receive any Benefit from Traffick, or are provided with suitable
Presents for them, That therefore you cannot consistent with your
Duty, increase any Charge upon your Constituents for this Purpose ;
however, I think it my Duty to observe to you, That many Warriors
of the Six Nations often pass through this Province in order to
make War on the Catawbaws, and expect that we and our neigh-
bouring Colonies should provide for them in their March, and if they
should be refused, it cannot be doubted, but that they would take it
by Violence: And I am apprehensive, That as the Governments to
the Southward as well as the Northward of us, allow those Warriors
Provisions in their March, that were they to be refused the like
Allowance in this Province, they would consider such Refusal as a
Violation of the Treaties with us, and be induced to treat our back
Inhabitants as Enemies, and how far the Consequence may reach,
cannot be easily foreseen: It is easy to prevent any Evils of this
Kind, by making a proper Provision for those People at the Public
Expence, which is but a mere Trifle, in Comparison with the Safety
of the People. Sam: Ogle
Which was read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
The House adjourns until Monday Morning 8 of the Clock.
