It is said that West, the American painter, when he first saw the Apollo, at IJome, exclaimed instantly, "A young Indian warrior ! " — and, however startling the association may appear, POEMS RELATING TO AMEKICA. some of the graceful and agile forms -which I saw that day among the Tuscaroras were such as would account for its arising in the young painter's mind. After crossing "the fresh- water ocean" of Ontario, I passed down the St. Lawrence to Montreal and Quebec, staying for a short time at... each of these places ; and this part of my journey, as well as my voyage on from Quebec to Halifax, is sufficiently traceable through the few pieces of poetry that were suggested to me by scenes and events on the way. And here I must again venture to avail myself of the valuable testimony of Captain Hall to the truth of my descriptions of some of those scenes through which his more practiced eye followed me; — taking the liberty to omit in my extracts, as far as may be done without injury to the style or context, some of that generous surplusage of praise in which friendly criticism delights to indulge.
