To the Editors of the Buffalo Gazette.
Gentlemen - I have this day been in Council with the principal Chiefs and warriors of the six nations of Indians, and I find them, as heretofore, determined to remain at peace with the United States. Their professions of friendship towards us are strong, and I believe they are sincere. I cannot discover any cause which the people have to apprehend any danger from the Indians in this quarter, and do recommend it to the inhabitants not to leave their homes on account of any supposed danger or injury they are apprehensive of receiving from the Indians.
