Mfr EDIToR;-I have read recently with great
pleasure an article in the 55th No ofthe North
American Review on the subject of the North
American Indians. Its object is evidently, to
refute statements in the 6ist No. of the Lon
don Q iarterly Review, III which the policy and
relations of the American Government towards
these unfortunate people. are misrepresented
and most grossly belied.
It is well known to the American people ge.
nersay, that this periodical (the Quarterly lie.
sew) under its former conductor, has always
ben Characterised by rancourOus hostility to
s'rds this country; manifested upon every 0c-
eason, in season and out OF season; and calcu.
LIED IRON ITS general circulation IN England and
indeed throughout the world. to poison the
public mind IN regard to our government, in
stutions and manners.
The North American Review has more than
cDce stepped forward boldly as the champion
of our country's cause, and has never failed
#bet, to send back with increased force, the
blum attempted to be heaped upon us, This
wss most trumphanty done in their answer to
Pie snarhng review by the Quarterly of Mr.
John Dunn Hunters work, in which the N. A.
Review established beyond doubt, that the
Quarterly lad stepped out of its path TO pa.
tOniss gross imposter, merely for the purpose
OF giving currency to his vulgar SANDERS against
PIE American people and government. The
present article is one of equsl merit, with per-
maps more moderation OF style, ana presenting
most triumphant comparison between the
c )nduct of the United States and Great Britain
towards the Indians.
The article IS SAID to be from the pen of Gov
Cass and there are many things in it 10 confirm
ulls OPINION whatsoever it may be, il must re-
fect credit upon tie author, and nv present
dce IS merely to cal the attention OF the pub.
q, TO an essay, which must excite deep ine
rest and feelings of pride & congra, uls ton in
ae bosom OF every man who has regard for his
foantrys reputation and prosperity.
