1105. CANADA, Indemnification and. [further continued].
The conduct of the British
during the war in exciting the Indian
hordes to murder and scalp the women and
children on our frontier, renders peace forever
impossible but on the establishment of
such a meridian boundary to their possessions,
as that they never more can have such influence
with the savages as to excite again the
same barbarities. The thousand ships, too,
they took from us in peace, and the six thousand
seamen impressed call for this indemnification.—
To Don. V. Toronda Coruna. Washington ed. vi, 275.
