Show moreKirkland 66a May 22d 1776 To General Schuyler from the Oneida Chiefs We the Oneida Chiefs think proper to acquaint you of the result of the meeting at Niagara - this we do of our own wish though it be talked of among the upper Nations. We sent two of Oneidas to hear what should pass at Niagara. They returned the night before last. They bring us the following intelligence - that the representatives of the Six Nations delivered to Colonel Butler the answer to his Belts which was agreed upon in full council at Onondaga. The purport of which was that the Six Nations with the Kaghnanages and their allies seven tribes had all united and resolved to maintain peace and observe a strict neutrality in the present quarrel neither joining the King nor the Bostonians. they should talk of nothing but peace with the Bostonians at their council fire at Albany and the same subject at the King's council fire at Niagara. To this Colonel Butler replies - Brothers, I am glad to hear you are all united but I am surprised to find you think of maintaining peace with the Bostonians and at the same time, support the King's peace or government - Where is there any one or body of men in America to be compared to the King? Brothers your resolutions are very surprising - as for General Schuyler and the other commissioners whom you boast of so much - What is he? he was born but yesterday - just now as it were started up out of the ground - and tomorrow will return, whence he came. It will not be the space of a month before you will hear him cry? he has no men, guns, cannon, ammunition, clothing - should he live till next winter he will perish by the cold for want of blankets. But the King wants neither men nor money - there is no computing his numbers. As to the Kaghnawages claiming of seven tribes that judgement is false - they lie - the Kaghnawages are by themselves and they are Bostonians - but the other six tribes in that vicinity with all the back Nations are at the King's command and will take his side and as for Canada they have all except 10 returned to the King's side. Then the commanding officer (whom the Indians call Oghweanjeyo) addressed the Indians, related by our messengers, as follows - Brothers, the King of England is very great and wise - he was never yet conquered - he has subdued the French and Spaniards - Pray, what can this handful in America do with such a King - The King is very subtle, he has deceived the Bostonians to some purpose. He ordered his forces to continue at Boston till the Bostonians had collected all the Cannon, that could be found from Philadelphia, New York and even from Virginia and brought them to that town. The Bostonians, having all the forces and cannon collected thought they could then destroy the town. But the King's officer commanding there forbad them to destroy the town - He would leave it in a peaceable manner as the purpose of coming there was now answered - and now Brethren you will soon hear that the King's ships have laid waste all their seaports which can make no opposition having sent all their cannon and forces to Boston. Virginia has had a blow already. Brothers I shall not give up this post (Niagara) to the Bostonians without a struggle - my men must fall first before the Bostonians shall take possession. After this Colonel Butler proceeds - addressing himself to the Sachems - "Brothers - I propose to your considering that a number of your warriors should go in quest of Colonel Johnson . There is a vessel ready for sailing - let them embark - who desire a speedy interview with Colonel Johnson , he must by this time, be at Quebec or in the River and upon my hearing of his actual arrival I shall immediately pursue and will certainly see him. If the Bostonians should be betwixt me and Colonel Johnson , I will turn out of the road and pass by them. I have also another vessel prepared for the back nations, as soon as they come." The Sachems reply: "We shall not consider the matter for we know it is already settled, and they are now embarking. Did we know that Colonel Johnson was actually arrived at any particular place, we would consider the affair." Brother General Schuyler : we now inform that Colonel Butler prevailed, and upwards of fifty of the Six Nations have embarked, twelve days ago, in quest of Colonel Johnson ; and a number of the back nations, the whole amounting to one hundred. Brother, we dread the consequence. We this day send off four of our young men to acquaint you, and then proceed to Caughnawaga to inform them. The one from Oriske is a chief man, and one of the two sent to Niagara, and will give you particulars. The next, called Kanaghwidiga, is a young Sachem of great influence in this nation. The third, Sewajis, is chosen to a Sachemship. We, the Sachems of Oneida, send our love to you, and wish you success. From your faithful Brothers, Sughnagevrat, Jimmey, Aghsinhare, Tigawe, Tekeongo, Kaghneghlories. To the Honorable Philip Schuyler , Esquire Commissioner, etc. Interpreted by Samuel Kirkland , who hopes to write to his Honor very soon if a safe conveyance presents. Brothers - I propose to your considering that a number of your warriers should go in quest of Col. Johnson. There is a vessel ready for sail[in]g - let them imbark - who desire a speedy interview w[it]h Col. Johnson, he must by this time, be at Quebeck or int he River and upon my hear[ing]g of his actual arrival I shall immediately pursue and will certainly see him if the Bostonians.

Abstract: Results of meeting at Niagara at which 2 Oneidas were present. It was first stated (in response to Col. Butler's belts), that the Six Nations, the Kaghwages, and the seven tribes of Canada "had all united and resolved to maintain peace, both with the King and the Bostonians and receive no axe from either". Colonel Butler then pointed out the weakness of the colonies. The Indians replied by pledging peace to England. The commander at Niagara spoke of Britain's power. "Upwards of sixty of the Six Nations have embarked" on a journey to Quebec to meet with Johnson.
