GEORGE WASHINGTON.
UNITED STATES, December 17, 1794.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:
I lay before Congress copies of the journal of the proceedings of the executive department of the government of the United States south of the river Ohio to the 1st of September, 1794.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
UNITED STATES, December 30, 1794.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:
I lay before you a report, made to me by the Secretary of War, respecting the frontiers of the United States. The disorders and the great expenses which incessantly arise upon the frontiers are of a nature and magnitude to excite the most serious considerations.
I feel a confidence that Congress will devise such constitutional and efficient measures as shall be equal to the great objects of preserving our treaties with the Indian tribes and of affording an adequate protection to our frontiers.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
