 | | Under the new treaty, concluded between the Wyandot delegation and the government on April 1, 1850, the United States agreed to pay the Wyandots $185,000 for their claim on 148,000 acres of public domain, $85,000 in cash, and $100,000 to be invested in United States securities bearing a 5 percent interest. |
 | | On February 11, 1846, former governor of Ohio, T. Bartley, the Wyandot legal counsel, had agreed to prosecute their claim to the land or a monetary settlement, in return for 20 percent of whatever could be recovered from the government. |
 | | The Wyandots approved the treaty on May 23 with a few minor amendments by a vote of sixty-three to twenty, but Subagent Moseley reported that a majority of the Indians were opposed to the treaty. |
