" Mj Children : By late arrangements with CFrance and' Spain, we now take their place as your neighbours, friends and fathers; - and 'we hope you will have no cause to regret the ' Change, ".' It is so long since our forefathers . came from beyond the great water, that we 'have lost the memory of it,, and. seem to have grown out of this land, as7ou have done ; "T.pver more will you have occasion to change i your fathers.;;, Ve. are all now of one family J worn mthe same land, and bound to live as brothers, nd the atranjers from beyond the great witter are gone : from amons us,' the great Spirit has given you strength, and has given us strength-; not that we might hurt one another, but to do cachxthcr all the good in oar power.
