The lieutenant-governor and Colonel Dalrymple were disposed to temporize. Hutchinson said he had no power to remove all the troops. Adams proved that he had, by more trifling with the will of the people. Stretching forth his hand towards Hutchinson, and in a voice not loud but clear, he said: If you have power to remove one answer is expected. This was the voice of the province — of the continent. Hutchinson grew pale; his knees trembled; and Adams afterwards said, I enjoyed the sight. After conferring together in a whisper. Hutchinson and Dalrymple promised to send all the troops to Castle William, in Boston Harbor. Mr. Adams was early marke

There was an immense number of the Six Nations present. The royal governors failed to gain anything for themselves in the way of a. revenue. but satisfactory arrangements with the Indians, including the tribes along the southern borders of Lake Erie, were made. At that conference the commissioners from Massachusetts (Andrew Oliver and Thomas Hutchinson) presented a memorial for adoption, praying the King so far to interpose as that, while the French remained in Canada, the more southern colonies, which were not immediately exposed to hostilities, might be obliged to contribute in a just proportion towards the expense of protecting the inland portions of New York and New England.

Indemnification for losses by the officers of the crown was demanded by the British government and agreed to by Massachusetts. Hutchinson received $12,000; Oliver, $645; Story, $255; Hallowell, $1,446.
