To give the Englifh their Due, it mufi be acknowledged, tbat tbey excel in every Art and Science, except Politicks otberkuife tbey would 'rot have appeared fo much furpnzed as tbey bave been, at what has happened on tbe River Ohio.

There is much more Land in North America than both Nations could occupy and people tbefe 50c Years to come, ivere they to continue in Peace together all that Time but our Nation is tn Hafie to grow Rich, to fupplanl eur Rivals in Trade1, and to raiftd powerful Navy 1 and our Vivacity will not all.w us to wait patiently for tbe flow Returns of fairful Indufiry which would gradually enable us tt carry jhofe Points, without venturing any Thing upin tbe Fortune of War. i We are fenjible it is not tbe Inter eft of tbe Englifh to quarrel with us, confidering tbeir Circumfiances 'and we are like wife fenfible, that, bad as tbofe Circumfiances are, we can thrive better by Peace than by War with them But confidering the general State of Europe, our Mi r.iflers, it feems, think they may be provoked with Impunity, It is of no great Importance to tbe general Syftem cf Affairs where a War begins.

We bave not carried the Point and oiir People tbere will fortify tbemfelves, while the Commijfsries canvafs tbe Affair here, examine tbeir refpctlive Claims to tbe Terri tcries in'Difpute, and pore upon Maps. To bave pofiponed fucb an Expedition, till a War in Europe were unavoidable upon other Accounts Kcculd have been as great Weaknefs as Politicians Could be guilty of, IVe have done what is right, at leafi in our own Eyes end now let England do br befil, by War or Negociation, to prove sis in tbe Wrong."
