a firm reliance on the justice of the President of the United States & the friendly attention of his agent for Indian Affairs, they would adopt his plan: 1st. To class the towns & appoint a warrior over each class, denominated the warrior of the nation, to superintend the execution of the Law. 2d. To declare as Law that when a man is punished by the Law of the Nation & dies, that it is the Law that killed him; It is the Nation who killed him: And that no man or family is to be held accountable for this act of the nation. 3d. That all mischief makers & thieves of any country of white people, shall be under the government of the Agent for Indian affairs, and that he may introduce the troops of the United States to any part of the Creek country, to punish such persons; and that when he calls in the troops of the United States, he is to call for such number of warriors as he may deem proper to accompany them, to be under pay. That in apprehending or punishing any white person, if Indians should interpose, the red warriors are to order them to desist, and if they refuse, the Agent may order them to fire, at the same time ordering the troops of the United States to make common cause.
