FROM THE AURORA.
EXTRACT TO THE sp1ror.


. Washington, Dee. 81, 1907.
yesterday message was received
from the President OF the United Stare,
announcing the pleasing intelligence, thas
the Indians which had for some time en-
bodied around Detroit, had, after holding
several councils, determined to return
home to their respective NATIONS AT their
last council, IT Epas declared, thar the Bril-
nm mad fersuaded them 10 take IN arms
asoin8tthe United Stufes, and that thew
must determine what course lhey were ia
pursue, as they were pressed to immediate
war, and must either engage immed atelv
or return hcme The genera sentiments
OF the Chiefs, was, that the conduct of the
British government of Canada, and the 90
vernment of the United States. pointed out
tne path which they were to follow. the
y. States, had greatly benefited the ludi-
an tribes, and treated them as friends
they did not invite them to war, hut en-
deavored TO teach them all that theythemL
selves knew. The British on the other
hand, had excited them to war. and DID
nothing for them at home, but what was
intended te~employ them in war.-The
BRUSH now wish them to go to war with
the United states but the United States
do the Indians no harm; the British do
the Indians no good. The u States do the
mans . hdrHh, tney 90 them great
deal OF good, and even now they do NOT
wish the Indians to go to war; they bid
the Indians stay at home and be peaceabIe.
and even if war takes place, not to take
part with either party. These points were
dwelt on, and these differences drawn from
them. The solicitudc of the Briti.h, to
make the Indians go to war, Showed they
had no confidence in their own strength.
without the Indians The advice of the
United States, showed that they thought
themselves strong enough fer the British,
without Indian aid n certain sign that
they were So Besides that, the u. States
were friends of the Indians; prudence
ought to teach them, that when one pow
err was so strong as TO do without them
and the other so weak, as TO call upon them.
and wish them to begin the war; thatthe
Indians, If they took part with the weak
est, would stand chance of beng ester-
minated. Both interest and prudence,
then forbid their going 10 war against the
Onited States and they determined to
return to their own bomcs.--The facts are
the substance Of private letters, and of a
public dispatch The public document is
