the bank actually reduced the rate Of its discount 10

II went some time since, in company
with an intimate friend, to a soiree, held
some distance from Paris, at the house of
a mutual friend lately married. When
we entered, three ladies were in the act
of executing trio. The husband intro
duced us to his wife, pretty looking per-
sonage, to whom | expressed my regret
that l had not been able to pay my res
poets earlier.

"You have, indeed, gentlemen; YOU

ven! What soul! How mystical in his
harmony! How his modulations seem to
embody themselves with each other, and
to plunge the soul into strange reveries. "
My friend looked at me with astonish-
ment.
"This woman is indeed genius" said
|, in low tone.

On the contrary, the North American
Fur Company have but few posts on the
west side of the Rocky Mountains, and
these are but feeble. Its agents procure
all their furs themselves, trading but little
with the Indians, who are opposed to
them, being instigated by the policy of
the Hudson's Bay Company. Three or
four hundred hunters and trappers remain
in that country, who repair during every
summer to the places sofrendezvous, where
they meet the caravans from the United
States. Wherever the Hudson's Bay
Company plants its iron footsteps, there
the American trade is sure to decline.
The principal places of rendezvous for
the American traders are on Green river,
a branch of the Colorado at the foot of
the Rocky Mountains, and at Pierrea
Hole. A portion Of the American fur
traders are also stationed around the great
lakes, at the posts formerly occupied by
the old French and English companies
and large quantity Of fish is annually
taken in the waters of Lake Superior,
which are shipped, together with the furs
collected, to New York. The precise
amount of furs collected annually by the
American Fur Company, we are not able
to state but it is doubtless great, notwith-
standing all the disadvantages under
which they labor from the sometimes
open, but more generally covert opposi-
ton Of the great rival association.
The Hudson's Bay Company appears
always to have opposed the colonization
of the territory stretching along the Pacl-
The Polynesian., 1841-08-21

trade within our continent from the first
colonization of the country; and although
it is mere outline, it may tend to convey
a faint idea Of its vast magnitude and I'M
portance. It's operations are now extend
ed to a portion Of the empire, OF Little I'M
mediate value to US, but advancing III
proportion to the increase of our popula-
ton. 1t appears to be of great national
utility that we should husband whatever
of resources are contained within our ma
tional domain, before they are divested OF
a source of great wealth, by a horde OF
lawlcss trappors in the employ of British
corporation, securing our mountain chains
upon their feet horses, out of the pale OF
the law. and distant from the restraints of
civilization, regardless of God or man.
With the advancing population of the
country, and its growing enterprise, we
may anticipate that the streams along the
Pacific coast and the harbors of its shores,
will be partially colonized, and that even
the waves of the western ocean may be
ploughed by productive commerce, as
they are already studded with the CAN
vass of our whaling ships. If any portion
of that territory is ours by the right of
discovery, conquest, occupation, or trca-
ty, it should be possessed as our own.-
Its territory should be respected, and any
aggressions upon its domain should be
treated with that punishment which be-
longs to all violators of treaties. We
doubt not that many difficulties are in the
way. The country is filled with savage
tribes, hostile to the United States, from
whom nothing is to be hoped, and every
thing is to be feared. The gigantic pow
er of the Hudson's Bay Company is hold
ing all the influences of that quarter with
its iron grasp. But could not portion
of the influence and the wealth which are
now devoted to party strife, be applied
with advantage to the establishment of
our national rights in that region? If our
empire possesses any northwest boundary
ought not this boundary TO be adjusted !?
Ought not the stars and stripes to float
over it, backed by sufficient military
power, to preserve its wealth, and to pro-
tect it from unjust invasion?
