Some seven or eight years ago, a small work of some two hundred pages was published, entitled "The legends, traditions, and laws of the Iroquois or Six Nations," by Elias Johnson, a native Tuscarora chief, evidently a man of good English education. In the introductory chapter of his book he puts forth a brief but spirited defense of Indian character, and arraigns the white man in words of stirring eloquence for his acts of barbarism committed upon the Indian race. Addressing his language to the white man, he says: "If individuals should have come among you to expose the bar- barities of savage white men the deeds they relate would quite equal anything known of Indian cruelty.

The picture an Indian gives of civilized barbarism leaves the revolting custom of the wilderness quite in the background. You experienced their revenge when you had put their souls and bodies at a stake, with vour fire-water that maddened their brains. There was a pure and beautiful spirituality in their fate, and their conduct was much more influenced by it, as are any people. Christian or Pagan.

Johnson thus refers to the destruction of the Pequots by the pious Puritans of New England: "Is there anything more barbaric in the annals of Indian warfare than the narrative of the Pequotl Indians? When they awoke they were wrapped in flames, and when they attempted to flee, were shot down like beasts. From village to village, from wigwam to wigwam, the murderers proceeded, 'being resolved,' as your historian piously remarks, 'by God's assistance, to make a final destruction of them,' until finally a small but gallant band took refuge in a swamp.

Burning with indignation, and made sullen by despair, with hearts bursting with grief at the destruction of their nation, and spirits galled and sore at the fancied ignominy of their defeat, they refused to ask life at the hands of an insulting foe, and preferred death to sub- mission. As the night drew on, they were surrounded in their dismal retreat, volleys of musketry poured into their midst, until nearly all were killed or buried in the mire. Hope, and among his warriors are a long list of brave men unrivalled in deeds of heroism by any of ancient or modern story.

But in what country, and by whom were they hunted, tortured, and slain, and who was it that met together to rejoice and give thanks at every species of cruelty inflicted upon those who were fighting for their wives, their children, their homes, their altars, and their God? When it is recorded that 'men, women and children, indiscriminately, were hewn down and lay in heaps upon the snow,' it is spoken of as doing God's service, because they were nominally heathen.

But this was not done by savage warriors, and the crowd that huzzaed at the revolting spectacle assembled on the Sabbath day, in a Puritan church, to listen to the Gospel that proclaims peace and love to all men. His body was literally cut in slices to be distributed among the conquerors, and a Christian city rings with acclamation. Johnson further reminds us of a special instance of barbarism which peculiarly attracts our attention, " where, by the Governor of Jamestown, a hand was severed from the arm of a peaceful, unoffending Indian, that he might be sent back a terror to his people.

In conclusion on this subject, Mr. I would not detract from the virtues of your forefathers. How long since the helmet, the coat of mail and the battle ax were laid aside? Johnson might well have observed that whilst the coat of mail and the battle ax of our ancestors have been laid aside, there has been substituted in place of the before mentioned implements of war- fare, through the ingenuity of the refined and civilized white man, implements and engines of destruction in civilized warfare still more terrible; and marking more prominently a latent spirit of barbarism than the battle ax or other primitive implements of sanguinary con- test of the acre to which Mr.

But the Indian has contended against fate; his power is broken, and the charm of his ancient glory is among those things which are past, and his country, with its limpid streams, enchanting forests and majestic mountains, inherited from his fathers, shall know him no more. Pursued in his retreating footsteps by the onward march of civilized man, to the final extinction of his race, under the crushing decrees of inevitable destiny. Jonathan CarverSpanish Authorities. Some have endeavored to derive their origin from the Mongols, others from the Malays ; whilst those who rely upon the account coming to us from the Jews, as to the beginning and progress of the world and remarkable events in its history, are inclined to adopt the theory that the aboriginal inhabitants of this country are descendants from what is known as the Lost Tribes of Israel, or those ten tribes spoken of in Jewish history, concerning whose descendants no account is given us.

Inquiry into the origin of the aboriginal inhabitants of this country, and their past history, is as unsatisfactory and mysterious to us as the inquiry concerning the origin of matter itself, and as to everything having a material existence. We simply know that the land portion of the earth's surface, including the islands of the sea, are alike inhabited by the race of mankind, with such physical structures and characteristics of conduct as demonstrate the fact of their coming originally from one common source.

The fact that portions of the human family are found inhabiting remote islands of the sea, it would seem, can be accounted for in uo other way than that, at some very distant period in the world's history, the earth was traversed and the waters navigated to the extent and with the like facility of the present day, from which the inhabitants of the earth became scattered over its surface as we now find them ; and that at some time the art of navigation was lost or fell into disuse, whereby this communication was interrupted and ceased longer to exist, until restored in modern times ; and, for aught we know, the in- habitants of the earth may at some time have navigated the air with complete success, as is being attempted in modern times.

If we accept as true the Jewish account of the flood, or general inundation of the earth's surface, whereby the race of mankind was totally destroyed, with the exception of those who were gathered into the Ark of Noah, and that upon the disappearance of the waters this ark rested upon Mount Ararat, and from those who were saved therein sprang or descended all the present inhabitants of the earth, then we may accept as rational the theory that the original inhabitants of this country, found here at the discovery by Europeans, came from Asia across that narrow strait on the northwest coast, as has been very generally contended for.

Whoever has given this subject any considerable attention has not failed to find a marked resemblance between the aborigines of America and the people of Asia. But discarding the Jewish account of the flood, it would be just as correct and equally as consistent for us to suppose that the people of Asia are descendants from the aboriginal people of the American continent, as to suppose that the people of the latter are descendants from the people of the former continent.

