on Fox
River, between Lewis Cass and Thomas L. McKenney, commissioners on the
part of the United States, and the Chippewa, Menomonie, and Winnebago
tribes of Indians, having been referred to the Secretary of War, the
report of that officer thereon is herewith inclosed. The papers therein
referred to were all transmitted to the Senate with the treaty. Before
that event, however, a petition and several other papers had been
addressed directly to me, in behalf of certain Indians originally and in
part still residing within the State of New York, objecting to the
ratification of the treaty, as affecting injuriously their rights and
interests. The treaty was itself withheld from the Senate until it was
understood at the War Department and by me that by the consent of the
persons representing the New York Indians their objections were
withdrawn, as by one of them, the Reverend Eleazer Williams, I was
personally assured. Those papers, however, addressed directly to me, and
which have not been upon the files of the War Department, are now
transmitted to the Senate.

_To the Senate of the United States_:

I transmit to the Senate, for their consideration and advice, a treaty
concluded at the Wyandot village, near the Wabash, in the State of
Indiana, between John Tipton, commissioner on the part of the United
States, and the chiefs, headmen, and warriors of the Eel River or
Thorntown party of Miami Indians, on the 11th day of February last.

A letter from the commissioner to the Secretary of War, with a copy of
the journal of the proceedings which led to the conclusion of the
treaty, are communicated with it to the Senate.
