  an 
  exchange 
  of 
  prisoners 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  made, 
  as 
  promised. 
  The 
  

   Indians 
  said 
  they 
  would 
  no 
  longer 
  suffer 
  Joncaire 
  or 
  other 
  

   Frenchmen 
  to 
  live 
  in 
  their 
  country. 
  Waiting 
  for 
  a 
  war 
  call, 
  

   and 
  so 
  not 
  hunting, 
  they 
  were 
  impoverished 
  and 
  ought 
  to 
  have 
  

   relief. 
  Johnson 
  had 
  a 
  trying 
  conference 
  with 
  them 
  at 
  his 
  house 
  

   in 
  August. 
  He 
  had 
  agreed 
  with 
  a 
  smith 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  Senecas 
  

   for 
  six 
  months 
  for 
  £70, 
  but 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  bellows 
  there 
  worth 
  a 
  

   pin. 
  He 
  thought 
  he 
  could 
  get 
  another 
  smith 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  and 
  

   had 
  sent 
  six 
  months' 
  provision 
  to 
  Onondaga, 
  there 
  being 
  no 
  

   food 
  there. 
  

  

  His 
  journey 
  to 
  Onondaga 
  in 
  April 
  and 
  May, 
  he 
  said 
  was 
  " 
  the 
  

   most 
  troublesome, 
  fatiguing 
  journey 
  " 
  he 
  ever 
  took, 
  but 
  the 
  kind 
  

   manner 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  received 
  him 
  made 
  amends 
  for 
  all. 
  

   They 
  were 
  out 
  of 
  humor 
  at 
  the 
  poor 
  results 
  of 
  the 
  war 
  and 
  needed 
  

   corn, 
  pork 
  and 
  other 
  things. 
  The 
  giving 
  up 
  of 
  the 
  Canadian 
  expe- 
  

   dition 
  seemed 
  to 
  him 
  ruinous 
  and 
  disgusted 
  the 
  Indians. 
  The 
  Sen- 
  

   ecas 
  had 
  already 
  expelled 
  Joncaire. 
  The 
  Todirighroones, 
  or 
  Sapo- 
  

   nies, 
  a 
  tribe 
  of 
  the 
  Catawbas, 
  were 
  now 
  allies 
  of 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  

   and 
  attended 
  some 
  councils. 
  The 
  Scaniadarighroones, 
  or 
  Nanti- 
  

   cokes, 
  did 
  the 
  same. 
  They 
  had 
  no 
  vote, 
  but 
  could 
  prefer 
  requests 
  

   by 
  virtue 
  of 
  their 
  adoption. 
  

  

  The 
  Mohawks 
  made 
  no 
  Canadian 
  incursions 
  that 
  year, 
  but 
  

   Governor 
  de 
  la 
  Galissoniere 
  had 
  a 
  council 
  with 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  

   Nov. 
  2, 
  1748, 
  Cachointioni, 
  (Kaghswuhtioni) 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  chief, 
  

   being 
  present. 
  He 
  was 
  then 
  a 
  French 
  partizan, 
  but 
  afterward 
  

   became 
  a 
  warm 
  friend 
  of 
  Johnson. 
  They 
  signed 
  a 
  declaration 
  

   that 
  they 
  were 
  not 
  subject 
  to 
  Great 
  Britain. 
  

  

  The 
  Cayugas 
  refused 
  to 
  aid 
  the 
  English 
  unless 
  they 
  would 
  

   fight 
  like 
  men, 
  which 
  they 
  had 
  not 
  yet 
  done, 
  but 
  word 
  came 
  

   from 
  Ohio 
  that 
  George 
  Croghan 
  was 
  informed 
  " 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   that 
  there 
  were 
  730 
  Men 
  of 
  us 
  of 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  settled 
  here 
  on 
  

   Ohio 
  & 
  able 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  War, 
  exclusive 
  of 
  other 
  Nations 
  which 
  will 
  

   make 
  up 
  as 
  many 
  more." 
  

  

  A 
  treaty 
  was 
  held 
  at 
  Lancaster 
  July 
  19, 
  1748, 
  at 
  which 
  Scar- 
  

   rooyady 
  was 
  speaker. 
  At 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations, 
  the 
  

   Miamis 
  were 
  received 
  as 
  friends 
  by 
  the 
  English. 
  Weiser 
  was
