aud threatened to make war ON the

won the confidence aud friendship OF
the savages, white our government and
is agents are objects of ldian dis,rust
AMI hatred ? While we daily read ol
whites p!undcred and murdered by
the Indians sputh Of British America
peace prevails between the Canada II
whites aud the r,admen beyond our
border. The slaughter-, Scalping,
and other evidences OF indiia cunity
10 the territories Of the United States
within the last ten years would maxi.
a horrible book OF mammoth dimensions.
while Indian atrocities in British
Americs, d ,ring the same period
have been almost iinot quite unknown.
The cost Of our Indian policy. includ-
iog military expeditions aSainst tn
Indians, has been Imurnse, while The
Canadians manage their Indis II al

pense. Our auIhoiIies ought to take
lessons Of our northern peighb T. il the

better than that of our government
and the tact reflects very unfavorably
