Extras of a letter from a Gentleman at John,own,
well acquainted with Indian affairs, to bis friend
in this city, dated Nov. 3.
" Col. Johnson has had much more success in
the issue of his latd congress with the Indians than
Gould have been reasonably expefted, in the present
critical fituationof affairs. The Indians appear ex
tremely happy at his anting as Superintendant, and
if the Viginians would desist from alarming the In
dians jealousies by persecuting a handful of them
to the southward, there is a good profped of a
sincere accommodation, which was really more
than Sir William Johnson expelled a little before
his death. Your city is, now, the feat of Ameri
can politicks; 1 give myfelf little concern in these
Blatters, but I heartily wish that all persons may be
governed by principles of justice, wisdom, and a
proportion of temper."
