The Indian must be _humanized_ before he can be loved. This is the defect in the attempts of poets and novelists. They do not show the reader that the red man has a feeling, sympathising heart, and feeling and sympathies like his own, and consequently he is not interested in the tale. It is a tale of a statue, cold, exact, stiff, but without _life_. It is not a man with man’s ordinary loves and hopes and hates. Hence the failure of our _Yamoydens_, and _Ontwas_, and _Escatlas_, and a dozen of poems, which, although having merits, slumber in type and sheepskin, on the bookseller’s shelf. HORTS’ CORNERS, CATT. One seems here, as if he had suddenly been pitched into some of the deep gorges of the Alps, surrounded with cliffs and rocks and woods, in all imaginable wildness. COLD SPRING, ALLEGANY RIVER. [Sep. 3.] Reached the Indian village on the reservation at this place, at 9 o’clock in the morning. Indians call the place Te-o-ni-gon-o, or De-o-ni-gon-o, which means Cold Spring. Locality of the farmer employed by Quakers, at the mouth of a creek, called Tunasassa; means a clear stream with a pebbly bed. Allegany river they call Oh_e_o, making no difference between it, and the stream after the inlet of the Monongahela. Gov. Blacksnake absent; other chiefs, with his son Jacob meet in council; business adjusted with readiness. Allegany river low; very different in its volume of water and appearance from what it was 27 years before, when I descended it, on my way to the WEST. Lumbering region; banks lined with shingles, boards, saw logs. Indians act as guides and lumbermen. Not a favorable location for the improvement of the Senecas. Steal their timber; cheat them in bargains; sell whiskey to them. Had the imaginative Greeks lived in Allegany county, they would have pictured the Genesee and Allegany rivers, as two girls, who having shaken hands, parted, the one to skip and leap and run eastward to find the St. Lawrence, and the other to laugh through the Ohio valley, until she gradually melted into the ocean in the gulf of Mexico.
