Their havmg pofi'e?ion of this country would be of {till more, pernicious confequence to us; as by the conveniency of the Ohio and its branches, they would have it in their power at any time to attack, to great advantage, either our northern or fourhern provinces. By means of the Ohio they might come with their Indian: into the country of the five nations, and alfo the provinces of New York and Penfilrvam'a: while the river of the C harokees, one of its branches, which falls in to it near its mouth in the Mi?fippi, would give them an eafy pafi'age into the countiy of thofe Indians, and both Carolinas, which would lie open to their attacks. In reality, were they ?rong enough, they might at prefent invade us on that {ide by this laft river, having fecured admiffion into it by the forts which they have ereéted at the mouths of the Ohio and the Waba/b.
