Foster discusses a campaign against the Creek Indians, led by Andrew Jackson, in which he was a participant. Discusses the "unlawful pretensions" of the British, demands that Americans "must be as safe abroad as at home," and hopes the War of 1812 "may never be closed until the object for which it was commenced be attained 'free trade'."
