The Miamis at length concluded to join in a visit to theProphet, and also invited the Weas to join with them. About this time, the governor was informed by an aged Piankishaw, friendly to the United States, that the Prophet had actually formed aplan for destroying the citizens of Vincennes by a general massacre;and that he boasted that he would walk in the footsteps of the greatPontiac. From another source the governor learned that there wereprobably three hundred Indians within thirty miles of... the Prophet'squarters; and that although their proceedings were conducted with greatsecrecy, it had been discovered that they were determined to stop theUnited States' surveyors from running any lines west of the Wabash. Other evidences of approaching hostilities were not wanting. TheProphet, and the Kickapoos who were at his village, refused to acceptthe salt which had been sent up to them as a part of their annuities, and after it had been put upon the shore, the carriers were not onlyrequired to replace it in their boat, but whilst doing so, were treatedwith rudeness, and ordered to take the salt back to Vincennes.
