Side 37 - Our grievances," said they, ." have been frequently laid before the throne, but without redress or notice. Treaties have been violated; submissions received, with a shameful and contemptuous disregard to the most solemn promises ; our fortunes have been torn from us; our consciences have been enslaved; but our oppressors, not yet satiated, now prepare to exterminate the ,wretched natives who have presumed to assert their liberty, and thus to erect a tyrannical dominion even over those who call themselves...
