How deplorab.e is i that some OF the blessings
OF civilization could not have been extended 10
the Red Man ct the beginning ol his acquaintance
with the whites Instead OF oppression, false
hood, fraud and violence, ifhe had been met with
the open hand and the true heart, the pobIer traits
Of his wild nature would have been developed and
kept in active play, while his ferocious and cruel
passions would have slept harmless. There are
few subjects of m,re melancholy interest than
The retrospect ofthc White trsatement OF the Abo-
rigines 1.-THE latter have been b!Ood-thitsty aud
revengeful to pitch almost OF demonism, sure
never was such bourdless p,ovocation TO outrage
offered TO any people. DesP1liei OF the lands, de-
ffaqded on. OF their annui;ies, corrupted IN heart
and maddened N brain By contact with the Whites
and the introduction OF RuEI,-drigen from the
graves of their fathers and seOt to wander where
game is scarce and seasons uucongenal,-it IS TO
wonder that these wild and rude men have *
h,bted only the darker and harsher portions oil
their character to the view OF their prosecutors.
ct are they men OF hign and noble ieellngs-ann-
bilious, honorable, quick to understand, ready TO
jmprove docile and affectionate, if but they have
the opportunity offered them. There Is IN truth
more Of the real chvairy OF nature IN the Indian
character than in that oil any other OF the great
divisions OF the human family and we have often
soeculated upon the prob.be effects Of an early
and honest educatip OF the Red Man, and com.
ming Cling of his blood With ours. Had this been
f.i.ly carried out, ere the Indian had become bru-
talized and egaspcr.ttd by the tEescheTy and cru
el.v OF The Whites, we believe that our Own Ma
tional character would nave lacked some OF the
lollies and vices that nov disgrace it. The
schemiug, bargain making, appetlsing Anglo
Saxon might even yet learn from his Red brother
many lesson of moral and fraternal elevation Of
sentiment and he-o;su1 of action, which he seems
at present to have lost the power even OF con-
eeiving.


But after ell the rjus:ice the Red tHan has
sufFsred-untes all tie oppression ths, has been
heaped upon him and his-wild as ne is, antamed
and unaccustomed to yield to any thing but i'm.
prlse and instinct-it seems that ne is still "a
iional, educable, ,-actabie animal-s sentient be-
ing-in saor,, Mas. Well. we hope this fact,
although the knowledge oft comes so late. IS not
again to be forgotten.
