A Victim Of The Use Of Water

When A Government Has Ceased To Protect The Lives, Liberty, And Property Of The People ... And ... Becomes An Instrument In The Hands Of Evil Rulers For Their Oppression ... It Is A ... Sacred Obligation To Their Posterity To Abolish Such Government, And Create Another In Its Stead.

Govern Wisely, And As Little As Possible

Bear In Mind...that All Histories From The Rock At Plymouth, And Jamestown To The Present Time, Have Been Made By White Men, And A Man Who Tells His Own Story, Is Always Right Until The Adversary's Tale Is Told.

Let Me Tell You What Is Coming. After The Sacrifice Of Countless Millions Of Treasure And Hundreds Of Thousands Of Lives You May Win Southern Independence, But I Doubt It. The North Is Determined To Preserve This Union. They Are Not A Fiery, Impulsive People As You Are, For They Live In Colder Climates. But When They Begin To Move In A Given Direction, They Move With The Steady Momentum And Perseverance Of A Mighty Avalanche.

I Am Aware That In Presenting Myself As The Advocate Of The Indians And Their Rights, I Shall Stand Very Much Alone.
