Mr.. CLAYTON July 10, ls49. Again page 1873 Of
the same document there is specimen Of of these
grants, signed by her Britannia Majesty's vice consul
james Green and statement OF of money paid for
survey of the land by Robert Woods surveyor Eng
sbman Mr. Marcy instructs Mr. Buchanan that there is
really no Mosquito government II is he says, merely
British government
Mr.. CASS Now, sir, have neither time patience
10 examine and expose this ground assumed by Lord Car
endon That the whole of the Mosquito country just
much under the subsection of England the island Of Ja
maca is obvious the palpabe fact which is
passing before the world.
A few days ago, sir, when this subject before the
Senate recalled some "reminiscences connected with Eng
fish pban thropc professions Of regard for the Indians of
which we have heard much IN this country and
upon that occasion appealed to the honorable senator
ON Kentucky slr. CnlrTEspEs witness of the truth
Of my assertions, | the appeal to-day, because
know him TO be competent one both traditional and per-
sona for hayog been born and lived all his life the

by the Indians he early heard the tales OF horror which In

combined Christian and barbarian army where the red
had been subsidized To fight the warfare of the white
He kDewthe county knews, indeed that these allies, rs
they called by the British commissioners at Client
purchased by lavish distribution of money, and
presents and whkey and by the hopes of gaining Indian
trophies in the form Of human scalp to be reaped in
bloody harvest frontiers This state OF things
eoqueny feeingy depicted than by Fisher
Ames in address in the House of Representatives re-
markabe In oratofcal history for Its beauty 1t took
place during the administration OF General Washington
resolution that il expedient make appropriations
for carrying into effect the treaty with Great Britain The
equences of the failure do formed the principle
topic of Mr. Amess remarks and among these the Indian
hostiltes to which should be exposed by English In
huence the Indians, were the most prominent His
thrilling accents yet almost ring In my ears The eloquent
speaker saidi
On this theme my emotions unutterable. II coala
find words them if powers bore any proportion to
zeal would swell my voice to such note Of remopsrance
il should reach log house beyond the mountains
would say to the inhabitants wake from your false security
cruel dangers apprehensions be
neret! The wonds, yet uhhesled, ere W be torn
again. In the daytime path through the woods will
be ambushed; the darkness of midnight will glitter with the
blaze Of dwellings, You atherthe blood OF your

warwboop shall wake the sleep of the cradle"
look with feeling of loathing upon this interference
Of civilized nation with savage tribes living out OF It's
territory and within the domnions of another power And
the feeling reaches indignation when he measure is cloak
ed by hollow professions of philanthropy while in fact
ii dictated by the purposes Of power. Our experience
has been long and costly and do not believe that
there has since been any change in this system OF political
ethics which accelerated the downfall OF Indians and
which Is producing similar fate upon the coast of Gen.
trail America. May aboriginal inhabitants be every
where delivered from the protection Of such protector
bet Us survey ts matter of the treaty from another
point of view change of position often gives increased
interest the landscape Suppose arrangement
like this had been entered into between the French and
English for the purpose of securing transit
the isthmus Of Suez and safe communication
through the Bed for both parties TO the rich regions OF
eastern Asia end suppose the French government had
endeavored under the claim of protection, and by
of money--that key to the heart of Arab-to gain
ascendency of the Ishmaelite tribes the east
OF the Red sea- with consus board and lodge
the chiefs and 10 give them advice and cpnion'those
the words-upon all important affairs say suppos-
ing all this what would be the course OF the British gov
ernment7 And the question becomes still more emphatic
If TO these suggestions join another that the French
should add insult injury by offering such reasonsno
reasons bupsuch pretextsor their want OF faith as
cooy presented aud urged for satisfaction and acA
quiescence will not pursue the inquiry il cannot be
cessary. The may be read In the history of Eng
land, and he who seeks it there find it
