colours, than the agreement entered into with the Delaware Tribes, at a treaty concluded at Pittsburgh in 1778. By an article in that Treaty, _the United-States proposed_ that a State should be formed, to be composed of the Delawares and the other Tribes of the North,--and contracted to admit them, when so formed,--as one of the members of the Union."--[Historical Discourse, Ohio, 1838.] The above fact of History certainly proves the anxiety of the Congress, not only to avoid their enmity, but to provide at a future day _for their continuance as a People_, and not their "extermination." The same policy of the United-States has now placed all the Tribes on the West of the Mississippi,--(for they would form no community founded upon intermarriage), and there to be protected by the Government of the United-States against all invaders. In vain shall we search the Spanish Annals for an instance (in their Mexican Conquests,) of humanity like these acts of American commiseration and Christian policy. In the second sentence of the paragraph quoted from the Literary Gazette, the Editor has given the identical cause why the Mexican Aborigines are still found upon their lands,--not as owners, but as Slaves,--viz., _that they did intermarry_--("enter into a combination," &c.)--thence the _two_ races are apparent upon the strongest ground of argument,--viz., Religious principles,--and which, with all Aborigines are the guides to their actions. Therefore, the Editor by his remarks upon the Mexican race, actually solved, though unconsciously, the problem proposed in his first sentence. In forming a "comparison" between the Spanish invasion by Cortez, in 1520, and the landing of the Pilgrim-Fathers in 1620, any writer must fail,--for without _similitude_ there can be _no comparison_;--_contrast_ is the word, and never in the history of nations was there a greater contrast than between the Spanish and Anglo-Saxon races, in their _motive_ in landing in Mexico and in New-England: but the Editor has written "_Though the thirst of_ GOLD _was the same in_ BOTH _instances_, it does appear, and it is melancholy to reflect upon it, _that something of nobler impulses belonged to the elder_ (or Spanish) _æra_!" Cortez and Pizarro, and their bands of pirates, were alone possessed with an unquenchable "thirst of gold,"--it was "the god of their idolatry,"--even the humane Columbus could only hold his power with the Spanish Government by sending home the precious metal,--and when it failed, so declined his influence; and it at last compelled him to have recourse to making Slaves of the natives of Hispaniola,--and each had allotted to him a task of bringing a small bell full of gold from the mountains, and if they failed, stripes were their punishment;
