There was, howeverI assure you, no.

spouse to justify the wicked ideas which
this ill-omencd ornament suggested.
After the conference vas at an end,
they partook of wine, cakt, and dher re-
freshments, of which thN were no wise
sparing; and then ligbdng THEFT pipes,

1t is impossible to see these people,
and believe, as do, that they are detln-
ed, in no very long lapse of tine, to dis
appear from the face of the earth, With
out feeling for them gres' interest,"
With some vices, and pach grossness,
they possess many fine traits OF charac-

were the native BIRDS Of that soil which
they are gradually yielding to their in
vaders. Yes, l irmly believe that all
our liberal and humane attempts to civil
lie them will Prove, hopeless and un,

quire our bad hbits before our good

its long continuance, SO modified the ma
ture of their rae that it cannot thrive
under the restraints OF civilization, !
know not; but It is certain that all the
tribes which haye remained among us
have gradually iwindled to insigniticance
or become entirely extinct. You know
that every experiment to rear the young
wild duck has failed, and that they die
as certainly by your kindness as your ne

sidering the race to be thus transient,
have often wished that more pains were
bestowed, and by more competent per.

BILE and peculiar among them, now that
those peculiari,ies are fresh and un-
changed by their connection with U.s.
And am sorry that have not been able
to give you more faithful picture of a

is calculated to shew them to the best adj
vantage. l am sure / have given you a
