Outina chafed in his prison on learning these dissentions; and, eager to convince his over-hasty subjects that their chief still lived, he was so profuse of promises that he was again embarked and carried up the river.

After referring to the hostilities of the Indians, and the possible intrigues of foreigners to check the growth of the United States, he said: "How unfortunate and how much to be regretted is it, that while we are encompassed on all sides with armed enemies and insidious friends, internal dissentions should be harrowing and tearing our vitals.
They seem to believe, and they act as if they believed, that our union, our peace, our liberty, are invulnerable and immortal as if our happy state was not to be disturbed by our dissentions, and that we are not capable of falling from it by our unworthiness.

This government lasted above two yeres: in which time such envie, dissentions and jarrs were daily sowen amongst them, that they choaked the seedes and blasted the fruits of all mens labors."
