The French war closed in the year 1763, by the treaty of UTRECHT. The Indian tribes were at peace with each other and with their white neighbors. It was about this time that CORNPLANTER married a wife, an Indian woman of his own tribe. When that important event took place, he, himself, informs us, that he was not well provided for housekeeping. He "had no gun, and his wife no kettle." Under the impression that his father would provide these useful articles for him, he made a journey to Albany, to see him. But he was disappointed. In CORNPLANTER'S own account of the interview, he says: "When I started home my father gave me no provision to eat on the way. He gave me neither kettle nor gun. Neither did he tell me that the United States were about to rebel against the government of England." This conduct was alike unnatural and unjust. For, if the result of the French war had impoverished the Indian trader, of which we have no knowledge, he, at least, might have given his son some information of the dark clouds which were beginning to gather between England and the colonies, and which soon afterwards brought on the Revolutionary war. CORNPLANTER, in the address just referred to, intimates that it was a want of knowledge of the questions in dispute, in conjunction with other causes which he mentions in his address to WASHINGTON, in 1790, led the Confederacy to take part, in favor of the King of England, in the war which ensued. He says, in the address referred to, he was opposed to joining in the conflict, inasmuch as the Indians had nothing to do with the difficulties that existed between the two parties. If he had more clearly understood the points in dispute his opposition might have been more effective. When BRANT, early in the year 1777, with his Mohawks, had organized a hostile expedition, in connection with some loyalists of that region, to attack Unadilla, in New York, on the Upper Susquehanna, an embassy of Sachems and war Chiefs of the Senecas and Cayugas repaired to Oghwago, to which place BRANT had advanced, to remonstrate with him against further hostilities to the Americans. BRANT yielded to their councils and protestations, and withdrew, with his Indians and refugees, into the Cayuga country. BRANT'S exertions and interference had much to do in inducing the Six Nations to take part against the united colonies. Not long after the above occurrence, in an interview with General HERKIMER, of the Revolutionary army, he said: "The Indians were in concert with their King, as their fathers had been. The King's belts, of Wampum, are yet lodged with them, and they cannot violate their pledges. General HERKIMER and his followers have joined the Boston people against their sovereign. And, although the Boston people were resolute, yet the King would humble them. That General SCHUYLER was very smart on the Indians, at the treaty of German Flats, but, at the same time, was not able to
