For my part, I am of the opinion, that so far as we have reason, we have a right to use it, in determining what is right or wrong; and should pursue that part which we believe to be right- believing, that “whatever is, is right.” If the Great and Good Spirit wished us to believe and do as the whites, he could easily change our opinions, so that we would see, and think, and act as they do.

If I attach myself to the mother country, which is 3000 miles from me, I become what is called an enemy to my own region. If I follow the rest of my countryman, I become opposed to our ancient masters, both extremes appear equally dangerous to personal of so little weight and consequences as I am, whose energy and example are of no avail.
