Those, therefore, who have recommended the invasion of Spa nish America, for the purpose of being joined by the Indians, on their proffered emancipa tion, were not only ignorant of the character and habits of that people, but of the real situa tion in which they stood ; and it has been most justly observed, that though the con- 245 quests of the Spaniards in the New World were founded on injustice, stained with blood, and marked with cruelty, it would yet be a greater crime than even the enormi...ties of Pizarro in Peru, and Valdivia, in Chili, united, at presient to move the Spanish settlements to reclaim the dominion, that was usurped from their ancestors. The Indian, brutal from want of civilization, abandoned from possess ing no sense of honour, and sunk in apathy from the torpid state in which he has been left, might yet be reclaimed from his vices by wise policy and schooling, of which ex perience has always taught us they have been most susceptible ; but to place in his hands authority, possessed as he is of the secrets of Europeans, even were it practicable, or he disposed to assert it, would be a project, more perniciously visionary, than ever entered the brain of religious fanaticism, or revolutionary fervour.
