it has been the quar
■l of brothers, and hopes all malice will
■ removed at the meeting, as well as
iufe of complaint : He told Col. White
■ should be always ready to hear good
■* 8 » the day is now come, and he re
vives it with fatisfadion : When they
l c this, the beloved men will know it is
Be fame talk given to Col. White : This
la return, with thanks, for the talk this
PT received by their beloved men’s uief
l°ger, whom he has received with his
part; hopes they will welcome his reply
fc the fame manner, and hopes they will
P&fider that they have many mad people
|ith them, as doubtless there are among
r e whites ; but, a* they are matters of
tlie gronntJ, they* only contend for their
rights t Again hopes this talk will be
equally agreeable to the whites as theirs is
to him and his people : Repeats again what
he said to Col. White, what happened at
the firft settlement, that the whites then
only poflcfTed the sea-board, but one oc
currence or other has led them up the
country, and they are now eucroaching
as near as pofiibie : As they mean a talk,
a little is best spoke from the heart ; he
hopes he speaks to his friends, that he has
now returned the talk to his fathers in an
swer to theirs, which he likes and received
with pleasure; and as they will receive
this by me, hopes when they meet there
wnl be no obstacle, but they will meet
and shake hands in a friendly manner,
like fathers and sous.
TuckabachieSy s\fi May , 1788,
BEING all met, they received the talk
as a good one, and made choice of the
Mad Dodos the Tuckabachies, who re
plied as follows : That they and the low
er towns were all one people, and what
has been done there they agreed to; there
has beeu a little difference, but, as a peace
talk is come, hopes there will be 110
thoughts of that, that he does not
blame the heads of the whites, hopes they
to not blame them, as what has been
dose he believes to be done by the lower
kind of people, and not by the heads, as
he fees now from their talk; hopes they
have taken it into consideration to preserve
life ; and that he is as ready for peace as
they are, they with for nothing but peace,
if agreeable to both sides, and do not
think themselves in fault; as for the dif
ference of blood that has been fpilt it can
not be helped, they are sorry for it, and
would be glad how soon it can be flopped ;
it is of no use to a long talk until
they meet, when every thing will be dif
cutfed fully, and hopes they will meet
friends and fettle their business.
