With the consent of the then President ofthe United States, a delegation from the society of Friends visited those Indians, and enquired into their complaints, and having gained such in formation as they could obtain, they were fully convinced that the treaty referred to, had been effected by very objection able means, without the agency or consent of a great majority ofthe Nation. Committees of Friends representing the Yearly Meetings of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Genessee, were accordingly appointed to extend such assistance to these Indians in the premises as they might be enabled to render; the result was, that a compromise arrangement was agreed Upon between the parties, by which about fifty-three thousand acres of their land-3 were relinquished back to the Senecas.
