The Upper House. 399

The Incroachments of the French and their Depredations on his
Majestys Lands and the Suffering of Our fellow Subjects give us
the greatest alarm and we should think ourselves wanting in our
duty to his Majesty and our Country should we not give all the
Assistance in our power to repell the common Enemy and as one
Step towards it will be to Secure the affections of the Indians at this
critical Juncture We shall readily concur to what is necessary towards
attaining so desireable an End
