VOL. I.--NO.27.
our wlvcs and for our little ones, when there was peace on our mountains and

 in our valleys We are encountering

 troubles which cannot but try our very souls. But shall we, on account of these troubles, torsake CUT beloved country

 Shall we be compelled by civilized

 and dChristianpeople, e,with whomwehave lived in perfect neace for the last tortu years, and for whom VIC have willingly bled ip war, to bid final adicu 10 our homes, our farms, our streams and our

 beautiful tnrestsa Mo. N [ arr. st H II fiji lr We intend still to cling, with our want ed affection, to the land which gave us birth. and which every day of our lives brings tnns new and stranger ties of at- tachment. Ne appeal tn the judge of

 all the earth, who willfnally award us justice, and to the good sense ofthe Ame- rican people, whether We are intruders upon the land of others. Our conscicil-

 ces bear US witness that we arc the iii-

 yaders of DO mans Iights-we have rob-

 bed no man of his territory-we have

 usurped no man's authority, nor have We

 deprived any of his nnalienable priyil-

 eges. How then shall we indirectly

 confess the right of another people to

 our land by leaving ii forever? On the

 soil which contains the ashes of our be-

 loved men we wish to live--on this soil

 we wish to die.

 We intreat those to whom the fore-

 going paragraphs arr addressed, to re-

 member the great law of love. ssDoto

 others as you would that others should

 do to you.o Let them remember that

 ofall nations on earth, they are under

 the greatest obligation to obey this law.

 Ne pray them to remember that, for the sake Of principle, their forefathefs were compelled to leave, therefore driv-

 en from the old world, and that the

 winds of the persecution waited them

 over the great waters and landed them

 on the shores of the new world, when the Indian was the sole lord and propri- them remember in what way they were received by the savage of America,

 when power was in his hand, and bis fe- rocity could not be restrained by any

 human arm. We urge them to bear in mind, that those who would TOW ask of them q cup of cold water and spot of earth, a portion of theirown patri- ] monial possession, on which to live and die in peace, are the descendants of those, whose origin, as inhabitants of North America, history and tradition are alike insufficient to reveal. Let them bring to remembrance all these facts, and they cdnaot, and we arc sure, they ssil' ssil' rot fail to remember and sy... pathize withus in these our trials and suflerings.
