It is not a bounty, nor a charity, that we claim. We only ask what you have promised to give us. We have not, as we said, kept the run of our accounts. This we left en- tirely to the United States. AYe could not tell whether they were kept right or not. We thought they were not, and asked you to have them examined. You ordered tlrs to be done. All the officers who could know anything about our accounts examined them ; and they all re- ported that we had not got the money and goods which were pr...omised us by our treaties. What more could we do ? What more can we do now ? AYe ap- peal to you simply [ov justice. It is in your power, and youis alone, to answer our appeal. If we fail before you, we must submit. We must then go back to our people and tell them that the Congress of the United States will not give us the money which is admitted to be due us ; that they will not fulfill the solemn promises of the Grovern ment ; that, although a few hours' revenue of this great country would keep its plighted faith to us, we cannot get it.
