" Bad policy, thought I; but, from prudential motives, said no more upon the sub- ject till our return to the house, when by re- peated questions I gained such information from the communicative Manuel of the Spaniards' in. Humanity towards their unfortunate captives as LETTERS FROM PARAGUAY. 93 made my blood run coldly through my veins, and my heart revolt from the idea of owning such tyrannic beings for my fellow-creatures. When the Spaniards first landed on this injured country the innocent ...inhabitants received them as gods from a distant region. Then was the time for them to have established their reign on the im- mortal basis of justice and of mercy, and to have secured a certain empire over the minds as well as bodies of their new subjects. Lenity and kind- ness, it has ever been allowed, are far more efficacious in gaining the affections and govern- ing the passions of an untutored savage than rigor and severity unjustly adopted, injudiciously applied. In strong uncultivated minds there is no me- dium affection between ardent love and the most deadly hate.
