The Voui ier of advocating the massacre

iu the remarka which we yesterday made
on the order of the American adjotaut gen

of charity, to say the least of it, to lasten
this meaning to them We wished to ex-
pose the hypocrisy which would endeavour
to hold up to unmixed execration,, that
which we have never failed to dp ourselves,
when placed tn the same situation. \\ «
wished also to expose that want of candour
which, in judging of others, makes no al
lowance for effects of deeply irritated feel
ings, and sees no difference between
acts of deliberate cruely, and acts to
winch outrages against humanity have
given rite'. “We ourselves,” we observ
ed, “followed precisely the practices which
we arc now condemning in them (the Ame
ricans.) This Joes not indeed from a justi
fication nf the Americans; but it ought at
ail events to render us a little more mod
est in arraigning their conduct.” Have
we soon forgotten the shocking barbarities

dians tu perpetrate nu the Americans, in
the revolutionary war, barbarities against
w ich, Chatham rmsetl his expiring voice,
and which Campbell, in. his Gertrude of
tVyouinz has consigned to immortal infa
my? Ha-e we forgotten the cvuelties which
we inflicted on the Maroon Negroes of
Jamaica, whom we hunt'-d down like wild
bears? Do we forget that we are at this
moment carrying on a war of savage ex
lermiuation in the great Island of Ceylon,
against the supporters of L.at very legiti
macy for which in Europe we have lavish
cd so much of the blood and treasure of the
country?
With respect to the Indians of Florida,
there is something so mean and disgrace
ful in the conduct of ministers towards them
hut we waut words to expres- our detes-
tinaiion of it. The unfortunate Arbuthnott.
ii the memorable letter which uur readers
will find in another column, says, “In thr
late war, they (the government) drew them
in-o their quarrel against America; at the
peace they agreed to see them protected
id their rights and privileges, and placed on
the same fooling as before the war; sine,
then they have ucver troubled themselves
about them.” Well might geueial Gaines
say jo Kinmljee “the Englishman will b«
theruiu of you yet.” Knuwing the savage
mod.- which the Indians uniformly carry-
on war, burning and devasting the country
wherever tin y go, and inflicting the most
shocking cruelties on persons ol all svxe*
and ages, who are so unfortunate as tu fall
into their hands, by the usual presents of

nfotunately all powerful with that wretch
d people; they stimulated them to take
part in a contest with which they had uo-
ll-ing to do whatever, anil then abandoned
then to the infuriated Americans.
The Indians are of little or no use as
uxiliaries; they are never to be depended
on. During the whole course of the revo
lutionary war, they did us always more
injury than service; nnd we found when
geueral Burgoyne was in distress, and on
many other occasions, that no other reli

The Americans knowing that they never
can be secure, while there remain indepen
dent Indians ou their frontiers, whom Bri
tish agents are incessantly stimulating to
acts ol outrage, will, we have no doubt,
compel them to submit to their authorities,
as has already been done in the state ot
New-York, Pennsylvania, etc. This is
wliat we meant, and wnat we shunld think
it was impossible to mistake, when we said
that Ihe'indepeudent existence of the Ame
ricans was inconsistent with the progress
of civilization.
We cannot avoitl suspecting that there
is more design in all this tliau at first sight
appears. It seems to ns that great pains
have lately'beeu taken to inflame the pub
lic uiin.i against America, and we cannot
help thinking that ministers are paving the
way for another war with America. Is
their hatred of a free government so root
ed, that they caunot bear to look 011 the
prosperity of eleven millions of men who
speak oar own language, and of whom we
have so much cause tube proud,though
that prosperity so materially contributes
to our own? America is, ol all countries
tn the world, that which we ought last to
