'vhich they gisecf' the tate coz ederacy under

That they cO'btantiy refroach hin, 7wth

death-that they are oil desirons Of max

as they are informed that they 4viH be nell

different tribes and gvarmiy urged them

1 caunot say, sir, ho7u much ofthe above
may be dchended on. I 6eHeuc however,
that the statement made by the chief is gen
crafty correct, particularly 7rith regard TO
the Present diShoSlion y'Me Indians. II is
certain that our frontiers lace never cnjoy-
ed more hryound tranquility than at this
time. NO injury Qfany kind that I can hea,'
ofhas been done other to the iierso7iS or FRO
herty ofour citizens. BGfore the e1faedifion,

veratious appreciation being committed. TIE
Kckahoo chiefs certainly tel an untruth,
7vhcn they say there acre but rleven ofthis
tribe killed and tcn rounded Ii is fDihossi-
BILE to believe that frazer 7rere rounded than
killed. Ihey acknowledge, ho7yevcr. that
