3930. INDIANS, Peace with.—

Our system
is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians,
to cultivate an affectionate attachment from them, by everything just and liberal which
we can do for them within the bounds of reason.
and by giving them effectual protection against
wrongs from our own people.—
To Governor Harrison. Washington ed. iv, 472.
(W. 1803)
