The English are swift as the eagle, and strong as the buffalo.

Like the eagle they flew hither over great waters; and like the buffalo nothing can withstand them.

But the feathers of the eagle are soft, and signify kindness; and the skin of the buffalo is covering, and signifies protection.

Let these, then, remind them to be kind, and protect us." The alliance was soon made.

The treaty contained stipulations on the part of the English, concerning trade; reparation of injuries, should any be committed; and punishment for impositions, should any be practised upon them; and, on the part of the Indians, a free and formal cession of that part of the region which was not used by the Yamacraws, nor wanted by the Creeks.
