Note 372 — Chapter XXV · 1764. THE RIOTERS MARCH ON PHILADELPHIA.

Remonstrance of the Frontier People to the Governor and Assembly. See Votes of Assembly, V. 313.

The “Declaration,” which accompanied the “Remonstrance,” contains the following passage: “To protect and maintain these Indians at the public expense, while our suffering brethren on the frontiers are almost destitute of the necessaries of life, and are neglected by the public, is sufficient to make us mad with rage, and tempt us to do what nothing but the most violent necessity can vindicate.”