Jefferson, in his " Notes on Virginia," presents a very consistent and plausible theory. He says, "that if the two continents of Asia and America be separated at all, it is only by a narrow strait ; so that from this side also inhab- itants may have passed into America, and the resemblance between the Indians of America and the eastern inhabitants of Asia would induce us to conjecture that the former were the descendants of the latter, or the latter of the former, excepting, indeed, the Esquimeaux, who from the same circumstance of resemblance, and from identity of language, must be derived from the Greenlanders, and these probably from some of the northern parts of the old continent.

In the theory of Mr. Jefferson, the Esquimaux, it will be seen, who inhabit the frozen regions, are not included in the common stock of the American race, but are of European descent, coming through the Greenlanders from some of the northern parts of the old continent. Concerning the origin of the American Indians, Mr. John Mcin- tosh, in his comprehensive work on the North American Indian, in giving his conclusions as to the result of his investigation, advances the opinion that the aborigines of North America, found here at the time of the discovery, with the exception of the Esquimaux, came from northeastern Asia.

The Esquimaux, he concludes, were a stock which came from northwestern Europe, thus pursuing the theory ad- vanced by Mr. Mcintosh says: "Asia, no doubt; con- tributed, at different periods, to the peopling of America with tribes of a different degree of civilization. The Tartars, Siberians and Kamschadales are, of all the Asiatic nations with whom travelers are acquainted, those who bear the greatest resemblance to the North American Indians, not only in their manners and customs, but also in their features and complexions. The Tartars have always been known as a race whose disposition led them to rove and wander in quest of conquest and plunder.

Mcintosh, "by all those travelers who made any inquiries after the nature and construction of the languages or dialects spoken in the northeast of Asia, that they partake in an eminent degree of the idioms of the American languages. Mcintosh then proceeds to make a critical comparison between the North American Indians and the tribes of northeastern Asia, and proves to his own satisfaction that they are identically the same stock, with the exception of the Esquimaux.

In further establishing his theory he says: "By the discoveries of Capt. Cook in his last voyage, it has been established without a doubt, that at Kamschatka, in latitude GO deg. It is also certain that, during the winter season, Behring's strait is frozen from one side to the other. Williamson, who was lieutenant to Cook in those voyages, has also asserted that from the middle of the channel between Kamschatka and America, he discovered land on either side.

This short distance, therefore, he says, should account for the peopling of America from the northeast parts of Asia. The same author further asserts that there is a cluster of islands interspersed between the two continents, and that he frequently saw canoes passing from one island to the other. The Esquimaux, on the east of Labrador, are evidently a separate species of men, distinct from all the nations of the American continent in language, disposition, and habits of life, and in all these respects they bear a near resemblance to the Northern Euro- peans.

Their beards are so thick and large that it is with difficulty the features of their face can be discovered, while all the other tribes of America are particularly distinguished for the want of beards.

The manners and customs of a people are stronger evidence in establishing race unity. These are more fixed and aiford stronger in- dications of character than mere language employed in communication between individuals. These relate to their religion, their fasts, their feasts, their mode of traveling, their domestic relations, and their mode of life in general.

Among other things Mr. Mcintosh makes a comparison of lan- guages, showing a similarity between the languages of the American Indian and some of the Asiatic communities, from which some examples are here subjoined: INDIAN. Lenni Lenape. Kotcham and Kitchi Indians of Penobscot and St. Johns- Keetoji. Kamschadales Manoa. Nathaniel J. Wyeth, who spent a number of years in the adventurous Indian trade west of the Rocky Mountains, and who be- tween and was an agent or factor of the Hudson Bay Com- pany, was led to consider the subject of the origin of the American Indian. He says in the winter of he saw tAvo Japanese who had been wrecked in a junk near the entrance to the straits of Fuca, and that if they had been dressed in the same manner and placed with the Chinook slaves, whose heads are not flattened, he could not have dis- covered the difference between the two.

This instance is but one in the long chain of proof which has been brought forward from numer- ous sources, leading to the irresistible conclusion that the American Indian is of Mongolian or Asiatic stock.

Peter Jones, an educated Indian of the Ojibway nation, wlio ap- pears to have been a man of remarkable intelligence, and who gave much attention to the history and traditions of his race, says: " I am inclined to the opinion that the aborigines of America came originally from the northern parts of Asia, and that they crossed over at Behring's straits. I think this supposition may account for the prevailing opinion among almost all the tribes, tliat their fore- fathers were first placed somewhere in tlie West, whence they took their journey toward the sun-rising.

The notion they entertain of the souls of the dead returning to a good country toward the sun-set- ting, may be derived from a faint remembrance of their having come from that direction, and the love they still feel for the better land they left behind. Many writers and ethnologists have found in the native tribes of America various traits and customs like those of the Jews, some of which are identically the same, presenting coincidences in this regard which it would seem could not exist, except upon the theory that they sprang from, or were at some time connected with, the latter people.

And so in regard to implements in use by the natives of North America at the time of the discovery, which were identical in many respects with those in use bv the inhabitants of Asia.

The bow and arrow found in use by the natives of North America were essentially the same implements used by the Tartars and other inhabitants of the Asiatic continent, including the ancient Jews. The stone ax in use by the aboriginal inhabitants of North America was, in its form, not unlike implements of the kind in use by the inhabitants of the Old World; and many samples of these have been found which are of the same general pattern as the modern steel ax of the present day.

Among other evidences that go to prove race unity, or that the American Indians of North and South. America are of one stock, is that which is called their totems or symbols, which mark the identity of a tribe, band or family. This characteristic was found among all the tribes, it would appear, from the Arctic region to Cape Horn. On the subject of race unity.
