expressions with far less paternal sway they sut-
fered under the "civizing" ordeal through which.
they passed by the Jesuit missionaries, imme-
diately subsequent to the conquest" BY these
Transforming processes, the primitive feroclty OF
these hapless people seems to have been eradicated
from their very natures and we consequently find
that most of tho Indians Of Ecuador at this day. are
remarkably docile and submissive, under the domi-
nation of the Spanish Hidalgo race and their hybrid
progeny.
Yet, numerous tribes of these primeval soyereigns
of the SOIL still lnger as untutored savages about
the head-waters Of the Amazon, occasionally com
hitting fearful ravages upon the settlers in the chap
aras of the Eastern Province of.this republic Ana
never having passed under the plastic hands OIL
either the " Incas or the "Jesuits," they continue
to this day untamed and ferocious as beasts
prey, with their carnivorous lust for human nesh
stiN unslakedl"
In view of these facts, therefore, it is apprehend-
ded that that particular region is doomed, Tor the
present at least to hopeless desolatlon as the
inexplorable wilds of Africa And Mr. WHITE our
Minister resident at Quito, would fam counsel those
of his countrymen who may imagine that their &C.
MUS is cran,ped within the ample margin OF their
own broad republic, to give their spirit of adventure
direction more hopeful of thrills following enter
prize than that which would lead them into the
wids of the "Napo."
But, peradventure, there may be disciples of Sir
in their own day and generation ttosng fame as
founders of some model commonwealth within
the realms of UTOPIA" by whom the Minister
residents advice might be deemed quite gratutous.
To such it perhaps hopeless to offer his coun
sells; but to matter of.fact adventures, who 60
abroad with an honest purpose of lettering their
condition in the world he would say in all Kindness
that the ''NApo country" is no place for them.-
Those Americans who migrated thither some two
years ago, have found the yield of the I" placers"
too scanty pay and their circumstances too strait
ened to enable them to colonize with either profit or
safety and such survive are abandoning the en-
terprse unteasble preferrng to take their chance
in California, or even Australia.
The FAME OF WASHINGTON
As an incident in illustration of the worldwide
admiration of the character of the immortal WASH
INGToN and the profound reverence cherished by all
civilized people for his memory, we give the follow
ing sentiment, drank at an entertainment given by
Mr.. WHITE, our Minister Resident in Ecuador, at
the last anniversary of Washingtons birth day, by
DR.. RAMON MINo, distinguished lawyer of Quito:
TRANSLATION.
I" The 22d Of February: Among the benefcent
purposes of GoD, the 22d of February was signal
lied as an suspicious era, whence We may date
happier destiny for the human race. On this day
MAN was born whose name was destined to give tr-
umph to liberal institutions in all time. Hencefor
ward we may remain assured, that the world will
revert to its prmeva chaos tyrants can succeed
in ens!aving the earth. And after all finite exis-
fences shall have passed away Celestial beings will
sing hosannas in memory of the nativity and the
NAME Of GEORGE WASHINGTON"

MEssRs. EDITORS perceive in the last Raleigh
Register over the signature of " Bobbing Around
article in reference to onr late Convention held
flor the purpose of nominating candidates to repre-
'esent the Democracy of Wake county IN the next
Legislature of North Carolina.
The author of this wonderful production certainly
displays cast fund of wit and learning, as we'll al
so as most prodigous faculty for-lying.
"Bobbng Around" Messrs. Editors is certainly
genius, and destined to become "narcellous pro.
per man." 1t is time he should be known. Such
prodigies as he were not " born to blush unseen
and pass through life unknown and 60 down to the
loathsome grave unhonored and unsung There
fore, beg leave, through the columns of the Stan
dard, to offer this my humble tribute to his worth,
and hope it will meet hearty response in the
bosom of every Know Nothing friend of his in the
good old North State:
Come heavenly muse with melodious sound.
For young Bobbing Around IS a wonderful fellow,
And one Of his traits is, he sometimes gets-meAoU:
Young Bobbng Around is excellent poet,
And can tell why sheep don't resemble yoat;
He can also distinguish an ass from donkey,
As well as the next little chatterng monkey.
Young Bobbing Around will have you to know,
is las well as pOet) uOctOr also;
Drugs of every description young Bobbing can laix,
And all sorts of naus eeus pills he can fix.
He bleed you and purge cup you and blister,
Or, if necessary can give you a-gLister.
So Pm sure Esculapius with pleasure would own
Young Bobbng Around as his we'll beloved son.
Now thirdly, young Bookings Sunday School teacher,
And pray and can sing and exhort like preacher;
And Bobbing, no doubt, will be bobbng around
Ere long, to poor sinners Gods word to expouLd.
For he thinks he has surely of late "had q Gull
To offer free grace and salvation to ALL
But for poor l5obbing-aas his condition.
He will lose his reigion-he has turned politician.
Come back, U, pray you dear Bobbing come back
Or soon you will find yourself out Of tie truck.
Stick close your books and drugs and your pills.
And learn to cure levers and agues and chills-
Democratic Conventions and Know Nothings too,
Dear Bobbing, not proper places FIR you
You have stated already, my dear little son.
In late Raleigh paper more stories Man
And while was reading l couldn't help signing,
With sorrow to think you had SO turned to lying.
l love you, dear Bobbing, and pray you come back
To the paths of religion and follow the truck
If needs you must write, why Bobbing, forsooth,
Write poetry, son, and stick to the truth.
Now, I" q hint to the wise is sufficient =" for them,
Most respectfully Bobbing, your dear uncle
"SHEM."
