690 COMMONS JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 4, 1760–AUGUST 6, 1760It passed in the Negative.The House (according to Order) took the Message and other Papersbrought from the Lieutenant Governor this Morning into Consideration.And the said Message and other Papers being severally read a Secondtime.Resolved, That an Address be prepared to be presented to The LieutenantGovernor humbly to desire that his Honour will be pleased to use themost pressing Instances with Colonel Montgomery to prevail on him to continuewith the Forces under his Command in this Province.It being moved that the Public Treasurer be ordered to advance a Sumnot exceeding £10000 to pay such of the Provincial Forces as are now in theService of this Province.An Order was drawn for that purpose, which was read.Then another Motion being made, and the Question being put thatsuch Order be sent for the Lieutenant Governor’s Assent and the Concurrenceof the Council.It was resolved in the Affirmative by Mr. Speaker’s Voice.Ordered That the Public Treasurer do advance a Sum not exceedingTen Thousand Pounds to be paid to such Persons and in such proportionand manner as his Honour the Lieutenant Governor shall appoint for dischargingPart of the Pay due to such of the Rangers and Provincial Forcesas are now in the Service of this Province and intitled to Pay.That this Order be sent to his Honour the Lieutenant Governor for hisAssent, and to His Majesty’s Council for their Concurrence and that Mr.Speaker do sign the same.Resolved, That this House will make provision for reimbursing the Treasurerthe said Sum.According to Order an Address was drawn, to be presented to TheGovernor, which being twice read, was, with several Amendments being madethereunto, agreed to by the House and is as follows, vizt.May it please Your Honour,We, His Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Commons Houseof Assembly of this Province, return Your Honour our sincere and heartyThanks, for the Advices you were pleased to communicate to us in the Morning;And,Being deeply affected with the Contents of Colonel Grants Letter, whichimports that Colonel Montgomery will soon embark, with His Majesty’sTroops under his Command to join General Amherst, humbly beg leave torepresent to Your Honour, that we apprehend the Province to be in a moredangerous Situation, at this Juncture, than it was at the Time when the saidTroops arrived here; as the Upper Creek Indians have since murdered sev-
JULY 12, 1760691eral of the British Traders in their Towns, and made no Offer to give up theMurderers or make any other Satisfaction whatever; whence we have thegreatest reason to believe that they will soon break out into open War: And,by what is mentioned in Colonel Grant’s Letter, we fear that our implacableEnemies, the French, have already spirited up and prevail’d with theChactaws to assist the Cherokees against us. And notwithstanding the presentRupture with the Cherokees has cost the Province, in less than Nine Monthsnear Fifty Thousand Pounds Sterling, Yet all our Endeavours to raise a numberof Forces capable of preventing the Cherokees from ravaging the Back-Settlements have proved ineffectual. This being the situation of the Provincewhen we had only the Cherokees to contend with, how deplorable then mustour Case be, shou’d Colonel Montgomery depart with the King’s Troopsunder his Command, and we have the united Attacks of the Cherokees,Creeks, and Chactaws (the three most powerful Nations of Indians upon theContinent) to repel, can be better imagined than described.Being truly sensible of your Honour’s good Inclinations to render everyService in your power to this Province, We, unanimously, intreat YourHonour to use the most pressing Instances with Colonel Montgomery notto depart with the King’s Troops, as it may be attended with most perniciousConsequences.Resolved, That the Address be presented to his Honour by the wholeHouse.Ordered, That Mr. Mazyck and Mr. Roper do wait upon The LieutenantGovernor, and humbly know his Honour’s pleasure when he will be attendedby the House.And then the House adjourned till to-morrow Morning, Nine of the Clock.Saturday the 12th Day of July 1760.Read the Journals of Yesterday’s Proceedings.Mr. Mazyck reported to the House that the Lieutenant Governor havingbeen waited upon, pursuant to their Order, humbly to know his Honour’sPleasure, when he would be attended by the House, had been pleased toappoint this Morning at Eleven of the Clock in the Council Chamber.Ordered That Mr. Wragg do carry the Order, directing the Treasurerto advance £10,000 for paying the Rangers and Provincials, to the LieutenantGovernor and Council, and desire their Concurrence.Ordered That Mr. Speaker do issue his Warrant for taking ThomasMiddleton Esqr. into Custody.Resolved, That Mr. John Brawn be Messenger of this House for thatpurpose.
